After two months

At Night

Author's pov

Mikaeel was half lying on the bed bending one of his legs where he was resting one of his hands. His head was on the headrest, eyes were closed like he was lost in thoughts.

Coming out of the washroom Aurin found him lying like that and a smile played over her lips. With tiptoed she walked towards the bed and laid down beside him. Her one hand was under her head balancing it while another one automatically went forward to touch his cheek. But, she didn't want to disturb him so she took away her hand and continued looking at him with admiration.

" I know I am handsome," Aurin was startled by his sudden voice and her cheeks heated up when he caught her red-handed looking at him.

Turning in another direction she replied scoffing," Huh! You are so full of yourself.

Pulling her into his chest he buried his head in the crook of her neck. His beard started rubbing against her tender skin and she giggled feeling the tickling sensations.

" Umm........" Aurin moaned when he smashed his lips on hers.

While kissing her passionately, pouring all the feelings he has for her, his hands slipped inside her dress only to caress her smooth belly. His rough & thick fingers were moving slowly all over her belly and her breathing started getting heavier. A few minutes later his fingers started crawling down to the south when she stopped his hand.

Breaking the kiss she said loudly," I forgot to apply the face pack. I will be back."

Saying that she left Mikaeel who was irritated by her action. She giggled seeing his pissed off face. He was looking like an angry boy whose favourite toy was snatched.

Standing in front of the mirror Aurin was rubbing the face pack on her face when Mikaeel said scrunching up his nose," I wonder what's the benefit of rubbing this bird poop."

No matter what a man shouldn't look down upon his wife's cosmetics or any kind of skincare products. Otherwise, he has to face consequences just like Mikaeel. He compared her face pack with bird poop and now he is sitting on the bed like a guinea pig where she is busy applying that face pack on his face.

It's not easy to punish Mikaeel but Aurin knows how to handle him. She threatened him that she won't let him touch her for at least one month and bingo!! He accepted the punishment which she stored for him.

" Eww. This is gross. It stinks," Mikaeel whined scrunching up his nose in disgust and Aurin rubbed a bit more on his nose.

After getting satisfied with her work, she started laughing loudly looking at his pissed off face. He was looking funny with this brown substance on his face and his annoyed expression made her laugh out loud.

" Red lipstick on your lips and you will look like a clown," Aurin commented giggling when Mikaeel pulled her into his lap.

Sitting in his lap she circled her hands around his neck and a shy expression appeared on her face making her look down. Mikaeel's Adam's apple ran back and forth staring at her quivering pink lips. The way her body was clinging to him, he felt like throwing her on the bed and fuck the hell out of her.

" Face pack isn't enough for healthy skin. You have to massage also," Whispering in her ear he started rubbing his cheek with hers and Aurin turned red like a tomato.

A few moments passed and the face pack wasn't on the face anymore. It was now spread all over their body and both of them started panting hard after a round of passionate lovemaking. Mikaeel snuggled into Aurin's chest like a baby and she kissed his head.

" Hubby," Aurin called and Mikaeel only hummed closing his eyes.

" I want a baby. A little Mikaeel in my arms," those words left Aurin's mouth and his eyes got shot opened.

He looked at her raising his head and found her already looking at him with puppy dog eyes.

Letting out a sigh, Mikaeel replied, "Wifey, it's not the right time. I am not ready to be a father. I am not ready to sleep on stinky beds and tolerate crying 24 hours. Most importantly, I don't want to stay awake the whole night."

" Oh," Aurin let out turning in another direction and Mikaeel realized the disappointment in her voice.

Wrapping his hands around her waist he rested his head in the crook of her neck. She tried to get away from him when he tightened his grip.

" Wifey, everything has a right time and it's not the right time to bring a child between us. I still prefer two of us than three," Mikaeel tried to convince her and Aurin didn't argue further. She also understood that she should take more time for such a serious decision.

She was silent when Mikaeel whispered," I will take you to The Maldives for our honeymoon."

Aurin's face lit up and instantly she turned at him. She looked into his eyes and he gave her a genuine smile. But, her smile dropped remembering the previous incident.

" I don't wan..........." Aurin tried to say something but Mikaeel interrupted.

He said giving her side eyes," No need to remind the previous incident. I admit that I was at fault. Are you happy now?"

" Yup," Aurin replied showing her 32 teeth and the next moment she was again beneath him.

Two months passed and everything was going smoothly between Aurin and Mikaeel. Specifically, Aurin noticed a lot of noticeable changes in Mikaeel's behaviour. He doesn't act like a jerk anymore and shows off his ego every time.

With the passing time, he became more tolerable to her like he also wants to improve this relationship. Forgetting Maryam wasn't easy for him but unknowingly Aurin's presence made him forget about his past. It was like she did some magic on him and he came out of his past. Now, his every thought revolves around Aurin and he realized how much important she is in his life.

Seeing the changes in Mikaeel's behaviour Aurin was delighted and with every second her feelings for him continued increasing. She thought that they are now a perfect couple and it's time to bring a child. That's why she asked for a child from him. The thought of getting a job is now out of her mind because her every thought revolves around Mikaeel.

Though Mikaeel refused to have a child with her, she doesn't know that Almighty has stored a twisted destiny for her. She will have his child for sure but would the child be from her womb?

'I want to go shopping with you'

She texted and I replied nodding my head," take Ziya or Miraz's wife with you"

" Fine. Don't try to sleep with me today," she threatened and I sent her some kissing emojis but she didn't respond.

My little wife. It's not so hard to convince her you know. A few comforting words, one or two dozens of kisses and she will be alright. She is so emotional & lovesick which I love the most about her. She loves me a lot. Maybe more than Maryam.

Truth to be told her behaviours have affected me as well and unknowingly my attitudes got changed. It's not like she did something special to change me, her attractive personality changed me a lot. Yes, I am still that arrogant and selfish man but I don't know when it comes to her I can't be selfish anymore.

Most importantly, her love and affection managed to erase a lot of Maryam's memory in me. Of course, Maryam will always keep occupying a special place in my heart but my wifey has captured both my mind and heart.

" Sir.......Sir.......Sir," I heard my PA calling me and that's when I returned from my wife's thoughts.

I raised my brows when he started saying forwarding a file to me," Sir, it's a deal from 'Al Shamsi industries'. It's a Dubai based multinational company and recently they have taken interest to invest in Pakistan. They want to open a branch here and for that, they need one of the local company's support."

" I see," I replied shortly after reading the file about this Dubai based company.

He continued informing me," They have offered to share 40% of their profit with us if we agree to work with them."

" 40%? That's huge. Don't you think it's a little suspicious? 60% profit is a great loss for any multinational company and why would they do it knowingly?" I asked suspiciously.

After discussing with him and all the board members finally I decided to do business with Al Shamsi industries.

Taking the pen in my hand I will just sign the paper when a name caught my attention. I frowned upon my brows confusingly and felt like I have read this name somewhere else.

" Yardan Al Shamsi," I mumbled confusingly when my PA responded," He is the chairman of Al Shamsi industries."

" Oh," I let out shortly when he questioned," Any problem?"

" No. Anyway, arrange a meeting with Mr Shamsi. I will meet him after returning from The Maldives," I replied and didn't pay that much attention to this name.

A man in his late 40s is lying on a king-sized bed inside a large bedroom. There were multiple medical types of equipment in the whole room. A white blanket was covering his body and there was no movement in him. His eyes were closed, his hair was messy, an oxygen mask was attached to his nose and a cannula was attached to his hand.

He wasn't alone in this room. A nurse was here and monitoring his heart rate and other stuff. The nurse was doing her job when Maryam entered the room.

She signalled the nurse with her eyes to leave the room which the nurse obliged without any argument. No sooner had the nurse left than Maryam shut the door with a loud sound.

Taking calculative moves she walked toward the man while dragging a chair with her. Placing it beside the bed she sat down on it crossing her legs. Gazing at his whole body she let out a sarcastic chuckle.

" Mr Yardan Al Shamshi, I told you that Karma is a bitch," She said trailing one of her fingers on his face.

Moving close to his ear, she whispered smirking," Your death is very near, you know. If I want then I can kill you right now. But, I won't. Let you suffer for a few more days. Moreover, I feel good seeing you lying on the bed like a corpse."

" 10 years, Mr Shamshi. 10 years. You have ruined 10 years of my life. But, not anymore. I am going to return where I belong. In my Mikaeel's embrace," she shouted laughing like a madwoman.

Leaning very close to his face she mumbled," Have a nice death."

After that, she stood up and started laughing without any reason. Her eyes roamed in the whole room and her facial expression changed instantly. Tears threatened to fall from her eyes but she didn't let them. Rubbing her eyes she made a neutral expression and came outside the room.

Shutting the door, she turned behind and found a 12-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl standing in front of her. Their innocent faces were so gloomy like anytime they will start crying.

"(mama, alkhadimat kun yuqiln 'iinak dhahibat 'iilaa makan ma?) Mamma, the maids were saying that you are going somewhere?"The boy asked holding Maryam's hands.

Hugging her waist tightly the girl requested crying,"(la tatrukuna ya 'umi. la astutie aleaysh bidunk. raja'an) Don't leave us, mamma. I can't live without you. Please."

"(aghliq famak watawaqaf ean mulamasati , 'ayuha alealaq alqadhir)

Shut the fuck up and stop touching me, you filthy leeches," Shouting harshly Maryam pushed them away from her and they fell on the ground.

Both of them looked at her with teary eyes when she yelled," (la tadeuni maman maratan 'ukhraa. 'ana last walidatak)Don't call me Mamma again. I am not your mother."

Saying that she forwarded her legs to leave the place giving them another disgusting glare. The boy helped her sister to stand up and wiped away her tears with his tiny hands. Hiding his sister inside his chest he started hiccupping while staring at his mother's retreating figure.

"(limadha mama tahrasna alan? lam takun kadhalika. kanat tuhibuna)Why mamma hates us now? She wasn't like that. She used to love us," The girl questioned wetting his shirt with tears.

The boy mumbled crying,"(la 'aerif)I don't know."
