Chapter 39: Chapter 39

THIRD PERSON'S POV :

Rabiya was working on her college assignment sitting on the sofa and Maaz was trying to sleep laying on the bed but sleep was not consuming him. After turning his sides many times he realised what he need.

"Rabiya..., come yaar I'm feeling sleepy." Maaz summoned Rabiya while yawning

"Maaz you sleep, I have to complete my presentation," Rabiya informed him while making an unpleasant face. Maaz was surprised at her tired face because she always being energetic in every situation

"Are you tired?" Maaz asked while sitting up on the bed

"Maaz I... I'm not feeling well" Rabiya said while holding her head with both of her hands.

"Why, What happened??" getting up from the bed he moved towards her and sat beside her on the sofa, she was working on Maaz's laptop

"I'm feeling sleepy, and my head is busting due to ache I can't focus on my work," Rabiya informed him while massaging her nape.

"When do you have to submit it?" Maaz asked while turning the laptop to his side.

"Tomorrow!!" Rabiya informed him while leaning her back to back support.

"How much work is left?" Maaz asked while examining her presentation on the laptop.

"I'm in halfway, and honestly speaking I'm not good in all these presentations" Rabiya informed Maaz with a pout

"Yeah, I can see that you are not good with the presentation," He said while letting out a gasp

"Rabiya your presentation is not presentable at all. Will you show this type of thing in front of the whole class and teachers?" Maaz said in a scolding way like a teacher.

"But my researches and details are very well," Rabiya said meekly in her defence

"I agree that you did a good job but your presentation should be attractive, let me show you how to do this" Placing the laptop in his lap Maaz started doing her work. And she was just sitting beside him resting her head on his shoulder

Maaz took only half an hour to complete the presentation, as he used to make presentations for his work.

"Soo. How it is?" Maaz asked  Rabiya after showing the work.

"Great!! Thank you" Rabiya said slowly while looking at him with lots of love in her eyes.

"You are the wife of a software engineer, your presentation should be eye-catching. What will people say if they found your presentation unsighted?" Maaz said with a chuckle and said the last part dramatically putting his arm on Rabiya's shoulder

"First of all my work wasn't that much unsighted and secondly No one knows that I'm the wife of a software engineer. Even no one knows that I'm married." Taking the laptop from him she said with a grin and started examining the presentation

"Why?" furrowed his brows he asked

"Because I haven't tell anyone!" Rabiya said without glancing at Maaz, her eyes were fixed on the laptop. She said normally as that wasn't a big deal but Maaz didn't like that he felt disappointed and the reason was unknown to himself

"Why you haven't tell anyone that you are married" pulling back his arm from her shoulder he asked with disappointment.

"None of them asked if am I married or not, so I didn't inform them. And I don't like to share my personal life with anyone." Rabiya informed him.

"But that is not that much personal that you have to hide it." She was shocked by Maaz's words.

"woohoo Maaz I'm not hiding that, but we never discussed about our relationship status soo..." looking at him she said with a cute dramatic pout

"I'll introduce you to all my friends, but only when you come to pick me from college," She said with lots of hope in her eyes looking at him Maaz smiled and kissed her forehead which leads the way to a beautiful smile on her face.

It's being one month but Maaz never went to drop or pick her from the college except for the very first day.

"By the way, I also don't like to discuss my personal life in my office" Maaz informed Rabiya

"I'm feeling sleepy please shut it down." After stretching his body Maaz said pointing towards the laptop and Rabiya did the same.

"Thank you again," Rabiya said in the half-sleeping state when they both were laying in each other's embrace waiting for slumber to consume them.

"You're always welcome" in the same half sleepy state Maaz replied and didn't knew when they both entered the land of Nod... But their sleep was short-lived because after some time Rabiya's mobile phone started ringing.

"Maaazz... your mobile is ringing" Rabiya mumbled after shaking him, and closed her eyes again.

"it's not mine but yours," Maaz said in a half-sleeping state and Rabiya got that

"Hello" without looking at the caller I'd she said with closed eyes, but still hiding in Maaz's arms.

"Hello, Rabiya...." The voice from the other side made Rabiya startled as that was a masculine one. Suddenly Opening their eyes she looked at the caller name which was showing Ayaan, then she glanced at the time, which was 12:26 AM

"Sorry to disturb you at this time, but I have to ask something," Ayaan said meekly

"Rabiya who is calling this late?" Maaz mumbled without opening his eyes

"My classmate" She replied and again focus on the call, her sleep was gone.

"Hmm, Ayaan ask!!" She replied but her gaze was fixed on Maaz whose hair was falling on his forehead and she was brushing them off with her fragile fingers.

"What was the topic of your presentation?" He asked meekly

"Egyptian art and architecture. But why are you asking?" Rabiya informed Ayaan but she asked the last part as she didn't get the reason behind his question

"Have you complete your presentation?" He again asked

"Why are you asking all these useless questions at this time?" After turning her side, Settling herself in his arms she asked with frustration but she sniggered when Maaz nuzzled his nose on her nape as she felt tickled, then he planted a kiss on her nape which made her heart skipped a beat she bit her lower lip

"Woh.. actually I was working on presentation but I have some confusions so I thought you must know about that" Ayaan said but Rabiya wasn't concentrating on hearing because till then Maaz's slumber was also gone and he was playing with Rabiya's hair by running his fingers in her scalp.

"What confusion?" trying to focus on call she asked and this time Maaz squeezed her against his chest. Her back was sticking with his broad chest, and his arms were enveloping her tightly.

"If you don't mind can I...." Ayaan was saying something when Maaz snatched the mobile from Rabiya's hand and hanged up the call.

"Who was that chickenshit??" placing the mobile phone near the pillow Maaz asked with disappointment, and Rabiya turned her side, now both were facing each other.

"Ayaan, my friend, he had some problem with the assignment so..." again closing her eyes she informed him but Maaz didn't want to sleep

"Rabiya you didn't thank me," Maaz said playfully and Rabiya opened her eyes.

"I did," Rabiya said with confusion but Maaz shook his head and pointed towards his cheek with his finger, he wanted a kiss as a gift, but Rabiya never kissed him except once.

"Ohh... So you want me to thank in that way!!" planting a light slap on his cheek she said with a chuckle and maaz was surprised.

''You will get punishment for this" saying that he leaned down to her lips and Rabiya closed her eyes to enjoy the movement of his plumpy lips on hers, Maaz captured her lips in his for a jiffy but Rabiya's mobile started ringing again.

"What the Bloody Hell is this, I'll kill this damn guy." sitting up on the bed he said angrily

"Son of a b*tch

Bastard

wretch

Rascal" saying this in a single breath he was going to receive the call but Rabiya disconnected the call after snatching the phone from his hand, as she knew that if Maaz received the call he would shower thousands of slangs on Ayaan in a single breath.

"What's the problem with this pesky guy?" Maaz yelled, Rabiya was just watching his expressions, but she was also feeling bad

"Spoiled the whole mood" mumbling the same he lay down on the bed facing opposite to Rabiya.

"Maaz" Whispering his name she held his arm but he jerked that.

'Go to hell..., have I said to him to call me in the middle of the night' Thinking this angrily Rabiya dropped the mobile on the pillow and closed her eyes after maintaining some distance between both of them.

"Asshole spoilt the whole moment" Maaz mumbled and hide his face with the pillow but his heart was still cursing Ayaan.

===========

Next morning:

"Maaz will you...." Rabiya was saying something on the breakfast table but without paying attention to her he made himself stand with a jerk and moved towards the exit. He was showing his cold behaviour since last night.

"What happened to him?" Asma asked Rabiya and Rabiya shrugged her shoulders.

She went after him and held his arm, he stopped in the middle of the way and turned to her.

"I want to thank you," she said mischievously, and Maaz smiled but he suddenly masked that with his fake anger.

"Why?" Showing his angry side he asked and Rabiya looked here and there no one was there as everyone was sitting in the dining room having their breakfast.

"Because my hubby did my assignment" Saying that she planted a kiss on his cheek, he smiled and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Go now, we both are getting late" Rabiya said and pushed him, he moved towards his car with a smile.

"Let's play something," Ruby said happily, and everyone nodded.

"Ayaan why were you calling in the middle of the night?" Rabiya asked and Everyone looked at Ayaan with surprised expressions

"I had some confusions about my presentation soo.., but you disconnected my call," Ayaan said to Rabiya

"I was in slumber.." She meekly said and again concentrate on Ruby

"Let's play dumb charades" Aaliya suggest

Everyone put their demands and finally, Rapid fire was selected by everyone.

"so let's begin with Ayaan," Jatin said and everyone nodded.

"Spin the bottle and let it decide," Ayaan said and everyone agreed, the bottle was spun and it pointed towards Rabiya.

Everyone started asking questions one by one

"Shayaan bhai"

"Which hero is this?'' Ayaan and Taniya asked together

"He is my hero, my elder brother" Rabiya replied proudly

"What are you doing? Don't spoil the game" Ruby scolded everyone and the game begins again

"Rabiya ready?" Jatin asked and she nodded this time the question was really rapid, Rabiya would go to face breathlessness

"What's your favourite thing in your closet right now?"

"My mobile"

" What's your favourite movie ever?"

"Lord of the Rings 3"

"Describe your teenager in 3 words"

"Study, mummy's scolds but enjoyment"

"What's in your handbag right now?" Aaliya asked mischievously and Rabiya make an unpleasant face but with a smile, she tackled the situation

"Chocolate, mobile, pen, hand sanitiser, my wallet handkerchief. I think it's enough" Rabiya said rapidly while thinking and said the last part after taking a break

"your pet dialogue?

"Go to hell" She replied with a chuckle

Everyone was amazed at the quick response of Rabiya, she was not taking a single jiffy to answer, her friends were facing problems to think questions but she was firing the answer without any delay.

"Your favourite TV show?"

"No one"

"Love," Ayaan asked

"Mr Kha...." going along with the trail she didn't realise when she was going to say Mr Khadoos. But she stopped in between

Everyone was looking at her with amazement.

"You lose..." Aaliya, Ruby and Jatin shout out and but Rabiya smiled.

'Mr. Khadoos, I lose because of you. First I lose my heart for you and now this game' Rabiya said to Maaz in her heart while imagining him in front of her.

"Are you in love?" Taniya asked with wide-eyed

"By the way. Who is this Mr Khaa...?" Aaliya asked teasingly

'He is My handsome khadoos, my hubby' Rabiya said to herself but didn't tell anyone about Maaz.

"Tell yaar," Ruby said excitedly

'Should I tell? Or not?

He is my husband, not my boyfriend, so no need to hide' after discussing this with her own mind she decided to tell her friends about Maaz.

"He is..." before she could say something she faced a flood of questions

"Is he handsome" Rabiya nodded with ear to ear grin in response to Taniya's question

"Is this a single-sided love or he also loves you?" Ruby asked and This time Rabiya glared at her.

"Did he told that he also loves you?"

"Who is he?"

"Shut up you all, I decided to tell you about him but now I'm not telling you anything," Rabiya said loudly with a disappointed look

"Please Rabiya..." Rabiya was busy with Ruby, Aaliya and Taniya. Jatin left from there because he had to go to the library, but there was a face who was smiling with satisfaction.

That was Ayaan. His full name was Ayaan Khan and some of his friends use to call him Mr.khan

'She said Mr Khaa.., does she also like me? Like I do like her?' Ayaan's mind was not leaving this though as his face was not leaving the smile.

"Okay... Okay.." He came out of his scenario when Rabiya's voice hit his eardrum.

"I'm not going to tell you anything..." Rabiya was saying something but her sentence was cut off in between by her friends

"That's not good Rabiya "

"We are your friends," Taniya and Aaliya said in a disappointed tone

"Waitt... Let me complete my words" Rabiya yelled with a smile.

"I'm not telling you anything about him, but I'll introduce his face to face after some days," Rabiya said to her friends while getting up from her place.

Girls smiled and nodded but Ayaan's gaze was fixed on her. Rabiya turned to go from there

"Rabiya.." Ayaan's voice rang in her ears and she turned to look at him

"Yeah!!"

"I'm waiting to meet your Mr KHA.." Ayaan said with a smile while combing his hair with his fingers.

"Sure... Even I like to introduce him to you. I can't imagine what will happen when you meet My Mr..." Rabiya said after a chuckle as she was thinking that Maaz would give him a couple of abuse words for ruining their moment.

"I'm waiting" saying with a smile He also got up from his place. Both Rabiya and Ayaan walked away from there with smiles on their faces

"Rubyyy..., is Ayaan khan Rabiya's Mr Kha..?" Taniya asked with widening eyes after thinking for some time.

"Are you out of your mind? She even didn't talk much with him!" Aaliya said in defence of Rabiya.

"Didn't you notice the shine of Ayaan's eyes and face when he was talking to Rabiya!!" Taniya said and Rubby nodded but Aaliya didn't believe in the same.

"And why Ayaan was calling her in the middle of the night?" Ruby said in support of thoughts

"I think they both like each other, but not showing their feelings," Ruby said and Taniya nodded but Aaliye smacked her forehead

"I don't think so," Aaliya said.
