Chapter 70: Chapter 70
THIRD PERSON'S POV:
Ringing of mobile disturb her sleep and she open her eyes with difficulty.
"Hmm. Hello"
"Rabiya you are still sleeping?"
"who is this?" she asked in deep sleep and tried to open her eyes but couldn't. Maaz was still sleeping beside him, holding her tightly, both were sharing same pillow, her face was hidden in his chest.
"It's your mother"
"which mother?" Rabiya mumbled in deep sleep
"Mr Faiz Ahmad, What your daughter is saying? How many wives you have?" Tabassum asked to Her husband.
"Dear till now you are my only wife, I didn't get guts to think about anyone else after you." Faiz said with a small chuckle, and Tabassum jerked her head, on that.
"Rabiya do you have some idea about time? It's 10 AM wake up now and listen to me carefully." Tabassum said with disappointment.
"Maaz.... Maazzzzzz... Wakeup.. See someone is saying to wake up" Mumbling the same in deep sleep Rabiya pulled the blanket on her face and slept again, her mobile was still placed in her ear which she was holding with one hand .
Tabassum smacked her forehead when listen Rabiya's mumble and hung up the call, as she understood Rabiya was not going to wake up easily.
Rabiya and Maaz both spent whole night in gazing sky and talking to each other so they slept very late, almost at the time of sunrise so they both were sleeping for late.
After some one more hour after all Rabiya realised that she also had to wake up. Opening her eyes she pulled her arms back from Maaz's frame and tried to moved back but couldn't due to Maaz's grip around her waist
"Maaz wake up" she shook his shoulder but Maaz was still sleeping.
"Maaaaazzzz..."
"Maaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" She almost yelled on his ear and he opened his eyes
"What?" He asked angrily.
"Wake up na.."
"Biya let me sleep for more ten minutes" saying that he again closed his eyes but Rabiya smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Please wakeup" encircling her arms around his neck she said with a happy tone And hugged him again.
"Lemme sleep Biya" He again mumbled in deep sleep and embraced her in his arms more firmly than before. "Maaz we have to go on beach" Rabiya whispered while playing with his hair and he hummed in slumber.
"Maazzzz.. Pleaseeeee"
"Hmm.. Okay, we will go, but sleep now" Rabiya huffed but Maaz squeezed her in his muscular arms while nuzzling in her neck in no time he was again sleeping.
'This man is extraordinary, I never thought that I would love someone this much that I am loving him. I love his every aspect, even his laziness too' Rabiya's heart said with proud feeling and she adjusted herself in his embrace, she kissed his cheek once again and closed her eyes, after covering both of them in blanket. She wasn't feeling sleepy, as that was 11 of morning but in her husband's arms she didn't realise when she was consumed by the slumber again.
==============
AFTERNOON.....
Afterall Maaz and Rabiya woke up.
"Maaz" She mumbled while resting her head on his chest and he caressed her hair.
"Hmm.. Biya"
"Why are you so much lazy?" She asked in muttering voice and Maaz chucked.
"Feel like we are on our honeymoon, so I can be lazy!" Maaz said with a chuckle and Rabiya lifted her head from his chest, then Maaz stopped to caress her head.
"Mr. Khadoos, does anyone could even think to be lazy on honeymoon?" Rabiya asked while rolling her eyes
"Ohh... Something like this... Then what should one be like on the honeymoon?" Maaz asked acting like a naive but his actions weren't like a naive, he wrapped his both arms around her waist and pulled Rabiya with both arms.
"Hmm.. Answer..." He whispered.
"one should be cute and caring" Rabiya said without looking at him, she was playing with the button of his shirt
"Caring and cute!! That too on honeymoon" Maaz asked just to confirm and she smiled then nodded, still playing with his button
"And what should be other thing?" Maaz keep asking and Rabiya keep saying weired things like, cute, good looking and what not of her useless babbling
"And what about romantic?" He asked and Rabiya tried to stopped herself to show him her smile but couldn't stop herself.
"Yes.. One should be romentic on honeymoon but my Mr. Khadoos is already over-romentic, no matter on honeymoon or off honeymoon." Rabiya rolled her eyes and he kissed the tip of her nose.
"What can I do when my wife is so beautiful and cute looking" He made her blush with a simple cheesie dialogue.
"Now get ready, it's afternoon" Rabiya said while getting up from her position but Maaz held her wrist and pulled her back.
"You don't have some time for me? I'm still sleepy but see I'm talking to you instead of sleeping" Maaz said with a disappointing way and Rabiya looked at him with dropped Jaws.
"Maaz we already over slept, even my head is paining and I'm feeling dizzy, due to oversleeping." Rabiya said and Maaz leaned to kiss her lips but stopped by the ringing mobile. He sighed and gave her mobile fron the other corner of pillow
"it's mummy's call" Rabiya muttered and sat down on bed while receiving the call and Maaz also sat down, hugging her from behind, on which she smiled but rolled her eyes.
"Yeah mummy?"
"Thankfully you are wakeup.." Tabassum mumbled and Rabiya smiled sheepishly.
"How are you mummy and, what about papa, bhai and bhabhi?" Rabiya asked and Maaz bite her neck.
"Aauch.." she suddenly emitted a short but painful squall, and rubbed the part of her neck while glaring Maaz, but he was smiling like a winner.
"What happened Rabiya?" Tabassum asked suddenly
"N.. Nothing.. Nothing happened.. Just a mosquito bite on my neck" Rabiya informed but Maaz got a slap on his arm by her but he wrapped his both arms around her waist and nuzzled in her neck on which she made a cute pout, and made a face cry face on the torture of her husband.
"It's okay.. Why are you screaming if a mosquito bites you, it's not a big deal" Tabassum said as if she was trying to made her daughter understand
"You don't know mummy... This mosquito is making me irritate since many hours" Rabiya said while glaring Maaz but he smirked and pulled her to his lap, but the sudden pull made Rabiya dizzy again.
"Maazzzzz pleaseee" She yelled loudly
"What happened"
"Rabiya are you alright?"
Tabassum and Maaz both asked in unison and Rabiya held her head with one hand but she was holding the mobile with other hand
"Hmm, I'm fine but I'm feeling dizzy" Rabiya said while looking up at Maaz who felt bad for her and embraced her protectively.
''Dizzy... Are you alright? " Tabassum asked and Rabiya hummed carelessly
"Are you feeling weakness and nauseate too" Tabassum asked and Rabiya nodded.
"Yes mummy.. Actually not weakness, but I'm feeling tired" Rabiya informed her mother
"Rabiyaaaa..." That was Tabassum's excited but low voice.
''Hmm mummy "
"Am I going to become Nani (material grandmother)?" She asked in excitement filled voice and Rabiya's eyes became wide, she looked at Maaz and he slowly nod his head to ask what happened.
"No mummyyyyy... Nothing like that.. You aren't going to become Nani" Rabiya said suddenly and Maaz chuckled lightly
"Then why are you feeling, dizzy, tired and nauseate?" Tabassum asked to confirm
"Mummy, I overslept that's why I am dizzy, Maaz is not taking me anywhere with himself and I'm feeling bore that's why I'm tired and now if it comes to nauseate, then yesterday I ate lot of chaat and pav bhaji, and you know well I happens to me if I eat these items in more quantity" Rabiya informed and Tabassum sighed
"Rabiya When will you give me that news..." Tabassum asked in defeated voice and Rabiya smiled shyly.
"I... I don't know mummy" she said meekly and after a short conversation Rabiya hanged up the call
"What was aunty saying my jaanu?'' Maaz asked and Rabiya grinned softly.
" She was asking if I.. I'm.. Pregnant because I'm feeling dizzy and nauseate" Rabiya informed and Maaz chuckled.
"Say to aunty that we aren't planning now to make her Nani, for atlaest next two years." Maaz said and She with slightly lower gaze and nodded her head.
"For few years let me enjoy with my Biya, am I right?" He asked and she rolled her eyes.
"shut up Maaz" She hit on his chest with her palm and he chuckled while pulling her in his embrace again.
"My Mr. Romentic khadoos, I'm going to take bath, we don't have time to enjoy, today is Raahim bhai's engagement." Saying that Rabiya stepped out from the soft and cozy bed of hotel bed but not before kissing his cheek he smiled and again throw himself on pillow while closing his eyes.
"How much this man sleeps." Rabiya muttered irritatedly while stepping in the bathroom
====================
Raahim was on ninth cloud as that was his engagement day. He was happy, excited and just wanted to do dance like mads but stopping himself to become a reason of Mockery.
"Raahim bhai I have talked to Alisha, she is wearing peach colored lenhga with black work on that" Rabiya said to him and he smiled showing his teeth.
"Thanks bhabhi, you are great, now tell me what should I wear?" Raahim said with a very big grin and Rabiya smacked her forehead.
"Raahim bhai even Shayaan bhai wasn't so much excited for his engagement And marriage as much you are.." Rabiya said while rolling her eyes and he smiled sheepishly. But Rabiya advised him to wear black pathani suit with peach coloured waist coat on which he got agreed.
Rabiya made her way to the other room of lavish hotel where her husband was sitting on sofa doing something in his laptop, she sats beside him and gaze at the screen, Maaz was working on some of his office project
"Maaz aren't you on leave?" She asked and he nodded.
"Yes I'm, but for now I have to complete my work, these projects are very important for our company and they can't trust anyone else besides me regarding this" Maaz said without taking off his eyes fron the laptop screen
"Okay, do your work. I'm going to Ammi and baba's room, Umema bhabhi is also there" Maaz nodded without looking at her and Rabiya smiled.
'All the time he is full of romance but at the time of his work he is determined to his work.' Rabiya said to her heart and leaning towards him kissed his cheek, he suddenly looked up and smiled lightly before again bowing his head down to his laptop.
==================
"How I'm looking" Maaz asked confidently.
"You are looking this much handsome that I can proudly introduce you to anyone as my husband" Rabiya replied and Maaz chuckled.
"my dear wife... You know the way to take away my heart" He said dramatically and Rabiya smiled.
"How I'm looking?" She asked and Maaz just kissed her forehead.
"Just perfect" She smiled happily and both held each others hand before going out.
======================
"You are looking beautiful"
"Thanks" She mumbled with half smile.
"Alisha, are you ready?" Someone came in the room and asked but she the was lost somewhere
"Alisha..."
"Alisha"
"Hmm" she came out from her world of thoughts when Alishba (her sister) shook her shoulder.
"Where are you lost Alisha?" Alishba (Alisha's sister) asked and she fake a smile.
"Nowhere"
"Are you nervous?" Alishba asked and Alisha shook her head
"No, Aapi why would I?" Saying that she smiled but a fake one, and ordered a girl to change the shade of her lipstick.
"They people have arrived" Alisha's cousin brother came upstairs and said with happiness and joy anyone could see you happy he was his sister's engagement.
"You all go downstairs I'll join you later after sometime." Alishba (Alisha's sister) said to the gathering of cousins and some friends, they all one by one left the room, and in the end Both the sisters were alone in the room.
"Now what's wrong Alisha?"
"Nothing aapi" Alisha replied meekly but a blind man could also see the situation of her face.
"Sir here" She obeyed her sister and sat down on the bed, her sister sat down beside her holding her hand
"Alisha don't worry, Raahim is a nice guy" Alishba Assured her and She pressed her lips together while taking a long breath.
"Yeah.. Raahim is a nice guy... Maybe or maybe not" Alisha Mumbled and Alishba smiled and held her chin.
"Alisha this isn't new about you, you always feels nervous, either before college function, before your exams or before doing anything for the first time." Alishba said while kissing Alisha's forehead and she smiled
Again a fake one
"You were behaving in the same way when you had to go to meet Raahim, don't do this Alisha" She nodded without any expressions on her face and Alishba set her dupatta on her head.
"Alishba, Guests are waiting for Ring ceremony. Take Alisha downstairs" someone said after a knock and Alisha took a deep breath.
"Smile na.. Raahim is handsome, isn't he." Alishba said mischievously and Alisha nodded and a smile unknowingly creaped to her face,
which was a real smile...
Raahim's POV:
I was impatiently waiting to reach to the venue, but before we could left the hotel, we got a call from Rabiya bhabhi's parents that they aren't coming to attend the engagement, but they will arrive before the wedding. In that conversation Baba wasted my twenty three minutes and fifty eight seconds. As soon as he hanged up the call I stepped towards Our Romeo..
Ehhh... Obviously not my Romeo, Rabiya bhabhi's Romeo...
"Now why we are wasting time here?" I asked to Rabiya bhabhi and Maaz bhai and they both looked at each other.
"Maaz why he is so impatient?" Rabiya bhabhi asked and he smirked.
"Some questions are better to be unanswered" He mocked and I glared him.
"Abdullah bhai, were you also like him?" Rabiya bhabhi asked and he narrowed his eyes then nodded looking at His wife, and I felt like I was lucky to have a company
"So it means among you three brothers only Maaz was rude towards his wife." Rabiya bhabhi rolled her eyes and we all chuckled, Ammi and Baba were still busy in talking to someone else on call.
"This is the biggest problem of wives.. They always beat the dead horse" Maaz bhai mumbled and Rabiya bhabhi giggled.
"Its our right! Isn't it Umema bhabhi?" both the ladies chuckled and I wanted to hit my head on the nearest wall but stopped myself...
Dude. How could I hit my head on the wall that too on my own engagement day?!
"Bhaiyon or bhabhiyon... Meri engagement aaj hi hai.. Kab challenge?"
(Brothers and sisters-in-law my engagement is today.. When we will go?)
I asked and everyone huffed but luckily my hero..
My Abdullah bhai talked to baba and they luckily steeped out from the hotel.
====================
My eyes were ready to came out fron the sockets when I saw my soon to be wife, coming towards the stage, she was looking like a fairy. I smirked in my thoughts when remembered about the girl whom I proposed in my college time, but she refused. I have to admit that she was very beautiful, shy, sober, introvert and her hair... Her hair were just like the dark night, but when I looked at Alisha I forgot about her.
She was taking steps slowly towards me and with every passing step my heart was beating faster than before, finally the moment came when she sat down besides me and I turned my head towards her.
"How are you?" I asked and she looked at me, for a jiffy she smiled but suddenly bowed her head down and and I smiled as she was shying.
Yes... I wanted a girl who must be shy, not babbled
I smiled wildly, but only in my thoughts. Then the time of ring exchange came and I smiled. Her sister whispered something in her ear and she nodded slowly before holding her hand towards me. Smilingly I held her hand with my left hand and took the ring in my right hand, which Umema bhabhi passed me. I slowly slipped the ring in her ring finger and try to examine her face but there weren't any expressions. She was not even smiling.
I was expecting that she would looked at me, but she didn't smile, her gaze was never leaving the sight of floor, as if I was sitting there. I left her hand and that suddenly dropped off as she was lost somewhere and didn't realised when did I made her wore the ring and when did I left her hand, she gasped slowly and suddenly pulled her hand.
Then it was my turn, I held my hand in front of her, with small space between my each finger and she looked at me without any smile or happiness in her face. She held the ring in between the tips of her thumb and first finger. Then slowly glided in my ring finger, totally carefully that she couldn't touch my hand by any chance.
That was strange for me...
'Is she being forced to do that Marriage?'
My smile and happiness both flew away with that thought, If she was being forced then I won't marry her.
After the ring ceremony and photo session we both were sitting beside each other, taking an awkward silence in between us.
"I wanna talk to you" I whispered in her ear. And she lifted her head.
"Yeah.. I'm listening" she replied
"Not here, some other place where we both will be alone" I whispered in her ear and stay silent for a good two minutes.
"Okay" she said in hushed tone and said something to a girl who were standing near her, she was maybe her friend or some cousin sister
After some ten minutes, we both were in the lawn of her home.. Her home was lavish, but the most attractive part of the home was the pond which was built on the back side of house, with numerous of fish and the lawn was just like a floral garden. She sat down on the swinging sofa and I sat besides her maintaining some distance between both of us.
"I wanna ask you something" I said and she silently nodded
"Are you happy with this marriage or someone is forcing you to do so?" I asked and she shook her head.
"I'm happy!" Her answer didn't match her expressions.
"Why are you doing this marriage?" I asked
"Because my parents saying me to do so"
"Saying or forcing?" I asked and she sighed
"Umm... Kinda forcing.." She muttered
"If you have some problem with this marriage then I won't do this. I don't want to marry a girl forcefully." I said seriously and she keep watching me for a long moment and I couldn't stop my grin to come on my lips.
"I'm happy" She muttered and I smiled more.
"Sure?" I asked and she nodded with lower gaze but she smiled, taking my heart away from my chest. I slowly out my hand towards her and held her hand, for a second she was shocked but suddenly she smiled looking at me and I also smiled while intertwinding my fingers with hers.
She was very shy and nervous, I never met any other girl like her who was being so much shy.
"You are beautiful" I compliment and her smile vanished, I was surprised by that then I looked at her back, her coffee brown hair were going down to her hips. Her head was covered with net vail so her hair were fully visible.
I wanted to marry a girl who must have long hair and Alisha's hair were beautiful, only I knew how badly I wanted to run my fingers in her hair but I stopped myself because she was nervous and shy too.
But I had to stop her to being nervous around me.
"Are you nervous?" I asked and she shook her head
"Alisha you are nervous!" I stressed and she nodded silently
"Don't be nervous yaar, let me tell you a secret I said and she nodded slowly.
"I'm also nervous" I state and she chuckled and with shaking head.
"You aren't looking like the one"
"Actually it's my first time marriage, so I don't know what and how to overcome the nervousness" I said in funny way and She again laughed
"You are saying as if do Marriage every next month" Finally she started to saying something and we both laughed but out moment was ruined by Someone.
A girl came to summon us and we both nodded, we went go the stage, but this time, I didn't let her hand go from mine.
