Chapter 76: Chapter 76

Sun rays were coming in the room from the door of balcony, he stretched his body and moved to the door then shut that before securing the slumber of his wife by drawing the curtains.

Rubbing his eyes he moved downstairs and found no one in the hall or dining area but he moved to the kitchen where cooks and Maids were making breakfast.

"Make two coffees" He ordered and one maid nodded

"Sir with sugar or without?" maid asked and he yawn

"With sugar" He ordered and in no time maid made coffee.

"Give this to me" He said and took the tray from maid, before going to the room.

"Good morning my lazy potato!" grabbing the duvet he said and pull that slowly.

"Lemme sleep" she mumbled

"My lazy wify" He whispered and she turned towards him with half closed eyes.

"Am I dreaming?" she asked to herself and again closed her eyes

"No you aren't"

"No its a dream, how can you wake up before me?" She mumbled and Maaz pulled her cheek which suddenly pulled her out from her slumber.

"Maaaaaaaazzzzzz" she yelled with frustration.

"See, coffee for you" lifting the mugs he show that and she made a pout and rubbed her cheek.

"Coffee.. For me!" blinking her eyes she mumbled and he nodded.

"Are you alright? I can't believe, how do you get that much love on me that you have make coffee for me!" taking the coffee from his hand she asked but he sighed

"Neither I have made this nor I'll make one for you ever." He said and Passed the mug to Her.

"Maaz lemme sleep na" Sayimh that she lay down again covering herself with duvet, but Maaz pulled the duvet from her face and asked "Don't you have to go college?"

"Hmm... I have to but I won't. I want to take rest today" she replied lazily.

"Come on wake up. No need to take one more day off, you are already on leave since fifteen days." Maaz said strictly and she open her one eye then close that to ignore his order.

"Biya..."

"Maaz why are you sounding just like mummy?" She asked and he smile

"wake up, I have to go office too" Sayimh that he sip his coffee and she lazily nodded.

"I don't wanna go college" She muttered like a kid of kindergarten.

"Silly girl." he muttered and finished his coffee very soon

================

"Biya listen" They they both were getting ready in dressing room he said and she just hummed in reply as she was busy in combing her hair.

"I have give honeymoon tickets to Raahim as his wedding gift" Maaz informed and Rabiya show her fake anger by a glare.

"Have you ever think about your one and only wife? Take me somewhere I also wanna go to a beautiful place!" Rabiya demanded and he raised his brow while picking the bottle of perfume

"We have just come back from Mumbai!" Maaz replied and she rolled her eyes.

"It's going to be two years of our marriage but you haven't plan a honeymoon trip, since long time you are saying to take me to New York but..."

"I'll take you... If not New York then at least I'll take you to Kashmir" He replied but she shook her head.

"I already have visited Kashmir many times, so I prefer New York!"

"Okay madam.. Only three more months are left of your degree then I'll take you to New York." he replied and she nodded with a smile.

"By the way I have to admit that I have get a khadoos but still good husband" She said happily making him smile too and picked the blazer to made him wear.

================

"Rabiya go and awake Alisha and Raahim" Asma ordered and she nodded leaving her breakfast in between but she didn't had to go anywhere because Raahim was already coming downstairs, his face was shouting that he wasn't happy, but tensed.

He was wearing his formals which was indigestable for everyone

"Where is Alisha?" Umema enquired but he silently pick the toast

"Baba today is meeting with YSF groups" Raahim said to his father and he nodded.

"Hmm.. I know" Waqaar replied with his manly voice, both father and son keep discussing about the deal while having breakfast.

"let's go!" Raahim said making himself stand and everyone shock.

"Where?" Maaz and Abdullah asked in unison

"Office! Where else?" Raahim replied while watching his mobile, he didn't even bother to glanced at anyone.

"I'll handle the meeting, you stay home" Waqaar told him while making himself stand. That wasn't easy for anyone to digest that Raahim who was dying to marry suddenly showing his interest in office instead of his wife.

"Baba I'll reach office little late, I have some work" saying that Raahim left from there giving a big shock to all of them present in dining hall.

"Ammi, baba I'm going, I'm getting late for college" Saying that Rabiya made herself stand and Maaz also follow the action of his pretty lady.

"Biya!"

"Yeah"

"I think Alisha has kicked off him from room" Maaz said to her when they both were going towards their respective car

"Shut up Maaz it's not funny! There is something wrong in between them, Raahim bhai is not happy and Alisha is still in her room" Rabiya replied seriously and Maaz rolled his eyes

"Don't worry about both of them, they will manage their matter" Saying that Maaz cupped her face with both hands and looked in her eyes for a long moment and gently kissed her forehead before moving back. She smiled but her happiness was not visible in her smile but in her eyes.

"Allah Hafiz, don't drive fast" She instructed and he nodded before hopping in his car. And Rabiya moved towards her car where driving was ready to drop her to college.

================

"If this is called Marriage then being unmarried was a better choice" Raahim mumbled and glance his watch which was showing lunch time.

"Sir, Waqaar sir has send this for you!" an employee come inside his cabin after a knock and handed over a file.

"Okay" he utter and placed the file on desk but didn't bother to open that.

He open the drawer on his desk and found a small box which was containing a small diamond ring which he bought for Alisha before going Mumbai. He wanted to made her wear he same but he was disappointed with her.

"If I would have idea that Alisha is this Type girl I would die but never marry her" He mutter while closing the drawer with a very loud thud.

Maybe the thud was this much loud which awake Alisha with a jolt. She looked here there and sat down on bed.

"Ohh yeah... Now I'm married!" She muttered after watching the decorations of room and rubbed her eyes two three times.

"Where Raahim has gone early in the morning?" She muttered unknown of the fact that she was sleeping till afternoon but after some more five minutes of stretching her body and yawning she stepped out of the bed, and looked towards room properly

"What!!" she almost yelled when her gaze went to wall clock which was showing 1:35 pm.

"How can I sleep like this?" Mumbling the same she scoot towards bathroom after taking her clothes.

"Ohh so after all newly wed decided to wake up!" Umema said with her teasing smile when she witnessed Alisha coming out from her room with cat steps.

"Umm.. Good morning.." She muttered with hesitation and Umema smile.

"Good afternoon" replied and Alisha smiled nervously. She was really nervous because she was in a very new place and different people and cherry in the cake she was waking up that much late

"Actually I slept late... And.. Don't realise..." Alisha was trying to justify herself with her nervous system but Umema smile again

"It's alright Alisha, We can understand. You must be tired" Umema smiled and Alisha also did so.

"Come with me" Saying so Umema lead the way to Alisha.

She was sitting in hall of home but her gaze was finding her husband who wasn't present there

"Do you need something?" Asma asked lovingly and She shook her head with a smile.

"Be comfortable it's your own home" Asma again said and Alisha nodded again but decided to break her silence.

"Aunty... I mean Ammi where is Raahim?" she asked and Asma informed her about the same.

She felt sad for what happened last night.

================

"Assalamualaikum Ammi.. Your daughter-in-law is back after getting victory in college, have you miss me?" Rabiya entered in with her polite but dramatic dialogues and Asma smiled, Rabiya sit down beside Asma on sofa. But Alisha was only watching their close bond.

"Waalaikumas Salam, yes I missed you, this home feels dull in your absence, I wish I would have a daughter just like you" Asma said with a genuine smile and Umema maid a pout.

"It's not fair Ammi, I'm also your daughter-in-law?" Umema complaint with her sake disappointed but Asma and Rabiya laughed. Rabiya went to her room for freshen up then again joined the ladies of family.

Alisha was silently witnessing the happy conversation between three of them and didn't realised when almost two hours passed, when a car horn hit Everyone's eardrum.

"Maaz is back" Rabiya mumbled and scoot towards kitchen.

"Bano, give me wa...!" Maaz yelled while throwing himself on sofa and loosing his tie, but his Biya was standing in front of him without even completing his sentence as usually

"Maaz sometimes I wonder what will happen if Bano won't be here to serve you water! Am I right?'' Rabiya asked with a smile but she was glaring her husband too.

"Yeah Biya, this is what always make me tensed too" Saying that Maaz placed the half empty glass on table and made his way towards stairs, but turned towards her.

"I have headache!" He announced.

"Take head massage from Bano" Saying that Rabiya made her way to kitchen to make coffee for Maaz, and Asma smack her forehead.

"These two and their dramatic acts" She mumbled.

"Alisha why are you silent?" Umema asked and she shook her head.

"I'm fine" she replied meekly, in the time being Umema went to check her daughters, and Asma also went to her room for some work. Alisha found herself alone so she went towards kitchen where Rabiya was beating coffee.

"Are you making coffee for Maaz bhai" Alisha asked and Rabiya nodded with a smile.

"I thought you are angry with him" Alisha said and Rabiya rolled her eyes.

"Its normal for us! It's not our anger but love" She replied and Alisha smiled sadly

"This is the benefit of love marriage! In Arranged Marriage we accept something else and it come out as something else." Alisha said and  Rabiya saw her with wide eyes.

"Are you seriously assuming our marriage as a love marriage?" Rabiya placed the mug on kitchen slab and Alisha nodded with confusion

"Yes"

"Our Marriage was forced marriage for Maaz and surprise marriage for me. Ask the whole story to Raahim bhai"

Alisha was surprised to listen that.

"Is there any problem in between you two?" Rabiya asked and Alisha shrugged.

" There isn't any problem but everything is a problem" Alisha stressed on Any and Rabiya nodded.

"I know it's your personal matter, I shouldn't poke my nose but... Raahim bhai is a kind hearted person, he was crazy for you before Marriage" Rabiya said with a smile and Alisha nodded

"When Raahim come back home?" Alisha asked and Rabiya looked at, clock

"He usually come back by now!" Alisha was angry as well as guilty which was reflecting on her face.

"Maybe you people will take some time to understand each other but don't worry everything will be fine" Saying that Rabiya focused on coffee while saying "Maaz must be waiting"

===============

Raahim went to his room after dinner, whole day he was out from home.

"Raahim" Alisha utter slowly, making herself stand in front of him.

"Alisha I'm very tired don't talk to me" He made his wat ti bed and lay down on his side facing opposite to her side.

"I haven't tolerate anyone's ignorance ever!" Alisha said angrily.

"So now use to of it" Raahim replied and switch off the lamp.

"I won't" She turn on the lamp.

"Then you may go!" Pointing out towards the door Raahim replied and again off the lamp.

"Are saying me to get out  of this room?" Alisha asked angrily while switching on the lamp.

"Yeah, do you need hearing aid?" Raahim passed a sarcasm and again switch off the lamp.

"You can't order me Mr. Raahim Waqaar, I'm not a typical indian wife who will follow your orders, it's my room too" Alisha bust on him after switching on the lamp.

"Ohh wow... For sharing this room you're my wife, but if I ask or say something to you then you're not a typical wife." Raahim said after sitting on bed with a jolt, and she jumped on her place due to that sudden action

"First your decide what you want! Then talk to me!" Saying with a glare Raahim lay down and Alisha glare him back but he was ignoring her.

"I have told my family that you're not this much nice that you're pretending but... Who cares! They were blindly believing on you.. And now I am stucked with you" Alisha said angrily while sitting on the bed and throw the pillow on mattress but it bounced and hit Raahim's face. He huffed and sat down while lifting the pillow to hit back her face but his hands were stopped in air when Alisha lightly screamed and closed her eyes. Raahim throw the pillow on floor with frustration and anger.

"You can open your eyes, no matter whatever you do, I won't hit you at least" He said in angry voice and she half open her left eyes. Then sat back with her arrogant expression and clear her throat as if she was very angry.

"Thankfully there is something appreciable in you" She rolled her eyes.

"And for your kind information, I wasn't pretending myself in front of your family, I'm the one who was being cheated by your" Raahim said and Alisha huffed before glaring him

"Will Mr. Raahim Waqaar tell me what kind of cheating I have donr with him" Alisha asked with her red angry face

"Yeah sure" saying that Raahim glare her and started

"I wanted a beautiful, silent, introvert, shy, innocent, sweet, polite and friendly natured wife with long hair and what I have get!! A highly babbled, talkative, combative, aggressive,bold and hot chilli type wife" Raahim said angrily and Alisha was just watching him with hang jaw, he glare him and huffed one more time before adding "with this chidiya ka ghosla (nest of crow)" lifting her very short and highly curly hair he said.

"Oh my God... Are you serious?" she asked controlling herself to laugh but in the end she burst in loud guffaw, Raahim was confused on her sudden mood change

"Do you have some mental problem? What is funny in this?" He ask with frustration.

"Are you sure you wanted to conduct this bride hunt on earth in the same time period! Because as much I know the manufacturing company for this type of girls was shut down before ten or maybe twenty years!" She laughed laudly placing her one hand on her mouth and other on belly, For a moment Raahim forget about his anger and a smile creeped to his lips after witnessing her beautiful and free of burden smile.

"Except your beauty there isn't anything in you which I wanted in my wife." He said with disappointment and Alisha suddenly stop laughing on his statement.

"Raahim I never claim that I have all these qualities in me! Even I never know that you wanted a wife like this! And honestly I'm not that type of girl!" Alisha said in her confident way and he sighed.

"What's done is done! Now what we have to do?" Raahim asked after a couple of moments and Alisha shrugged

"It's very simple?" she mutter.

"What?"

"Just take my care, take me for shopping, and be a good husband!" Alisha said happily and He give a look like 'Oh really?'

"And what will you do?" He asked

"It's also very simple" she said smartly

"I'll help you in caring about me, will do tons of shopping and enjoy to being the wife of a good husband" She replied and Raahim show his angry expression but actually he was hiding his smile.

"You're very clever" she giggled and he lay down facing opposite to her after switching off the night lamp.

"Raahim" she placed her hand on his arm but he didn't turned.

"Hmm" with closed eyes he utter

"Sorry naa... I haven't ask for forgiveness like this, but you're making me beg in front of you" she said sadly.

"Alisha I'm very tired, sleep now and lemme sleep too" He replied with closed eyes

and she huffed and lift her both hands to press his throat but stopped in mid way.

"You promised me on engagement that you will always care for me" Alisha said and he remembered his own words. When He ask to Alisha for trusting him.

"Yeah I remember" Alisha smack her forehead and lift her hand to punch him as his eyes were closed, she was in half way when suddenly Raahim open his eyes turning to her side.

Alisha mentally palm her face as his hand was still in air near his face.

"What?" He asked with wide eyes and she bite her lower lip with nervousness

"I.. Umm" Alisha looked at her hand and then Raahim, and smiled sheepishly

"I.. I.." She stammered and he raised his brow.

"Nothing, I.. I was cleaning this... Its some dust on you.. Your shirt" Alisha babbled and started wiping off dust from his shirt which was actually no where. He held her wrist and slightly glare her.

"Don't glare me like this!" She mutter trying to free her hand but he smirked and pulled her little closer, she placed her other hand on his chest to maintain her balance, she was thinking that Raahim was going to say something romantic, that feeling was beating her heart differently. She smiled shyly bowing her head little and he tucked her hair behind her ear  and....

"First of all decide what do you want and what not! Then tell me your decision." He whispered just an Inch away from her lips, his both breath made her heart beat fast, he slightly push her and closed her eyes before placing his forearm on his eyes.

For almost half an hour she was fighting with herself, her wanted to trust Raahim but she was feeling an unknown fear while trusting him.

After a deep breath she utter "Raahim"

"Alisha I'm tired don't make me more tired" He said with frustration and anger.

"Raahim I'm serious, please listen to me" she said seriously and held his arm.

"Say I'm listening" He said in ignoring way, because he was frustrated due to change in statements and her mind.

"Raahim have you asked me before Marriage that was I happy or not?" She utter and he turned to saw her then hummed in response.

"I... I don't know how to make you understand what I want to say! No one can understand me and my fear" Alisha said in defeated tone and lay down on her side facing opposite to him, he was shocked to witness that change in behaviour. He was witnessing many forms of Alisha, sometimes hot like chilli and sometimes rude like hell but that time she was sounding like a alone girl who wanted to share what she was hiding inside her since childhood.

After a long silence he lift his weight on left elbow and peep towards her side, she was pretending to sleep but actually not sleeping.

"Alisha" with the intention of not disturbing her sleep he whispered but since she wasn't sleeping so open her eyes.

"Yeah" she turned towards him.

"Try to make me understand, maybe I'll" He said after placing his hand on her shoulder and she stood up after a smile. "Really?"

"Yeah, shadi kari hai, tumhe jhelna to parhega" He said and she smiled.

(Since I have marry you so I have to tolerate now)

"Thanks, and I'm sorry" she said and he smack his forehead

"Did you wanted to tell just this?" He asked and he shook her head

"Ofcourse not!"

"So tell soon" he said and  she nodded with sadness on her face and fastly running heart.
