Chapter 77: Chapter 77

Raahim's POV:

Alisha was silently sitting in front of me for ten minutes, she wanted to tell me something but her tongue was tied.

"Will you tell me?" I asked and she hummed, that she was doing since ten minutes and I was losing my patience with every passing moment.

"I.. I don't believe in marriage so I didn't want to do this marriage but Mom and dad forcefully marry me off" She gave me a big shock

"Alisha I had asked you on engagement day, and you said that you are ready for this marriage!" I reminded her with disappointment and she nodded.

"This is why I was saying no one can understand me and my feelings!" she said and I detect a good amount of disappointment in her beautiful eyes, which unwillingly melt my heart and cool down the anger which was developing inside me.

"At least share with me so that I can try to understand you and your emotions" I state "And if you didn't want to do this marriage then why you didn't tell me beforehand?" I asked and she shook her head suddenly

"no, it's not like this, I wanted to do Marriage that's why I got agree otherwise no one could force me" She replied and I wanted to hit either mine or her head on the nearest wall.

'Is she a mentally ill person?' That was the only question which my poor brain was asking me! And unfortunately there weren't any answer regarding that. The only one who could answer this question was making me more irritate.

"Alisha you should take rest, first decided that you wanted to do Marriage or not and have your parents forced you or you've willingly done this marriage. Tum khud hi itni confuse ho mujhe kya samjhaogi?" I said trying to cope with my anger

(How will you explain your feelings when your confuse)

After switching off the light I lay down facing towards her, she was still sitting beside me but I ignored and close my eyes to sleep but my slumber was offended with me, I was feeling deeply hurt, the person for whom I was waiting in my life, the same person had become the most unwanted person in my life.

I wanted a shy wife, but got a Psycho wife. She change her mind and statement every now and then. Before Marriage I only wanted to get married, there weren't any other problem but after only two days and five hours I wanted to get rid of that relationship. I was feeling that I had invited my own death.

'Arranged Marriage is a big risk!' my subconscious told and I was agree but unfortunately that was too late to understand anything. I was remembering Maaz bhai, I wanted to hug him and say him that he was correct that I should do Marriage, I wanted to tell him that he was correct with his prediction about Alisha that she is not a shy girl because now a days shy girls don't exist but I couldn't say akk these things to make my own fun in front of Maaz bhai.

"Are you sleeping?" I listened her voice but ignored because I didn't had energy to drain on her useless Psycho acts.

"What do I do? I'll make him mental just like me" she mumbled

'it means she's really crazy' I said to myself and keep my eyes shut

'Go to hell, I have to go to office tomorrow, I don't have time to think about you' I said to her in my thoughts and started feeling sleepy, I was feeling her still sitting on her same position. Then I felt the lights were turned off and she also lay down. I started feeling sleepy but suddenly a hand held mine I was going to open my eyes but

'Raahim you're sleeping, and a sleeping person can't wake up with such a light touch' my dear intelligent subconscious made me realise and I continued my act of sleeping, and soon I was really sleeping but in light slumber I felt someone was crying and sniffing, opening my eyes I found Alisha sniffing and wiping her tears

"Alisha" I utter in disbelief because I wasn't expecting her to cry like that. But at the same time I was feeling irritation too, because then I was almost sure that the girl was psycho.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" I asked with irritation because she was such a mental person.

"I don't know what happened and why I'm crying" she replied and  Raahim smacked his forehead.

"So you should try to sleep instead of doing this crying session" He scolded her before closing his eyes..

"That's why I wasn't believing in marriage, Raahim you're the same person who promised me a day back that you will always take care of me but within few days you have changed you'your behaviour towards me." This time Alisha was sounding like she was going to beat me and I open my eyes with full of frustration.

" Alisha, first of all make your own mind about what you want to say and what do you want. I'm already out of my mind. I was asking about your problem at that time you were silent, sometimes you says that you didn't want to marry me your parents forced you some time you say that you've marry me with your own will, yaar first decide what you have to say. Don't say two different things at a time. And few minutes ago you were crying but now you are arguing with me... I'm tired of you in only two days"  saying that I sat down on bed, she glare me but a tear rolled down from her left eye which made me feel guilty without any of my fault.

"Alisha, at least tell me about your problem!" I asked one more time and she huffed showing like she was super cool and confident.

"I don't have any problem, you may sleep because you have to go office but please do a favour on me, tomorrow is reception, for the day after tomorrow book me a flight ticket to Mumbai. After completing the drama what our families have arranged, I would like to go back because I understand what I'm in your life" She said after glaring me and I glare her back

"For sure, even take this" saying that I drew out the laptop from the drawer and passed her.

"Book your own tickets because I have to cancel the honeymoon tickets." Saying that I picked the pillow and blanket from the bed and stepped out from the room, I turned to saw her reaction and she was looking shocked but I was frustrated so banging the door loudly I went to my study room which was downstairs.

"I have married to a half mad girl, she is half mad but will make me completely mad" Mumbling the same I locked the door of my study and laying on the couch soon I was consumed by slumber.

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

THIRD PERSON'S POV:

'' Just for a couple of minutes I felt that Raahim is different but no.. No one can different. I'll never Mom and dad to marry me with this typical man. Why these people don't let us live in peace? When I didn't wanted to get married then they had to marry me off?" Alisha was saying all these things looking in the mirror and combing her very short hair

Which were hardly coming down from her shoulders. A knock on the door grabbed her attention and she huffed

"Come in" Without bothering to look towards the door she ordered

"Ma'am, Asma ma'am is summoning you and Raahim sir for breakfast" A maid informed and Alisha suddenly turned towards the poor maid

"Oh yeah.. Why not? I'm only here for this work only! All of them are treating me like a robot, is this called Marriage? They all feed me forcefully when I don't feel hungry, when I don't felt sleepy that Raahim said me to sleep.. And now when I am not in mood to talk to anyone at this time I have to sit in between all of them for advertising my toothpaste while showing my Shiny teeth and beautiful smile" The poor maid was helplessly watching the newly wed daughter-in-law of the home, who was showing her shyness.

"Ma'am.... What should I say to Asma Ma'am?" The maid asked with hung open mouth.

"Say that I'm not coming" Alisha said with frustration and the maid looked towards her with wide eyes but then nodded.

"Okay" saying that Maid took back step bit Alisha smack her forehead.

"Alisha what the hell are you doing?" She muttered, and throw a beauty blender on floor to drew out her anger.

"Listen.." She yelled and the maid again open the door and stepped in.

"Don't say anything to anyone, say Aunty that I'm coming after getting ready" She ordered and the maid nodded before stepping back.

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

Stretching his body he stepped down from the couch after throwing the blanket to other side. Scratching the his hair which were looking completely messy, he yawn and open the door of his study room.

"Raahim what are you doing here?" that was the first question which we encountered from his eldest brother who was going towards the dining area, along with Maaz while discussing something about some random topics.

"Abdullah bhai... Woo.. I..."

"I already knew it, no  girl could tolerate him, I'm, sure Alisha has kicked him out from the room" Maaz said with a chuckle but Raahim glare him with deadly sight.

"I couldn't have kicked her out from my room that's why I myself came here other she would be here on my place" Raahim replied with anger making Maaz and Abdullah shocked.

"This is only third day of your marriage and this much anger that you wanna kick her off from your room! Are you in your senses?" Maaz said with wide eyes and Abdullah nodded in agreement.

"I'm sure this girl is mad, sometimes she becomes angry, sometimes she laughs, sometimes she argue with me and sometimes she cry... She is unpredictable" Raahim informed his both brothers and they were looking at each other with hanged jaw.

"It's not new, every wife do the same." Abdullah said and Maaz nodded. "It doesn't mean that you leave the room" Maaz added and Raahim huffed.

"I'm tired of her!" Raahim said with frustration.

"Raahim it's only three days of your marriage, give some time to her try to sort out your matters" Abdullah told and Raahim huffed.

"Please bhai Don't talk to me about this matter, I'm already tired of her" before Raahim could step towards stairs, Alisha arrived there

Both looked towards each other...

Umm... Not look but they both glare each other.

"Have you book ticket for Mumbai?" Raahim asked to Alisha.

"I'll, you dint have to worry about that" Saying that Alisha rolled her eyes.

"Why you both have to go Mumbai? Is everything fine in your home?" Abdullah asked to Raahim and Last part was for Alisha but before he could get answer his mobile is started drinking that was his wife's call who was in her maternal home, so Abdullah excused from his both brothers and went to the other corner to attend the call.

"Raahim Alisha what's going on in between you two?" Maaz asked to both of them

"Maaz bhai tonight is Reception and tomorrow or day after tomorrow I'm going back to Mumbai!" Alisha said and Raahim rolled his eyes.

"For sure, go soon. Have a nice journey" Saying that Raahim went towards stairs and Maaz was shocked on their behaviour.

"Alisha why are you going?" Maaz asked.

"This marriage is a big problem of my life so I want to get rid of my problems as soon as possible" Alisha said and turned to go towards the dining area.

"Alisha"

"Yeah bhai?" She turned towards Maaz.

"Don't book your ticket for now, I'll talk to you and Raahim after coming back from office. I would talk to both of you now but I have to attend an important meeting so I can't stay at home" Maaz said and Alisha nodded.

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

After having their lunch Rabiya and Alisha both were in living area and all the other members of family were busy in important works.

Like Umema was busy in watching a K-Drama, Asma was busy in spending money in online shopping, Abdullah was busy in yawning while watching golf on TV and so on... All other others were also busy in their important works

"Alisha why are you so silent? Now start talking me, we have to live in same home" Rabiya said and Alisha smiled sadly.

"Let's see, who knows what, future is holding in its womb?" Alisha muttered

"What do you mean?" Rabiya asked confused

"Bhabhi it's... Leave it" Alisha mumbled

"First of all stop being formal with me, don't call me bhabhi but call me Rabiya, I'm only one year elder than you and secondly tell me if you have any problem in this home". Rabiya said and Alisha sighed.

"Can I share everything with you?" Alisha asked and Rabiya nodded.

"Yes... You can share Anything"

"So listen" Alisha said and Rabiya straight her back before sitting properly and nodded.

"Your dewar (brother-in-law) is a very very very ill mannered man. First of all he left me alone on our own wedding and come here. Its okay that was his work and he couldn't leave that but then on our so called wedding night....  I was so tired that day because due to wedding functions, and long travelling and cherry on the cake I was waiting for him in room like I was his slave. My back was paining but he was no where. I was so angry with him and I slept even we had argument.... " Alisha took a pause and gulp the half glass of water in one go.

" Hmm.. Where I was.. Oh yeah.. I was angry with him, but then I realised  that maybe I did something wrong I shouldn't behave like that so I apologise after compromising with my self respect but then he again started showing that I was wrong. I know I'm not perfect but I tried many times to sort out this matter but he is not ready to understand me." Alisha said in a single breath and gulp the remaining water in single go

Holding her breath in her chest Rabiya was listening everything without blinking.

'Ya Allah first time I'm feeling inferiority complex in front of her. I always thought that I'm a babbling master but she is two steps ahead' Rabiya said to herself and sighed.

"Alisha you both had an argument on your wedding night!" Rabiya asked and she nodded.

"Rabiya bhabhi.. Bhabhi is very inconvenient for me, Rabiya is fine..." Alisha muttered but again started "Rabiya you tell me if..." Alisha was saying when Maaz entered in the home with a loud call

"Baano bring water"

"Today take water from Bano" Rabiya rolled her eyes, and Maaz showed his charming smile on which Rabiya made herself stand and pour water in a glass before passing him.

"Maaz there is a problem" Rabiya said with a pout and he raised his brow in questioning way.

"The dress which I have wear in reception is not arrived yet." She said

"What do you mean?"

"The boutique owner said that she can't send that because delivery boys are not available" she said making a pout "So what? Send driver to pick that" He suggested.

"both the drivers are busy in bringing guests from airport" she said with a smile and placed her hand on his shoulder making his brow furrowed

"So what" stressing on each and every word he ask while raising his left eyebrow

"Go and bring my dress from boutique" She demanded.

"Huh.. Only this work is left for me to do"

"Maazzzzzz..." singing his name with a cute dramatic innocent face she said and Maaz shook his head.

"I'm sorry but I'm not going" He said and she made a face like she will cry at any moment.

"No problem" she muttered sadly and sat beside Alisha with down face.

"Wow.. Today become agree so easily! is everything fine or you need a doctor?" Maaz asked before making himself stand to go towards stairs.

"Yeah no problem, you take rest I'll wear the same gown which I had wear in Shayaan bhai's reception... I wanted to wear red colours dress so that I can team up that the jewellery you gifted me on our wedding anniversary, but no problem" Rabiya said so innocently like she never ever demanded for anything from Maaz or she was dealing with a cruel husband and Maaz sighed.

"Biya do you know you're a great emotional blackmailer" Maaz said and Rabiya giggled

"Are you going or I need to blackmail you even more?"

"Going yaar" He said loosing his cuf buttons and holding his sleeves three fourth.

"Rabiya if Maaz bhai would not understand you then what will you do? If Maaz bhai made you wait on your wedding night then how will you respond?" Alisha asked and Rabiya sighed.

"Alisha aren't you going very fast? I mean to say I understand that Raahim bhai had made you wait that night but you two are completely strangers give some time to him and to your relationship. How can you expect that everything will be fine in only three days." Rabiya said wisely and Alisha smiled like a taunt.

" You can't understand what I'm feeling, because Maaz Bhai loves you so much, you can't understand when Raahim is not understanding me! I wasn't expecting this marriage like this. I was expecting that Raahim is a kind man, but he is not." Alisha said with disappointment.

" First of don't compare your and my case. At the time of marriage Maaz wasn't even agree to saw my face, he didn't even glaced at me for three days of our marriage and we didn't use to talk to each other like this. We were strangers... Two strangers who were tied up in the bond of nikkah without any prenotice. Secondly if it comes to Raahim bhai, I don't know what exactly should I say about this matter but as far as I know he is much better than Maaz. He is fun loving but he is sensible too, try to understand him" Rabiya said and Alisha smack her forehead

"What should I do to understand him? I tried to talk to him, I was gathering courage to talk but he become irritate" she burst on Rabiya angrily, making her shock.

"Oh no.." After realising the tone of herself Alisha muttered and hide her face in her both palms.

"I'm sorry" Alisha muttered. "This is my problem, when someone don't understand me I become angry, I'm a short tempered one" Rabiya placed her right hand on her chest and sighed.

"If she is behaving like this in front of me then I can understand Raahim bhai's reaction." Rabiya mumbled but Alisha listen the same.

"You too are not understanding me" Alisha said and Rabiya suddenly shook her head.

"No.. It's not like that I said because we all are supposing you as an introvert and shy but... You are very..." Rabiya chew the last words of her sentence and said with a forceful smile on her face.

"But I'm babbled, confident, bold and ill mannered... Right?" Alisha asked but Rabiya shook her head.

"I didn't said that" Rabiya defend herself.

"It's okay, I'm like this." Alisha said and Rabiya think for a couple of minutes.

"Alisha... More than bold, babbled and confident you're confused" After all Rabiya said

"Raahim was also saying that" Alisha muttered

"Try to control your anger. Raahim bhai was watching your pics whole day and night, we all were teasing him with your name. He loves you before marriage just talk to him. Everything will be fine" Rabiya said and Alisha nodded.

"I'll try" she muttered

"Madam your servant is here in your service" Maaz said while passing her dress making her happy.

"Alisha I will talk to Raahim, but before that no need to take any wrong step" Maaz said and Rabiya was confused that her husband already know about the dispute between both Raahim and Alisha.

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

The Reception party was very well, Raahim and Alisha were going towards their home after coming back from the Reception party when A call stopped them.

"Raahim" that was Abdullah, who was standing with Maaz. .

"Yeah bhai" Raahim asked.

"Alisha you go, and Raahim you come with me" Abdullah ordered and they both nodded

"Sit" Maaz said to Raahim when the three brothers went to the lawn of home.

"Yeah bhai?" Raahim asked to Abdullah .

"Raahim what's the matter?" Abdullah asked.

"Bhai is girl is mad, I'm becoming mad,she and her flipping personality is killing me" Raahim said angrily.

"Raahim Rabiya had talk to her, and she said that Alisha is confuse as well as she is a short tempered one." Maaz said and Raahim shook his head with anger.

"Alisha is not very confused but she is very confusing, she is making me confused"

"Raahim she need some time to open up with you, try to understand" Maaz said and Raahim glare him

"Wow who is saying this! Who had already played a big drama in home" Raahim said about Maaz.

"Raahim stay  in your limits, Maaz isn't wrong." Abdullah Scolded him.

"I have wasted my presious time, that's why I'm saying not to repeat my mistake" Maaz said with same anger because he was also a short tempered one.

"I don't need your support Maaz bhai.. Please..." Raahim was drawing out his frustration on Maaz when Abdullah scolded them

"both of you stop now."

"Maaz is correct" Abdullah said and Maaz gulped his anger.

"Listen Raahim, you don't know what was Alisha's expectations from you nor she know anything about you. Talk to her and try to understand her problem instead of judging her." Maaz said and Abdullah nodded.

"You remember Raahim I lived alone in UAE for whole year, before marriage?" Abdullah asked after sitting beside him and he nodded

"At that time I was feeling homesick, I was not only missing your people but I was remembering my favourite coffee mug, my bed, my blanket, even our old toy cars which we never keep carefully, I was so frustrated at that time., I wanted to come back in any case, but I had to live there just for my job" Abdullah said and Raahim was confused

"Why Are you telling me about that right now?" Raahim asked.

"Because Alisha has left her home, and come here for you." Raahim suddenly looked at Abdullah on his words.

"she must be feeling irritate due to unknown people and different home, try to understand her feelings. She is alone here, give a chance to her if she is confused then ask the reason without anger." This time Maaz said and Raahim Sighed.

"Okay" Raahim said and both brothers smiled.

"When I went back to UAE with Umema after marriage at the time I understand the meaning of a life partner. We were really partners who shared our loneliness, fears, problems, happiness and everything." Abdullah said with a smile and Maaz smiled.

"I never knew our Abdullah bhai is such a good husband" Maaz raised his brow.

"Shut up Maaz.. I'm serious" Abdullah said in scolding way.

"Raahim become Alisha's partner in her confused state of mind, when you both will share the flaws of each other they will become half and when you will share happiness that will become double" Abdullah said and  Raahim shrugged.

"LET'S see what will she do! Otherwise she is a half mad girl" Saying that Raahim made his way back to his room as so Maaz and Abdullah.

Maaz went to his room where Rabiya was already sleeping, he  changed his clothes and lay down beside His wife

"Biya" Kissing her forehead he utter and embraced her lovingly, in deep sleep she snuggled in his arms and muttered  something.

"I love you my Jaan" kissing her cheek he said to his sleeping beauty.

"Maaaaaz so jao" she open her half eyes and ordered him giving a reason to smile.

(Maaaaaz sleep now)

"Biya Do you love me?"

"No" she babbled.

"What.. Why?" He asked in whispered

"I.. I love someone else" she mutters taking away the land beneath his frame

"Whom so you love Rabiya?"

“Mr. Khadoos" she muttered. Actually Rabiya was replying everything in her dream but she was actually Mumbling that.

"Silly girl" Maaz took her in a bone crushing hug and soon he was also in the land of nod.

But in the next room Raahim and Alisha were preparing themselves to talk to each other but who knows what will happen in between their conversation.

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