Chapter 80: Chapter 80
They were miles away since one month, but their hearts were beating in each other's frames. Thanks to technology that they had a source to see each other.
Both were lying in bed, their respective laptop and mobile was placed in front of their faces and they were talking to each other.
"I'm missing you Maaz"
"I too am missing you Biya"
"Maaz when will you come back, I wanna sleep after hugging you" she muttered in half sleeping state and Maaz smiled.
"It's only one month and I'm already missing you like hell.. I can't wait to embrace you in my arms and..." He smiled and Rabiya bite her lower lip with blushing cheeks and shyness in eyes.
"Don't blush like this.. I'm already dying to come there and you're making my heart jump faster" He said in hushed tone with a smile and Rabiya's sleep was Already gone.
For a very long time they both stay silent and keep watching each other through those small screens, a few days back they had online argument and it was over very soon and now they were sharing online love.
True love does not mean to be cheesie all the time, it's a bitter sweet relationship in which sweetness should be more but sometimes bitterness is also needed to understand the value of right amount of sweetness.
They both were craving to feel their presence near one another, but they had to wait for two more months. Their gazes were fixed at each other's faced but suddenly Rabiya remembered about a news
"Maaz do you know about Raahim bhai and Alisha?" she asked suddenly making him confused, he narrow his eyes while thinking if he knew something or not but then slowly shook his head.
"No.. I don't know, what's new now? Have Alisha decided to divorce that duffer?" Maaz chuckled and Rabiya saw him with disappointment.
"Shut up Maaz, its not funny! Alisha is pregnant" Rabiya informed and Maaz's eyes became wide, he forget to laugh like he was laughing a moment back. "What? Are you serious? It's only two months of their marriage" Maaz couldn't help himself but unthought out, Rabiya also nodded with a giggle, but then Maaz laughed "This boy is in a hurry for everything." he mumbled and rolled his eyes but Rabiya pressed her lips together to stop herself to laugh
"Shut up Maaz, it's their personal matter" She scolded and Maaz sighed.
"Biya.. Our children will be younger than Raahim's children." Maaz said like a defeated one and Rabiya felt shy after listening about her kids.
''Don't be shy like this... " Maaz teased her and she felt more shy.
"Shut up Maaz" She lift her hand to slap his arm but he was on the other side of mobile screen.
"Maaz.. When you'll come back? My palms are itching to slap your arm" Rabiya said in childish way but Maaz chuckled.
"Come on now hang up and sleep, you have to attend your college tomorrow and I also am feeling sleepy." Maaz said while yawning and Rabiya made a pout and shook her head
" Don't hang up... I wanna talk to you even more" She made the demand like an innocent child, but Maaz close his eyes. He was already tired so wasn't in condition to talk more.
"You keep talking I'm listening" He muttered with shut eyes and Rabiya felt sad. "Are you very tired?" She asked but Maaz didn't respond as he was already slept. Rabiya keep watching him but then she didn't realise when she also engulfed by sweet dreams.

"Bhabhi if its a girl, then my neice should resembles me, so start watching my pic all day and night" Rabiya said happily and Shayaan chuckled while shaking his head
"If it's a girl then she shouldn't resembles you, I don't want any girl like you who slap her brother and husband every now and then" Shayaan said in playful manner because after Maaz, only he was becoming target of Rabiya's slaps, but Rabiya didn't like his fun making.
"Bhai you're bad" She muttered with a sad face and Shayaan pull her cheeks.
"Oh really?" Shayaan asked and Rabiya nodded while pushing her hand in the packet of peanuts but Shayaan suddenly pull the packet from her hand "If I'm this much bad then don't eat this.. Because I've bring this" In his playful tone Shayaan said, he was ready to listen any beffeting reply from Rabiya but actually something unexpected happened.
"Bhai you're chance... You weren't like this before." Rabiya muttered seriously and Shayaan looked at Sarah.
"Rabiya, Shayaan is just kidding with you" Sarah defend her husband but Rabiya smiled sadly while dangling her legs down from bed.
"You both sit together I'm going" Mumbling that Rabiya wear her slipper but Shayaan held her wrist.
"Rabiya stop acting dude... I know you're a great actress" Shayaan chuckled and Sarah also smack her forehead.
"oh my god, for a moment I thought she is seriously offended with you" Sarah laughed lightly but "I'm not doing any kind of acting... Lemme go" Rabiya free her hand from Shayaan making them confused on her sudden anger.
"Okay my doll, I'm sorry. You take this whole packet I'll bring another one for Sarah" Passing the packet of peanuts to Rabiya, Shayaan said with a gentle smile but Rabiya shook her head.
"Thanks, I'll say to Maaz.." Rabiya said but suddenly realised that her Maaz wasn't with her "Umm.. I'll ask papa to bring me this..." With a sad smile she left the room.
"What wrong with her? She wasn't this Much serious and sensitive ever!" Shayaan said in muttering and Sarah think for a moment.
"I think she's missing Maaz bhai very much and this Longing is effecting her" Sarah Shared and Shayaan hummed
"You're right! I would become even more mad if I were away from you for so long" Shayaan kissed his wife's forehead before saying so.

"I said no.. Can't you listen?"
"Please my love.. Just a since slice" He pleaded one more time and she huffed.
"Raahimmmm.... Can't you understand I don't wanna eat apply, I wanna eat pizza" Alisha yelled and Raahim huffed, but controlled himself to say anything harsh in reply.
"Alisha... Try to understand... You're a good girl and a good mother too.. You've had a pizza in lunch I didn't say anything... But now don't eat pizza again.. Eat this apple.. Come on... My good wife." Raahim treat her like she was a five years old girl and asking for candy but poor Raahim forgot that she wasn't any ordinary girl but Alisha, who had masters degree in mood swings and then she was pregnant so her cravings and mood swings were even more increased.
"Raahim you try to understand, I'm pregnant, not you.. So you can't understand what I'm feeling right now.. I wanna eat ice-cream, pizza and chocolate... But what you're doing? You're making me eat apple" Alisha glare him and he huffed again
"You haven't only become pregnant but insane too... I'm saying so lovingly to eat pizza tomorrow, for now eat something healthy, but no! You will not listen to me... What's your problem?" in the end, Raahim lose his patience.
" Ughhhh.... I don't want to talk to you.." Alisha said out of frustration and throw a pillow on his face.
Raahim wanted to throw that pillow back on her but smack his forehead, because Alisha could've cried soon.
"Okay. I'm sorry.." He muttered and held her both hands. "Stop it.. I'm bringing ice-cream for you, but don't eat pizza... Please" He said and Alisha pulled her hands from his grip but nodded like she was doing biggest favour on him.
"May my child won't be like Alisha ... I can't make him admitted in mental hospital rather than school." climbing down stairs Raahim mumbled and went to kitchen, that was midnight, no maid or servants were present and he didn't know how to do all those works.
But somehow he drew out ice-cream tub from freezer and then started searching for a scooper but unfortunately even after ten minutes he was unable to found out the same, poor ice-cream was melting in the tub, hoping for Raahim's attention and suddenly prayers of that lifeless one got answered and Raahim smack his forehead.
"Oh no.. Its already melting!" He mumbled and instead of wasting his time in searching scooper hit side to pick two spoons with the tub of ice cream.
"Maaz bhai was correct.. Marriage is not a fantastic idea at all.. And when the wife is like Alisha then your life is not less than a torture cell" He mumbled out of frustration and entered into the room, and he was shocked, because Alisha was eating apples.
"Now what happened?" He asked and sat down beside her placing the ice-cream tub between them.
"I'm eating this just because of my child." She muttered and Raahim sighed
"Alisha you're impossible," She giggled and Raahim made an unpleasant face, but very next moment he smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Thanks for giving me this good news" He smiled while lifting spoon full of ice-cream for her and she took that with a smile.
'By the way, there is one thing she is little bit crazy...' Raahim said in his thoughts but in reality he prefer to stay silent. But even after every mood swings of Alisha he was falling for her.
Alisha lift a spoonful of Ice cream for Raahim which he took with a smile, and he got a kiss on his cheek giving happiness to his heart.
