Sweat drops were present on the forehead, just like the dot of stars present in the night sky. She was biting the lower lip and nails occasionally out of anxiety.
"What will happen now?" She bit her lip again.
She was walking from one corner of the room to another as if she had to measure the length by footsteps.
"But how?" she mumbled while walking and biting her lips. Her poor heart was beating abnormally as she was trying to conclude the feeling which was jumping inside her. There was a flood of emotions but the prominent was nervousness or maybe anxiety
Meanwhile the car horn hit her drums, she was about to run to perform her duty of giving water to her husband but stopped in between.
"Bano~ water~" He yelled, but instead of going out from he room she sat down on the corner of the bed with dangling legs.
"Is there anyone at home? I'm asking for water" She stood up but sat down again. She was feeling anxious about upcoming moments.
"How it is possible?" she bit her lower lip and the door was opened by her husband.
"Hmm?" He raised his brow in questioning way. "What's wrong? How was your exam? Was it tough? You're looking worried" Maaz asked while removing his wrist watch and loosing his tie but she stay silent for a few minutes. Maaz was confused by her behavior.
"Biya is there any problem?" Maaz asked and Rabiya's eyes filled with tears. "Rabiya tell me what happened?" sitting beside her he asked and placed his hand on shoulder.
"Maaz" she mumbled and tears slipped out from her eyes. "Biya you're scaring me."
"I'm pregnant" She muttered and hid her face in her palms before crying. Maaz was shocked. The wrist watch which he was holding in his hand abruptly slipped down his face was dull.
"Biya" He muttered and she looked up. "Are you sure?" Maaz asked in same hushed tone and she nodded. Taking a deep breath Maaz let it out while closing eyes. Placing both elbows on either thigh Maaz bowed his head down and hid his face in his palms. Rabiya's heart skipped a beat after seeing his unexpected reaction.
"Maaz" she placed her hands on his shoulder and two tears jumped off from her beautiful eyes. "Why are you silent?" mumbling that she took a deep breath to gulp the upcoming tear.
"Biya... I.. I don't know what to say" Without lifting his head he replied and Rabiya wipe her tears. "But" Maaz whispered and looked up. "Biya" he whispered before opening his arms.
"I'm so happy Jaan" he smiled and Rabiya blinked with amazement, she wasn't expecting Maaz's happy reaction because he had always told that he didn't want a child so soon but now his unexpected smile confused Rabiya. She was sitting with slightly open mouth and blank face.
"Why are you crying?" He asked happily and pulled Rabiya in a tight hug. "I... I thought you'll.. you'll not be happy" she muttered on his chest and Maaz laughed before kissing her head.
"Are you happy?" He asked but Rabiya shook her head which dropped Maaz's smile. "Why?" breaking the hug he asked. "I don't know?" She muttered one more time and sniffles.
"Do you have any problem?" He asked and she shook her head "I'm feeling nervous and scared" Maaz smiled at her crying face and embrace her one more time. Forgetting everything they he was only feeling Rabiya's presence in in arms and her fast beating heart against his chest. Getting the protective hold of her husband Rabiya's heart started feeling warmth of his love and her eyes stopped shedding tears.
"Maaz"
"Biya" He whispered back with a smile and ran his fingers through her hair. "I'm feeling nervous." She muttered, face was still his in his chest.
"You're silly. My silly woman" breaking the hug Maaz kissed her forehead and cheeks before watching her lips which fluttered her heart. And soon they savour a small amount of love.
"Have you informed anyone about this?" Maaz asked and Rabiya shook her head.
"I completely forgot about sharing this with anyone other than you, but I have to inform mummy. She was being impatient for this news." Rabiya dialled her mother's number and put that on speaker mode.
"Hello" she received the call.
"Hello mummy" she said meekly
"Yeah Rabiya"
"Mummy I'm not feeling well"
"What happened?" Tabassum asked worriedly.
"Umm... I'm feeling dizzy" Rabiya pressed her lips together to suppress her smile. "And.. Nauseated too" she added.
"Oh... Beta avoid eating unhealthy foods and maintain your sleeping schedule" Tabassum Advised and Rabiya was amazed, when she was not pregnant, Tabassum had to get that news but now she wasn't getting Rabiya's clear hint.
"Umm.. Mummy I'm feeling like to have something sweet" Rabiya added softly.
"Tell Maaz to bring something sweet for you." Rabiya smack her forehead and Maaz chuckled.
"Mummyyyyyy try to understand na... I'm having mood swings too"
"So what's new in this? This is your old drama. Now hangup the call I already have many other works" after this scolding, Rabiya listen a beep which indicates that the call was ended. Maaz laughed loudly and Rabiya glared him
"shut up Mr khadoos" slapping his arm tightly Rabiya glared at him again
"You know what Biya, now I'm worried" He said seriously and Rabiya narrow her eyes "why?" she asked and Maaz show his toothy smile.
"You have a habit to slap anyone right in front of you, what will happen if you continue this habit even after having a baby... You shouldn't slap my baby."
"Maaazzzz" she again slap his arm unintentionally then bit her tounge when realised what she had done. Both laughed together at the same time they heard a knock on the door.
"Yes?" Maaz. Asked loudly.
"Asma ma'am is summoning you for dinner"
"Coming" He replied and tilt his head towards the Dorr to indicate Rabiya to come for dinner. She smiled shyly and nodded.
"Maaz wait... Now what about our honeymoon?" She asked with a different fear in her voice
"Umm... We'll go for honeymoon with this little one." He chuckled after thinking a few minutes and Rabiya sighed.
There honeymoon was postponed one more time.
<><><>
Waqar, Asma, Raahim and Alisha were already present at the dining table, they were waiting for Maaz and Rabiya to join.
"Come on Maaz Bhai, we're waiting for you and you're resting in your room." Raahim complaint. Rabiya didn't take her usual seat but sat beside Asma, Maaz smiled at her and took steps toward her mother. For a second everyone was confused about the sudden seat charges but then Maaz stood behind his mother, placing both hands on her shoulders he bend down to her ear.
"You're going to become grandmother, little Maaz is about to arrive." Maaz whispered in her mother's ear before taking his usual seat. Asma was surprised to hear that, but all the other members were blinking blankly. Rabiya was looking red due to shyness and Maaz was looking like the happiest man of this world.
"Really?" Asma asked and Rabiya smiled more without looking at anyone.
"What?" Waqaar and Raahim asked in unison.
"Maaz is going to become a father" Asma informed and the dull home suddenly echoed with a silent joy which was audible in everyone's bright smiles.
The news of Alisha's pregnancy was already making Asma and Waqaar happy as they were going to become grandparents and now This news had changed their lives.
Rabiya and Alisha both were two months pregnant. Since two months Alisha was showing her tantrums but Rabiya was unaware about her pregnancy. It was an accidental pregnancy and she was thinking that she had missed her last month periods because of no special reason. But today when she was in college, she felt dizziness and nauseated.
Thinking about everything she realised that all the symptoms were indicating towards her pregnancy so she decided to have a pregnancy test, which was positive.

"Dad I'm going to Dadu, and Dado to tell them that we are going to MacD" Ammar said and Maaz let him go after combing his hair with his fingers.
"Biya how much time you need?" Maaz asked while going inside the dressing room. She was standing in front of mirror applying eyeliner.

"Looking good" Maaz compliment her and Rabiya smiled, going closer to her, he stand behind her and enfolded his arms around her waist, while placing his chin on her shoulder.
"What is she doing?" placing his hand on Rabiya's little swelled belly Maaz asked and Rabiya placed her hand on Maaz's hand with a beautiful grin on her face.
"Why are you sure that it's a girl?" Rabiya asked and Maaz shrugged his shoulders
"I don't know how and why, but I think it's a girl this time" Maaz said and Rabiya nodded.
"Rabiya what will happen if she will be like her brother, stubborn?" Maaz asked and Rabiya rolled her eyes.

"Ohh reallyyy... But he is like you, expert in showing tantrums" Maaz said in teasing way while going towards the stairs, Rabiya was walking with him but Ammar was walking in front of His parents.
"So? It's my right to show my tantrums" She said after a chuckle
"shut up Mrs. Khadoos you should be thankful to me that I'm tolerating your tantrums" Maaz said with a chuckle and got a slap on his arm.

They both and their arguments were increasing day by day as Same as their pure love towards each other.
Finally, holding their hands with entangled fingers they both entered living room where Raahim, Asma and Waqaar were sitting
"I wish I would! then you will be fine" Rabiya said and maaz smirked.
"You aren't a wrestler then you are that much chubby, if you wer...."

"He said that he loves chachu but he never say that he loves dad" Maaz complaint to his parents showing his disappointment
"This child is very intelligent" After Raising his eye brow Raahim said playfully
"You wait for your children to come back from their's Paternal grandparent's home, I'll make them intelligent too, just like my Ammar" Maaz said while glaring Raahim and Rabiya took seat beside her mother-in-law.

"Aren't you going?" Asma asked when she noticed Rabiya sitting instead of going
"They will take time to complete their arguments" Rabiya said while rolling her eyes and Waqaar laughed.
"Dadu" Ammar jumped out from Maaz's arms and ran towards his grandfather. Waqaar picked him up and sat him on his right thigh
"My kids are already very smart, they don't need anyone's guidance to be smart, after all they are Raahim's kids." Raahim said proudly and Maaz rolled his eyes.
"huh" maaz slapped Raahim's head and he glared him.
"Duffer Your kids are just like me, if they would like you, I'm sure they won't be smart at all" Maaz said and Raahim jointed his palms in front of him
"If my children would be like you it would be impossible for me to handle them" Raahim said and Rabiya giggled
"Stoppp it." Waqaar said loudly and Ammar pressed his both ears with both palms, because of Waqaar loud voice then he turned and saw his grandfather, actually not to saw but glare.
"Daduuu... Do someone roar like this? Don't you know it's a bad manner?" Ammar crossed his little arms on his chest and scolded his Grandfather.
Everyone burst into guffaw after witnessing the scene.
"Ohh.., is this a bad thing!! But no one tell me about this before." Waqaar said while shifting Ammar on his left thigh and he nodded confidently.
"Mommy why you didn't told him that its a bad manner?" Ammar scolded his mother and she saw Asma then Waqaar
"Baba don't look at me, your grandson is out of my control" Rabiya said and Maaz smiled.
"If we would say something like that to baba, I'm sure he would slap us But he is not scolding Ammar, even he is scolding baba" Maaz said and Raahim nodded in agreement
"Maaz" Rabiya utter his name and he glanced at her then again looked at his son who was now standing on his grandfather's thigh and playing with his hair by running his fingers and making them like a mountain.
"Ammu what are you doing with Dadu?" Maaz asked
"It's okay" Waqaar said while holding Ammar protectively.
"Dadu is my friend and I am playing with my friend" Ammar replied and Rabiya made herself stand
"You both father and son stay here, I'm going." Rabiya said after huffing and Asma chucked
"Areey... Ammu beta jaldi chalo, jhasi ki rani ko gussa aa gya to preshani ho jayegi" Maaz said while holding his son in his arms and got a glare with a slap on the arm from Rabiya.
(Ammar Come, dear, it would be a problem if your mother become angry)
"Mommy don't slap my dad" Ammar protest and Rabiya huffed with fake anger.
"You wait Dad's son... I'll slap you too" Rabiya shows her fake anger and Maaz lift, Ammar, in his arms.
"BHAGOOOOOOOOO" Maaz and Ammar both yelled in unison and Maaz ran out from the home towards his Car. Everyone laughed as so Rabiya while walking out from he home and they three hopped in the car to start another journey or better to say a part of life's journey.
(Run~)
Practically, The whole life is a journey, what a person start alone but in between get many fellows. The quality of fellows determines the quality of the journey.
Maaz and Rabiya also got one another as fellows to make their journey beautiful.
Here beautiful doesn't mean only love but a canvas looks beautiful with the blend of different shades. Rabiya and Maaz's life was also like this canvas, a blend of love, fights, arguments, teasings and respect for one another.
They were perfect together as their match was made in heaven.
