"...the inspector slipped
the handcuffs onto his left wrist and Zoya's right wrist..."
Maryam returned with a tray of food and drinks, and clanked it down in front of Asad and Zoya. Zoya watched Asad cringe a little at the disorder on the tray, so she began setting things in place for him. He gave her a half-smile gratefully, and she simply shrugged in response. It was no longer a big deal for her to give in to his OCD behaviour; she was really quite used to it. Asad and Zoya were just about to start on their refreshments when a young woman came up to them and patted Maryam on the shoulder.
"Maryam, main jaa rahi hoon. I think I've finished applying mehendi for all the ladies present here," the young woman said, and began turning away when Maryam nodded in acknowledgement. Zoya immediately got up, causing Asad to be dragged up with her as well, just as he was about to reach for his drink.
"Nahi! Please don't go, I haven't applied mehendi on my hands!" Zoya exclaimed, giving the young woman quite a fright. Thankfully, the lady seemed to be a kind and patient one, so she nodded and obliged, walking back towards them.
"No! Miss Farooqui, you will not apply mehendi, since we're attached by these handcuffs. It becomes really messy when it dries up, and I don't want to have those small flecks of mehendi everywhere," Asad said firmly, trying not to look at Zoya. But he couldn't help himself and when he looked at how her face at fallen at his announcement, he could already feel his resolve melt away. Asad sighed as the ladies around him began chiding him for being mean, before finally nodding his head and giving in. Zoya's face immediately lit up again, and he knew he'd made the right decision. As the young woman sat next to Zoya and took her hand to begin applying the mehendi, the ladies around him began commenting on how loving he is as a husband to give in to his wife. It was hilarious how quickly the villagers made conclusions.
Asad shook his head in slight amusement and began eating the samosas laid out in front of him. Zoya was so involved in getting her mehendi applied that she simply couldn't be bothered about her hunger. The crowd around them eventually dispersed once they realized that there was nothing exciting left to wait for. Maryam and her gang of giggling girls sat themselves down near an unsuspecting Zoya to tease her and Asad about their love for each other.
"Asad bhaijaan, aap toh akele hi sab chai-nashta le rahe hai, isn't your wife hungry too? Why don't you feed her??" the girls began to tease, in between spurts of giggles. Asad rolled his eyes and chose to ignore them, when he felt Zoya nudge him with her elbow. She had mehendi on both her hands, and she wore that sad puppy look on her face again. He sighed, and slowly began bringing a piece of samosa close to her lips. There was no way he could resist her if she was going to give him that expression.
"Aww Asad bhaijaan, aap kitne romantic hai!" the girls began teasing again. The lady applying the mehendi on Zoya's hand caught Asad's name this time, and so she began altering the design she had planned for Zoya's hand a little. She was done a short while after that, and so she took her leave from an extremely grateful Zoya. The giggling girls also took their leave, when they realized that Asad and Zoya had proven to be really boring to tease, since they never responded at all. Besides, night was falling, and everyone was beginning to retire to their rooms. Maryam indicated to Asad and Zoya where their room was, before retiring to her bedroom as well, leaving Asad and Zoya there all by themselves.
