OS : The Chronicles Of A Blue Tie :)

"Ammi have you seen my blue tie?" Asad inquired. He was late for his office and this stupid tie had to go missing at the same time.

"Blue tie? Which one? You have so many of them!"

"The dark blue one Ammi!"

"Oh! The one you wear every other day?" Dilshad giggled.

"Ammi please, I don't have time for jokes! Do you know where it is?"

"No I don't! Ask Zoya..Maybe she has it!"

What will she do with my tie? He thought and climbed the stairs that led to their room.

"Hello Mr. Whoever you are, I am Asad Ahmed Khan! What a pleasure to meet you. I'm sorry I'm late today, my wife had hidden my favorite blue tie you know? She's such a baby, I love her so much! She-"

"What the hell are you doing?" Asad barked from the door as he saw what Zoya was up to.

She stood on top of the bed wearing his black shirt and the 'wanted' blue tie around her neck, his Rayban glares shielding her eyes. When he entered the room he wasn't surprised to see the mess, it was routine now! But what he heard was even lamer! Zoya was addressing herself as him, showing off tons of attitude in a manly gesture.

Zoya took off his glares and smirked. Her plan had worked. He finally came looking for his tie! She wondered sometime whether he loved that dirty little tie more than her!

"Oh hello? Ever heard of knocking?!"

"It's my room!"

"OURS, you mean?"

"Yeah whatever!" He shrugged and moved to grab the tie from around her neck.

She jumped to the side, not letting him near her.

"What the-! Give that to me!"

"Not before you answer my question!"

"What question?" He said with a frown.

"Don't you have Androgen production?" She said scratching her head.

"WHAT?!" He was flabbergasted. Androgen, seriously?

"What do you mean by what? Androgen yaar, apne male sex hormone!" She said casually.

He shut his eyes tight and realized what she meant. She was standing there, only in his shirt and tie, wearing nothing below. Obviously he was turned on! But some other important shit had to be taken care of right now! Sex could wait.

"I know what Androgen is! And by the way Mrs. Zoya Asad Ahmed Khan, if I didn't have androgen production you wouldn't be screaming my name all night!" He threw her game back at her and grinned.

"Then why aren't you getting affected by me standing here almost naked?!"

"Because I have a meeting to get to! I'm sorry but it's very important."

Zoya pouted and said, "Fine, I'll give you your tie."

"That's like a good girl!" Asad smiled, she really was a baby. And that was one of the many reasons he loved her.

As he waited for her to remove the tie from around her neck, he was appalled at what trick she was playing again.

"Zoya please don't irritate me!" He said looking away.

Zoya had used that US return wala brain of hers and decided to take off the shirt first and then the tie. What fun! she thought as she saw his expressions change.

"Irriatate? I'm just giving you your tie!" Zoya said innocently as she started unbuttoning the shirt.

"But I-"

"Bhabhi!!!" Asad heard Najma screaming and her foot steps getting louder. He recollected the door being unlocked. Shit! They would tease him for the rest of his life!

He immediately ran to the door and shut it enough only for his head to pop out.

"Bhaijaan? What's wrong with you?" Najma asked him, he looked weird.

"Ehhh..nothing Najma! Why are you here?"

"Bhabhi was going to drop me off to college so.." She said unsure of what she should say.

"Ummm..she's busy! A little busy you know..right now!" He said with a tensed laugh.

"Okay.." Najma raised her brows.

"Just tell her I'll go by myself then!"

"Okay!"

After Najma had left, Asad turned around to see his shirt and tie on the bed. Zoya was dressed in a white kurti as she sat on the bed with her chin being supported by her hands.

Asad saw her and smiled. She had given up. Finally! But sometimes he really wondered, she tried so many different things to spend more time with him. She tried cooking, driving and even seducing for that matter! But what could he do? His life as a businessman was not easy. He had meetings which lasted days, beginning from early morning to late at night, he had no time for family functions, birthdays, anniversaries or special days. As much as he wanted to give her the world, his work demands were too high.

He came and sat next to her as she looked at him with a sad smile.

"You must be thinking I'm crazy, right?"

"Thinking? I know you are!" He said trying to light up the mood.

"So not like what you wanted your wife to be!" She said looking away, wiping that smile off his face.

"Zoya! You know that's not true. I wouldn't have married you if I thought you weren't the one for me!"

"But you don't seem to get affected by me and my tantrums! Like I end up being the fool in the whole play. You leave in the morning at 9 and come home at 10, 12 or even later!"

"So that's my fault right?" He asked her

Zoya was caught off guard. "I didn't mean that Asad! I just..I want to spend more time with you! You know Asiya na?"

"Yes." He said recollecting the name of her new friend.

"You know, her husband's taking her to Singapore for their honeymoon. She was so happy, that smile of hers was..it was beautiful." She said in a small voice.

Asad stared at her. He hadn't even thought of a honeymoon! They got married a few months back and he hadn't even shown her the beautiful sights of Bhopal yet. Even she would've wished to go for a honeymoon! How come it didn't strike him?

"How about Paris?"

"Huh?" She said confused.

"Paris baba! For our honeymoon?" He smiled and winked at her as he saw her face light up with the most beautiful smile ever.

"Really?" She giggled like an excited kid when he nodded. But her smile was wiped off making him frown.

"Asad I didn't mean to hurt you or force you in to taking me out. I was just..I hadn't spoken about this to anyone and today all of it just kinda came out! I'm sorry."

"Yeah..I felt really bad." Asad played along.

"I'm sorry na!" She said with a pout.

"Only on one condition."

"What?" She looked at him expectantly.

"Show me that dimple of yours!" He poked her cheek as she giggled.

"Only if you show me yours!" She showed him her tongue as he smiled and so did she, both flashing their dimples.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you too." He told her kissing her forehead.

"What about your meeting?" Zoya said with a surprised face.

"Not important anymore!" He smirked and took her in a kiss.

This was life. :)
