"Rumaisa kya tum tayyar ho? "
He shouted from the living area.
"Ye aurtein bhi kabhi time par tayyar nahi ho sakti. "
He looked at his watch and moved towards their room.
"Zeeshan bas paanch minute."
She replied while trying to put on her earrings.
"Aur inke yeh paanch minute bhi kabhi khatam nahi hote. "
He giggled while murmuring and shook his head on thinking how similar girls were. He turned the knob of the door with the smile still lingering on this face. As he entered and saw her standing in front of the mirror, his eyes glued to the figure standing right in front of him. His heart skipped a beat on seeing her.
The light green dress completely complimented her translucent skin and the subtle make up failed to make her look a mother of a two year old.
Zeeshan was awestruck seeing the delightful figure in front of him. His eyes rested on her with a sort of a pleasure.
Rumaisa became consious because of the intense gaze of her charming husband.
"Zeeshan ab aap mujhe nervous kar rahe hai. "
She spluttered.
"Ha.. an.. "
He said coming out of his trance.
"Aap aise kya dekh rahe hai? "
"Kyu ek shauhar apni biwi ko nahi dekh sakta jab wo behad khoobsurat lag rahi ho. "
He asked while making her blush hard.
She immediately started looking downwards and said
"Dekh sakta hai.. "
He smiled at her innocence and stepped forward and wrapped his hands around her waist. She shuddered at his touch. Zeeshan could feel her nervousness and pulled her even closer to himself.
"Rumaisa aaj tum itni khoobsurat lag rahi ho ki jee hi nahi karta tumhe chorun. Can we skip this party? "
He asked looking into her eyes.
"Hume dair ho rahi hai Zeeshan. Aap please chorein mujhe. "
"Kya tumhe mera apne paas hona acha nahi lagta? "
He asked while frowning.
"Maine yeh toh nahi kaha. "
"Toh phir kaunsi biwi apne shauhar ko chorne ko kahegi jab woh usse romantic baatein kar raha ho."
"Zeeshan aap ke liye ye party important hai aur hum ise kaise miss kar sakte hai. Apke best friend ka nikah hai. Biwi ke chakkar mein kya aap dost ko bhul jayenge? "
He loosened his grip on her and left a peck on her forehead.
"I love you Rumaisa."
"Ab chalein? "
She asked.
"Tum humesha is baat ka jawab na dena.Mujhe toh lagta hai tum mujhse mohabbat karti hi nahi. "
"Maine aisa toh nahi kaha. "
"Toh kuch kaha bhi toh nahi. Kaise maan loon ki tum mujhse mohabbat karti ho?"
He said tightening his grip again.
"Papa. "
Just then Maham entered the room looking for Zeeshan and Rumaisa.
Rumaisa smiled and felt happy on escaping from a really miserable situation.
Zeeshan took Maham in his arms and started conversing with her.
"Aaj to maham aap badi pyaari lag rahi hai. Mama ne tayyar kiya apko? "
"Haan."
She had started loving him no doubt but couldn't find the courage to express herself. She had always shown how much she loved him but failed to put the feelings in words.
"Yeh mat samjhna Maham ke ajane se tum bach gayein.Aaj toh tumhe apne dil ki baat kehni hi hogi. "
He whispered.
Rumaisa started playing with the edge of her dupatta in nervousness.
"Chalein. "
"Haan. "
She replied.
It was Zeeshan's best friend's wedding. All the school mates and college friends had got an oppurtunity to have a get together after a really long time.
After greeting all his friends,Rumaisa joined the wives of Zeeshan's friends.
Zeeshan had his eyes stuck on his wife.He was still
in awe of her when one of his friends approached him and said
"Aaj toh tumhe ek special song gana hi hoga Zeeshan.Bohot time hua tumhari awaz sune."
"Maine bohot pehle hi gana chod dia hai.
Main nahi.. "
He spoke up.
"Gaa dijiye na"
Said Rumaisa when she saw how eager everyone was to listen to him.
He couldn't refuse her, he took a deep sigh and took the microphone and said
"This one is for all the lovers out there."
Janam janam janam saath chalna yunhi
Kasam tumhe kasam aake milna yahin
He went close to Rumaisa making her a bit uneasy.
Ek jaan hai bhale do badan ho judaa
Meri hoke humesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna alvida
He sang while holding her hand.
Meri subah ho tumhi aur tumhi shaam ho
Tum dard ho tum hi aaraam ho
Meri duaaon se aati hai bas ye sadaa
Meri hoke humesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna alvida
He swung her around and pulled her against his chest and slowly tucked the strand of her that interuppted his view of his beautiful wife.
Teri baahon mein hai mere dono jahaan
Tu rahe jidhar meri jannat wahin
Jal rahi agan hai jo ye do tarfa
Na bujhe kabhi meri mannat yahi
Tu meri aarzu, main teri aashiqui
Tu meri shayari, main teri mausiqi
Rumaisa continued shocking his husband. He never expected her wife to be that bold. He never thought she could convey all this infront of a bunch of people. He smiled noticing that only love can make one do such unexpected stuffs.
Talab talab talab bas teri hai mujhe
Nason mein tu nasha banke ghulna yunhi
Meri mohabbat ka karna tu haq ye adaa
Meri hoke hamesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna Alvida...
He sang pulling her closer and tighter this time. Rumaisa couldn't help but blush because of the heavy gaze of her husband.
Meri subah ho tumhi aur tumhi shaam ho
Tum dard ho, tum hi aaraam ho
Meri duaaon se aati hai bas ye sadaa
Meri hoke humesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna Alvida...
He finished the song looking deep into her eyes and everyone broke out in applause.Thereafter, everyone indulged into complementing the couple. While everyone was busy doing so, he signalled her to leave so that he could spend some moments of happiness with his wife explaining to her how important this confession was.
