He looked at her while covering her mouth with his hand.
She was wearing teal abhaya with the same color hijab. He saw her for the first time in abhaya.

He removed his hand and said,

" I want to talk to you. "

" I don't want to. I don't know you. How will I know if you are not the goon? " She said.

" I am not. Remember, you saved my life on your graduation day? "

" Ohh... Sorry. I had an accident few months ago and I don't remember few events of my life. "

" Toh aap India se Dubai operation k liye aayi thi? "

" Nhi. Dubai mein meri job lag gyi thi hospital mein. Bas usi silsile mein. Abhi meri training jab rhi hai for medical to recall everything i studied in my college. "

" Ohh, okay. "

" Aapko India ka kuch bhi yaad nhi hai? "

" Bahut saari baatein mujhe meri friend Bahar se batayi. Vj sir k apartment mein main rehti thi. Aur Bashir Sir k foundation se maine apni medical complete ki thi. "

" Woh Bashir main hun. " He said disheartedly as how will he confess his love. But he did.

" Ohh aap hai...Bahut bahut shukriya aapka. Aapki wajah se main doctor ban payi... Jab Mera koi na tha, tab aapke foundation ne meri bahut help ki... "

" Main aapse nikah Krna chahta hun. " He said and she sat on a ground full of grass, shocked.

His mother, sister and Vj came to her.
They tried to make her agree for nikkah.

" Toh... Woh Mera khawab. Woh isiliye mujhe Dubai aane ka kehta tha. " Afsha whispered.

" Kaisa khawab, beti? " Ammi asked.

" I wanted to get married in Mecca and Medina and do Umrah. "

They said, "  MashaAllah " and smiled.

" You have chosen the best one. " Salma whispered to Bashir and he smiled.

" No. Mera career. I will not leave it no matter what... "

" Bhabhi doctor hai. " Salma told her mother.

" Aapko career chhodna ka koi nhi bolega... " Bashir made a promise to her.

" Iske Marhoom Abba ka ek hospital hai yahan. Aap wahan kaam kr sakti hai. " Ammi said to support her.

Afsha looked at her and smiled.

" Meri kuch shartein hai. " She said and looked at Bashir who was sitting in front of her on ground.

" Mujhe saari shartein qabool hai. "

" Bhai, pehle sun toh lein aap saari shartein. "

" Zarurat nhi. " Bashir said still looking at her eyes.

She asks, " Even if I ask you to die for me? "
He smiles and looking at her eyes he says,
" Qabool hai..."

And her heart beat changed... She felt something...

She said, " Pehli shart... Mere baad 2nd 3rd 4th marriage nhi... Sirf main... Qabool hai? "

" Qabool hai..." He replied.

" 2nd shart... Meri career pe koi aanch nhi aani chahiye... I'll never stop it no matter what and the money I earn will depend on me if I want to save, if I want to spend or give it to you, your ammi aur sis... Qabool hai? "

" Qabool hai "

" 3rd shart... Mujhe kabhi bhi yeh ehsaas nhi hone denge ki Maine aapse nikkah karke galti kr di...you will never let me regret our nikkah for a single moment... Qabool hai? "

" Qabool hai... "

The way he was accepting all her conditions while looking at her in calm loving way, took her heart away.
They smile with little tears in eyes... It was a happy moment for them.

" Yeh sirf main hun ya kisi aur ko bhi yeh joke aa rha hai dimaag mein ki kya aapka nikkah ho gaya? 3 qabool hai bol diye aapne toh..." Salma asked and they laughed and nodded in denial.

" Aap haste hue pyaari lagti hai. " Bashir whispered to her. She smiles and looks down out of shyness...

She looks at him and his mom and asks, " Kya aap(Bashir) kabhi mujhe apne ammi se compare karnege? Kya aap(Ammi) mujhe woh banne pe majboor karnegi jo main hun hi nhi...except tab jab main khud maanu main galat thi... ?

Both mother and son denied it.

" Kya aap apne bete ki zyada time spent with me se dukhi hongi? " She asked his mother.
" Nhi beti... " 

" Aap dono ek saath jab tak time spend nhi karnege to ek dusre se mohabbat ka agaaz kaise hoga..."
She smiles and looks at him...

" 4th shart...aap Saturday afternoon k baad kaam pe nhi jayenge...Sunday raat tak...Monday to Thursday... Friday evening to Saturday afternoon aap kaam karnege... Friday ki namaz aap kabhi nhi chhodenge...
Aur Saturday Eve se Sunday Tak... family time hoga... Usmein ek din aap hum sab k saath time spend karnege... Aur thoda waqt sirf hum dono...qabool hai? "
Bashir was surprised with such a condition but he was happy that she was making it compulsory to have spend some time with his family. He smiled and said,
" Qabool hai..."

" 5th shart... Aapki kamai ..main nhi poochungi... Pr usmein se thoda hissa ammi ko aur pocket money aap apni behn ko denge jo ki Ghar k kharch aur  coaching kharch k alwa hoga.... Qabool hai?
" Waise toh yeh sab main abhi bhi karta hun...
Toh Qabool hai... " He replied with a smile and Salma side hugged him.

" Pr tab bhi main kaise nikkah kar lun aapse... " Said, Afsha.

" Ab Kya hua Beti? " Asks, Ammi.

" Aap sab achche hai...pr main asaani se trust nhi krti kisipe bhi... Aap sab jhoot bhi bol sakte hai... "

There were tears in her eyes.

" Nhi... Main Aisa nhi hun..aap khud mehsoos karengi yeh baat... " Bashir tried to assure her.

" Mujhe trust hone mein time lagega...yeh shart nama aap print krenge...usmein aapke signature honge aur mere... With witness...aur yeh sab k baad nikkah pe sign hoga...
Qabool hai? "

" Ji bilkul Qabool hai meri hone wali begum... " The last words made her shy and she smiled looking at her hands.

" Agar aap abhi akeli hai toh humare saath humare Mahal chaliye. Wahan aap humare saath kuch waqt bitayega... "

Afsha first hesitated but agreed when Bahar and her husband were also invited on call.

" Ammi, agar aap bole toh main Afsha ko apna Mahal dikhana chahta hun. "

" Ji zarur. Jaye aap dono. "

He showed her the hall, the garden, the TV area, gaming area, gym and he was taking her to show the museum and rooms when she said,

" Mujhe Darr lag rha hai. "

" Kis baat ka darr? Main hun na yahan pe aapke saath... "

" Iss baat pe nhi... "

" Phir? " He asked and stood in front of her.

" Koi mujhe gold digger na bulaye. " She pouted and he assured her with smile and said,

" Aapke shartnama se pata chalta hai ki aap waisi nhi hai.. Aapne khud k liye nhi managa.. balki aap meri ammi aur meri behn m liye maang rhi thi... Mujhe aur kya chahiye... Chaliye ab iss baat ki chinta na kare " He smiled but she was still sad.

" Kuch aur bhi baat hai? " He asked.

She gulped down and said,

" Ji. Woh.. hum ek saath... ek bistar pe kaise so sakte hai... " She whispered but he heard her.

He said, " Aap apni baat khulke bol sakti hai. Aapka view Janna mere liye bahut important hai. Rahi aapki woh pareshaani, I know you will be uncomfortable... It won't be like that... If you want...i can sleep on couch or other room.. until you agree with it."
She nods and smiled.

He asked,  " Aur koi masla? "

" Nhi. " She replied and they started walking to the museum.

" He is my great grand father. He is my grand father. And he is my father. She is the mother of my great grand father. She  was the queen and she... " Bashir continued telling her the story when she interrupted.

" Aapse ek baat poochun? "

" Ji. " He said and looked at her.

She walked towards her and asked in whisper,

" Aap yeh nikah itni jaldi kyun chahte hai? Aap wait kr sakte the kuch mahine. Aapne parso ka din chuna hai isiliye pooch rhi hun. Koi khaas din hai woh? "

" Woh isiliye kyunki Main koi galat kadam nhi uthana chahta... Aur yeh aapke liye nhi..aapke saath walon k liye hai... Jo bhi aapko paana chahta ho uske raaste wahin band karna chahta hun... "

She nods and he says,

" Bura mat maniyega pr main bhi Mere taraf se bhi ek shart likhwana chahta hun main...
Wahi jo aapne likhwaya tha... Sirf main... Main wahi likhwana chahta hun..."

" Main kabhi Aisa nhi karungi ..log bhale hi humara beech mein aag daalne k liye fake lover bana de...pr yeh wada hai mera nikkah k baad .. main sirf aapki... "
He nods and smiles...

" Aapki tarah ab mujhe bhi shart mein yeh likhwana hai... Aur phir nikkah... "  She nods and they tour the whole mansion... He started telling her his childhood stories and when he asks hers...she narrated them...

It was their nikkah time and they both said,

" Qabool Hai "

" Qabool hai "

" Qabool hai "

They started to get along and their love story was remarked in golden words as the pair made in heaven...

The End!
