Eid Mubarak!!!!! Assalamu alayekum everyone!!! I hope you are enjoying your Eid. I have a bad news. My exams preponed. Now instead of august we have them next week. So again I cannot update till the exams end. InshaAllah regular updates from 16 July. Enjoy:)

"Give me some Idea."

"Aman tell me one thing how will we know what one should do when his wife is angry? We are still not married."

"Exactly Aman. For the very first time in his life Afzal is right. How will we know?" Sufyaan said and Afzal narrowed his eyes.

Afzal and Sufyaan are trying to find a way to help Aman. But they still could not come up with something. Their meeting went well but whether they got the deal or not is not yet conformed. In few days they will come to know about it.

"But you can use your common sense Afzal."

"Aman just talk to her."Afzal said.

"He is again right. Whoa Afzal stop before I get a heart attack."Sufyaan joked and Afzal rolled his eyes this time.

"But will she talk to me?"

"Of course she will. Whenever someone fights with Kehara and if that person meets her somewhere all he should do is smile. She cannot resist a smile. But as she is not here call her."Sufyaan said.

"Yeah Aman call her. It's been weeks. More you delay it more problem you will have to face." Afzal said.

"He is right. Again!" Sufyaan said with a fake shocked expression.

"Enough for today sufyaan."

"You can non stop tease us for days but we cannot do that even for few minutes."

"You both fight. I need to go." Aman said standing up.

"Where are you going? India?" Afzal teased.

"No! But it's not a bad idea."

"Where are you going then?"Sufyaan asked.

"You guys forgot I'm going to Arizona. Dadajaan is there, remember. I'm going to bring him back."

"Oh yeah. But why did he go there?" Afzal asked.

"His daughter and my aunt lives there."Aman said and Afzal nodded.

"When are you coming back?"Sufyaan asked.

"I don't know in four to five days. Why?"

"Dad is thinking to call Kehara back. We have to plan your walima remember?"

Aman nodded and said "Then let me know when she is coming back, I will come accordingly."

"You won't call her?"Afzal asked.

"I'm already late so now let her come back and then I will make sure she is mine."

Sufyaan rolled his eyes and said "She is your wife. You already have her."

"Yeah but the dialogue was good."

"Now go or you will miss your flight." Afzal said

"Yeah bye.See you guys soon."

"Bye." Both Aman and Afzal said together.

"Are you sure you will be fine?" Maira asked.

"Yeah I think so." Keraha said.

Kehara is sitting in the living room of her uncle's house with her cousin Maira. As Nani is not well shazia is coming to meet her with her husband. Kehara's uncle tried to stop shazia as Kehara is staying with them and also because Nani stopped talking to shazia after what she did to Kehara. But kehara said her uncle to let her come because she is her Nani as well and she deserves to meet her. But what kehara was not aware was that she will come with her husband and son. They will be there any minute and Maira is trying to help kehara feel better.

"Kehara I'm so sorry."

"Why are you sorry Maira?"

"I don't know. Maybe because you are here without your father and brother so you are our responsibility and this is what we are doing to you. If it was possible I would have never met them again but we see them in every family function and let me tell you it's the most irritating thing on earth to be with them in the same room."

Kehara smiled and said " You love me so much that you don't like people who hurt me?"

Maira nodded.

"Of course Kehara! I love you the most! And besides what they did was wrong."

"Forget and forgive Maira. They are happy in their life and I'm happy in mine."

Maira chuckled and said " Yeah they are happy."

Kehara frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"They are not happy! They have so many problems. Noman just when behind beauty and he totally forgot how liberal Shazia is. Now he wants her to wear abaya and cover but she refuses saying her parents never forced her then who is he to do that."

"Really?" Kehara asked with her eyes wide open to which Maira nodded.

"Not just that. Shazia is always fighting with her mother in-law. Shazia thinks she hates her because you were her first choice. So she is never good to her. And well your aunt is not good to her either as you actually were her first choice. And we all know she loves you so much. So how will she accept Shazia? Your aunt at least tried but you know Shazia. She cannot adjust with anyone."

Kehara listed everything with her eyes wide open.

"I never knew they had so many problems."

"Why will we talk to you about them?"

Kehara turned her face to the other side not able to believe what Maira just said. Kehara always thought Noman and Shazia were happy. She never thought this was possible.

"How can you expect happiness after hurting someone." Maira said.

Before Kehara could reply the door bell rang. They both looked at each other.

"I'm sorry kehara."

"Maira, they don't affect me anymore. And now go and open the door I will go back to my room."

Maira nodded and went to open the room. Kehara went to her room and closed the door. Yes they did not affect her but she don't want to face any awkward situation. Kehara is waiting for Aman's call and she don't understand why he is not calling her. She tried defending him thinking even she is not calling him so she cannot blame him but that didn't help her feel better. She wants to talk to him but she don't want to call him first. She thinks it's his fault so he should call and apologise. But she forgot ego has no place in a relationship. Kehara tried to sleep but Aman was not ready to leave her mind.

Suddenly her Room's door opened and a very angry Maira came in.

"What's wrong?"

"Shazia!"

"What did she do?"

"She is not happy in her life so she don't want anyone else to be happy."

"Maira say it clearly .what did she say? You had a fight with her?"

"I don't know if we can call it a fight but yes I did say her few things that gave her a reality check!"

"Maira now tell me what happened and what did you say?"

"She was saying American people are not good. She doesn't understand why Your father married you to some stranger like that. And yes she was hoping he treats you well."

"She never met Aman and she is passing judgement on him?"

"Only our cousin Shazia can do that!"

" Forget her. She is not that important. Come we will take a nap." Kehara said trying to avoid Shazia and her words.

" I would love to but mom needs help. I came here because I could not take it anymore. But I have to leave now. You are lucky you can sit here!" Maira said and left and kehara smiled shaking her head.

***

When after many failed attempts to sleep Kehara declared she cannot sleep thirsty. She wants some water but she don't want to go out. She closed her eyes again but someone's phone started ringing. She searched for it in her blanket and finally after few seconds she found the phone. It is Maira's phone. Kehara thought she will go to the kitchen and give the phone to Maira. This way she can get some water as well. She got up and left the room. Unfortunately to reach the kitchen you need to pass the living room door. So Kehara thought she will walk really fast so that no one sees her. But when she reached near the room she stopped herself.

"No Maira you won't understand. Americans don't adjust. They believe in girlfriends and love marriage. Kehara and Aman had an arrange married. I'm sure it was against his will. I'm not Kehara's enemy. She is my cousin I'm worried for her. You know Kehara is so simple and modest. In India people don't like such wives how will Aman accept her." Shazia said.

Kehara clenched her fists. She was not planning to go and meet them. But after hearing Shazia insult her and her husband she entered the room.

"Assalamu alayekum." Kehara said.

Shazia and Noman has a surprised expression on their faces. As if they were not expecting kehara to come out. Maira also has the same expression on her face.

"Walekum assalam." Everyone said.

Kehara sat on the couch next to Maira.

"What are you doing here?" Maira whispered.

"Defending my husband." Kehara said and Maira smiled instantly.

"So Shazia how are you?"

"Alhumdulillah I'm fine. What about you?"

"Alhumdulillah I'm fine as well. What is his name?" Kehara asked pointing towards her one year old son who is sitting on her lap.

"Shabaz."

"MashaAllah it's a nice name. So how is life?"

"It's good. Alhumdulillah."

"That's good to hear."

Noman raised his eyebrows this time and Shazia smiled awkwardly.

"How is your life going on? How are you in-laws?"

Perfect question.

"Life is good Alhumdulillah. And my in-laws are amazing."

"Really?" Shazia asked raising her eyebrows as if she don't believe her.

" My mother in-law is really sweet and she loves me like her own daughter. She calls me daily. And she didn't start caring after our Nikha. She use to take care of me and love me ever since I went there."

"Oh so you are her choice?"

"No. I'm Aman's choice. He was the one who asked his parents to ask my dad,my hand in marriage."

Shazia raised her eyebrow.

"And My father in-law is really supportive. I work with him. He never told me to stop working after our Nikha. In fact he always encourages me to work harder. He wants me and his daughter Noor to take over his company after he retires."

"Why will he want you to take over? He has his own son."

"Aman has his own firm. Alhumdulillah. It's not as big as his father's but InshaAllah one day. He works with Bhai."

"Sufyaan started his own firm?" Noman asked.

"Yeah. This is their second firm. First was in London."

Shazia and Noman were quiet for some time. Maira is smiling brightly. Kehara is smiling internally. After a minute of silence Shazia said,

"I'm sure your sister in-law don't treat you well. After all you are her only competition. Who like to share their father's money and company with anyone?"

An other good question

Kehara smiled. " Alhumdulillah Noor is not a typical sister in-law. She is my best friend. We know each other for five years now. She knows everything about me. She was the happiest person when her father said about his wish."

Shazia's face shows dissatisfaction and discomfort.

"Kehara how is Aman bhai's grandfather?" Maira asked. Maira is enjoying it way too much.

Kehara smiled knowing well that Maira is helping her.

"Best grandfather in the world. He made his own grandson suffer because of me. He chose me over him. Because that's what was right."

"Wow MashaAllah. Now tell us about Aman Bhai."

Kehara's smile widened.

"Alhumdulillah. Aman....... I don't know from where to start and where to end. He is caring , loving , sweet and what not. He always makes me smile. Even if I'm angry his thoughts makes me smile. For me he did a lot. Who stops talking to his newly wed wife just for her exams. Just So that she becomes successful in her life. Yes he has flaws. But who is perfect? He is best the way he is." Kehara said with a smile and a different kind of shine in her eyes.

"Oh My God Kehara. You love him so much."

"Yes. I love him." Kehara said and after few seconds realisation hit her. Her eyes widened. She just realised she loves her husband. She smiled brightly.

"Why are you smiling?" Maira asked in confusion.

"Nothing. I have some work. I will meet you all later. " She got up and started walking towards her room.

Everything Kehara said was true. She did not add anything to make her life look good. Mrs. Khan calls her daily and she loves Kehara like her own daughter. Mr. Khan had said about his plan for his company few days before Kehara's exams started. He actually wants to hand it over to his two daughters. He knows how talented and skillful kehara is. And now that she is his daughter in-law he is taking advantage of that. And as Aman has his own firm to look after he thinks the best option is to give it to Kehara and Noor because he has full confidence in them. He knows they can manage the firm. Noor is actually happy about his decision more than jealous. She is proud of her father and is excited to work with kehara.

While talking about how good Aman is kehara realised how much he means to her, How much she admires him ,How much she needs him and how much she loves him. Yes that day his words hurt her but that's fine. It is pack and parcel of a relationship. If we love them then we should forgive them because some times it's difficult to control oneself. During difficult times we should never forget their love.

Kehara was talking about Aman and his family just for show off. Maybe sometimes thinking bad for someone can bring good to you.

In those moments where Kehara was talking about Aman she decided she will call Aman. She came in her room and picked her phone to call him. But even before she could unlock her phone Sufyaan called her.

"Assalamu alayekum Bhai!" Kehara said excitedly.

"Walekum assalam. Kehara , Aman.."

"Finally Mr. Aman decided to talk to me. Give him the phone. Today I will show him what happens when you mess with your wife ." Kehara teased smiling.

"Kehara, Aman was on his way to Arizona and his flight crashed. He is missing."

Or maybe thinking bad for someone never brings good to you........
