The next day, he felt his whole body was paining. This couch feels so much uncomfortable to him. He wondered how she was sleeping in it since their marriage. It's almost a month and a half since they were married. Its because of him. He was behaving like a selfish person. He didn't thought about her for a once.

She was looking at him secretly. The way he was sitting in couch it's sure that he didn't get a good sleep there. A pang o guilt hits her. She felt bad for him. This couch isn't enough for him to sleep. If she wants then they could share the bed but it's his order to her that they've to maintain a very 4 feet distance with eachother in this room.

He saw him lying on the couch again with a tired face.

'Bichare ki pith akaad gayi hogi',she thought. She was really feeling bad for this but She've to do this. To make him understand what she was bearing.

Tit for Tat.

Finally she get out of the bed. Taking her cloths she Headed towards the washroom.
When she came out of the washroom and looked at his sleeping figure. Approaching near him she lightly patted his shoulder.

"Murtasim utho"

He startled for a moment and opened his eyes. He was still Looking sleepy.

"Hmm... Bolo kya hua?", he said while rubbing his eyes.

"Bed pe jaa kar so jao. Main niche jaa rahi hun", she uttered while leaving.

Holding his pillow he headed towards the bed. Throwing the pillow on the bed he sleeped on his stomach snuggling his face on the pillow.

She peecked through the door and smiled lightly looking at him. He was looking too cute yet hot at the same time. His messy hairs and sleepy eyes, damn his morning voice, she was again in love with him. No matter what the situation is but she just can't deny the fact that her only belonged to him sinch  she understood what love actually is.

******
It was first time when he noticed a very sweet smell of levender and coconut. He gets to know that he was sleeping in her pillow. It was first time he noticed her perfume.

"It smells good", he said.

His heart was want to grab her in his strong arms and wanna breathe in her smell. She really smells good. He just wanted to feel her presence near him. Her soft lips and her soft skin.Slapping him mentally for thinking all this he get up from the bed.

After brushing his teeths and taking  a shower he wore a grey coloured salwar kameez. Applying his favorite perfume he combed his hairs umpteenth times.

Self obsessed af.

He came downstairs and noticed her talking and laughing with  marium. He noticed a thing that whenever she was with marium she was happy like before. That carefree meerab.

"Assalamualaikum maa saab", he greeted his mother Coughing her attention towards her.

"Walaikum Assalam beta", maa begum replied with a smile."Sab breakfast karte hain saath mein chalo", saying this maa begum walked away to attend a phone call.

Lifting her eyes she looked at him for a moment before lowering her gaze. Her eyes fell on his hand. He didn't bandaged his wound, it's recovered now but still the cut was looking deep.

"Kuch bolna hai?", she heard his voice and came out of the trance.

"Hmm?"

"Kya hua hai? Pareshan kyun lag rahi ho?", he asked bending towards her to make an eye contact.

"Bandage nhi ki?"

"Aise hi thik ho jayega", he replied.

"Uhhmmm", they heard marium.

"Kya?", murtasim asked.

"Yeh humare ghar ke living room jaisa nhi lag raha hai bhai? Aap ne apne room ka nasha kab badla?", he understood his sister's teasing. As marium recived a glare from her brother she leave the place after stammering a sorry.

"We should go", meerab said.

"Hmm chalo"

He pull a chair for her for the very first time. She was surprised a little with hus changed behaviour but didn't said anything. Because she knows that they will end up with arguing infront of everyone.

They were having breakfast when Murtasim suddenly said,

"Maa saab next week main aur meerab bahar jaa rahe hain".

"Haan toh shouk se jao. Tumhari biwi hai ghumo uske sath kisne mana kiya hai", maa begum said with a smile.

"Umm..hmm bhai. Ghumne jaa rahe hain ki...", marium said with a teasing smile.

"Maar khaogi marium tum. Maa saab aap kuch bolengi isse", murtasim said with an irritated face.

"Marium chup chap khana khao samjhi", maa begum scolded her.

Marium's focus shifted on her plate. On the other side haya's face turn violet. Sje was looking like a lizard. Throwing a glance on meerab she made a face.

"Excuse me"

Murtasim excused himself to attend a phone call. Marium took this as an opportunity to tease her beloved sister in law.

"Bhabi aap log honeymoon pe kahan jaa rahe hain waise?", marium asked her in a
Casual tone.

Meerab choked on her morning tea. She started coughing.

"Thik hain aap? Bhabi pani pi lijiye thoda sa"

"No thanks ... I'm always"

"Aab bolo kahan jaa rahe hain aap log?"

"Woh pata nhi marium. Murtasim ko pata hai isse pucho"

Haya was fuming and jealousy with tthis news.

"Baatein baad mein hoti rahengi tum logo ki pehle khana khao", they heard maa begum.

Murtasim came there.

"Kiska call tha?", maa begum asked him.

"Rohail ne call kiya tha.... Tickets book karne ke bare mein baat kar raha tha", he said.

"Accha thik hai aab kha lo kuch"

He nodded his head a sat down in hia place to eat his breakfast.

"Saba ne bataya hum jaa kis khandar mein rahe hain?", she asked as they both entered in their room.

"France jaa rahe hain", he replied.

"Oh... Valence, Paris, Arles or Lyron?", she asked.

"Paris"

Saying this he walked towards his study room. She followed him.

"Ticket toh book ho jayega par visa?"

"Mera ek dost hai woh 4-5 din mein done karwa dega visa... Aur Tickets maine book kar di hain", he said taking a file from the selve.

"Okay"

"Mall chali Jana marium ko sath le kar. Agar kuch khareedna  ho toh", he uttered giving his card to her.

"Mujhe tumhare paise nhi chaiye thank you"

"Okay", he said. He felt bad that she didn't took his card and refused to use his money too.

Taking his blazer and some important files he left the room. After some times she asked marium to join her in shopping, who agreed happily. She also asked haya to join them but refused by making a ready manhoos face.

"Chalein bhabi?", marium said while coming downstairs.

"Maa begum ko bol dete hain ke hum nikal rahe hain", meerab said.

"Haan chaliye"

She knocked the door to catch maa begum's attention.

"Andar aao meerab", she heard maa begum's voice.

"Woh maa begum main aur Marium thoda sa market jaa rahe hain", she informed.

"Thik hai jao. Aur murtasim kahan hai?"

"Woh toh kuch files sath mein le kar office nikal gaya", meerab said.

"Woh sath nhi jaa raha shopping pe?"

"Nhi", she uttered.

"Thik hai tum dono jao. Jo mann kare khareed lena dono", maa begum said with a bright smile.

As meerab left for Mall with marium and the driver, maa begum dials her beloved son's number.

"Kahan ho?"

"Kahan matlab wk meeting hai wahi attend karne jaa raha hun"

"Apni bichari biwi ko akele shopping pe bhej diya aue office mein jaa rahe ho. Abhi ke abhi market ke taraf niklo tum", maa  begum said.

"Marium gayi hai toh uske sath"

"Meri baat manne se inkar karoge aab tum Murtasim. Yeh maine reh gaye hain mere"

"Accha jaa raha hun"

"Thik hai"

She cut the call. Maa begum smile proudly. She knows how to blackmail him.
And her plan works.

"Bhabi hum log apki shopping ke liye aye hain. Aap khud Kuch kyun nhi le rahi hain yaar"

"Bas aise hi"

"Wait main choose karti hun aap yaheen raho", saying thus marium walked towards the other section. Meerab's eyes flickered with a strange emotion as she saw someone coming towards her.

"Haan mujhe kuch shirts lene the toh socha mall chala aaun. Tum log bhi yaheen the toh main idhar aa gaya", he tell her a lie, a white lie.

"Aur koi dikh raha hai? Obviously tumhein puch raha hun yaar", he uttered.

She saw murtasim coming towards them holding a red coloured ankle length frock.

"Yeh accha lagega"

'Murtasim ko aaj kya hua hai? Subha se ajeeb behave kar raha hai' meerab thought in her mind.

"Hmm?", she uttered.

"Bhabi you should buy this.  Yeh bhi accha hai"

"Haan.. Thik hai".

"Apka bill pay ho chuka hai ma'am"

As she heard, she looked at murtasim. this man is really something else.

After completing their dinner they entered in their room. Meerab took her pillow and walked towards the couch.

"Wahan kahan jaa rahi ho?", he asked.

"Sone", she replied.

Placing her pillow on the couch she sat on it. He glanced at her for some times.

"Tum bed pe so jao. Main couch pe so jaunga"

"Yeh tumhare liye uncomfortable hai. Tum so jao tumhare bed pe", she uttered and laid down on the couch.

"But..."

"Good night... Lights off kar dena", she interrupted him in between. Covering her face with the blanket she fall asleep.

"Oh khudaya", he sighed.

He was feeling something strange. His heart was racing this time.
