ASIM'S POV:

I slightly opened my eyes due to sunlight falling on my face and also because of a little weight on my chest and what I saw immediately brought a smile on my face. I saw my little wife's head on my chest while her hands hugged my waist. She was cuddling me like a teddy bear and I was all happy to be one for her. I tucked the stray strand of hair that was hiding her face, slowly behind her ear not to wake her up. All the scenes from yesterday started replaying in my head and I am all sure that there's no way I can't love this girl in front of me. She's everything I've ever needed. I had decided never to fall in love but she gave me all the reasons to fall for her, and now I was head over heels. I will make her feel all the love now. Everything that was wrong between us, I will make it right.

I was still admiring her beautiful face while caressing her cheek slowly to not wake her up when I saw her moving a little. With the fear of being caught, I pretended to be asleep. I felt her movements increasing hence i realized she was awake. Though my eyes were closed, I could sense her movements. She was close to my face, VERY CLOSE.

AAYAT: good morning husband..! you look soo cute and innocent when you're asleep. I hope you remain romantic the way you were last night. hehe..!

Ohh my wife likes being romantic.. I see. That's a valuable piece of info.

I felt her lips on my forehead, then on my nose, then on both my cheeks and finally on my chin. I am sure as hell I was blushing. Now I couldn't control anymore and opened my eyes only to meet her shocked face, which was veryy verry close to mine.

AAYAT: y-you w-were a-awake?

ASIM: what do you think wifey?

AAYAT: that's cheatingg!! *whining*

ASIM: no its not!! you know what's cheating?

AAYAT: *annoyed tone* what?

ASIM: you gave me soo many kisses, while I was asleep. Basically you took advantage of me. Don't I deserve to give you one kiss atleast?

AAYAT: what?! noppee!! naahh!! I am not allowing you to do that after i've embarrassed myself in front of you..!

ASIM: heyy that's cheating! I won't let you get up from the bed until you let me kiss you!

AAYAT: lol in your dreams.

With that she tried to get up, well you're mistakened wifey, this husband of yours doesn't spend 1 complete hour in the gym just to make fun of himself, time to show you my stamina.

Before she could get away from the bed, I held her wrist and pulled her by her waist due to which she landed on the bed with a jerk. I hovered over her and pinned both her hands to the bed with just one hand of mine.

ASIM: aww what did you think? that you could run away from me that easily? Not possible wifey, now gimme my kiss like a good girl.

AAYAT: I-I a-already g-gave y-you s-so m-many.

ASIM: you're right, then lemme give you one.

With that, I started leaning closer to her face while she just closed her eyes, she started taking heavy breaths and I would lie if i say I didn't like the effect I had on her. I leaned down slowly and kissed her forehead with all the love I have for her. She opened her eyes and blinked them while looking at me with confusion.

ASIM: I would never do something that makes you uncomfortable dear wife. I'll do everything with you, but only with your consent.

A small, shy smile appeared on her face while I connected our foreheads. We both were lost in the moment. So many feelings untold yet they were felt. We were communicating, but not with words. This moment was beautiful and I would do anything for it to last. Just when we were lost in the moment, we heard a knock on the door.

ASIM: *irritated* who's that?

MAID: chote sahab, badi dadi ne kaha hai aaj zain baba aur rehmat bibi ki shaadi ki rasme karni hai toh aap aur choti bhabijaan jaldi tayyaar hoke aajaye.

(master, grandma has told that they'll perform zain's and rehmat's after marriage rituals today so you and sis in law should get ready and come down early.)

ASIM: jii, badi daadi se kehdijiye ki hum aajayenge.

(yes, inform grandmom that we'll be there.)

AAYAT: time to end your morning romance dear husband, people need us down there.

ASIM: well, we still have the night tho. *smirk*

I loved teasing her. Her face looked like cute tomato while blushing.

AAYAT: aligarh ki hawa ne besharam kardiya hai aapko. hatiya humme jaana hai.

(aligarh's air has turned you into a shameless man. move aside, I have to go)

She pushed me gently and ran away to bathroom as if I would eat her. Well I would one day but not so early.

CONCENTRATE.

With that, i selected my clothes for the day and went to the spare bathroom to get ready as well.

TIME SKIP

DOWNSTAIRS IN THE GARDEN

I went down to meet everyone in the garden as we were already late. It's not that I didn't wait for aayat, I called for her from outside the room but she told me that she'll be there in a few mins and I should go ahead first.

Everyone was gathered there and badi daadi smiled looking at me while I returned her smile. Normally I would've hugged her but since everyone was there and it was already getting late so i chose to settle with a smile for now. Speaking of which, where's my wife?? she's taking too long.

My eyes were looking for her here and there continuously while I heard someone speaking in my ear.

AAYAT: looking for me shohar?

I turned around to look at her. I can just look at her all day and not get tired. I would recite her name beside the word heavenly for my whole life and I might actually attain salvation.

ASIM: hayee. sabke saamne maarne ka iraada hai?

(damn, you wanna kill me in front of everyone?)

AAYAT: nope, I would like to do that in private better.

I just chuckled at her cute bold nature and shook my head while she gave me a wide smile and looked in the front.

BADI DADI: okay so since everyone is here, I would like to tell you all that all the after marriage rituals of zain and rehmat will take place today. We'll begin with the ring finding ceremony, and then we'll perform all the others.

I turned my head to the side to look at aayat and I saw her face had a sad smile on it. That was when it hit me. fuck. I had refused to perform the rituals with her.

Well, I can do it now. we'll have more fun performing them here rather than back in bangalore.

ASIM: umm badi daadi, we haven't performed our after marriage rituals as well, how about we join zain and rehmat today?

BADI DADI: ofc! that's even better!! we'll enjoy even more now.

I just nodded with a wide smile and looked at my side just to find my wife's face beaming with genuine happiness. she looked at me and muttered a small thank you. To which I replied my kissing the back of her hand. Well, ofc no one else noticed it.

We were now settled in the middle of the garden. me and zain on one side and aayat and rehmat opposite to us. We had two bowls filled with something that looked like milk and rose petals in it.

BADI DADI: ok so what you've to do is, we'll drop the ring into the bowl and each one of you will have to look for it, you'll be given 3 chances and the one who gets the ring the maximum no. of times wins.

ALIYA: bhabis, you've to win. I know both of you have got my bhais wrapped around your fingers but still, victory needs to fall in our basket.

ABBU: zain, asim. there's no way we can lose. izzat ka sawal hai.

(its the matter of our respect.)

AMMI: aap toh uss din bhi haare the jis din hum yeh rasam kar rahe the.. aaj bhi aapke bete hamari bahuo se haarjaayenge dekhna.

(you lost the day when we were performing this ritual. today you're sons will lose to our daughters-in-law. I bet.)

Abbu had a traumatized look on his face while all the ladies laughed out loud. Not gonna lie, i was trying hard to control my laughter as well.

keyword: trying.

ZAIN: there's no way we're losing this. We'll see who'll rule this relation.

REHMAT: ohh sure husband. I'll show you how good I am gonna rule this relation.

BADI DADI: alright, let's start.

with that, she dropped the ring into the bowl and zain and rehmat beside us started looking for the ring as if their life depended on it but i was taking my own time. Let my wife win the first one. She has control over me anyways.

ALIYA: first round, aayat bhabhi and rehmat bhabhi both win!! yess goo onn!! come onn we can do thiss!

ZAIN: I just let you win in the first round out of pity. See how i win the whole game now.

REHMAT: whatever makes you sleep well tonight dear husband..!

They both were in their own competition while I was enjoying seeing my wife smile. Well let's tease her a little. It won't be fun if she wins it completely will it?

I increased my pace in the second round and it wasn't even difficult, I had the ring in my hand.

ALIYA: second round! asim bhai and rehmat bhabi. Zain bhai you're a loser. there was no point in playing the game.

Zain just rolled his eyes and got up while I could sense competitiveness in my wife's eyes. It's on then little wife.

The ring was dropped for the last round while both of was were trying hard to win. Well i was just pretending to try tho. Then suddenly, something crossed my mind and I smiled at actually implementing that thought. I moved my hand faster and got the ring while everyone cheered for me. I could see disappointment in her eyes, but what I did next made her eyes bulge out.

I slowly pulled her hand in mine and placed the ring in her hand.

ASIM: I hereby, gladly give you the control of this relationship, mrs. ayat asim aman. I would love to be in this relationship no matter how you lead it.

I could hear hooting in the background while she blushed. A small, happy and genuine smile appearing on her face.

ALIYA: bhabi.. what have to done to bhai? is he even my bhai?

REHMAT: that's the power of love aliya, you won't get it. *teasing*

Everyone was continuously teasing us while I enjoyed it. But I pitied her. She was completely shy and blushing.

BADI DADI: ok now.. everyone stop. We need to proceed with the next ritual. In the next one, each one of the two pairs are supposed to give a nickname to your partner which only you will be allowed to use. But you'll have to present it in a unique way which also shows why you chose that name for them.

Well, this was an interesting one. But I know exactly what to name her and how to present it.

BADI DADI: asim, are you ready beta?

ASIM: yes dadi.

BADI DADI: ok then, go on.

ASIM: zindagi mei na chahat thi koi, na tha jeene ka aasra..

meri zindagi mei aake tune khushiyon ka rang bhardaala.

Waise toh bohot saare naam hai teri iss roshni ko jatane ke liye..

Lekin noori se behtar koi naam nahi, teri ehmiyat meri andheri zindagi mei batane keliye.

ALIYA: woww bhaii shayari and all huh. Now i'm really excited for bhabi. Come on bhabi...!

AAYAT: Duniya ki har khushi se badh kar hai aapka saaya mere sar par.

Bas aapki zindagi ko roshan karun mai din bhar.

Noori aap kehte hai mujhe lekin hai sukoon mehsoos karta mera zehan,

Jab aap hai mere rakhwaale, mere pyaare aman.

ZAIN: I give up. this is cheating. these people are speaking like professional poets and you expect us to make a fool of ourselves?

BADI DADI: zain drame band karo aur batao.

(zain stop doing drama and tell us.)

We all were looking at him curiously while he got up and went towards rehmat.

He sat in front of her and passed her a gentle smile while she looked completely confused.

He took her hand in his and applied something that looked like red color on her hands and took the print of it on his handkerchief and wrote down barkat on it.

ZAIN: you're the reason why I have peace in my life. You'll be the reason for our life to be successful in the future. You'll be our barkat, my dear wife. You're my dear barkat.

We all just awed at the couple while rehmat couldn't stop smiling.

ALIYA: okay bhabi now show us what you got.

She shyly removed a locket from around her neck and opened the pendant which had their photo in it.

REHMAT: da'ud. It means a beloved friend. I always want you near my heart as you're the most beloved friend i've ever had. And now that you're my husband as well, I want to always keep you near my heart. Even while we fought in the past, you made sure not to hurt me. No matter how much we fought, you never let someone else fight with me. You're love always was portrayed when you returned to me to apologize after every fight and I promise, in future, no matter how much we fight, I won't sleep without making up with you.

There were soo much of emotions in the air while we looked at the both of them. Our parents looked at the four of us with contented and proud eyes. Then my eyes met hers. My comfort. The light to my dark world. MY NOORI. And she called me her saviour, her safe place. HER AMAN.

We were happily looking into each other's eyes while the most annoying voice broke out in the air.

ZOYA: awww I also want to be a part of atleast one ritual!! Asim come on we will ask badi dadi if she knows a ritual in which we both could take part together.

This lady won't let me be happy with my wife. Wife, yeah.

I looked at her direction while I saw her eyes full of fire already.

YA ALLAH HELP ME.
