AAYAT'S POV:

Today was the absolutely perfect day. The picnic was going on great and I was loving each and every part of it. And the reason behind me loving every moment of this was my husband, I can't believe it. I just can't believe my life was going on so beautiful. I mean who would think we would be where we are today, the point where this relationship stood at the start, no one would tell we would last more than a month. But this was the beauty of arranged marriages, we were determined to make it work. If not make it work, we were determined atleast to not break it, this is what I think, purely my views, need not match with others.

My husband has been the dream man about whom I used to dream once. He was everything I've ever wanted in my husband. He's caring, romantic, teases me sometimes but knows his limits. And what he did today made me feel that he belonged to me. I've seen men telling how their wives belonged to them, but mine just showed the whole world out their that he was mine and mine alone. The way he made that chipkali realize that no matter what, he'll be there where I am spoke of the love he had for me.

I would love a real confession tho. Every girl would like that. But It's okay if he doesn't confess to me. His actions and little gestures tell everything about what he feels towards me. The way he holds my hand, the way he kisses my forehead, the way he kisses the back of my palm, as if I was the princess of a kingdom, He's definately what I've always wanted. Right now, it was evening and we were sitting under a tree, his head on my lap while he was laying down on the grass, our hands interwined, as he played with my fingers, occasionally kissing the back of my palm. He treasured me and I treasured him as well. We could be the live example of a successful arranged marriage couple to this generation that believed in the notion that arranged marriages are meant to fail. No, they could be as beautiful and as romantic as a love marriage, even more if possible. I was smiling looking at him while he was staring at me as well. I couldn't hold back and planted a gentle kiss on his forehead. He displayed a wide smile and pulled my cheeks. This is how we were when around each other, all goofy and romantic and what not. I was meant to be his, he was meant to be mine, we were meant to be each others'.

ASIM: noori, I won't let you forget today, I'll make it so special. I promise.

AAYAT: everyday I spend with you is an immortal memory in my conscience aman, you made it very beautiful.

ASIM: *wide smile* You haven't even witnessed the best part yet.

what is he talking about?

AAYAT: what are you talking about-

ALIYA: bhaii let's goo! we're getting late.

ASIM: yes.. I am leaving, you get your bhabi ready.

ALIYA: leave it to us bhai, we'll transform your princess into your queen and give her to you.

AAYAT: *confused frown* what are you guys even speaking about?? tell me-

ALIYA: offo bhabi, why so many questions. You'll see it when the time comes.

AAYAT: but I want to know-

REHMAT: one more word aayat, and I'll tell what a good pair of artists we have in our family *smirk*

She was blackmailing me, traitor!

AAYAT: okay okay I am coming, but aman where are you going?

ASIM: to a place which will forever be the most beautiful memory in our mind.

I was confused as hell but aliya and rehmat di pulled me towards a cab while aman and zain bhai left in the car.

AAYAT: atleast now tell me why you guys have kidnapped me?

REHMAT: well you're already very beautiful but that romantic husband of yours has prepared something special for you and wants you to dress up for it. So he's selected the dress for you and practically begged us to help you in getting ready.

AAYAT: *shock* he begged in front of you people??

ALIYA: trust me bhabi, only you have the capability to make my brother kneel down for you.

I blushed on her statement and smiled as well. Well that's kinda true I guess. But I was sure as hell, that I would make sure to never make him beg, he was a king and needed to be treated like one. If he was on his knees, then I would kneel down too. None of us was above or below each other, we were two halves of a beautiful story, and neither of us could be any less important.

I came out of my thoughts when the cab stopped and I looked through the window only to find a hotel, correction, five star hotel. We need to have a talk on him spending so much money. Well I know he can afford but still. We all came out of the cab and entered the hotel. I was just looking around the lobby in awe as rehmat di and aliya collected the key. They took me to a room with them and closed the door behind.

REHMAT: all right princess, ready to become the queen of your king?

I gave out a proud smile and replied.

AAYAT: totally!

ALIYA: alright then.. let's get to action.

They made me sit on the stool in front of the dresser which had so many cosmetics on it, I didn't even know what they were.

AAYAT: what are all these for?

REHMAT: make up. But don't worry, we won't use all that on you.

AAYAT: why?

ALIYA: *chuckle* because we know you hate heavy make up and your husband has strictly warned us not to make you uncomfortable and make you wear only the things that you permitted.

I chuckled a little at his action. Typical asim aman. my asim aman.

REHMAT: you've got our bhai whipped for you mrs. aayat asim aman *giggling*

AAYAT: well, its mutual you see.

They both hooted while continuing with whatever they were doing to my face. But I wasn't feeling uncomfortable. It felt good to be pampered, and all thanks to my king. I can't wait to see you aman, all I want right now is you.

ALIYA: all done. allah kasam bhabi, any man would be whipped for you. Bhai got lucky.

REHMAT: kaala teeka lagalo, nazar lagjaayegi aur aapke shohar humme zimmedaar thehraayenge. *teasing*

(put a black dot on. If any sinister eye falls on you, then you're husband will hold us responsible.)

I just chuckled at them while they went inside the bathroom and came out with something that looked like an outfit.

REHMAT: your husband has specially got it designed by his best friend for you, and he forced him to do this in mere 2 days, hope you like it.

I took it out of the cover in which it was stored and I was completely awestruck. It was a saree in dull white color with a lot of sparkle. It was gorgeous. Very beautiful. I didn't have words to describe how beautiful it was. I was lost in admiring the saree but both rehmat di and aliya pushed me inside the bathroom to get ready.

I wore the saree and came out of the bathroom while adjusting the pleats a bit, and stood in front of the two ladies who had their mouth open wide and shock evident in their eyes. I was nervous as hell now. Was I not looking beautiful in this saree? Will aman not like it-

ALIYA: eeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you look like an angel!! you can't be a human!! what did my brother do to have you in his life? I wish I was a guy now.

I just gave her a shy smile and thanked her when I turned my eyes towards rehmat di. She had tears in her eyes. She took slow steps towards me and kissed my forehead. she placed the black dot of kajal behind my ear.

REHMAT: beautiful. Now go to the love of your life, he must be waiting for you.

This is what i meant when I told she was like an elder sister to me. This marriage did not only give me out of the world husband of mine, but a family to die for. A big brother like zain bhai, an elder sister like rehmat di, a younger sister/friend like aliya, ammi just like my amma and abbu as caring and loving as my baba. I was getting emotional and couldn't wait to go to him anymore.

ALIYA: ok now, let's not make him wait anymore. let's go!

With that they both dragged me the lift which took us to the ground floor. They dragged me, again, towards something that looked like a door? they both opened the door and I was enchanted by looking at the view in front of me. It was pathway that led to a garden and it was beautifully lighted and decorated with lights. I was busy in admiring the view when rehmat di slightly shook me.

REHMAT: ok, our help ends here, you need to navigate the way further on yourself, and here, take this. Your beloved husband asked me to give you this.

She handed me a paper and that looked like a letter they both smiled at me and left while I looked at the letter in my hand. I took a deep breath and opened the letter.

Dear noori,

Well, I am bad at writing love letters and I guess you'll know why as you further read this.

I want you to know that you're one of the most important people in my life and I don't know what I would do without you. Having you as my wife, I feel like the luckiest man on this earth and I am glad that you said yes to marry me, Because without you, I am nothing but a man with a soul as dark as the night and as empty as I could be. When I saw you for the first time on the day of our engagement, though it was accident, I felt an immediate connection between us, but like a fool that I was, I chose to shrug it off. Now now, I won't tell you everything in this one letter itself, start walking forward and you'll find more surprises, hope you like them.

Yours,

aman.

I couldn't help but feel like the luckiest woman on this planet. I was getting the most romantic surprise in this world by the man that I cherished with the whole of my heart. I started walking on the pathway and found a small box with a rose upon it. I slowly bent down to pick it up.

I opened the box and found another letter and a chocolate inside it. I chuckled while looking at the chocolate and opened to read the letter.

Congratulations!

You've found your first gift. Well, I was selfish and made it very easy for you to reach the gift but all I wanted was for you it have it so ughh, its ok I guess.

Let me begin from the start, I was a man with no emotion called love in me. I believed that such emotions could only make me weak. When I was arranged to get married with you, I refused at the start but then, because of ammi, I had to accept it. I didn't even ask for your age or didn't show any interest in knowing what you looked like. All i knew was I was going to tell this girl that our marriage wasn't going to be a normal one, it would have no love in it. But when I saw you for the first time at engagement, a little bit of my hard demeanor cracked.

You can know the rest of the story as you walk ahead, keep going! you're doing great!

Yours,

aman

My steps automatically started moving ahead as I found the next box. It was the same kind, with a rose in it. It had yet another chocolate in it with a couple bracelet. I chuckled at his thought and melted at the same time. And of course, another letter.

You're here on your next level winner!

ok so now let's continue with what I had to say.

Since the day I saw you, till the day of our marriage, I spent each and every hour in anticipation, I tried to deny it, but there's no point in not admitting it now. Finally, when I was married to you, My heart felt contented. I didn't know what feeling that was, But I felt complete. But as you already know, what an Idiot i was, I again shrugged it off. But when I saw you crying while hugging your father, something broke inside me. That's the reason why I handed you the kerchief in the car. I was worried for you when I saw you becoming nervous when everyone in the family surrounded you as soon as you entered the house, so I told ammi to take you to my room, which of course is ours now. And when I did the most foolish work of my life, that is to tell you to not expect any love from this marriage, I myself wasn't finding peace in it. I was feeling uneasy but I blindly did what I thought was right, but yeah, you can see, I am the biggest idiot. But i am your idiot tho.

Now, keep going to read further.

Yours,

aman.

I found another box, with a chocolate, rose and two letters?

I opened the smaller one first and it looked more like a handwritten token?

"ASIM AMAN'S PROMISE TOKEN TO BUY YOU AS MUCH ROMANCE NOVELS AS YOU WANT"

while I read that, I couldn't help but giggle, where are you aman, I want to see you now.

I opened the other letter and started reading.

You're there noori,

just one more letter and you'll find the most beautiful surprise.

As our journey as a couple began, I initially tried my best to avoid you as much as I could. Because I had realized, that the feelings I had for you weren't normal or small. I knew I could mess up my mind If I stayed around you. But that night, when you were awake with all those books scattered around and seriously concentrating on your book, I couldn't help but get lost in you. That was where everything truly began. I started expecting your presence every night after that. The way you served me food. The way you chatted with me as if everything was normal between us, It made me feel as if I had someone who belonged only to me. Who would dedicate her life to me and I would happily surrender mine to hers. And that night when you took care of me and I shouted at you for that, I felt horrible, I couldn't find peace. I felt as if someone very close to me was snatched away from me. That is why I couldn't stop myself from returning early and apologizing to you. I love tutoring you and I love that smile you have on your face when you get a question right and I love that cute pout on your face when you get a question right. And as they say, just go with the flow, the flow led us to where we are today. From zain's marriage to aligarh to performing the rituals with you, my feelings only grew deeper for you.

Just a few steps more and you'll reach the final gift, keep going noori.

Yours,

aman.

I had tears in my eyes as all those moments of past flashed in front of my eyes. The kind of start we had as a couple, was not good, but where we stood now, was definately something impressive. As he said, we went with the flow and the flow led us to where we were now.

I moved ahead and I was in the middle of the garden with no one around me, There was another box, same, with a rose and a chocolate and a letter. But it also had a beautiful simple locket it in. I let out a gasp looking at it. It was absolutely gorgeous. Without wasting anymore time. I opened the letter.

You finally made it noori!

The last letter! I am so proud of you begum jaan..!

So as this is the final letter, I want to tell you all that I feel for you.

I feel peace when I am with you. I feel complete when I am with you. You make me happy. You're like the biggest achievement of my life. The way you never gave up on us, it inspires me. And I would want to spend the rest of my life with you, being devoted to you. I want to take care of you whenever you get your periods and I want to buy you chocolates. I want to rub your belly to sooth your cramps and I want to be there to witness all your tantrums and mood swings.

I want to be there whenever you ace an exam or win a contest. I want to be there beside you during each and every failure of yours to tell you how you could win anything you want. I want to be there to witness all of those. I want to give all the happiness that you deserve in this world and I want the world to know that I belong to you and only to you. The only person in front of whom this asim aman will bow his head, is you. If kneeling in front of you is being defeated, Then yes, I would love to be defeated. You're my strength, noori. You're my light.

Without you, I would fucking die and whoever would even try to hurt you, I swear to god I wouldn't spare them. I want to protect you, to pamper you. I want to do justice to the name that you gave me, aman.

I want to have a family with you. I want to witness all stages of my life with you. I want to grow old with you. I want to tell our kids what a wonderful story their parents had. I want to never let you go noori.

Aapke khaatir kuch aise paagal huye hum ki poori duniya dhundli si laage

Jo kisike saamne naa jhuka, yeh sar jhuka aapke aage.

Aapke aane se hum huye kismatwaale aur kismat huyi khush,

Iss nausikhiye abb ishq ka imtehaan dena aasan laage.

Ishq ka jise naam bhi pata nahi tha usko tune pyaar ka jaam pilaya,

Iss raah chalte deewane ko tune apna aashiq banaya.

Thaamlo mera yeh haath aur kardo meri iss berang zindagi ko rangeen,

meri iss begairat zindagi ko aapki mohobbat se banade haseen.

I want to tell you what I feel face to face noori.

Yours,

aman.

ASIM: noori...

I looked in the front only to see him kneeling down on one knee with a ring in his hands. My cheeks were already soaked with tears and a huge smile was already planted on my face.

ASIM: I want to tell you that you're the most important person to me. You're the best thing that ever happened to me and I never want to let you go. When you entered my life, I started seeing bright side of life. You are my light noori. I know I wasn't the best man at the start but I promise to surpass your fictional men in the future if you give me a chance.

I know our marriage wasn't based on our will, though none of us were against it. But It wasn't based on love. So, I want to ask you once again, mrs. aayat asim aman, will you marry me? This time out of love, out of care, on your wish. will you marry me again and make me the happiest man on this world?

Because I love you so so much and I can't even tell you how much I love you in words.

AAYAT: you already did, aman. You showed me how much You love me. And yes, I'll marry you. I'll marry you once again and become mrs. aayat asim aman, because I too love you. I too love you so much.

I love all the sides of you. The cold one as well as the pervert one. The scared one as well as the scary one. The emotional one as well as the romantic once. I love the all of you with all I have aman.

He had tears in his eyes and a huge smile on his face. He made me wear the ring and got up to embrace me warm and tight embrace. We were both happy. this was us. our story. our love.

AAYAT: well I couldn't tell you before, but you look very handsome mr. husband.

ASIM: well, not more than you, begum jaan. Sathya will be glad to know his hard work paid off.

I chuckled at his words and we spent our time in the garden by having dinner, dancing on a romantic song and chit chatting for a bit. The garden was decorated beautifully with lights, it looked as if it was straight out of a novel.

Right now, We were moving in round circles on a slow song with my head placed on his chest.

AAYAT: did you do all of this for me?

ASIM: well, I planned all of it but I had some help in executing it. Do you like it?

AAYAT: I love it!

ASIM: I think it's late. We should head back to our room.

AAYAT: *confused* room?

ASIM: *chuckle* yes, the one which you were getting ready in. I want to spend some alone time with you.

I don't know why but my cheeks started heating up as we headed towards our room. All the possibilities of what spending alone time meant started flashing in front of my eyes. GAIN YOUR SENSES AAYAT!

He told me to get inside the room as he had some work. He would join me later. I entered the room and straight away headed towards the balcony. The wind was brushing against my face and my heart felt at peace. Tonight was a total dream. Everything a girl would want. I was lost in my thoughts when I felt two muscular arms snaking around my waist and I instantly knew who it was. I leaned my back against his chest as he hid his face in the crook of my neck. He placed a few kisses on my neck and then turned me around.

He held my chin to make me face him and slowly leaned in. I automatically closed my eyes and leaned in as well when our lips met in a slow kiss filled with love. Pure love. nothing bodily involved. We were conveying our love towards each other with this kiss. It was a pure bliss.

We broke apart in need of oxygen and he connected his forehead with mine. I love it when he does this.

ASIM: you don't have to be nervous noori, no matter how much I want to, I won't touch you until you get comfortable and grant me the consent. Just your hugs and smiles are enough for me.

I fell for him all over again. Fuck fictional men, mine was better than them.

We spent that night, by cuddling, talking and all the possibly romantic things that existed.

this is us, our story. We are AMANAT.
