Happy New Year💗

May the coming year bring peace and harmony to the world😭

I have personally gone through a lot in 2024. Need prayers❤️

The weather was very pleasant today. It was windy and breathable. The air quality in the city was about to be worse in the coming season so it was the best time to enjoy the air.

Nataliya chose to stroll in a park near their house. The park was filled with children and their families. Kids were playing and making noises.

She interacted with a few kids and they invited her to play football with them. She happily started playing with the little kids, giggled with them and teased them with her shots.

Kaif was standing aside. He was continuously watching her with a straight face. She looked so happy and content at the moment.

Kaif knew and understood that she was craving people. Unfortunately, they didn't have a large extended family nor were they close to the existing ones. She wasn't even ready to spend a few days at her mother's place. They just had each other in this whole world. This was the only aspect of their lives he couldn't do anything about. They had to compromise with this reality.

But watching her happy, he himself was feeling happiness and satisfaction. He wanted her to be happy and content from life.

He was busy watching her playing with the kids when someone stood beside him. It was a lady in her fifties. She passed him a smile. He just nodded at her in response.

"Behn hy apki?" Auntie spoiled his mood badly with her words.

(Is she your sister)

"Kyu. Humari shakal mil rahi hy kia" He gritted his teeth.

(Why. Do we look alike)

The auntie was stunned at his tone. She didn't do anything. Did she.

"I am her husband" He said monotonously.

"Ohh sorry" Auntie bit her tongue. Her husband doesn't lie when he says she speaks utter nonsense. "Really sorry. Don't mind please"

He didn't reply and auntie left the next second being embarrassed of the interaction. He extremely disliked the words of the lady. It felt like everybody around them was thinking same about them which was disgusting to him.

"Kyu buri buri shaklain bana rahain hain. Bache dar jain gy" She chuckled, coming towards him happily.

(Why are you making weird faces, children would get scared)

"Meri shakal hi esi hy" He was still mad.

(My face is like that)

"Nah. Your face is very handsome-" She stopped speaking when a little smile appeared on his face. She looked away shyly.

"And" He appreciated her.

"And you are looking like a clown" She slapped his biceps.

"Thank you" He replied.

"Who made you mad?" She looked up at him.

"Nothing important. I am fine"He shrugged his shoulders.

"Liar pants" She muttered.

"I think we should leave. You have played more than enough despite your weakness" He suggested.

"Yes, and I want chips now" She pointed at the cart at a corner.

"No" He shook his head. "You are already not well. What if it makes you ill. We aren't getting it"

"Please" She asked him innocently.

"No" He grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers. Her little hand fit in his broad hand perfectly. She smiled watching their joined hands. The little progress was making butterflies in her stomach restless.

"Pretty please" She grabbed his arm with the other hand.

"I have already said no" He replied looking straight.

"Dictator" She mumbled.

"As you say sweetheart!" He replied seriously.

"No, I am stupid"

"Yeah that too"

"And badtameez"

"That too"

"And jahil"

"That too"

"And besharam"

"That too"

"And beautiful?"

"Yes, very beautiful" He replied taking no seconds and both burst into laughter looking at each other.

Nataliya hid her face on his broad shoulder. Everything was so different these days, especially today his behavior was so much different than usual.

"You are laughing" She told him.

"So do you" He shrugged his shoulders.

"But I laugh daily and you are laughing after ages" She said.

He just passed her a little smile and shook his head. They kept walking to the car with intertwined fingers. She was very shy but not for once she tried to pull her hand out of his hold. She was happy with whatever improvement they were having in their relationship.

Nataliya wanted to go back home so they went back. She started re-reading the book she left earlier and he went to take a nap. He was like that, he could always fall asleep in minutes and get up super fresh unlike her who always struggled to get a quality sleep.

She had already completed the book when he woke up. Today she accompanied him into the kitchen when he went to make dinner without him asking her.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked graciously.

"What's the option?" She rested her chin on her palm and fixed her eyes at him.

Someone was becoming shameless in the last few hours.

"Chickpeas and rice or tandoori chicken and naan" He gave her the option.

"Tandoori chicken and naan" She selected instantly.

He nodded and took out the already marinated chicken from the refrigerator. He simply put the chicken in the air fryer and started preparing the salad.

"I am useless" She commented watching him working.

"It's a comment or a question?" He played safe.

"Both" She replied.

"What can I say" He shrugged his shoulders.

"Why don't you ask me to do household chores?" She asked the question she was thinking about lately.

"You are very young" He said seriously looking up at her.

"Girls of my age do everything in their homes" She told him as if he didn't know.

"They have someone to guide and help them" He reminded her.

"And I have you" She shrugged her shoulders.

"Yes, you have me that's why you don't need to be worried about anything" He nodded at her.

"I will just go and grab some naan quickly. Just check the chicken once" He asked before walking to the naan shop two streets away.

"I think I should start cooking. What do you say" She touched the topic again at the dinner table.

"What are you even thinking Nataliya! Just focus on your studies. I have been managing everything for the last one year and I can do it for more time" He asked her seriously.

"Agg hain ap!" She mumbled unhappily.

(You are fiery)

"What" He didn't understand what she meant.

"Bharak jo uthte hain" Her words made him smile.

(You get angry easily)

"Mat bharkaya karo phir mujhe" He replied.

(Then don't make me angry)

"I do nothing" She stared at him.

After having dinner, he started preparing for his lectures for tomorrow and she started doing an assignment. They both were doing their work together in the lounge. By the time she was done with her assignment, he got done with his lectures.

"You are fast" She commented.

"No, you are just lazy" He shook his head.

"Hehehe. Very funny" She faked a laugh.

She went to her room to put her ipad and books. She had submitted the assignment online so she had no intentions to go to university tomorrow as well. It was better to stay at home on heavy flow days.

When she entered his room to sleep, he was coming out of the washroom. She bit her upper lip and thought for a second.

"Where are you going?" She asked meekly when he was about to leave the room.

"In the lounge" He replied.

"Why?" She glanced at him.

"To sleep" He saw her as if she said something dumb.

"You must have slept uncomfortably there last night" She said, twisting her fingers restlessly.

"Don't feel bad. I was fine" He said leaving the room.

"Kaif" She held his hand to stop him. He looked at their joined hands and then her face. She was looking down.

"You can sleep on the bed" She asked him meekly looking down at the floor as if the floor was the most attractive thing in the room and not the man standing next to her.

Oye hoye🙊

Nataliya is getting brave🌸

How is Kaif gonna react?
