"Asalamwalikum!" I squealed at Aunt Naaz who looked really surprised when she saw me.
"Walaikumasalam my dear child!" She hugged me tight.
"How are you?"
"You tell me, how are you? The state in which you left was not at all good." She asked me out of concern.
"Now I am fine na, that's all matters. Whatever happened-just happened. Not gonna reminisce it anymore." I smiled at her.
"So, my son finally realised his love and mistakes, hmm?" She nudged at Fahad.
"Very late, but at least he did!" Uméma chimed in. This girl never leaves a chance to insult her brother. Lol. "But when he realised, he really shocked everyone of us."
"Really, Fahad?" Aunt Naaz asked him excitedly.
"Uh, Mom, I am going to change cause I- uh it's my birthday and we all have to be at the venue, you guys also get ready." Fahad spluttered as he hurried into his room. Shy boy!
"You know that its his first time celebrating his birthday!" Aunt Naaz cajoled in joy.
"I know right! I don't even remember when we celebrated his last birthday. He never used to be present on his birthdays. Making some work excuse, he used to leave the house knowing that I and Mom would be surprising him." Uméma spoke in disdain.
"But look at him now, first birthday with his wife and already throwing a party." She wiggled her eyebrows at me suggestively making me blush.
"So.... Can I expect grandchildren soon?" Aunt Naaz asked the same question which my Mom did when I informed her that I'll be returning back at Fahad's house.
I tried to convince her that I will stay with for some more times but she dismissed me saying that "No, no need, just now you guys sorted out your differences. Also, just because you didn't inform me doesn't mean that I didn't notice the sadness when you left Fahad's house." Mom know everything, huh.
Right now I am blushing profusely. "Uh. . . I-umm, Fahad must be looking for me. I shall go." I sprinted from the situation and ran upstairs.
I was standing infront of our door, dreading to go inside. Actually I am nervous.
"Nada? What are you doing outside?" Uméma asked me as she walked up and stood in front of me.
"I don't know. I just. . ." I trailed off.
"Arey he is your husband why are you fretting over it? Go inside and. . . well you can do whatever you want." She grinned at me.
"Tell me seriously na Nada, when can I expect nephew or a niece?" She asked me excitedly holding my hands.
"Can you stop already?" My face got flushed as I heard that. She just laughed at me. "We'll see when you get married. Get ready for that." Soon her laughter died.
"You didn't have to drop that bomb, okay?" She said with a sour face. "Now go get ready your Romeo would be getting impatient." She teased me while going into her, which was diagonal to ours.
"Shut up, Ummi!" I shouted at her.
"Wear green! That's is his favourite color." She said in a sing-song manner once she stood near the door.
"I wish I knew Shariq's favourite colour but I don't. However, you can wear the same colour as your eyes probably that would be his favourite colour!" As soon as I spoke those words I rushed inside with full speed and locked the door.
I heaved against the door gasping for air. Such low stamina! I did hear Uméma shout though.
After me gasping like I have been running for a fortnight I looked up and got shocked like REALLY shocked. Fahad was standing near the closet shirtless. Cue the nervousness.
"Oh, shoot! Nada, you're here. I was just searching for my shirt." Fahad spoke bringing out of my fangirling moment.
"Theek hai." Came my short reply as I walked towards the bed.
Even, I also to get changed, however, I didn't have the fortitude to go PAST HIM and take my clothes. So for now I just settled myself at the bed. (Okay.)
"Which colour should I wear?" I heard him ask.
"What suit are you wearing?"
"Navy blue with the tie you gifted me." Aww! How much more cute my husband is gonna be?! I can just imagine him in the suit. Suits really suit him but not more than causals. Jeans wi- "Nada?!"
"Wh-white. Wear white shirt." I stuttered. Very well Nada!
"Nada! Could you please search it for me?" No. That's what I wanted to say but my tongue didn't compromise with me.
I looked at him like a deer caught in headlights. That means that I will have to go near him. Previously, you were one brave girl. What happened now, huh? He also likes me in the same way as I. That happened.
I simply nodded at him and got up. What's so difficult about it? Just walk in the closet, pick his shirt out and hand it to him. That's it. I can do it.
I stalked towards where Fahad was standing. Did I mention shirtless? Yes? Okay then I am mentioning it again cause this is a momentum.
I glanced at him as I walked past him all this while Fahad's eyes didn't move away from me.
"Look! It's here in front of you. Didn't you see it?" The white shirt was the first thing which I saw as I entered in. It was hanging up at the rod, supported by a hanger. I tip-toed, trying to get a hold of it.
"Yes, I did." I am telling y'all I almost fainted and slipped down when Fahad placed his hands around my waist. Someone drip glucose in my body.
"Then why didn't you take it?" I mumbled against his flushed BARE body.
"Cause I wanted you to take it out for me also you were ignoring me."
"I wasn't."
"Yeah yeah whatever floats your boat." He leaned in towards me.
"Come on wear this!" I threw the shirt at him.
"Nada! What?" He whined.
"What what?" I asked him nonchalantly.
"Ugh!"
"What? Now you're angry at me?"
"Where did that come from?"
"From your 'ugh'."
"That happened because of you and only you!"
"Ugh! Fahad you're infuriating me right now!" I walked out of the closet and huffed at him.
"Okay, when you do that it's fine but I can't say the same! Wow!"
After that no one spoke. He was still in the closet and I was sitting on the loveseat in the bedroom. One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes. Just like that ten minutes had passed but none of us spoke.
"Okay, I am sorryyyyy." Yessssssss!!! Fahad stressed on the 'y's' coming out of the room wearing his shirt half way through.
"It's okay!" I gave him a kiss on the cheek as Fahad's eyes widened.
"It's okay Fahad, it's your wife who kissed you! Your face looks like I di-"
"Uh, I am just not used to this." He scratched his neck.
"I will make you used to it." I buttoned his shirt.
Fahad suddenly leaned in towards me making my eyes wide. "What are you doing?"
"This." He leaned back and smiled widely at me. I looked around my neck to see the necklace and pendant which I had returned to Fahad. Aww!
"Fahad." I looked up at him.
"You know the room had been so lifeless since you left." I looked up at the man who was in love with me, finally. "Cause you are it's life."
"Aww that was so sweet."
"Not more than you." He kept his head on my shoulder. Fahaaaddd! "Tell me what shall I wear?" He looked at me and kept looking at me for a good few minutes and spoke,
"I am sorry Nada for hurting you. I have hurt you a lot." He looked at me with utmost sincerity.
"Are we back at that?"
"No, I need to apologise. That day when we fought I was already in a crappy mood because of what happened at the office and all my anger bursted on you."
"I HAVE ALREADY FORGIVEN YOU OKAY?" I shouted at him. It was necessary to talk to him in a high pitch cause he doesn't seem to understand it. "Now tell me why were you in a crappy mood that day."
"My good for nothing father showed up." He articulated making me gasp.
"What?"
"Yes. For his share in my company. How dare he! I have built this empire on my own and now, from out if nowhere he asks me that?! I got really furious after that."
"Why didn't you tell me that before?"
"Cause I wanted you to forgive me genuinely. I know as soon as I would have told you about that you would have forgiven me easily. But no, I wanted to apologise for all the things I have done to yo." His voice reflected the genuineness of his words.
"I am so sorry Fahad. I said a lot of things to you without even knowing the reason."
"Don't apologise."
"I should be-"
"Listen from now on we forget about that day and stop apologising to each other okay?"
"Yes!" I grinned widely.
"My whole universe lies in your eyes and smile."
"Fahad! I love you!" I threw my arms around him and he gladly did the same.
"Love you too, Nada! Also wear green. That's my favourite colour."
With that said, I realised that how much blessed I am. With such a loving husband and my family.
