Chaudhry Villa

The decorations and preprations were going on for the nikkah ceremony of the two beautiful couples who had a curfew on as they were banned from seeing eachother before nikkah.

Arham was in hospital for a emergency meeting while Mirha was sleeping soundly.Zain was busy in the arrangements and Naina was trying to get a chance to talk to him.

"Chh..chhhchh!" She made some noise to get his attention as she was hiding behind the pillar.He turned his head to see Naina standing there.

"Kya hwa?" (What happened?) He mouthed as all the elders were roaming around in the house.

"Meri baat sunein aik minute." (Listen to me for once.) She gestured him to come.

"Sb yahan hain Naina." (Everyone is moving around.)

"Its important."

"Okay." He nodded and they silently went to Naina's room.

"Dil nhi lg rha tha mere beghair?" (You were sad without me?) He teased her.

"Ye mazak ka time nhi hai Zain!" (Its not the time to joke Zain!) She tried to hide her blush.

"Come again...kya bola tum ny,phir sy bolo?" (What did you just say? Say that again.) He was elated when he heard his name from her mouth.

"Mai kal raat sy practice kr rhi thi aap ka naam bolny ki." (I have been practicing to call your name since last night.) She turned red as she told him.

Zain laughed "you are too cute Naina."

"Acha sharmao nhi aur mujhe ye btao k kya important baat thi?" (Now stop being shy and tell me what was that important matter?)

"Rayyan aur Ayaan...jb unhein humary barey mein pta chla tha tou wo bht zyada upset thy,mai ny argue kiya k Arham bhai aur Mirha Api bhi tou shadi kr rhy hai un k liye alag rules,humaray liye alag tou wo kehty k 'tum humari behn ho' aur mujhe lgta hai k Mirha api ny ye sb sun liya hai aur unko ye lga hai k kisi ko bhi un k aur Arham bhai k relation sy koi problem iss liye nhi thi kyun k koi unhein apni behn nhi smjhta...iss liye wo kal restusrant mein bol rhi thein k bhai sirf apny parents k betay hoty hain." Naina explained.
(When Rayyan Ayaan got to know about us,they were so so upset,I argued that why the rules are different for us and Arham bhai and Mirha Api as they are also gonna get married...they spoke up that 'you are our sister' and i think Mirha api has heard it and she thinks that no one has objection to her relation because she doesnt have a sibling...)

"Ye tou bht kaam kharab ho gya." (Its all messed up.)

"Ab kya karein?" (What should we do now?)

"Yar Mirha ko hurt nhi dekh skta mai blky hum mein sy koi bhi...wo itni hurt hai aur Arham bhai abhi bhi hospital ki jaan nhi chor rhy...ye kaisa pyar hai un ka."
(Neither I nor anyone else from us can see her hurt...and Arham bhai is still not leaving hospital...what kind of love is this?)

"Aur Rayyan Ayaan pagal ho gaye hain." Naina spoke. (And Rayyan Ayaan have gone mad.)

"Ye hain hi pagal,ab Mirha ko kaisay theek karein...uska dil bhi bahut nazuk hai,zra si baat ko dil py ly leti hai wo tou aur itny din sy pta nhi kaisay kisi sy kuch share kiye beghair reh rhi hai." Zain was worried.
(They are already mad,what should we do about Mirha,she is so sensitive and emotional,I wonder how did she even hide it for so many days.)

"Arham bhai ko bta dun?" Naina asked.
(Should I tell Arham bhai?)

"Kya btana hai mujhe aur tum dono nikkah sy pehly konsi gup shup lga rhy ho,han?" Arham entered the room.
(What are you going to tell me and what are you guys gossiping about before nikkah?)

"Bhai wo(that)..." Zain was about to speak when Arham asked."Mirha theek hai?" (Is Mirha Okay?)

"Ji wo..." (that)

"Bolo" (speak up) Arham furrowed his brows together.

"Rayyan Ayaan ki waja sy mirha api hurt hwi hain...unho ny bola k Naina tum humari behn ho tumhari love life hum tolerate nhi kr skty aur mirha api ny ye sun liya hai is liye un ko lgta hai k ayaan rayyan ko unki love life sy koi issue nhi hai kyun k wo unhein apni behn nhi maanty." Naina spoke up. (Mirha api is hurt because of Rayyan and Ayaan...they said that you are our sister Naina so we cannot tolerate your love life and Mirha api has heard it and she thinks that Rayyan Ayaan dont have any issue with her love life as they dont consider her their sister)

"Ye kb ki baat ha?" Arham asked. (When did this happen?)

"Kuch din hwy hain bhai...ab kya karein,api bht hurt hain?" Naina asked worriedly.
(A few days back...what should we do now? She is hurt.)

"Mai dekh k ata hun usy." Arham replied. (I'll go see her.)

"Kisy dekhny ja rhy ho...aur tum dono yahan kya kr rhy ho?" Mirha's mother came. (Whom are you going to see? And what are you both doing here?)

"Mai ny bulaya tha chachi..."Arham lied. (I called them Chachi.)

"Zain beta kuch arrangements dekh lo aur Arham thora rest kr lo beta phir tayyar bhi hona hai aur Naina jao Mirha ko uthao,ktna soye gi ye larki." (Zain go see the arrangements and Arham take rest for a while and Naina go wake Mirha up,how much is this girl going to sleep?)

"Ji chachi."Arham replied. (Okay Chachi.)

Arham dailed Mirha's number

"Haan g?" (Yes?)

"Wassup dulhan to be?"

"So rhi thi,aap aa gaye hain wapis?" (I was sleeping,are you back home?)

"Ji." (Yes)

"Mera dil nhi kr rha aj nikah krny ka,i am so tired." (I didnt want to do nikkah today,I am so tired.)

"Kyun zulm krti ho mujh py yar,pehly shadi k liye nhi maan rhi thein aur ab dil nhi kr rha...thora reham krein mujh py." (Why are you punishing me man,at first you weren't agree to marry and now your heart...please have some mercy on me.)

She chuckled " i am sorry...mai uth k tayyar hoti hun phir aur ab nikkah k baad hi baat krein gy." (Okay,I'll go get ready and now we'll talk after nikkah.)

"Shukriya begum to be." (Thanks begum to be.)

"Aur haan ab agr pictures achi nhi aai na tou aap mujhe blame nhi karein gy kyun k mai ny pehly bta diya hai k mai thaki hwi hun." She warned him. (And yes,dont complain me if we cant get good pictures because as I told you,I am tired.)

"Meri tou achi hi aayein gi,tum apna dekh lo." He teased her. (Mine will be good,worry about yourself.)

"Bary hi koi bey murawat insan hain ap."She said and he laughed."Mazak kr rha hun pagal." (You are so insensitive) (just kidding silly.)

Nikkah Ceremony...

After the nikkah of both the couples,it was time to click the photos.Arham sat beside Mirha,she was looking breathtakingly beautiful but she was zoned out "begum camera wahan hai." He whispered leaning close to her ear. (Camera is there begum.)

She looked up and Rayyan clicked the picture. "That was really good Arham bhai." Rayyan came ahead to show Arham the picture.Mirha's gaze went to the man sitting beside her,He was looking so serene and simply perfect that for a moment she was lost in him.

"Ye dekho Mirha,ktni pyari lg rhi ho." (Look Mirha,you are looking so beautiful.) Rayyan showed her the picture and her trance broke.

"Rayyan go click some more,we can see them later." Arham spoke as Mirha was in a very low mood so he asked him to click candid photos.

"Kal sy hospital jana hai Mirha."  (We are going to hospital from tomorrow.)

"Sachi?" She was surprised. "Kal tou humari shadi hai?" (Really?) ( its our wedding today.)

"Kis ny kaha?" (Who said so?)

"Kya mtlb kis ny kaha...mai kahin nhi jaon gi kal." (What do you mean by who said so? I wont go tomorrow.)

"Acha chlo udhr dekho." He pointed a finger towards camera looking at her and as she looked in the direction of his finger,Rayyan clicked the photo. (Okay then look there.)

"Aap pictures k liye aisi baatein kr rhy hain?" She asked. (You are behaving like this because of pictures?)

"Oh you got me baby." He gave a smug smile and she smiled.

"Bhai aik forehead kiss?" Rayyan said loudly. (Bhai,one forehead kiss?)

"Haan g begum,kya khayal hai aap ka phir?" He asked and she closed her eyes shut. He pinched her cheek gently" open your eyes Mirha,we are done." (So begum what do you think about it?)

And then Rayyan and Ayaan started comparing their photos as Ayaan was the one clicking Zain and Naina's photos.
In the photos Naina was being all shy with her head bowed down and Zain was looking straight into camera. Rayyan laughed "ye kya poses click kiye hain ap ny Ayaan,wow."
(Wow,the poses you clicked Ayaan.)

"Ab wo sharma rhy thy,mai kya karun?"
(They were being shy all the time,what can I do?)

"Achi hain.ye dekho Arham bhai tou zbrdsti Mirha ko camery k trf dikha rhy thy." (Look Arham bhai was asking Mirha to look at camera.)

Lekin sbhi achy lg rhy hain." Ayaan commented. (But everyone is looking good.)

"Haan bilkul." (For sure.)

Later on all the family members took pictures with the couples and everyone retired to their respective rooms.

Arham was in his bed thinking his lady love,he was unable to sleep as the images of Mirha as his bride kept moving in his mind and her shyness was something new and endearing to him.His thoughts then drifted to Rayyan and Ayaan's matter.He knew that Mirha wasnt feeling easy just because Rayyan was the one clicking photos and she is avoiding both of them. He texted both of them. "Come to my room asap." And in no time they were standing outside his room.

"Aap ny bulaya tha Arham bhai?" Asked Ayaan. (You called us bhai?)

"Mirha kya lgti hai tum dono ki?" Arham asked plainly. (Whats your relation to Mirha?)

"Kya mtlb?" (What do you mean?)

"Mtlb tum logon ko sharam tou zra bhi nhi aai ho gi ye baat krty hwy k Naina tumhari behn hai aur Mirha nhi,hai na?" (You guys wouldnt have felt a bit of shame while saying that Naina is your sister and Mirha is not?)

"Bhai wo tou bs aisy hi Naina ko daant'ny k liye kaha tha.." (actually we said that to scold Naina.)

"Wo larki us din sy beyhaal phir rhi hai aur tum logon k liye ye koi baat hi nhi hai,right?" (She is not in her senses since that day and you guys dont even think that its a issue,right?)

"Arham bhai hum ny bs Naina ko kaha tha,Mirha sy tou koi aisi baat nhi ki hum ny." (We just said this to Naina,We havent said anything to Mirha.)

"Aur Mirha ny ye sb sun liya tha,ab mujhe ye btao k wo tum logon sy baat kr rhi hai?" (And she heard it all,now tell me is she on talking terms with you?)

"Nhi,wo itny din sy..mtlb wo itny din sy is wajah sy baat nhi kr rhi hai?" (No,it means she isnt talking to us because of this?)

"Ab kya karein Arham bhai?" (What should we do now Arham bhai?)

"Mera dil kr rha hai tum dono ka..." (I want to..)

"Sorry bh.."

"Arham bhai Mirha api bht ro rhi hain." Naina barged inside the room. (Arham bhai,Mirha api is crying bitterly.)

"Kyun?" (Why?)

"Pta nhi,ap please unhein dekh lein...Zain udhr un k paas hi hai." (I dont know,just go see her yourself,Zain is with her.)

"Mai dekhta hun." He ran towards her room. (I'll go see.)

"Mirha yar kyun ro rhi ho,tumhe aisy dekh k mujhe bhi rona aa rha hai." Zain was patting her back. (Why are you crying Mirha...I feel like crying seeing you in this state.)

"Jao yahan sy Zain...mai nhi ro rhi." She wiped her tears. (Go Zain...I aint crying.)

"Arham bhai ko bhejun?" He teased. (Shall i send Arham bhai?)

"Nhi...mai bs soti hun." (No...I am just about to sleep.)

"Tum khush ho na Mirha?" He asked. (You are happy,right?)

"Mai bht khush hon aur sb sy ziada tumhary aur Naina k liye." She said genuinely. (I am genuinely happy for you and Naina.)

"Wese aapas ki baat hai Mirha,Arham bhai tum py sahi flat hain." (Arham bhai loves you so much.)

"Hush!"

"Ahem! Ahem!" They saw Arham standing at the door.

"Oh hi Arham bhai." Zain got up from the bed.

"Jao,tumhari biwi yaad kr rhi hai tumhe. He said oh so causally.aur jaaty hwy drwaza bnd kr k jana." Arham ordered. (Go,your wife is looking for you and close the door.)

"Ji bhai." Zain smiled widely running out of the room. (Okay.)

"Ro kyun rhi thein?" Arham asked standing infront of her. (Why were you crying?)

"Nhi..nhi tou." (I wasnt)

"Meri taraf dekho." He said bending down to her eye level. (Look at me?)

"Ab btao?" He asked as she was looking in his eyes. (Now tell me?)

"Kuch nhi...mujhe bs rona aa rha tha." (Nothing i just feel like crying.)

"Mujhe bhi nhi btao gi k kya hwa hai?" (You wont tell me what happened?)

"Aap jaein please." A tear slipped her eye again. (Please go.)

"Idhr aao." He pulled her in his arms sitting on the bed beside her and she sobbed hard. (Come here.)

"Ab btao mujhe kyun rona aa rha hai?" He stroked her hair gently and she sobbed hard. "Relax...relax begum." (Now tell me why are you crying?)

"Mirha aisy kisi baat ko itna dil py nhi lety aur agr kuch upsetting ho tou usy share krty hain...aur roty tou bilkul bhi nhi hain."
(Mirha dont take these little things at heart and if something is upsetting you then share it...)

"Aap ko pta hai rayyan ayaan kehty hain k mai unki behn nhi hun...mai ny unhein bhaiyon ki trha treat kiya hai pr wo,wo kyun aisy krty hain. (You know Rayyan Ayaan say that I am not their sister though i treated them as my brothers...why did they say this?)

"Naina ko daant'ny k chakar mein unho ny aisa bol diya..he kept stroking her hair..Mirha ghussay mein insan bht kuch aisa bol deta hai jiska usy kuch pta bhi nhi hota." (They said all this in order to scold Naina...they said it while they were angry.)

"Mai ny bht try kiya k mai unhein ignore karun lekin mai ye kesy karun?aap ko pta hai mai bilkul bhi nhi roi thi lekin pta nhi kyun ab control nhi ho rha...I love them and it hurts..It hurts so much Arham bh.." (I tried my level best to ignore them but how can I do this? You know i didnt cry for a few days but now i cant control it...i love them and it hurts...it hurts so much Arham bh..)

"Shh,stop right here begum."

And she realized she was in his arms for all this time and he is her husband now not her bhai so she moved out of his arms instantly.

"Sorry...i didnt realize..

"Andr aa jao!" (Come on in.)

Rayyan Ayaan entered the room,they had tears in their eyes and were unable to meet Mirha's gaze.Tears formed again in her eyes as she saw them.

"Sorry Mirhu,we are so sorry Mirha...Naina ko daant'ny k chakar mein hum pta nhi kya kya bol gaye,humein nhi pta tha k tum itna hurt ho gi...
(We said all that to scold Naina)

Mirha please...

Humein daant lo,kuch bhi punishment dy lo pr humari wajah sy rou nhi please..
(Scold us,give us punishment but dont cry because of us.)

She looked at them and then at Arham who was looking at her gently.He gestured her to go to them.She nodded and then went ahead to engulf them in a hug.All of them were shedding tears due to their aching hearts and Arham smiled looking at them.

"Aaj k baad mujhe tum logon mein sy koi aik dusry sy naraaz hota hwa nazar aya na tou mujh sy bura koi nhi ho ga." Arham warned them and they chuckled. (If i ever see you guys angry with one another then it wont be good for you.)

"Rayyan! Ayaan!" They heard their mother's voice. "Kaam chor larko kahan ho,ja k tayyariyan dekho sb."

"Aaye Ammaa!" They said loudly. (Coming.)

"Tum naraaz nhi ho na Mirhu?" Ayaan asked and she shook her head. (You arent angry anymore,right?)

"Acha hum jaaty hain,humein apni pyari Mirha ki shadi ki tayyari krni hai."saying this they ran away. (Okay now we are going to sew your wedding prep)

"Ab theek ho?" Arham asked. (You okay now?)

"Thank you." She replied.

"Pleasure begum."He smiled at her and she felt her cheeks turning warm..Mai jata hun ab,tum bhi so jao time sy aur haan aankhon py kuch thnda lga lena."

"Okay." She nodded.

----------------------

"Pta nhi bhai aaye nhi abhi." Zain was on call with Naina (i dont know bhai isnt back yet.)

"Mirha Aapi nikkah k time bhi itni sad thein." Naina spoke. (Mirha api was sad even at the time of nikkah.)

"Ab kya kr skty hain,Rayyan Ayaan ko bhi tou itna daanta hai bhai ny aur unhein sath bhi ly k gaye hain...bs ab sb theek ho jaye." Zain replied. (I wish everything turns out good.)

"Arham bhai sambhal lein gy." Naina assured. (Arham bhai will handle it well.)

"Tum kya kr rhi ho?" He asked. (What are you doing?)

"Kuch nhi...wo mai kuch soch rhi thi." (I was thinking something.)

"Kya?" (What?)

"Ab hum aik dusry ko mil bhi nhi skty na,nikkah jo ho gya hai humara."
(We cant see each other now because we are nikkahfied.)

"Kyun nhi mil skty?" (Why cant we?)

"Sharam nhi aaye gi aap ko?" (Wont you feel shy?)

"Kis baat ki sharam?" (Why would i feel shy?)

"Mtlb sb kya sochein gy?" (I mean what will others think?)

"K tum meri biwi ho." (That you are my wife.)

"Ahista bolein." (Speak slowly.)

"Pagal Naina." He laughed. (Silly Naina.)

"Zain miyan romance apny kmry mein ja k karein." They heard Arham's voice and Naina abruptly ended the call. (Zain go continue with your romance in your room.)

"Bhai,Mirha theek hai?" (Is Mirha okay?)

"Haan shukar hai yar theek hai wo...ja k so jao ab." Arham sighed. (Yeah...you also go  sleep now.)

"Thank God."
