Zain was in the hospital preparing for his clinical exams...when he saw a guy approaching him "Hi Zain bhai."

"Hey Sami,wassup man?" He shook hand with him.

"Nothing much,i was just passing by and saw you."

"How is your prepration going on?"asked Zain.

"Quiet good,its just getting hectic these days" he replied.

"No worries,you can ask me if you need any help."

"I've always asked you." He chuckled and his eyes caught Naina...she was coming inside.

"I gotta go Zain bhai..see you." Saying so he got up.

Naina was searching for Zain as he called her to meet him before leaving for home.He wanted to have lunch with her.She was about to go to Zain when Sami approached her.

"Hey Naina."

"Oh Hi." She replied cheerfully.

"Did you get the notes?" He asked.

"Yes thank you so much." She was genuinely happy.

"Pleasure."

"What are you doing here by the way?"

"I came to...ah,nothing just passing by." She was about to tell him about her husband.

"Okay,If you don't mind...i need your help?" He asked.

"Um..yeah sure."

"Can we talk outside,somewhere in the cafe?" He asked.

"Umm..actually I am in a hurry so..can't you tell me like this?"

"Its about Usman...He likes Esha." He replied.

"Um...so?"

"So can you ask her what she feels about him because he is super serious about her."

"Why doesnt he talk himself to her?"

"He is my friend Naina...i know his feelings and i assume Esha is a good friend of yours,can you at least tell her how he feels?"

"I..."

And her phone started ringing...

"Can you text me later,my call is important?"

"Yeah sure."

And the next thing they saw Zain coming towards them "kb sy call kr rha hun yar,kidhr thi tum?"

"Mai bs aa hi rhi thi...lekin phir hum baat kr rhy thy bs."

"Tum log janty ho aik dusry ko?"

"Dr.Hina ny kaha tha Usman aur Sami sy notes ly lo pharmacology k."

"Oh acha acha."

"Mai chlta hun."

'Hey,its Sami here.

'Hi.'

'Did you ask her?'

'Not yet.'

'Can i ask you something?'

'What?'

'Why did he propose to her and then never contacted again?'

'Esha told you?'

'Hm.'

'She kept avoiding him.'

'But still i don't get it.'

'He is like that only.'

'Ask him to talk to her again.'

'I'll ask him if she is insterested.'

'Okay..i'll try to talk to her.'

'But please don't use me against my friend.'

'Oh My God.'

'I am trusting your words just because you helped me...i dont know if i should.'

'You wont regret.'

'Hope so.'

'By the way,how do you know Zain bhai?'

'He is my taya's son.'

'Okay.'

How will i let her know that i like her...damn,why on earth Zain bhai have to be her cousin. Sami was frustrated.

He grabbed the clothes and pulled her towards himself "don't feel guilty Mirha,I am all good and it wasn't your fault...hell even if it was,i wouldn't have liked to see my bubbly lady all gloomy."

"Still i am sorry."

"Its completely alright begum until and unless you wanna pay for the damage done."

"How would i do so?"

"By taking shower with me."

"Noo.." her eyes widened.

"Iraday tou ap k yehi lg rhy hain."

"Tauba,ilzam na lgaein mujh py."

"Dekhein zra kahan khari hain ap."

"Halfway into the shower with your shirtless husband." He winked.

"Mai bs kpry deny aai thi,ap ki tou saari sharam hi khtm ho gai hai."

And he laughed.

"Arham bhai! Ap tyar ho gaye hain? Mai apko chor aaon." They heard Zain's voice from their room.

"10 minute lgein gy Zain."

"Okay,waiting."

"Mai nhi ja rhi ab bahar."

"Wo chla gya ho ga Mirha."

"Ap please dekhein pehly."

"Mirha mai late ho jaon ga."

"Acha jaein door tou lock kr dein."

"Mtlb tum bahar nhi ja rhi?"

"Zain room mein hwa tou bilkul nhi."

Arham went to check and he saw Zain sitting on the couch... "you can wait outside Zain."

"I am okay bhai."

"Okay."

"Ab kya karun?"

"Wo nhi ja rha."

"Mai cupboard mein chli jati hun...ap naha lein phir bahar chly jaiye ga aur jb ap Zain ko ly k room sy bahar jaein gy tb mai bhi aa jaon gi bahar."

"Zain,Mirha ko tou bhejna room mein,pta nhi kahan ghayab ho gai hai." Arham said peeking through the door.

"Aap ka dil nhi lgta na Mirha k beghair."

"Biwi k beghair kis ka dil lgta hai yar."

"Acha mai bhejta hun ap ki biwi ko."

"Thanks man!"

And Zain left the room.

"Chla gya wo." Arham turned towards Mirha who was looking at him with a huge grin.

"Kya?"

"Kuch nhi...mai bahar ja rhi hun,is sy pehly k Zain aa jaye."

"Acha."

"Bhai,Mirh...oh tum kahan thi Mirha,bhai tumhe dhund rhy thy."

"Mai bs abhi aai hun room mein."

"Acha,chlo phir bhai ko kehna k mai un ka wait kr rha hun...neechy."

"Okay."

Mirha sighed dropping herself on the couch closing her eyes and when she opened her eyes,she found herself covered in the blanket in the dimly lit room...all the lights of room were off except the lamp on the night stand.

She saw the wall clock and the time was half past one. "Did she sleep?" "Where is Arham?" "Has he gone?" She removed the blanket and went straight to bathroom but it was empty.

She turned on the lights and searched for her phone and she saw text message from Arham "you slept begum,so I didn't wake you up...I am just leaving for airport,will see you in three days." She was sad reading the text,why didnt he wake her up...he should have woken her up,he left without saying goodbye.

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

Sunday morning...

All the members of family were having breakfast together with the regular chit chat, Mirha was not interested in any of their conversation. She was missing her husband and it was like an unsettling feeling for her,she was amazed at herself.

"Arham ny kb ana hai Mirha?" Her chachi asked.

"3 din ka kaha tha." She shrugged her shoulders.

"Aj raat mein aa jaein gy chachi." Zain added.

"Mirhu miss kr rhi hai Arham bhai ko." Ayaan giggled.

Mirha rolled her eyes at him "haan bilkul aisy hi jesy tum aj ka lunch miss kro gy."

All other crazy genes laughed.

"Kya mtlb,oh haan Mirha aj tou tum humein lunch py ly k ja rhi ho." Ayaan exclaimed.

"Tumhe bhi ly k ja rhi thi...pr ab Zain Naina aur Rayyan aur mai jaein gy,double date you know."

"Not fair Mirhu."

"Next time think before you speak Ayaan bhai." Naina teased him.

"Sorry boss." Ayaan apologized.

And Mirha laughed "dont worry kiddo,I love you."

"Tum logon ka kuch nhi ho skta." Elders smiled looking at crazy genes.

-----

"Mirha beta!" Her mother came to her room.

"Ji Amma."

"Beta Arham k liye kuch bna do,wo 3 din baad aa rha hai."

"Ammi mujhe kuch bnana nhi ata aur ghr mein khana ban tou rha hai."

"Beta wo shohar hai tumhara,us k liye kuch kro gi tou usy acha lgy ga."

"Okay Mom."

"Aur kuch dhang k kpry pehno."

"Ammi!"

"Haan hr wqt ye pajamas mein ghumti rehti ho."

"Aap meri saas kyun bn rhi hain."

"Saas nhi bn rhi,tumhe kuch kaam ki baatein bta rhi hon aur haan lunch py phir kbhi chly jana."

"Amm.. she was about to argue but her mother's glare stopped her.

"Okay as you say mother." She surrenderd.

'Sorry crazy genes,I won't be able to join you guys for lunch.' She texted them in their group chat.

Ayaan 'why Mirhu?'

Rayyan 'what about our double date?'

Naina 'She is only Arham bhai's date Rayyan bhai.'

Zain 'aww boss waiting for her Arham Sir.'

Mirha 'I have to cook something for him and you guys know how well can I cook...so it'll take me whole day....Amma's order alert!'

And all of them laughed.

'Hass lo sb mera time bhi aaye ga.' She texted.

'All the best!' They wished her luck and she rolled her eyes.

'Whatever.'

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

At night...

Mirha wore a pistachio green chiffon dress,the only dress in her closet which was wearable at the moment because all other dresses were either super heavy or uncomfortable.

"I should wear these dresses too,it looks pretty good." She was admiring her dress looking at herself in the mirror.

"Oh ho Mirha,aj tou ap k chehry ki ronaq hi alag hai...aur ye suit,ab tou maan jao k tum bhi Arham bhai py flat ho." Zain teased her.

"Oh My My...you are looking so hot Mirhu." It was Ayaan.

"Ah,i got burned." Rayyan said after poking Mirha's arm.

"Tum logon k dramay khtm nhi hony na." Mirha asked.

"Aapi aik dfa mirror mein dekhein,you are all red." Naina giggled.

"Haan tou blush on lagaya hai,nazar tou aaye ga na." Mirha tried to cover up for her blushing cheeks.

Meanwhile Arham walked in "wassup guys."

"Hi bhai." Rayyan and Ayaan said in unison.

"Aap kb aaye Arham bhai?" Zain asked.

"Bs abhi jb ap meri biwi ko tng kr rhy thy." Arham said walking towards Mirha.
Mirha blushed with his advancing footsteps.

"Kesi ho?" He asked forwarding his hand infront of her.

"Theek hun." She gave her hand in his.

"Bhai hum kal milty hain phir." Zain gestured all of them to leave the room.They were all smiling as they left the room.

"Hath theek ho gya ap ka?" Mirha asked.

He gestured her to look at his hand which she was holding"theek hai ab tou,bandage ki bhi zarurat nhi hai."

"Oh haan." She left his hand.

"Khana laa dun?" She asked.

"Begum filhal bhook tou nhi hai...acha ye btao tum ny kha liya hai na khana?" He asked.

"Thora sa kha liya hai,thora sa khana hai."

He chuckled "acha aisy krty hain phir hum dono thora thora sa kha lety hain,aik hi plate mein ly aao."

And she smiled going out of the room.

Arham came out of the shower and saw Mirha arranging the food on the table.
"Khusbu tou bht achi aa rhi hai." Arham spoke settling on the couch not before hanging the towel on stand.

"Arey wah biryani." Arham exclaimed holding the spoon.

Mirha was looking at him with expectant eyes,she wanted him to praise her.It was her first time cooking and she took 4 hours to make his favourite biryani.

"Kesi hai?" She asked.

"Bht tasty hai,try some." He offered her a spoonful of rice and she took a bite from his hands and together finished their biryani.

"Iss plate mein kya hai?" He asked looking at the other plate full which was covered.

"Donuts." She smiled sheepishly.

"Mirha tum bahar ki cheezein khany sy baaz nhi aao gi na?"

"Ghr bnaye hain,ap ny nhi khany tou na khaein,mai tou khaon gi." She grabbed the donut and took a bite savouring it.

"Mmh..itna tasty hai." She was enjoying it to fullest,she took another bite and in next second Arham ate the donut from the other end of her mouth.

"Hmm..Not bad." He said chewing the donut and Mirha was stunned at his boldness.

"Aap ko sharam..."

"Uh hn,nhi aati begum,bilkul bhi nhi." He smirked making her frown.

"Mai ap ko shareef smjhti thi."

He chuckled pulling her close to him "Accha?!"

"Ji."

"Aur ab kya smjhti hain begum." He asked holding her in his arms.

"I am worst judge of a character."

"So my character surprised you begum?"

"I am stunned literally!"

"Happily stunned,isn't it?"

"Aap k pas hr baat ka jawab hai?" She was amused.

"Keh skti ho." He poked her nose.

"Sweatheart what else did you expect from a person who loves you and has all the rights to love you." He raised a valid question and she turned red.

"I love how easily you turn red,warm and shy."

"I am not shying." She tried being bold.

"Ahaan!" He raised his brow at her.

She nodded with a smirk etched over her face.

"What about now?" He touched face ever so lightly and her smile dropped as she felt her heart beating rapidly.

"What?" She tried to mask her condition with that confidence of hers.

"Drop the act begum,you are all flustered." He whispered in her ear making her smile as she felt those silly knots in her stomach.

"Aap ko neend nhi aai?" She asked putting her hand on his shoulder trying to change the topic.

"Tumhe aai hai?" He was concerned.

"Ji."

"Aao phir soein."He got up from the couch holding her hand.

"Mai ye bartan rakh aaon." She slid her hand out of his.

"Pehly idhr aao." He grabbed her shoulders gently pulling her in a hug. "I missed you begum,have you missed me?"

"I didn't." She said reciprocating the hug.

"Why?"

"Because you left without saying goodbye."

"So my begum was angry?"

"I still am."

"You were sleeping sweatheart,so i just stole a kiss." He carressed her hair and she moved out of the hug in a blink.

"You kissed me?"

"Yes,what's so shocking?"

"Why did you do that?"

"What do you mean Mirha?"

"How can you kiss someone while they are sleeping?"

"It was not someone Mirha,it was you and what's so wrong in kissing you?"

"It was my first kiss." She was disappointed.

"Huh?"

"You stole my first kiss while i was sleeping."

"Hold on,what are you even thinking...oh my God Mirha it wasn't a lip kiss."

"Then?"

"You crazy womam,you made me tensed."

"This,I did this." Arham pecked her cheek.

And Mirha was embarassed as hell.How she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.

"I am sorry."

"And i am amazed." He chuckled.
