24th December, 2018

Shumail and Eram stood in front of the Shumail's king sized bed still in their wedding attire, with their eyes wide in shock. They both slowly turned their gazes and met each other's eyes only to look away immediately, a blush creeping on Eram's cheeks and Shumail's ears turning pink. In front of them was his bed covered with rose petals and a big heart lay in the middle of it made with the petals and the bed was covered with layers of flowers that hung from the ceiling all the way down to the sides of the bed. Candles were placed all over in the room as the room glowed in its light making it look so magical.

The ambiance was screaming romance and had it been any other situation, they both would have loved it but in that moment they were shocked and a bit embarrassed.

Shumail cleared his throat abruptly as he turned to look at Eram who was blushing profusely. He tried to find his voice to speak but no words came out as they both stood in front of the bed unsure. He shook his head at his friends as his eyes narrowed.

Thank you guys for making this all the more awkward!

He silently walked to the bed as he held the duvet and dusted the petals off the bed and collected all the strings of flowers that hung from the ceiling as he placed them at the back of the bed.

"Who sleeps with rose petals all over the bed!" He muttered under his breath but Eram seemed to have heard him as she tried hiding her giggle. After he was done he walked back to her as he proceeded with opening the buttons of his Sherwani and removed it, standing in his vest and payjama. She quickly turned her gaze away as her eyes went a little wide, the blush not leaving her cheeks.

"Oh yeah. That's the closet. You can go find your things in there and change in some comfortable clothes." He spoke as she nodded quickly and sprinted towards it as she closed the door behind her. He took his time to blow off all the candles in the room as he dusted the petals off the couch as well. The closet door opened as he turned around to look at Eram who stood with her head bowed slightly, still in her bridal outfit.

"Everything alright?" He asked.

"I uh kinda need your help." She spoke in a small voice with her head bowed as he hummed in answer and walked up to her. She turned around with her eyes pinched tight shut and her hands curled in a fist by her side.He was nervous as he started to remove all the pins attached to her heavy dupatta to keep it in place.

"Give me your hand." He said as she hummed in question. He took her palm as he started placing all the pins in her palm one by one. The dupatta slipped off of her head resting on her shoulder. He hesitated for a moment but then proceeded to remove the pins from the dupatta from where it was attached on her shoulders. In the process as his fingers brushed against her skin making her squirm a bit but she tried not to show it. He cleared his throat as he removed the last of it and even before she could have held it, her dupatta slipped completely off of her and fell on the floor.

He picked it up and wrapped it around her shoulders as he proceeded to remove the pins that kept her hairs tied in a bun. Her hairs fell open from her bun falling down her shoulders and he stood mesmerised looking at her face, a few strands covering her forehead as his hand went up to her face and he tucked them behind her ears, making her blush profusely.

He quickly moved back as she then went back in the closet to change. She walked out dressed in a simple salwar kameez with her heairs tied in a loose braid and her make up completely off, making her finally feel relieved. He quickly went to change as he changed into his track pants and didn't bothered with wearing a tshirt. As he walked out, he looked at her who was sitting on the couch fumbling with the hem of her dupatta as he cleared his throat grabbing her attention.

"You take the bed. I'll make myself comfortable on the couch." He spoke, walking to the bed as he grabbed his pillow and a blanket, and walked to the couch. She silently walked to the bed and made herself comfortable as she grabbed the duvet and covered herself with it.

She rose up a little to have a glance at him who was sprawled on the couch covering himself with the blanket as he placed his hand below his head, his eyes closed.

"If you keep looking at me like that I wont be able to sleep." He spoke with his eyes still closed bringing her back from her thoughts as she quickly looked away embarrassed with her cheeks turned red. She pulled the blanket over her head as she bit on her tongue, making him smile.

There was complete silence in the room as she didn't even once peeked from the duvet after that. Both of them were tired from all the functions as they closed their eyes trying to sleep when there was a ringing of a phone. His eyes shot open as he looked around for the source of it and found a flashing light glowing from inside the glass vase. His eyebrows knitted together as he pushed aside his blanket and walked to the vase.

Removing the artificial flowers from it he put his hand inside and got the phone which was still ringing as he looked at it to find it was the alarm. He put it off quickly not being able to bear the annoying sound.

"Who in the world placed it here!" He huffed but let it slide as he walked back to the couch and lied down. He had just covered himself again with the blanket when another ringing voice made him sit up abruptly as he looked at Eram who had sat up too looking for the source of it.

"What's this noise? Where is it coming from?" She asked.

"I don't know." He answered as he stood up and started looking around for the source of it. He walked to the dresser from where the ringing sounded, as he pulled open the first drawer and took out an alarm clock. He pushed the button and quickly shut it off, letting out a huff.

"Meri billi mujhi se meow!" He muttered as his eyes narrowed remembering the time when he had suggested the idea of placing various alarms in the room on the wedding night whoever among them gets married first, and he was regretting it to the core in that moment.
(My foot, my tutor!)

He whined mentally knowing clearly that there was more to come, making him want to cry.

"Who placed it there?" He turned around to face her as she looked at him with confused eyes.

"Sorry." He muttered, closing his eyes.

"What for?" She asked and that very moment the room filled with the noise of the alarms ringing as she placed her palms on her ears, not being able to bear the piercing noise.

"This." He spoke under his breath as his shoulders slumped.

"Please stop this noise." She spoke, cringing at it as he quickly nodded and began searching for them as she too joined him to search for them. They ran in the room from here and there searching for the alarms. The volume kept rising of some of the alarms and both of them had to find those first for they weren't able to bear the continuously increasing volume that was blaring in their ears.

A couple times they collided with each other while they ran in the room and again began searching as they finally found each of the alarm and put them off. They both fell on the bed, clearly exhausted from all the running as their breaths was coming out it pants.

"Who does such things!" She exclaimed with her eyes closed.

"I'm sorry." He said.

They both turned their face to each other as they both ended up laughing remembering their weird situation a few moments ago.

"It really was tiresome." She spoke looking at the ceiling.

"I realise it now." He said letting out a huff making her giggle. His hand slipped off from where he had placed over his stomach as it landed on the bed above her hand. They both tensed as their heads slowly turned to each other, looking at each other intently. She turned her gaze away quickly and moved back as he cleared his throat as he quickly sat up not being able to handle the position they were in, with their faces inches apart.

"We should sleep. Good night." He spoke as he walked to the couch and lied down, covering himself with the blanket and closed his eyes letting sleep take over him.

When Shumail woke up in the morning, he sat up rubbing his neck which was aching as he felt he pulled a muscle. With half sleepy eyes he stood up as he made his way to the bathroom. Wiping his eyes he opened the door of the bathroom when he heard a small scream as without a second thought he had closed it shut, his eyes wide awake with horror.

"Hya! Who are you? And what are you doing in my bathroom?" It was the first thing that he muttered.

"Shumail!" Eram shrieked from inside, not believing her ears.

"Oh yeah!" Shumail went silent as he remembered that he was a married man now and the girl inside his bathroom was his wife. "I'm sorry." He said but no voice came from inside. The door opened and Eram stood in front of him looking at him with narrowed eyes and glared daggers at him. Shumail scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment and gave her a sheepish smile.

"Are you serious?" Eram gave him an astonished look. "That was the first thing that came to your mind?!" She asked further.

"What? You can't blame me!" Shumail spoke.

"Seriously Shumail?" Eram looked ag him incredulously.

"It's not everyday that I get married and have a wife at home! I am habitual to roam around in my room however and whenever I want." He spoke in his defence as her mouth hung open, clearly bewildered.

"That's what you have to say in your defence?" She said as she looked at him through narrowed eyes.

"Now, are you planning on putting a fight with me on this?" He asked raising his eyebrows. "Had my mind clicked that I was married, I would've definitely knocked the door before entering."

"What do you even mean by 'clicked'? How in the world can anyone forget that he's married just the day after his wedding!" She exclaimed flabbergasted.

"I was half asleep...Fine! I apologise." He said as she let out a huff and moved from his way as he quickly dashed in the bathroom before she could say something more.

He walked out of the bathroom wiping a towel on his hairs as the water dripped from them sliding down his well sculpted body, after taking a hot shower to relax the stiffness of the muscles for he waz really tired. He stood in just a towel wrapped around his waist in the middle of the room under the fan with it running on full speed, as he wiped his hairs with the towel.

He saw Eram entering the room as her eyes went wide seeing him in just a towel and she quickly turned her back to him holding onto the doorknob, making him chuckle lightly. His wicked brains kicked in as he smiled evilly with the thought to annoy her a little.

"Can't you just go and change in the closet?!" She spoke as he hummed in answer but took steps towards her. Not hearing any voice, she thought he went in the closet as she took in a deep breath of relief and turned around only to jump on her place in shock, seeing him right behind her and a small gasp left her lips.

He slammed his hand on the door closing it as she too backed up against the door with him caging her petite form. He placed his other hand beside her as he moved his face dangerously close to her making her back up a little and close her eyes tight shut.

"Seeing me half naked, does your feelings get aroused and your heartbeat quicken?" He asked in a hushed voice near her ear but she couldn't decipher a single word of what he said due to their close proximity. "Is that why you asked me change in the closet?" He tried suppressing his chuckle as his eyebrows danced in amazement, looking at her.

"Don't worry baby I'm all yours." He said and he moved back as he erupted in laughter making her open her eyes.

Her eyes narrowed at him when she realised he was teasing her as she ran behind him but he had already entered the closet and closed the door behind himself.

"Shumail! You pervert!" She exclaimed as he laughed more.
