Another day rosed up. With new hopes and mystery. Rehab's mother was in safe, as the doctor inspected the observation ans declared she can be discharged by this evening. Which a relief to Wajid and his family. Roohi couldn't be more happy. She thanked the almighty thousand times. Currently she was helping her mother in law to sit, helping her with her breakfast. Rehab went to haveli to get bath and ready.

Neziha found Roohi's cheerful self being disappeared somewhere. She looked tired and her eyes were red. Did she cried? "Beta ap soyi nhi kya?" She asked in a meek voice.

Roohi smiled fakely and nodded in yes, "soyi thi, ap btaye apko takleef toh nhi ho rhi na? Kahi dard toh nhi h?" She asked being generally concerned.

Meanwhile Rehab enters the room with a fresh flower bouquet for his mother, along with Wajid and Ziya. Roohi stood up, wiping her mother in law's mouth with a tissue. She moved in a corner seeing Rehab approaching to his mother. She doesn't want herself to be the 3rd one in between his mother and him. Rehab pecked his mother's forehead.

Roohi smiled softly at mother son duo. Ziya side hugged her making her flinch. "Ap yaha kone me kyu khadi h? Inn maa bete ke chakkr me hum btana bhul gye, ap bhi kuch kha le Roohi" Ziya said caressing her hair.

Rehab's eyes snapped to her. She nodded looking down. Neziha was witnessing her son's glimpse again and again towards Roohi. She motioned Roohi to come closer, Roohi obediently stood by her side.

"Rehab, mamma ke bad biwi ki kheriyat pucha karo, biwi rehmat h, izzat h, ghar ki zeenat h, tum akele kyu gye? Meri beti ko kyu nhi lekar gye?" She asked slapping his arm. Rehab frowned at his mother, "mom woh khud ruk gyi, bolo na" he says as his mother kept on slapping his arm.

Wajid and Ziya chuckled at them. Roohi couldn't help but giggle. Rehab narrowed his eyes at her. "Mamma wo aainda dhyan rakhenge, hena?" She asked with teasing eyes. Rehab rolled eyes and hummed.

"Chalo jao, Roohi ko haveli le jao, muje apne bhai or bhabi se baat krni h" she says shooing them away. Roohi smiled and mouthed thank you to her mother in law.

Rehab agrees, as they walked out of the hospital. Roohi yawns being soo sleepy. She couldn't sleep the whole night, her mind was filled with chaos caused in their life. She was still not sure that Rehab would be by her side, does he hate her? Or not. Many questions were arising in her mind.

But didn't had any courage to ask him. The drive was quite and very uncomfortable. But no uttered a word.

Rehab stopped the car infront of the haveli. As he turn to her side, He found her sleeping, hugging her knees. Her eyes seems to have dark circles. Some lines formed on her temple shows she was not in peaceful sleep but something was disturbing her even in her sleep.

He had no courage to wake her up. Sighing, he got down the car and proceeded to carry her in his arms to their room. He knew what was troubling her. He made a mental note to talk to her and ease up her insecurities.

As he reached their room, he slowly pushed their room door with his one leg, entering the room. Which was completely dark. As the curtains were being the barrier between the lights.

He softly tucked her to the bed, covering her properly with duvet. He looked at her face with much more eagerness. Her small glimpse were a charge to his heart and his soul. He softly raised hand tracing her cheekbone. He missed her usual cheerful self.

He heart skipped numerous times. The emptiness he was feeling before was now replaced with solance. The harmony their relationship carried was made with trust.

While here Ruhaan woke up by the loud yells of no one but his own wife. Who was fuming and pacing back and forth in the room. She was talking on a call with her classmate.

Ruhaan yawned and checked the time it was aroun 7 : 35am.

"Ap humare pese de rhi h yaa hum khud aa kr le! Ap smjhti kya h khudko! Hum ap par case kar denge!" Rooh said seething in anger.

Ruhaan narrowed his eyes at her words. He stood and went towards her. She ended the call and threw her keypad phone on the bed, huffing and puffing her cheeks.

"Kitne ka gotala kar diya tumara?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

"Purey 25rs ka! Smjhti kya h apne ap ko itna pyara book mark banaya tha humne!" She says keeping her hands on her hips. He raised his one eyebrow, he coughed awkwardly. "25rs ke liye case karogi?" He asked chuckling. She narrowed her eyes at her husband.

"Kyu? Nhi kar sakti? Apse matlab, jaaye yaha se" she says making his eyes widened. Today something is definitely wrong with her.

He quietly picked up his towel, putting it around his neck. He goes to take bath. As he enters the bathroom. He brushed his teeths and his eyes went to a blue and white pack of sanitary pads. He mouth oh and did his bathroom business.

As he was all ready, he dialled his father's no. Asking about Neziha's health. He was just about to end the call when Rooh's ear piercing voice made him run to her direction. She was somewhere in the middle of the lounge crying hysterically. Ruhaan's heart skipped a beat at her half laying posture on the sofa. As if she fainted.

He quickly comes downstairs and scopped her in his arms. "Rooh? Kya hua? Tum chllayi kyu?" He asked cupping her cheeks. While she, blinked her eyes innocently at him, munching a carrot.

"Hum kab chillaye? Zra batana?" She asked cutely making him sigh.

Ruhaan sighed at her mood swings. Her periods were hitting him!

Meanwhile Rehab enters the lounge, Rooh waved a hey to him making Ruhaan roll his eyes. "Rehab bhai ap bhar ja rhe h?" She asked with excitement.

"Nhi" Rehab said shrugging.

She frowned and sat with a big pout. Ruhaan was soo amused by antics. "Kya hua Rooh? Kuch chahye tume?" He asked softly taking her hand in his hand. Her soft hands were soo squashy.

"Hath nhi lagaye, clingy na ho humse ap! Or ap kyu nhi ja rhe bhar Rehab bhai?" She says with tears in her eyes. Rehab stood with zero knowledge that what was happening here! Ruhaan's eyes widened at her tears.

She sniffled and leaned on his shoulder. "Dekhe apke bhai ne toh humara ice cream khana ban kr diya h, kya wakiye hum boj h sab par ek ice cream hi toh mangi thi!? Sirf ek? Shayad wo bhi nhi naseeb me" she says crying buckets. Being too emotional.

Ruhaan frowned at his wife and side hugged her. He glared at Rehab, Rehab glared back, mouthing, "ab mene kuch nhi kiya"

"Tu bhar kyu nhi ja rha, chal ja lekr aa ice cream!" Ruhaan ordered Rehab. Hearing the word ice cream Eira's ear perked. She too came downstairs licking her lips. "Kaha h ice cream?" Rehab and Ruhaan face palmed.

Soon Saad being a saviour of his brothers entered with ice creams. Rooh and Eira squealed. Rooh quickly took her share and speeded up to kitchen.

"Dekhle bhai pta nhi ab kya kregi teri biwi" Rehab whispered to Ruhaan. Ruhaan nodded and went behind her.

While she sat on the side table, crumbling the chips on top of ice cream she had her ice cream enjoying the delicious taste.

Ruhaan sighed at her behaviour. "Ye ladkiya itna khati h toh jata kaha h?" He mumbled eyeing her from top to bottom.

Meanwhile here Roohi was up, she got fresh and took and long relaxing shower. Coming out of the bathroom, cladded in dark red suit with shiffon dupatta she was drying her hair when Rehab entered the room with breakfast for her. Their eyes met, her heart pounded loudly.

Rehab sighed at her gloominess. He kept the plate on the bed and went towards her. Feeling his hard chest hitting her back, she stiffened. Meanwhile he took the towel from her and dried up her hair. She looked more beautiful with hair open. Her red dress was doing something to his heart. It flip and flopped. 

He leaned down at her level and whispered in her ear. While she was frozed at her spot. "Ye dress mat phena karo" he whispered as his lips brushed her ear feeling goosebumps.

"Kyu? Ye toh ap hi laye the na?" She asked turning to him. Their faces were inch apart. He sneaked his arm around her waist. "Hmm" he says playing with fingers.
While she looked at his face longingly.
"Kya dekh rahi ho Roohi?" He asked softly.

"Kuch nhi, bss yuhi" she mumbled meekly.

He pecked her forehead which made her heart beat wildly. She couldn't hold and lean on his chest, breaking into sobs. Rehab wrapped his arms around his waist tightly, letting her cry and ease up the tension.

"Roohi jesa tum soch rhi ho aesa nhi h, me janta hu tum kabhi mers ya mere pariwar ka bura nhi chahogi" he says caressing her hair.

"Lekin muje darr lag rha h, ap mujse nafrat krne lge toh?" She asked with teary eyes.

"Me tumse kbhi mafrat nhi krunga Roohi, pta nhi kyu, lekin tum mera sukoon ho, tum muje achi lagti ho" he says cupping her face. She smiled and says, "kitna old fashion confession tha" they both chuckled at her words. "Kuch kha lo, tabiyat kharab ho jayegi warna or mama ne alg muje dandte barsane h fir" he says making her mood better.

She nodded and had her breakfast. While he sat beside her checking some emails. Roohi couldn't help but just take some glimpse of her husband, who looked effortlessly attractive and more manly.

At evening.

Ruhaan was amazed by his wife's antics she got her payment. She was squealing and telling everyone about it.

He smiled at her small achievements.

Meanwhile Saad was on a call with someone when Ruhaan heard hi by mistake. "Haan ko kuch nhi batana abhi woh gusse me kuch kar na de uss bhudhe ko"

Ruhaan crossed his arms and called Saad, "Saad"

Saad turned around with eyes widened. "Or muje kya nhi batana h?" He asked patting his shoulder.

"Choro na bhai" saad says shrugging. Ruhaan glared at him and Saad sighed, narrating the whole story behind Neziha's accident. Ruhaan's eyes widened.

"Bhai ap gusse me kuch ulta seedha mat karna" saad pleaded.

Ruhaan smirked and patted his shoulder. "Me nhi meri biwi karegi ab jo bhi karna h" he says smirking and goes out whistling.

Meanwhile Rooh followed him, asking him. "Ap humare liye kya layenge?" He smiled at her cuteness.

"Jo tum kahogi, badle me muje kya milega?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

Rooh pouted, thinking for some seconds, she beamed and said, "ek pyara sa, motu gol mol, bacha" she says and speeded inside giggling. Making his eyes widened, he chuckled and shooked his head.
