Teri jhuki nazar,
Teri har adaa.
Mujhe keh rahi hain,
Yeh daastan.

"Give me." Seeing Azlan fiddling with the tie, Maha chuckled and went towards him. He looked at her and smiled slightly giving her the tie. His hand travelled to her waist holding her firmly while she was tying the tie around his neck. He was looking at her intensely making her blush red.

"Stop looking at me like that." She murmured, tightening the knot as she lightly patted his chest. He chuckled, twirling her as he back hugged her making her shriek at his sudden action. Nuzzling into the crook of her neck, he left a feathery kiss on her soft spot making her smile.

"Is it only your right to do something such?" He asked, huskily as his lips played with her earlobe. She was a blushing mess under him as she gazed down, looking at their entwined hand on her stomach.

It had been 3 months to that incident. They had celebrated their 4 month anniversary a week back. It took so much of efforts from him and his family to bring back the old Maha.

She had stopped interacting with people and used to be always in her room. Silence, that what she chose rather than letting out the bottled up frustration. Azlan was at a point of breaking down looking at the changed Maha. His heart used to break when he used to see his mother and sister crying over Maha. She used to feel scared of Shaan whom she once treated like her younger brother. Even in college, she stopped talking much. And after a final confrontation, she finally went it all out. He remembered how she break down in his arms, screaming loud but that was the end of her miseries and he was happy about it. Though, she had not completely came back to her normal self, but she was way better than before and thats what mattered to him.

She then manofy Shaan and how that young boy loved his bhabhi, he immediately smiled brightly at her asking for a chocolate for forgiveness making her burst out laughing.

"You are getting late now mister. Leave." Maha said, turning towards him as she pushed him out of the room, laughing. Her face was glowing softly, her eyes twinkling with happiness.

"Dil hi lelo tum." He said, grinning as he kept his right hand on his heart and then acted like fainting making her contagious laughter sound resonate in the environment.

(Take my heart away.)

Azlan too had changed in this period of time. He was no more than shy man though he still shied away whenever Maha will try to initiate proximity making her burst out laughing. He had grew comfortable with her. Though he was not that cheesy romantic man fanfictions described, but still he tried to voice out his thoughts to her. He used to frequently surprise her with small things. Sometimes being chocolates, sometimes gazray or flowers. He got to know that she was someone who was not much into materialistic things and thats something he loved. Even she had started singing infront of him.

"Wo maine le liya hain. Kidney, liver wagerah de sakte hain toh dede." She said mischievously as she winked at his.

(I have taken your heart. If you can give me your kidney, liver Or something then please give.)

"Romance ka kachra kar do tum bash." He said making a face which only ended up with getting caught by his mother who was wriggling her eyebrows at the duo making duo blush red.

(Just destroy my romantic mood.)

"I am getting late Mumma. Bye." Screaming, Azlan left while Samreen eyed her daughter in law teasingly. Indeed, marrying Azlan with Maha was the best decision of her life.

"I actually have something for you bacche." Smiling, Samreen said looking at the glowing Maha infront of her. Maha eyed her confusingly.

"These were gifted by my mother-in-law to me. I am passing it to you." She said, giving her a pair of anklets making Maha hug her tightly.

"I loved it Mumma." She said taking the anklets as she wore it immediately and got on her feets. She giggled as the sound of anklets echoed around as she danced lightly on her legs. Smiling, Samreen pecked her forehead leaving the room.

A very tired Azlan entered his room only to come across the mesmerising sight of his wife who was dressed in red Kurti and cigarette pants, a dupatta placed on her left shoulders as she was effortlessly applying the red lip gloss on her lips. Her face bare of any makeup except kajal and lip gloss. Her bouncy hairs falling straight on her back as she had parted them from the middle.

All his tiredly flew away in the thin coat of air as he eyes his wife. She looked effortlessly beautiful and an innocent seductress to him. He opened the button of his coat and opening it, he kept it on the sofa and went towards her, who was looking at him only.

"You look breathtaking." He whispered in her ears, pecking their lightly making her smile.

"Thankyou." She said, grinning at him as she twirled around making him hear the sound of her giggle and the anklets.

After he came out of washroom, he went to the balcony where a candle light dinner was waiting for him. Freshly colourful roses were kept in a bouquet in centre while scented candles were kept on the table. The yellowish lights which was falling on her face made the strings of his heart pulled at the high pace.

He went to her, hugging her from behind as he murmured a small thankyou to him.

She had put in allot of efforts in decorating the balcony and preparing the food and when she saw his face radiating with happiness, she knew it was all worth it.

Sitting beside each other, they enjoyed the food with some teasing,romance and love filled talks.

"I wanted to tell you something." She uttered, looking at sky where the pale crescent shone like silvery claw in the night sky. The blanket of stars was stretched to infinity as his left arm around her stomach and other playing with her hairs. His lips pecking her temple again and again.

"Hmm." He hummed, interlocking their fingers as he pecked on her fingers.

"I have a phobia. Phobia of stages. It had happened a few years back when I was in class 2nd. Though it was childish but I couldn't come out of it. I was doing the rehearsal for a play and the other students were laughing looking at me. Due to nervousness I fell on my face, breaking off my nose when everyone made fun of me. Later I came to know that someone pranked me by sticking a funny note behind my back.It was a small incident, I know but it hurted me immensely. I tried coming out of it, but I just couldn't. I never sing infront of everyone due to the fear of being judged."she said feeling too childish to share this with him.

He listened to her silently and then pondered over her words. A small child thinks allot and that funny thing for other made her have phobia of stages.

"You wanted to become a singer?" Caressing her hairs, he asked.

"It is just a hobby. Its just whenever someone says me about trying career in this field, I remember that incident. The embarrassment I faced and that torments me." She said in a small voice. He nodded, making up his mind to atleast make her sing once infront of everyone.

(A/N:Small incidents are enough to give us lifetime pain. The thing which sounds funny to you can make a tormented over it. Kindly don't make fun of someone and Especially laughing at someone is so embarrassing.🙂)

Azlan did nothing except pecking her forehead. No look of judgement Or something making her heart warmed up as she eyed him lovingly.

"I love you." She whispered, straightening herself as she kissed his lips softly and he reciprocated with the same passion.

"I love you too." He murmured coming out of kiss as he tucked her hair strands behind her ears and pecked over her nose making her giggle.
