OS on Drabbles: The Boring Wedding

A/N: Before you all start hating me, in my defense, I blame Neha for introducing Muntasir and Seher to me after EBY. Now along with MeerAsim, MuntaHer is also haunting me, and the result is right below. Enough said! Hope you enjoy it. I LOVE YOU FOR GIVING ME MUNTAHER, NEHA!

********************************

"Why look so grumpy ya'll?" Seher walked in with a plate full of pakoras in her hand as she chewed on one and gestured at the gang to move aside to give her some space on the decorated bench...all the 6 siblings shifted a bit to the right and left so that their sister-in-law can make some room for herself in the middle of Maaz and Meesam, who rightfully grabbed two pakoras from her plate.... 'God she looked beautiful even when she chewed' Muntasir stole a quick glance at his wife who looked unbelievably gorgeous in the pink and golden suit...sitting on a chair located at the left end of the bench, Muntasir in his casual-formal attire was scrolling something on his phone while babysitting his siblings, who looked nothing less than bored...

"Shaadi mein aaye ho yaar, Enjoy kaaro!" she nonchalantly said looking at the bored looks of the siblings... "What is there to enjoy?... bloody clowns!" Mehrab made a face looking at the stage where the bride and groom were taking their own selfies with pouty face... "Exactly! Clowns! Look around dudes! Full of entertainment! this is a live circus where you get to witness multi-colored clowns running around like some hyper zombies...the only disappointment I'm facing right now is that instead of popcorn I got pakoras...but then something is better than nothing...so can't complain" Seher shared while rolling her eyes, and all the Khan kids chuckled.... "Don't believe me? Lemme elaborate!" she cleared her throat as she moved the plate to her right and left, allowing the other kids to enjoy some crunchy chicken fritters..."Le lo yaar, maine nahin banaya hain" she rolled her eyes at her husband who realized that his wife could even hypnotize a lion with her rolled eyes! She was stunning! Muntasir reluctantly took a piece, adjusted his leather jacket and went back to his screen...

"60% of the guests you see here are mostly couples, the wives are too busy trying to look their best as if it's their own wedding and the photos must look pro-max for their 'social media' followers" she quoted..."Look at those two aunties!" Seher instantly pointed to a decorated tree, under which 2 ladies were chatting with enthusiasm while gesturing towards their outfits that looked no less than bridal lehengas ... all the kids including her husband turned their gazes to look at the pointed direction and she continued, "I can bet on my kidneys, they are wearing their own wedding outfits" and everyone let out a snicker when she kept her tone casual...

"On the other hand, the husbands are living on a different zone here...they have got nothing to do with the function, or the relatives, not even the bride or groom... the only reason that got them to this place is the glorious food" Seher emphasized on the last few terms and this time the boys laughed out sharing high-fives with one another and the girls giggled... Muntasir simply snorted at his phone while shaking his head, amazed by his wife's sense of humor.... "I will spare the poor bride and groom as it is their big day, so they get to do and feel whatever they want" she shrugged off before popping another fritter into her mouth.... "10% of the guests are these little children who have no clue about the reason behind this function...all they care about is the freedom they got to play and eat without any restrictions" Seher explained before moving to her next target...

"AND Out of all these clownery, your parents are the winners" and her eyes softened as she rested her chin on her right palm, admiring the couple who were chatting with the parents of the bride with an utmost grace and power... "they are the cutest" she softly exclaimed with a dreamy smile on her face as she watched Meerab and Murtasim standing together looking all regal... She knew that the vibe her fuppo and Khan sahab carried had the enchanted power to surpass any royal couple that existed on the face of the earth...even the British empire did not stand a chance ....and he lifted his gaze from the phone screen to steal a glimpse of her beautiful admiring face...she owned a gorgeous smile... all the boys exhaled a deep sigh to demonstrate cringiness and earned a dead glare from their sister-in-law, so they immediately let out a soundless apology while holding their ears... "Maar khaogey tum sab, bata rahi hoon mein" Seher warned them half seriously.... "Please continue" Mehr urged, shushing her brothers...

"Now the most interesting population comes to 30% of the guests, the youngsters... like us" she referred and then turned to her left to the boys of Khan family, "ignoring that old soul, you three look so grumpy, but look around, all the other boys are either taking selfies or scheming on how to approach beautiful girls" she sarcastically noted, when Muntasir rolled his eyes at the remark of his wife calling him an 'old soul'.... Then she turned her head to the girls on her right and continued, "the young girls in such functions are such treats to watch...you can find the real definition of a plastic face... Dulhan se zyada makeup toh innke thobrey mein hain," she threw a disgusted look at the group of girls and the kids again let out a loud laugh but instantly caught themselves under control when they noticed some confused gazes turning towards them.... "Thobraa!!" Maham was unable to suppress her giggle....

"there!" Seher frowned at the sight as she grabbed the attention of her audience towards a group of 3 girls, "those three stooges have been simping over your big bro for the past 1 hour!" She dropped the bomb and all the siblings turned their heads to Muntasir, who shot them a glare and they turned back their heads to the topic of discussion at hand... Seher unaware of the sudden exchange within the siblings, continued with her analysis "poor girls! No future at all. They have nothing to do with studies, future or career, all they worry about is good-looks, food, shopping, gossip, and simping over men. Then after marriage, start complaining about not getting their share of respect. Arrey bhai, agar tum naukrani ke degree lekar jaogi toh tumhe raani jaisi treatment thori milegi? ... atleast build some self-respect if not a career...bloody Idiots!" she concluded with a pathetic sigh....

"Keeping everything aside, how do you know that they are simping over Bhai?" Meraj asked with curiosity... "Meraaaj!" Muntasir growled, "she's just bluffing" Muntasir tried to dismiss the topic when he was shut up by his wife with her unfiltered words... "I'll kiss your brother right here if I am proven wrong" Seher arched an eyebrow throwing the challenge straight at her husband ...she knew he knew that she was right but he least expected her to take it up as a challenge in proving her right and everyone on the bench gasped in utter disbelief and amusement....Ignoring his brother, Mehrab turned to Seher and questioned, "what if he is wrong?".... "Then he will have to take us all for ice cream every night for a month" she declared... "YESSS!" the siblings cheered....

"Excuse me!" Muntasir protested to grab the attention of his siblings... "How is that fair? I am not getting the kiss for 30 days!" he arched an eyebrow, making his case...when the pink shade of her outfit tended to reflect on her cheeks and he so wanted to win at that very moment.... "There is no deal, unless it's 30-30" he smartly turned the table with the pretense of negotiation and everyone turned to face the girl in the middle of the bench.... "Done!" Seher accepted without a blink and everyone was left with their mouths open....

Seher turned her head to the group of girls who were to her good luck standing a few feet away from their bench and she blew a soft whistle loud enough to catch their attention but quite low enough to be suppressed by the lousy music playing by the stage....with a proud smile on her face, Seher raised her left hand to the left side of her face and gestured to her ring finger as her eyes slightly waved to her left with a tilt of her head, confirming the man on demand was already taken...she arched her brows with a victorious smile as she winked at them..... Two of the girls reacted as if they were going to break down at any moment and the third one threw a look depicting her disapproval in jealousy....

"Ooooohhh" all the kids on the bench cooed in unison as they turned their gazes towards Muntasir, who simply rolled his eyes....Mehr raised a brow at her brother and stated, "and I call this heartbreak slash jealousy..." then her gaze shifted to Seher, "congratulations, girl! You ruled!" she proudly smiled at her sister-in-law... "and I'm robbed" Muntasir muttered under his breath as he got off his chair and walked to the bench "Chaliye! Ice cream khilate hain" he heaved a deep sigh of disappointment ....

The kids cheered as it also gave them relief from the boring wedding.... They only attended the function for their parents, especially their father who they could not dare to refuse....but they also knew if their big bro took their supervision, Murtasim would never refuse.... He always trusted his elder son with his siblings....

"YOU ARE THE BEST" both Mehr and Meesam exclaimed before sharing a quick hug with Seher and rushed towards the exit of the venue, "Ye pakro, go sit in the car...and let baba know that I am taking you all out for ice-cream then we will go home straight" Muntasir handed the car keys over to Maham before she excitedly took her leave along with the rest ....

"You are a lifesaver Bhabi" Mehrab blew a flying kiss towards Seher while the youngest boy quickly wrapped his right hand around her shoulder and dropped a peck on her temple "and I officially love you" Maaz declared with pride before following his other siblings..... "Lets go Bhabi" Meraj grinned at the girl, who smiled at the overwhelmed affectionate gestures of the Khan kids.... "Go ahead, I'll drop the plate and inform fuppo" said Seher as she carefully pulled herself off the bench adjusting her dupatta with one hand while holding the plate with another, when she felt him close....

Before she could look up to meet his gaze, her breath was taken away when she felt his tender lips on hers....it was a slow yet quick kiss, just a little fraction of taste of those tempting luscious lips.... he instantly pulled back to look down at her flushed face...."I thought my wife deserved a better reward" slipping his left hand into his pocket, Muntasir whispered as he brushed the corner of his lower lip with the pad of his right thumb while keeping his gaze on her, absorbing her downcasted flushed face which was in the process of digesting his sudden act of intimate affection... her left hand nervously clutched onto the plate while right hand pushed the open tresses behind her ear .....

"You're beautiful, Seher.... I think I'm falling in love with you ". Out of everything this was not the time or place for such a confession but his heart could not hold the overwhelmed emotions he was feeling for his wife ever since she became his better half.... She still did not dare to meet his gaze but her quivering lips, pink cheeks, heavy nervous breaths, and downcasted lashes revealed her state of mind and he smiled to himself... "Chalein?" Muntasir whispered, "Phuppo se poochkar aati hoon" with that, Seher quickly walked past him all red, leaving behind her husband with his heart thundering inside his chest....
