Mere janmdin par itni saare duaaon ke liye aap sabka tahe dil se SHUKRIYA...🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏

"Hmmm...kya shandaar biryaani thi yaar......is bande ko toh mujhe patana tha....phir zindagi Biryani ke saaye me guzarti" Aazeen said licking her lips

"Zafar restaurateur hai..chef nahin" Kabir made a face

"To uski restaurants me khaati muft ....... muft ki cheezein toh aur achi lagti hain"

"Haan chal..ab dhang ki movie laga" Kabir hit Aazeen's head not wanting to listen more of her Zafar jaap and sat next to her covering himself with the blanket.

"Conjuring dekhte hain..." Aazeen picked up the remote

"Bahut baar dekhi hai yaar"

"Koi nai...ek baar phir se dekh lo"

Both of them leaned on to the bedrest taking a pillow in their lap

Half way through the film, Kabir was asleep.

"Oye mote..apna bhaari wajan hata" Aazeen elbowed him making him squirm "Gundi jaag gaya mai toh acha nahi hoga"

"Haan toh ja kar sofe par ulto" Aazeen fought back only to meet with silence from her husband's side.
Looking sideways, she saw a glass of water and grinned.

And with in few seconds, Kabir was found sitting upstraight with Aazeen laughing like anything

"Tu ruk...bach ja aaj mere se" Kabir threw the blanket and chased Aazeen who made a dash towards the washroom. Before she could bolt the door, it was pushed by Kabir who had a smug look "Ab kahaan Motto?"

And next second, the shower valve was opened making Aazeet wet. She tried to pull him in too and the push and pull game resulted Kabir hitting one corner
"Aah"

Just then, he heard his mother's voice
"Kabir....."

"Jee Mama..." He answered while Aazeen checked on his leg.

"Wo mujhe kuch zaruri baat karni thi......darwaza khula tha toh mai andar aa gayi"

Both Kabir and Aazeen came out of the washroom not even thinking that they were a married couple and coming out of the washroom together could be percieved very bold.

Anabia averted her gaze away and cursed herself for being the intruder but then her eyes caught Kabir limping a little.......

She was surprised and gave Aazeen an impressive look.."Her daughter in law was breaking the stereotypes"

"Kya huwa Mama?"

"Wo baad me..pehle apne baal pocho....itni raat me paani lagane ki kya zaroorat thi"

"Sab aapki bahu ki karastani hai....." Kabir narrowed his eyes at Aazeen who stuck out her tongue at him.

Anabia was feeling a little odd and thought of leaving the couple alone but then turned to Kabir
"Aur tum thoda badaam doodh piya karo "

"Huh..." Kabir was clueless as to why her mother was suddenly preparing his diet chart

"Piya karo bas......Aazeen beta dhyan rakha karo zara shohar ka" Anabia smiled and left the room.

"Ji aap ke liye doodh le aaun?" Aazeen batted her eyelashes to which Kabir passed a glare

Wiping his hair, Kabir threw the towel at Aazeen ... "Stand pe laga de...."

"Tumhari naukar nahin hun mai"

"Hmm...theek hai naukrani" Kabeer covered himself with the duvet closing his eyes.

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

Azeem was surprised when he came out of the washroom and found his clothes set on the bed. Even a matching tie was kept along.

Smiling to himself, he got dressed and just when he picked up the tie, Raniya entered the room.

She was not meeting Azeem's eyes as today for the first time she had taken out clothes for him and like a good husband, he had wore without creating any fuss.

"Umm....ye" Raniya was feeling really shy handing him his wallet and handkerchief.

"Thank you" Azeem smiled a little and leaned in to kiss her forehead.

Raniya closed her eyes savouring the warmth of his lips.

"Jaldi aa jayein..naashta laga diya hai"

"Chalo saath chalte hain" Keeping his wallet, Azeem came forward.

On his way to office, Azeem had a perpetual smile on his face..

"Aaj mausam beimaan hai bada....."

Listening to the lyrics of the song, he turned to look at his brother who was going through a file and simultaneously humming a song.

"Didn't you get a better song?"

"Nup...it perfectly describes your mood" Kabir winked at Azeem lifting his head

"Shut up...."

"Tumhare khwabon ko background music de raha tha yaar....." Kabir shrugged

"Mai Maliks wale project ke bare me soch raha tha"

"Seriously Azeem......itna ganda PJ?" Kabir scoffed making Azeem avert his gaze "File padho"

"Taaki aap Raniya bhabhi ke khwaabon me utarein"

"Toh....why can't I...she is mine"

Kabir's head whipped round in astonishment "Woah...Am I talking to Azeem Faizan Ali"

Azeem didn't find the need to answer his brother and lowered the car window to enjoy the cool breeze brushing his face. Something was there in the air today !!

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

"Oye Motto...jaldi aa ek cheez dikhata hun" Kabir entered his room and not finding anyone, he looked at the closed washroom door and shouted.

Dropping himself on the couch, he relaxed a bit and then keeping the phone aside,bent to open his shoes.

"Ye gundi kya kar rahi hai tab se" Kabir frowned and walked towards the washroom door and gave a loud knock. Getting no response, he pushed the handle down only to see an empty washroom...."Kahaan gayi?"

"Mama..mama.." he came in the hall where his mother was sitting with other family members

"Kya huwa bhai..kyun itna gala phaad rahe ho?"

"Aazeen kahaan gayi...?"

"Uff yeh tadap..." Shamir hooted

"Bakwaas band kar...... " Kabir glared at Shamir and again turned to Anabia

"Arre Aazeen hospital me hai"

"Kya.....kya ho gaya use" Kabir panicked

"Use kuch nahi huwa, uski Ammi ki tabiyat achanak se thodi kharab ho gayi thi...abhi wo theek hain"

Kabir breathed a sigh of relief and immediately dialled her number.

Speaking to her for a good thirty minutes, he hung down.

He was in the room going through his mails half heartedly. Getting done with it, he looked around and rubbed the bridge of his nose.."he was feeling down"

The next day, his sour mood was visible on the dining table and even in office.

He entered Azeem's cabin with a file and found Junaid already there.

"Kya huwa bhai...aisa muh bana rakha hai....sare log tumhe Azeem samajh rahe hain" Junaid chuckled at Kabir who just shrugged and sat down next to him..

"Matlab Aazeen tumhara sab sukh chain le kar chali gayi" Junaid couldn't resist taking a jibe as this was the first time Kabir was at the receiving end.

Ignoring his cousin, Kabir opened the file and looked at Azeem who was on a phone call and smiling. He raised his brows at Junaid who giggled "Bhabhi ka phone hai.......lunch ka puchne ke liye phone kiya tha but ye shaksh baatein dinner tak le jate dikh rahe hain"

Kabir smiled.....he was happy for his brother. Wish he also ....

His thoughts were disturbed by a shake....."Kabir .."

"Aaa haan wo just ....."

"Rehne de beta ye zoning out tumhara kal se chal raha hai" Junaid shook his head and focussed on the file.

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

"Shamir...aaj mere sath so jao" Kabir asked Shamir to give him company for the night.

"Ahan dil nahin lag raha akele?" Shamir made a fake pout

"Tu rehne de...Hammad.." Kabir moved towards Hammad's room

"Arre aap toh naraaz gaye....chalein chalta hun....web series dekhi jayegi" Shamir immediately got up

"Follow me" Kabir ordered

After an hour,

"Bhai ye kya gajab kism ka behaviour hai aapka...aapne hi bulaya tha na mujhe" Shamir was beating a room's door as just a few minutes ago, he was mercilessly thrown out through the same door.

Kabir had welcomed him with an open arms an hour ago but with passing time, glares started coming his way and at last he was shown the door in a very uncivilised manner.

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

"Arre aaj humare sath office nahin chal rahe" Junaid frowned seeing Kabir walking towards another car

"Soch raha hun...Aazeen ki Ammi ko thoda dekh aaun......"

"Yeah right" Junaid shook his head at the pathetic excuse and walked away

"Assalam walaikum Aunty" Kabir greeted Aazeen's mother who was having tea in the hall

"Arre Kabir beta aap....Walaikum Assalam ..." Tabassum smiled standing up

"Ah Aazeen nahi dikh rahi " his eyeballs were moving in all directions. ..

Just then Aazeen came running followed by a boy

"Careful " Kabir chided seeing her almost crashing with the centre table

"Kabir......" Aazeen smiled wide "You didn't tell me you r coming"

"Wo..I heard about Aunty so..." Kabir stuttered but then smiled at Tabassum

The whole time Kabir's eyes were glued to Aazeen and this didn't go unnoticed by the boy sitting opposite to him who was thinking "Mami ko dekne aye hain ya apni biwi ko"

After having lunch with the family, Kabir stood up
"Acha Aunty....hum chalte hain"

"Hum...nahi sirf tum...I will be coming after a few days" The statement from Aazeen shocked Kabir.

"Aazeen...I understand but " he didn't know what to say.....so just shut his mouth...."Selfish jerk...she is there for her mother" his mind reprimanded him.

-----------

"Kabir kya huwa hai beta....na kuch theek se kha rahe ho...na baat kar rahe ho" Anabia came to Kabir's room when she got a complaint from Shamir about how bad a behaviour he was being subjected to these days.

"Kuch nahi Mama...bas thoda kaam ka stress hai"

"Kaam ka stress toh pehle bhi hota tha...koi nayi baat toh nahin hai" Anabia settled on the bed pulling him in his lap....

"Kya huwa hai" she asked kissing his forehead while caressing his hair

"Pata nahi Mama...bahut ajeeb lag raha hai" Kabir couldn't lie more

"Ajeeb....?"

"Bahut ajeeb sa akelapan lag raha hai.......Shamir ko bhi bulaya tha isi wajah se kuch din pehle.. lekin...."

"Lekin kuch rahat mili..nai?" Anabia started giving a much needed head massage to his son

"Nahi...ulta mai aur irritate ho gaya"

"Ye Biwi missing syndrome hai beta.." Anabia chuckled "Pata hai jab Faiz kabhi business trip par jate hain..mai so hi nahin paati"

"Aap Abbu se itna pyaar jo karti hain" Kabir teased with a light smile

"Keh toh aise raha hai jaise khud ki biwi se mohabbat hi nahin hai...beta ishq ka pura khumaar chehre par dikh raha hai" Anabia hit his head lightly and shifted his head to a pillow.

"Ab chalo so aaraam se.......Aazeen aa jayegi..kahin bhaagi nahin ja rahi" Anabia got up and exited the room after switching off the lights.

"Kya mai sach me....." Kabir immediately got out of the bed and switching on the lights again stood infront of the mirror.

Was that image him....the man with a grown beard with dark circles. The truth was being visually presented to him.

More coming days without Aazeen made the restless Kabir Faizan Ali finally come to the conclusion that his mother was right in every sense of the word and he had indeed fallen irrevocably in love with his gunda wife.

There was no proof needed ...he could feel it...

It couldn't be defined in words...it was surreal..it was beautiful!!!!!!

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

"Mai aapki tie baandh dun?" Raniya asked pushing her hair strand behind her ear

Azeem who was trying to tie his tie looking in the mirror raised his brows and turned with a serious expression on his face, which made Raniya a little nervous...."Aah...mai sirf help.."

"Why are you giving an explanation.....just do it"

Raniya lifted his head in surprise and saw a naughty smile covering her husband's face.

She pouted and took one end of the tie "Aap hamesha aisa kyun dikhate hain ki aap bahut Sadu hain"

"What.....come again" Azeem narrowed his eyes

"Nahi..mera matlab..." Raniya thought of replacing the offending word but wasn't able to do so

"Matlab" Azeem raised his brows

"Matlab Sadu hi tha" she spoke and closed her eyes fearing a good earful, but instead of ears, her lips felt something which made her eyes open at once

Azeem chuckled looking at his wife who was resembling a cherry right now......."Tie nahin bandhogi?"

Nodding in "No", Raniya ran out of tge room making Azeem laugh out loud..."My baby wife".
