Shahaan and Aafreen we're sitting the garden. A sheet was spread on the grass, both of them were sitting on it with books scattered around them.

"Aafi, A for?"
He asked looking at the one who was engrossed in her books.

"Aafreen."
She gave him a million-dollar smile.

"Umm... L for?"
A little mischievous smile played on his lips.

"Love."
She clearly understood where it was going.

"S for?"
He came closer to her. Their lips were inches apart.

"STUDY!"
She pushed him away.

Shahaan pouted and was about to get up when she held his wrist. Her arms snaked around his neck and a loving smile on her face.

"Shahaan."

She kissed his cheek, making him smile. Shahaan picked her up in his arms and left to their bedroom.

Rania, who was about to step out with their snacks in her hands, retraced her path seeing them romancing so openly. For God's sake she had a little daughter living in the house.

Shahaan reached their room and put her down on the bed. Not waiting for a second he pounced on her like a hungry beast.

His lips against hers, her breasts pressed against his hard chest, his hands roaming around her body and her hands clutching his hair.

His lips kissed their way to her neck.

"Shahaan..."

Aafreen moaned when he bit on her neck.

His one hand slipped into her Kameez with an intention to torture her bosom. While the other one rested in between her thighs, making her gasp. His fingers rubbed against her centre, making her bite her lips.

"Shahaan..."

He nuzzled her neck, while his hands making love to her bosom and her centre.

"Shahaan, please..." She moaned out.

And he understood what she wanted. He moved back and quickly discarded his clothes. He then pulled her clothes while peppering kisses here and there on her body.

He smirked at the way she looked at him so hungrily.

"So eager to bear my child." He commented, making her frown.

Shahaan hovered over her, kissing away her cute frown. His hand slid into her hair locks, and he thrust into her. She gasped at sudden penetration.

And it continued till the evening and was repeated at night as well.

☆☆☆

Shahaan decided to teach Aafreen himself. Because he was well aware of the fact that her silly questions will easily make someone else pull his or her hair in frustration. Only he had the patience to satisfy her curiosity.

So he began from the very beginning. In the first six months Aafreen easily grasped the basics of languages and mathematics, it was quite easy for her because she had learned those topics in her childhood. She only needed to go through it once again, as a revision.

Later Shahaan opted to teach her basics of different auxiliary subjects. He wanted to know which subject or field could grab her attention. So that he can help her study what she enjoys learning.

☆☆☆

Aafreen and Shahaan were relaxing in the garden. Shahaan lying on the soft grass while Aafreen was resting on his chest.

"Aafi, do you like science?"

"Not much. I hate psychics. Chemistry is good but not interesting. However, I like biology. It has various interesting concepts."

"What about social science?"

"I like history. Civics and geography are fine. But economics is very boring."

"And languages?"

"Yeah, it's good. I like reading short stories, plays, and novels."

"And mathematics?"

"I hate mathematics. I don't find it interesting."

"Okay, so except for these auxiliary subjects, which field or anything related, you like the most?"

"Psychology."

"Why?"

"Because it's so interesting. How our brain works, interesting psychological disorders, unique mental cases. Especially split personality disorder. Everything about psychology is so amazing."

Like this Shahaan understood what he has to do next.

Psychology.

Aafreen was sitting on the balcony of their bedroom and sipping her coffee. It was the time of dawn. The morning breeze was softly kissing her skin, making her senses calmer. It was a serene moment. Somewhere hiding in the canopy a cuckoo was singing in it's melodious voice. At a distance where agricultural fields joined with woods, a peacock was shouting loud and loud, making her smile.

"Good morning, psychiatrist Aafreen Qureshi." She heard his sleepy voice.

He kissed her cheek and sat beside her on the couch. Inhaling her scent, his sleepiness vanished. He gently grazed his nose on her neck, making her giggle at the ticklish sensation.

"Mr. Shahaan Qureshi, how many times I have to correct you that it's a psychologist, not a psychiatrist."

"Aafi, I am a businessman. For me, psychiatrist and psychologist both are same."

She put her arms around his shoulders making him come closer to her.

"Thank you, Shanu." She rested her head on his shoulder.

"Thanks for what?"

"For everything. If it weren't you then I would have never got a chance to live in these beautiful moments."

"Aafi, let go of past. Live in the present. We are having a new addition to our family very soon."

Aafreen was three months pregnant. They were expecting their first child.

"Hmm, I wish I could. But some scars leave their marks forever."

"Then try to love them, because they are a part of you."

She turned to him, looking straight into his eyes. For her, his eyes were like a mirror. A mirror, in which she always found herself as the most beautiful person on this earth, which always made her love herself more and more, which made her fall harder for him.

Sometimes it feels like a dream which will end someday. There will be a day when it will come to an end. But it's better to enjoy the present moment rather than worrying about something which is yet to come.

Putting her head on his shoulder, she asked, "Have you decided the name for our child?"

☆☆☆

Loud cries echoed across the white halls of the hospital. Shahaan visibly relaxed and the shine in his eyes expanded tenfold. Tears brimmed from his eyes, while his lips curved into a smile of tranquillity.

The doctor came out with his newborn in her hands. Wrapped in a white towel the kid was an exact copy of it's mother.

Shahaan didn't know it's gender yet. But his instincts or I say the father inside him knew it's a girl.

He picked it up in his arms.
"It's a girl, right?" He asked the doctor.

"Yes, Mr. Qureshi, congratulations."

☆☆☆

Shahaan entered the ward with his princess peacefully sleeping in his arms. Aafreen was resting with her eyes closed. She opened her tired eyes to find her husband looking at her lovingly with their daughter in his protective arms.

He came nearer and placed a kiss on her forehead. She held her daughter. Oh, she looks exactly like her.

"Shaheen. Shahaan and Aafreen's princess Shaheen." He said with pure love.

"Thanks for coming into our life, Shaheen." She said with motherly love and kissed Shaheen's forehead.

Shahaan held both his girls in his arms, serenity overcoming his thumping heart.

"Aafi, I love you."

"But I have no words to describe my love for you, Shanu. My love is indescribable."

THE END
