The Khan Murtasim khan was ogling his own officially and legally wedded wife like it's his favourite dish.

There was no doubt that she was looking extremely georges in her golden garara with open hair and diamond jewellery. Her face was glowing more than those diamonds.

His heart was dancing in his chest Looking at her. She lifted her face and looked at her husband who was looking at him like a maniac.

"Apko taiyar nhi hona?", she asked him raising her brows. He came out of the trance and smiled at her lightly.

"Nhi"

"Rahiye yaheen aap main chalti hun", she said while leaving. He held her wrist while pulling her towards him. She collided with his chest with this sudden pull and lost her balance totally. He held her by her waist to make her steady.

"You're Looking beautiful mrs. Khan", he complimented her and she blushed in crimson." Now you're looking more beautiful while blushing", he uttered sliding her hair locks behind her ears.

She lowed her gaze when he held her both hands in his sliding 'Motiyon wale Gajray' in her hands.

"Apko yaad tha?", she asked.

"Bhul sakta hun main? Akhir meri biwi ki farmaish hai puri karni toh padegi", he replied.

"Khubsurat hain gajray bohot"

"Tumse kam", he said and placed a soft kiss in her forehead.

"Apko late nhi hoga? Aap abhi tak taiyar nhi huye?"

He looked at her lovingly while caressing her cheeks lightly with his thumb." Bas ho jaunga taiyar",he replied.

She pushed him a little and freed herself from his grip.

"Aap bhul rahe hain ke marium ki shaadi hai, taiyar ho kar niche aa jaiye main jaa rahi hun", she said while leaving the room.

He looked at her departure helplessly. His wife was something else.

******
Happy faces are all around. Laughers and giggles are echoing in khan haveli. This marriage brought brightness and happiness to the house.

He changed into a off white kurta which have some golden work on it. Setting his hairs perfectly, he applied some perfume and twisted his moustaches. He was looking elegant yet hot. He was perfect example of greek god. He was coming while wearing

Murtasim came downstairs and saw his sister dressed in a red lehenga, Looking like a doll sitting with her future husband in the stage. A tear filled his eyes corner, now his sister was getting married to a very brave man. He's happy for her but also feeling sad because, after today he will not be able to see her.

Their banters, their laughters, how she used to irritate him, how always requests him to take her to the mall, how always she order him to bring things for her. Specially how he always scolded her. Now when he remember all this a tear rolled down from his eyes.

He wiped it as soon as he can. He feels someones touch on his shoulder, meerab was standing beside her.

"Acha cover kiya hai", she uttered.

"Kya? Main nhi ro raha"

She scrutinized something. "maine toh nhi bola yeh", she replied politely. She gently rubbed his chest with her tiny palms.

"Haan thoda sa bura lag raha hai ke main aab apni behen ko roz tang nhi kar paunga, magar khush bhi hun ke isse naurez jaisa ladka mila hai", he said making an eye lock with him.

"Toh thoda sa muskura dijiye, ruksati ke waqt ro lijiyega ", meerab exclaimed. He nodded with a chuckle.

Maa begum was happily adoring her Beta-Bahu who are looking so much cute together ( as always). She whispered a thanking prayer to almighty.

******

The word 'Ruksati' is as emotional as its sounds. Murtasim hugged her sister while battling with his own self to control his tears. He broke the hug and gave his sister's hand on Naurez's hand and uttered,"humare ghar ki raunak aapko saunp rahe hain, iski muskan ko kabhi khone mat dena".

"Waada karta hun muratsim bhai, isse humesha khush rakhunga", naurez said hugging him.

Meerab also hugged marium." Apna khayal rakhna", she almost whispered in Marium's ear while sobbing.

Maa begum wipped off her tears and placed her both hands on newly weds.
Showering them with blessings.

"Allah tum dono ko khushiyon se nawaze", she exclaimed happily.

Anwar too blessed them. And then they left in the car. Marium looks out the window of the car and says goodbye to everyone.

Murtasim side hugged his mother to console her. Meerab gently wiped her tears while caressing her mother in laws head gently.

"Maa aap royein nhi, marium toh milne aati rahegi", meerab said.

"Haan beta, yeh toh khusi ke aansoo hain. Meri ek beti chali gayi toh kya hua, bahu bhi beti se kam thodi hoti hain", maa begum said cupping her right cheeks.

The word 'Saas agar bahu ko beti maan le, toh dunia ke adhe masle haal ho jate hain' was real. Maa begum was upset with Murtasim when he informed her that he married her. She gets angry at both of them. But when she get to know about the truth she felt a bad for meerab.

She still remember when she had seen her. A very innocent girl, age of 21 standing in front of her clutching onto her
Son's kurta, eyes full of fear. She had questioned her khandan and saat but she didn't uttered a single word. It was murtasim who informed her that she's waqas Ahmad's daughter.

With time they became more than Saas-bahu. Her became her 'Baccha and beta' and she became her 'maa' from 'maa begum'.

As they entered in the house muratsim got a call from panchayat.

"Khan ek musibat aa gayi hai", he can feel a wave of tension in the voice. His very trusted man Aslam was talking in the phone.

"Kya hua hai aslam?", he asked in a firm voice.

"Khan malick zubair jail se riha ho gaya hai, woh aaj sare kisan'on ko dhamki de kar gaya hai ke agar unhone apni zameen nhi di toh woh unki fasal barbad kar dega"

"Magar uske riha hone ki.koi gunjaish hi nhi banti"

"Kisi ne uski bail karwai hai, Aab court mein faisla hoga sab"

"Main jald hi aata hun gaon"

"Aapki behen ki shaadi hai khan. Aap apne bhai hone ki zimmedari nbhaein abhi hum yahan sambhal lenge", aslam said.

"Tumhara shukriya aslam. Main bakhtu aur baki kuch naye gaurds ko bhi bhijwata hun", muratsim said and cut the call.

The environment turned into a suffocating situation for him. He didn't informed about mallick zubair except his uncle Anwar khan. Who was looking tensed after hearing the news.

He suggested that 'it's better to jot informed ladies about it. They will be panicked.

"Chacha saab humein aise chup nhi beithna chahiye, zubair kuch bhi kar sakta hai", muratsim exclaimed.

"Haan magar hum aise hi Jaldbazi mein koi kadam nhi utha sakte hain beta. Humein intezar karna hoga sahi waqt ka", anwar said.

"Koi toh hai jisne zubair ki madad ki hai. Humein uske bare mein pata lagana hoga"

"Main iss bare mein janch karta hun. Abhi filhal kisi ko mat batao ke zubair jail se bahir hai. Bekar mein shaadi ka ghar hai sab panick ho jayenge", anwar exclaimed.

"Aap sahi keh rahe hain"

"Bohot raat ho gayi hai, tum bhi jaa kar so jao", anwar said while leaving.

*****

Murtasim entered in his room, still in his sherwani. He saw meerab coming out of the wash room after changing into a baby pink salwar suit. He sat on the couch looking so tired.

"Kya hua hai murtasim?", she asked him softly.

"Kuch bhi toh nhi", he replied not looking at her.

"Jhuth toh na boliye aap mujhse, aap pareshan lag rahe hain", she said coming towards her.

"Bas gaon mein kuch masla ho gaya hai wahi wajah hai aur kuch nhi", he admitted Looking at her for a moment.

"Thik hai, aap change kar lijiye jaa kar", she said. He nodded and left toh change his cloths.

He splash some water in his face to calm his mind. His brain was running a little too fast. He was thinking too much. 'What if malick zubair hurted his family members?' He thought.

After changing into a comfortable pair of white salwar kameez he came oyt of the washroom. His wife was sitting in the couch. He noticed two coffe cups in the table.

"You'll feel better", she exclaimed giving him a cup of coffee when he settleed himself beside him.

"Thank you begum", he said holding the cup. She gave him a warm smile which washed off his all tension. He encircled his one arm around her shoulder and she put her head near his chest.

"I love you", he uttered before kissing her forehead." Me too", she replied.

"This is so rude begum", he said like a betrayed kid. She giggled at his reaction.

She put her cup on the table and cupped his face with her both hands." Look at me, I've always loved you, I love you as the moon love the sun", she exclaimed looking straight into his eyes." You're sun in my life, the only source of my life, my happiness, you're the centre of my univer, my everything",she continued.

He pulled her in his arms caressing her hairs gently." So Mrs. Khan you're saying i'm your sun, what's the reason behind calling me sun?", he asked.

She lifted her head to looked at him,"Because...."

"Hmmm?"

"Because of your anger. Mr. Angry old mad", she exclaimed before giggling.

"Oh hello, i'm only 28 years old", he replied proudly.

"Issi liye toh kaha tha maine", she murmured in her breath.

"Kya bol rahi ho?"

"Kuch bhi toh nhi, Mr. Angry old man", she said.

"Accha, wait a moment", he said and placed his lips on her. He kissed her passionately. Her eyes widened with his sudden move.

"Hisaab barabar", he said with a proud grin. Her face turn red with blush.

To be continue....

Feedbacks>>>>>

Pardon me for what i've written here.
I ain't happy with this part, I spoiled all of the above together. Didn't write any sad part because i'm noob at portraying emotional scenes. Sorry once again. All kind of flying chappal's and gaali's are acceptable <3

Lastly, Is it really the calmness before a life changing storm?
