Meerab sat on the bed besides Murtasim as he lay on the bed. The lines on his forehead deepened. Meerab,s heart ached and she pressed his head gently to ease the headache.

Meerab stood up and rushed out towards the kitchen.

In half an hour she was back with his favorite food.

Murtasim thoda sa kha lo. Phir dawai khani hai.

Meerab said genuinely worried for him. Her heart ached with worry.

Nahin Meerab mere muh ka taste kharab hai.

Murtasim said making a face. The bitter taste in his mouth made him want to puke.

Janti hoon Murtasim per khana bhi toh zaroori hai na.

Meerab said. She didn't knew why she was acting so soft with him. She wanted to hate him but couldn't.

Tum khilaogi mujhe?

Murtasim asked. Meerab saw something in his eyes which made her nod her head in positive.

Haan.

Meerab nodded in positive and took a fork. She gently made him eat the first bite of the meshroom omelette.

Thanks for this.

Murtasim said. His heart fluttered in his chest as he felt a comforting warmth spread though his entire being.

For what?

Meerab asked, her voice holding a gentle tease.

Mera khayal rakhne ke liye.

Murtasim said, his voice laced with warmth. Meerab felt a tug at her heart hearing him.

She didn't knew why but she felt a sense of abandonment wash over her. Meerab,s heart ached.

She looked at him holding his gaze for a moment before holding his rough hand with her soft one.

Her heart raced as she leaned forward and pressed her lips against his bearded cheek in a tentative, affectionate kiss.

Murtasim,s heart went into a wild dance as she held his hand and he watched her leaning forward. His mind went blank and the next thing he felt were her soft lips brushing against his cheek in a tentative and kind of affectionate kiss.

Biwi hoon tumhari. Tumhara khayal rakhna mera haq bhi hai aur farz bhi.

Meerab said, her voice a mix of tenderness and sincerity.

Murtasim,s eyes were wide, a mix of shock and suprise flickering across his features. He opened his mouth but then closed it. His heart raced as he tried to absorb what just happened.

Meerab giggled, her eyes sparkling with a mix of tenderness and mischief.

In a swift move, she was up on her feet and started running.

Murtasim came back to his senses and ran behind her.

Ruko tum.

Murtasim said, his voice holding a childlike warning.

As they ran, their laughter, a joyous melody, dancing in the air.

She twirled around before running once again. Murtasim reached out and finally gently held the curve of her waist.

Meerab,s breath hitched as he pulled her towards himself. She dashed into his chest. Red straining her cheeks as she felt her blood heat up.

Ab kahan jaogi?

Murtasim whispered into her ear. His hot breath curled into her ear sending shivers down her spine.

Meerab noticed Haya coming there. She felt a burning sensation in her heart and turned to Murtasim. Locking her eyes with his. She gathered some courage. She smiled, with a mix of tenderness and hesitation, Meerab circled her arms around his broad shoulders pulling him into a tender embrace.

Murtasim,s breath caught in his throat. A mix of shock and suprise flickering across his features. His mind raced to process the sudden action of Meerab. The warmth of her body was a source of comfort. His heart thudded in his chest as he felt goosebumps travel all over his body.

Murtasim,s hands, still weak, with a mix of hesitation and uncertainty found their way to Meerab,s waist, holding the curve of it gently. He wrapped his arm around her easing into her embrace.

Suddenly they parted hearing an ear prickling scream.

Murtasim rolled his eyes murmuring

Kya batameezi hai Haya.

Murtasim crossed his arms across his chest.
