A week later..

Meerab was busy checking the things on her suitcase because they were leaving for airport after some hour. He entered in their room holding their ticket and visa.

"Yeh sambhal ke rakh lena", he said.

She just nodded.

"Main chacha saab ko kaam ke baare mein bol kar aata hun", he uttered.

"Har baat mujhe bolne ki zarurat nhi hai. Jaa rahe ho jao", she uttered.

"Main toh bolunga", he replied.

"Tumse baat karna hi bekar hai."

He chuckled at her reaction.

"Haas kyun rahe ho?"

"Har baat tumhein nhi bata sakta", he said sarcastically and left the room. She threw a pillow at the door.

"Dufffer", she huffed sitting on the couch.

At the very moment she heard a knock on the door.

"Aa jayein"

Marium and haya entered in the room. Marium was looking extremely happy and excited where haya was just staring at with an angry face. Meerab didn't give a heed to her and gesture them to sit.

"Baitho na tum log"

Marium jumped on the bed happily and asked ,"bhabi bhai kahan gaye hain?"

"Anwar chacha se kuch baat karne gaya woh kaam ke silsile mein", she replied packing some stuffs.

"Mujhe nhi rehna hai. Main jaa rahi hun", haya stated with a frown.

"Maine aane ke liye bhi nhi bola tha", marium said irritatedly.

Meerab looked at haya's retiring figure.

"Yeh sayad mujhe kuch zyada pasand nhi karti", she huffed.

"Same here", marium stated And they both chuckled.

"Saba ko call karna toh main bhul hi gayi", she facepalmed herself.

"Jaiye call kar lijiye aap maij yaheen hun phir baat karenge", marium said.

Meerab took her phone and dials saba's number but it was switched off.

"Switched off hai. Chhoro, chai piyogi?", she asked.

"Aap banayengi toh kyun nhi", marium chirped happily.

"Abhi laati hun phir, tum yahin raho", saying this she merged out of the room.

Marium look at her departure and uttered, "chal beta marium apna kaam nipta le. Kya pata kab wapas aa jaye bhabi yaa phir bhai."

Murtasim was heading towards the study room when he noticed her talking to his mother. Damn her smile was so beautiful. His heart flutter as he looked at her smiling face. He felt something strange while looking at her. It's not the first time He's seeing her smiling but today He's feeling a kind of sweet pain in his chest. He was ogling his wife with a warm smile when he noticed her sudden gaze. Their eyes meets with eachothers, his heart did a summer sault in his chest. His eyes automatically fixed on the groud.

No one will belive this but he's blushing. Blushing Looking at her. He was clueless with this sudden pull towards her. He was clueless about his feelings about his desires.

"Murtasim", he heard hus mothers voice.

"Ji.. Jii maa saab?", he asked.

"Kab se khade ho wahan. Kya  baat hai?"

"Kuch bhi nhi to. Kyun?"

"Kuch bhi nhi. Thik hai beta samajhti hun main", maa begum teased.

Murtasim looked at his mother while thinking about the meaning of her teasing. Did she saw him ogling her? Or his blushing face?
Meerab headed towards tge kitchen and Murtasim somehow escape from his mothers teasing session.

He entered In his room and found marium there.

"Tum yahan Mere room mein  kya kar rhi ho?", he asked.

"Mere hisab se yeh meerab bhabi ka bhi room hai. Toh main apni bhabi ke room mein aayi hun", marium replied.

"Kainchi ki tarah zaban chalti hai", he huffed.

"Thanks for the tareef bhai", marium said bowing her head proudly.

"Dramebaaz"

Meerab entered in the with the tray.

"Yeh lo marium chai", meerab uttered and noticed Murtasim there." Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?"

"Dikhai nhi deta panchayat chala raha hun", he said sarcastically.

"Arre... Maine toh inhein  notice hi nhi kiya. Inn logon ke liye bhi chai le aaun", meerab replied matching his tone.

"Tumse baat karna hi bekar hai"

"Toh mat karo".

He got irritated by all this and left the room slamming the door loudly.

"Aap dono bhi na, abhi tak nhi badle", marium laughed.

"Sab hi toh badal gaya hai", she muttered.

"Kya?"

"Kuch nhi to", meerab smiled.

They both are sipping tea and talking about their childhood.

"Apko yaad hai kaise bhai ne ek bar gaadi thok di thi?", marium asked if she remembers the incident or not.

"Ofcourse, marte marte bachi thi main. He was just 17 agar Baba sahi waqt mein nhi aate toh police uncle sunte hi nhi humari baat", meerab uttered.

"Uske baad kitni daant padi thi bhai ko aur ro aap rahi thi", marium added.

"Bichare ko kitni daant padi thi"

He was listening to all this from behind the door.

"Usse aaj bhi yaad hai woh incident", he thought.

*****
It was the time when they were leaving for the airport. Saba and rohail will be there in a hour and here they were still in the khan mansion.

"Kitna time lagta hai tumhein apne baal set karne mein?", meerab huffed.

"Bas 5 minute", he uttered.

"Khud ko kya Mr. Universe samajh rahe ho? Airhostess bhaw nhi dengi yeh shakal dekh kar", she said with an annoying face.

"Tumhein bohot pata hai. Are you jealous?", he asked teasingly.

"Jale meri jutti", she said flipping her hairs. 

He smirked rolling ends of his moustaches.

"Now its perfect. Aab Chalo", he said finally turning towards her.

"Tum ho ke jaa rahe ho main hoti toh aur 2 ghante khud ki tareef karti"

"Taana marna band karo pehle toh"

"Main toh suggestion de rahi hun, tumhein agar taana lag raha hai toh meri kya galti", she shrugged while stepping towards the door.

He hold onto her wrist and pulled her. Her breath hitched as she noticed his dark gaze in her face. He smirked in victory.

"Baatein mat ghumao tum. Tum taana hi de rahi thi", he said in a soft tone which make her feel a shivering sensation.

She closed her eyes tightly to ignore him. She felt his breath in her face.

"Bolo?"

"N...nahi toh", she uttered and pushed him and ran away with her red face. He smiled and followed her.

"Aate hain maa begum/ maa saab", meerab and Murtasim said together.

"Khuda ki khair mein jao bacchon.  Muratsim dhyan rakhna meerab ka", maa begum said.

"Jii", he nodded.

"Bhai- Bhabi have a great journey", marium uttered happily.

They smiled in return.

Haya came there taking long steps. A creepy smile was plastered in her face. She scanned murtasim from head to toe.

"Apna khayal rakhna Murtasim", she paused by meerab's glare." Tum bhi apna khayal rakhna meerab", she uttered with a forced smile.

"Haan zaroor", meerab said. She turned towards Murtasim and uttered, "aab hum chalein?"

"Haan chalo", he replied.
