I woke up for fajr and went to wake him up. It's high time
now and he is not listening to me..today he has to wake. I
turned the knob of his door and it opened. He was fast
asleep.
"Assalamualaikum..wake up it's time for fajr." I said. No
response.
"Get up..otherwise fajr time will be over"
Still no response. I groaned..early in the morning??
"Arhaan..wake up" I was shaking him now. Instead of
waking up he just turned to the other side.
"This is the last time..I'm waking you up..now if you don't
get up I'll pour water on you" I threatened him. Still no
response.
"Fine I'll count till three"
"One" I took the jug in my hand which was full of water.
"Two" I went near him and placed my hand on top of him.
So If I poured water it would fall on his face.
"And three" I was about to pour the water when he
suddenly caught my hand and pulled me down making
the water fall on both of us. I was on top of him. My hijab
was full wet and his hair was dripping from water. Some
of the droplets were resting peacefully on his face.
We both were staring at each other. His eyes had turned a
shade darker. His sharp nose was much more prominent
than before. His sharp jaws and clean shave was looking
so clear and beautiful. How can someone be so
handsome when he has just gotten up from his sleep???
He pulled me more closer towards to him. His grip on my
shoulder and on my waist was now much more tighter
than before and with a little bit of more force I was now
much more close to his face or should I say his lips. He
looked at my lips and then looked at me. My heart was
hammering in my chest. I was afraid that he might hear it.
To say I was blushing would be an understatement..I was
so red!!! He leaned a bit and was now inch away from my
face..he rested his forehead on mine and cupped my
cheeks with both of his hand. My heart was now
frantically jumping away.
He leaned a little more and his lips brushed with mine...I
was about to have my first kiss when we were interrupted
by his mobile ring. We both jerked away from each other.
Now my heart was practically racing from aftereffects of
such a huge thing. He quickly regained his posture ran a
hand over his hair, cleared his throat and picked up the
call.
While he was talking over the phone I was calming my
nerves down. Oh my God! He almost kissed me...almost
kissed me...me?? As in me??? Ya Allah...I literally don't
know at that time what I was feeling...but I only knew one
thing that this will be the very first intimate moment of our
wedded life.
I was just not able to digest that he took the very first
initiative of kissing me?? Did he wanted to kiss me or it
was just the moment?? Oh God..!! I shouldn't have look
like a fool at that time..what would now he would think of
me?? Mahira let him think what he wants he is now your
husband..you have the every right to come close to
him..you should not feel guilty about it..you should be
happy that he took the first initiative..things are changing
my love..open your eyes my conscience was now wide
awake and even gave me a good lecture!!
I was sitting on his bed near him..as I looked towards him
he was now sitting with his back relaxed on the head
board and his hands crossed over the chest his eyes were
looking at me with such heat that I fear that I'll melt away.
He quickly came near me and cupped my cheeks "What
are you doing to me Mahira?? If you'll continue doing like
this I might not be able to control myself..and I just dont
want to force you, something which you aren't ready for"
he was now caressing my cheek but his grip was very
tight on my back.
I quickly pulled myself up and turned to leave but my
dupatta got pulled back. Now my heart was galloping. I
was so damn blushing. I didn't even have the courage to
pull my dupatta from his grip. I slowly turned and looked
back...he was now smirking a full good smirk. He quickly
surrendered his hand upwards and motioned me to look
towards his left.
This made me laugh and he also started laughing. My
dupatta was stuck at the corner of the side table. I was
so feeling ashamed of myself that I thought he might
have caught it. I slightly smack my forehead for my
stupidity. He was still laughing. This made me laugh
more.
I went near the table and removed the dupatta. I could
feel him staring me. I looked at him and yes he was
openly staring at me..I nodded my head in order to ask
him what..he just smiled..that made me smile. I quickly
turned and was about to exit his room "today I'm not
going to office so I guess your dupatta will be getting
caught now and then" he said with a smirk. I was feeling
so shy at that moment that I just ran back to my room.
I quickly locked the door and was panting badly.
God...first I fell on top of him no he made me fall on top
of him then we almost kissed then he had started
noticing me and last my dupatta. Too much to handle on
an early morning.
I quickly saw the time and relaxed that I've still time to
pray fajr. I didn't have the guts to go in front of him again
and ask about prayer. I'm so damn nervous and on top of
that he'll be staying at home today. A long long day
ahead. After completing namaz and reading Quran I went
back to sleep again. Since he was not going to office now
so why get up early?
I was woke up by the Niagra Falls. Wait? Niagra Falls???
When did they shift Niagra Falls in New York?? And how
the hell they fell on me?? I twitched my eyebrows in
confusion. I heard someone's giggle. I opened one of my
eye and I was full wet. I quickly jolted up that Niagra Fall
was the full jug filled with water. I glared at Arhaan. He
was laughing.
"You thought you were *laughs laughs laughs* watching
Niagra Falls..and getting wet???" He was laughing. "Do
you even know that how deep Niagra Falls are??? It would
be a miracle that if you survive the pressure of the waters
falling from such an extreme heights!!" Ha ha ha ha ha
ha....you are really funny.
I was now furrowing my eyebrows "did I said that loud???"
"Yes my dear you said that loud" he said.
Heat crept upto my neck and suddenly I felt warm. I could
feel my cheeks turning a shade of red...he had just now
said DEAR!! For the first time he had said something other
than my name or MAID. Ya Allah...keep on showering your
blessings on us and look our marriage with mercy.
I was now looking at my bed...I guess he was also
shocked by his sudden statement. I heard fading sounds
of footsteps and I knew he was going. "I'm
hungry...prepare the breakfast quick" he said and went
away. Ya Allah what is it today?? First early in the morning
and now Dear????
I quickly got freshen up. Today I wore a skin colour
kameez with pastel pink embroidery matched with pastel
pink pants and multicolored stole. I blow dried my hair
and wore my pastel pink color hijab. Today it's a pink day
for me. I put some kohl and a lip balm. Wore my bangles
and rings. I was ready.
I went to the kitchen only to see him sitting on the dining
table. Is he so hungry??? I quickly prepared pancackes
with his coffee. I also made my coffee and took to the
dining table. We ate in silence. I guess he was still
thinking about what he had said earlier.
After eating he went up and I started cleaning the house
and preparing the lunch. After three hours I finally
finished. Lunch was already prepared. After zuhr prayer I'll
serve the lunch. As I was going up when I saw him
swimming. It was a glass house so I could see easily. It
was good to see him so carefree and relaxed.
I opened the sliding doors and went towards the pool.
The door automatically closed. I sat on one of the chairs
and was now looking/staring at him. He was not bare
chested he was wearing a vest but his muscles was
popping out from everywhere. He was swimming very
gracefully Masha Allah. "Can you please turn around?" He
said. I raised my eyebrows and asked "why?"
"Umm..actually I'm wearing shorts so I'm a bit
uncomfortable so untill I wear bathrobe can you please
turn around??" He said.
I smiled and nodded and turned around. I was waiting for
him to change but suddenly I was lifted upwards. What
happen to the law of gravity which pulls back down to the
earth when lifted up?? When I looked up I saw Arhaan
carrying me and running towards the pool. I was
frightened and my eyes were big as saucers.
"Arhaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnn Noooooooooooo" splash
splash splash I was now under the water. He was laughing
so hard and I was clutching him so tightly that as my life
is dependent on that grip. Suddenly I moved away after
becoming conscious of the closeness. He for sure didn't
able to understand this because he was still laughing. I
took handful of water and threw at his face. He became
quiet and was staring at me then he threw at me. And like
that we started playing and racing.
After an hour or so we came out of the water teasing and
giggling. Thank you Allah for this day. I'm really happy for
today. Today we were actually spending the day like
normal people instead of shouting or ignoring each other
like we used to. Thank you Allah for making progress in
our marriage like small baby steps. I'm happy that he has
actually started talking to me. Thank you sooo much.
We got freshen up and we ate lunch randomly talking. We
were about to finish our lunch when he got a call he
nodded at me and went away talking. I cleared the table
and quickly washed the dishes. I was cleaning the kitchen
when I saw him coming downstairs all ready. He was
wearing denim color jeans and denim shirt. He was
looking damn hot.
"You going somewhere???" I asked.
"Yes"
"Work??"
"Pleasure"
I raised my eyebrows...he smirked.
"Just kidding going to meet my Laiba"
As he said I felt tons of weight has been thrown on my
heart. My eyes welled up by tears. I looked down..."please
don't go" my voice cracked a bit. But I regained my
posture back and looked at him. He was staring me.
Without saying anything he just left.
Great...just greattt...way to spoil day!!!
