Next Day

Asmara woke up due to Hashim's text when her mobile beeped.

She opened one eye rubbing the other slightly,grabbed her phone to who disturbed her at this time of her beauty sleep.

Hashim's msg:"wake up dear sweet sleeping panda...its namaz time...send me any smiley for confirmation."

Asmara smiled reading the text and sent him her newly captured selfie

But Hashim didn't see the message so she got up took ablution and offered her prayer....

Her father came inside the room when she has just finished her prayer...

Asmara:"asalamoalaikum baba!"

Ali:"walaikumusalam mera bcha...I came here to wake you up,but my princess is already!"

Asmara:"Hashim texted so I just woke up."

Her father smiled stroking her hair and headed to wake his other daughter up.

Asmara grabbed her phone to see If Hashim has texted back or not.

Hashim:"I asked for a smiley but this is my wifey."

Asmara frowned reading the message and said "there are many emojis in your phone see them...& don't disturb me."

Hashim chuckled,he was enjoying teasing her:"you are getting angry now?"

Asmara:"No Mr.Hashim."

Hashim:"let me tell you one thing Mrs.Hashim....you are still cute with your puffed cheeks and scrunched nose...my button nose!"

Asmara:"how did you know I was scrunching my nose?"

Hashim:"It's been more than a year,I know you."

Asmara:"thanks for anklets Hashim,you didn't tell me its the wedding gift...I told everyone that kangans were my wedding gift."

Hashim:"who told you that anklets are your wedding gift?"

Asmara:"Ayesha Api...Sana and Sara!"

Hashim:"How are aunty and uncle...you had good time with them??"

Asmara:All are fine Hashim...Hashim you are sleepy na?"

Hashim smiled and said:"no we can talk."

Asmara:"I also know you!"

Hashim laughed and texted her:"yes titli you know me,so let's sleep."

Asmara:"😁 I knew it you were sleepy...but when will you come here?"

Hashim:"you want me come?"

Asmara:"baba was asking."

Hashim:"ok I'll tell him then."

Asmara:"Hashimm!"

Hashim:"hahaha...I'll come with Mama baba,I don't know the exact time."

Asmara:"ok...sleep🙂"

Hashim:"hmm😴"

After talking to Hashim Asmara also slept.

Breakfast...

"So my princess is happy?"Ali asked from Asmara.

"Baba I am but I don't want to leave Mama and Saru!"Asmara sighed heavily.

"What if We take them there too?"Mr.Ali said.

"Baba!"Asmara gasped and Sara was also stunned.

"I miss my wife and my little one so I am planning to get them shifted there for a while..."

"That's so good baba!"Sara and Asmara said in unison.

"But we'll go after almost a month,as I have to apply for both of their Visa."Her Baba said.

"Ok baba...all of you would be there...I am so happy!"Asmara was overjoyed.

"I am so tired now...but the dinner was indeed so delicious,Shiza is the best cook."Mrs.Ahmed praised sitting on the couch in the living room.

All of them just returned from Mr.Ali's house bringing Asmara alongwith them.

Asmara smiled listening to her mother being praised.

"Umm...aunty?"Asmara spoke nervously.

Hashim raised his eyebrow asking her what happened?

"Yes beta speak up?"Mrs.Ahmed said.

"Aunty...umm I want to cook something tommorrow!"Asmara said closing her eyes.

And she heard Hashim laughing...her eyes welled up as she felt insulted but she controlled her tears from falling forcing a smile on her face.

"Hashimm."His mother growled.

"Its..o..okay aa aunty!"Asmara said controlling her sobs clutching her duppatta tightly.She was so emotional right now due to her rukhsati and now her husband is making fun of her and it pricked her heart.

"Mama...Oh my Allah,Asmara I just laughed at your expressions!"

Hashim said heading towards Asmara,sitting beside her on the couch and pulling her in a hug.

"Pagal larki(silly girl),we will cook

together!"Hashim added pinching her nose.

"Don't you dare to make my daughter cry!"Mrs.Ahmed said stroking Asmara's hair gently.

"I...am not crying aunty,I am okay!"Asmara said while smiling but her eyes were moist.

"Beta you should take rest now,go to your room...we'll have to wake up early and you are tired enough!"Mrs.Ahmed said.

Hashim nodded and held Asmara's hand holding it securely and went to their room.

"Go to the bed Asmara...you are tired,I just need a shower then I will join you."Asmara nodded and sat on the bed and Hashim went to have a bath.

Asmara changed into her nightwear and sat on the couch

she was continuously crying and cursing herself as Hashim got scolded because of her...she was so much tensed because of her own behaviour,she always act like this and pull Hashim into a trouble...she was indeed a mess!

Hashim came out of bathroom and saw Asmara curled up in the couch as I she were sleeping.

Hashim went closer to her and tapped her shoulder gently.She instantly moved back in a reflex and looked towards Hashim.

"Hashim...Hashim(chalen soty hain)let's sleep."Asmara said holding his hand.

Hashim smiled and nodded his head:"ok come...on which side you want to sleep?"

"Nothing specific...you lay down first please!"Asmara said with pleading eyes.

Hashim laid down on bed and asked her to join.She smiled with twinkling eyes and jumped on her side of bed...but she went closer to Hashim,straightened his curled up arm,resting her head on it and putting her hand on his chest.

"I want to sleep like this but I want to see you!"Asmara said moving her hand on his shirt.

Hashim smiled at her words and said:"I am all yours to see meri jan!"and kissed her forehead.

Asmara clutched his shirt and said

"Hashim why are you so nice...I am always like this,crying without any reason but you always console me and you even apologize without any mistake...why?"

Hashim:"Asmara Our Prophet(PBUH) used to say:

"Among the Muslims the most perfect, as regards his faith, is the one whose character is excellent, and the best among you are those who treat their wives well."

So meri jaan you are my wife,my zoja,its my duty to treat you well,to take care of you,to be good with you!"

Asmara smiled and lifting herself off the bed she leaned towards Hashim's forehead placing her lips there and moving her hand gently on his stubble.

"Can you please teach me how to be a good wife...I want to be your good wife."Asmara said and pecked Hashim's cheek.

Hashim held her waist from one hand and the other hand he placed on her cheek and said

"You are a good wife titli...I am happy to have you as my wife,but I'll teach you!"

Asmara's eyes shined with happiness and she spoke:"I love you."afterwards kissed his nose.

"I love you more!"Hashim said and turning themselves he came over her,Asmara was now lying on the bed holding Hashim's shirt,Hashim was now looking deep in her eyes,he leaned towards her closing the distance between their lips,he placed his lips on hers...their lips moulded together and it was the feeling of eternal bliss for both of them.
