"Titli you are not going today!"

Hashim said giving her the medicine.

"Hashim...its just a little fever,I am perfectly alright."Asmara argued.

"See yourself in the mirror,your eyes are badly swollen and red."

"Hashim...don't be so stubborn."

Asmara pouted.

"You need rest Asmara,end of discussion."Hashim replied.

"Will you stay with me then?"

Asmara asked raising her eyebrow.

"I would definitly have stayed with you but...I have an important meeting so I have to go."

"If your meeting is more important for you than me...so my university is more important to me than you!"Asmara blabbered.

Hashim pulled her towards himself holding her wrist...bending a little to her height:"your university is more important than me...seriously titli?"Hashim said making a sad face as if he is so much hurt with her words.

"I didn't mean that...!"Asmara spoke being tensed holding his arm.

"Then what were you trying to say...?"Hashim asked playing with her hair.

"I...I am fed up of all this,think whatever you want to think."Asmara said removing his hand away from her hair and she sat on the couch.

Hashim furrowed his brows,she was acting weird.

"Asmara?"he called her name.

"What Asmara...I am not talking to you."Asmara was hurt,she was angry.

"Do you have trust issues Hashim?"

"What are you talking...I am not understanding a bit?"Hashim was startled at her behaviour.

"How many times should I have to tell you that you are my everything...how many times should I have to tell you that,I live for you,how many times should I have to tell you that you are the most precious thing in my life,heck,you are my life...how many times should I have to remind you that I have fallen deeply,madly and irrecoverably in love with you...how many times Hashim?"Asmara pour her emotions out.

"Water?"Hashim sat near her bringing a glass of water near her mouth.

"I don't want anything!"Asmara spoke up in heavy breaths.

"Sorry titli...but I loved hearing your speech!"Hashim said pulling her in his lap.

"Yeah you only love my speech not me."Asmara pouted lowering her head down.

"You are right...I love my wife!"

Hashim chuckled.

Asmara's eyes wide open,she looked shocked:"You are married Hashim?"she said being concerned.

"Yes!"Hashim was suppressing his laughter.

"Why haven't you told me before?"

Asmara asked,she was so tensed.

"I have told you!"

"But...how can you love her?"

"She is my wife so its my duty to love her."

"Who is she,husband chorr?"Asmara was flaring with anger.

"Don't speak anything bad about my wife...she is my everything,my reason to live...I have fallen deeply,madly and irrecoverably in love with her."Hashim said playing with her hair strand.

"If you love her so much then create your on lines...you are speaking my lines...and if you love her so much what I am doing sitting in your lap."Asmara said trying to move away.

"You want to listen her name?"

Hashim asked pulling her into his lap again.

"I am least interested in that wife of yours!"Asmara tried getting up

And Hashim laughed hard,throwing his head on Asmara's shoulder who was sitting in his lap.

"Pagal larki,mai tumhari baat hi kr rha hun(I am talking about you,silly girl)"Hashim said holding her face in his palms.

"Ohh...so you mean you are married to me!"Asmara heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Yes Ms.dumbo!"Hashim pinched her nose still laughing.

"Ap itnay serious thay tou mujhe lga k...(you were so serious so I thought that...)"Asmara replied holding his hand,pouting...Hashim pecked her mouth...Asmara smiled shyly but soon composed herself.

"Hashim but I want to go to university...look now my temperature is down."Asmara said placing his one hand on her forehead and the other hand on her neck.

"Yes temperature is a little down but why are you so adamant in going to university?"Hashim sighed.

"Nothing just normal classes."

Asmara said fiddling with her fingers.

"Look at me."Hashim said holding her chin with his thumb and index finger.

"Umm actually Hashim I want to go so that,that Sabrina and Hashir they don't think of me as a loser!"

Asmara replied honestly.

"I knew it...you were upto something."Hashim replied.

"Hashim both of them are playing good cop,bad cop with me...I don't want them to use me."Asmara placed her hands on his shoulders.

"You know what good cop,bad cop is?"Hashim asked.

"Hmm...one being good to you and the other threatening so to make me trust on the good one...but I am not a fool anymore,when you told she is his friend at that time it clicked in my mind that they are doing so."

"My little titli is getting mature day by day...I must say I am impressed!"Hashim placed a kiss on her temple.

Asmara gave a big smile and leaned ahead kissing his cheek lovingly.Hashim smiled and winked playfully:"what you are upto now?"

"Nothinnggg!"Asmara replied playfully.

"Aahaan...wifey something something?"Hashim circled his arms around her waist.

"Nothing!"Asmara bowed her head down.

"Seriously?"Hashim whispered in her ear.

"Haan g...why only you can kiss me where-ever and whenever you want...I can also do so!"Asmara said rightfully.

"So you want me to stop kissing you?"Hashim asked trying to control his laughter.

"No you always get me wrong...I don't want that...I want to*kissed his cheek again* do this."

"But I want something else...!"

Hashim whispered huskily playing with her hair strands.

Asmara shied in anticipation of what was coming next...

"I want to...I want to...to go to office!"Hashim said laughing inwardly.

"To hell with your office."Asmara said placing her lips on his.

Hashim was again amazed at Asmara but he just loved all her antics...shy,stubborn,demanding and open up.

When they parted away,Asmara was all red breathing heavily...slightly shivering,Hashim took her into his arms hiding her in his chest,caressing her back,trying to relax her...

"Okay now?"Hashim asked raking his fingers through her hair.

Asmara nodded in his chest...

"Meri jan."Hashim planted a chaste kiss on her head.

"Hashim we are getting late na?"Asmara spoke up.

"Hm..."

"So let me go...I am fine now!"

Asmara whispered close to his heart.

"Okay...let's move otherwise you will sleep right here."Hashim teased her.

Asmara hitted his chest:"Don't tease me!"

"Okay let's get ready...my love!"

Both of them got up...and got ready heading to the university and office.

"Allah Hafiz Hashim!"Asmara said entering the university gate.

"Allah hafiz,I'll come to pick you up,just take care of your self till then."

In the university...

Asmara moved confidently to her lecture hall,sitting on the second bench...playing on her phone tapping her feet on the floor.

"Hey!"someone tapped her shoulder.

"Yaar please don't disturb,I am busy!"She replied.

"Asmara...hey I am Hashir!"

"Haan so what?"Asmara questioned and the group of girls standing near them laughed.

"We met yesterday...remember?"

Hashir said.

"Oh yes I remember...so what now?"Asmara asked.

"Umm...so how are you?"Hashir was confused.

"I was fine before you came...!"

Asmara whined.

"What happened now?"Hashir asked.

"I lost my game...go away now!"

She almost yelled.

"Whoa easy girl...let me play!"

Hashir said forwarding his hand to take her mobile.

"Why would I give you my phone,who you are?"Asmara was angry now.

"We had good talk yesterday now you are acting weird...I have saved you from bullying!"Hashir was shocked on her behaviour.

"You didn't saved me...you just forbade your friend not to bully me...now move aside,you are not sitting here,I can't allow any male sitting with me...so please now leave!"Asmara was irritated.

"You have to pay for it!"Hashir was furious now.

"Okay...move aside now!"Asmara replied.

"I'll tell everyone that you are married to an uncle!"Hashir threatened her.

"Dare you say a word about Hashim!"Asmara said pointing her finger towards Hashir.

"Its the truth!"

"I am married and that too with Hashim...If you think of him as uncle...I don't care little cub!"

Asmara was angry now.

"Hashir leave her for now...we'll deal with her any other time!"

Sabrina grabbed Hashir's arm taking him away from the fight.

All the boys and girls were laughing now...that how this girl became so courageous that she insulted Hashir...the biggest playboy and bully of their class.

After that the lecture started...a girl came and sat next to Asmara...it was her first day at university...she was also new...so she sat beside Asmara.

"Assalamoalaikum!"she forwarded her hand.

Asmara smiled giving her hand in hers of handshake and greeted her back...

"I am Ansha...you?"the girl asked.

"Asmara!"

"I am...actually its my first day here so I was a bit hesitant!"

The girl replied.

"Its my second day...don't hesitate,we can be friends because all others don't know us!"Asmara suggested.

Ansha smiled and later they talked a little about each other.Ansha was the single child of her parents and they are living in Dubai since she was born...she is confident girl with a down to earth nature.

Asmara told her about herself and Hashim,her parents and the marriage stuff...and Ansha was amazed that Asmara is married and the talks continued later on Asmara introduced Ansha with Hashim.

And Ansha told Hashim about what Asmara did to Hashir...they all laughed.

"You are truly unbelieveable wifey!"Hashim praised her and they headed back home.

"Thank you!"Asmara said giving a toothy smile.
