"Hashim you are not going to office today?"Asmara asked when they finished the breakfast.

"I missed you so much na,so I decided to stay at home with you."

Hashim said with a cheeky smile.

"How cute Hashim...don't butter me up...I know you are jet lagged."

Asmara replied squishing his cheek.

"Oh so you got me?"Hashim pulled her in his lap.

"Any doubt Mr.Husband?"Asmara locked her arms behind his neck.

"Umm...no."Hashim placed his hands on her waist,hugging her in a way making Asmara chuckle.

"Hashim?"Asmara spoke playing with his shirt buttons.

"Hm."Hashim hummed playing with her hair lock.

"Promise me?"Asmara said looking in his eyes.

"What?"Hashim asked.

"You won't leave me alone ever."

"Asmara that was urgent so I had to go...business is important too."

Hashim explained.

"Ok...but never again?"Asmara was still demanding him to promise her.

"Did you miss me that much wifey?"Hashim asked tucking her hair strand behind her ear.

"Hashim the thing is whenever you are not with me,my silly brain give me stupidest thoughts and I act like a sentimental and then I hurt you,I hurt myself...I don't want all this ever again."Asmara told what was in her heart.

"Oh my cutie pie...nothing like that will happen ever again."Hashim held her chin cooing her.

"I missed you."Asmara threw her head on his shoulders hugging him as tightly as she can.

"My innocent butterfly..."Hashim caressed her hair.

"I am not leaving you now,I will keep sitting right here."Asmara announced.

"Silly."Hashim chuckled.

"Let's go inside bedroom,our bedroom..."Hashim said.

"No its your punishment that I'll keep sitting here." Asmara rubbed her nose on his shoulder.

"Itni pyari saza(such a lovely punishment)"Hashim said patting her back.

"Uthayen mujhe aur ly ke jayen bedroom(pick me up and take me to bedroom)"Asmara said making Hashim chuckle.

He obliged to what his wife demanded...picked her up in his arms taking her to bed while she kept clinging to him all the time.

"Ab khush(happy now)?"Hashim asked placing her on bed.

Asmara nodded with a smile "Hashim ab aap so jayen thori dair

(Hashim now you should sleep for a while)."

Hashim hummed."but wait what you will do now?"

"Nothing...I'll call Mama and tell her that we are all fine now,she was so much tensed because of my blunder."Asmara said holding the phone.

"Wait let me call her,I know its so difficult for a mother to see her daughter suffering."Hashim took out his phone.

"Hashim it was all my mistake,you don't need to call mama."

Hashim dialed Shiza's number assuring Asmara that everything will be fine.

"Assalamoalaikum beta."Shiza picked up the call.

"Walaikumusalam,how are you aunty?"

"Alhamdullilah,you both?"

"We are good aunty...Asmara was saying you must be tensed so we thought to call you to ease your tension."

"You both are happy and all the matter is solved so why would i be tensed anymore and thank you beta for forgiving her."

"Don't thank me aunty,infact I should be the one thanking you that you forgave me for what i did."Hashim said and Asmara snatched the phone from his hands.

"Mama Hashim was talking about the thing that he left me yesterday at your place."Asmara said making Hashim confused,he wiggled his brows together and Asmara gestured him to keep quiet.

"No need to apologize Hashim beta."

"Okay Mama we'll talk to you later Hashim is sleepy."Asmara said.

And they bid each other bye...ending the call.

"What was that...why you snatched the phone and abruptly ending it."

"Hashim you were going to tell Mama everything,I haven't told her everything."Asmara said.

"So what did you tell her?"

"I told her that I yelled on you and said those words to you."

"You didn't tell her about that slap and what i said to you?"Hashim was amazed.

"Why would I tell her that...I don't want anyone to blame you or dislike you that too because of me and I don't like when you apologize to someone,I don't like anybody being mad at you."Asmara spoke softly holding Hashim's hands.

Hashim's heart swelled with happiness and contentment was the thing which he felt listening to those words.

"So caring for your husband?"

"Oh you are mistaken Hashim,I am just caring for my baby's father."Asmara said with a cheeky smile and Hashim chuckled.

"Meri Jan."Hashim kissed her forehead.

"Hashim how was your trip?"Asmara asked.

"That was okay,remained busy all the time."

"Hm...Hashim Mama was telling me that you have to go to Pakistan too?"Asmara asked.

"Yup I have to go...I am miss Ayesha."

"For how many days?"Asmara asked.

"A week I guess."

"I also wanna go with you."Asmara said.

"You sure,I mean aunty uncle are here."

"I want to be with you where-ever you go."

"I'll be more than happy to take you there but we'll go once your semester ends...I'll postpone it till then."

"Thank you."

"Btw Hashim you haven't bought anything for me from there?"

Asmara asked putting her hands on her waist.

"Oh I forgot..."

"How can you forget?"Asmara felt dejected.

"Oh meri emotional titli...I forgot to give you what I bought."

"What?"Asmara's eyes shined all at once.

"Wait,let me bring it out of the bag."Hashim moved towards his bag and taking 2_3 boxes he moved towards bed where Asmara was sitting.

"This time you are surely gonna like these gifts because i bought what you like the most..."

Hashim said handing her the gift box.

Asmara opened the box and saw two rings in it...both were platinum rings...the one which was simple was looking like a male ring while the other has small pearls in it...Asmara kept gawking at the rings.

"How is it?"Hashim asked.

"Hashim...these are bestest."

Asmara kissed his cheek in excitment.

"One is for you and other for me na?"Asmara asked excitedly.

"No...I bought them for Ayesha and Omar bhai."

"Oh...okay,these are nice btw."

Asmara's face fell instantly.

"Hm...I know."Hashim said enjoying her state.

"I bought a phone for you."Hashim said giving her a new mobile.

"Thank you."Asmara was happy but she was looking at the rings with longing eyes.

"You should sleep now."Asmara turned her back to Hashim.

Hashim slipped his arm under her head and spoke near her ear.

"Hashim ki titli ko bura lga na(Hashim's butterfly felt bad na)?"

Asmara shook her head.

"You know when I was there I kept thinking what should i buy for you,after thinking for so much time,I thought of buying these rings as you love us twining so I bought them."Hashim said slowly removing her hair strands off her face.

"Then why did you lie earlier."

Asmara smacked his chest turning towards him.

"Sorry."Hashim chuckled.

"Ok let's do engagment."Asmara sat up excitedly on the bed.

"Engagement?"Hashim asked.

"Yes Mr.Husband you'll slip ring into my hand and I'll slip into your hand and this is how engagement id done."Asmara said holding Hashim's ring in her hand.

"Ok let's do it."Hashim forwarded his hand towards Asmara.

She happily took his hand and slipped the ring in his finger and then Hashim held her hand slipping her ring in her finger.

Asmara's face lit up and Hashim kept looking at her holding her hand while in next second her cheeks turned crimson,she looked down biting her lips as a shy smile adorned her face.

"What happened?"Hashim asked being amused.

"I feel shy."Asmara muttered meekly and in next second she hid her face in Hashim's chest.

Hashim chuckled at her...

"This is the first time I am seeing someone getting engaged to his wife and in return his wife is shying too."

"You are not a girl na,so you don't know how we feel when we get engaged."Asmara said with racing heart.

"Meri pagal titli(my silly)"Hashim kissed her head and then holding her shoulders he moved Asmara out of his chest.

"Let's experience something else."

Hashim said making Asmara confuse.

"Wh..."

He placed his lips on hers,kissing her slowly and then he mumbled over her lips"how does it feel to kiss after engagement."and he again pecked her lips once... moving away he winked at her.

"Hashimm!"she whined but with a smile.

"I know,I know it felt good."

Hashim teased her.

"Don't embarrass me."Asmara said while puffing her cheeks.

Hashim chuckled and planted a kiss on her puffed cheek.

"As you wish ma'am."

Later on they discussed about going to doctor for follow up and again joining their office and university from tomorrow.
