He was busy in handling his office work. After driving his parents at airport when he was going to return home then he received call from office that some urgent work needed his attention. So he went to the office.

From last few hours he was doing his work nonstop. Finishing last file he get up on his chair for go to home. He saw the dark outside the glass wall. Seeing it was 4 in morning his eyes widened. He was always like that while doing office work he didn't care anything about world.

After half hour he parked his car in pouch and went towards main door of house.

He tried to open it but it was locked. So using his spare keys which was he always carry it with his car keys. He enter in and saw that every light of the house on in which some didn't needed.

He was confused enter in lounge. But seeing the scene in his front he stood froze on his place . He shocked to see Elyana half lying on the couch in uncomfortable position , her head rested on side of it and her eyes also closed But her face was mess like she cried before sleeping.

Coming out of his shock position he went towards couch before placing his laptop bag on near table. He bent down on his knee he looked at her face. It was the first he seeing her this colsely out of his bed without any intimacy. Looking at dry tears marks on her face he knew she was crying before sleep.

He put his hand on her face and caressing her chick with his fingers. His touch felt harsh against her soft skin.

His eyes were continually staring at her face for good minutes. He rested his arms under her head and thighs. The next moment she was in his strong arms. Her head was resting on his arm one side. He climbed towards his room.

Entering in room he place her gently on the bed and covered her with duvet. He went washroom. After fresh up he also joint in the bed.

In his life this was first time He was feelings a shame of him self how he forgot about his wife who was alone in house late hours of night. He knew he was doing wrong towards her but he didn't know how to handle their marriage. Thinking that his thought went to how this nikkah happened.

Firstly He was not wanted to get married but his father request he was always helpless.

His dad told him about Elyana. He didn't object in it because before their wedding he saw her two times in her house.

When he went to meet her father with his father. She served them snacks and tea with her lower eyes. She didn't saw him. While he saw her first time. He liked her behavior and her lower eyes.

Second time He went to give file which his father told him to deliver to her father. When he went in her house where she was paying with her niece. But seeing unknown man present at house door she left to call her father with little girl. After that she didn't appear in front of him while he talked to her father. Because of that he liked her character.

So he agree for nikkah. After month their nikkah took place and she came to his house.

On wedding night he took his rights on her but nothing else. But he was always behave like he was single before marriage. He didn't give importance to her and their marriage.

He also went to the his business trip for one month while living her behind in his nikkah. During that time he didn't tried contact her.Returning from there he was same ignore her like she didn't even exist in the world. Like marriage was just formality to him which he did for his family happiness. He was always busy in office but everything start to change on one day.

*********************

In past time :

That was day of Tanya's henna function. Every guests and relatives were enjoying their food in garden under the night sky.

He stood with his cousins while listening their talking and joking about something which he didn't get it.

"Keeyam one minute please" Suddenly his mother called him.

"Yes mom" he went towards her who was standing with food of plate in his hands.

"Beta, give this plate to Tanya. You know that she doesn't control her hunger." She told him while giving the food plate.

Nodding his head he went in the house with food plate in his hands. When he entered in lounge thén saw that Elyana was feeding her with her own hands. That was the first time He felt some emotions towards her but which emotions he didn't put finger on it. He was about to left from there but listening Tanya's voice he stopped in his track.

"Bhabhi something is wrong with you na?" Tanya asked freeing her wrist.

"No ...nothing is wrong. Everything is alright" she answered while looking every where but her.

"No..no I know between Bhai and you has some problems. Something is off with both of you. Like two of you running from each other. Right na? " she again asked.

"No... nothi...." She was telling but Tanya give her face that stopped her.

He didn't want to eaves dropping but mention of his name he didn't help it. Listening whole conversation of them he was stunned. He didn't know that his little sister who was like child to him. She knew very well about his personality.

Other side he was shocked to know that his hard cold and silent behavior which was hurting Elyana. He didn't give thought about it but listening that was effective him. He didn't know what he was doing to her till now.

That night he didn't sleep for second. He didn't want to hurt anyone in his life but unknowingly he was badly hurting her.

After that he was busy in preparation of Tanya's wedding. So he didn't have time for any thought. But he was noticing her every move and present now.

**********************

It was Tanya's ruksati day. In evening he was ready for ceremony in nevy blue tuxedo. After checking final arrangements in lawn he went to her sister's room. She was going to leave the house today. So he wanted to spend little time with her.

Knocking he entered in her room and saw that his little sister was looking princess in her bridal wear. Seeing him their cousins left the room for some privacy. He went to her and hugged her.

"Tanya you are looking beautiful in this". Pulling back from the hug he complimented her.

"Thank you bhai all credit goes your wife she is the one who help me for choose this dress" they sat on the bed. She put her head on his shoulder while his on arm wrapped around her shoulder.

"I am going miss your childish behavior" he told her.

"I am also going to miss you. Now who is going fullfill my every demand there." He litttle smiled at her.

Spending some minutes with each other. Kissing her head he get up for leave.

"Bhai please call the bhabhi here. I need her. She went to get ready from half hour. But she didn't come yet." She requested him.

"Sure" saying that he went towards his room.

He opened the door of his room. He stood in his place. Elyana was standing infront mirror. Her back was facing him so she didn't show him. But he saw her from head to toe. She was looking very beautiful to him in her black dress.

He was busy in admiring her while she saw frown on her face. When his eyes went towards her hands then he came to know what was problem. He went towards the dressing table where she was standing. He took the bracelet from her and make her wear it.

They were very close that he first time smelled her sweet fragrance which was very addicting to him. But she left freeing her wrist from his hold like his touch burning her. He also went down removing every thought.

Finishing ceremony they went to sleep but his eyes far away from sleep. He sit up and put his head against headboard of the bed. He saw Elyana fast asleep.

He took his laptop from his side drawer and went to balcony of his room. He sat on the chair and put the laptop in his lap. He started to finish some pending work but her thought was disturbing him again and again. He frustratingly closed the laptop.

Now he wanted to give their marriage chance. He wanted know her. He decided observed her that was best idea for silent man like him. With that thought he went to the bed. He saw duvet slipped from her little form so he covered her properly in duvet.

"Don't worry we will make this marriage successful." With that he slept on his side.

******************

After that he observed her every move like some stalker. His gaze always on her. He didn't miss any talk or anything about her.

While observing he come to know more about her. Like she was fond of children and she was very good with them. Since the marriage she was doing every work of him which he didn't know that. She was didn't like to dress up. She didn't fond of makeup. Tanya and she was like best friends it make him happy.

But knowing some thing about her that made him disturbed. Like She didn't talk in his present. She like his closeness. In his present she was always uncomfortable. In night he always felt her hestination for sharing one bed. That was hurting him.

That day Tanya was coming back to meet them after finishing her honeymoon. He came back home early because his mom continued nagging him on the call.

He was climbing up stairs when he saw her hurriedly climbing down the stairs then she missed the stepped. He fastly went to her and study her on her place while resting his hands on her small waist. He saw her eyes closed. But when she opened it then he saw fear and disgust from him. It was shocked him to core that he didn't notice when she run from his hold.

"Keeyam why are you standing on the stairs. Go they will come anytime." His mother voice break his chain of thought. Nodding he went to his room for change.

That night on dinning table every family member was present. Everyone happily having their dinner but he didn't have any appiete. So making excuse of office call he went to the garden for fresh air.

He was feelings very suffocated in there.

He sat on the bench for clear his mind. But her eyes was disturbing him. He didn't felt peace in anything. He was restless. He didn't know what to do now because his mind didn't working properly. Her fears, uncomfortable, uneasy, silent treatment , insecurity everything about her killing him.

Some minutes passed he decided back. He entered and saw Elyana feeding his niece on dinning table it make him smile little. while everyone in living room.

He decided make some coffee for himself because he was having headache. When he entered the kitchen then he saw newlyweds making tea together.

Tanya stood near the stove while Sameer hugging her from behind.

"Sameer leave me someone will come" she was trying free from his hold.

"Not happen Mrs Sameer. You have to first give me my pending kiss." He demanded to her.

"No kiss for tonight Mr. Sameer. You are going to sleep on the sofa tonight. That is your punishment for troubling me in my house." She told him.

"Ah....your house ok mrs. You are not give me kiss. No problem but tonight I am going to make love to you so passionately and you are going to love that." He shared his thought with her. Listening this she blush hard.

"Shut up" saying that she nudged on his arm.

Keeyam didn't want to listen any this types conversation but he was shocked to see them that closed in short time. While he was married to months but he didn't shair like that closeness with Elyana.

He was about left from there but Sameer last comment his foot steps stopped. He didn't want to listen her sister's romance life. But his luck now days didn't with him. He was scolding himself for come to kitchen. Straight he went to his room without any word.

He was embarrassed on his act. How he interfere in someone privacy. But he didn't control his curiosity.

He passing here and there in his room while thinking everything. How they was behaving friendly like they know each other from ages? How they didn't feel awkwardness or anything? How they become this close?

His mind asking multiple questions but he didn't have any answer. He sighed and went to balcony in his room. He stood near the railings.

He closed eyes to calm his nerves but he saw something which was he missing it.

He saw love for Sameer in Tanya's eyes.

Ya.... Love... smile spread on his handsome face like he solved big puzzle.

All his questions answer was love. They were in love with each other.

Feeling Roused in his heart he also want to see love for him in her eyes.

Just that way they could live their marriage life happily.

*******************

That was weekend he came from the office to pick up some file which his dad forgot in their in study room. He went to straight study room and took that file. He entered in lounge and saw that Elyana and Tanya enjoying movie and talking about missing her. But Tanya next question stopped him.

"Not that. About you and Bhai?" Tanya asked her.

He didn't want to disturb everyone in his family with his marriage problem. They both like bestie. He was scared because he thought Elyana tell her every thing about their differences.

"We are fine. Don't worry about us. You enjoy your wedding life. Now watch movie because we don't want to miss something interesting." Listening that he released his breath which he didn't know holding it.

Seeing how Elyana told her with smile. How she didn't want to involve or disturb anyone in it. How she was respecting their privacy of marriage life. How she didn't complain about him to anyone in family once. She left good impression in his eyes.

Now he felt more respected towards her. Before he respected her as woman but now he wanted give her respect as his wife which she surely deserved it but he didn't give her in his cold, domanative and rude behavior.

At dinner table Tanya asked his permission about Elyana staying in her room with her. Someway he didn't like that idea. He tried make excuse but Tanya as always make him give in.

After having dinner he went to the study room in house to complete some work. Finishing the work he went to his room for sleep. But he entered saw room in all dark. When he was going to search for her then he remembered about She will sleep with Tanya in their one of guest room.

He was trying to sleep from one hour but sleep also didn't want him. He tiredly get up and took his car keys. He decided went for long drive so he went down about to leave for it.

"Keeyam where are you going at this hour?" his mom stopped him in his track.

"Nothing mom. But just want to some fresh" he went to his mom where she was standing with jug of water.

Rameesha put the jug on side table. She dragged him to couch and him seated while holding his arm.

"Beta I am seeing you are very disturb now days like you are facing some difficulties. What happened beta tell me na?" She was worried for her dear son.

"No mom. Just office problem" Telling that he put his head in her lap and his legs on the couch.

"Don't lie to me. Just some office work don't make my son that disturb. I know that is something else" he know very well his mother always know about him without telling her so he didn't answer this time. He has no idea what to tell her.

She was running her fingers in his hair. Few minutes passed in silent.

"It is about Elyana." Listening that he looked at her with winded eyes.

"No..." He was going to answer it. But she stopped him putting her hands on his mouth.

"I know it is about Elyana and your expression confirmed it. Also I didn't ask you I just told you." She told him while removing her hand. This time he was silent on his place. He didn't object on it.

"You forget that I am also living in this house and noticing every thing. How you and Elyana living in house. How you don't notice her. How you don't give your marriage chance. How she always try to far away from you. I thought that is between two of you so you both handle it ." She told him.

"Mom I don't know what to do make her comfortable with me. I ignored her before. But now I want to give us chance." He told her which was running in his mind.

"Keeyam you know from your childhood you always want to become like your dad. Now you are domanative, cold, strict, stubborn, respective for world and caring, loving , sweet , protective for family just Like your dad but in one you didn't become like him. He know how to handle his emotions and how to open up with his spouse. That quality you don't have. Tell me when last time you talked to her. When last time you spend time with her. When you went your business trip then you didn't even contact her. " he was realised his fault.

Listening this he came to know he didn't do anything with her like his mother telling him.

"Beta every wife want her husband undying attention. He complement her. He take care of her. He spend time with her. He take her on outing and dinner. What so not woman always demanding towards her husband.They share pain, happiness, sadness everything like friends. Some time they have to compromise also. " she advising him as his mother while he was listening like obedient child.

"Keeyam you are lucky that Elyana is your wife because if i am in her place then i kill your dad with my tortures." He smiled his mom thought.

"You know Elyana is very nice girl. She spent her life without her mother. But she has every thing which need for house wife. She didn't complain me for once about your behavior. In your absence just one and last time she went to her father's house after that she doesn't go out of the house. We insist her many time but She always ignore it. She is like daughter to me. I appreciate you want to know her. For gaining you have to first learn to how to give. You have take this marriage seriously. Marriage is not child game. This is very pure, strong and important bond by creat by Allah." She told him seriously this time.

"Yes mom. I will give it try." He told her finally.

"Now go and sleep. It is very late." She shooed him.

Nodding his head he stood up and went towards study room. He don't want to sleep alone.

He liked her present in his room.

In night he always wait for her to come to room. when she entered the room then he didn't saw at her but her present was enough for him.

They always sleep with facing each other back. But she was sleeping same bed as him that was always more than enough for him. Today he didn't like his room without her. Like she was one who he needed for his peaceful sleep.

*******************

Days passing he changed his routine of work because of two reasons.

Firstly he didn't want to make her wait till midnight like before he doing that.

Secondly he wanted to spend time with her. In which he every time failed it.

She didn't giving him chance. When he went close to her then she always went far away making some lame excuse. Like they were playing tom and jerry.

He didn't how to talked to her and what he talked to her.

He was felt himself dumb as. He know how to talk his every important client but he didn't know how to talk to girl who was his wife.

One weekend he was having afternoon tea with his parents. She was serving them snacks and leave from there.

He wanted to stop her but he didn't want to make her more uncomfortable. But his mom stopped her. So she took sit on empty chair beside his. In his heart he was very happy but he didn't saw it.
