•||Ch17: A New Start||•

||Sania POV||

I looked at Zain who was in his deep thoughts. “Is everything fine?” I asked him and handed him his coffee. He took the cup and sighed. “There is a proposal for Mirha. Mom and dad are going to accept it.”

“Then why are you sad?” I asked him. “Because that means she is going to leave us soon. For me she is still a baby. I just don't want her to leave and start a new life.” He whispered.

“She is now grown up. And who is saying she will leave you? A sister can never leave a brother who takes care of her like a princess.”

He smiled down at me and kissed my forehead. “Call me a silly brother but I am not ready to share her with anyone,” He mumbled.

“I forget to tell you. Go quickly and get ready. I have something to show you,” He said looking down at me.

I quickly changed my dress and did natural makeup. I was very excited thinking where he was taking me.

I opened the door and saw Zain outside waiting for me. “Stop looking like a beautiful angel,” He said with a smile.

I turned the radio on and the song ‘Kaun Tujhe’ played. I sang it and thought of our lovely moment.

🎶Tu aata hai seene mein

Jab jab saansein bharti hoon

Teri dil ki galiyon se

Main har roz guzarti hoon 🎶

🎶You come in my heart

Whenever I inhale

I pass through the lanes of your heart every day🎶

I was not gonna deny it that I fell for his man really hard. I didn't even imagine my life without him.

🎶Main tujhse hi chhup chhup kar

Teri aankhein padhti hoon

Kaun tujhe yun pyaar karega

Jaise main karti hoon 🎶

🎶Hidden from you,

I secretly read your eyes,

Who can love you the way I do?🎶

🎶Meri hansi tujhse

Meri khushi tujhse

Tujhe khabar kya beqadar 🎶

🎶My laughter is because of you

My happiness is because of you

You are unaware, O ungrateful one🎶

When the song ended he said, “I didn't know my wife can sing so well.” I looked at him and could see the big smile on his face.

He stopped the car and we both climbed out of the car. I was astonished after looking around. There was a small table in the middle and lake near it.

“Wow!” was the only word I uttered. Zain held my hand and took me near the table. Small pillows were around the table. He motioned me to sat down.

I sat down and watched him going and came back with a picnic basket. He sat down with me and bought sandwiches out of the basket.

“Since when you plan this? And you make these?” I asked him biting my smile. “A long time ago,” He said and fed me with his hand.

After eating he took me for a walk. There was darkness everywhere. I tightly held his hand. I was going to whisper his name but the fairy lights turned on.

We were stood in the middle and the song was suddenly played.

🎶tainu itna main pyaar karaan

ik pal vich sau baar karaan

tu jaave je mainu chhaD ke

maut da intezaar karaan🎶

🎶I love you so much,

love you a hundred times in a moment,

if you leave me and go,

I’ll wait for death..🎶

He pulled me and put his hands on my waist. I looked up in his eyes and saw the love he had for me.

🎶ke tere liye duniya chhoD di hai

tujhpe hi saans aake ruke

main tujhko kitna chaahata hoon

ye tu kabhi soch na sake🎶

🎶I’ve left the world for you,

my breath stops at you only.

How much I love you,

you can’t even think..🎶

I was slowly losing myself in his eyes and enjoyed the dance with him. He twirled me around him then pulled me back in front of me.

🎶aankhon ki hain ye khwahishein ke

chehre se tere naa haTein

neendon mein meri bas tere

khwaabon ne leen hain karwaTein🎶

🎶this is the wish of my eyes,

that they don’t stop looking at you..

in my sleep, there are twists and turns

of your dreams only..🎶

Then he rolled me in his arms.

🎶ke teri ore mujhko le ke chalein

ye duniya bhar ke sab raaste

main tujhko kitna chahta hoon

ye tu kabhi soch na sake🎶

🎶all the paths of the world

take me towards you only.

how much I love you,

you can’t even think..🎶

He rolled me in his arms then left me. I turned around and gasped to see him on his one knee. “Zain!” I whispered.

“I am stuck at romantic speech. Marry me once again,” He said with box in his hand. Inside the box was a beautiful ring.

I put my trembling hand in his and he put the ring in my finger. When he put ring I heard many claps and whistles. I looked around and saw our families and his close and best friends. The stage fireworks were firing around us.

I hadn't seen Zain after our date and I was getting excited to see him again after so many days. I was getting ready for my Nikkah and Mirha was teasing me continuously. “Does my brother ever said he loves you?” She asked with a giggled.

I blushed and she gasped. “Oh my gosh! That means he did told you. So what you said?” She asked clapping her hands. “I didn't say anything,” I whispered.

She looked at me in shocked and yelled, “What! You didn't,” I hummed looking down. “Well, I am planning to tease him a little tonight,” I mumbled with red cheeks.

“Seriously? Then I am in your team. Team Sania Bhabhi! Tease him as much you can bhabhi,” She said hugging me.

My room door opened and amma entered with Zara. Mirha gave us privacy and left. “I am so happy for you. He is nice man for you who will take good care of you. I don't believe my baby is now someone's wife,” Amma said kissing my forehead.

Zara and amma both hugged me. I pulled away and wiped their tears. “Don't cry,” I whispered and trying to control my own tears.

I sat in front of Zain. Between us was see through curtain.

“Do you Sania accept Zain as your husband?” Imam asked.

Old memories of Nikkah were flashing in my mind. Last time I was nervous, scared and unsure but this time I was happy to be his again.

“I do.”

I answered three times with a shy smile.

“Do you Zain accept Sania as your wife?” Imam asked Zain.

“I do.”

He answered three times.

The curtain was removed and my veil from my face. Everyone hugged us one by one. Though we were already married but our parents wanted to see us married again and both Zain and I wanted to start our life with a new start.

They didn't let Zain and me sit together after Nikkah. After Nikkah Mirha dragged me away from Zain. Now I was getting ready for reception.

After getting ready Mirha again dragged me in a car. Zain was in different car. “Bhabhi. We are not going to leave you both so soon,” Mirha sang with a smirk.

“Don't do this torture on your brother,” I said her with a laugh. “Ooho! On my brother or on you?” She asked wiggling her eyebrows and giggled. I blushed and looked away.

Zain and I sat together but no one was planning to leave us alone on the stage. By the face reaction of Zain I could tell he was getting annoyed and irritated. Our reception was grand. Most people were his business partners.

Zain was busy talking with his friend when Mirha came and sat beside me in anger. “Why are you angry?” I asked her. “An idiot ruined my mood. Remember I told you on the way to university my car collided with someone?” I nodded my head remembering once she told me about it.

“That idiot was him. He ruined my mood by showing his cute. OK not cute. An ugly face,” She mumbled. I laughed at her and told her, “Don't ruin your mood because of that oh-not-so-cute-but-an-ugly-face-idiot!”

She pouted and said, “You are making fun of me.” “You are behaving like a kid. Stop thinking about him and forget him,” I said.

She came near my ear and whispered, “Be aware tonight!” She whispered and ran away.

On my Allah! Please save us from her evil plans tonight. Was the only thing which I could pray.

I looked at Mirha helplessly. She was not letting me and Zain go in our room. She was keeping me with her forcefully and making me watch her favorite movies.

Zain was taken away by his friends. They all planned it to irritate us. The door of theater opened and Zain stomped inside.

He grabbed my hand in anger and pulled me with him. “Enough of irritating me. Now I just want my wife,” He said angrily, pulling me with him.

Mirha was laughing and yelled, “Have fun both of you!” I looked back her and shot her my icy glare.

Zain opened the door of our and pulled me inside. I stood in the room watching him closing and locking the door irritatingly. I laughed at him because he was looking cute.

He turned around and playfully glared at me. “Stop laughing at me. They didn't let us see each other. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?” He said with a cute pout.

“Dear husband. I missed you, too. I also missed this child behavior of yours which I love,” I said with a teasing smile.

He slowly advanced towards me and asked with a playful smile, “You love my child behavior but not me?” “Maybe I love whole you,” I playfully said and stepping backward away from me.

Before he caught me I ran away from him. He ran after me trying to catch me. The whole room was echoing from our laughs.

I was turned around when Zain caught me and we both fell on the bed. I was laughing at him and didn't notice the small distance between us.

Once I stopped laughing I looked at him and noticed our an inch distance. “Do you love me or maybe you love me?” He asked and slowly closing the distance.

“I do love you,” I whispered breathlessly. He closed the distance between us. From that day our fate was permanently sealed together.
