After dinner, Neha and Azfar came back home after midnight. Fatima and Raheem were already in bed, sleeping peacefully. They quietly stepped into the house and went straight to their bedroom. Azfar put all the shopping bags on their bed and went to the closet. He emptied the biggest compartment of his wardrobe for Neha and then brought all the bags into the closet. One by one, he emptied all the bags and set her things into her wardrobe. Once done he brought Neha into the closet. "Now that your wardrobe is set, I want all my clothes back." He said in a friendly tone.
"Okay." She replied softly with a smile. He exited the closet and sat at the edge of the bed.
"Can't you sleep on the couch?" She asked and he turned to look at her with a raised brow.
"If I sleep on the couch, Amma will catch us and we don't want that, do we?" He asked.
"No!" She replied and shook her head.
"But we can do something that can make you sleep comfortably in this bed." He replied and stood up. She looked at him with confusion visible on her face. He went to the couches and grabbed all the cushions from the couches and brought it to their bed. With the help of the cushions, he built a wall in the middle of the bed that separated both of their sides of the bed.
"Now tell me, will you be comfortable to sleep on the same bed with me? This wall will keep me away from you. Happy?" He asked her.
"Yes, I'll be fine." She replied and giggled. He smiled hearing her. He pinched her cheek lightly and went to the bathroom. She went to the closet to pick herself PJs for bedtime. He stepped out of the bathroom, freshly showered. And this time he avoided wrapping a towel around his waist. He didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable around him. He wore his PJs instead and stepped out of the bathroom. She smiled seeing his efforts to make her feel comfortable. She went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. She changed into her comfy PJs and stepped out of the bathroom. The lights were dim in the room and he was sitting on the study table with his laptop in front of him and some papers as well. She went to him and stood beside the study table.
"What are you doing?" She asked him.
"I have some work to finish, only then I can sleep. You go and sleep, you have classes tomorrow and I don't want you to miss any. Go." He told her and she nodded her head. She felt bad for him that she would sleep peacefully and he had work to finish. But she didn't want to anger him, so she did as he told her to do. She crawled into bed and turned off the lamp on the bed side table.
"Good night Neha." He said.
"Good night." She replied with a smile. She then closed her eyes and in a few minutes she was in her dream land. He chuckled when he heard her snoring.
After an hour, he was done with his work. He shut the laptop and went to his side of the bed. She moaned softly and he turned to look at her. She had a frown on her forehead. He went to her side and sat beside her. A moan escaped her lips and he understood. He moved the comforter off of her feet and started massaging her feet softly. He kept massaging her feet until the frown on her forehead was gone. He adjusted the comforter over her body, then went to his side and laid down. He looked at her one last time and closed his eyes and drifted off.
He hit the snooze on his mobile and got up. Neha was still sleeping peacefully like a baby. He chuckled and made his way to the closet. He picked his clothes for the day. "Finally, it's Friday." He thought to himself and stepped out of the closet. He stepped into the bathroom, peeled off his clothes and hopped into the hot shower. Once done, he wore his clothes and exited the bathroom. He dried his hair with a towel. He went to the bed and gently stroked her hair. She slowly opened her eyes and found him sitting beside her with a smile on his handsome face. She felt something funny in the pit of her stomach.
"Good morning." He said.
"Good morning." She replied and stretched her arms above her head. A yawn escaped her lips and she sat up on the bed.
"When did you sleep last night?" She asked.
"When I was done with my work. Now, no more questions. Get up and get ready. I am waiting for you in the kitchen." He informed her and exited the room. She stood up and went to the closet. She picked a long shirt and paired it with skinny jeans and went to the bathroom. She took a quick shower, wore her clothes and stepped out of the bathroom. She untangled her hair and applied some eyeliner and lipgloss. After her Salah she picked her bag and went downstairs. Her breakfast was already on the table. Fatima and Raheem were seated on the dining table, enjoying their breakfast. She sat on the seat beside Azfar's seat and started digging in. Once done, they both bid their goodbyes and went to the car. He started the engine and drove off.
He parked the car in front of University gate and turned to her again. "Now what?" She asked with a cute pout on her face. He picked up the gift bag from the back seat and handed it to her.
"What is it?" She asked.
"See for yourself. Open it." He replied with a small smile. She looked into the bag and found a box wrapped in pink shimary paper. She fished it out of the bag and unwrapped it. She gasped when she realized that he had gifted her a new mobile phone.
"A new phone!" She squealed in excitement.
"Yes, do you like it?" He asked.
"Yes! Thank you. When did you buy it?" She asked him.
"When you were busy looking for your book, I went to the mobile shop and bought it for you. I'm glad you like it because I know nothing about your favorite color and model." He replied.
"It's perfect, thank you." She replied.
"Okay, my number, along with Amma and Baba's numbers are already saved in the mobile. You can save your friend's numbers as well but I want you to wait a bit longer till I talk to your family. Okay?" He asked her and she nodded her head. She bid him goodbye and hopped out of the car. She was walking towards her campus when someone grabbed her elbow and pulled her into a dark corner. She tried to scream but they covered her mouth with their hand. They slammed her against the wall and grabbed her neck. She opened her eyes and found Arman in front of her.
"You think I let you live if you married another man. I don't think so." He roared at her loudly and she got scared. He raised his hand to slap her and she closed her eyes, as tightly as she could.
"You think I'll let you live if you married another man. I don't think so." Arman roared at her loudly and Neha got scared. He raised his hand to slap her and she closed her eyes, as tightly as she could. But it never came. She opened her eyes again and found Azfar holding Arman's hand, stopping him. She quickly ran behind Azfar and held his arm tightly."You dare to even think of hurting her." Azfar roared at him."Step away from her. She is my fiance. And you, am I not enough for you?" Arman roared back. Azfar didn't reply to Arman but slammed his fist with Arman's face. Arman fell on the ground with a loud thud. He held his cheek which was red because of Azfar's hard punch.
Neha opened the door of the bedroom and stepped in. She was holding a tray. She walked to Azfar's side of the bed and set the tray on the bed side table. "Azfar…" she called his name softly and gently rubbed her hand over his. He moved a bit but didn't wake up. "Azfar…" she called him again, a little louder this time and tapped his shoulder. He slowly opened his eyes and found his angel sitting beside him. He smiled and rubbed the sleep off of his eyes."What time is it?" He asked in a low gruffy voice."It's almost midnight. You fell asleep and I didn't wake you up." She replied."You all had your dinner or not?" He asked.
Naveen was sitting on a chair, in the dining room. She was chopping the vegetables but her mind was elsewhere. She was missing Neha. She had 2 daughters of her own, but Neha was very caring. Alina, Neha's mother, before Alina died Naveen promised Alina that she would take care of Neha and will protect her no matter what.She wiped her tears as she remembered the promise she had made with a dying person but couldn't keep it. Arshad didn't hear anyone, he didn't let anyone explain. He made his decision and kicked Neha out. Naveen was very worried about Neha being out there, fighting her battles all alone. She tried so many times to talk with Arshad and tried to convince him, not to leave Neha alone. But he never listened. She tried to make him think of his dead brother who had left his only daughter with Arshad and his family. He knew
Azfar was sitting in a cafe with his childhood friend Musa. Azfar had dozens of friends, but Musa and Azfar were really close. They both became friends when they were in diapers. Musa knew Azfar very well. He knew Azfar had called him in the cafe that early, it meant something was wrong. Azfar was staring at his coffee and Musa noticed that. "What's up with you buddy? I can see you are disturbed." Musa asked."Nothing, it's just… I never thought it would be this hard." Azfar replied."I told you. That girl rejected you for no reason. And you married her forcefully, of course she will try her best to make your life hell." Musa replied and started laughing."That's the thing dude! Sh
NEHA'S POV:-I groaned in pain and tried to open my eyes. But I felt so weak that I wasn't even able to open my eyes. "Baba." My voice was barely a whisper. I was too weak to call out loud. "Baba." I called again but nothing. The pain in my head was unbearable. I winced in pain. A sob escaped my lips and tears started flowing freely."Neha, are you okay? Why are you crying?" I heard his voice."My head hurts so bad. Please, do something." I pleaded to him."Shhh… it's okay. Don't cry. Let me get you something for your headache." He said and crawled out of the bed. I wrapped my arms around my body. I started
AZFAR'S POV:-As I woke up and found that she was better. I sighed in relief. I was so worried about her and mentally cursed myself for leaving her like that. I told her to get fresh and she did. Then got up and took a quick shower. I didn't want to make her wait more. I knew she must be very hungry. I stepped out of the bathroom and pulled her out of the bedroom. I took her to the kitchen where both of my parents were talking to each other worriedly. Amma came closer with a worried face and cupped her face. "Are you okay honey?" She asked. Neha nodded her head with a cheeky smile on her beautiful face. Amma glared at me and I gulped hard in fear. I had never seen her angry all my life. Neha quickly ran and stood behind Amma."This is all your fault. Why did y
AZFAR'S POV:-I opened my eyes in the morning. I looked at Neha who was sleeping peacefully. I pecked her forehead and crawled out of the bed. I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I then brushed my teeth and exited the bathroom. I looked at my bed and found her hugging my pillow tightly. I chuckled and went to bed. I sat beside her and studied her face for a few moments. I leaned a little more and a droplet of water fell on her face. She frowned her brows and snuggled closer to my pillow. I shook my head and went to the closet. I wore my casual jeans and t-shirt and exited the closet, drying my hair with a towel.I again went to the bed and sat beside her. I leaned closer to her ear. "Wake up sleepy head. Or we will be late for your surprises." I whisp
NEHA'S POV:-The whole day went amazing. I had a lot of fun with Azfar. I didn't actually know that Azfar was a fun guy. Well, it definitely wasn't my fault. I haven't known him a month before. The fun part was he always treated me like a baby and I could do anything. After the graveyard, he took me to a cafe where we had our breakfast. Then he took me to so many places. We went to the zoo, then parks then he took me to a foot street. We had our lunch there. Then he took me to the beach. He and I sat into the car and watched the sun dipping into the ocean. It was very beautiful. The way the sky changed its colors, I had never witnessed something so breathtaking ever in my life.After the sun fully settled down and the moon started shining brightly in the dark
