AHAD POV:
"Bhai, bhai," wiggling his eyebrows, dancing a little, giving a disgusting look he came towards me.
"My manic had asked me to join her on a Hyderabad trip to get her desired bangles and earrings." He danced around the room again and kept giving me a disgusting look.
She invited him but not me, why not me, I'm her to-be husband, is she not comfortable with me, is she not like my presence near her, do I look creepy, am I not a good match for her, I kept on thinking when Ashar broken my chain of thoughts again.
"Bhai why are you looking upset, like someone has stolen your favorite lollipop." He laughed, falling down to the ground and holding his stomach.
I stood up walked towards him to catch that idiot and beat him when he said, "Bhai no need to get upset she wants both of us to join her, I was just teasing you, you need to calm down and get home to pack your things, she'll pick us up from Do Darya at night" I instantly felt my mood lighten up, I didn't feel like replying to him and made my way towards the parking lot, getting on my car I drove to my penthouse...
Taking a shower, I picked my outfit, black, she looked at me like I was the only one she liked whenever I wore black so today's outfit would be of her choice, I took a black shalwar kameez with a brown shawl, making my hair I wore my favorite Rolex watch...
I booked a cab to go to the place since I don't want to leave my bike or car there while I'm out of the city for hours or days, getting a call from Ashar I picked it up.
"Where are you bhai, Hayat is waiting for you" smiling at the image of her waiting for me I spoke, "I'm coming, just wait for some more minutes" I cut the call and thought about how things have started to change...
Reaching the destination, thanking the driver, I got out and started looking for my wife, "she's in the car bhai, stop looking for that stupid manic and sit on the front seat that is reserved for you duh" He said irritatingly, I went towards the car and opened the passenger seat finding a card and a purple hyacinths flower which I guess represents asking for forgiveness.
I took the card and flower in my hand and sat down, looking outside I found Ashar on a call when I turned towards Hayat who was looking outside, hmm she got something interesting to see since she is ignoring me here.
"Forgiveness for what Hayat? You did nothing wrong, and I'm glad you called me yourself after taking your time, but thank you for the flowers." I smiled and looked at the front.
The flowers in my hand made me feel extraordinary at the moment, she's taking steps towards our marriage, and our relationship, and her taking 2 steps means I need to take 4 steps forward and sometimes 2 steps backward.
"I thought you might feel annoyed by my behavior. Usually, everyone feels annoyed when I don't reply on time," she whispers said...
"They might, but not me. We are going to spend our lifetime together, and we are going to understand each other as time passes, hmm," I replied, my hands itching to pat her head. But no, keep it halal till you make it Ahad.
"Come on Ashar, we need to move now" I said to Ashar, who was still on the call, nodding his head he came and sat inside...
"Hey women, you got anything to eat in your car, I'm hungry," I heard Ashar and sighed, this foodie...
I shook my head and heard Hayat, "Oh, I brought a lot of snacks and juices, I have brought some cakes and pastries too on my way here, isn't the bag kept behind my seat? Look inside, you'll find something for yourself in it."
I looked at Ashar, and he was doing his little dance looking inside the bag, he gestured me to take the juice and I said no...
Halfway through highway, I looked at Hayat, and she had her focus in front... Ashar was using his phone, and I was getting bored...
"It's 4 am. Already. We are halfway through the place. Can any of you book a hotel room for us, hmm?" Hearing Hayat, I looked at my watch and yes, it's 4 a.m.
Azan will start soon, I looked at my phone map and looked for a masjid near us...
"Hayat, my girlfriend, you wanted to talk, then why are we silent?" Ashar said and I widen my eyes looking at him.
I was about to word out my thoughts when he again said "Bhai, stop making such a disgusting face, she is a girl and my friend so it's a girlfriend don't think with your disgusting mind okay!" I glared at him. How can he be this disrespectful to his older brother...
Pointing my index finger towards him, I was about to scold him when I heard Hayat, "hey, don't... don't scold my boyfriend okay my soon to be husband, I know he's a manner less man but he's my friend you can't scold him!" She said smilingly, joining him too, woah now I'm the third wheel here...
"Don't you both team up and keep me shut my mouth, you can't call her your girlfriend and you too Hayat, I'm your fiancé, you should not say this," I looked at her with my doe eyes as she looked at me and was about to say something when she just smile and turned her head, shaking her head slightly she said "I know Ahad, we were just teasing you."
Stopping the car in front of the masjid, I and Ashar came out of the car and I said to Hayat, "Mera bacha (my baby), please don't come out, keep the car locked from inside, we are coming in some minutes okay"
I was about to shut the door when I heard her, "can I come too, I need to pray Salah" I looked at her and then at the Masjid.
I told her to wait and went inside the Masjid, meeting the Imam, I politely told him, "my wife wants to pray namaz and women aren't allowed in Masjid" He told me to get her to their home which is at the back side, she can pray there, I nodded my head and went to pray so I can go to Hayat soon...
Taking her with me to Imam's house, I met a little girl, she showed us the room and we went inside, Hayat went to do ablution while I spread the praying mat for her, she came inside the room and completed her Salah and made dua, standing up I looked at her and saw her shivering, I forward my hand with shawl for her as she looked at me...
"Cover yourself with it, you'll feel warm... let's go," I said and gestured for her to move out, thanking the Imam we made our way to the car....
"I'll drive from here, you rest in the car for a while" nodding our head we took the seat, both of my people were resting so I thought to have some breakfast at hotel, I stopped the car and woke them up.....
While we ordered the food, my gaze swiftly moved to Hayat, and I saw her clinging to the shawl, I smiled... trying to keep my heartbeat normal.
Making our way towards the car, I saw some flowers and went towards them, plucking some wildflowers for her, I made my way towards the car.
Seeing them sitting inside the car cozily, I sat on the driver seat and forward my right hand with flowers towards her, seeing her eyes closed.
I called her out and she saw my face and then the flowers. She looked shocked and happy, her eyes lit up as she took them from my head and caressed the flowers...
The ride to the hotel was silent. After getting settled in our rooms, I fresh up and slept for an hour...
Groaning, I woke up, heading towards the door as I heard the loud noise from outside. I unlocked the door and saw both of the geniuses standing there, showing me their 32 teeth...
"What's wrong?" I asked, rubbing my eyes...
"She is wrong. She is everything but happy right now. She wants to go out," Ashar said while pointing towards the person who was looking guilty...
"Sorry but I just want to go to the shop and we are getting late, I'm hungry, he's hungry, we both are hungry, we need food and you are older than us so take us to the restaurant, I want bangles and he wants to get something which I don't know from here too and it's already 11 in the morning, we are getting late Ahad" I listened to her blabbering and nodded my head at each and everything she said...
"You manic, dumbo, do you even know what you are saying?" Ashar said and hit her on the back side of her head...
She looked at me with those guilty eyes, Ah, I just-
Taking a deep breath, calming my nerves I looked at Ashar, "Do not scold my wife, remember it, and Hayat let me get ready then we'll go out okay" I said and opened my door for them to come inside, they sat in the room, they started to munch some snacks while I went to get ready...
After having our stomachs full, we went to the market. She was excited and looked at everything with shiny eyes, and Ashar was on her side scolding her while I was just following her here and there.
She brought so many pairs of bangles and earrings for herself and there Ashar was holding the bags, a set of bangles caught my eyes, "bhai, pack these for me" I said as I looked around to find some more pairs for her.
"Which size, bhai?" Asked the shopkeeper as he looked at me, I was confused, "Do we have sizes in these too?" I asked the shopkeeper as I was confused.
"Yes, bhai, there are different sizes of bangles, as every wrist size is different" Nodding my head to that, I thought for some minutes and made an O from my hand.
"This big, she wears gajray, and that fits her perfectly fine, so I guess this will be alright," I said showing my right hand that I made an O with.
"Okay, bhai, I'll pack size 2 for you" I nodded my head as I looked back to see both of my people fighting again, they love fighting and I love watching it, I might need some popcorn from now on every time they are together... I brought the bangles for her, and on our way, we brought some for my mother and her auntie too....
It was noon already when we got free, "Do you guys smell the amazing, mouth-watering delicious aroma of biryani, it's coming from somewhere nearby" we heard Ashar, this dramatic man had his eyes closed as he spoke.
"Brother, there's a biryani hotel just near and it's famous for it, the mouth-watering aroma is coming from there," a young boy said as Ashar nodded while saying thanks and we moved towards the place...
After coming back to the hotel, we packed our bags and moved out...
I met Hayat halfway through our walk outside, and we both exchanged glances.
I opened my mouth to speak when Ashar interrupted, "Move fast stupid, even a turtle walks faster than you." This brother of mine loves to interrupt us but no problem I'll give him a nice lecture later.
I thought to myself and said, "Here, take the keys and put all the pieces of stuff in the car, we are coming" I gestured him to move and he did but after giving me a disgusting look, I hate my brother.
Hayat was glancing at me when I forwarded my right hand towards her with a bag of bangles in it, "I liked these and thought to get them for you," I turned around and scratched the back of my head.
"Thank you," she said and gestured us to move towards the car, while she ran away, yeah, she gestured to me like let's go and then ran away, maybe she's shy...
Hayat had my shawl with her all the time, she didn't give it to me the entire time and I didn't ask for it, she looked beautiful as the shawl draped around her...
While I was driving this time, both of them were fighting "his work will be his only priority," Ashar said...
"No priority changes," Hayat said....
"If working won't be his priority, then who would be?" Ashar asked
"Me," Hayat said and widened her eyes, I was looking at her from the corner of my eye.
"Me, you, uncle auntie, I mean the entire family," Hayat said, trying to save herself from the embarrassment ... but am I going to point it out, nope, she's just too cute.
"Nah, Nah, you said YOU WILL BE HIS PRIORITY," Ashar said, wiggling his eyebrows, and Hayat looked away irritatingly...
