HAYAT POV:
Sitting downstairs with my mother-in-law, as she told me about the family gathering that was going to be held there, all the family members were going to come here to see me, I was dressed in a royal blue color gown with a silk dupatta in a side, Ahad had gone with Ashar to see off Samir and Sahil, they both have to go.
I wanted to know Ahad company to know about him but no problem they will be back soon...
All the family members sat there in the lounge, I came in with Ammi (mother-in-law) and Auntie on my side, she came to meet me and Ammi told her to join us, while I sat on the sofa, I felt someone continuously stares at me, glancing towards the side I found a girl looking, NO glaring at me, oh why? I questioned myself, yet shrugging the thought I greeted everyone.
Ammi introduced everyone and I found that she was Ahad's aunt's daughter, Seema.
"Bhabi(sister-in-law) the bride is hmm, beautiful but she has really bad taste in color and dressing, look at my daughter, isn't she looking beautiful in this green dress and wasn't she looking beautiful at the wedding, what do you say Hayat? Isn't my daughter looking beautiful today, too?" I heard Ahad auntie.
As per my request, no one wore red color in my wedding but this girl did! She wore a dress that looked like a bride's dress, how dare she...
I couldn't complain because I thought she might be illiterate since it was written on the card that no one is allowed to wear a red color dress at the wedding.
Ahad and Ashar came back and greeted everyone. While they sat too with us, Seema stood up and went away. Coming back, she passed a glass of water to Ahad but not to Ashar. If glass could break from such a hate look then the glass in Ahad's hand would have been shattered into pieces, I was burning with anger, how dare she do this...
People might think that I'm overreacting but, if I don't take care of my possession then who'll I blame if someone steals it?
"Give it to me bhai, I'm more tired than you," Ashar said snatching the glass from Ahad's hand and I sighed in relief, I'm not getting good vibes from her.
"Don't mind but I think Seema would have looked better with Ahad than this girl" Auntie said indicating me as "this girl", having enough of this mother-daughter drama, I stood and, seeing me standing up, my Auntie, mother-in-law, Ahad, and Ashar too stood up.
I calmly turned to Aunt and said "I mind Aunt, I hope you won't make this stupid comparison again, he is my husband and I won't let anyone bounding him with any other girl than me and I don't gossip just to fit in the conversation, I may excuse now" delivering my words authoritatively I gestured Ahad to lead me to my room and he did.
I heard someone clapping, "who's clapping?" I asked Ahad still, not turning around "your biggest cheerleader begum(wifey)" he smiled, and we walked to our room.
"Did I say a lot?" I asked Ahad entering the room, "nah, begum, you did right, standing up yourself is what you should have done! I'm proud of you" he said, peaking my head lightly while taking me in a bear hug.
My Auntie went away in the evening after having lunch with me, I miss her already...
My new family is sitting on the lawn with me, my mother-in-law sat beside me, while the men sat on the other side, we all were talking about different things when Ashar said "Where are you guys going for honeymoon" he wiggled his eyebrows when I hit him with a pillow "I mean vacations, Hayat?" he said, teasing us, this manner less man!
Ahad looked at me, and I looked at him, he gestured for me to speak my thoughts, I turned to Ammi and said "Can we all go together to Islamabad by road?" I felt four pairs of eyes on me.
"You sure?" I heard Ashar, I nodded my head, "I AM IN" Ashar excitedly said, standing up, and leaving the place already.
"Beta, you all children should go, we couple need our own together time, so we will be here waiting for you guys," Baba said patting my head standing up with Ammi on the side said, "Take a lot of pictures and enjoy."
I looked towards Ahad who was smiling looking at me, shaking his head he too stood up and forward his hand for me to hold, I held his hand and went to our room, " you okay with what I said?" I asked Ahad while entering the room.
"You wanted that?" I nod my head to his question.
"You did right, I'm not upset, and I won't be ever! I'll call my guys to join us on the trip too, is it okay with you my wife" he had started calling me begum, my wife, and what not since we got married, once I haven't heard my name from his mouth, he does flirt!
"Oh, why would I be? They should join us, but will I be alone? "I asked whisperingly.
"Why would you be alone? You have me now, mera bacha (my baby)" he whispered the last part near my ear, moving towards the bed, his nickname is just...
We are going on the trip by the end of February, 23, on Sunday we will leave for the trip, I'm pretty excited since it is my first time going with my own family... MY FAMILY!
