Chapter No 12

"Aapi please keep it low. He will not like it" Today Umer was coming to take her back after a week. Ujala was feeling excited, nervous and anxious at the same time. Maha was doing her makeup because she thought that Ujala keeps herself very simple

"Husband likes a wife who keeps herself well dressed and presentable. Not like you, by just wearing a plain suit you think you are ready" Maha referred to her earlier choice of dress which was a simple pink kurta pajama with just a lace at the borders of dupatta and now she was wearing a heavily embroidered red color dress

"But Aapi I am looking like a clown now … and this lipstick is so red … and eyeshades … Oh God .. I am going to wash my face" Ujala was seriously going to act upon it when Rizwana's timely intrusion stopped her and Maha thanked God

"Arre Masha-Allah my daughter is looking so beautiful" Rizwana praised her while Maha raised her eyebrows and glared her in a 'see I told you' look and she looked at Rizwana complainingly

"You too Mama, Unhain acha nahi lage ga (He will not like it). I am telling you"

"What's the big deal in it? We'll ask Umer when he'll come. Right Maha?" Rizwana sorted the matter but Ujala was quick to shook her head

"No .. No Mama … please don't ask him" both Rizwana and Maha chuckled as she bit her lips embarrassed

Umer expected Ujala to be at her Mamu's place so he went there straightly but he got surprised when Zaman Ali Khan told him that she very next day went to their house. He has to cover up then that he forgot and thought to meet them also

He felt himself a fool for not even getting information by calling her but he talked to Rizwana daily she also didn't mention anything. In all these thoughts he had reached his home. From the passenger seat he picked the gajras that he got for her but now he was adamant if he should take it or not

"Umer" only then Usama came to the porch. He was also back from the office

"Hey Usama how are you?" coming out of the car he greeted him warmly hugging him. Before Usama could get a chance to reply, Umer get stiff at his place hearing the man descended from the car

"How are you Umer?" Murtaza Zaidi extended his hand which he left after shaking hands formally and with just a "Hmm" as the answer

Usama asked both of them to get inside and they did silently followed

There he was, in the hall sitting with his family. He was smiling over something Rizwana said. Her heart was thumping so loud that she could literally hear it. She inhaled to calm herself and walked to the hall

"Ass-Assalam O Alaikum" she addressed, keeping the tray on the table. Umer felt himself alive seeing her after so many days. His gaze was now fixed to her, her hands pouring tea in the cup had his attention once again

"Wa Alaikum uss Salam" it took all of his force to tore his gaze away from her and concentrating again on what Rizwana was saying

After serving tea to everyone, she looked around a place to sit and the only vacant seat was with Umer. Though hesitantly, she sat beside him but was dejected when she felt him shifting to the far corner

"What is this?" Rizwana picked the packet from the side table and looked inside. Umer chose to kept quiet

"Gajras (flower bracelet), kis ke liye (for whom)?" Rizwana remarked mischievously while he stealthily looked over her through the corner of his eyes. She was again rubbing the palms of her both hands to each other
