"You want to get changed?" Hamza asked.

"No, I was thinking that I could stay in this very comfortable dress all night." I smiled, teasingly.

"Cool, but make sure you keep the jewellery on as well, yeah? To ensure maximum comfort." He chuckled as lay on the bed beside me, propped up on his elbow. He sat up. "Actually, before you get changed, I should give you the moun-dikhai that I had selected for you." He reached into the bedside drawer and pulled out a small gift wrapped in a silver wrapping paper. "For you, Mrs Hamza." 

I took the box for him. "This time I'll open it and see it myself, rather than ask you what it is." 

He placed his hand on mine and took the gift from me and unwrapped it, before handing me the box, which itself was beautiful. 

As I opened the box, my eyeswidened. It was a beautiful silver charm bracelet, with blue topaz stones ineach individual charm. One charm was the letter 'H', another was a teddy bear,a motorcycle and a plane- special and meaningful parts of our life together. 

"I know you love your charm bracelet, and this is not a replacement. This is just one from me, based on the Tale of Hania and Hamza." 

"It's beautiful." I whispered.

"I'm going to cheesify this scene and say 'not more than you'." He grabbed my wrist and began to rub his thumb over my skin, sending tingles up my arm.

I stared at him and then reached up to place my hand on his cheek. And then, for some reason, I ran my fingers down from his forehead, over his nose and onto his lips. My gaze stopped on that gorgeous mouth of his as well, and all I wanted was to feel his mouth, kissing me all over. Returning my gaze to his chocolate brown eyes, I decided to take the first step.

"Sometimes, it's just that initial move that's the hardest, but once you take that first step, you'll get comfortable automatically." Mama's advice was repeating in my mind.

I reached up and started pulling out the pins that were holding my dupatta in place, barely even blinking as I stared at my husband. A few seconds later, the dupatta slid off my head, falling onto the bed behind me. He reached up and pulled off my maang tika gently, the jewellery adorning my forehead. He then sat up facing me, placing both his hands on my cheeks. Leaning forward, he kissed the spot where the tika had been resting just moments ago.

My breathing increased rapidly, and simultaneously, so did my heartbeat. I guess shy Hani had just woken up and had realised what was about to happen between me and Hamza.

I felt him pull at my earring and I closed my eyes, breathing in the scent of his cologne as he practically embraced me while trying to remove the jewellery from my ears.

I winced a little as he took off my second earring.

"Sorry. Did I hurt you?" 

I shook my head, too overwhelmed by desire to say a word.
