Humsafar (short stories)

Ishq

Zaviyaar was roaming angrily in the room while Inan was looking at him with fear in her eyes

"I warned you Inan to not tell anyone"
He said gritting his teeth

"It was just a slip of the tongue"
She said making an innocent face

"Sure it was"
He said rolling his eyes

"I got so embarrassed now they will never stop teasing me that was our secret why did you do that Inan"
He said sitting on the bed beside Inan and holding his head in both hands. Inan moved a little bit aside from Zaviyaar

"Okay, I am sorry"
She said holding her ears

"It's okay but don't do this again please"
He said with a smile and was about to kiss her forehead but she moved back he got embarrassed and asked

"May I?"
She took a deep breath and nodded meekly

Zaviyaar held her shoulders and kissed her forehead. Both closed their eyes. They were feeling a different kind of peace that they never felt before. Zaviyaar kissed Zaina on the forehead many times but never felt the peace that he was feeling with Inan. Remembering Zaina something broke inside him which he was trying to heal with Inan's presence. He opened his eyes and moved away from her to see her keeping her gaze low while blushing. He smiled automatically and took out his phone. Inan's trance broke with the sound of the click. She looked up immediately to see him clicking her picture. She covered her face with her hands saying

"Zaviyaar please stop it! I am looking like a mess"

"Shut up you're looking very beautiful with that blush over your face come on Inan let's take a picture"
He said pulling her close while she was resisting

"Please no Zaviyaar I am feeling shy"
She said hiding her face in both hands and making him laugh loudly

"Haha you're so cute Inan, please I wanna take pictures with you. Can't you do that for me?"
He asked her making an innocent face

"But you already took a lot of pictures with your ex-girlfriends still you're not satisfied"
She said mischievously

"Very funny you know everybody's right that one should never share anything with his wife cause she will taunt him for that specific thing his whole life"
He said rolling his eyes

She got close to him keeping her arm on his shoulder and whispering in his ears making a current run through his body

"Sure I will"
She said winking at him and he furrowed his eyebrows hearing her because he was expecting something romantic. She got away from him and started laughing loudly

"You have done a Ph.D. in spoiling romance"
He said frowning and she shivered to hear the word romance

Suddenly he held her hands in his hands saying lovingly
"Inan you're much more important than them. I will not lie that they didn't mean anything to me but I never loved them except one still she can never take your place you are my wife. Only you have the right to this title. You're the queen of my life. I belong to you. I am yours. Is that not enough?"
He asked raising his eyebrows

She got hurt when he told her that he loved Zaina but his next words made her feel butterflies in her stomach. She blushed and nodded yes

"So should we"
He asked her

"Yes"
She whispered to which he giggled and started taking pictures with her

He was repeating the photo shoot that he did with co-actresses but he never got too close to them. He never kissed any actress not even on the forehead but obviously, he was an actor so he knew all the poses because they were offered to him but he rejected them
