Humsafar (short stories)

Ulfat

"I I think I sh should go now"
Azeen stammered

"No Bhabhi you guys should go back into the room as it was just fifteen minutes. How can you have a child in just fifteen minutes"
Zain tried to make her understand

Azeen gasped with eyes wide open. She was red by now and was looking at the floor. She could hear her heartbeat. On the other hand, Fateh's eyes widened. He glared at Zain and shouted
"Are you out of your mind Zain? We were not doing anything like that. So keep your mouth shut. Stupid"

Zain got upset listening to this as he had already imagined their children. Ayan, Adil, Daniyal, Zahra, Alina, and Arfa at the same time said
"Ohh"

"It's okay Bhai I will teach you"
Ayan said to which Fateh glared at him

"I mean why would I teach you? He knows very well than me right Bhabhi"
Ayan asked nervously

Azeen settled her hijab in nervousness and started leaving by walking past Fateh whispering
"Astaghfirullah why would I know"

Fateh glared at them and screamed
"Let us go once I will teach you everything in detail I promise"

All of them gulped looking at him

During the whole function, Azeen could feel his gaze on her. She was blushing from time to time. Her cousins were teasing her due to which she wasn't looking at him

Everyone was having food. After everybody filled their plates and sat to eat Azeen got up from her chair and went to fill her plate as it was her habit. Azeen instead of filling her plate was looking here and there as if searching for someone. When she heard a whisper in her ear
"Right behind you"

She gasped and turned. She looked at everyone to see if anybody looking at them but they were busy eating food

"It's nothing like that I wasn't looking for you "
She quickly whispered and turned to have food

Fateh also started filling his plate. Azeen was just pouring Russian salad onto her plate. At every function, she used to have Salad only nothing else. Fateh looked at her from head to toe. She was very skinny but had curves in the right place. He picked up another plate and started filling it with rice and meat. He took the Salad plate from Azeen and made her hold the rice rice-filled plate

"Come on have this one. You can have salad but after finishing this. Look at yourself Azeen you need a proper diet. From now on you will have a proper meal three times a day understood"
Fateh ordered with arms folded on his chest. His aura was very dominating

"But"
She tried to say something which was cut off by Fateh in between

"No arguments. Your health is very important to me"
Fateh glared at her

Azeen stomped her feet and started walking towards her table. Fateh smiled at her acts. She had to eat that because the whole time Fateh was looking at her. Fateh looked at his father to talk. Azeen filled Inaya's plate with her rice while she was busy talking to Sana's mother. Azeen clapped her hands slowly as her plate was empty by now but she looked up to see Fateh glaring at her and nodding his head in disbelief. She bitter her lips in nervousness
.....................................................................

Fateh's family came to Azeen's house for a small engagement ceremony. All of them were engrossed in conversation and waiting for Azeen's arrival. Fateh and all of his cousins, and siblings were very modern but the old generation was not at all modern so they decided by talking to Azeen's parents that elders would make them wear rings. Fateh got offended but when he got to know that it was a decision of Azeen's family he got ready for it as he knew there were a lot of differences between him and Azeen and both had to compromise. So he was trying to show he was happy but it was a very odd thing for him as people in his circle were way too open with each other even before marriage and he lived abroad for 15 years so his thinking was opposite to Azeen and her family but still he kept quiet thinking every relationship needs compromises. Now he was waiting for Azeen's arrival. He was talking to Imran when he saw her entering the lounge wearing a black dress and looking like an innocent princess. Azeen saw him wearing a black suit and started blushing as Ayan winked at her whispering "Twinning". A small smile came on Fateh's lips which showed his dimples
