Humsafar (short stories)

Ulfat

Azeen had been smirking since morning. She saw Fateh entering the living room where all of the family was sitting. Fateh said salam to everyone and sat down beside her. Azeen smirked at got up to take water from the maid and passed it to Fateh. For a few minutes, she put her hand on her waist in which she was wearing metal bangles of the same color as her dress

Fateh hid his smile seeing her gesture. He pretended to be not affected by it

"Azeen why are you standing beta?"
Amina asked her

Azeen got embarrassed and sat beside him scoffing. She was looking at Fateh from time to time but he pretended to be normal and ignored her gaze. Zahra held her bangles-clad wrist and asked while admiring the bangles
"Wow, Bhabhi from where did you get these bangles? They are the same color as your dress"

"Do you like these bangles"
Azeen asked planning something evil in her head

"Yes, I like simple things only"
Zahra told her

"You can keep them"
Azeen told her trying hard not to laugh

Fateh turned his head towards her with a shocked and angry expression. Azeen ignored him royally

"No Bhabhi I was just asking randomly. There's no need for this"
Zahra smiled nervously

"No no please keep them it will suit you more"
She said trying to take off the bangles but before she could do it she heard Fateh's angry voice

"Azeen come to the room"
Fateh glared at her

"I will come after giving these bangles to Zahra"
She smiled showing all her teeth

Fateh frowned and held her wrist in his hand took her into the room. He pinned her to the wall by keeping arms on the both sides

"What the hell was you doing?"
Fateh screamed

"N nothing I just don't know where these bangles come from so thought to gift it to Zahra"
Azeen stammered but continued to look into his eyes

"Okay I admit"
Fateh gritted his teeth

"Admit what Mr. Fateh Murad Khan?"
Azeen teased him trying to control her chuckle

"I admit that I gifted them to you"
Fateh numbered making cute face

Azeen was going aww seeing his face. She stood on her toes and placed her arms around his neck asking
"Then why were you hiding it before"

"Because I thought I looked stupid trying to help somebody or make them happy and you told me not to help anybody ever again so I was a little nervous if I would be able to make you happy or not"
Fateh pulled her up by holding her waist and now she was in the air. Azeen started moving her toes back and forth in the air. She kissed his cheeks making him smile

"I am more than happy. I think now you're learning to make people happy so you should do a little bit of a flavor but please not like previous ones"
Azeen giggled at the last making him giggle as well

"Assalamalikum n morning everyone"
Fateh greeted everybody and sat beside his Dada jaan winking at his Dadi who started blushing in no time. Aslam Khan glared at him. Everyone was happy as he added salam in his morning greeting and the credit went to Azeen this thing shocked youngsters to the core but now it has become their routine as well

Azeen greeted everyone and back-hugged Dada Jaan and now Fateh was glaring at him for stealing his wife. Yes, Aslam Khan got Azeen on his side in the first week of their marriage only. Although he had a very dominant personality but Azeen got attached to him in no time
