PART 8. NO MORE PLANS! PURE ROMANCE!
(WARNING: INTENSE SONG SEQUENCE AHEAD! ONLY FOR 16 YEARS AND ABOVE)
(The adult part would have a note at the start and the end so if you are below 16 you can skip the adult part but read rest of the story)
Aaliya smiled a little as she adjusted the pallu of her Saree. Once done, she looked at herself from head to toe in the mirror. Yes! She was looking perfect; just like a newly married bride. If only Zain would arrive! And maybe he might even be stunned a little by how gorgeous she looked. She blushed softly and then she sighed. Yes, she and Zain were getting close recently especially after that sweet dance they shared but was he falling in love with her? She did not know. After that dance, she and Zain had shared many secret looks and even soft smiles but other than that Aaliya had no proof that Zain was falling for her. Aaliya looked down sadly but then looked up and frowned at herself in the mirror. Aaliya bete! Aise sad hona nahi hai! Aaj raat ko Zain aur Fahad Bhai ke client ne jo party throw ki hai tu uspe focus karegi! Toh tu client ke farmhouse pe jaayegi aur poore family ke saath party ko enjoy karegi! Aur tere saare dard aaj raat ke liye side pe rakhegi! Samjhi! Nodding to herself, Aaliya turned around and walked out of the room.
Aaliya smiled as she got down the stairs with an overnight bag in her hand. It contained her and Zain's clothes for the night. The party was supposed to go on till 1 at night and Suraiya didn't want Zain, Fahad or Usmaan to drive after midnight especially with the roads at the outskirts of Mumbai being so rough and there being no lights on half of the roads. Hence, they all decided that once the party was over they would simply move to their own farmhouse few miles away and stay there for the night. Suraiya had enthusiastically added that they could do a picnic in the morning and come back by afternoon. Infact, Suraiya had even given all the servants leave as no one will be at home till the next afternoon.
"Aaliya beta! Kise dhoondh rahi ho?", Suraiya's words broke into Aaliya's thoughts and she realised that she was standing at the bottom of the stairs and subconsciously searching for Zain. She smiled at Suraiya uncomfortably and then looked away.
Nafisa giggled, "Samjha karo Mom! Shaadi ko kuch hafte hui dulhan kise dhoondhegi?",
Suraiya's eyes widened and she looked at Aaliya with amusement, "O ho! Toh Zain bete ko dhoondha jaa raha hai? Aajaayega! Fahad bete ka phone aaya tha! Dono ko aane mein thoda late hoga! Humein toh lagta hai ki ab tak toh dono Office se nikle honge! Haina Nafisa?"
Nafisa nodded and smiled at Aaliya but Aaliya ignored her. She continued to look down with her fingers fiddling the end of her Pallu. Just then Fahad entered the house and Nafisa called out his name with a smile. Aaliya looked up eagerly. Bhai aaye hain toh Zain bhi aaya hoga! She looked at the door eagerly wanting to see Zain's expression when he first time saw her. Will he be stunned? Will he notice how pretty she looked? Or will he ignore her? Or maybe, maybe he might even praise her! Aaliya felt her cheeks blush but her eyes refused to move from the main door. When few minutes ticked away and Zain did not come, her enquiring eyes turned towards Fahad. Suraiya verbalised Aaliya's question and Fahad replied, "Zain bhi na! Uff! Ek client ne call kiya ki dinner meeting karni hai! Aur Zain maan gaya!"
Suraiya frowned, "Lekin kya use pata nahi ki aaj party hai?"
Fahad scoffed, "Zain bhool gaya Mom!"
Suraiya slapped her forehead, Usmaan rolled his eyes while Nafisa shook her head. Aaliya's cheerful eyes turned downwards again in sadness.
Suraiya frowned, "Ek minute! Dinner Meeting? Matlab kya woh ghar late aayega?"
Fahad nodded, "Gyarah toh baj jaayega Mom!"
Suraiya huffed in worry, "Phir toh use keh do ki party mein na aaye! Raat ke gyarah baje uss raaste pe gaadi chalaana theek nahi! Nahi! Zain bete ko kehdo ki woh ghar par hi rahe!"
"Lekin Mom, hum sab toh kal dopahar ko aayenge! Uska naashta aur khaane ke kya? Kal shaam tak toh naukron ki chutti hai!", Nafisa muttered worriedly.
Usmaan sighed, "Woh baahar se kha lega! Waise bhi hotel mein khaane ki use aadat hogayi hai! Ek aur din baahar khaa lega!"
As Nafisa, Fahad, Usmaan and Suraiya were talking, Aaliya had by then walked to a nearby sofa and sat on it with sadness on her face. Zain was not coming to the party! He will not be there to dance with her in the party! He will not be there to enjoy the picnic with her! Forget about dance and picnic, she had dressed up so beautifully just for him and he is not even going to see her! Aaliya felt tears trickle down her eyes but she paid no heed to it.
Suraiya, Usmaan and Fahad were lost in their discussion and didn't notice Aaliya's tears but Nafisa did.
"Mom! Hum kya keh rahi hain?", Nafisa interrupted the other three, "Hum kyun na Aaliya ko yahin chod dein?"
Suraiya frowned, "Kya? Nahi Nahi! Yahaan rehke kya karegi woh! Wahaan party mein enjoy toh karengi! Yahaan toh bore ho jaayegi!"
Nafisa huffed and sat beside Suraiya and spoke in furious whisper, "Arre Mom! Pati ke baghair kya party enjoy karna! Samjha karo aap!"
Suraiya frowned and Fahad, who was listening to the conversation shamelessly sat down by her, "Mom! Arent you seeing? Ek khaali ghar! Naukar sab gaayab! Gharwaale baahar! Aur ghar ke andar newly wed couple akele! All alone! You get me Mom?"
Comprehension dawned in Suraiya's eyes and she looked at Fahad with wide eyes. Fahad nodded and when she looked at Nafisa she nodded too, "It will be our plan for Zain and Aaliya!" Suraiya blinked, "Lekin Aaliya ko kya kehke yahaan rokenge?"
Nafisa smirked, "Woh aap humpe chod deejiye!"
Nafisa spoke in loud voice, "Haan Mom! Aapka decision sahi hai! Aaliya ko yahin chod dete hain! Zain ko kal subah ka nashta aur lunch banaane ke liye koi toh chaahiye! Haan! Yeh theek hain!"
Aaliya looked up at her name's mention and wiped her eyes. Now she looked at Suraiya with wide eyes who with smile ordered her to stay behind. Aaliya felt hope well up in her heart. Zain will get to see her in the Saree after all! But then she pouted. By the time he would come, her make up would have faded, her hair style would have been disarrayed. Chalo chodo! Koi baat nahi! Uski car ki aawaaz sunte hi make up retouch kar lungi! With a grin, she agreed to Suraiya's order. Fahad heaved a sigh of relief. Chalo! Aaliya khush hai!
The evening passed away swiftly with Nafisa, Suraiya, Usmaan and Fahad leaving the house for the party and Aaliya looking around the house with sad eyes. She was alone in the house till Zain arrived. Ya Allah! Soon time for dinner came and Aaliya sat at the dining table eating all the while wondering what Zain must be eating at his dinner. After dinner she retired to her room but soon got bored. She sighed. Ab Zain ke aane tak kya karun? She looked around and her eyes fell on the music player. She grinned and switched it on. Songs started playing and she went to the window while listening to it. As she looked out of the window, she noticed the swings and suddenly had the urge to sit and swing in it. Zain ko aane ko gyaarah baj jaayenge! Tab tak kyun na main thode maze le lun! With a smile she turned to her music player. She cranked up the volume and let it blast loudly through the house. With a grin on her face, she walked swiftly out of her room, down the stairs and out of the back door to the swings. She sat on them and with excitement she pushed the ground and let the swings take her high up.
"Lekin Mom...", Zain trailed off as Suraiya ordered him not to drive late night to the farmhouse. Zain huffed as his dreams of spending quality time with his wife went up with a puff. Aur karo meetings! Zain! You idiot! Bahut shauk tha na yeh deal crack karne ka! Ab raho ghar mein akele while your wife is somewhere else! Can't one thing go right in my life? Zain sighed just as he said goodbye to his Mom and was about to cut the call. Just then, Suraiya stopped him from keeping the phone because she wanted to let him know something. Zain frowned. There was a tinge of excitement in his mom's voice like she had played some prank. Mom! What are you upto at the party? But before he could enquire Suraiya announced that she left a surprise for him at the house and cut the call! Zain blinked in confusion. Yeh kya tha? With the question still lurking around his head, he turned into the street leading to his house.
As Zain parked the car, he sighed sadly. Yeh kaisi life hai humaari Aaliya? Main tadap raha hun tumhaare saath waqt bitaane ke liye, lekin lagta hai waqt ko yeh manzoor nahi! Kaash Aaliya main tumhaare saath hota iss waqt! Party bhi enjoy karta aur yeh raat yahaan iss ghar mein akele toh nahi bitaata! As he neared the house, he frowned. Yeh music ki kahaan se aawaaz aa rahi hai! He knocked on the door before remembering that all servants were given leave. He pulled out his keys and opened the door only to be surprised. Yeh music itna loud! Kaun ghar pe itna loud music chala raha hai? Especially jab ghar pe koi hai hi nahi! He continued to walk into the house and the song got louder. It was some new song that Zain didn't recognise.
Ata Pata Rahe Na Kisi Ka
Yehi Kahe Yeh Pal Zindagi Ka
Ki Khudgarz Si Khwahish Liye
Be-Saans Hi Hum Tum Jiye
Hai Gulaabi Gulaabi Samaa
Suraj Dooba Hai Yaaron
Do Ghut Nashe Ke Maaro
Raste Bhula Do Saare Gharbaar Ke
Suraj Dooba Hai Yaaron
Do Ghut Nashe Ke Maaro
Gham Tum Bhula Do Saare Sansaar Ke
As Zain stood in the middle of the living room, he was surprised to realise that the music was actually coming from the upper rooms. Wahaan hai kaun? Out of curiosity he stumbled upstairs.
Matlabi
Ho Ja Zara Matlabi
Duniya Ki Sunta Hai Kyun
Khud Ki Bhi Sunle Kabhi
Yeh aawaaz aa kahaan se rahi hai? Aur ghar mein hai kaun? Ghar mein koi chor toh nahi ghus aaya? Zain continued to climb the stairs.
Chale Nahi Ude AasZain Pe Abhi...
Pata Na Ho Hai Jaana Kahaan Pe Abhi...
Zain reached the first floor landing and looked around with hands on his hips. Left side or right side? Kahaan se aa rahi hai aawaaz?
Chale Nahi Ude AasZain Pe
Pata Na Ho Hai Jaana Kahaan Pe
Ki Be-Manzilein Ho Sab Raaste
Duniya Se Ho Zara Faasle
Kuch Khud Se Bhi Ho Dooriyaan
Zain closed his eyes and tried to focus on the song. Suddenly he popped open his eyes. Unbelievable! It was coming from the direction of his room. That's when he remembered the music stereo he bought for Aaliya before their marriage. Does that mean...? He grinned widely. Ab pata chala Mom ka gift kya hai! Aaliya ghar par hai! He sprinted towards his room eagerly.
Sooraj Dooba Hai Yaaron
Do Ghut Nashe Ke Maaro
Raste Bhula Do Saare Gharbaar Ke
Sooraj Dooba Hai Yaaron
Do Ghut Nashe Ke Maaro
Gham Tum Bulaa Do Saare Sansaar Ke
Zain flung the door open with a grin on his face. But his grin dimmed and then vanished. There was nobody in the room! Only the stereo played the song to an empty room.
Ask Me For Anything
I Can Give you Everything
The song continued to play but Zain tuned it out as he walked to the bed and sunk into it. He grasped his head in his hands as disappointment spread through him. Aaliya was not here! He was really alone! The stereo must have been left on or something. He continued to sit there for few seconds. Just then the song ended and the next one was about to start. He got up to stop the stereo from playing when his eyes fell on something that made his heart stop for few seconds and then start beating fast. A word fell from his lips, "Aaliya!"
Aaliya sighed as she swayed on the swing wishing badly that Zain would come home soon. Aur kitni der jhoola jhoolun? Just then two things happened. First the song ended and the new song started playing. And other thing was that it started raining. A wide grin spread on Aaliya's lips. Baarish! She sprang up from her seat and ran towards the middle of the lawn. She spread her hands, lifted her head up and spun around in the rain.
Mujhse Hi Aaj Mujhko Milade
Dekhoon Aadaton Mein Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Har Saans Se Pooch Ke Bataa De
Inke Faaslon Mein Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Zain stared at the scene in front of him. Was Aaliya really here? Or was it his imagination?
Mujhse Hi Aaj Mujhko Milade
Dekhoon Aadaton Mein Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Har Saans Se Pooch Ke Bataa De
Inke Faaslon Mein Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Suraiya's words of surprise flashed through his brain and he realised. It is her! Aaliya is Mom's surprise! Meri Aaliya yahin hai! Mere paas!
Main Aas Paas Tere
Aur Mere Paas
Zain turned around and ran out of the room.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
He turned a sharp left and ran towards the stairs.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Zain ran down the stairs. His legs stumbled and he almost fell but he didn't care. He simply corrected his steps and continued to run down.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Zain turned towards the backdoor and ran out of it.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Zain stumbled to a stop the moment he reached the lawn and simply stared at his wife swaying in the rain. The music continued and Zain continued to stare.
Meanwhile Aaliya stopped swaying as her mind went to the last time she danced in the rain like this. She felt sadness run through her as she remembered the almost kiss. It reminded her of the sorry state of her marriage and her enthusiasm to dance in the rain vanished. With a sigh, she walked towards the tree at the side of the lawn and leaned her back on it. She closed her eyes not noticing her husband standing just few feet away from her and looking at her.
Daudte Hain Khwaab Jinpe
Raasta Woh Tu Lage
Neend Se Jo Aankh Ka Hai
Waasta Woh Tu Lage
Zain finally took in her get up. Her Saree clad figure stole his breath. Her dripping hair, the droplets on her cheek, her red lips, the Saree clinging to her curves enticed him and he slowly walked towards her.
Tu Badalta Waqt Koi
Khushnama Sa Pal Mera
Tu Woh Lamha Jo Na Thehre
Aane Waala Kal Mera
Zain's mind flashed to the last time they were in the rain. He had almost kissed her.
Main Aas Paas Tere
Aur Mere Paas
The moment, the song, the rain made Zain forget himself.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
He grabbed Aaliya's arm slowly.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Aaliya's eyes opened in shock and her eyes widened when she saw her husband standing in front of her.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Aaliya felt her heart skip a beat at the expression on his face. His eyes were filled with emotions she couldn't fathom. He was staring at her with such an intensity that she could not look away from him.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Zain slowly leaned towards Aaliya. Her breath hitched as she realised what was happening. She closed her eyes out of nervousness. For a few seconds, there was no movement and Aaliya almost believed that she had imagined Zain near her. She was about to open her eyes when his lips finally touched hers. A bliss spread through her and she was unable to stop herself from grabbing his shirt up front. His hands moved to her waist and she felt shiver go through her as his fingers grazed her bare skin. When air became an issue he pulled away. They breathed harshly and for few seconds there was silence. And then Aaliya broke the silence, "Zain! I love you!"
In Labon Pe Jo Hansi Hai
Inki Tu Hi Hai Wajah
Zain's eyes opened in shock and he stared at Aaliya in wonder.
Bin Tere Main Kuch Nahi Hun
Mera Hona Bewajah
Aaliya felt a relief flood through her now that she had blurted out her feelings to Zain.
Dhoop Teri Na Pade Toh
Dhundhla Sa Main Lagun
She didn't care whether Zain loved her or not. All she wanted was for him to know how she felt.
Aake Saansein De Mujhe Tu
Taaki Zinda Main Rahun
Zain couldn't believe it. He did it. He made her fall for him again. He grinned eagerly and leaned down to kiss her again.
Main Aas Paas Tere
Aur Mere Paas
Aaliya's eyes widened as she realised what Zain was about to do. But a sudden shyness swept over her and pushing him away, she ran off right towards the pool.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
Zain couldn't resist smirking as he followed her. He made her fall for him! He did it!
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
She reached the path to the pool and squeaked when she saw Zain following her with a predatory look on his face.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
She reached the pool and hide behind one of the trees.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
He followed her and was surprised. She was nowhere to be seen.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
He frowned. Where did she vanish?
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
He walked ahead and started to search for her, looking behind the trees.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
His eyes lit up as his eyes fell upon a hand on the trees. She must be hiding behind it.
Tu Hai Ki Nahi
He grabbed her hand and pulled her in front of him just as the song ended.
He walked towards her and she started to walk back. Her back slammed into the tree and her eyes widened when he caged her by placing his hands on each side of her. He leaned forward and she gulped, "Chodo! Koi dekhlega!", she whispered. Zain looked at her mischievously, "Koi ghar par ho tab dekhega na?"
Aaliya's eyes widened and she grabbed her pallu tightly, "Koi naukar aa jaayega!"
"Bhool gayi, naukaron ko chutti de rakhi hai!", Zain smirked. Aaliya squeaked and Zain let out a chuckle, "We are alone Aaliya! Aur aaj toh tumhein galti se bhi nahi chodunga!" Aaliya felt her shyness overwhelm her and she leaned ahead and hid her face in his shirt with her hair shielding her face like a curtain.
Boond Boond Karke Mujh Mein Girna Tera
He pushed her hair away from her face.
Aur Mujh Mein Mujhse Zyaada Hona Tera
He cupped her face with his hands and pulled her away from her hiding.
Boond Boond Karke Mujh Mein Girna Tera
She kept her eyes down still overwhelmed with shyness.
Aur Mujh Mein Mujhse Zyaada Hona Tera
He tugged her face up and leaned down to kiss her.
Bheega Bheega Sa Mujhko Tan Tera Lage
She pushed him away and turned to run away but stumbled.
Aaja Tujhko Pee Loon Mann Mera Kahe
He grabbed her hand to stable her but the momentum made him loose his balance too. Both fell in the pool.
Main Na Bacha Mujh Mein Thoda Sa Bhi
Dekh Tu Na Bacha Tujh Mein Bhi
Zain surged out of the pool and pushed his hair back.
Jalne Laga Garm Saanson Se Main
Tu Pighalne Laga Mujh Mein Hi
He looked in front of him just as Aaliya surged out of the pool. Zain was unable to look away from her. He neared her and grabbed her by her waist. Her breath hitched at his move. He pushed her hair away from her shoulder and pressed a kiss on it. She shuddered in his arms and gripped his shoulder tight. He pulled away and his hands wandered from her hips to her back. She shivered at his touch but did not move away from him.
Qatra Qatra Main Jalun
Sharm Se Tere Milun
Jism Tera Moum Ka Pighla Dun
He leaned to kiss her but she, in sudden impishness, splashed water on his face.
Karwatein Bhi Tang Ho
Raat Bhar Tu Sang Ho
Tere Har Ek Ang Ko Sulga Dun
He closed his eyes for a second and when he opened it, Aaliya had vanished.
Bheega Bheega Sa Mujhko Tan Tera Lage
He looked around in worry. Where did she go?
Aaja Tujhko Pee Loon Mann Mera Kahe
Suddenly, he felt a presence behind him. Before he could turn, Aaliya's hands snuck under his arms and hugged him from behind.
(Warning: Intense scene ahead)
Main Na Bacha Mujh Mein Thoda Sa Bhi
Dekh Tu Na Bacha Tujh Mein Bhi
He closed his eyes revelling in the moment. But he was surprised when her hands started to unbutton his shirt.
Jalne Laga Garm Saanson Se Main
Tu Pighalne Laga Mujh Mein Hi
Her one hand unbuttoned his shirt while the other hand snuck under his shirt. He felt thrilled at her bold move. In one swift move, she pulled his shirt off. He turned around and was taken aback by the desire in her eyes. She pressed a kiss to his chest. Zain took in sharp breath. Aaliya placed another kiss and Zain was unable to control himself. He grabbed her by her hair and tugged her up. He roughly pressed his lips to hers.
(Warning: Intense scene ended)
Hone De Kuch Galtiyaan
Rengti Yeh Ungliyaan
Jism Ke Tu Darmiyaan Thehra De
He poured his desperation into the kiss trying to let her know how much he wanted it.
Lamha Koi Garm Tu
Ya Ubalti Barf Tu
Mujhpe Hoja Kharch Tu Yun Aake
Her hands wound into his hair and she pulled him closer.
Bheega Bheega Sa Mujhko Tan Tera Lage
He pulled away and stared at her.
Aaja Tujhko Pee Loon Mann Mera Kahe
Her lips all red, her eyes wide and her pallu slipping away revealing her curves. He was unable to stay away from her anymore.
Main Na Bacha Mujh Mein Thoda Sa Bhi
Dekh Tu Na Bacha Tujh Mein Bhi
He stepped ahead and picked her up bridal style.
Jalne Laga Garm Saanson Se Main
Tu Pighalne Laga Mujh Mein Hi
He walked out of the pool and towards their room. Aaliya looked at him with anticipation, longing, love and apprehension, all mingled in her eyes. He took her into their room and that night the two lovers became one.

PART 9. ZAIN FINALLY SAYS I LOVE YOU
Zain drove towards home with a smile on his face. Only 2 months left! 2 months before our first wedding anniversary comes up! Zain sighed and remembered their marriage. 10 months had passed since the day he got married. So many things had changed since then. His love life went through many up and downs. First Aaliya had demanded divorce at the first night. Then he had decided to fight for his love. So many plans made to woo his wife! And then he had left her alone for few weeks only to come back to a wife who had missed him. And then the night came when she had confessed her love for him. That was also the night they had consummated their marriage. As Zain thought of those moments, a certain regret popped up in his brain. Don't take him wrong! He didn't regret his married life. What he regretted was that he had yet to tell his wife that he loved her.
Yup! You read it right! Zain Usman Abdullah had yet to tell his wife the three magical words. They had made love, been together for so many months and Zain Usman Abdullah had yet to say those words! But that doesn't mean he never showed it through his actions. Everyone who saw Zain and Aaliya together could tell that Zain was madly in love with his wife. He was highly possessive and overprotective of her, always attached to her hip and whenever away from her, his eyes always searched for her. Yes, the world knew that Zain loved Aaliya like crazy. But did Aaliya know? Zain was not sure! He knew he showed it through his actions but sometimes actions weren't enough, Zain felt. But what was Zain supposed to do? He just didn't get the right moment to confess.
Zain mused that he could have confessed it on the night Aaliya confessed too. But at that time they were lost in the moment and Zain never had the time to remember that he had yet to say I Love You' back. Next day he remembered the fact but he never could find the right moment to say it. Before Aaliya and Zain had even got up, his family had arrived back home. The rain fall on the night before had turned the grounds around their farmhouse into muddy areas and going out to picnic there was not feasible. So the whole family was back before Zain could even wake up his sweet wife with a kiss and an I Love You'. And since then Zain had yet to find a private moment to confess his feelings. It is not that there was no private moment for him and his wife. Its just that any private moment he got, the family barged in before he could even kiss his wife, forget expressing his love. And in nights, he was too lost in her to remember that he had yet to say certain words.
Zain sighed as he drove towards home. How stupid does it sound? He married his wife 10 months back and its been months since they got together but Zain Usman Abdullah had yet to express his feelings to his wife. Pathetic! Fun fact was that Zain was not the only one who thought the whole situation was pathetic. Aaliya thought the same.
Aaliya sighed as she folded the clothes. She had gotten a news recently that should have made her happy but all it seemed to do is make her sad. Two days back, Aaliya had fainted in kitchen and Nafisa and Suraiya had taken her to the Doctor, both worried for her. When the Doctor expressed that Aaliya might be pregnant and to get the requisite tests done to confirm the news, Nafisa and Suraiya had decided that they would keep this news from the menfolk of the family till everything was confirmed. Nafisa had two false pregnancy symptoms and Suraiya didn't want Zain to face the same disappointment that Fahad faced the two times. So Aaliya had to keep the possibility of being pregnant from Zain till everything was confirmed. But today it will be out. Suraiya had gotten the call in the noon that Aaliya was pregnant and now Suraiya and Nafisa sat in the main hall eagerly waiting for Zain to arrive so that they could tell him right away.
Aaliya had decided to not stay in the main hall. Suraiya had wanted her to deliver this news to Zain but Aaliya had refused. Nafisa commented that Aaliya must be feeling shy and Aaliya didn't correct her. So when the time for Zain's arrival from office came, Aaliya snuck into her room under the pretence of folding dried clothes. The reason Aaliya had refused to stay in the hall was that she was scared of Zain's reaction. What if he was not happy with their baby's arrival? They hadn't discussed babies. Forget babies, Aaliya, huffed, Zain ne toh mujhe I Love You bhi nahi kahaa! Aaliya heaved a sigh and focused on the clothes. As she folded the clothes, she felt sadness overwhelm her. Aaliya had never felt this uncertain as she felt today. Her heart was filled with fear for her future. Somedays, Aaliya felt Zain loved her; especially when he showed it through his actions like bringing her flowers or trying to keep her safe by sticking to her side in parties. But the three magical words were never said by him! And till he said that, Aaliya knew the confusion and uncertainty hanging over her head would never go away. Zain if you love me, let me know! Khatam kardo yeh confusion aur mera yeh darr! Please Zain! She prayed as she did everyday. What Aaliya didn't know was that today her wish was going to come true!
"Kya?", Zain looked at his family in shock. Suraiya nodded eagerly while Nafisa looked excited. Slowly a grin spread on Zain's lips. His wife was pregnant! They were going to have a baby! He was going to be a dad and Aaliya was going to be a mom! He hugged his Mom and then Nafisa in excitement. Then he looked around with happiness, "Aaliya kahan hai?" Suraiya chuckled, "Use sharam aa rahi hai isliye woh upar chupi hui hai! Tum dono ke kamre mein! Jaao! Usse mil lo!" Zain didn't need to be told twice. He took off from there in a run, climbed the stairs and stumbled into his room. There his wife stood, in front of the window looking out of it, her whole body tense. He took in a deep breath as he stepped forward. He slowly walked towards her. She straightened up and he realised that she had sensed his arrival. He walked towards her gently. The excitement left his body and bliss took its place. He felt content with his life. He had successful business, a beautiful wife who loved him and now he was going to have a family of his own too. What else did he want in life! He reached Aaliya and enclosed her in his arms from behind.
When Zain hugged her, Aaliya relaxed. If he hugged her that means he was ok with the baby. She closed her eyes and leaned on him. Her body sagged in his arms and feeling his strong arms engulf her gave her a sense of peace.
Zain felt his wife relax totally in his arms and suddenly the moment seemed perfect for expressing his feelings. He slowly leaned down and whispered, "I Love You Aaliya!"
Aaliya's eyes snapped open. And then a grin spread on her lips. She closed her eyes again as the weight of uncertainty and fear lifted from her shoulders. Suddenly, the restriction she felt due to her confusion and fear was broken and she felt like a free bird.
Zain smiled as Aaliya snuggled into his arms. Yes! Life was perfect!
Err... That sounded a bit less excited, eh? But what to do? I have read enough stories where the guy goes gaga over his wife being pregnant and lifts her up and dances around etc. that I got bored of them. So gave them something simple. And with this ends the story. Next update we have the epilogue! Keep an eye open for that. After all, it is the link to the sequel Band Baaja and Zain.
Thank you, take care and have fun,
Kalpana
