Updatee
How quickly days had passed in Ramdhan they hardly realized.. It had such different charm than any other month.. The regularity in the routine was so prominent change..
Waking up at near two or two thirty.. Offering four to eight thajud Rakats.. She used to prepare for sehri while he used to help her around by laying down table some day or cutting vegs.. The conversation that usually used to take place was about iftari menu ..or deciding what to get for the person who had invited them for iftari...
Eating together sharing with each other..
They usually used to have half an hour left for fajar prayer which they used to spent reading a chapter of Quran..
Offering Fajar prayer and reciting Surah Ya seen as recommended to read after fajar prayer.. Ashar used to take a nap before he had to go to office..where khirad used to spend time in zikar e Allah till Ishraq time..after offering her prayer she used to wake him up to get ready for office or even sometimes she used to make him offer ishraq too if he isn't sleepy or tired much...
Helping him out in getting ready.. N staying awake till he leaves was her habit..even when he used to ask her to take sleep as being long days..time to sleep in night had reduced.
Hareem had vacations so she didn't have to attend school..despite hareem s request ashar n khirad couldn't allow her to fast in such hot and long days.. If she had been obliged to fast n offer namaz as it gets obligatory after certain age..they would have never stopped her..but she was too young still..but on Fridays they let her to encourage her spirit..watching their kid practicing good and religious manners was such immense pleasure..
Near nine ten o clock she had to wake up as different works of home needed to be done in supervision.. In that time she used to offer Chassht Prayer too before the Mukrooh Time of the day..
As hareem used to wake up.. Making up having her breakfast..making her do her summer vacations..or playing with her sometimes..
In all that.. Time used to crawl till one o clock.. Informing her about Zahur Prayer.. While she used to be busy in prayer still. ..ashar used to come back.. And change .. Reading surah Mulk as recommended to recite before sleeping any time..till Ashar n hareem used to get along spending some time..she hardly used to be able to stay awake as being much tired of all the work...
It used to take more time for ashar n hareem to sleep..and thus waking them up for Asar used to be so tough for Khirad..but she never let them skip the Prayer..
From asar to magrib .. As she used to be busy in iftari.. Ashar used to try memorizing daily supplications to hareem sometime or they both used to get busy in watering their plants..
Before half an hour than magrib.. khirad used to manage iftari for at least one person around in colony or Masjid..
Magrib call used to be a relief moment not only because they had spent long hot day without having any food or drink.. But also the feeling of being able to fast one more day for Allah..was such a pleasure..to abstain from every evil.. Thinking they managed to be away from back biting lying or hurting any person..instead tried to do good deeds..
It was the practice for rest of year to be away from all evil..
Month was a reminder that be humble.. Be kind.. Be fear full ...remind how temporary this life is.. And permanent life is waiting for them..they need to prepare for that while being indulged in world's brightness which was nothing than just an illusion in reality..
From magrib to isha it was just fraction of time to clean the mess in kitchen..and she had just time to change mostly before isha call used to echo in atmosphere..
Luckily the masjid in their society had arrangement of Travehi for women separately.. It had been such relief for khirad..as after whole busy day ..it used to be hard to offer travehi on her own..
Going to nearby praying place..walking along him..holding his hand..had give them the feeling of togetherness..little teasing all the way..
After coming back to home... She hardly used to be awake as she was first one to sleep rather than hareem..
That night he was working late and next day it was weekend so he didn't bother much.. As being exhausted he rubbed his forehead ..and looked at his wife..who was sleeping peacefully which pinched him.. Urged him to tease her..and considering he will be at home tomorrow and could help her around..he put away the laptop.. And laid down watching her sleeping.. His mind changed as he just wanted to see that peace on her face..he entangled his fingers in her fingers n held her palm.. And kissed it.. Whispering. ...
"I love you Khirad.."
His fingers were playing with her hairs..while he started at her.. And then kissed her fore head..
He wasn't expecting her to wake up but as saw her opening eyes with difficulty.. He felt guilty.. N pulling her in his arms.. He mumbled..
"Sorry.."
She smiled while resting head on his chest and wrapping arms around him...
"soey nahn ap?"
"nend nai aye..."
She looked at him with concern..breaking hug..
"kia huwa ? Sar main dard hai? Kha tha apko main kar don gi apki salwar suit iron lakin ap ko tou kudh karna tha na.."
Ashar sighed as looked at his concerned wife...
"aik din kaprey press karny sy Mrs.Ashar Hussain kuch nahn hota.."
He took her palms in his..
"kuch lein gey?"
"han"
"kiya chaye laon?"
"nahn"
"phir?"
"tm chahye ho.."
Khirad sighed at her romantic husband... And placed palm on his cheek..
"ap key pass hi tou hon.."
He smiled as placed arm around her waist..and pulled her near..he Nuzzled in her hairs making her skip her heart beat..
"janta hon..."
She blushed as he kissed her hairs..and as his lips touched her earlobe... Feeling shy...she turned at the other side...he smiled at his wife's shyness..as his arm around waist pushed her back against his chest...she closed eyes..as his fingers moved her hairs...leaving marks on her shoulder..she clutched his hand as he slid away her sleeves while burying his face in her collar bone..
...
"Ashar jagieye.. Fajar ka time nikla ja raha hai.."
She called out him as continued her prayer...
Ashar got up n looked at time.. Realized they missed sehri..he bit his lips knowing he had kept her awake in night n they dozed off claiming themselves to wake up in a while.. And now fajar time was almost finishing..
He got up to take a shower n then perform prayer..
When he got free..he saw khirad laying on bed ..he laid down beside her.. And rested his hand on her .. She opened eyes.. And got that he would wish to get forgiveness.. She nodded easing him out it is fine.. He smiled as held her palm.. And she smiled back.. As both slept once again..
...
Knowing she hadn't eat anything he asked her to don't burden herself.. And helped her in all household works.. So that it wouldn't be difficult in that scorching heat..
...
The last ten days.. They got more busy to enjoy the most blessed days n finding one blessed night in Odd number of nights. Khirad was so eagerly wanted to perform iefakaf for ten days but knowing how hard it would be for to ashar n hareem without her..as they are always dependent on her for their daily routine works..
Ashar as get to know about her dear wish.. He asked her to go with her plans as they will manage.. But she didn't.. In last three days... At last hareem n ashar convinced her assuring her of their well being.. She went along with Ber wish..
Three days in solitude for seeking Allah's willingness.. She was much excited..
Ashar n hareem however wasn't sure but they wanted khirad to be happy..
Three days have been difficult for them than anything else ..while for her those were blessed one as being free from world worries she had inner peace.. Every time remembering her husband n child in prayers she thanked Allah for blessing her with best man n child...all the grudges or complains she had in past from her husband or her Allah.. Were finally completely wiped out..with thankfulness n gratitude of being among blessed ones..
...
It was the lail latul jaiza..which more commonly known as chand raat.. Yes finally Ramzan was over .. And where it was bit sad ..there was happiness.. The night of reward.. N the gift of Eid ul Fitar was there..
As soon as it was announced officially about Eid.. Hareem was the one to run to her mother's room..
Khirad was amazed at the way she hugged her n never left.. It took her an hour to make her realize her mother was fine n with her.. Her sobs.. She had missed her mother so much in those three days... Reuniting with her...was over whelming..
"Hareem..idhar dekhein na..main apkey pass hi hon.."
Khirad made her look at her.. Khirad smiled n wiped away her tiny tears.. N kissed her forehead..
"apko bohat miss kia main ne"
Khirad smiled..
"main ne bhi"
She hugged her daughter..
she came out of the room as her daughter dragged her outside ..enough impatient to meet him..
She got surprised as saw the candle light dinner arrangement in dinning place..n ashar at her service..
"mam would u like to be our guest tonight?"
She smiled n nodded.. Ashar gifted her an outfit and asked her to get fresh..to join them for dinner.
Wearing a red outfit she came down.. With her hairs open. ..simple yet elegant..
She get welcome warmly by her daughter n husband.. She was amazed looking at dinner which had her special dish briyani.. She got excited n amazed as get to know ashar made it..
As ashar offered her Rice and waited impatiently to know how far she liked them..
Eating them she looked at him with her expressionless face.. Ashar as thought he didn't get succeed to make the one thing she loves so much.. But the next moment he saw her winking while make their daughter have it.. Ashar glared it on teasing him.. And joined them as khirad made him eat..
The dinner was one of the memorable one as their daughter gave them best company..which later followed with esha prayer n thankfulness..
Later while their daughter had slept already.. While ashar was taking out his clothes for morning Eid prayer.. He looked at khirad who had now changed in her white kurta salwar for sleeping.
She was brushing her hairs..when she saw him staring at her..she blushed bit..she walked up to him.. N took clothes from his hand to put in wardrobe back.. And closing its door.. She crossed her arms around her waist..
"janab ne dekh lia ho apni biwi ko tou apki biwi ja k so saktein hain?"
He felt bit embarrassed as realized he was just staring at her from quiet a while.. He nods in yes..
Khirad smiled and moved towards their bed..
As both laid down turn head towards each other.. With a known smile to each other .. As acknowledged they both had missed each other..
He held her hand in palm before they dozed off..
...
Eid .. Such happy occasion for every Muslim..after thirty days their creator gifted this day as symbol of their all efforts in Ramadhan to win Allah's will..
After fajar prayer instead of taking nap again...
khirad had just placed head on his chest...as they discussed events of today..
"Asharr??"
Khirad called him as didn't get any response from him..
"huh..hann."
Ashar looked at her as came out of his thoughts..
"kia huwa ? Koi baat hui hai kia?"
He smiled at her concern ..n took her hands in his palms..
"tmharey lea kuch lia tha..soch raha hon tmhey pasand aye ga bhi k nai?"
"apney merey lea shopping ki? Kia lia? Dein na.. Pasand kuin nai aye ga... Ap itney pyaar sy merey lea laein hain jesa bhi ho ga mjhy tou acha hi lagey ga na"
Ashar smiled at her simplicity.. She is too good to be true..
"tm gift dekhey bina hi itna kush kuin ho khirad ?"
She make face at his question and amazed expressions..
"kia aik achi biwi asey kush nahn hoti?"
Khirad kind of remind him of his own words when he had admitted she had been a good wife in every manner..
"meri biwi kush hoti hai aur uska har andaz..uski Har adda..jin par uska shohar Fida hai.. Un sab sy zyada WO kudh achi hai.. "
His words made her to blush.. And his gaze melted her..squeezing her in herself ..as felt shy..
He watched her eyes ..stealing glances..or her palms rubbing against each other.. As her hairs fall in front of her face side.. And before she could put them back.. He took this job lovingly.. She felt his fingers creasing her cheeks..as moved away her hair..and tugged them at back of her ear..before she could lift gaze to look at him..his fingers slid down to her neck curve..making her hold her breaths...with all nervousness..she felt him being much more closer to her as his fingers slid away her stole from neck...
She closed eyes while clutching her stole..as his lips kissed...at her neck...feeling much shy..she as was to move away..he held her palm.. With her fast beating heart she looked back and as he nodded his head in no..she felt her all blood rushing to her face..as her cheeks reflect red crimson color.. Making him lost in her beauty more..
He slowly pulled her back near..to let himself stare at her face closely.. He cupped her jawline and as leaned closer to her face...and her palm creased his face as cupped his cheek.. Before they could enjoy their moment.. The alarm clock start ringing aloud .. Making their hearts jump for a moment because of sudden n loud voice..
Khirad couldn't stop her smile as saw ashar in his utter disappointment turned to shut down the alarm for..ever..might be.
As he turned back to his wife..he found her giggling much at him..which wasn't welcomed by him much.. Glaring her on making fun of him..he got up to leave..
She bit her lips in little guilt seeing him going to get ready taking his kurta salwar..
Before she could call..he left the room.. She sighed.. And then grabbing her stole..she got up to move in kitchen to make something in sweet.. Sewiyan or sher kurma !
She was almost done when ashar called out her..
"KHIRADDD.."
As she heard his impatient voice she turned of the stove .. And rushed towards their room..
She found him wearing black kurta salwar..that was complimenting him so much.. She was stunned how perfect he looked..
"Khirad yeh button tou laga do jaldi sy i would get late"
Coming out of her daydreaming she quickly nodded as moved to get needles and thread..
He was looking away as showing his annoyance still while she was trying to manage to do what was needed to be done..seeing her shivering hands he bit his tongue as realized his wife was stunned and nervous..
To help her out or making it more difficult..he put arm around her waist.. And pulled her even more close..making her look at him with surprise..he gestured her to continue her work.. She gasped as she tried to concentrate while being aware of his constant gaze..
She was done with stitching..she removed the thread by biting with her teeth..
"ho gya hai.."
She whispered as found lost ashar ..
He held her cheek.. As he slowly creased his face with her lovingly.. She closed eyes as enjoyed his affection..
"thank you"
She smiled as he kissed her forehead..and she smiled at him..
...
Before ashar could go for eid prayer.. Hareem woke up and Ashar greeted her with love n affection..
Khirad bring the sweetdish.. As ashar had hareem in his arms...she smiled knowing his intention and shyly made him have it.. Ashar started at her lovingly as khirad made ashar n hareem both have the sweet dish..
After ashar left.. Khirad made hareem ready.. She had Sewed a really beautiful maroon and golden coloured anarkali frok for her..in which hareem looked absolutely beautiful fairy princess. After khirad was done with hareem.. She moved to her room to change before ashar comes..
She was surprised as saw a box on the bed..she read the note..
"for you darling..love you!"
She blushed hard to herself..and couldn't stop imagining his teasing..she opened the box n found a red anarkali dress with white embedded stones.. Including a diamond set and bangles .. And heels...
She was stunned how beautiful all the things were.. She couldn't wait to try out the outfit n be ready for him..
...
Ashar came home back and got warmly greeted by his daughter who demanded her eidi gift! He lovingly took her in the garden..and showed her all the new plants he brought for her..before his excited daughter could go and enjoy herself planting .he stopped her reminding her mother wouldn't be happy if she messed up with her clothes.. Hareem got agreed to do it later along ashar..
While hareem n Ashar were watching cartoons..ashar as found khirad no where..he excused himself letting hareem to watch alone..
...
Calling his wife..as he entered in the room.. It was his turn to be awestruck.. She was dressed in red outfit..her hairs were opened n ironed perfectly.. While she had done little make up..her red lipstick just made her lips more prominent feature of her face.. And thus increasing the fairness of her already fair skin too.. She was wearing jewelry when he had walked in..she looked at him through mirror as asking does he need anything..
Instead of saying anything..he let the door close.. As walked up to her slowly..she felt her heart beats little rhythm less .. He hold her ear ring which she was trying to wear but in nervousness couldn't.. She gasped at his touch as he moved aside her hairs.. N slid in the ear ring.. She closed eyes..as his lips touched her ear.. She picked the other one and turned to his side and forwarded..lovingly staring she moved away hairs at other side.. And he let the other one slid ...
They got disturbed as their princess knocked at the door n walked in calling both of them..
"mama papa.. Afsheen auntie a gaye hain ap log a jao.."
Ahsar khirad nodded at their daughter ' s announcement ..
Khirad looked at herself in mirror to be sure she was done.. As she turned she found ashar..who's gaze praised her enough n made her blush..
They joined their guests in the sitting area..
The day continued as all of them enjoyed the delicious traditional breakfast like poriyan channey..
The whole day they spent in receiving guests.. While at night they got ready to enjoy time of themselves..
Ashar took them for dinner at their favourite place..and after that they enjoyed time spending on Karachi's beach..
Holding his palm while walking on the sand.. She was much happy n contented.. Having her in his arms.. He felt himself much blessed.. Watching their daughter playing with wet sand.. They felt themselves complete n happy !
