I glanced at my watch as I pulled my keys out of the keyhole of my car. God damnit, it was already half past 11 and I had promised Miraal I would be back home by 5 today. Aaj tau shaamat aanay waali hai.

I made my way inside the house to see everything clad in pitch darkness. Looks like everyone was asleep. I walked to my room and pushed open the door to come across the sight of my darling dozed off on the couch in a sitting position, her arms were folded over each other and rested on the back rest of the couch with her head placed on top of her arms, her legs were tucked inside her knees. She truly looked like a Goddess.

I sat on the couch beside her and caressed her cheek with the back of my hand. Softly patting her on the cheek I tried to wake her up. Who was I kidding, she was used to waking up to the feel of my lips on hers.

I leaned down and pushed my lips on hers, slightly biting her lower lip. I pulled back to see her eyes fluttering open. A small smile made its way to her lips before she masked it away with a frown. I slightly chuckled at her cute expressions which made her glare at me.

"Kyun aaye hain aap?" She spoke while she turned her face away from me expressing her narazgi.

"Tumharay liye aya hoon, meri jaan," I said as I leaned closer to her, grabbing her hand in mine, she tried to pull it away but I intertwined it with mine tightly. This hand was mine to hold. Nobody, nobody could never pull it away from me.

"Jaayen, apni ussi mashooka ke paas jaayen jiski wajah se raat ko der der se ghar wapas atay hain aur mujhay intezaar karwatay hain," her grip on my hand tightened as she spoke, contradicting her words.

"Mai agar uskay paas chala gaya tou tumhara kya hoga?" She jerked her head in my direction as tears welled up in her eyes, making my own go wide. Oh crap.

"Miraa-",

"Pata tha mujhay, dafa hojayen yahan se," She forced her hand out of mine and left my side.

I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back towards me, making her fall in my lap. I adjusted her position, making her face me with both of her legs on either side of mine.

I cupped her face in my hands as I spoke,

"Apni jaan se pyari biwi ko chhor kar kisi aur ke baaray ma soch sakta hun kya mai? Meri itni jur'rat?"

She sniffled as she rubbed her button nose with the side of her index finger and looked away.

"Sorry baby, I've been busy working on this new project, we're just a couple of steps away from getting our hands on it. Once we do, all of my time will be yours for however long you ask, ye mera waada hai."

A small smile made it's way to her lips as she looked at me with her eyes shining brighter than the envious stars. 

"Aesa ha..?" She asked in a timid voice making me feel like I was the luckiest man on this planet.

I smiled back at her and pecked her lips with love before replying with a nod,

"Jee haan, bilkul aesa hee hai,"
