Chapter 9

Roohi POV

We woke up late the next morning and to our surprise nobody bothered us to wake us also. By the time we went down to have our breakfast it was almost 11'o clock. We had our breakfast with maham and her husband.

Later on Ahad and Imad bhai went outside due to some work reasons. And I hanged out with ammi and others in her room. She was telling about Ahad's childhood stories who was a handful kid.

She even showed me a picture of Ahad in frock, she wanted a girl first so she completed her armaan by dressing up him in a frock.

I quickly the snapped the picture of it.

When the duo arrived everyone were lounging in the living room with some or the other discussion. We were to go to mamujaan place for the dinner .

I wanted to talk to Ahad about something but he made himself comfortable with the boys who wouldn't bother to look at my way. I decided to go to my room and text him.

"Bhabhi were are you going, let's go to the backyard and we can play something. " sarah pleaded.

"Sure I will, just give me a minute I need to go back to my room ." I told them who simply nodded.

I quickly texted him and waited for him to arrive,and thinking whether he will approve my request or not.

He entered the room and locked it.

"Everything alright, you called me?"

"Yes everything fine, but I have a small request, if it is okay or you are" I was fumbling with my words .

He came towards me and pull to the love seat present in the corner of the room.

"Roohi you don't need to be nervous around me. Just say what is bothering you. "

"I wanted to say that after dinner at mamu's place can we please go to my parents place for the night. Its okay if you don't want to" I rambled.

He shushed me up and asked whether that makes me happy to which I just nodded.

"Then we will surely go".

"Thank you Ahad " and hugged him.

"I have to call khala and tell her to clean the house wait a minute " and was about to take my cell and call her when he pulled me back and mumbled stay .

We spoke about our likes and dislikes.

"Can you please tell ammi about our stay "

"Yes you just get dressed up I will be back in sometime."

We went to mamujaan's place and dinner went by smoothly without any drama that I was expecting.

Right now I was giving directions to him. We pulled up in the front. Khala welcomed us. We went in and I told her that she can retire for the night.

I showed him around firstly my parents room and other rooms.

At least we entered my room.

"And this is my room not much of decor or anything " I almost teared up when I showed it around but controlled now I couldn't anymore.

He took me in a hug and spoke ,"you don't need to cry silently when am with you" and turned me to him.

His gaze was intense and we were lost again in the ocean of emotion present in our eyes.

He first looked at me and then at my lips and spoke in a hoarse voice, "may I?"

My mind was in his trance and my head bobbed on it's own with that he slowly descended his lips on mine and I froze.

We stood still and very slowly he moved his lips on mine with that my eyes closed down. He slighty moved back and took me in his arms and carried me to the bed, my head was in the crook of his neck. I was too shy to look at him. Again I felt the same gaze when I looked at him , he again kissed me.

I couldn't help but reciprocate it even though I didn't know what I was doing. We continued until we were out of breath.

The kiss was so passionate filled with want ,care and a hint of love.

"Don't worry jaan, we won't take things further unless you want it" he voice still hoarse. He wrapped his arms around me and drifted off. It was the best sleep I've ever slept.

In the next few days, chachu's and their families went back to their homes. Before I know we will be leaving for our honeymoon tomorrow and I haven't packed yet.

Things between me and Ahad escalated. We have strong bond that pulls us together. We have grown really close.

Currently, he was sprawled over the bed and I was in our closet contemplating what to pack and I always hated packing.

"Roohi , what's taking you so long. It's really late you can pack in there morning"

"No, ahad ,I will be busy in the morning I can peacefully pack now, you can sleep"i retorted back from the closet. I was picking some dresses from hangers when he startled me with a back hug.

"You know that it became my habit to sleep with you in my arms, you are like a sleeping pill. You very well know I can't sleep without you"he mumbled in my shoulder.

"So please help me pack, because I have no idea "

"I will, on one condition that you won't say no to my choice"

"But....""now let me help you".

He removed some suits and maxi dresses. I had very minimal western outfits.

It took almost an hour to finish packing , we even packed his clothes.

"That's enough for now, I'm really sleepy now"

In the morning he had to run some errands for the business, as we leave in the night .

Dinner was eaten early since we had to leave. Ammi was advising us about the do's and don'ts," both of you don't eat some street food, ahad tends to get sick easily "

"Ammi ,we are not kids anymore we can handle ourselves "ahad responded back.

"Roohi beta don't listen to him ,first he will eat and then gets sick, so don't fall into his excuses"ammi again said.

I tried to stifle my laugh and at this point ahad had the expression of a child whose favorite toy have been snatched from him.

Zayd and Rayyan bhai have come to drop us to the airport. We went to the lounge directly as Ahad has already check in our tickets and baggage online. So we have to just wait for the boarding.

"Waise apne bataya nhi ( you didn't say me where are we going), where are we going?" my curiosity got the best of me.

"I thought that you were not going to ask, we will be going to Paris for a 4 days and santorini and Amsterdam for 2 days each"

I did a happy dance in my heart. We boarded the plane and took our first class seats. They were too comfortable and we slept through the flight.

A chauffeur was already present waiting for us who took us to the hotel and we called the night as it was already midnight.

The next morning we got ready and first we went to the Louvre museum. Coincidentally we were matching.

We had a lovely hotel room,the view was just breathtaking .

Ahad have been in a different mood since morning. He have some playful vibes .

By the time, we finished touring the entire museum ,we were famished. Ahad had already visited this place before so he knew some halal place where we can eat.

"Ahad is the place far from here?" I asked as we were going towards our car.

"No it's just round the corner, why do you ask?" He wriggled his eyebrows at me. Before I even could reply he beat to me and said,"jaan, you can directly say to me that you want to have a romantic walk with your husband!"

I could clearly see the mischief in his eyes.

So to tease him back I replied, "In your dreams ,I'm very hungry so as I was saying you walk too slow ,you must speed up to catch to me"

He was totally shocked with my comeback and stomped towards the car. I marched to him and grabbed his arm and spoke,"come on, mr don't be a spoilsport and let's have a walk."

He came out of shock and wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

The place was very cozy . After our lunch we went to Arc de Triomphe. It was evening and we went on top of it and really a great view.

We clicked a few selfies and Ahad took many photos of me . I didn't like selfies but I took it for his sake.

There was one picture which I liked the most ,it was picture of me looking at the camera and he was looking at me with a doting smile. My heart swelled at that sight of him.

After our dinner, we retreat to our bedroom. After praying we are now speaking on a video call to ammi.

"Roohi beta he didn't troubled you.?"

To which ahad responded "ammi do I look like I will trouble her ,instead she is troubling me"

"Ammi, jhoot bol rahe hai ye, Maine tang nhi kiya ye mujhe tang karte hai(mom he is lying , I don't tease or disturb him but its him who do)" I told her innocently. Soon the call ended.

"Toh main tang karta hoon( so I always tease you?)" he spoke too mischievously to my liking .

"Maine kaha jhoot bola(when did I lie)" I pouted.

"Abhi bata hoon(wait I'll show you)"with that he pushed me towards him and tickled me . And let me tell you I was super ticklish .

"Ahad no please ,bus (enough)" my pleadings went a deaf ear on him.

He stopped when I was out of breath,we were sprawled on the the bed with each other just a breath away from each other.

Suddenly the room atmosphere took a 360° turn. Slowly he leaned in and my arms automatically went around his neck and pulled him closer . My body was not in control by my mind . The kiss was just magical that no words could define.

All I knew was there was some feeling harboured by my heart which I didn't name yet but I do want to acknowledge them when it will feel just right that I can let it out loud to its owner of this heart.
