6 years later
Hamza enter his home in Delhi and straight away go to the kitchen knowing his wife would be there.
Not paying attention to his surroundings he hugged Sehrish from behind nuzzling his nose into her neck.
"I love you begum!"
He whispered and placed a soft kiss at the base of her neck. Before he could continue his ministrations he heard a throat clearing and stood up straight.
Shit! How could he forget that his parents were over for some days. He looked at his mother sheepishly who had a teasing expression on her face while his wife glared at him for embarrassing her.
"Mai-umm-fresh hokar aata hu."
He ran to his room muttering a salam to his father on the way who looked confused seeing his son run like his ass was on fire.
Sehrish couldn't meet her mother-in-law's eyes. Because of stupid shohar. She had a permanent blush on her face after that.
"Ammi! Aapka chehra kitna lal hai."
Her son said cupping her cheeks. This father-son duo had made it a point to embarrass her till death.
Hamza chuckled earning a glare from his wife. He grinned sheepishly knowing he'll have to manofy her. He knew how to!
He still remembered his conversation with his dadijaan years back.
6 years back
Hamza entered his dadijaan's room after knocking and sat near her feet keeping his head on her lap.
"Bilkul yaad nhi aati na dadi ki tumhe? Delhi jaakar bhul hi gaya hai bilkul."
She complained and he gave her an apologetic smile.
"Bhut thak jaata hu dadi. Kaam itna dete hai ye office wale."
He complained back and she caressed his head.
"Achha hai. Khub mehnat kro. Bade aadmi bano aur hamara naam roshan kro."
"Dadajaan bhi aise hi kehte the."
He chuckled remembering his grandfather.
"Hmm! Unke jaane ke baad sab kuch aise khali khali lagta hai."
"Bhut chahti thi na aap dadajaan ko."
Hamza said and she giggled.
"Mohabbat kehte hai usse. Tum jaante ho uss waqt na dulha dulhan ko nikah se pehle milne nhi dete the. Lekin jab tere dadajaan aaye the na ghar pehli baar toh maine unhe apne kamre ke jharoke (window) se dekha tha."
She giggled like a young girl making Hamza smile. His grandmother was too sweet sometimes.
"Aur tabhi se apne mann mai unhe apna shohar maan lia tha."
"Haww dadi! Aap dadajaan ko nikah se pehle se mohabbat krti hai. Bhut shararti hai aap."
She hit his head and shook her head.
"Hone wale shohar the mere wo."
"Huye toh nhi the na. Mano agar aapke abbu mana kr dete unhe."
"Toh kya? Maine toh unhe apna shohar maan lia tha na. Aise toh mai abbu se bhi lad jaati."
Hamza now turned to her.
"Aapko kya lagta hai dadi? Jis insaan se hum mohabbat krte hai hume usse hi nikah krna chahiye?"
"Bilkul!"
"Aur agar unke ghar wale jabardasti unka nikah bina unki raza ke kisi aur se teh krde ye jaante huye ki wo kisi aur ko chahte hai toh?"
"Phir toh ye galat hai. Sarasar galat hai. Uss ke saath bhi jiske saath jabardasti ho rhi hai, uske saath bhi jiske saath nikah hai aur uske saath bhi jisse wo chahta hai."
Hamza was quiet for some time. His grandmother asked.
"Tumhare kisi dost ki baat kr rhe ho?"
"Nhi dadijaan. Sehrish ki."
Her smile fell and she looked away.
"Usne bataya tha na aapko ki wo kisi aur ko chahti hai. Lekin aapne bhi toh nazarandaaz kr dia. Galat kia uske saath. Na Aarish bhaijaan se puchha na usse. Ki kya wo ye nikah chahte bhi hai kisi aur ko chahte hai."
"Ye baat kuch aur hai Hamza. Mera ye faisla lena zaruri tha. Tumhare abbu aur chachu dono parivaaro ko alag kr dete."
"Aur hum hone dete kya? Bache nhi the hum bhi dadijaan. Cheezein handle krna aata tha hume bhi. Lekin aapne na Sehrish ki baat suni jab wo aapse kehne aayi aur na hi Aarish bhaijaan ko mauka dia ki wo apni mohabbat se aap sab ko milwa ske."
He said truly disappointed.
"Aarish kisi se mohabbat krta hai?"
She was shocked. Aarish was her bhola bacha who couldn't talk to girls. Well, seemed like the image she had in mind for him was wrong. Her grandson wasn't that bhola after all.
"Jee! Lekin aapke faisle ke aage majbooran apni mohabbat kurban kr rhe hai."
Their was silence was a few seconds before he spoke again.
"Lekin ab nhi krenge dadijaan. Kyunki mai ye nikah hone nhi dunga. Aapka ye nikah karane ka concern tha ki abbu aur chachu alag na ho. Mai guarantee leta hu aisa nhi hoga. Aur aap ye pakka krenge ki Aarish bhaijaan ka nikah ussi se ho jisse wo chahte hai."
Her dadijaan nodded and caressed his hair and said.
"Sahi kehte ho tum. Jaldbaazi mai kaafi galat faisle le liye maine. Sehrish ke saath bhi bhut galat kia hai. Uska bhi nikah uski pasand se krana hai."
He now smiled sheepishly and said.
"Wo-uski zarurat nhi padegi dadijaan. Darasal jiski baat wo kr rhi thi wo mai hi tha. Aur uss waqt kuch na samajh aate huye humne 4 saal pehle nikah kr lia tha."
He said giving her a shock.
"Aur dadijaan! Badi dadi banne wali hai aap."
He said blushing a little. It took her some time to understand but when she did she pulled his ear and said.
"Badmash ladke!"
Flashback end
Hamza entered his room to see his wife and son on a video call with his brother's wife and daughter.
"Bye Affi! Ab so jaao. Tumhe subha school bhi jaana hai na. Mai, ammi aur abbu jald aayenge tumse milne."
Little Rayyan said grinning at his elder brother's daughter, Afreen. She was 4 years old.
After the call was disconnected Sehrish pulled her son between them patted him to sleep.
"Mujhe Affi bhut pasand hai ammi."
He mumbled in a sleepy voice making her look at her son in shock. Hamza also raised his eyebrow and asked.
"Achha?"
"Hmm! Mai bada hokar usse apni dulhan banaunga abbu."
Wow! Their son was too fast! Well! Can't blame him. Even he had loved Sehrish since he was a kid. Seems like his son was on his footsteps. Oh how his bhaijaan would react knowing what his lovely nephew thinks about his princess.
