"Y-ye a-aap k-kya..., (W-what a-are y-you..)" I abruptly shut up as I saw him giving me a hard look through the mirror. Lowering my eyes, I tried my very best to ignore the fact that a man was seeing and touching me in such an exposed state, but tha...
My anger began to rise again seeing her ignorant behaviour towards me. Has this woman seriously already forgotten who I am?
Me: Tumhara shohar (Your husband)

No reply.
Me: Kya howa? Shohar ka naam sunke he itna shock kyu? Kahin tum kesi aur ko tou expect nahi kar rahi thein? (What happened? This much shock on hearing your husband's name? Or were you expecting someone else?)

Even the mere thought of another man calling her at this time of night had my insides hurling with rage. Not being able to rein it in anymore, I quickly dialled her number and luckily for her she picked up immediately.

"J-ji? (Y-yes?)"
"AINDA MAI TUMHARE MU SAY KISY GHER MARD KA NAAM BHI NA SUNO, AI SAMAJH! BIWI HO TUM MERI, SIRF AUR SIRF MERI! (I DON'T EVER WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER MAN'S NAME FROM YOUR LIPS EVER AGAIN, UNDERSTOOD! YOU ARE MY WIFE, MINE AND ONLY MINE!)" I completely lost it as I heard her soft, melodious voice coming from the other side. Did she speak the same way to those bastards?

"Suleiman, please, calm down. Ap meri baat tou sune, aisa kuch nahi hai. Wo sirf stupid se crush the jine mein kab say bhol chuke hoon. Aur jahantak hamare nikkah ke baat hai, uspe hume jald se jald baat karni chahiye, (At least listen to me, it's nothing like what you think. They were just stupid crushes I had and I've already gotten over them. And as for our nikkah, I think we really ought to talk about it as soon as we can)" I somewhat calmed after hearing her explanation, but that look in her eyes when she mentioned those two idiots still had me on edge. That look belongs to me and only me. Her everything belongs to me!
