Humsafar (short stories)

Ulfat

"I am not working under you. I am working under Fateh Murad Khan"
She glared back at him

"Next time be conscious of taking his name so casually as I wouldn't allow that. He's your boss, not your friend or something like that. There's only one girl in the whole world who can call him like this and that's my Bhabhi Azeen Fateh Murad Khan"
Daniyal announced while smirking

Azeen felt herself burning with jealousy but she couldn't do anything
"Why did call me?"

"Tell me about tomorrow's presentation with the Seghal group"
He put a cigarette in his mouth

"This project is being handled by Mr. Murad"
She replied clenching her fist

"That's none of your concern. I am also the boss of this organization so I expect the same respect from you or else I have the option to fire you and the guy you're talking about is my brother who never questions me about anything. So take it as my last warning"
Daniyal screamed making her scared

Ayeza told him about the points to be discussed and all the details of their selling object. Daniyal took a long puff and left the smoke on her face while smirking. Ayeza was getting annoyed but she had to bear it to feed her family and stay close to Fateh. Daniyal allowed her to go

"I will tell Fateh about his behavior"
She whispered but Daniyal heard it making him angry

Before she could leave. Daniyal held her arm and pulled her towards himself making her shocked and struggle. He pinned her to the table and screamed in her face emphasising each word
"Stay away from my brother or you will be not like the consequences"

Ayeza pushed him while glaring at him and went out of his office. Now Daniyal was fearing Fateh's reaction if he got to know this. His heart was beating fast
"Bhabhi this sautan of yours will be the death of me. Allah, please save me from Fateh Bhai's wrath I just wanted to show her that I am not afraid of him but you know the reality so please save this poor human of yours. I am an innocent child, please forgive me"

Fateh heard the noise from the living room of his portion. He stood at the door to see Sana sitting with Azeen on the sofa showing her new bangles
"You know Adil is so loving. He always brings gifts for me to look he gifted these new gold bangles. Isn't it pretty"

"Yes Api they are very pretty"
She smiled wholeheartedly saying "MashAllah" in her heart but somewhere in her heart she felt sad as Fateh never gifted her something after marriage except that ring on the first night

"What did Fateh gift you?"
Sana smiled and asked searching for something on her neck or wrists

"This ring"
She showed her the ring

"But this is the ring of your first night's gift. I am asking about others"
Sana clarified making her nervous

"Umm, he gifted me the bangles but they are in my cupboard. You know about my carelessness I would have lost them"
She smiled nervously

"Yes please keep it safe and wear it occasionally"
She advised her while smiling

"By the way, I like the simple metal ones more than gold. As I am not so fond of gold"
Azeen told her and Fateh who was listening and standing at the door was shocked

"But why metal ones?"
Sana asked

"They don't break into your hands that's why"
She replied

Fateh smiled and walked towards the door again
....................................................................

Azeen entered the room and went to the washroom to take a bath. She came out to see Fateh engrossed in work

"Assalamalikum"
She greeted him with a smile

"Walikukasalam"
He smiled back

She went towards the sofa started taking off his coat and passed him a glass of water. Fateh drank it and went to take a bath without even looking at her. She got confused but shrugged thinking he might be busy

Fateh came out to see her sitting on the bed reading a novel on her phone. He frowned. Fateh sat beside her on the bed and started working on the laptop. After about thirty minutes he said
"Azeen can you find my watch which I wore yesterday? I think I have lost it"

Azeen frowned as he disturbed her novel but got up half-heartedly and started finding it. Her eyes went to the big box. She opened it to see almost all colors of metal bangles. Her mouth and eyes opened wide in shock. Fateh who was sneaking a look smiled at her reaction. She turned to look at Fateh but he pretended to be busy with work. Azeen couldn't understand anything. She picked up the box and went towards Fateh holding it. She placed it in front of him and asked
"What is this?"

"Bangles"
He looked at them for a second and started working again

"I can see that but did you bring them?"
She asked him hiding her smile

"No"
Fateh was feeling extremely uncomfortable. He was feeling nervous and embarrassed to accept it

"Then did Bahadur Khan get it for me?"
She glared at him. Bahadur Khan was their servant

"I don't know, ask him"
He said casually, shutting off the laptop he lay down on the bed to sleep

Azeen nodded her head in disbelief and lay down beside him to sleep after putting the box on the table. She felt a hand on her waist and smiled placing her hand on his

Author's note:
Guys, I have a very bad muscular pain in my arm. I wrote this with so much difficulty just for you guys. Hope that you love it. Remember me in your prayers and leave down your lovely comments it really really means a lot. Please pray for our Palestinian brothers and sisters they have been suffering for a long time. Their children are being killed in their hands. They wake up to the sound of fires and bombs. We can't even imagine how much they are suffering. They don't have any weapons to fight and the least we can do to help them is to pray for them. Pray for their basic human rights. Pray for their children to live. Pray for them not to get murdered for practicing their deen. My heart is bleeding seeing their condition. They don't have food. We pray five times a day but they pray six times Fajar, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Eshaa, and Janazah. They can kill us but never defeat us because a true muslim never gives up on his or an other religion's basic rights. We can die thousand times but our iman can never die because we don't fear death, we fear Allah. It's Allah's order to take a stand for righteousness even if your parents are against you. Our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to make decisions based on truth and righteousness only and never distinguished between a Muslim or any other religion-related person. As for him humanity and righteousness come first. We are his ummah It is time for us to stand up for the truth for the right and to tell Israelis that a country supported by Allah can never be defeated
