Chapter- 19

A small inventory with all the herbs and medicines, faris standing with a dagger pinned to a man's neck, he was sweating with fear numb, trembling hands he mixed the herbs faris said. 

Par…  ye to….. 

He tries to speak. 

He pins the dagger more into his neck causing him to gasp. 

“Jo hum kehrahe hain kariye, or ye qehwa jaa k Rudab ko dege ap sham tak , unse kahiyega Rustam nay behja hai”

{“Do whatever I say. And give this tea to Rudab  by evening and ask her Rustam sent it. “}

He goes with the tea to Rudab

Faris smirks and says to himself“AJ rat batayege apko faris kya hai…  Rustam Khan”

{Tonight I'll tell you what I am Rustam Khan. }


Rustam and rubad were resting in their room, rustam wakes up from a nap and starts wandering his hands looking for her but does not find her on the bed, besides her. 

His eyes snap open and he jumps off the bad looking for her scared and worried. 

Rudab…  he calls

 He goes to the dressing area not finding her there and then to the hamman, he enters finding it empty too. He gets more worried and starts running around the chamber. 

He finds her standing in the large Window opening in the gardens and takes a deep breath calming himself. 

He hugs her from behind one hand gently gripping at her waist other below her neck

And whispers in her from behind

“Kahan ghum hain begum sahiba, soi nahi ap”

{“Where are you lost begum sahiba, didn't you sleep}

She looks down not replying to his query. 

“Ap theek to hain na pareshan lag rahi hain”

{Are you okay, you look worried”}

He asks. 

She turns to him now facing him she keeps her hands on his chest and says 

“Hume dar lag raha hai wo…  fariss…”

{I'm scared about faris}

“Are dar kiu rahi hain hum hain na”

He says assuring her. 

{Why are you scared I'm here na}

“hum apke k liye dar rahe hain, unhon nay apko kuch kerdiya.. To”

{I'm sacred for you what if he does something to you}

He laughs slowly. 

“Dariye mat, hum me esi ladayi hoti rehti hai.”

{Don't be scared we have such fights usually. }

And leans in to kiss her red cheeks. 

She flusters even more. 

“apki darhi bhot chubti hai”

“{You're beard tickles”}

He laughs a slow laugh and proceeds to rub his beard against her already red cheeks. 

Both of them burst in laughter. 

Their foreheads meet and their eyes ignite the fire within when they look at each other and a moment of heat arises when their eyes interlocke honey melting into Emleard.
