2)🍀

When the time of rukhsati came everyone got little senti, everyone except bride, who had bad habit of laughing when she saw someone crying

"Na beta ro mat, koi London thori ja rahi ho piche wale Ghar hi toh ja rahi ho," her mother-in-law console her

(Don't cry,)

"Main ro bhi nahi rahi Hoon." Minahil mumbled but Humaima quickly grab her arm

(I'm not crying.)

Ashaj opened the car's door for her, when she sat down he went to other side and also get in

"Thora sa dikhane ke liye hi ro deti." Once the car started Ashaj said to her who was looking outside the window

(At least you could have pretend to cry.)

"Jab Rona nahi aa raha tha toh Kya karti?" She turned to him

(What can I do I wasn't feeling like cry?)

"Sahi bhi toh Hai zaroori Hai apni Zindagi ki nai shuruat roke Kare." Faizan who was driving the car said

(Is it necessary to start your new life crying?)

Jahangir and Ibraheem were friends since childhood were Jahangir and Nusrat had two sons Faizan and Ashaj

Ibraheem and Naziya had two daughters Humaima and Minahil

Ashaj was five years old when Minahil was born being the youngest one when he found someone younger then him he got attached to her, he used to go to her house just after returning from school not even to bother change his uniform

If she was sleeping he used to wait outside of her room waiting for Naziya to open the door, sometimes he even fall asleep on floor beside her cot

His new obsession didn't went unnoticed by his mother who jokenly said to Naziya that now Minahil will become Ashaj's bride

Being only five year old when he heard this he thought he got authority of her

He never let anyone else play with her not even his brother or her sister

When she grow up and started going school he made sure no one gets close to her not even girls

The possessiveness of him provoked her as she became rebel she started misbehaving with him and to irk him she started friendship with boys more

As if saying 'sunte toh hum kisi ke baap ki bhi nahi'

The car stopped outside his house, he helped her to get down

"Yeh rasm Meri favorite Hai." Humaima said, as she brought a bowl full of milk placing it on table she sat beside Minahil,

(It's my favorite ritual.)

"Now listen iss bowl mein kuch pebbles Hain aur ek ring, whoever find ring first will be dominant in relationship." Nusrat said, Minahil and Ashaj who were seated opposite of each other looked at each other

"Main toh Ashaj ki taraf Hoon wahi ring pehle dhoondega." One of Ashaj's cousin said and high five Ashaj

(I am on Ashaj's side, he will definitely get the ring first.)

"Idhar toh main bhi Ashaj ki taraf Hoon." Faizan said making Minahil's smile drop

(I'm also on Ashaj's side.)

"Aur main Minahil ki taraf, pata Hai yeh rasm Maine jeeti thi apne time." Humaima said smiling at her younger sister

(And I'm on Minahil's side,)

"So ready?" Someone said whom both Ashaj and Minahil didn't bother to know as Ashaj pulled his sleeves up and Minahil pulled her bangles up a little

"And.... Go!" They both dip their hand in bowl which was filled with milk, pebbles, Rose patels and a ring

Ashaj raised his head to see his bride who was so engaged in the game with her eyebrows furrowed

Suddenly Minahil rasied her head and looked at Ashaj with open mouth

"Ashaj aap cheating kyu Kar rahe Hain?" As she said that Ashaj pulled a golden ring out from bowl, some of his cousin wolf whistle

(Why are you cheating?)

"Nahi inho ne cheating ki." Minahil said and turned to her sister

(No, he cheated.)

"I almost grab the ring but he shook his hand and I loose it." She explained it her sister but Ashaj had his infamous smirk on his face

"Everything is fair in love and war." Ashaj said and grabbed her hand gently, he put the ring in her finger

Minahil who was already furious of his cheating jerked her hand away

"Oho shaadi ki pehli raat hi biwi ko naraz Kar diya." His cousin brother said, Ashaj who had frown on his face again smiled which didn't reach his eyes

(Oho you get your wife angry that too on your first night.)

"Koi nahi naraz Kiya Hai toh Mana bhi lunga."

(If I have got her angry I know how to make her happy too.)

"Jane do waise bhi game toh koi bhi jeete dominant hamesha wife hi rehti Hain." Nusrat said smiling at her daughter-in-law

(Doesn't matter who wins the game, wife always dominant.)

Her sister and some of his cousin sisters took her to room, his cousin sister said some sexiest joke making Minahil cringe, she opened her mouth to say something but Humaima grab her hand and nod her head negatively

"Jao niche Jake dekho koi kaam toh nahi." Humaima dismiss them

(Go downstairs.)

"Don't be nervous," she rescuingly smile at her younger sister,

"I'll send Ashaj in." Minahil nod her head when Humaima left she looked around the room was and sigh, it was over decorated. How she is suppose to sleep when the flowers spared on the bed and with this much strong fragrance

Where is Ashaj? She thought as she shift a little

Her dress was now itching and she wanted to change, if he will not come in five minutes she will change her dress, she thought

The sound of door opening made her look up, there stood Ashaj he close the door behind him and came forward

She look at him and again bow her head down

She was expecting a compliment but

"Yeh bahar Kya Kiya tumne?" He said making her brows furrowed she looked up at him

(What did you do outside?)
