Do it now.
Ayra comanded someone and cut the call.
Mubashira kahan hai. Cake cutting ka time hone wala hai.
Zaid asked Haya.
Haya shook her head sideways.
Bhabhi aapke room ki taraf gayi hain keh rahi thi ke aapne bulaya hai.
Haya said, her voice filled with confusion.
Maine toh nahin bulaya.
Zaid thought but nodded at Haya nevertheless.
He walked up towards his bedroom and was about to enter inside but the lights want off.
Ab yeh kya hai?
Zaid said to himself in frustration.
Zaid.
He heard Mubashira,s voice, filled with panic.
Mubashira.
Zaid turned on the flashlight of his phone after taking out the phone from his pocket.
The light came and Zaid shut his eyes due to the sudden light. He blinked his eyes a few times and then opened his eyes fully.
Mubashira.
Zaid whispered. His heart stopped beating seeing Mubashira hugging mohib from behind.
Mubashira.
Zaid let out a breathy gasp of her name.
Mubashira whose eyes were closed suddenly jolted backwards slightly and turned around with a jerk. Her heartbeat stopped as she found Zaid standing there.
He was talking on the phone and then she sighed. She looked at Mohib rather angrily, her eyes sparkling with a glint of irritation in their depths and then she moved backwards as the realization sunk in.
Mubashira...
Zaid who was finished talking on the phone pretended to notice Mohib, feeling his heart burn and then as he watched Mohib reaching out to touch Mubashira,s hand, he couldn't bear it and called out, his voice filled with mock surprise as he didn't wanted to give away his true feelings.
Mohib tum yahan?
Zaid moved towards them and held the delicate curve of Mubashira,s waist, his fingers spreading to cover more of it. Mubashira looked at him, her eyes wide in surprise as her heart skipped a beat.
Zaid tum yahan?
Mohib asked, his voice laced with shock.
Mubashira go down cake cutting ka time ho raha hai.
Zaid said to Mubashira instead looking at her with a soft smile but she saw the spark of hurt in his eyes.
Zaid.
Mubashira called out, her heart heavy with guilt.
I...
She reached out to cup his cheek but Zaid took a tiny step back, almost unnoticeable and then he held her hand instead. Mubashira watched him, her heart heavy with regret.
Abhi nahin baad mein.
Zaid said with a small smile and turned to Mohib.
Kya hua?
Zaid asked raising an eyebrow at him. He controlled the urge to beat Mohib black and blue as he didn't wanted to give away that he had watched them in that position.
Mohib looked at Zaid, anger flickering across his features.
Tumhein gussa nahin aa raha?
Mohib asked, his shock pulpable seeing Zaid as cool as a cucumber.
Kyun mujhe gussa kyun aayega?
Zaid asked, a glint of confusion dancing in his eyes.
Mubashira looked at him she was shocked at his acting skills.
Mera toh pata nahin Mohib per...
Zaid trailed off and showed him his phone and mohib gasped seeing Hina on a video call.
Mohib ghar aao.
Hina,s voice, sharp as a knife cut through the air.
How...
Mohib trailed off and looked at Zaid, his eyes wide with a mixture of shock and fear.
Ab agar tum within few minutes change hone ki itni masterclass acting karoge toh main chup thode bethne wala hoon.
Flashback
After Zaid left from there, he was in the car and dialled Shahmeer
Hello Shahmeer assalamualaikum.
Zaid greeted him when he picked up the call.
Walikumassalam aaj badi yaad aa rahi hai meri.
Shahmeer who was on his way back home greeted him and teased.
Shahmeer not now.
Zaid said seriously.
Kya hua hai Zaid?
Shahmeer asked, now clearly worried, worry lines etched into his forehead.
Zaid sighed heavily, the uneasiness evident in his tone
Mohib se mil ker aa raha hoon main.
Yeh naam suna suna lag raha hai.
Shahmeer said, a hint of confusion coloring his tone.
Haan yeh toh wohi hai na Mubashira bhabhi ka husband.
Shahmeer asked but forgot to add Ex in the line.
Haan aur main toh bhai lagta hoon na?
Zaid asked sarcastically. He felt his heart burning and his grip on the steering wheel tightened.
Shahmeer bit his tongue.
Ah sorry sorry flow flow mein nikal gaya.
Shahmeer apologized genuinely guilty.
Zaid rolled his eyes, the burning sensation that coursed through his veins made him irritated and he responded, his voice a mixture of jealousy and irritation
Woh Mubashira ka EX HUSBAND HAI
Okay I'm sorry
Shahmeer apologized genuinely guilty once again.
Okay so aage bata.
Shahmeer said curious about the happenings.
Zaid sighed heavily and narrated him everything that happened.
I saw guilt in his eyes jo kisi angle se genuine nahin tha.
Zaid spoke after a pause, his voice filled with worry.
Tujhe kaise pata genuine nahin tha. I mean ho sakta hai ke woh genuinely guilty ho.
Shahmeer said, his voice carrying a hint of curiosity.
Mujhe nahin lagta. Mohib woh insaan hai jiska sudharna almost next to impossible hai.
Zaid spoke rather confidently.
Waise you are right I mean bhabhi ko itni insult kerne aur unki mental health ka mazak banane ke baad he suddenly feels guilty jo ke ajeeb lag raha hai.
Pata nahin I feel ke jaise woh kuch kerne wala hai.
Zaid spoke, his voice carrying a hint of worry.
Right and yeh koi Ekta Kapoor ka serial thode hain jahan per villain ek speech se sudhar jaye.
Shahmeer said, a note of acknowledgment coloring his tone.
Tu aur teri Ekta Kapoor se obsession.
Zaid said rolling his eyes.
Meri samajh ke bahar hai.
He added, his tiredness evident.
Acha ab yeh bata mujhe kya kerna hai?
Shahmeer asked, a knowing glint dancing in his eyes.
Mohib ki biwi and Mubashira ki ex best friend Hina ka poora bio deta nikal ke bhejh.
Zaid said rather ordered.
Jo hukum mere aaka.
Shahmeer said with a dramatic bow. His head hit the steering wheel lightly.
Aauch
He hissed and cut the call.
Flashback Ends!!!
Zaid looked at Mohib controlling his anger.
Ghar wapas aao.
Hina,s voice boomed and the color drained out from Mohib,s face and he hurried towards the door.
Zaid held Mubashira,s hand, slipping his fingers through her, he gave her hand a light squeeze, a small smile playing on his lips.
Chalo.
He spoke tugging her along gently. She watched as he refused to meet her eyes. Mubashira forced her feet to stop and then pulled him back with a gentle yet firm tug on his hand.
Zaid please meri baat suno.
Mubashira spoke as she cradled his chin and gently drowned his gaze back to her. Their eyes locking.
Mujhe nahin pata tha ke woh Mohib hai mujhe kaha tha ke tumne bulaya hai and jab main aayi toh light chali gayi and out of fear I called out for you and uske baad mujhe pata hi nahin chala ke maine kaise mohib ko....
Mubashira.
Zaid cut her off gently and then reached up to cradle her cheek tenderly, their eyes remained locked as he spoke, his voice filled with a blend of trust and affection but the spark of hurt in his eyes remained there
I know I trust you.
Per...
Per war kuch nahin abhi ke liye chalo cake cut kerna hai warna koi aa gaya toh problem ho jayegi.
With that he tugged her along gently and they went outside before she could say anything.
Zaid.
His father called him out and he stopped.
Ji baba.
Zaid said turning to look at him.
Maine Mohib ko dekha tumhare room se nikalte huye. Woh kyun aaya tha yahan?
Mr Asif Shahnawi asked.
Zaid couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Kamal hai Mohib ko jate huye sabne dekha per aate huye nahin? Great.
He thought sarcastically while Ayra smirked.
Maine bulaya tha kaam tha mujhe kuch.
Zaid lied effortlessly. His father nodded his head in positive making Zaid wonder.
Yeh sach mein businessman hi hain na?
Zaid thought in his mind. Sometimes he was doubtful about his father,s profession.
Chalo MJ.
Zaid said softly.
After the cake cutting, Mubashira was sitting on the couch lost in thoughts. She was confused and hurt by Zaid,s behavior as he was ignoring her and giving her 1 word replies.
But more than being confused or hurt, she was scared that they'll be back to square one. Her heart almost leaped out of of her chest at that thought. She felt a knot in the pit of her stomach as a sense of unease washed over her.
Bhabhi.
Haya called out placing a hand on her shoulder. Mubashira came out of her thoughts and looked at Haya statled for a moment before she masked it quickly with a smile.
You know you can't hide anything from us.
Shahmeer said coming to sit on the other side of Mubashira, now Mubashira was sitting between Haya and Shahmeer. Mubashira sighed softly.
I know.
Mubashira said and told them everything.
Shahmeer and Haya listened to her with attention.
Usne kaha ke woh mujhpe trust kerta hai maine uski eyes mein dekha but uski ankhon mein hurt bhi tha.
Mubashira spoke, her heart trembled in her chest at the heart wrenching memory.
Per phir sawal yeh hai ke woh mujhse baat kyun nahin ker raha?
Mubashira asked, her hand reached up to caress her forehead. Tension flickering across her features.
Shahmeer and Haya looked at each other, a knowing glint dancing in their eyes.
Haya smiled at Mubashira as she reached out to touch her arm.
Bhabhi main aapko ek baat batata hoon.
Shahmeer said softly and Mubashira looked at him.
Bhabhi aapko pata hai insaan naraz usse hota hai jis ke sath razamandi ka rishta ho.
Haya said softly, a smile gracing her lips.
Aur hum dekh sakte hain ke Zaid aapko apna chuka hai bhale hi yeh rishta ek tarfa tha pehle. Per ab do tarfa hai.
Shahmeer said softly, a smile gracing his lips.
Toh Zaid mujhse naraz hai?
Mubashira asked, a hint of realization evident in her eyes.
Yeh Mubashira Jafar hi hai na?
Haya asked rather confused. Shahmeer laughed.
Bhabhi ki koi galti nahin hai. Zaid khud ek paheli hai ke koi bhi confuse ho jata hai.
Shahmeer said softly.
Yeh toh hai.
Haya said, a knowing smile dancing on her face.
Bhabhi Zaid aapse naraz nahin hai per usse aapko mohib ke sath dekh ker takleef hui hai jo usse khud nahin pata.
Shahmeer told her softly.
Bilkul waisi hi takleef jaisi aapko hoti hai jab aap Zaid bhai ko Ayra ke sath dekhti hain. Per yeh baat unko nahin pata hai ke unko takleef ho rahi hai.
Haya added, her voice softening more with each passing second. Mubashira felt her heart being twisted rather painfully in her chest hearing Haya.
Aur bhai chahe maane ya na maane unko aapse mohabbat hai jo har lamha barti ja rahi hai.
Haya said softly. Mubashira,s heart skipped a beat hearing Haya.
Kya Zaid mujhse mohabbat kerta hai?
Mubashira,s heart pounded in her chest like a drum at the thought and she felt a delicate shiver of delight race down her spine.
And the next moment, she was up on her feet.
Bhabhi kahan ja rahi hain?
Shahmeer and Haya asked in unison, startled by her sudden action.
Apne pyaare shohar ko manane.
Haya spoke, her voice a mixture of anticipation and hope.
Zaid meri baat suno please.
Mubashira said, her voice breathy spent as she struggled to keep up with his long strides.
Zaid stopped and faced her. She was standing on the edge of the pool.
Kya hai MJ.
Zaid said locking eyes with hers, his irritation evident.
MJ...
Her voice was barely above a whisper as she stared at him, the spark in her eyes dimming slightly. He had called her MJ instead of Mubashira, her heart sank.
Zaid please hear me out.
Mubashira said, her hands reached out to cradle his face. Zaid,s breath hitched for a moment and then left him in a trembling whoosh.
Everything,s okay MJ. Sab theek hai bas main baat nahin kerna chahata.
Zaid spoke averting his eyes from her unknowingly taking a step forward. She took a small step backwards, barely cautious about anything else.
Please Zaid trust me main..
I trust you.
He cut her off taking another step forward, she again stepped back, her heart hitching.
Toh mujhe baat kyun nahin ker rahe?
She asked poking her finger in his chest. Their eyes locked.
Kyunke mujhe abhi baat nahin kerni mera mood nahin hai.
Zaid said taking a step forward once again, Mubashira took a small step back.
Suna padega.
Mubashira said, their eyes stayed locked.
Agar na sunun toh?
Zaid asked taking another step forward.
Aahh!!
She yelped out shocked, her heart hitching in her chest falling backwards.
MJ.
He called out and reached out, a hint of fear evident in his eyes. He grabbed her hand tightly catching her mid-fall with one leg suspended in the air, he held her entire body weight on his one arm. Her breath was heavy as her heart raced out of fear. Mubashira craned her neck to stare down at the pool and then stared back at him, her eyes wide, full of shock as he stared at her, carrying her entire body weight on his one arm over the pool.
Zaid pulled her towards himself and then she crashed into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her rather protectively and then she looked up at him, her eyes wide and her breathing was ragged.
She looked at him and once she calmed down, in a swift move, she changed the sides before he knew she had pushed him gently into the pool. The sudden arrival caused a loud splash in the pool. Zaid sank into the pool for a moment but soon came out up to the surface.
He looked at Mubashira who was smirking at him lightly. He glared at her for a moment before keeping a natural face.
Yeh kya harkat thi?
He asked plainly, but his eyes were a mixture of surprise and accusation.
Badla
Mubashira said smirking as she stared at him.
Jaan bachane ka?
Zaid asked sarcastically, narrowing his eyes at her.
Nahin, mujhe ignore kerne ka.
Mubashira said locking eyes with him.
Badla Le liya aapne Mubashira ji?
Zaid asked her running a hand through his wet locks. Mubashira gulped as she watched the water droplets trailing down his body as he stayed there in his awe worthy glory.
She gulped again and then breathed out in an attempt to compose herself. Her heart raced in her chest as she replied trying to keep her voice steady
Haan le liya Zaid ji.
Toh ab bahar aane mein help ker dijiye meri Mubashira ji.
Zaid said with a soft smile, but the mischievous sparkle was evident in his eyes. Mubashira looked at him for few seconds before extending her hand to help him come out. Zaid kept a natural face and reached out to hold her hand. Then with a swift yet gentle tug, he pulled her forward and she lost her balance, her mouth opened in a silent gasp and before she knew it, she was in the pool with a loud splash.
She looked at him wide eyed, water droplets clung to her lashes and she felt her body cool as the air enveloped them in an intimate cocoon. Water droplets trailed down her body, her lips were parted as she took heavy, unsteady breathes.
Yeh kya kiya?
Mubashira asked narrowing her eyes at him.
Zaid,s heart raced as he watched her. He swam towards her and said with a smirk
Mujhe girane ka badla liya.
He was about to move out but Mubashira hurriedly swam towards Zaid, her hand gripping one of his shoulders tightly. Zaid felt a delicate shiver race down his spine and hit his hand in the water causing a loud splash. Mubashira,s heart quickened it's pace as she stumbled backwards slightly, her wide eyes searching his.
Zaid pl..
Mujhe itni takleef Kyun ho rahi hai?
Zaid cut her off, his voice weak with doubt.
Matlab????
She asked, her eyes searched his as the world around them seemed to blur into insignificance.
Zaid held one of her tight shoulders and spoke, his voice quivering slightly
Tumhein uske sath dekh ker mujhe takleef kyun hui?
Mubashira,s eyes welled up with tears as she searched his eyes and there she saw the hidden affection and hurt in the depths of his gaze. Her heart raced in her chest.
I know jaisa dikha waisa kuch nahin tha but still bahot bura laga mujhe. Mujhe takleef hui thi.
These words trembled out of his mouth, a confession full of vulnerability which seemed to warm her heart and it made her heart ache at the same time.
Nahin honi chahiye na?
He asked locking eyes with hers.
Mubashira couldn't help the tears that escaped her eyes and reached out, her delicate hands cradling his face with an overwhelming mixture of tenderness and affection that seemed to take his breath away. His eyes automatically fluttered close as he basked into the warmth of her touch.
Zaid main biwi hoon tumhari. Mujh per haq hai tumhara.
She spoke and reached out. She planted her lips on his forehead and let her lips linger there in a moment of tender connection. His heart quickened it's pace syncing with hers. His breath hitched.
When she pulled back, her hands still cradling his face. He opened his eyes and their eyes locked.
Zaid tum meri mohabbat ho. Meri chahat ho. Aur main sirf tumhari hoon. Meri zindagi mein sirf tum ho, sirf tum aur koi nahin, kahhi nahin.
She said, her voice trembling with sincarity and Zaid smiled softly, his eyes crinkling at the corners as their foreheads touched.
