Saad slapped her cheeks and kept calling her name, but she wasn't responding. Hearing his cries, Raabia peeked through one eye, she smiled watching him close to tears. He is apologizing and begging her to wake up. Crying he looked down and he froze. Raabia sat up covering her mouth and giggled. Saad gaped at her and his expressions became stern. He got up and Raabia stopped laughing instantly.
'What the hell, Raabia. You scared the shit out of me.' He scolded her. Also, he wiped his running nose with the back of his palm. Raabia stood up.
'It was a joke.' She reasoned.
'Whatever, it was not cool.' Saad said angrily. Raabia didn't realize he will get so serious. She felt guilty.
'I thought something happened to you. I thought I lost you, Damn it!' He scolded her further. Raabia's heart skipped a beat as he confessed his fear of losing her.
Saad exhaled loudly and looked at her, - 'I don't know about you, but I was serious when I said that I love you. I love you very much and when I thought you had...playing with my feelings wasn't cool. Raabia.' He said, his voice dropping. Raabia guiltier. Saad shook his head and looked away. Raabia bit her lower lip. Saad began walking away and she called after him. But he doesn't respond and keeps walking. Raabia slapped her forehead and cursed herself.
She kept tagging along trying to talk to him, but Saad kept ignoring her and walking ahead.
************************************
'Here!' She got two paper cups of black coffee and forwarded one to Saad. He looked at the cup briefly and then at Raabia. She smiled at him. Saad kept a frown on his face. Though he needed some warmth, he was really upset with Raabia fooling around with him. He slapped her hand away. Raabia gasped as the cup fell from her hand and the contents spilled on the snow.
Saad looked at her with his chin raised. Raabia shrugged and dropped her cup as well.
'What the hell!' Saad's mouth dropped open. Raabia smiled.
'If my dear husband isn't having coffee, I won't have to.' She said coolly. Saad shook his head and pointed out that all this will not melt him. He turned around and began walking again. Raabia exhaled loudly and began following him.
The rest of the time, Saad troubled Raabia. She kept trying to pacify him, but he was being adamant. Raabia was losing her patience but she knew she was at fault and must tolerate his tantrums.
************************************
Later that night, Saad sat by the fireplace and glared at the raging flames. He is still upset but slightly better because Raabia is guilty.
His trance is broken when there is a door-bell. He called for Raabia, but she is in the bathroom in the last one hour. Saad sighed and got up.
'Yes?' He asked the butler who stood carrying a tray filled with rose petals, the bucket of ice-cubes, two wine glasses, and one wine bottle.
'We haven't ordered this?' Saad doesn't recollect ordering all this.
'Uh-Madam Raabia Kaif has ordered.' Butler sounded little confused. Saad blinked at the man. Raabia doesn't drink then why has she ordered wine- Saad wondered. Nevertheless, he takes the tray from the butler.
As Saad places the tray on the table in front of the fireplace there is another bell. Saad scratched his head and walked to the door.
'Yes?' He greeted a short young butler.
'Mr. Saad Alam?'
'Yes.'
'For you.'
The butler forwarded him a bouquet of red, white and yellow roses. Saad is utterly confused. He nodded and took the bouquet. There is a note too.
He placed the bouquet next to the wine bottle and read the note.
Saad,
I am sorry. I was just having fun, but I somehow messed up.
I really love you, Saad. I love you very much
Raabia
Saad smiled, he melted with her gesture. He felt guilty thinking he was too harsh on her.
'Raabia! I got your note. Come out na, yaar.' He called happily. Soon, he heard the bathroom door unlock and he rushed to see her.
'What the...' Saad is speechless as he gaped at Raabia. He looked at her from top to bottom. She is dressed in black chiffon shirt, Saad could see a glimpse of her skin from underneath it, and a flary short skirt reaching little above her mid-thigh. Saad gulped eyeing her well-toned long legs. Her foot bare. He gazed up again noticing water droplets on her face and neck, her curls ruffled and looked sexily messy. Saad noticed she had applied blood red velvet lipstick making her otherwise thin lips appear fuller.
She smiled and walked towards him. Saad kept looking at her in a daze.
'So?' Raabia slowly wrapped her arms loosely around his neck and stared confidently into his eyes. Saad is still awestruck.
'My darling hubby liked the arrangements his wife made.' She spoke seductively. Saad could only nod his head.
Raabia smiled. She admired him closely, her gaze pausing on his parted lips briefly before looking up into his eyes again.
Raabia tiptoed and leaned closer, her lips hovering over his. All the while their gaze locked. She teased his lips with hers seductively before capturing his lower lips with hers. Saad watched her close her eyes and closed his eyes too. Their lips began to move in sync and Raabia felt butterflies. She was trying to confident and bold, but she is feeling jittery again. Slowly, she parted her lips more and their gentle kiss turned into passionate open mouth kiss.
Raabia giggled as Saad swiftly scooped her into his arms. She wrapped her arms around him as he expressed how much he loves her and everything she has done. Raabia is happy he has melted.
Saad made her sit on the carpet in front of the fire-place. Raabia folded her legs and watched him get the wine glasses and bottle.
'Cheers.' They clinked their glasses together.
'Are you sure about drinking?' Saad enquired. Raabia nodded.
'It is just red wine.' She replied. Saad smiled and threw his arm on the sofa. Raabia leaned back against the sofa and shifted closer. She rested her head on his shoulder and they drank silently.
After a while, Raabia noticed Saad eyeing her legs and she smiled.
'What are you looking at?' She asked moving her leg and placing one over the other. Saad quickly looked away.
'Nothing.' He lied not meeting her gaze. Raabia noticed his ears reddening and she smiled.
She moved her leg and placed her feet on his leg and he gasped, Raabia smirked. Saad turned his head and found her staring at him.
'You can look, hubby. You have the rights.' She winked at him and sensually caressed his leg with her feet. Saad is baffled seeing her bold avatar.
Raabia shifted and Saad's eyes widened as she straddled on his lap. She placed her glass on the ground and wrapped her arms loosely around his neck.
'I have another surprise for you.' She whispered huskily, and Saad gulped.
