They slept till late, knackered from last night. Her bare self against his bare self. He woke up a while ago and gazed at her sleeping against his chest carelessly, he admired her and prayed for their unity. She stirred in her sleep as he watched. Her eyes slowly opened, she saw his admiring face and smiled. The smile turned into utter shock as realisation had hit her.
She jerked up grabbing the bedsheet with her, covering her and turned her face the other way. The instant jerk had caused her some abdominal pain. "Ah tssss." She hissed.
Zaakir shifted closer to her running a hand over her lower back to soothe her "Are you ok Jaan?".
"Hmm.. yeah uh yeah.. I'm fine umm" she said moving slightly away from his touch gripping the sheet closer to herself. He moved back slightly, disliking her distancing, after last night he thought maybe they had overcome all boundaries, maybe they didn't after all.
(you ok love?)
He thought again to himself, maybe she was just shy from last night. He moved back throwing on a pair of bottoms, to look appropriate. He came in front of her, who now sat at the end of the mattress, legs hanging, head hung low and and the still tight grip on the bedsheet. He knelt on the floor to her height. He saw her weeping face, silent tears dropping from her lashes. "Jaan kya hua?" he received silence. "Did I do something wrong?..are you hurt?" again silence. He held her chin gently tilting her face up "Agar aap humein batayengi nahi toh hum kuch hal nahi karsaktey..speak to me jaan". He held her free hand, encouraging her to speak.
(What happened love?)
(if you don't tell me how will we mend things?)
"Woh..woh mujhey.." she began to speak
(i..I'm...)
"Jee bolein" he said when he saw her going silent again.
(yeah speak)
"Mujhey dar lagraha hai" she said quickly, dropping her head down again in shame.
(I'm scared)
"Kis baat se?..kal raat se?" he asked calmly, trying to sound as normal as he could.
(about what?..last night?)
She nodded in response.
"It's ok..ismeh darney ki koi baat nahi. It's natural..aur humarey beech me yeh jayiz hai jaan..and it was beautiful" he planted a kiss on the back of her hand.
(It's ok..there's nothing to be scared. It's natural and it was beautiful between us)
She looked up at him with concern in her eyes. "Aap badal tho nahi jayenge na?" she asked out the fear she felt. She thought maybe last night things had gotten too far, it may bring change for the wrong.
(What if you change?)
He was relieved to now have figured out her behaviour. "Badal tho me gaya hu" he said mischievously and sat up next to her on the bed.
(I have changed)
"Kya?" she said with her eyes widen in horror.
(what?)
"Of course, mohabat joh hogayi hai apsey" he said kissing her cheek.
(of course, because I'm in love with you now)
She felt relief wash over her and leaned into him, finding comfort for herself. "I'm sorry ..I don't know why I got scared ..I shouldn't have" she said more to herself.
He stroked her head "shshs..It's ok...Ok let's go get ready now, we already woke up very late. Can you do that for me?" she nodded and smiled whilst he helped her stand up. She stood and saw the bed and her face widened in shock. "Yh..yeh kya hai" she said looking at the dried fluid and blood stains on the bed. "Don't worry about it" he said and bought her to the washroom holding her by the shoulders.
(This,,what is this?)
He filled the bath with hot water "this too hot?" he asked her as he dipped her hand in the bath slightly. "This is nothing, this is lukewarm..rukiye me karti hu" she turned the tap to almost maximum temperature. "That's better" she said.
(this is nothing, this is lukewarm..wait let me do it)
He looked at her amused, still clueless as to how someone bathes in such hot water "Jal tho nahi jaogi?" he asked. "Bilkul bhi nahi..chalein abh aap jayeh" she ordered. He was amused to as how fast she transformed to her normal confident self. "Kyu? mujhe bhi tho nahana hai" he said acting serious. "Tang na kareinnn" she whined. He laughed, kissed he forehead and left.
(You sure you won't burn yourself?)
(Not at all..ok now you go)
(Why? I want to shower too)
(Stoppppp stop pestering me)
