After struggling with different folders of files he yawn and rest his head on table.

"Doing job is better than is business, at least we get off for Sunday" he mumbled and closed his eyes, he just entered in the land of nod but the sleep was shortlived as the mobile started ringing.

"Yaar Sunday ko to sukun se rehne do... Ghar me chhote abbu ne nahi sone diya aur yaha ye mobile!" He mumbled and receives call.

(Dude at least let me stay peaceful on Sunday, chhote Abbu did not let me sleep in home and here is this mobile!)

"Hello" He received the call with closed eyes, and sighed.

"Yeah..."

"Hmm.. Its almost done, just finishing is left" He replied and cut the call

"Kya musibat hai yaar! Ghar me sab araam se bethe honge aur main yaha kaam kar raha hu" He mumbled and open a file while pulling an unpleasant face.

(Hell with these files! Everyone must be sitting comfortably in the house and I am working here)

"Even watchman is better than me! He has Sunday off" looking at the empty office he muttered with frustration and started working, because he wanted to reach home before evening.

After all he compiled his work and sigh with relief before stepping out from office. Poor him was supposed to visit his friend's home as all the boys wanted to watch their favourite films together but after marriage his priorities were changed.

Work and family's responsibility comes first for him, he was trying to prove himself that he wasn't a useless mess of Rizwi Family, he could bear up all the responsibilities of his home and family and he was getting success to a good extent.

Turning his bike left to reach home his gaze went to the famous sweet shop of their locality and he stopped bike to buy Samosas because his wife like them and Gulab Jamun because his sister love them. Rumi and Naail visits every Sunday to make whole environment more enjoyable.

Holding a tired smiled Anzala stepped in his home but the scene was quite different everyone was smiling and feeding sweets to each other.

"What's up?" He asked with curiosity and everybody looked towards him with happiness dancing on their faces.

"Mey par Nana Ban'ne wala hu" Abdul Gafoor Rizwi announced happily, and Anzala looked towards Rumi and Naail.

(in going to become grate grandfather)

"Oooo... That's why you all are having sweets" Anzala muttered looking at Rumi who nodded with a smile, he also smiled and went towards her mother who was holding the plate of sweets.

"Congratulations, Maizah told me last night." Anzala feed sweets to Rumi and Naail.

"What? Maizah already told you? We're supposed to surprise you but Maizah spoil the whole surprise!" Rumi huffed while making a pout.

"Congratulations to you too" Naail gave a piece of sweet in Anzala's mouth and he pulled Rumi's cheek.

"Rumu aapi in so Happy" Anzala said with full of enthusiasm, he was literally on ninth cloud that he was going to become 'Mama' (Maternal Uncle.)

" Oo chudail..., jaldi aa" Anzala yelled and everyone glare him.

(Hey witch... Come fast)

"Aww... See Naail, how exited he is!" Rumi show her husband and all the others nodded happily.

"At least now stop calling her like this" Momina scolded Anzala who ignored that, as he listen same instruction at least thrice a day.

"Excited! I'm not excited but over excited! And Why wouldn't be I? After all I'm going to become Mama (Maternal uncle)..." Anzala said happily and everyone looked towards him with dropped jaw.

"You're excited because you're going to become Mama (Maternal uncle)?" Gul asked and Anzala nodded.

"Anzala bhai.. I and Afnaan are going to become Mama (Maternal uncle)" Adnaan corrected and Anzala looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Of course! Rumi aapi is your sister too... You're also going to become Mama" Anzala replied and everyone smack their forehead.

"Abba Ban'ne waale ho ab to koi samajhdaari ki baat kar lo" Gul Bano slap Anzala's head before saying so and he was numb for a couple of moment and just gawking at everyone's face.

(You're going to become father, at least now start showing some wisdom)

"Kya??

Kon??

Main??

Nahi to!"

(What??

Who??

Me??

No way!)

Anzala asked to his mother and she nodded with a smile.

"Yes.. You" She replied and Anzala's lips converted into a grin, he convered his mouth with his hand and looked everywhere to find out Maizah who was no where.

"Choti Ammi really?" Anzala asked and Gul nodded with a big smile.

"You mean chudail is... Oh my God" He run towards his room and open the door suddenly. Dangling his legs Maizah was sitting on the corner of bed, her cheeks were showing crimson shade due to shyness.

"Mazi" Anzala went towards her and she smiles with lower gaze.

"What they all are saying?" Anzala asked and she smiled only.

"Chudail I can't believe" Anzala said while sitting beside her and she hugged him.

Maizah didn't even had idea about her pregnancy, but since few days she was feeling little bit sick and weak, and when she told that to her mother-in-law she immediately send her to doctor who announced about her pregnancy giving a new reason of happiness to everyone.

"I'm also in disbelief" she muttered and Anzala smiled sheepishly

"Mazi don't you think we're very young to become parents? Yaar we're only 22" He scratches his back with a nervous smile on his face and Maizah break the hug.

"You should think about this before!" She rolled her eyes and she smirked

"But I'm so happy" He replied and Maizah kissed his cheek before sprawling on bed, Anzala also lay down beside her placing his head on her arm.

"Anzu ab dekh... Pure 8 mahine mene bhi Ammi or badi Ammi se in 22 salo ka badla na liya to mera bhi naam Maizah nahi... Mood swing ke naam par apne dil ki sari baate bool dungi... Jo khana hoga wo mangwaungi craving ke naam par... Jaha jana hoga waha jaungi... Kisi ki koi baat nahi manungi, kitna maza ayega na!" Maizah said dreamily lifting her hand in air to receive Hifi from Anzala but he rolled his eyes.

(Anzu now wait and watch, change my name if I won't take every single revenge of these 22 years in just upcoming 8 months... I'll draw out all my anger and frustration on the name of mood swings, I'll eat everything I like on the name of craving... I'll do what make me happy.... It will be fun.. Won't it?)

"Yaar ladki hona kitna achha hai na.. Na office jaana, na clients se deal karna, Na koi responsibility... Aur pregnant ho jao to bonus care..."

(It is so nice to be a girl, no need to go to office, nor to deal with clients, nor to have any responsibility… and if become pregnant then bonus care from everyone…)

"Being a boy is easier than being a girl! No worried about period pain, no responsibility of kitchen, no taunts of family that she has to go other home after marriage and there isn't any chance of getting pregnant so you people can't understand this pain of girls." Maizah rolled her eyes and Anzala turned his side, then was completely facing her.

"Boys also face problems, if boys like to stay at home people say them lazy" Anzala said like a defeated one and Maizah rolled her eyes.

"At least boys get permission to go everywhere, here we girls stay at home all the time" She said like an angry statement which made Anzala angry too.

"Girls are always papa's princess! They get everything what they want" Sitting suddenly on the bed he said with full of anger and Maizah glare him sitting in front of him.

"And what about boys? They are mummy's dear! They got what ever they want! No one stop boys to roam on roads after sunset but we girls..." Maizah was shouting on Anzala when he also started shouting in defence of boys.

The girl and boys debate was going on like their relationship was dependent on that, with every passing minute the debate was becoming densed.

" Maizah... Anzala.. What are you doing?" Gul Bano almost yelled when she witnessed both of them quarrelling. Not only quarrelling but they were on the enge of starting pillow fight which was first step of their WWE.

"Tum dono Pagal ho gaye ho kya?" Gul Bano asked angrily and they both glare each other.

(Have you both become mad?)

"Chhoti Ammi your daughter is arguing with me"

"No Ammi... I haven't start but he did" Maizah defence herself and both were glaring each other.

"What's wrong with you? When will you start behaving like a married couple? Instead of being happy for this good news you both are still busy in your fighting" Gul shouted on both of them and their facial expressions quietened towards each other!

"Ammi I was so happy but he started th..." Maizah was mumbling innocently when Gul Glare her which stopped her in between.

"Come downstairs after some time" Ordering that Gul turned to go and they both glare each other, Maizah slap Anzala's arm and got a slap in return, that sweet voices grabbed Gul Bano's attention and she turned to glare both of them and their hands stopped in air which were ready to slap each other.

"Ammi see he is again arguing with me" Maizah come towards her mother while running and hide herself behind Gul.

"Carefully... Now your condition is not supporting you to run like this" Gul scolded Maizah who huffed again.

"Careful!! Huh.. She doesn't have word in her dictionary!" Anzala taunt and Maizah glare him as so Gul.

"Agar ab tum dono lade na to agle 8 mahino ke liye tum dono ke room alag alag kar dungi" Gul scolded both of them and left the room after throwing one more deadly look on them.

(If both of you will fight again, then for the next 8 months I will separate the rooms of both of you.)

"Idiot" Saying that Maizah lay down on bed, her cheeks were showing the amount of anger gathering in her, Anzala looked at her and sighed.

"Pagal Chudail"

(Idiot Witch)

Mumbling the same he took step towards bed and sat down beside her.

"Ab gussa mat ho na" Pinching her cheek he said and she glared him.

(Now don't be angry)

"Gussa to tu hi dilata hai" She pushed away his hand with disappointment but in her childish way.

(You make me angry)

"Achha na sorry" He apologies and she smiled. Anzala leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"Maizah I'm still in disbelief" He whispered while removing his lips from her forehead and placed them on her soft cheek making her smile with full of shyness.

"Are you happy?" she looked right in his eyes before questioning in hushed tone, and was still hovering over her by placing his both hands on her either sides.

"Yes" he blinked with a smile and she felt more shy which turned her cheek red which made Anzala smile. "I'm very happy" He whispered before kissing his nose tip making her heart run fast as she was expecting next strike of his lips would be for her soft plump one but something unexpected incidents take place.

Embracing her in his arms he brushed his lips againt hers before saying "I" Anzala said gently taking away the breath from her.

"Love" He whispered near her lips making her heart jump in different rhythm.

''Maizah... Anzala.. Come here'' The loud call from downstairs made them startled, Anzala suddenly scoot towards door and Maizah sat down on bed trying to understand what happened in just a few seconds, she looked towards Anzala who was standing near door, busy in scratching his nape.

"Coming" He yelled loudly before locking the door and turning towards Maizah who was sitting on the bed with dangling legs.

"We can't get a few private moments in this home" Anzala muttered and look towards his wife. Holding a smile on his face he kneeled down in

front of her and placed his both hands on her knees. Both keep watching in each others eyes and Anzala lightly smiled while holding her both hands and kissed the back of her palm making her blush.

"I love you" He whispered and Maizah smiled with happiness. That wad the first time when he confessed his love by using those three words but...

"I too love you so much" she replied and Anzala narrowed his eyes...

"What?? Have I said that I love you??" He asked making Maizah confused on his question.

"What" She asked with confusion

"I love him or her.... Not you chudail" gesturing towards her belly Anzala winked making her jaw drop

"I love you baby" Kissing her belly he said and Maizah keep watching him without saying anything. Anzala was expecting a slap or any type of reaction which will show her offended nature but she didn't show any reaction.

"Anzala... Maizah... How much time you need to come downstairs?" they both listen and Maizah made her way to downstairs.

"Mazi" Anzala call her but she ignored while taking step ahead.

"Who take this much time to come?" Momina scolded both Maizah and Anzala.

"Come Maizah help me in setting dining table" Maizah nodded on Momina's instruction while going towards kitchen, but Her smile was offended with her.

"Ammi are you making her work in this condition!" Anzala asked after entering in kitchen on which Gul and Momina looked at each other then chuckled.

"Aww... My son-in-law takes care of my daughter so well" Gul awed while pulling Anzala's cheek like he was a lil boy

Actually he was...

Not by his age but by his playful nature...

"We're not giving her any difficult work, she's just transferring food in serving dishes." Momina explained and Anzala looked towards Maizah who was expressionlessly working.

"Mazi what happened?" Anzala asked and she ignored

"Mazi, tell me what happened?" Anzala again asked

"Nothing" She mumbled and stepped out from the kitchen holding dishes in both hands.

Everyone was asking about Maizah's silence while having dinner but she didn't reply. Everyone was watching her with confusion but then let that thought go as that wasn't new in between Anzala and Maizah.

==============

"Mazi if you are not fine I will take you to doctor" Anzala whispered while checking her temperature which was completely fine. Maizah glare him and pushed his hand away.

"What's your problem?" He asked but Maizah stay silent.

'Is she become mad?' he asked himself and think for few minutes. Glaring Maizah's back he turned his back towards her and picked his mobile before Googling 'Can pregnancy cause madness?'

"Hmm... So it means no one can become mad due to pregnancy but can be depressed" He mumbled and nodded on his own statement.

"Is she trying to Grab my attention by doing all these things?" He mumbled but then rolled his eyes

'This Chudail can't behave like a typical wife!' his heart yelled and he turned to see her.

Maizah was trying to act that she was sleeping peacefully but Anzala knew she was awake. Switching off the lights he lay down beside her placing his head on her pillow.

"Why your mood is off?" Anzala asked and wrapped his arm around her waist from behind, but Maizah free herself and throw his hand away.

"Stay away" she said with anger and Anzala narrowed his eyes.

"Mazi why are you behaving like this? I'm literally roaming around you but you're not even replying" Anzala came out with anger and Maizah looked towards him, she tried to glare him but her eyes started twinkling with the shine of tears.

"Why are you literally roaming around me Anzala? Who am I for you?" Maizah asked and sat down on bed while wiping her tears, Anzala was surprised on her sudden burst out.

"Maizah..."

"What Maizah? I'm nothing but an enjoyment material for you!" she sniffle with disappointment and throw the pillow on floor to drew out her anger. She was continously crying and glaring him and he was confused on his sudden change in behaviour.

" will you tell me about your problem or Do you need any psychological help?" He asked with frustration and Maizah glare him.

"Yeah I need psychological help because now I can't afford to live with you anymore" Maizah said and Anzala glare her

"Maizah I'm tired now" He yelled as he was unable to handle her offended nature anymore.

"Yeah... I already know! You're tired of me because you don't love me Anzala." This time Maizah didn't shouted but only mumbled and stepped out from bed.

"Mazi tu pagal wagal to nhi ho gayi hai na?"

(Mazi have you lost your mind?)

"Abhi tak to Pagal nahi hui hu, magar tere sath agr kuch din aur rahi to Pagal ho jaungi... Shayad ghut ghut kar Mar bhi jau" Maizah yelled and step towards the door Anzala was confused on her behaviour as well as feeling angry too.

(I Haven't gone mad yet, but if I stay with you for a few more days, I will become mad for sure... I might even die with this suffocation.)

"Mazi hua kya hai kuch batayegi? Hum dono kitna khush the phir achanak kya hua?"

(Mazi Will you tell me what has happened with you? How happy we both were, then what happened all of a sudden?)

"Nothing happened suddenly. I'm noticing for long time. Anzu if you don't have space for me in your heart then why are you playing with my heart and feelings? In college time I love you was your pet dialogue which you use to say to every next girl, but here you don't love me." Maizah asserted with full of rage and stepped out front the room but Anzala only smack his forehead.

" Oh my god... Just for not saying I love you she is reacting like this!" He muttered and went after Maizah who was going towards her parents room while wiping her tears with her palms

"Mazi... Listen" He try to stop her but couldn't

"Maizah.."

She entered in her parent's room without any knock and they both were surprised to witness their daughter crying.

"Maizah come here" Aasif said and Maizah hugged her mother.

"Mazi why are you creating a scene?Lets go to room" Anzala also entered in the room but Gul bano and Aasif glare him

"What you have done Anzala?" Aasif inquired Anzala while Gul Bano hugged Maizah , caressing her head and glaring Anzala.

"Chhoti Ammi its nothing serious, your daughter is over reacting" Anzala said innocently.

"Maizah you tell me what happened?" Aasif asked, caressing her head but she didn't replied and glare Anzala.

"Anzala Maizah tell us about whole matter" Gul demanded and they both looked at each other. But how could they tell elders that they were arguing because Anzala never said I love you to his wife.

"Chhote abbu, Chhoti Ammi it's our personal matter we will handle it" Anzala said and held Maizah's hand "Let's go to the room" He pleaded but Maizah jerk his hand. Gul Bano and Aasif both looked towards each other, trying to understand the matter but that was impossible. Gul gave a sign to Aasif to leave the room as she knew Maizah won't talk about her problem in front of her father. Aasif throw one more deadly glare at his son-in-law "Anzala mend your ways, if my daughter won't be happy with you then I'll forget that you're my brother's son" That was a clear threatening from Aasif .

"Since childhood its happening, no matter whoever do mistakes, scoldings always come in my side" Anzala replied and Aasif left the, not before throwing a deadly glare at him.

"Now tell me what happened?" Gul asked and Maizah break the hug.

"Ammi he doesn't love me" Maizah said while crying and pointing out towards Anzala

"What he have done?" Gul asked and Maizah shook her head.

"Nothing, but he doesn't love me" she replied while crying.

"If he haven't done anything then what is the meaning of this crying?" Gul asked and this time Anzala took a step ahead

"Chhoti Ammi I didn't said I love you which made her angry." Gul said and Maizah glare him.

"Maizah, is there any other matter?" Gul asked and she shook her head. Anzala grabbed his wife's hand and pulled her with himself.

"Carefully Anzala" Gul yelled as Anzala was literally dragging Maizah along himself but they both were already entered in their room.

"Gul What's the matter?" Aasif entered in the room and asked with worried voice but Gul Bano jerk her head and lay down on bed after switching off the lamp.

"Gul will you tell me something?" Aasif was amazed by the careless behaviour of his wife

" Nothing important, your daughter is showing her tantrums to her husband" Gul Bano replied but Aasif shook his head

"Gul she was crying! There is something serious!" He emphasise on each and every word but Gul covered herself with blanket and turned towards her husband.

"Adjust the temperature... Its getting very cold" She said and Aasif looked at his wife, who had literally made everyone mad due to her crying after Maizah and Anzala's marriage.

"Gul tumhe Maizah ki bilkul fikr nhi hai?" Aasif asked with disappointment and Gul rolled her eyes

(Gul you're so careless about Maizah)

"Anzala Sambhal lega use, aap meri fikr kariye aur mujhe sone dijiye" Gul Bano said while yawning and Aasif felt angry at her

(Anzala will handle her. You please take care of me and let me take rest)

"Anzala ki wajah se hi to meri beti ro rahi thi, wo kya sambhale ga use? Main abhi jaa raha hu Maizah ko lene" Aasif said and Gul again open her eyed.

(How Anzala will take care of Maizah... Don't you know my daughter was crying due to him only. I am going to take Maizah with me right now)

"Beeth jaiye yaha..." that was an overbearing order from a wife

(Sit down here)

"Gul kesi baate karti ho? Maizah meri beti hai, aise kese chhod sakta hu use?" A fatherly concern was peeping out from the words which came out of Aasif's mouth

(Gul what are you saying? Maizah is my daughter, how can I leave her like this? "

"Anzala uska shohor hai, dono mil kar apna masla hal kar lenge... Wese bhi un dono ke masle me boolne ka matlab hai apna sir diwaar par maarna, wo apni marzi se ladte hain Apni marzi se theek ho jaate hain... Hum log beech main bol Kar Pagal bante hain." Gul rolled her eyes and Aasif was amazed at her careless statement

(Anzala is her husband, they both sort out their matter by themselves! Otherwise also interfering in their matter is like to cast pearls before swine. They argue with their own will and become fine with their own will, we become mad after interfering in their matter)

"Gul Are you serious? "

" Of course I'm"

"Then you take rest I'm going to check my daughter" Aasif spoke with anger and move towards the door but stopped in between.

"Aasif sahab Pagal mat baniye... Wo isi ghar me hai Iska matlab ye nahi hai ki aap kabhi bhi muh utha kar uske room me chale jayenge, ab uski shadi ho chuki hai... Use agar hamari Zarurat hogi to Dobara aa jayegi, aap so jaiye aur meherbani hogi, mujhe bhi sone dijiye... Agle 8 maheno tak, aapki laadli to ab koi kaam kaaj karegi nhi Sara kaam mujhe hi Karna hoga." Saying that Gul shut her eyes and soon she was consumed by slumber

(Mr Aasif Rizwi don't behave like a fool if your daughter lives in this house that does not mean that you will go to her room at any time. Now She is married, if she will need us she'll come again now go take rest and do some mercy on me, let me sleep... For the next 8 months, your daughter is not going to do any work, only I have to do all the work.)

But poor Aasif was restless because of his daughter without knowing what was going on in her bedroom.

"Mazi tu sach me Pagal hai kya?" Locking the door he asked and she tries to push him to step out of the room.

(Mazi are you really mad?)

"Don't talk to me and let me go from here." She grit her teeth and Anzala held her by her arms, but she tried to make herself free from his grip.

"Mazi yaar don't wiggle like this! Tell me what happened?" Anzala knew what she wanted but still asked.

"Come here" He dragged her to bed and held her both hands.

"I don't want to Talk to you"

"Why do you think that I don't love you?" Anzala asked when Maizah was looking offended and she was crying, he held her both hands but she looked away.

"What is love for you?" Anzala asked and this time Maizah glanced at him.

"What?" she asked with confusion.

"Saying I love you is the definition of love for you? Really?" Anzala asked and Maizah's anger decreased.

"Then what is love?" She asked and he pulled her in a warm hug.

"I love you are just three words, not emotions... Yaar I use to say I love you to many girls, if I would say the same words to you then what will be the difference between you and them... I don't feel emotions in these words..." Anzala explain and Maizah tries to free herself from him but couldn't

"Then what is love for you," She asked with anger. Anzala smiled and Encircling his arms around her waist. he pulled her closer and kissed her forehead, "This is love for me" he whispered and she tries to free herself but he didn't let her go.

"Idiot... Those three words are not our love, but This is our love..." Placing his hand on her belly he whispered making her anger flew away and a smiled took over her dull lips, but she managed to glare at him

"It means you won't say me those three words ever?" She asked and somehow free herself from his grip.

"Oh my god..." Anzala mumbled and held her both hands.

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

Anzala said in a single breath and exhaled loudly, Maizah keeps watching him without saying anything.

"Are you happy now?" Anzala asked but she still wanted to show her tantrums.

"I'm not going to become a typical mad husband who will say I love you now and then... Today I have filled the requirement of while life." Saying that Anzala pulled her cheek and switched off the light.

"Now why are you sitting on my head? Come on, it's sleeping time" Saying that he adjusted himself in bed and pulled his wife to sleep, though she didn't want to obey. Anzala pulled her in a hug.

"Kesi paaglo wali baate sochti hai tu" Kissing her forehead he mumbled and shut his eyes without knowing what his wife was thinking.

(Such an idiot you're)

"Anzu"

"Bol chudail" Without opening his eyes he mumbled.

(Say, witch)

"Do you love me?" she asked like a little girl with curiosity and he sighed.

"Why you're thinking that I do not love you?" Anzala asked seriously and Maizah's eyes filled with tears.

"Because neither you confess your love nor you give me gifts." She mumbled and Anzala wiped her tears.

"Maizah why do you want to make our life so dull... Yaar try to understand we're not like normal married couples, we are enjoying our life with one another. I try to come back soon from the office so that I can tease you and fight with you, I haven't been spending time with anyone else besides you... yaar if it does not love then I can't love you" This time Anzala reply very seriously and shut his eyes, he was trying to sleep which wasn't easy at all. After some half-hour, Maizah thought he was fast asleep so she slowly crept towards him and placed her head on his pillow. She understood that Anzala also loves her but didn't want to show that she wasn't offended anymore. Anzala was able to feel that bounce on his pillow. Without opening his eyes he envelops his arm around her waist.

"Good night.." he mumbled makiing her realise that he was awake

"I've to admit that you are very jungle (uncivilised)" she said and Anzala open only one eye before smirking

"Thanks for praising" He nurtured and again close his eye but Mazi made a pout. 'you have made me jealous with every next girl... Now it's my turn" Maizah smirk in her mind

"Anzu I don't love you"

"Why you didn't tell me before? I'd many options...." he replied with closed eyes and Maizah slap him.

"Tu nhi sudhrega" she shows her anger

(you won't change)

"Kabhi Bhi nahi" He replied arrogantly and Maizah slap him again but he pulled her in his arms and kissed her lips giving her a shock all of sudden

(Never)

"Don't do all these things, right now I'm not in mood" Ordering that he again shut his eyes and soon he was consumed by slumber. Maizah couldn't help but hugged him to sleep

"I love you" she whispered

"Sooja. Kya I love you ki tasbi parh rahi hai" He muttered with frustration and Maizah was confused about what should she do

(Sleep now... Why I I've you are becoming your pet dialogue?)
