Chapter 50
Sinaan woke up feeling well rested, even though he had little sleep. Adar was in his arms, sleeping peacefully. A smile came on his lips as he ran a hand over her hair. He pressed a soft kiss on the top of her head and closed his eyes in bliss. Sometimes, it shocked him how easy touching and caring was when it came to Adar. He had thought that it was going to be a conscious effort, but it seemed like he only needed to allow himself the pleasure of her nearness.
-------------------
With passing time, Sinaan made sure that he spent a good amount of time with her daily.Adar felt like she was on top of the world, his care, even his gaze on her made her feel blessed and happy!
She was sitting on the bed, reading a book as Sinaan was busy on his laptop. Sinaan's phone rang, he picked it up seeing Miraan was calling.
After greetings, Sinaan asked him about when would he come to Karachi. He planned to hang out with Miraan.
"I will be there in 2 3 days, Chashman's classes are going to start from next week. " Miraan informed him and Sinaan's eyes went to his beautiful wife, who was sitting there reading a book.
"Oh! "Sinaan talked for a few more minutes and then ended the call. His mind was on something else completely now . Adar lifted her eyes, feeling his eyes on her.
"Come here, Adar" Sinaan called her. She got up at once, and came to him. He made her sit near him. "Have you completed your inter ?" Miraan asked.
Adar frowned, not knowing what brought that question up.
" Yes..... When we went to my father's place, Ammi told me that i have passed with the first division" Adar informed him, a small happy smile touched her lips as she shared her accomplishment with him. The time when her mother had told her this, she was so mentally disturbed that it didn't even brought a smile on her face.
"That's good, would you like to study further ?" Sinaan asked touching her hair softly. Her silky black hair always fascinated him, but then there wasn't a thing which he didn't love about her.
Adar's mouth fell open not believing what she was hearing. When she got married, she didn't have any hope that her husband would let her study further, as she knew they didn't believe in educating the girls a lot. Men were sent abroad to complete their studies, but girls were hardly even permitted to complete college.
"Will I be allowed ?" Adar asked softly looking at him with her hopeful eyes. A smile touched his lips" why won't you be?" he placed a kiss on her lips.
"Tell me what you want to do your bachelors in, I will take care of everything." Adar wrapped her arms around him in excitement" You are the best" Sinaan chuckled hearing the enthusiasm in her voice. Sinaan wondered why hadn't he thought about it before.
--------------
Next day, Sinaan called Miraan asking about the university Chashman was going to take admission in, he planned to enroll Adar in that university also so that there would be someone on campus with her.
"I think the classes of BS has already begun, it might be a bit difficult to get her enrolled now. "Miraan said thoughtfully.
" I will take care of it.Sinaan said not caring much as he knew that power spoke louder than rules there. " Anyways, if it comes to terrorizing them, I will call you " Sinaan half joked.
Next Sinaan called Adar's father and made sure that her documents would be sent to them by tomorrow.
-----------------------------
By the weekend, everything was settled. Both couples met at Miraan's place on Saturday night. Adar and Chashman already liked each other, it didn't take them long to become friends. Chashman really adored the girl with doll like looks.
Sinaan had already prepared everything, Adar would need for university. On Monday morning, Adar was feeling very nervous. She was rubbing her hands together continuously.
"Don't be nervous, hmm?"Sinaan patted her cheek in a comforting manner. Adar moved closer as she placed her forehead on his chest, closing her eyes.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. You can call me, or bhabi if anything worries you. I have saved all the numbers in your cell" Sinaan said pointing towards the new phone he had bought for her. Adar nodded softly, she knew her nervousness was irrational.
Thankfully, Chashman had also arrived by the time they pulled over. Chashman took over seeing how nervous Adar was. She already had the map of the university in her phone. She first took Adar to English department, helped her find her class and then went to her own department.
The day went better than Adar was expecting, the class representative helped her know the schedule and gave the material, she would need to cover as she had joined the class a month later than other students.
------------------
Chashman felt something weird going in her class, it was the first day, she couldn't understand why every male student was treating her as if she was diseased. Even many of the girls looked away if there eyes met hers.
At night when Chashman told Miraan about it, She only got an "oh" in return. Chashman didn't think more about it, as Miraan started distracting her with kisses all over her face and neck.
"What are you doing ?" Chashman asked chuckling as he ran his nose over her collarbone. " Enjoying my wife!!!! what else is there to do ..mmm" Miraan teased her as Chashman laughed more.
Epilogue
As days passed, it became more and more clear to Chashman. It was fear which was keeping her classmates away from her. If Chashman approached anyone one of them, they talked politely, but only a few girls had tried to be her friends or get to know her.
Chashman was pacing the room , when Miraan returned home. She narrowed her eyes as soon as her eyes fell on him.
"What have you done to scare them all ?" Chashman asked through clenched teeth.
Miraan rubbed the back of her neck and then gave a toothy grin" I just let them know who you are " he moved closer to her, trying to lessen her anger with his playfulness.
"And who am I to be so scared of ?" Chashman lifted an eyebrow.
"My wife "Miraan's grin went broader and Chashman didn't know if she wanted to smack him or cry.
She turned away, trying to control her anger. Miraan wrapped his arm around her waist slowly, not loosing his grip as Chashman wiggled to get free.
"I love you and you are my wife!" Miraan stated as if she could ever forget.
Chashman sighed deeply and then turned towards him." Miraan, let alone boys, even girls hardly ever talk to me.." she shared her problem.
"you said that there were two girls who had befriended you " Miraan asked.
" Yes, they are the only ones, who dare to talk to me without looking ready to faint." Chashman pursed her lips. A smile came on his lips as he pulled her in his arms.
" Muhnjo sohnri zaal( my beautiful wife ), its for your security also. When there's fear, people hardly try to cross you. I don't want anyone harming you to get back on me" Miraan said, he had made sure that she was well protected even in campus. He had access over all the cameras in university, there was a person always keeping an eye on her through it.
Chashman decided to let it go, in the past days, she had watched him go out late at night, to do dark things, scary things. She sometimes asked him about where he went, and he always told her the truth keeping the gruesome details to himself and Chashman also preferred it this way.
---------------------------------
Adar sat on the bed finally done with her assignment. Sinaan was sitting on the sofa working on his laptop, he seemed to prefer doing as much work from home as he could, so that he could spend more time with her.
Sinaan saw her stretching her legs, she looked tired. Adar eyes went on him feeling his stare, she blushed slightly feeling his molten gaze on her. His beard was scruffier, he hadn't fixed it in 2 days. He was looking hotter than usual with his intense work mode on.
" Adar! come here " he called, she herself sat near him, knowing that would be his next move.
He pulled in his side, wrapping his arm around her. "done with your work?" Sinaan asked as she snuggled closer , hiding her face in his shoulder , closing his eyes.
" Yes" she whispered enjoying his warmth. Sinaan smiled as he rubbed her forearm.
" Saeen, I was thinking if we could go to Meerpur ?" she asked barely moving a bit back to look at him. Her green hopeful eyes made it very difficult for him to deny.
He placed a kiss on her forehead." You will winter vacations. we can go then .." Sinaan said in a soft voice, as he placed her head back on his shoulder" okay?" he asked making sure that his denial didn't upset her.
" Okay" she whispered and closed her eyes again, smiling. She couldn't believe that it was the same guy who had made her cry so much. Sometimes, he got angry and it still scared her, but Sinaan made sure that he never hurt her even in his anger.
Adar woke up, with the feeling of being lifted. She was in Sinaan's arms as he took her to bed. Sinaan saw her sleep filled eyes open as he placed her on the bed. "Sleep" he whispered softly as he dimmed the lights and got into bed
Adar moved to his side, Sinaan smiled welcoming her closeness......
--------------------------
After 3 years,
Chashman was getting ready quickly, she needed to go to a campaign which was to support homeless children. As she headed downstairs, Saem rohero was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
" Ready?" He asked placing a hand on her head with parental affection. Chashman nodded as they headed outside. Chashman had started taking interest in social work, as she got to know more and more about the issues of people due to her political background. Rohero men also supported her as it also helped in placing a good impact on their political image. Miraan was a bit reluctant, because it meant she would be in public eye a lot, it also meant more danger.
But when Chashman convinced him, he agreed but also increased her security. She never went out without guards. Their married life was as beautiful as it was during the beginning of their wedding. Chashman still lost her temper sometimes, when Miraan bulldozed his way without asking her opinion, but the anger didn't stay for long and she always ended up feeling more affectionate towards him afterwards.
Chashman was expecting their first child, she was only 3 months along and Miraan was already thinking about making her take a break from all the campaigns and making her rest for the remaining months.
-----------------------------------
Adar and Sinaan lived in Karachi most of the time due to his work and her studies, but they went back home on every vacation. Haris was taking care of business in their hometown. Everything had fallen in sync with passing time. Any doubts, Adar had about their relationship shed away with time. Sinaan's every action proved that how much he valued her.
As Adar got ready for university and headed downstairs with Sinaan beside him, a smile was on his lips. The confident smiling girl, who was walking beside him was his whole world. The smile he loved so much, she gave it to him all the time and it never missed to skip his heartbeat. He loved it when he could see the smile in her eyes and then on her lips. Somewhere, he also knew that it was him, who was the reason of her smiles and it only made him prouder and more grateful. Life was beautiful, when the person you love is beside you.....
