❝You married me for a mere revenge?❞ Her lips quivered as she looked at her husband for whom she fell harder. Though his down casted gaze told her the truth, she preferred to hear a lie from him for she was ready to believe his every lie like she di...

"You write poetries?"
Shyan felt paralyzed at the question. How should he answer this question? He turned to his father-in-law and smiled, hiding his nervousness.
"Accha! Mujhe ek shayari sunao phir, (Really? I'd like to hear your poetry then)" Abdul-Rehman's excited eyes were doing wonders on Shyan. From the moment they met, the old man was so happy and approachable - the exact opposite of how he usually was with others. Hell! He never looked this calm with his Shehzadi even!
"It takes time," Shyan didn't met the latter's eagle like eyes.
Abdul-Rehman smiled widely at that, "I've time." Analyzing Shyan's face, he uttered, "Ashiqui."
The latter looked at him in dread, "What?"
Watching the effect of the name on Shyan, Abdul-Rehman explained, "I'd like to hear a shayari about Ashiqui."
"Aasaan naheen yahaan aashiq ho jaanaa Palkon pe kaanton ko sajaanaa Aashiq ko miltee hain gham ki saugaatein Sabko na miltaa ye khazaanaa
(It's not easy to be a lover here To adorn thorns on eyelids A lover get gifts of sorrows Not everyone gets this treasure)"
As soon as he finished, Abdul-Rehman made a smile which barely reached his eyes. "Ashiqui 2 was the film, right?"
Annoyed with the awkwardness, Shyan gritted out, "Yes, I guess." His annoyance knew no limit when the old man pronounced the name again. To his surprise, this time, the man actually pronounced his fear.
"Ashiqui Sultan- Do you know him?"
"I think I heard the name from Zoya," Shyan lied.
Abdul-Rehman nodded before opening his jacket. Taking some photographs from his pocket, he gave one of them to Shyan who was looking at the picture dumbfounded in which he was seen sitting on a rock with the Ashiqui Sultan near him.

"When will I fall for him?" Zoya wondered looking at their wedding picture. The man had made a confession about his love in front of her family but she hadn't. Ugh! She doesn't even have an idea how to recognise her feelings. People say you feel butterflies in your stomach at the sight of your love and here she is with a whole zoo partying inside her at his closeness. Five months passed since their wedding and she is still confused about her feelings! Can she be for real?
She looked up when the door to her room opened displaying her husband. The smile that adorned her lips soon changed into a gasp as she noticed the decorations her father made on her husband's face, "You got into a fight?"
