Next day,

Faizaan woke up with the loud alarm. He sat up on the bed rubbing his eyes. He groaned realizing today is first day of work. He also must go to the railway station and book tickets for a weekend trip to Agra. He climbed down from the bed and bent down looking for his chappals.

'I will look for it.' he heard Amreen's voice and stood up straight. Amreen had just entered the room carrying his morning tea. Faizaan smiled on seeing two tea cups. He recollected how he had asked they will have their morning tea together. He is happy Amreen kept his words.

Amreen placed the tray on the dressing table, she kneeled beside the bed and peeped in. Faizaan watched her, as she checked under the bed, her hair fell to one side, exposing little of her back. Faizaan gulped as he gets a peek of her white skin. He quickly looked away, blushing.

'Here.' Amreen took out his chappals which had gotten deep inside under the bed.

'Thank you.' Faizaan said.

'You don't do it, I will.' Amreen hurried to him when she saw him pour tea.

'Arey, it is okay. I can do this.' Faizaan chuckled. Amreen didn't argue. Faizaan forwarded her a cup and took one for himself.

They sat together on the bed silently sipping their tea.

'Today is your first day at work. Nervous?' Amreen asked after a while. Faizaan took a sip and looked at her, 'Little.' He smiled.

'Don't worry, you will be fine.' Amreen said. Faizaan nodded.

'Amreen, why were you crying yesterday?' Faizaan asked out of curiosity and concern.

Amreen froze mid-way holding the tea cup to her lips. Faizaan looked at her, carefully watching her expression.

'I...I...was missing everyone from home.' Amreen lied not meeting his gaze. Amreen had never lied and so her expressions and body language gave away. Faizaan knew she is lying but he didn't press the matter. If she is lying, then she must not be comfortable sharing it with him.

Faizaan went into the bathroom for a shower while Amreen ironed his office clothes. She placed the crisp shirt and pant on the bed and smiled. Her husband will look very husband in this. She blushed imaging Faizaan wearing the lawyer's suit.

Just then the bathroom door opened and Faizaan emerged out.

Amreen gulped feeling nervous as she looked at her husband. Faizaan is having only a towel draped around his waist.

'My...clothes...'Faizaan said red faced. Amreen turned around blushing. Faizaan quickly took his clothes and dashed back into the bathroom. After hearing the door shut Amreen looked at the door. She blushed recollecting Faizaan's bare upper body.

Faizaan buttoned his sleeves and Amreen got him his handkerchief, scooter keys.

'Thank you.' Faizaan said as Amreen forwarded him his shoes.

He smiled at her and took her leave. She followed him till the main entrance. He sat on his scooter and wore his helmet.

'Bye.' Faizaan flashed a smile at her.

'Bye.' Amreen smiled back. She waved at him, he waved back before backing his scooter. Amreen watched him ride way, strangely she felt a void watching him go.

It has been only three days yet, she is missing him already.

*********************

The rest of the day both Faizaan and Amreen missed each other, though momentarily they didn't think about each other when they were distracted with work. But when there was no work, they missed each other once again.

By evening both felt restless. Since it was first day of work, Faizaan couldn't take off early. Amreen was done with all the house hold chores, there wasn't much work as there are many servants for it.

Amreen glanced at the clock, 7.30 pm. She quickly stood up, Faizaan had said he will be coming around 8pm. She rushed to her cupboard and took out her new Red and Golden saree. She got quickly dressed, did her make-up, and combed her hair leaving it open. She wore her jewelry as well.

'Arey, Beta. How was work?' Amreen felt her heart jump to her throat hearing her mother-in-law call Faizaan. She felt nervous now, she looked at her reflection and fixed her Pallu. The door opened and she turned around looking at the door, holding her breath.

Faizaan entered the room carrying his briefcase, he was exhausted with the whole day's work. He looked up and saw Amreen standing front, looking at her he felt all his tiredness evaporate. She is looking stunning.

'Let me, take this.' Amreen rushed to him and held his briefcase from him. Faizaan is in daze with her beauty and so didn't say anything. Amreen turned around and walked towards the cupboard.

Faizaan watched her as she placed his briefcase inside and took out his night clothes.

'You change, I will plate dinner for you.' Amreen said. Faizaan nodded.

*********************

After dinner, Faizaan came out from the washroom wiping his hand with a small towel.

He saw Amreen is arranging the bed, she is still dressed in the saree. Faizaan walked towards her.

'Yes...'Amreen said leaving the duvet and stood up straight, 'Ji?' she said with her head lowered.

Faizaan extended his hand and held hers, Amreen shivered. Slowly, she looked up at him. Their gaze getting locked.

'I missed you.' Faizaan said. Amreen smiled shyly, she looked away, 'Me too.' She blushed.

'Wait, I have something for you.' he said happily.

Amreen watched him excitedly, as he opened his wardrobe and opened his briefcase. Amreen wondered what her husband has for her.

Faizaan took out something and hid in his pocket. Amreen tip toed and tried peeking from his behind. Amreen pouted as she couldn't see what it was.

Faizaan smiled and walked towards Amreen. She looked away fidgeting with the edge of her Pallu.

Faizaan held her hand and took out something from his pocket and placed it on her palm. Amreen looked at it, it is two small piece of something. Amreen looked at it closely, it is written in English. Amreen is blank and this made her panic.
