"Hammad, why is she looking at me like that?" Zara asked whilst plopping down beside him on the grass.

They were in Lucknow on family tour. It was very good opportunity for Zara to know about Hammad’s family.

Everyone was nice and warm towards her except Hammad’s bade papa’s youngest daughter, Rumi.

"whom are you talking about?" He asked not exactly knowing, what she was talking about.

"Your favourite cousin, with whom you have been chatting and laughing through the whole ride." She dropped her sarcastic bomb at him.

"Astagfirullah(may Allah forgive me) Zara, I was just answering her questions." Hammad look horrified at her sudden attack of accusations.

"So you knew I was talking about Rumi but acted oblivious. How can you?" Zara was acting more childish from yesterday.

"I have some work, we will talk later." Hammad never liked to argue with her so he excused himself.

"If it was Rumi, you would have kept aside your work for her but since you don't like to talk to me it's fine with me, even I don't like to talk to you anymore." Zara stood up as well giving him her famous angry glare.

"What's wrong with you and why is this animosity with Rumi?" Hammad couldn't help but ask her.

"Oh, so now you feel like I've some animosity with your Rumi and you can't see her being hated by someone." Zara was hell angry today.

"For God sake Zara, I just wanted to the cause behind this ridiculous behavior of yours."Hammad was frustrated with her childish behavior.

"Okay, you wanted to know, so listen, I hate her because you liked her. " She came near him and looked into his eyes and said the truth.

She somehow overheard Asmara’s (Hammad’s phuppu’s only daughter) and Najis’s (Hammad's bada papa’s eldest daughter in law) conversation.

"What? Who told you?" Hammad was shocked to hear this from her.

"Isn't it the truth?" She glared him.

"Yes it is....." He said and walked away.

"Aaaaaa......" She sat there and scratched the grasses whilst trying to hold back her scream of frustration.

"Hammad Ali, I'll will kill this Rumi and you as well." She hissed under her breath and moved towards the gathering after calming her rage, where all the young generation were seated, busy talking with each other.

She witnessed Hammad sitting beside Rumi and laughing at something she said.

‘How dare he?’ She thought furiously and clenched her fists.

She so much wanted to shoot both of them but calming her rage she went towards them and stood in front of Rumi.

"Um…. Rumi aapi, I need to speak with Hammad about something very important. Can you please move a little?" She asked innocently blinking her eyes and Rumi nodded not having any option and move away from Hammad giving her space to sit.

Hammad bit his tongue to stop the threatening smile seeing his little wife all jealous and worked up.

Zara sat beside him, not forgetting to pinch his arm mercilessly.

Hammad held back his scream but didn't forget to bestow her  a deathly glare.

"Hello dear husband. How do you feel now?" Zara whispered in his ear.

He was amazed to see Zara. She was sometimes shy enough to not meet his eyes and sometimes bold enough to come so close to him without hesitating.

"Very much happy and loved." He answered her, gesturing her towards his arm where she pinched a while before.

She smiled at him innocently and said. “ Don't worry, you will feel more loved soon.”

"Guys, I guess we should go shopping tonight?" Asmara suggested enthusiastically catching everyone’s attention.

"Yes you are right? We should go and the boys will accompany us as our bodyguard." Najis bhabhi agreed with another suggestion.

"Bhabhi, we are not accompanying you guys." Adil Asmara’s brother said grimacing at the thought only.

"Oh you will, just let us  inform Baba about our shopping. He will order you guys to follow us and you will have no choice to say no." Najis bhabhi stated the truth.

"So everyone is up for it." Asmara asked everyone.

"Um.... Asmara aapi. I guess I'll stay back. I'm not feeling well." Zara made excuses and rubbed her forhead trying to sound genuine.

She can't even think to roam around the market, crowded with people, with all the girls walking from this shop to that.

"But we will have fun." Najis thought to convince her.

"Bhabhi, I'm sorry but I think with my current situation, I will spoil your shopping. What if my condition worsen."Zara said making faces of a sick person and continued to rub her forehead.

Everyone there was  confuse that what happened to her suddenly.

Anyways they nodded understandingly not before instructing her to take medicines.

" You are such a good actress, your acting skills are commendable." Hammad complemented her when they were in their hotel room.

"Thank you."She said, busy in her phone.

"What are you looking at, so intently?" Hammad leaned behind her to peek in her phone.

She was looking at her phone’s screen for almost an hour now.

"Na.... Nothing." She said and hide her phone behind her back.

"Something is fishy." Hammad said and swiftly snatched her phone.

He looked at the screen and his eyes wide opened and jaw hanged down.

" Ten ways to make  your husband fall for you." He read it aloud.

"You were busy reading this shit!" He exclaimed loudly, not believing his eyes.

"This is not a shit. Okay...." She angrily reasoned and snatched her phone.

"And don't ever try interfere in my personal matters." She growled.

She was embarrassed, and her anger was way to hide it.

She was storming out of the room when Hammad held her hand, halting her motion.

He dragged her towards their bed and made her sit.

"Why were you reading that useless article?" Hammad asked her, holding her hand in his.

"It shouldn't bother you."She snatched her hand away.

" It only should bother me because as far as I remember, I'm your husband." He angrily snapped at her, fed up of her angry mood.

" Who likes his cousin." She retorted back, her eyes being moist at thought.

"You were reading that useless shit because you thought I like her?" He asked her, this time his tone a little softer.

"What do you mean by  I thought? You yourself confessed that you like her." She snarled , throwing daggers at him.

"I never confessed that I like her. I agreed on liking her before our marriage." He said and she replayed their conversation in her mind.

"Okay, you wanted to know, so listen, I hate her because you liked her. " She came near him and looked into his eyes and said the truth.

"What? Who told you?" Hammad was shocked to hear this from her.

"Isn't it the truth?" She glared him.

"Yes it is....." He said and walked away.

"She was my past and I liked her because Ammi and baba wanted us to get married. After the accident Badi ammi rejected me because of my limp and Ammi asked for your hand because she thought you were the cause of me being rejected." He held her shoulders and made her sit again.

He sat beside her and took her hands again in his.

" You are my present Zara and I don't only like you but I love you." He pulled the thorn of jealousy and insecurities she was having, with his words which were coated with truth and honesty.

"You don't have to read those useless articles about making me fall for you because I've already fallen for you, head over heels  my dear wife." He was smiling, looking at his beautiful wife.

"And second thing, you can't make someone fall for you. It happens on its own." He continued.

"I love you too and I'm sorry for doubting you." She apologized and hugged his torso ashamed of her previous behavior.

One thing was very good with Zara that she would apologize as soon as she would realize her mistake.

"I'm glad to know that my darling wife." He said kissing her head lovingly.

A peaceful silence spread around them.

“So, you really liked her.” Zara asked while later, still hugging him.

“Are you still jealous?” Hammad asked her smiling at her question.

“No, I was just wandering. Why would you like her. She is such a…..” Zara was again on her jealousy mode.

‘Something will never change, no matter how much you try and Zara’s jealousy was one of them.’ Hammad thought and stopped his wife from saying anything else with the only way he knew would work on her.

He took her lips in his, kissing her until he was sure that she forgot about Rumi.
