He was angry. maybe angry was an understatement to what he was feeling right now. His wife, his Roshni was laughing and dancing with a man unknown to him. Oh yes, she introduced him as her childhood bestie Jiten years back when he had gone to Bangkok for a 5-year course but didn’t cool down the fire that was raging inside the handsome charismatic but also extremely possessive for his wife Aman Junaid khan. Even though they had a love marriage of 5 years with two baby girls of 4 years as the god’s blessing born to them just a year after their marriage’ but it still didn’t make him less possessive about her instead maybe it made him even more protective about her and seeing her in someone else’s arms who wasn’t him made him mad or better cynical. He went up to the duo and almost pushed Jiten. Then only Roshni and Jiten look at the raging beast who was glaring at Jiten as if he will bury him into ground so deep that no one will even find him ever. But Jiten either didn’t know Aman was glaring at him or was purposefully ignoring his glare. While Roshni was really enjoying Aman’s possessiveness.
Aman was a man of few words. He usually never expressed his emotions nor displayed it but seeing him all worked up and jealous due to her best friend…. sorry her brother made her really happy. Even during their courtship, he never used to talk but used to express his love with the little gifts he used to bring for her every day. It never used to be expensive gifts shouting out how rich he was instead it ere the simple things that she used to like glass bangles, jhumkaas etc. even today after almost 5 years of marriage on their baby girls’ birthday he still brings her these gifts. She never rejects them because its his way of saying her that he loves her, its his way of saying how happy he is to have her. But she never saw his possessiveness for her. Protectiveness yes but no possessive Aman was in display. But now seeing him getting protective and jealous for her made her heart warm seeing his love. “I think Jiten its my chance to dance with MY WIFE” Aman said stressing on the last two words. “yes of course Aman take her. Roshni is all yours.” Jiten said giving Roshni’s hand to Aman and leaving the dance floor to the lovers.
Roshni starts smiling at Aman’s behaviour which he notices and pulls her closer. “now try to laugh my dear” he said teasingly. Seeing him tease her she reverts “I smell something is burning Aman. Is it you?” “I may never ever say this but no one. I repeat no one has the right to make you smile except me. No one has the right to love you as I do. No one can look at you as intensely as I see you” he replied with so much passion that she hugged him blushing at his words. He started smiling at his shy wife who was shy even after so many years of their marriage. It made him feel pride at himself that he was the only one to make her blush a brilliant hue of red. Just then his two little munchkins interrupted their passionate hug by jumping on their parent’ s arms.
Siya and Miya were the lives of their parents. If Roshni was Aman’s heart then the twins were his soul same for Roshni. “mom dad we were so bored without you both. And where are our gifts? when will we cut the cake. Which flavour is the cake?” Siya ranted out being the talkative one while Riya looked on being the silent but elder by an hour one. Roshni and Aman smiled looking at their princess cute banter. “ok before cutting the cake don’t you want your birthday gift” Roshni asked to which the duo nodded furiously while the other family members who had gathered around now laughed at their innocent eagerness.
Roshni and Aman with their little princesses looked like a perfect family from a fairy-tale to whom Jiten looked on. He was happy to see his sister, baby sister Roshni so happy with a guy like Aman. He knew Aman will keep Roshni forever happy from the way Roshni’s eyes twinkled with warmth and love looking at Aman and their daughters. Before she met Aman, she wasn’t ever happy in reality. Her mother who almost sold her to someone way older than her. Almost her father’s age never treated her properly. She got saved by that dreadful marriage with help of Aman and that is when their courtship period started. He only met Aman once before their marriage at the sangeet when he was to leave for Bangkok. From that instant he knew Aman will treat Roshni just like the queen she is. He was her saving grace. Her escape from the daily insults. and today after seeing this family banter and love he knew that never in this world will his sister be alone. She would never be called a tawaif’s daughter. She would be always be a nawab’s wife. A nawab who loves more than anyone ever could.
