Chapter 23 : You are my Remedy!

Both came back to home and as it was late at night they straight went to their room. As they entered in room,Zehra removed her abaya and veil. While he removed his shoes and took out his nightdress from closet.

She removed her ear rings,jewelry and tied her hairs in bun roughly. She called her mother and informed her about her arrival at her new home safely. She was talking on call only when Zaroon came out from washroom wearing his track pants and night t shirt. He came to her side where she was sitting on bed. She was still busy talking,he raised his hand and tried to open her bun when she swatted his hand and glared at him.

She again got back to talking,her mother was giving her list of advices. She was hearing it carefully when he again raised his hand towards her bun. She again swatted his hand and shook her head indicating him not to do it.

He again raised his hand when she took a hold of it and keep holding it and finished her talk.

"What are you doing?" She asked as soon as she cut her call.

"I like your hair open only." He said shrugging his shoulders and again raised his hand.

"Aah... don't do it now, i have to change my clothes." She said ducking her head from his hand.

He kept raising his hand to her hairs and she kept ducking her head.

"Don't Zaroon." She said sternly to him but to no avail,he kept doing it as he was finding it really amusing.

"If you will do it once again then i am not gonna talk to you." She said,he stopped and looked at her but she was fast and went straight to washroom.

She huffed in annoyance as she realized that she didn't bring her night-suit with her.

She was about to call him when he knocked the door.

"You forgot your clothes." He said.

She opened the door and forwarded her hand,he kept her clothes without looking at her hand and went back to the bed.

She came out from the washroom wearing her night suit when she looked at him sitting on bed doing something on his laptop wearing his reading glasses.

"What are you doing?" She asked applying moisturizer on her hands.

"Just checking that nothing is going wrong in my absence." He said still focused on his screen.

She applied moisturizer,lip balm and was braiding her hairs when his voice came.

"Don't tie your hairs." He said still looking towards his screen.

"But it will be tangled if i would keep it open." She tried to explain him.

"I will help you to untangle it,okay?" He asked and raised his gaze to her.

"Fine." She said raising her hands in surrender.

She came to her side and covered both their legs with quilt,she sat by supporting her back to head rest and peeked at his screen.

There were some numbers which she couldn't understand so she took her phone from bedside table.

" What are you doing?" He asked looking at her busy in mobile.

"Just checking Messages." She said reading through her texts.

He closed the laptop and turned towards her,she too put her mobile on side and faced him.

"You don't use any Social Media?" He asked as he remembered that he couldn't find her on any site.

"No,i used to but now no." She said to him.

"Why?" He asked furrowing his brows.

"That's story of another time.Now it's time for sleep." Saying she took his laptop and kept it in drawer.

She turned back to him and said "Come here" she gestured towards her lap.

He kept his head on her lap and started toying with her ends of long hairs,she started caressing his hairs in a soothing manner.

"By the way,you never told me that you have spectacles!" She said and removed his glasses.

"You never asked!" He said getting more comfortable in her lap.

"How would i know about that? And you hid it from us very bad ha!" She said in mock disappointed voice.

"Oh it's bad,but you have to now live with me only. You don't have any options right?" He asked raising his left eyebrow challengingly.

"Yeah,sad kya kare ab to nibhana padega (what to do now i have to endure)" she said in mock disappointment again.

"Now even if you will try i am not gonna leave you." He said holding her other hand and bringing it to his neck,closing his eyes.

She smiled at his peaceful face in happiness.She continued caressing his hairs which actually made him sleepy.

"What did you do? I am feeling sleepy!" He said yawning.

"Whenever i felt sleeplessness,mamma used to do this with me and it always worked on me." She said remembering that time.

"You are my remedy of insomnia." He said looking at her with half drooping eyelids.

She smiled at him and kissed him on his hairs.He smiled feeling touch of her soft lips on his scalp.

"Let's sleep now." He said getting up and going towards his side of bed.

They both laid down on bed,he brought her closer to him and caged her in his arms. He brought his face in her hairs,he slept inhaling amazing smell of her hairs.She snuggled in his chest.

They slept cherishing feeling of each other's arms around their body.

Zaroon slept whole night without any disturbance,her arms,her presence gave him peaceful sleep which sleeping pills failed to do.

Zaroon woke up in in morning hearing buzzing of alarm,he snoozed the alarm and looked at her.

Her hairs were all over face,her one hand had tightly clenched fist holding his t shirt and other hand around his waist.

He removed her hairs from her face and put it behind her back. He looked at his sleeping beauty who snuggled more in him unconsciously wanting to get extra warmth from him.

He kissed her forehead,removed his hands from her. Put his body weight on his elbows and put his pillow in her arms. He doubled the quilt covering her body providing her more warmth.

She tightly held his pillow in her hands. His heart felt fully protective for his innocent wife.

He finished his morning routine and came out from washroom. He sat by her side and started caressing her hairs,she smiled in sleep feeling His caresses.

She slowly opened her eyes after few minutes of his caressing session,he smiled at her half opened eyes.

"Wake up it's time for prayer,i am going to mosque." He said while she got up and sat by supporting her back to head rest.

"Can i go now if you won't sleep again or should i stay some more time?" He asked her who sleepily shook her head.

"Go,i will be awake." She said her voice raspy due to sleep.

"I'll be back soon." He said and went out from the room.

After few moments,she got up from bed and went to washroom.

She prayed her prayer and read Quran for some time.She just put back Quran on its place when door of the room opened revealing Zaroon.

"Sleep for some time,Ammi said as today you wouldn't get rest as today is our Walima (Reception)" he informed her going towards his side of bed.

"Where do you think you are going?" She asked looking at him who was about to lay down.

"To sleep!" He said in most obvious tone.

"No,Mister you are gonna tackle this birds nest first as you have promised me." She said gesturing towards her hairs which indeed resembled like a bird's nest.

"Yes,i will do it but if i will do it now then it will be same after waking up again,right?" He asked her,she thought for some time and nodded her head.

"But you only will be taking care of this, i am telling you." She said pointing her index finger towards him.

"Promise,now sleep!" He said and laid down.

She too laid down on her side and he brought her closer just like previous night.
