Beautiful

2 week later...

Twenty-one fasts were gone and still Firdaus and Elnaz had to do their shopping and stuffs. They both were done with reading whole Quran-e-Paak individually and where now concentrating on other stuffs. Due to daily cooking done jointly by them had the whole family habitual off having their dishes and dessert.

Days where passing quickly as they came, they went even before they can register. Firdaus holidays were diminishing. She had to leave India the next day after Eid celebration. After a day or two Firdaus, Elnaz and Jannat had gone for shopping. They bought lovely gowns for themselves, every color was refreshing but yet these both ladies had to do their jewelry shopping.

"Ammi I and Appi were supposed to go to jewelry shopping today." Elnaz told as she picked up the scattered books on the table occasionally glancing at her mom.

"You were supposed to or you want to beta (Child)?" Jannat asked arranging the tie's in the drawer.

"I want to Ammi. I want too but dad has gone out for some work so he took the car. Mine's has gone for service and the one that remains is Bhai's. he won't let me touch it. You know how particular he is about his favorite sports Ferrari. He doesn't even let the driver drive it except for he himself." She rambled out frustratedly.

"Yeah. I know that. Why don't you do one thing? Just go and ask him out if he can take you both there." Jannat suggested as she turned wholly towards her with her hands on her hip.

"Hmm... but Ammi... you know he won't want too-"but she quickly intervened her saying

"At least try better then assuming. Go ask him." And again, resumed with her sorting out Zayn's clothing section.

"Bhai?" I asked for the third time but he was not responding. I was getting frustrated with this now. He was not even acknowledging rather then he was continuously typing something on his idiot of a laptop!

"Fine then. We both know that you don't want to help us out. Good bye." I turned seriously and frustratingly moving towards the door.

"Both?" He asked when I touched the door knob.

"Me and Appi. We wanted to go out for jewelry shopping." I quickly replied taking the opportunity. It seemed that something ran through his mind and he switched his laptop off and stood up brushing his hand over his tracks. I looked at him suspiciously, taking in all his movements as he passed by me eventually going out of the room. To say I was frustrated was a small word. Who wouldn't? Then suddenly he stopped and turned back

"I give you both ten minutes to come out and get settles in my car." He quirked and resumed his walking towards our parents' room.

"YAY!!" I jumped and quickly hurried to get me and Appi ready for shopping.

"Seriously Elli we could have gone some other day." Firdaus complained.

"What? no! you know that only few days are remaining Appi!" Elnaz spoke normally not realizing that they were in a car not in their house. Firdaus got embarrassed at that and shushed her down. When she looked at the rear mirror, she got more flushed as she saw Asad looking at her through it. She quietly looked down at her lap and didn't dared to look up again whereas Elnaz was reading some magazine. Through the whole journey Asad kept stealing a few glances at her through the front mirror.

"Thanks Bhai. If you want you can go. I can call the driver as he informed me that he is back at home." Elnaz thanked, while Firdaus was checking the architecture of the mall.

"No Elnaz, I would take you both back and no worries I am free for a while now." He said while gesturing both of them to walk through the entrance.

After reaching the jewelry shop Elnaz explained her choice of design to the jeweler while Firdaus took her time to go through the whole shop examining at each piece of fine jewelry. She was so engrossed at staring a bridal collection wear that she forgot that Asad was standing behind her noticing her every move. He saw how amazed her eyes looked while checking out a specific bridal wear. By now she was tracing the glass container in which the jewelry was kept with her hand as if she was by hearting It's every delicate design.

"Beautiful?" Asad whispered in her ear, while he saw one off the staff coming in their way to give introduction about the fine piece. He quickly flicked two fingers of his asking him to leave them alone. Obliging that staff left them alone, whereas Firdaus was oblivious about this little act of his.

"Very much." She replied unconsciously still tracing the brim of the glass. Ohh! He thought.

"I can guarantee that it would look more beautiful on your body sweetheart." He huskily whispered in her ear.

"Huh?" She snapped out of her hazy moment realizing who it was behind her. He saw her gulping and her cheeks turning bright pink as she tried to move away from him but that only caused her to get clashed with his broad chest. At that she let out a small gasp trying to cover her embarrassment.

"Wifey there is still a little time left for us to be together now, but I guess my wife here is too eager to-" he teased her but was cut off as she quickly looked up and moved her head in a no-no way.

"You liked it?" he asked trying to lessen her embarrassed feeling in her.

"N-No" she replied and quickly moved out to where his sister was standing.
