After the Nikah Maaz and Ayzal walked towards the elders for prayers and dua, maaz kept his hand over ayzal's lower back as they walked around finally they stood in front of Azaan Rafia and jiya, Azaan pulled Ayzal in a warm hug as he patted her cheek "my beautiful little princess" jiya pouted and spoke playfully "hey!! I thought that was me" everyone laughed at jiya words and Azaan spoke "well you are still my princess but Ayzal is my first daughter so logically she is my first princess and you are second one but I love you both equally" jiya crossed her arms over her chest dramatically and signed "well, I guess I have to deal with this betray" everyone laughed and the banter kept going the whole way.
Azaan's Rafia and jiya got busy with the guest as maaz was standing beside Ayzal, he saw her continuously shifting her weight on her both legs one by one, he leaned closer to her ear and spoke "wanna sit down, buttercup?" Ayzal looked at his face near her and nodded "yeah.. " he leads her towards the couch again and made her sat down on the couch, he set her dress and acting like he was doing the most usual thing. Everyone had a lunch together filled with banters laughter and love. Ayzal was sitting with her parents and parents in-law other close relatives as they were chatting, Ayzal gaze fell on maaz who was talking to his cousin Barrera, she stare them silently and felt slightly jealous and she wasn't ashamed about it, she kept looking at them until maaz noticed it, he smirked as he can see she was looking jealous, he winked at Ayzal and moved his attention back to Barrera like he never noticed how jealous his wife was looking and it made ayzal's blood boil. She bit her inner cheek in anger and didn't utter a single word.
The guests started leaving as Azaan stood up and walked towards maaz and spoke "it's time for you to take your bride home" maaz nodded in acknowledgement. Ayzal was sitting on the couch alone she saw everyone started leaving and saw well as her parents, she looked around with an innocent look as she realise it time to say goodbye, maaz looked at her innocent expression he walked towards her from behind and placed his hand over her waist, Ayzal acknowledge his touch and pulled away from him still jealous. Aima and Zayn moved towards Ayzal and they both hugged her tightly she hugged them back aima couldn't help but get emotional again, she let the tears fall silent as well as Ayzal, Ayzal pulled back and held her parents hands and spoke "please don't get emotional again I'm trying to be strong and not ruin my makeup" aima chuckled between tears and spoke "okay okay dear no one is ruining your makeup, just stay happy and keep your husband happy". Both Ayzal and maaz left the mansion in maaz BWM M5. The whole ride was silent, they both were sitting in the back seat, Ayzal was continuously looking out of the window and maaz... He was just being himself he was continuously smirking because he knows how jealous she was being. The car stopped in front of a ash gray mansion and it's glass was in deep black colour it was the house gifted by Azaan as maaz and Ayzal's nikah gift, Ayzal get out of the car and walked inside the mansion without waiting for maaz, maaz followed her tucking his hands in her pocket with sly smile, he was walking behind her because ayzal's speed was slow because of her long dress, as she reached near stairs maaz held her arm and pulled her back that her back collapsed with his chest, she gasped softly and turned around with widened eyes the maids saw the moment and they left out. Maaz tilted his head on as Ayzal spoke angryily "what's your problem huh? What do you think you are Muhammad maaz" he smirked and spoke "your husband, dear buttercup" she pointed her finger towards him accusingly and spoke "don't give me this dear thing you hear me?!!!" And she jerked his hand away from her hand, he didn't mind at all and crossed his arms over his chest "do my wife is jealous of my cousin?" Ayzal rolled her eyes and admitted "so what if I'm jealous huh? I'm admitting myself that I'm jealous and I have every right to be jealous, you were so desperate to make me your wife, right? Now deal with this drama regularly" and she walked upstairs stomping her feet loudly and disappeared in their room. Maaz signed and walked towards his home office, he grabbed a small velvet box and then walked back upstairs, he knocked on the door and walked inside, he saw Ayzal sitting in front of the dresser unpinning her scarf, she looked at his reflection in the mirror but moved her attention back to herself, he walked towards Ayzal and leaned on the wall beside the mirror and placed the small velvet box on the dresser, she unwrapped the scarf and let her long straight light brown hair with natural golden highlights fall on her back, maaz forgot to break for a moment, and he whispered " Pulchritudinous " at his whisper Ayzal moved her gaze up at his words and maaz move the velvet box near the edge of the dresser she looks down at the box and back at his face and raised her eyebrow, maaz understand her silent question and play along and shrugged his shoulders, then Ayzal narrowed her eyes, maaz raised his hands up in mocking surrender because he knows she is not playing any games as Ayzal spoke in a straight voice "speak" maaz eyes never left her face as he spoke " as small gift" Ayzal didn't left the chance and asked "for Barrera?" Maaz smirked and spoke "probably" Ayzal shot him a glare and he chuckled "don't glare at me like that.. it's scary.. well it's for my wife not for any other girl" Ayzal tilted her head on the side and grabbed the box she opened it and saw an elegant necklace, she looked at him and back at the necklace she pulled it out of the box and silently wear it, she smiled faintly because she likes that necklace, maaz already watched her smile but didn't point it out. Ayzal caressed the necklace with the tip of her finger and mumbled "thank you" maaz gasped and dramatically clenched his chest "did you just say thank you" Ayzal rolled her eyes and stood up and walked towards the wardrobe "maybe you don't like when I treat you nicely" maaz chuckled at her words and she entered inside the wardrobe.
Ayzal POV
I grabbed a pink shirt and black sweatpants from the closet and walked inside the bathroom after freshen up myself and changing into comfortable clothes, I walked out and saw maaz was sitting on the edge of the bed using his phone, I felt slightly uncomfortable in the shirt and sweatpants which were way too comfortable, I avoided his gaze and immediately get inside the cover on the bed, I saw he looked at me over his shoulder and asked "comfy" I nodded slightly he stood up and put his phone on the dresser beside my phone and walked inside the bathroom. I was laying on the bed, making knots of my hair and humming silently when I heard buzz sound I looked towards the dresser and saw maaz and my phone was buzzing continuously, I got off the bed when maaz phone started ringing and I heard maaz's phone "buttercup can you please tell me who is calling?" I hesitate but said yes and grabbed his phone to see caller id and it was his mother aunt Rafia, my gaze fell on my phone and saw many missed calls from my parents too as I spoke loudly "it's your mom" and he immediately answered back "pick up the phone" I signed and picked the phone.. my expressions dropped completely I heard aunt Rafia's word, and for a while my mind stopped processing, and she cut the call. I saw maaz walked out drying his hair with towel wearing grey sweatpants and no shirt I immediately walked towards him with worried look and tried to spoke but shutter "m-maaz.. maaz" he walked closer to me and held my arms in his hands and leaned his face closer to mine with concern etching on his face "what happened buttercup you ok?" I nodded while breathing heavily and spoke "u-uncle Azaan" I saw his expression turned serious and he asked slightly in panic and he shake me holding my arms "dad! What happened to dad, sweetheart tell me!" I wiped my forehead and spoke "your mom told me your dad had a heart attack an hour ago they are in the hospital right now" I saw he got panicked, he pulled his hands back and ran his fingers in his hair I know he was trying to process things like me, he looked around and grabbed his shirt from the bed and spoke as he slipped in the shirt "I'm-i'm going I need to go" I saw ran towards him and grabbed his wrist and spoke "take me with you maaz please" he shook his head and spoke "no no no sweetie you stay here, I promise I'll take care of everything and once he'll be fine I'll call you their by driver" he kissed my forehead like the most usual thing and left without letting me respond.
"Two hearts, one quiet universe,
where love speaks in gentle ways—
a glance, a smile, a shared silence,
and suddenly the world feels soft again.
For in their togetherness,
even ordinary moments
learn how to glow."
