His Harshness

As he entered his house, his feet halted looking at the scene in front of him.
Sanam was sitting on the sofa and giggling about something. Back in his life, he used to dream of this scene whenever he came back from the office first of all his eyes went to her smiling face.
And by the way, today he was already in a pleasant mood as now his case became strong because of his marriage. The court was about to announce the decision in favor of him.
Secondly, looking at Sanam's lively face an unknown relief surged in his body.
Taking slow steps, he was moving towards her but it was when the scene in front of him changed.
With smiling face of Sanam, his eyes went to Haadi who wanted to say something to her, and on that, she was giggling and stopping him from saying.
His pleasant mood instantly changed. His hold on his office bag becomes harsher. A feeling of jealousy rushed into his whole body.
"What are you laughing at?"
On his dominating voice, they both quickly became silent and turned their neck back to see the intruder.
"Dad is here. Dad, see uncle came. I missed him a lot."
Seeing his father, Aashir ran to him and wrapped himself around his legs. A beautiful smile appeared on his face on looking at his son.
"Hey, brother you came. I was about to come to your office to meet you but dad stopped me saying you will get back till evening."
Saying delightfully, Haadi stood up from his place and hugged his brother.
Asfand was not at all surprised on spotting Haadi here because Mr. Hayat already informed him in the morning about his arrival.
He was in London for his studies and now after completion of his studies, he came back.
"I'm happy to see you here. Now our family is complete."
Very adoringly he was looking at his brother as he really adore his brother.
"I'm also very happy about coming back here. And I am most happy after listening about your marriage."
He glanced at Sanam who was sitting near him. On his saying, Asfand's gaze went to Sanam who was very lovingly straightening Aashir's scattered hair on his forehead.
After that night, they didn't talk with each other till now. And after all, where does he give heed or ever bothered to call her?
"And you know what's more interesting is that your wife I mean Sanam and I became best friends in these few hours."
Winking his eye at Sanam, he sat back in his place and took Aashir, who was sitting near him, into his lap.
"Beware Haadi, she has a bad habit and that's making people habitual of herself and then leave them."
Asfand loosened the knot of his tie while saying shockingly. He took a seat on the twister sofa the same place where Sanam was seated.
He sat spreading his legs and because of it, her leg was hit by his leg. Sanam has to move back from where she was seated.
"How can you say with that assurance? Do you already know Sanam?"
He was surprised so he has to ask his brother. On his revealing, Mr. Hayat sitting near him was also surprised.
Mr. Hayat already narrated to him the whole story and the situation in which they both got married. So his surprise can be justified.
"I was just kidding. Actually, nowadays it's the habit of girls I feel perhaps she is also the same as them."
He bitterly made remarks about her and smiled glancing at her. Her eyes were fixed on his face when she glared at him.
But he, ignoring her glaring, put his arm on the back of the sofa.
"Whatever you say brother but I liked Sanam at first look. What do you say Aashir, am I right?"
Now he asks for assurance from Aashir.
"You are exactly right uncle. Mama is best in all and she is also my angel."
Aashir's voice was filled with love for her and Asfand along with everyone present there noticed it.
"You all are so nice that's why everyone seems nice to you. Otherwise, nowadays no one is like you people. Now people make perceptions about anyone without knowing the truth."
She was clearly ironic with him and Asfand can obviously sense it.
"By the way, I am happy that you liked my wife."
Completely ignoring what she just said, he slide towards her while Haadi just smiled at that.
His hand, which was on the back of the sofa, touched Sanam's shoulder. Then she snapped at Asfand who was still sitting incognizant of his act as if he didn't do anything.
She was not getting his behavior that was why he was doing that.
"Ok brother, you freshen up then we will talk. Till then I will give Aashir his gifts which I bought for him."
After saying, Haadi got up and left out taking Aashir with himself. Along with him Mr. Hayat also went out.
"Will you like to talk about the act which you were up to? What was that?"
After everyone leave, Sanam also just got up when Asfand gripped her wrist and with a jerk, he pulled her back to himself.
Sanam was not ready for this attack so she straightly fell on him. She put her both hands on his chest to create some distance between him.
"I'm not getting what are you talking about?"
She wanted to get up from him but he took her both arms in his tight grasp and failed her attempt of letting herself free.
Right now he was sitting on the sofa while she was completely hovering over her.
"Stay away from my brother. I don't want to see a girl like you near my brother."
His words hit Sanam right in her heart like an arrow. He was thinking such nasty about her only that thought had made her eyes watery.
Seeing her tears, Asfand instantly realized the harshness of his words.
"Mr. Asfand don't forget you married a girl like me."
With a jerk she let herself go from his hold and stood straightly. She then didn't stop there but stormed out of there.
While Asfand after her leave kept sitting there lost in his thoughts for a long time.
