CHAPTER – 57


Preparing for the Step – A Quiet Journey
The mornings in the house began with a sense of calm. Danish and Kavya took long walks around the Banjara Hills neighborhood, talking about what lay ahead. Kavya asked many questions — not just about rituals, but about faith, meaning, and how this change would impact her identity.
Danish, patient and reassuring, answered all he could.
One evening, over tea, Feroz Khan called Danish aside.
Feroz Khan (firmly but calmly):
"Kal hum Maulana Sahib se milne jaayenge. Unse achhi tarah samjha dena Kavya ko sab kuch. Samajhna zaroori hai, sirf kehna kaafi nahi."
(Tomorrow, we’ll meet the Maulana. It’s important Kavya understands everything — it’s not just about saying it, but understanding it.)
Danish nodded.
The Meeting with the Maulana
The next afternoon, they visited the local mosque. A soft-spoken, wise Maulana sat with them in a quiet room at the back of the masjid. The scent of attar hung faintly in the air.
Kavya sat with folded hands, her eyes clear but nervous. The Maulana began with kindness.
Maulana Sahib:
"I s l a m mein jab koi khud se aata hai, hum uska khair-muqadam karte hain. Lekin pehle yeh zaroori hai ki aap samjhein — yeh sirf ek rivaayat nahi, ek zimmedari hai."
(When someone comes to ., by their own will, we welcome them. But it is vital that you understand — this isn’t just a ritual, it’s a responsibility.)
For the next hour, he gently explained the Shahada, the pillars of .,, the concept of Tauheed (oneness of God), and what it meant to walk this path with honesty.
Kavya listened intently. Her heart was calm — not because the words were simple, but because the conviction was real.
 
 
Kavya’s Reflection the Night Before
That night, Kavya sat on the terrace under the stars. Danish joined her quietly.
Kavya:
"Mujhe darr lagta tha ke main apne astitva ko kho dungi. Par ab lagta hai maine use aur gehraai se samjha hai."
(I used to fear that I would lose my identity. But now I feel like I’ve understood it even more deeply.)
Danish:
"Tum wohi ho, Kavya. Bas ab tumhara raasta thoda aur roshan ho gaya hai."
(You’re still the same Kavya. Only now your path is a bit more illuminated.)
They sat in silence after that, not needing to say more.
 
The Day of Embracing Faith
The next morning, a small group gathered at the mosque. Feroz Khan, Danish, a few elders, and the Maulana.
Kavya, in a simple but graceful light-colored salwar suit with her dupatta loosely dbangd over her head, stood with composure. Her eyes didn’t waver.
The Maulana guided her through the Shahada:
"Ashhadu an la ilaha illa ,.', wa ashhadu anna Muhammadur Rasul ,.'."
(I bear witness that there is no god but ,.', and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of ,.'.)
Her voice didn’t tremble. When she finished, there was a soft pause — and then quiet nods of acknowledgment. Some women in the mosque hugged her warmly.
Feroz Khan stood nearby, hands behind his back. When their eyes met, he nodded — just once, but deeply.
Feroz Khan:
"Mubarak ho, Kavya."
(Congratulations, Kavya.)
 
Scene: After the Shahada – Silent Conversations Through Eyes
The air in the small prayer hall had just quieted after Kavya softly completed the Shahada. A few murmurs of “Subhan,.'” and “Mubarak ho” echoed among the gathered elders.
As Kavya stood, adjusting her dupatta over her head, her eyes instinctively searched for one person — Feroz Khan.
He hadn’t moved. Standing tall, arms crossed lightly, his face was unreadable — composed, regal, but not cold.
Their eyes met.
And for a fleeting moment… time slowed.
There was no smile on his lips, but his eyes—dark, deep-set, and sharp—held something. Something that pierced through Kavya’s chest like a slow, burning wind.
She had never been looked at like that by a man of his age. It wasn’t lust. It wasn’t judgment. It was power.
Graceful, composed power.
"Unki aankhon mein kuch tha..."
(There was something in his eyes...)
She held his gaze, only to realize… he wasn’t just watching her. He was listening to her, silently, with the gravity of a man who had known love, loss, and sacrifice.
She didn't need to say anything.
And neither did he.
In that moment, their eyes exchanged more than pleasantries. They shared understanding. Skepticism. And perhaps, beneath it all — curiosity.
 
Scene: Back Home – The Ceremony Meal
Back at the house, a simple meal was laid out. Dates, sheer khurma, and saffron chai.
Feroz sat at the head of the low dining table, his white kurta pristine, his watch glinting faintly in the warm yellow light. His sleeves were rolled up just enough to reveal strong forearms — he looked less like a 60-year-old man, and more like a dignified poet out of another era.
Kavya sat diagonally across, feeling his gaze even when he wasn’t looking at her. When their eyes did meet — across conversation, across the table — it was like reading an unspoken poem. One written in glances.
At one point, when Danish was helping her with the tea, Feroz spoke, not loudly, but with intention.
Feroz (without breaking eye contact with Kavya):
"Zindagi ke kuch faisle... khud ko pehle samajhne ke baad hi liye jaate hain."
(Some decisions in life… should only be made after truly understanding oneself.)
Kavya didn’t reply. She just nodded slowly, absorbing it.
His voice was like silk brushing stone — deep, aged, and yet effortlessly refined.
 
Scene: A Pause Between Steps
Later that evening, while Danish had stepped out for a call, Kavya found herself alone in the living room. She stood near the bookshelf, her fingers trailing over the spines of Urdu poetry books.
"Faiz Ahmed Faiz," she whispered, seeing a faded spine. A soft smile formed.
“Aap ko Faiz pasand hai?”
The voice came from behind — unmistakable.
She turned. Feroz stood near the doorway, hands behind his back.
Kavya (composed):
"Bahut... unki kavitaayein samajhne mein waqt lagta hai, par mehsoos turant ho jaati hain."
(A lot… His poems take time to understand, but you can feel them instantly.)
He gave the faintest nod, his eyes once again locking into hers.
Feroz (after a pause):
"Aap bhi waise hi hain."
(So are you.)
 
Hyderabad – Feroz Khan’s Ancestral Home
It had been over a week since Kavya and Danish arrived in Hyderabad. The initial tension had slowly given way to quiet familiarity. The warmth of the house—blended with the fragrance of agarbatti in the morning and the distant echo of azaan in the evenings—had started to feel like a second home to Kavya.
After her formal conversion, which was a significant and deeply emotional event, Kavya found herself carrying a strange calm inside. Not because she had given up something, but because Feroz Khan, a man she had feared might never accept her, turned out to be far more understanding than she imagined.
One afternoon, as they sat under the neem tree in the courtyard, sipping chai in silence, Feroz looked at Kavya and said, his voice gentle yet deeply rooted:
"Kavya, tumne I s l a m qubool kiya, isse main khush hoon. Lekin iska matlab yeh nahi ke tum apni purani pehchaan bhool jao."
("Kavya, I’m happy you’ve accepted .,. But that doesn’t mean you must forget who you used to be.")
She looked up, surprised. Her eyes searched his face, unsure if he truly meant it.
He continued, “Tumhare H i n d u sanskaar, tumhari rasmein – yeh sab tumhara hissa hain. Main chahata hoon ke tum woh sab na chhodo. Tum jaise ho waise hi raho. I s l a m sirf ek rasta hai, ek zariya – insaaniyat sabse badi cheez hoti hai.”
("Your H i n d u values, your rituals – they are part of who you are. I don’t want you to let them go. Stay true to yourself. I s l a m is a path, a way – but humanity is above all.")
Kavya felt a knot inside her chest loosen. She hadn’t realized how much pressure she’d been carrying – not from Danish, but from the expectations she imagined Feroz would place on her. But here he was, a man in his 60s, with the wisdom of age and the grace of acceptance, giving her the gift of being herself.
She smiled warmly, her voice slightly trembling as she replied, "Aapko yeh sab kehna bahut zaruri tha. Main andar hi andar thoda ghabra rahi thi."
("It was important to hear this from you. I was quietly anxious.")
Feroz smiled too. “Zindagi mein jo cheezein dil se ki jaayein, woh kabhi galat nahi hoti.”
("Things done from the heart are never wrong.")
From that day, Kavya began to feel more at home. She helped around in the kitchen, asked questions about traditions, and even taught Feroz how to make aloo parathas her mother used to make back in Mumbai. Their bond deepened—not just through long talks but through shared silences and mutual respect.
The next day Feroz, Danish and kavya went to a family friends wedding. he wedding venue thrummed with vibrant energy, the air heavy with the scent of jasmine garlands and the pulsating rhythm of dhol music. Golden fairy lights twinkled above, casting a warm, magical glow over the guests. Kavya stood radiant in her emerald-green sleeveless kurta and salwar, the intricate embroidery catching the light with every movement, accentuating her graceful form. The flowing salwar swayed gently, adding elegance to her presence. Feroz Khan, at sixty, cut a striking figure in his cream sherwani with subtle gold accents, his silver-flecked hair and easy charm lending him an air of timeless charisma. Danish, Feroz’s son, had wandered off to the dance floor, his laughter blending with the chatter of friends, leaving Feroz and Kavya to navigate the lively crowd together.
Feroz guided Kavya toward a group of family friends gathered near a table adorned with vibrant marigold centerpieces, his hand resting lightly on her elbow, a steadying gesture amidst the festive chaos. The group greeted him warmly, their voices overlapping with jovial exclamations. “Feroz bhai, you haven’t aged a day!” one uncle teased, clapping him on the shoulder. Kavya stood slightly to the side, her lips curved in a polite smile, her dupatta dbangd elegantly over one shoulder. Feroz, with his natural flair for storytelling, launched into a humorous anecdote about the groom’s childhood, drawing laughter from the group. Then, with a proud glint in his eyes, he turned to Kavya, placing a hand on her shoulder.
“Everyone, this is Kavya,” he said, his voice warm and deliberate. “Danish’s fiancée.”
The word “fiancée” sent a flutter through Kavya’s chest, her cheeks flushing a soft pink. She hadn’t expected such a formal introduction, and the weight of it, delivered by Feroz’s commanding yet gentle voice, felt both thrilling and overwhelming. The family friends erupted into smiles, offering congratulations and playful remarks. “Danish is a lucky man!” an auntie exclaimed, her bangles jingling as she squeezed Kavya’s hand. Kavya responded with warmth, her nerves easing as she thanked them, though she felt Feroz’s gaze linger on her, his charm almost palpable, stirring a mix of admiration and self-consciousness. At nearly twice her age, his presence carried a gravitas that made her feel both seen and slightly unsteady.
As the conversation flowed, a stray strand of Kavya’s hair slipped loose from her carefully pinned updo, brushing against her cheek. Instinctively, she raised her right arm, her fingers gliding through the soft waves to tuck the strand behind her ear. The movement caused her sleeveless kurta to shift, the fabric sliding just enough to reveal the smooth, bare curve of her underarm. The soft lighting cast a gentle sheen on her skin, highlighting its delicate texture—a fleeting, unintentional exposure that seemed to still the world around her. Feroz, mid-sentence about the groom’s infamous dance moves, caught the glimpse from the corner of his eye. His words faltered, his voice trailing off as his gaze instinctively flicked toward her.
Kavya’s arm lingered for a moment, her fingers still entwined in her hair, unaware of the effect of her gesture. Then, sensing a shift, she lowered her arm slowly, her eyes meeting Feroz’s. Time seemed to stretch, the wedding’s vibrant hum fading into a distant murmur. Their gazes locked, and Kavya’s breath caught, her heart racing as she registered the intensity in his dark eyes. Feroz, with his seasoned charm and worldly confidence, held her gaze with a look that was both surprised and admiring, a flicker of something deeper—perhaps appreciation—crossing his features. At sixty, his presence was magnetic, his silver hair and warm smile only amplifying the allure of his seasoned charisma. Kavya felt a rush of conflicting emotions: a flush of embarrassment at the unintended exposure, a spark of flattery at being the focus of his attention, and a quiet awe at the way his gaze made her feel both vulnerable and significant. The age gap between them, nearly double her years, heightened the moment’s intensity, his charm wrapping around her like a warm, disarming embrace.
Her cheeks burned, and she felt a flutter of self-consciousness, aware of how his eyes, wise with experience, seemed to see her in a way that was both respectful and piercing. The moment felt intimate, almost too personal for the crowded setting, and she wondered if he, too, felt the weight of it. Feroz’s lips parted slightly, as if to speak, but instead, a slow, deliberate smile spread across his face, his eyes crinkling at the corners in a way that felt both reassuring and playfully knowing. It was a smile crafted to ease the tension, to ground them both, yet it carried a warmth that made her pulse quicken further.
Kavya’s own lips curved into a shy, hesitant smile, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of her dupatta as she tried to steady herself. The moment had caught her off guard, and Feroz’s charm—his effortless ability to make her feel seen without judgment—left her both flustered and intrigued. “What were you saying about the groom’s dancing?” she asked, her voice soft but laced with a playful lilt, an attempt to steer them back to safer ground. Feroz chuckled, the sound low and rich, and seamlessly resumed his story, his voice regaining its confident rhythm. The group laughed, oblivious to the quiet exchange that had unfolded.
But the moment lingered. As they continued mingling, Kavya stayed close to Feroz, their conversation flowing with an ease that felt both familiar and charged with new awareness. The family friends peppered her with questions about her work, her family, and the wedding plans, their enthusiasm infectious. Feroz joined in, teasing about Danish’s knack for keeping everyone waiting, earning a bright laugh from Kavya. Yet, beneath the light-hearted banter, there was an unspoken connection—a fleeting vulnerability sparked by that unguarded moment, amplified by Feroz’s commanding yet gentle presence, a secret they carried through the evening, subtle but undeniable.

[Kartikjessie]

Looks like Feroz is going to seduce kavya and bed her and make his son see it. It was then Danish will realize kavya is a bitch. So he will not marry her and Feroz will find a girl from his religion.

[Vasanthan]

The story has started boring after divorce. Rahul has given his house to his wife and her lover? No conversation between close friends. Kavya parents and relatives are no more?

[Samadhanam]

From cheating housewife story it has turned like a mslim propoganda

every1 r shouting & blaming tht writer is doing injustice with rahul, giving momedian/Mslim angle etc etc.. v expect tht thr should be violence n revenge frm rahul side but writer is focusing on kavya n Danish.. 
actually current condition is like this only.. wife r doing extra marital affairs n we expect husband to do something..
writer is trying to show wht leads to extra marital affairs and specially love jihad... actually women don't think wht r consequences of love jihad n they blinding except this for sake of love..

CHAPTER – 58


The wedding had left a vibrant afterglow, its music and laughter still echoing in their minds as Feroz, Danish, and Kavya stepped out of the car and into the quiet of their home. The night air was cool, a stark contrast to the warm, bustling energy of the venue. Kavya’s emerald-green sleeveless kurta shimmered faintly under the streetlights, her dupatta now slightly askew from the evening’s festivities. Danish, his tie loosened and jacket slung over one shoulder, was still buzzing with energy, recounting a hilarious moment from the dance floor to Kavya, who laughed softly, her eyes sparkling with amusement. Feroz, at sixty, carried himself with a quiet dignity in his cream sherwani, though his silver-flecked hair was slightly tousled from the night’s revelry. His mind, however, was elsewhere, replaying the evening—not just the wedding’s joy, but the fleeting, charged moment when his eyes had met Kavya’s.
Inside, the house was a haven of warmth, the soft glow of lamps casting long shadows across the living room. The trio shed their shoes at the entrance, the clink of Kavya’s bangles mingling with the faint hum of the air conditioner. Danish flopped onto the couch, stretching out with a contented sigh. “That was one hell of a party,” he said, grinning at Kavya. “Did you see Uncle Raza trying to do that bhangra move? Nearly took out the dessert table!”
Kavya chuckled, settling into an armchair, tucking her legs beneath her. “He was having the time of his life,” she said, her voice warm with affection for the chaotic joy of the night. She glanced at Feroz, who had moved to the sideboard to pour himself a glass of water, his movements deliberate, almost contemplative. The memory of their earlier moment—her adjusting her hair, the glimpse of her underarm, their locked gazes—lingered in her mind, stirring a quiet flutter in her chest. She pushed it aside, focusing on Danish’s animated chatter.
Feroz turned, glass in hand, and leaned against the sideboard, his gaze settling on the two of them. The room felt intimate, the three of them cocooned in the afterglow of the evening. He took a sip of water, then set the glass down, his expression shifting to one of quiet resolve. “You two,” he began, his voice steady but carrying a weight that drew their attention. Danish sat up slightly, his grin fading into curiosity, while Kavya’s fingers paused on her dupatta, her eyes meeting Feroz’s with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty.
“I’ve been thinking,” Feroz continued, his tone warm but firm, “about you both, about your future.” He paused, letting the words settle, his eyes moving between Danish and Kavya. “Tonight, seeing you together, seeing how well you fit into this family, this community—it made it clear. You shouldn’t wait. I’m going to speak with Maulana Qasim tomorrow to start arranging your marriage. You should marry as soon as possible.”
The words landed like a gentle thunderclap, filling the room with a sudden, profound stillness. Danish blinked, caught off guard, his mouth opening as if to protest, but no words came. Kavya’s breath hitched, her fingers tightening on the armrest. The idea of marriage wasn’t new—she and Danish had talked about it, dreamed about it—but Feroz’s declaration, delivered with such conviction, felt like a tide pulling them forward.
Feroz carried an authority that was both paternal and persuasive, his charming presence amplified by the sincerity in his eyes. Kavya felt a rush of emotions: excitement at the thought of solidifying her bond with Danish, a touch of nervousness at the speed of it all, and, inexplicably, a flicker of awareness of Feroz himself—his steady gaze, the way he seemed to see her so clearly.
Danish recovered first, running a hand through his hair. “Abbu, that’s… wow, that’s sudden,” he said, a nervous laugh escaping him. “I mean, we’ve talked about it, but so soon?” He glanced at Kavya, searching her face for her reaction. “What do you think, Kavya?”
Kavya’s lips parted, but she hesitated, her mind racing. Feroz’s words had stirred something deep within her—a sense of inevitability, but also a quiet question about what this haste meant. She glanced at Feroz, his expression a mix of encouragement and quiet determination, and she felt the weight of his belief in their future. “I… I think it’s a beautiful idea,” she said finally, her voice soft but steady. “But it’s a lot to take in. We’d need to plan, to talk it through.” Her eyes flicked to Danish, seeking his reassurance, but she couldn’t help noticing Feroz’s faint smile, as if he’d expected her measured response.
Feroz nodded, stepping closer to the couch, his presence commanding yet gentle. “Of course, you’ll plan,” he said, his voice softening. “But life moves fast, and when you know something is right, you don’t wait. I’ve seen enough to know you two are meant for this. Maulana Qasim will help set a good date, and we’ll make it happen—simple, meaningful, surrounded by family.” He looked at Kavya, his eyes holding hers for a moment longer than necessary, and she felt that same flutter from earlier, a warmth that was both comforting and disorienting given his age and stature.
Danish leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, his expression a mix of excitement and apprehension. “Okay, Abbu, let’s say we do this. What’s the rush? Why now?” His tone was curious, not defiant, and he reached for Kavya’s hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.
Feroz’s smile deepened, lines crinkling around his eyes. “Because tonight reminded me how precious time is,” he said, his voice carrying a quiet intensity. “Seeing you both, surrounded by love, laughter, family—it’s what life’s about. I want to see you start that journey together, not later, but now.” His gaze shifted to Kavya, and for a fleeting moment, she felt the weight of his attention, as if his words were meant for her as much as for Danish. She wondered, briefly, if the intensity of the evening—their shared glance, the unspoken connection—had influenced his urgency.
Kavya squeezed Danish’s hand back, grounding herself. “Let’s talk to Maulana Qasim,” she said, her voice gaining confidence. “We’ll figure out what feels right.” She looked at Feroz, her smile warm but tinged with curiosity, as if trying to decipher the layers behind his words. Feroz nodded, satisfied, and picked up his glass again, taking a slow sip.
“Good,” he said, his tone lighter now. “I’ll call him first thing tomorrow. For now, get some rest—you’ve got a big future to prepare for.” He flashed a playful grin, easing the room’s tension, and Danish laughed, pulling Kavya closer.
As Feroz excused himself to his room, Kavya watched him go, his broad shoulders retreating down the hallway. The night had been a whirlwind—of joy, connection, and unexpected moments—and now, with the prospect of marriage looming, she felt both anchored by Danish’s presence and stirred by the quiet intensity of Feroz’s resolve. The house settled into silence, but the air felt alive with possibility, the future unfolding faster than she’d ever imagined.
The morning after the wedding dawned bright, the golden sunlight filtering through the curtains of Feroz Khan’s home, casting a warm glow across the living room where the trio had shared their late-night conversation. The air still carried the faint echo of the previous evening’s festivities—laughter, music, and that unspoken moment between Feroz and Kavya that lingered in the quiet corners of her mind. Kavya, now dressed in a simple peach kurta, sipped her morning chai at the dining table, her thoughts drifting between excitement and nervous anticipation about Feroz’s declaration. Danish, still half-asleep in his pajamas, scrolled through his phone, occasionally chuckling at wedding photos posted online. Feroz, ever the early riser, was already dressed in a crisp kurta, his silver-flecked hair neatly combed, his demeanor purposeful as he prepared to follow through on his promise.
After breakfast, Feroz excused himself, his phone in hand, and stepped onto the balcony for privacy. The morning breeze carried the distant call of a muezzin as he dialed Maulana Qasim, a respected scholar and family friend known for his wisdom and warmth. The phone rang twice before Maulana’s calm, familiar voice answered, “As-salamu Alaikum, Feroz bhai. What brings you so early?”
“Wa Alaikum As-salam, Maulana,” Feroz replied, his tone warm but resolute. “I need your guidance on something important. It’s about Danish and Kavya—his fiancée. I want to move forward with their marriage, and I’d like your help to set a good date and begin the arrangements.”
Maulana Qasim’s voice carried a smile through the line. “Masha’,.', that’s wonderful news! Danish and Kavya are a fine pair. What’s prompted this urgency, if I may ask?” His tone was gentle, probing, as if sensing the weight behind Feroz’s words.
Feroz leaned against the balcony railing, his gaze drifting to the bustling street below. “Last night at the wedding, I saw them together—how they fit, how the family embraced Kavya. It felt right, Maulana. Life’s too short to wait when you know something’s meant to be.” His voice softened, tinged with a conviction that carried the memory of the previous evening—the way Kavya’s laughter had lit up the room, the fleeting moment their eyes had met when she adjusted her hair, stirring something unspoken in him.
Maulana Qasim listened thoughtfully, then responded, “Well said, Feroz bhai. A marriage blessed by love and family is a gift from ,.'. Let’s consult the calendar for an auspicious date. Have Danish and Kavya shared any preferences for the timing or the ceremony?”
Feroz paused, considering. “They’re still processing, I think,” he admitted with a chuckle. “I might’ve surprised them last night. But they’re ready, Maulana. Kavya’s sensible, and Danish—well, he’s got a good heart, even if he takes his time. I’d like it to be soon, within a few months, so we can celebrate while the family’s still buzzing from last night’s joy.”
Maulana Qasim hummed in agreement. “Very well. I’ll look at the ---c calendar and suggest a few dates—perhaps in the next three months, after Ramadan, when the community can gather easily. We’ll need to discuss the nikah, the mahr, and the guest list. Would you like me to meet with Danish and Kavya soon to counsel them?”
“Yes, that’d be perfect,” Feroz said, his voice brightening. “They’d appreciate your guidance. Kavya’s new to some of our traditions, and Danish could use a reminder to take this seriously.” He laughed softly, picturing his son’s playful grin. “I’ll bring them to the masjid this weekend if you’re free.”
“Consider it done,” Maulana Qasim replied warmly. “I’ll prepare some advice for them and check the dates. Let’s aim for a simple, heartfelt nikah—nothing too extravagant, but filled with barakah. I’ll call you tomorrow with the details.”
“Thank you, Maulana,” Feroz said, a weight lifting from his shoulders. “This means a lot to me—to all of us.” As he ended the call, he lingered on the balcony, the morning sun warming his face. His mind flickered back to Kavya—her grace, her quiet strength, and that fleeting moment at the wedding that had stirred something in him. He pushed the thought aside, focusing instead on the joy of seeing his son settled, but the memory lingered, subtle and persistent.
Back inside, Kavya and Danish were clearing the breakfast dishes, their easy banter filling the room. Danish nudged Kavya playfully, teasing her about her attempt at a dance move the night before. She swatted his arm, laughing, but her eyes flicked to Feroz as he reentered, sensing the purpose in his step. “Everything okay, Abbu?” Danish asked, drying his hands on a towel.
Feroz nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. “Just spoke with Maulana Qasim,” he said, settling into a chair. “He’s going to help us find a good date for your nikah. I suggested within a few months, after Ramadan. He wants to meet you both this weekend to talk it through.”
Kavya’s heart skipped a beat, her fingers pausing on the mug she was holding. The reality of Feroz’s words from last night was taking shape, and the speed of it both thrilled and unnerved her. She glanced at Danish, who looked equally surprised but excited, his grin returning. “Wow, you’re not messing around, Abbu,” he said, half-laughing. “You cool with this, Kavya?”
Kavya set the mug down, her smile soft but genuine. “It’s… a lot, but it feels right,” she said, her voice steadying as she spoke. “A few months sounds good. I’d love to meet Maulana Qasim and hear his advice.” Her eyes met Feroz’s, and for a moment, she felt the weight of his gaze—warm, encouraging, and tinged with that same intensity from the night before.
Feroz’s smile widened, his eyes crinkling with warmth. “Good. It’ll be a beautiful day, insha’,.'. We’ll make it simple, meaningful—just like you two.” He stood, clapping Danish on the shoulder. “Now, don’t slack off today. You’ve got a wedding to prepare for.” His tone was teasing, but his glance at Kavya held a quiet reassurance, as if to say he’d be there every step of the way.
As Feroz retreated to his study, Kavya and Danish exchanged a look, their excitement tempered by the weight of the moment. The house hummed with a new energy, the future unfolding before them, guided by Feroz’s unwavering vision and the subtle, unspoken threads that connected them all.

The writer has the gift of erotica. Those who come for cheap thrill should look elsewhere.
Look at the way how he described Kavya unintentionally showing her smooth underarm to her would be father-in-law Feroze who was mesmerized.

I'd like to see either Danish voluntarily offering the hand of Kavya to Feroze or even better Feroze declaring it himself. Or, the mom telling the son he's not man enough for the beauty and rather suggests she should become Abbu's second wife.

I know the author is more kinky than me and I'll lap up anything he dishes out. ?

No matter what my fantasy is, you, the author, are brilliant. Don't worry about your dustractors. There's a dedicated following of your diehard fans.

CHAPTER – 59


The sun hung low over Hyderabad, casting a golden hue across the bustling streets as Feroz, Danish, and Kavya sat in the living room, the air filled with the aroma of freshly brewed chai. A week had passed since Feroz’s call with Maulana Qasim, and the news had just arrived: the nikah was set for three months from now, a date deemed auspicious after Ramadan. Kavya’s heart fluttered with excitement and nerves, her peach kurta catching the soft lamplight as she exchanged a glance with Danish, who grinned, his eyes alight with anticipation. Feroz, at sixty, sat across from them, his silver-flecked hair neat, his cream kurta exuding quiet authority. The memory of their shared glance at the wedding lingered faintly in Kavya’s mind, but the focus now was on the future unfolding before them.

Feroz set his chai cup down, his expression warm yet purposeful. “Danish, Kavya,” he began, his voice steady, “now that the date’s fixed, I’ve been thinking. You should both move here to Hyderabad until the wedding. It’ll make things easier—shopping for the nikah, meeting with Maulana, picking out clothes, jewelry, all of it. The city’s got everything you need, and you won’t be running back and forth.”
Danish raised an eyebrow, leaning back on the couch. “Move here? Abbu, I’ve got work, and Kavya’s got her job too. It’s not that simple.”

Feroz waved a hand, his smile disarming. “Work can be managed—remote meetings, a few trips if needed. Kavya, your company’s flexible, isn’t it?” He turned to her, his gaze warm but piercing, carrying that same intensity she’d felt at the wedding. “Besides, I’m rattling around this big house alone. It’ll be good to have you both here. We’ll spend time together—meals, planning, maybe even some late-night talks like the old days, Danish.”
Kavya felt a warmth at his words, though her cheeks flushed slightly under his gaze. The idea of living with Feroz, his charismatic presence filling the house, stirred a mix of comfort and curiosity. “It does sound practical,” she said softly, glancing at Danish. “Hyderabad’s markets are perfect for wedding shopping—Charminar, Laad Bazaar. And… it’d be nice to spend time with you, Uncle.” She used the term respectfully, but her smile held a hint of playfulness, easing the formality.

Danish chuckled, sensing her agreement. “Okay, you’re ganging up on me,” he teased, nudging Kavya. “But yeah, it could be fun. Abbu’s cooking alone is worth the move.” He grinned at Feroz, who laughed, the sound rich and warm.
“It’s settled then,” Feroz said, clapping his hands together. “You’ll move in next week. I’ll clear out the guest rooms—Kavya, you’ll have your own space, of course. We’ll make this house lively again.” His eyes crinkled with a smile, but there was a flicker of something deeper as he looked at Kavya—gratitude, perhaps, for the life this change would bring to his home.

Over the next few days, plans took shape. Danish arranged to work remotely, while Kavya coordinated with her office for a temporary transfer. By the following weekend, their bags were unpacked in Feroz’s sprawling Hyderabad home, its high ceilings and old-world charm welcoming them. The house buzzed with new energy—Kavya’s laughter as she and Danish bickered over wedding colors, Feroz’s stories over dinner, his voice carrying the weight of experience as he shared tales of his own youth. One evening, as they sat on the veranda, Feroz pointed out the best shops for lehngas and sherwanis, his enthusiasm infectious. Kavya caught his eye, feeling a quiet connection in his warmth, his insistence on their presence a bridge between the past and their future.

As they settled into this new rhythm, the wedding drew closer, each day filled with shared meals, market trips, and moments that wove them closer as a family. Feroz’s home, once quiet, now hummed with anticipation, the promise of the nikah binding them in ways both expected and unspoken.

Kavya, Danish, and Feroz had settled into a new rhythm since the couple moved in a week ago, their suitcases now unpacked in the airy guest rooms. Kavya, in a flowing blue kurta, felt a thrill of novelty as she navigated this new chapter. She’d visited Hyderabad before—briefly, for that vibrant wedding with Danish, where she’d caught Feroz’s intense gaze—but living here until their nikah was different. It was an immersion into a world of ---c traditions and family life she’d only glimpsed, and her curious nature buzzed with anticipation. Kavya’s heart was wired to explore, and this move felt like stepping into a story she was eager to live.

Mornings began with the adhan echoing from a nearby mosque, a melodic call that stirred Kavya’s curiosity. She’d pause by her window, listening, as Feroz explained its significance over breakfast—his voice, blending wisdom with warmth. “It’s a reminder to center yourself,” he said one morning, passing her a plate of parathas. “Five times a day, it brings us back to what matters.” Kavya nodded, her eyes bright with questions, jotting mental notes to learn more. Danish, sipping his chai, grinned. “You’ll get used to it. Soon you’ll know the timings better than me.”

The house itself was a canvas of tradition. Feroz’s home, with its arched doorways and intricate jali work, felt like a bridge between past and present. Kavya wandered its halls, marveling at the framed calligraphy of Quranic verses, her fingers tracing the Urdu script as Feroz shared their meanings. “This one’s about patience,” he said, his gaze meeting hers briefly, that familiar intensity sparking a quiet flutter in her chest. She pushed it aside, focusing on the stories he told—tales of family weddings, Ramadan nights, and the nikah ceremonies of his youth. Her curiosity soaked it all in, eager to understand the rituals that would soon shape her own wedding.

Weekends were for exploration. Feroz, ever the enthusiastic guide, took them to Laad Bazaar, where Kavya’s eyes widened at the kaleidoscope of bangles and embroidered fabrics. She tried on a set of green glass bangles, their clink mingling with the market’s chatter. “Perfect for the mehndi,” Feroz said, his smile warm but with that disarming charm that made her cheeks flush. Danish, distracted by a vendor’s sherwanis, didn’t notice, but Kavya felt a mix of excitement and shyness under Feroz’s gaze. She was learning—how to dbang a dupatta for the masjid, the etiquette of greeting elders, the joy of breaking fast with dates during a practice iftar Feroz hosted to teach her.

One evening, as they sat on the veranda, the air thick with the scent of jasmine, Kavya asked Feroz about the nikah ceremony. “What’s it like, Uncle? The actual moment?” Her voice was soft, curious, her eyes searching his. Feroz leaned back, his silver hair catching the lamplight. “It’s simple but profound,” he said. “You and Danish will sit before Maulana Qasim, surrounded by family. He’ll recite verses, you’ll agree to the mahr, and you’ll promise to build a life together. It’s… sacred.” His words carried weight, and Kavya felt a surge of anticipation, imagining herself in that moment, Danish by her side, Feroz watching with pride.

One morning, as the sun filtered through the veranda, Kavya sat cross-legged with a book on ---c wedding customs, her brow furrowed as she read about the mahr. Feroz, sipping chai across from her, watched as she absentmindedly tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, the familiar gesture from the wedding night catching his eye. The 
movement revealed the soft curve of her neck, her skin glowing in the morning light, and for a moment, his breath caught, a flicker of admiration stirring in his chest. At sixty, his silver-flecked hair and warm eyes carried a seasoned charm, and he quickly averted his gaze, masking the moment with a sip of chai. “Learning fast, I see,” he said, his voice low and warm. Kavya looked up, her smile bright but innocent. “It’s fascinating, Uncle. What’s the mahr like in practice?” Her curiosity pulled him back, and he explained, his tone steady, though the memory of her grace lingered.

Later that week, in the living room, Kavya helped Feroz sort old family photos for the nikah, kneeling beside him on the rug. As they reached for the same album, their shoulders brushed, her warmth and faint jasmine scent sending a jolt through him. His fingers grazed hers, lingering a heartbeat too long before he pulled back, clearing his throat. “This one’s from my sister’s wedding,” he said, pointing to a faded photo, his charm smoothing the moment. Kavya, engrossed, laughed at the story he spun, oblivious to the way his eyes had traced her briefly, a quiet struggle between restraint and attraction playing out beneath his composed exterior.

In Laad Bazaar, Feroz guided them through vibrant stalls, his enthusiasm infectious as Kavya tried on a crimson shawl, the fabric dbanging elegantly over her frame. “It suits you,” he said, his gaze lingering on the way it accentuated her form, his tone carrying a warmth that felt almost too personal. Kavya, caught up in the mirror, smiled shyly. “You think so? I’m still learning what’s right for the mehndi.” She adjusted the shawl, unaware of the effect, while Feroz nodded, redirecting to the tradition of bridal attire, his heart a quiet battleground of duty and fleeting desire.
One night, after Danish retired early, Feroz and Kavya lingered on the veranda, the air heavy with jasmine. Kavya, curious, asked about Feroz’s own marriage, prompting a rare story of love and loss. As he spoke, his eyes softened, resting on her moonlit features, her attentive gaze stirring a warmth he quickly tamped down. “It’s a moment you never forget,” he said, his voice low. Kavya nodded, her response thoughtful, missing the undercurrent in his lingering look. “I can’t wait to experience it,” she said, her smile open, curious, keeping the moment light.

Two months had passed since Kavya and Danish moved into Feroz’s Hyderabad home, and the air was thick with the anticipation of the approaching nikah, now just weeks away. The house, once quiet, thrummed with life—rolls of fabric for the wedding outfits piled in the living room, the scent of henna lingering from Kavya’s practice designs, and the constant hum of planning. Kavya, in a flowing lavender kurta, had grown accustomed to the rhythm of Hyderabad, her curious nature drinking in ---c traditions like the intricate steps of a dance. Yet, living with Feroz, whose silver-flecked hair and charismatic presence filled the house at sixty, stirred a new awareness in her—a subtle, unspoken tension that grew as the wedding neared, particularly in fleeting moments with him.

Mornings were a ritual of shared chai on the veranda, where Feroz’s stories of family traditions wove a tapestry Kavya eagerly explored. One such morning, as she reached for the sugar bowl, her bangles clinked softly, her sleeve slipping to reveal the smooth curve of her wrist. Feroz’s gaze flickered there, a brief, unguarded moment, his eyes tracing the delicate line of her skin before he caught himself, offering a warm smile. “You’re getting the hang of this,” he said, nodding at her henna-stained fingers. Kavya, sensing the intensity in his look, felt a flutter in her chest—less curiosity now, more a tingling awareness of his attention. She smiled shyly, murmuring, “Thanks, Uncle,” but the warmth in her cheeks lingered, her heart quickening as she wondered at the shift.

In the evenings, the trio often gathered in the living room, planning the nikah’s details. One night, as Danish stepped out to take a call, Kavya and Feroz sorted through fabric swatches for the wedding decor. Their fingers brushed as they reached for the same piece of silk, the contact sending a jolt through Kavya. Feroz’s hand lingered a moment, his touch warm and steady, before he pulled back, his voice low as he said, “This gold suits your elegance.” The compliment, layered with his deep timbre, hung in the air. Kavya’s breath caught, her eyes meeting his, where a quiet intensity burned beneath his charm. She felt a rush—part embarrassment, part something deeper, unfamiliar—her pulse racing as she managed a soft, “You think so?” Her voice was steady, but her fingers trembled slightly as she adjusted her dupatta, suddenly hyper-aware of his nearness.

A trip to Charminar for jewelry shopping intensified the undercurrent. As Kavya tried on a pair of jhumkas, the mirror reflecting her reflection beside Feroz’s tall frame, he leaned closer to adjust the earring that had caught in her hair. His fingers grazed her earlobe, a fleeting touch that sent a shiver down her spine. “Perfect,” he murmured, his breath warm against her cheek, his eyes locking with hers in the mirror. Kavya’s heart pounded, a mix of flattery and unease swirling within her. She was used to his guidance, his warmth, but this felt different—his gaze held a weight that made her skin prickle, her body responding in ways she hadn’t expected. “Thank you,” she whispered, turning away to hide the flush creeping up her neck, her curiosity now tinged with a quiet, confusing pull toward him.

The Hyderabad home vibrated with the feverish anticipation of the nikah, now just ten days away. The living room was a vibrant chaos of silk swatches, henna-stained papers, and the lingering scent of sandalwood incense, blending with the faint jasmine of Kavya’s perfume. Kavya, dbangd in a flowing coral kurta, had woven herself into the household’s rhythm, her curious nature drinking in ---c traditions—the adhan’s haunting call at dawn, the intricate rituals of family gatherings, the stories Feroz shared with his sixty-year-old charisma. His silver-flecked hair gleamed under the lamplight, his magnetic presence filling every corner with a quiet authority. The subtle tension between them had deepened over weeks, a silent pulse in stolen glances, accidental touches, and moments that left Kavya’s heart racing under his intense, warm gaze. She felt it—a stirring she couldn’t fully name, a warmth she buried beneath her focus on Danish and the wedding, yet it lingered, growing stronger with each passing day.

One sultry evening, after a long day of finalizing the nikah’s decor, Danish retired early, exhausted from work calls, his footsteps fading down the hall. Kavya lingered in the living room, her fingers tracing the delicate filigree of a gold bangle from Feroz’s family collection, its cool metal grounding her as she studied it under the soft glow of a single lamp. Feroz joined her, his crisp kurta accentuating his tall, broad frame, offering a steaming cup of tea. “Thought you might need this,” he said, his voice low and resonant, a smile crinkling the corners of his eyes, where wisdom and charm intertwined. Their fingers brushed as she took the cup, the brief contact sending a shiver through her, her pulse quickening. “Thanks, Uncle,” she murmured, her voice soft, her curiosity piqued as she asked about the bangle’s history—a heirloom from his mother, worn at her own nikah. His deep, velvety explanation held her captive, but his gaze, warm and piercing, seemed to see through her, igniting a flush across her cheeks. She shifted, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, her bangles clinking softly, aware of the quiet intensity in his eyes.

Suddenly, the lights flickered and died, plunging the house into an inky, suffocating darkness. The air conditioner’s hum fell silent, leaving only the distant chirp of crickets and the faint rustle of leaves outside. Kavya’s breath caught, her childhood fear of darkness clawing at her chest, a primal panic tightening her throat. The bangle slipped from her trembling fingers, clinking sharply on the hardwood floor. “Oh no,” she whispered, her voice quivering, her heart pounding as the darkness pressed in, swallowing the room’s familiar contours. Feroz, sensing her distress, set his cup down with a soft clink, his silhouette barely discernible in the sliver of moonlight filtering through the jali windows. “Just a power cut,” he said, his voice a steady anchor, laced with a gentle concern that cut through her fear. “I’ll get you to your room, Kavya. Don’t worry about the bangle—I’ll find it.”

She nodded, her breath uneven, the darkness amplifying her unease until it was a living thing, wrapping around her. Feroz retrieved his phone, its faint glow casting soft shadows across his face, illuminating the strong lines of his jaw, the warmth in his dark eyes, and the silver streaks in his hair. “Stay close,” he said, his tone gentle but firm, a command wrapped in care as he stepped toward her. Kavya stood, clutching the edge of her kurta, her fingers trembling as she followed him toward the staircase. The house felt vast and otherworldly, its familiar corners morphed into shadowy unknowns. Her breath came in shallow bursts, her fear mingling with the electric awareness of Feroz’s nearness, his steady presence a beacon in the dark.

The staircase loomed narrow and steep, its old wood creaking under their steps, the silence heavy with the weight of their shared breaths. Kavya’s fear surged, the darkness pressing closer, her imagination conjuring unseen shapes in every shadow. Her fingers grazed the wall for balance, her heart hammering as they climbed. Halfway up, a sudden gust from an open window rattled a shutter, the sharp sound slicing through the quiet. Kavya gasped, her foot catching on a worn step, her body tilting backward into the void. The bangle, forgotten in her panic, was no longer in her mind as she flailed, a soft cry escaping her lips, her arms reaching instinctively for something to hold.


Feroz spun instantly, his reflexes sharp despite his sixty years. His arms encircled her waist, pulling her toward him with a firm, protective grip, one hand pressing against the soft curve of her midriff, the thin coral kurta a fragile barrier between his fingers and her skin. Kavya fell against him, her chest pressing into his, her loose hair spilling forward like a silken cascade, brushing across his face and neck. The strands carried the intoxicating scent of jasmine, mingling with the warmth of her skin, enveloping Feroz in a sensory storm that set his heart racing. As he steadied her, his nose grazed the delicate curve of her neck, the accidental contact sending a jolt through him, electric and overwhelming. Her warmth, the softness under his hand, the faint pulse beneath his fingertips—it ignited a deep, restrained longing, a quiet fire he fought to suppress, his sixty years of wisdom battling the pull of her nearness.
Kavya’s breath hitched, her fear of the dark drowned by the sudden, visceral intimacy. The firmness of Feroz’s grip, the warmth of his body against hers, the fleeting brush of his breath against her neck—it sent a shiver through her, a tingling heat spreading from where his hand held her, radiating through her core. Her hands clutched his shoulders, fingers digging into the crisp fabric of his kurta, anchoring herself against the dizzying sensation. In the dim glow of his phone, their eyes locked, mere inches apart, the confined staircase holding them in its embrace. Feroz’s gaze was molten, a storm of concern and something deeper, his pupils dilated in the half-light, betraying a quiet intensity that made her pulse race. Kavya’s own heart pounded, her skin prickling under his touch, a confusing rush of safety and an electric warmth she hadn’t anticipated. The moment stretched, their breaths mingling, the air thick with a magnetic tension that felt both forbidden and all-consuming, the darkness cocooning them in a world where only they existed.

The staircase seemed to conspire to hold them there, its narrow confines amplifying their closeness. Feroz’s eyes flicked downward, catching the glint of the bangle on the step below. “The bangle,” he murmured, his voice husky, a tremor of restraint threading through his charm. Keeping one hand lightly on her waist to ensure her balance, he bent slowly to retrieve it, his movements deliberate in the tight space. The faint glow of his phone cast shadows across her form, highlighting the gentle curve of her silhouette, the soft rise and fall of her breath. As he reached down, his fingers brushed the cool metal of the bangle, but another creak of the stairs made Kavya wobble slightly, her fear flaring anew. She gasped, her hand tightening on his shoulder, her body swaying closer. Feroz straightened quickly, instinctively placing his free hand back on her waist, both hands now anchoring her with a gentle, steadying touch, his fingers pressing lightly against the soft curve of her midriff. The added contact intensified the moment, the warmth of her body seeping into him, the faint pulse under his fingertips a silent rhythm that matched his own racing heart.
The air felt charged, the faint scent of her jasmine perfume mingling with his musky cologne, creating a heady cocoon in the darkness. Kavya’s heart thundered, her body hyper-aware of his touch, the warmth of both his hands now, the nearness of his face. The darkness, her fear, seemed to dissolve under the weight of his presence, replaced by a rush of warmth that left her breathless. Her fingers tightened on his shoulders, her breath uneven, as she felt the steady strength of his grip, the subtle pressure of his hands grounding her yet stirring something deeper, a warmth that pulsed through her veins. “I’m still scared,” she whispered, her voice barely audible, a vulnerable admission that prolonged their closeness, her eyes searching his in the dim light. Feroz’s gaze softened, his eyes tracing her face—the flush of her cheeks, the slight parting of her lips, the way her hair framed her face like a halo. “You’re safe with me, Kavya,” he said, his voice low and resonant, carrying a weight that made her pulse race faster, the words both a promise and a confession.
The staircase held them captive, the moment stretching further as neither moved to break it. The faint glow of his phone flickered, casting fleeting shadows that danced across their faces, amplifying the intimacy. Feroz’s hands lingered on her waist, a steady anchor, his fingers brushing the soft fabric of her kurta, the warmth of her skin beneath a quiet temptation he fought to suppress. Kavya’s breath trembled, her body caught between fear and the electric pull of his nearness, her curiosity now laced with a warmth she couldn’t fully name. The silence was heavy, filled with the unspoken, their eyes locked in a gaze that seemed to peel back layers, revealing a shared awareness neither could voice. The bangle rested in his hand, forgotten for a moment, as the world narrowed to the space between them—their breaths, their warmth, the magnetic pull of their closeness.
Finally, Feroz handed her the bangle, their fingers brushing, the contact sending another shiver through her. “Got it,” he said softly, his eyes locking with hers, a quiet intensity burning beneath his concern, his hands lingering a heartbeat longer before one fell away, the other still steadying her. Kavya took the bangle, her fingers trembling, her cheeks flushed, her skin still tingling where his hands had been. “Thank you, Uncle,” she whispered, her voice unsteady, her eyes holding his for a moment longer, caught in the intensity of his gaze. She stepped back, tucking her hair behind her ear with unsteady fingers, the memory of his hands, his breath, the prolonged closeness replaying vividly.
They resumed climbing, Feroz’s phone casting a faint glow, but the air between them was alive, thick with the echo of their extended moment. At her bedroom door, he paused, his silhouette tall and steady. “You’re safe now,” he said, his voice softer, his gaze holding hers with an intensity that made her breath catch again. “Sleep well, Kavya.” She nodded, her throat tight, managing a quiet, “Goodnight.” As he turned to leave, she leaned against the door, her pulse racing, the sensation of his hands, his breath, the electric closeness etched into her senses. The fear of the dark was gone, replaced by a new, unspoken awareness that pulsed within her, a curiosity now laced with a warmth she couldn’t fully name.
Feroz descended the stairs, his heart unsteady, the sensation of her waist, the scent of her hair, the prolonged intensity of their moment seared into his memory. He pushed it down, his sixty years of wisdom anchoring him, but the encounter lingered, a silent thread woven into their shared days. The nikah loomed, binding Kavya and Danish, but in the quiet of the Hyderabad home, this fleeting, intense moment left a deeper mark, a tension simmering beneath the surface as the wedding drew near.
