From Drool to Bagula
The entire day had passed in a whirlwind of introductions, chatter, and exploring. Ammi stayed with me, helping me meet the maids, the servants, and showing me every corner of the house. By the end of it, I was so exhausted that I barely made it through lunch before I collapsed into a deep sleep.
I had avoided the bed again, sticking to the couch out of sheer nervousness. I don’t dare touch the bed. And yet, as I drifted off, my thoughts circled back to Taha.
What’s with him? He’s so confusing! Ughhh. One moment, he’s kneeling in front of me, sliding a ring onto my finger like I mean something to him.
The next, he’s ignoring the clothes I carefully took out for him this morning, as if telling me to not interfere in his life. What does it mean? Does he respect me or just want to confuse me to death?
I groaned inwardly, trying to make sense of his actions, but my exhaustion got the better of me. My thoughts blurred into dreams, and before I knew it, I was fast asleep like a log.
The next thing I knew, a deep, frustrated voice snapped me awake. My eyelids fluttered open, and I blinked at the dim light of the bedroom.
The voice wasn’t just deep—it was sharp, angry, and trying hard not to yell but failing miserably.
Taha was standing in the room, his back to me, talking on the phone. His tall, broad frame looked even more intimidating in the low light, and I could sense the frustration radiating off him. My breath hitched as my eyes darted to the clock.
Oh my Allah, I slept through the entire evening?! Panic set in as I realized how late it was. I peeked at him again, feeling a wave of guilt.
I peeked at him again, feeling a wave of guilt. He was pacing, his words low but biting, his tone enough to send shivers down my spine. Clearly, whoever he was talking to had managed to push him over the edge.
And then, he cut the call with a sharp, annoyed motion. The silence that followed was deafening.
I barely had a moment to process when he suddenly turned around
My breath hitched again, and I swear my heart skipped a beat. His gaze was piercing, intense, and oh-so-unreadable, as always.
It was like I was frozen in place under the weight of his stare.
And then, he spoke. His deep, cold voice cut through the silence like a thunderclap.
Taha zayan Mirza/ML/
“You’re drooling all over your chin. Go clean it. It’s dinner time.”
The words hit me like a lightning bolt. WHAT?!
I blinked, dumbfounded, as my hand flew to my chin in horror. Oh Allah, no… no, no, no! My fingers brushed against something wet, and I felt my soul leave my body. Drool? Drool! DROOL?!
Before I could even gather myself, he walked out of the room, leaving me sitting there with my shame. I swear, if there were a hole in the ground right now, I’d happily bury myself in it forever.
Drool, Ruhani? Really? And he SAW it? And COMMENTED on it? Ya Allah, why am I like this?
I groaned loudly, covering my face with my hands. The embarrassment was too much. My cheeks were burning so badly they could probably set the room on fire.
Ruhani Taha Mirza/FL/
“Ughhhhhhhhhh!” **I groaned again, louder this time.*
Ruhani Taha Mirza/FL/
**I quickly wiped my chin, muttering under my breath**
Just great. Amazing first impression, Ruhani. Now he’ll think he married a sleepy drool machine. Fantastic.
I stood up and stumbled to the bathroom to clean my face, my mind replaying the humiliation over and over. Why, Allah? Why me?
As I splashed water on my face, I couldn’t decide whether to laugh, cry, or just crawl back under the covers and sleep for another hundred years.
One thing was certain—this was a moment I’d never forget. And knowing Taha, he wouldn’t either.
I walked down the stairs, my heart hammering in my chest. Everyone was already gathered in the living room.
I silently made my way to the couch, my eyes fixed firmly on the floor. The moment I sat beside Taha, I couldn’t bring myself to look at him.
Ugh, why does this always happen to me? My cheeks were on fire again from the earlier incident, and I could feel them burning like a furnace.
I stole a quick glance at him, and to my horror, he was already looking at me. My eyes shot down immediately, feeling like a complete fool.
Why is this happening? His lips barely curved up, but I could tell he was holding back a laugh. No, no, no! He had sensed my embarrassment—of course he did. I could practically feel the amusement in his gaze.
Like a little embarrassed bunny, I shrank further into myself, my ears burning. My head hung lower, desperately wishing I could just vanish into thin air.
That’s when Ayyan decided to speak, and of course, I wanted to disappear even more.
Ayyan Mirza/ML Brother/
**Ayyan, in his usual teasing tone said**
Waise… bhai thode thode bagula jaise dikhte bhi hain, nahi Ammi?
[ "By the way... brother, you do look a bit like a heron, don't you, Mom? ]
The whole room erupted in laughter, and my eyes widened in shock. Bagula?! Did he just say… Bagula?!
I wanted to crawl under the couch and never show my face again. My heart sank as I heard Taha’s voice, deep and frustrated.
Taha zayan Mirza/ML/
Bagula?? **he muttered, his frown deepening**
Ayyan, what the heck are you saying?!
[ Heron ?? ]
I could practically feel Taha’s frustration radiating off him. Oh Allah, what now? I felt my face grow even hotter.
Ayyan Mirza/ML Brother/
**But then, Ayyan, ever the troublemaker, didn’t stop there**
Main nahi keh raha tha bhai ke aap bagula ho, wo toh hamari pyari bhabhi ne pyar se aapko naya naam diya, nahi Ammi?
[ "I'm not saying, brother, that you are a heron. It was our dear sister-in-law who lovingly gave you a new name, right, Mom? ]
I froze. My eyes widened in horror. Wait, what?! Ayyan had just said that out loud—in front of everyone! I had called him bagula this morning as a joke, but to have it come out like that? In front of Taha? In front of everyone?
Ruqayya Mirza/ML Mom/
**Ammi chimed in, trying to smooth things over.**
“Taha, gussa kyun ho rahe ho? Biwi hai tumhari wo, ek naam toh diya hai, is mein itna kya gussa karna?”
[ Taha, why are you getting angry? She's your wife, she gave you a name with love, why get so upset about it? ]
My face was now a shade of red I didn’t know existed. I can’t believe this is happening. How am I supposed to face him now? I wanted to curl up into a tiny ball and roll away to some far-off land where none of this would matter.
Dadi*Grandmother*
**Then Dadi, who was clearly enjoying the scene, added her two cents.**
“Aur nahi toh kya? Meri bachhi ne toh sirf bagula kaha tumhe. Maine toh tumhare dada ko dari wala bakra bulati thi! Bagula toh phir bhi kuch nahi hai. Abhi toh Ruhani ko aur progress karna hai."
[ And what else? My daughter just called you a heron. I used to call your grandfather 'the goat with a beard!' The heron is nothing. Ruhani still has to make more progress. ]
That’s it.
Progress?! Oh, my Allah, could I just… not exist right now?
With all eyes on me, I couldn’t bear it anymore. The sharp, heated gaze of Taha on my back was enough to send me bolting out of the room. I dashed to the kitchen, practically flying to the safety of its quiet corners.
I could still hear everyone’s laughter behind me, but I couldn’t look back. The embarrassment was too much. Why did Ayyan have to say that in front of him? First, it was drool, and now this? Bagula?! Oh Allah, kill me now.
I stood in the kitchen, pressing my hands to my burning face. I want to go back to my home. I want to hide in my closet. Never come out. Ever.
Ruhani Taha Mirza/FL/
(╥﹏╥)
How was I supposed to face him again after this? How could I ever look him in the eye without dying from the embarrassment?
And the worst part? I had actually called him bagula this morning, but now… now it was out there for everyone to hear.
Well done, Ruhani. Just well done. The first Day of Marriage!!
