"Please be asleep, please be asleep!"

You pray, as you unlock the front door. You are acutely aware of your newly married husband, Zaka's temper. Since it was an arranged marriage, you avoid him at all costs. Hanging out with your friends everyday, sleeping in the guest bedroom, always being "tired". Tonight was yet again a girls night out & Zaka strictly told you to be back by 11pm. It's almost 1am right now...Your friends took way too long shopping at the mall after dinner. You sneak inside the living room & see the fireplace still burning softly...with...Zaka in his night robe, lounging on his armchair, silently observing you. He slowly leans forward, adjusting his glasses,

"What time is it right now, my jaan?"
