When a Fairy Becomes My Wife
meeting
It’s eleven o'clock at night. I haven't even had the chance to go home and eat yet. I’m tired of the constant noise of this world, and on top of that, my stepmother’s incessant nagging is unbearable. I work all day to earn a living, yet it’s never enough for her. She wants more money, as if I’m some kind of cash machine.
I’m walking home. There’s no transport available, and besides, if I took a car, my stepmother would start taunting me, saying the "young lord" can't walk on his own feet and needs a carriage!
Ugh, my legs are giving out after working all day. It feels like my ankles are about to fall off. I can’t walk any further. I need to sit and rest for a bit before heading home. I sat down by the roadside. Next to me is a paddy field, and beyond that, a dense jungle. I’m scared, but I have no choice—my legs simply won’t move. Suddenly, I felt as if someone was sitting right next to me. I looked around, but there was no one.
Suddenly, I felt the weight of someone resting their head on my shoulder. Now I was really panicked. "
akash(ml)
Who... who is it?" I stammered, but I saw no one
I couldn’t stay there. I tried to get up quickly to leave, but it felt like someone was hugging me from behind. Fear gripped me; sweat started pouring down my forehead. But I still couldn't see anyone
akash(ml)
Please, who are you? Come forward, I’m very scared!" 😢
...
An invisible voice spoke, "There’s nothing to fear. I won’t harm you. But if I appear before you, you won't be able to handle it. The sight of my beauty might blind you.
akash(ml)
My fear intensified. "Who are you? And why won't I be able to handle seeing you?"
...
The invisible voice replied, "Because I am a fairy!"
Hearing the word "fairy," I felt like I was about to lose my mind from terror. I stayed silent, frozen in fear.
...
The voice asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
akash(ml)
I... I don't know what to say. What should I say?"
...
Let's go sit over there, on the grass," the voice suggested.
akash(ml)
Okay," I whispered. I followed because I was afraid she might snap my neck if I refused. "Okay, where are you? I’m sitting on the grass now."
...
The voice came from right beside me, "I’m right here."
akash(ml)
Can I ask you something?"
akash(ml)
Look, how can I talk to you if you don't show yourself? Please, come in front of me!"
...
"Fine, I will. But first, tell me—what kind of girl do you like? Who is the queen of your dreams?"
akash(ml)
"I like a simple girl. Someone wearing a simple white dress, someone I would fall in love with at first sight. I’d lose myself in her beauty."
Suddenly, I saw a beam of white light descending from above. The light grew larger and became so bright that I had to shield my eyes; I couldn't see a thing
Then, everything cleared up and returned to normal. I turned my head and saw a girl in a white dress sitting next to me. My whole world shifted the moment I looked at her. I had never seen such a beautiful girl on this earth. It felt as if a Hoor from Paradise had descended to earth by mistake.
I just stared at her, mouth agape
mabshurah(fl)
Hey, what are you looking at? I’m feeling shy... don't stare like that."
Her words snapped me out of my trance. My mind was racing, and I blurted out a string of questions: "What is your name? Where do you live? What do you do? Who else is in your family?"
mabshurah(fl)
The girl laughed, "Hey, stop, stop! Ask one by one. How can I answer so many questions at once?
akash(ml)
I went silent. 😑
mabshurah(fl)
She said, "My name is Mabshuratun Noor, but everyone calls me Mabshurah. My home is in Pari-Palok (Fairy-Realm). I live there with my father and mother.
akash(ml)
"If you are a fairy, what are you doing on earth?" I asked, my fear finally fading
mabshurah(fl)
I’ve come to earth to find my soulmate," she replied. "Since I was little, I’ve had one wish: to marry a human and make him the heir to my father’s throne."
akash(ml)
I don't understand," I said.
mabshurah(fl)
Mabshurah’s father is the King of Pari-Palok," she explained. "He wants me to be his successor. But some corrupt fairies in our realm don't want that. They want a male heir. Since my father has no sons, they are plotting to seize the throne
mabshurah(fl)
Mabshurah stood up. "My time is up for today. I must go. Can we talk again tomorrow?"
akash(ml)
I had enjoyed talking to her so much that I felt sad the moment she mentioned leaving. "Will we really talk again?"
mabshurah(fl)
Yes, I will wait for you here at the same time tomorrow. Will you come?
mabshurah(fl)
"There are only three minutes left. I have to go. Quick, close your eyes.
akash(ml)
Why should I close my eyes?"
mabshurah(fl)
Just do as I say! And don't open them until I tell you to."
I closed my eyes. Suddenly, I felt my lips being claimed by someone. I felt the warmth of another’s lips. Surprisingly, it felt wonderful.
mabshurah(fl)
Don't open your eyes yet," Mabshurah whispered.
mabshurah(fl)
A moment later, she let go. "I’m changing my form now. If you open your eyes, it will harm you."
akash(ml)
I kept my eyes shut. After a while, she said
mabshurah(fl)
Now you can open them
akash(ml)
" I opened my eyes, but Mabshurah was nowhere to be found. Where did she go?
I called out for her, but there was no response. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and checked the time. My heart skipped a beat—it was two in the morning! My stepmother would kill me today. I hurried toward home, but I couldn't help noticing that my lips still felt sweet, as if I had eaten hundreds of pounds of sweets from a warehouse.
I was almost home. (Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Akash. I studied up to the second year of my honors degree, but I had to stop because my mother passed away. Later, my father remarried, and my stepmother didn't want me to study anymore. So, I work in a small shop. This identity is just for the sake of the story.)
Back to the story.
As soon as I reached home, I called out to my stepmother. She opened the door and immediately unleashed a barrage of insults.
...
Where was the 'young lord's son' until this late? Don't you have a home? You’re ruining my sleep just to open the door for you. If this happens again, there's no place for you in this house!
What could I do? Listening to such words has always been my fate. I hung my head, went to my room, and freshened up. But I noticed something—when I took off my shirt, a fragrance wafted from it. It was intoxicating, driving me crazy with its sweetness. I ate my dinner and lay down.
I kept thinking about what had just happened. I had fallen for that girl in just one day. Would Mabshurah really wait for me tomorrow? I couldn't get her out of my head. Eventually, I drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, back in Pari-Palok...
...
Mabshurah’s father asked, "So, did you find a sacrificial lamb?"
mabshurah(fl)
Mabshurah smiled. "Yes, Father... I’ve found our sacrificial lamb." 👰
.
mabshurah(fl)
Yes, Father, I’ve found him," Mabshurah replied calmly.
...
And how long will it take you to seduce him?" he asked.
mabshurah(fl)
Not long, Father. You all just need to be patient for a few more days."
...
Very well...!" her father agreed
...
Meanwhile, in the human world, Akash was fast asleep. Suddenly, he felt drops of water hitting him. Is the roof leaking? he wondered groggily. Is it raining outside and coming into the room? He forced his eyes open only to see his stepmother standing over him with a bucket of water. He immediately realized where the "rain" had come from.
...
Hey, you son of a lord! Isn't it morning yet?" his stepmother barked. "Do you have any idea what time it is? Why aren't you going to work?"
akash(ml)
Mother, please... let me sleep a little longer," Akash pleaded.
...
Fine, sleep all you want! But don't expect a single grain of food in this house today
akash(ml)
Mother, why do you treat me like this?"
...
"How do I treat you? You’re lying here sleeping instead of working—who’s going to pay for the groceries? Your father? Everything your father earns goes into our expenses. I can’t do extra for you. Earn your own keep, only then will you get food in this house!"
akash(ml)
Okay, Mother, I’m going. Just give me some breakfast.
...
We’ve already eaten. There’s nothing left for you. Go to work without breakfast, or you won't even get dinner tonight!" she snapped before storming out of the room.
Tears welled up in Akash’s eyes. Stepmother or not, she was still the woman he called 'Mother.' How could she be so heartless? She had a daughter of her own for whom everything was always ready, yet Akash couldn't even get a simple breakfast.
akash(ml)
If my own mother were alive today, she would never have treated me like this, he thought. He freshened up and left for work, making do with just a banana and some bread for lunch.
akash(ml)
After work, he walked back to that same spot by the roadside and sat down to wait for Mabshurah. She had promised to come at the same time. As he sat there, his stomach groaned; he was starving.
...
A moment later, an invisible voice spoke, "You've arrived."
akash(ml)
Yes, I’ve been here for a while. Why are you so late?
...
Oh, don't ask!" Mabshurah replied. "As I was leaving the realm, I almost got caught crossing the Fairy-Border. Some guards spotted me and gave chase. I had to lead them on a detour through another path before I could finally get to earth."
akash(ml)
Can you come in front of me now?"
mabshurah(fl)
Alright, but close your eyes first."
mabshurah(fl)
Akash complied. A moment later, Mabshurah appeared in her simple white dress and sat beside him.
mabshurah(fl)
What's wrong? Why does your face look so haggard?" she asked.
akash(ml)
I didn't have breakfast this morning, and whatever I had for lunch is long gone. My stomach is empty... I'm really hungry."
mabshurah(fl)
Okay, wait. Close your eyes again."
mabshurah(fl)
Just do it!"
mabshurah(fl)
Listen," Mabshurah said softly, "don't open your eyes until you are full. Just keep thinking about your favorite foods. As long as your hunger isn't satisfied, keep 'sipping,' okay?"
akash(ml)
Akash was confused. "I get the part about the food, but what am I sipping?"
mabshurah(fl)
Wait," she whispered. She pressed her lips against his. Her lips were so sweet that he felt an urge to bite into them, but he remembered her instructions. He focused on the thought of Pulao and beef liver roast.
Suddenly, it felt as if the feast was right in front of him. As he kissed Mabshurah, it tasted exactly like the rich flavors of Pulao and spicy liver roast. He "ate" until he was completely full; he couldn't take another bite.
mabshurah(fl)
"Is your stomach full?" Mabshurah asked with a sweet smile. ☺
akash(ml)
Yes," Akash replied, feeling a bit shy. What am I doing? he thought. I just spent all that time kissing a fairy! 🧐 But whenever he kissed her, he seemed to lose all sense of the world around him.
mabshurah(fl)
Why are you blushing? It's just me... ☺"
akash(ml)
Yeah... Mabshurah, why are you so kind?"
mabshurah(fl)
Am I?" she teased. 🤥
akash(ml)
Yes, you are. ☺ I wish everyone was as kind as you, especially my stepmother..." 😔
mabshurah(fl)
Why? What’s wrong with your stepmother?"
akash(ml)
It’s a long story."
mabshurah(fl)
Wait a second," Mabshurah said, placing her hand on his forehead. After a moment, her expression darkened. "Wow, your mother is truly wicked! Why does she treat you so unfairly? She didn't even let you eat this morning?"
akash(ml)
Akash was stunned. 😲😲😲 "How... how do you know that?"
mabshurah(fl)
"I saw everything by touching your forehead. ☺"
mabshurah(fl)
"Yes. In our realm, we can read a person's thoughts and memories by touching them. And listen, don't worry—I'll 'fix' your mother for you."
akash(ml)
Please, no! Don't hurt her. She’s still my mother!" 😔
mabshurah(fl)
"I won't harm her. I'll just make sure she stops causing you pain."
akash(ml)
Okay then... 🤗 By the way, tell me something. Why are your lips so sweet?"
mabshurah(fl)
Because we fairies only drink honey. Our kingdom has rivers of it. Everyone in Pari-Palok has sweet lips."
akash(ml)
So," Akash asked, "you came to earth to find your soulmate. Did you find him?"
mabshurah(fl)
Yes, I did. ☺"
akash(ml)
Where is he? What does he look like?"
mabshurah(fl)
He's sitting right next to me. ☺ He’s very handsome with a very charming face. 🙂
akash(ml)
Wait, what? 🤥 He's sitting next to you? 🤔"
mabshurah(fl)
You don't need to understand everything yet," she teased. 🤨 "You'll know when the time is right. And listen, from now on, stop being so formal. Call me 'Tumie' instead of 'Apni' (the formal 'you'), understood?"
akash(ml)
Alright. But I'm not that old... aren't you older than me?
mabshurah(fl)
Formal again? 😡😡
akash(ml)
I mean... aren't you older? 😣"
mabshurah(fl)
Yes, I am quite a bit older than you
akash(ml)
How much older? 🙄
mabshurah(fl)
At least two hundred years
mabshurah(fl)
Yes. In our realm, I’m not even old enough to get married yet
Akash’s head was spinning. Two hundred years old and not even marriageable age?! 😶
mabshurah(fl)
Listen," Mabshurah continued, "from tomorrow, I’ll be able to come to earth at any time. Whenever you need me, just think of me, okay?"
akash(ml)
"I will. But you said you could only come at night?"
mabshurah(fl)
"I did, but my father is going to teach me a special mantra tonight. After that, I can come whenever I want!"
akash(ml)
Oh, that’s great!"
mabshurah(fl)
Yes. Well, I should go now before they close the gates of the Fairy Realm, or I won't be able to get back."
mabshurah(fl)
I’m leaving, but remember—don't you dare look at any other girls!" she warned. "If you do, I’ll pluck your eyes out!
mabshurah(fl)
Close your eyes
mabshurah(fl)
Akash closed his eyes, and Mabshurah vanished. Once again, it was very late. He knew his stepmother would scream at him, but he didn't care. The time he spent with Mabshurah was worth any amount of scolding.
He went home, endured his mother's nagging for a while, ate, and went to bed. The next morning, he headed to work as usual.
akash(ml)
While he was working, his friend Sajjad called. "Hey Sajjad, what's up?
...
Where are you?" Sajjad asked.
akash(ml)
At the shop, why?"
...
Come to Farmgate right now, I have some work for you
akash(ml)
Okay, hold on. Let me get permission from my boss
akash(ml)
Akash took an hour off and headed to Farmgate. Once there, he called Sajjad. "I'm here, where are you?"
...
I'm across the street in front of the shopping mall. I see you! Cross the road and come over here
akash(ml)
Okay, I'm coming
He hung up and started to cross the street. Suddenly, a massive truck came barreling toward him at high speed. He looked to the other side, but there was traffic there too. He was trapped. The truck was almost upon him. Panicked and unable to move, he sat down on the road, covered his head with his hands, and screamed Mabshurah’s name in his mind.
Suddenly, he saw the truck literally fly over his head!
Akash was speechless. 😲😲😲😲
solution
As I hung up the phone and started to cross the road, a massive truck came charging toward me. I tried to step back, but there were cars behind me; I tried to move forward, but the truck was closing in. Paralyzed with confusion, I sat down and covered my head, screaming Mabshurah’s name in my mind...!
Suddenly, I saw the truck fly right over my head. I was stunned. A hand touched my shoulder from behind, and a voice asked
akash(ml)
I turned around—it was Mabshurah! 😲 "How did you get here? And how did that truck fly over my head?"
mabshurah(fl)
"What did I tell you yesterday?" Mabshurah replied. "I can come to earth whenever I want now. I’m the one who made that truck fly. You called for me, so I came. Otherwise, you would have been in big trouble."
I looked around; everyone seemed normal. No one was even looking our way. How could an entire truck fly over someone’s head without anyone noticing? My brain was spinning
mabshurah(fl)
"Don't worry," Mabshurah said. "Only you saw what happened. No one else did."
mabshurah(fl)
"So, where are you going?" she asked.
akash(ml)
Sajjad called. He said it’s urgent."
mabshurah(fl)
"Let's go. I'm coming with you!"
akash(ml)
"What?! 🥵 What will Sajjad say if he sees you? What do I tell him?""What?! 🥵 What will Sajjad say if he sees you? What do I tell him?"
mabshurah(fl)
"Tell him whatever you want. Leave the rest to me; I’ll handle it.
She practically forced herself along. Sajjad was waiting for me, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw Mabshurah.
akash(ml)
"Hey, why is your mouth hanging open?" I asked.
...
Who... who is she?" Sajjad stammered.
akash(ml)
"Oh, she’s... no one special," I started to say.
mabshurah(fl)
But Mabshurah cut me off. "No one special? I’m your girlfriend! Why are you so shy to admit it?"
Sajjad shot me a look of pure shock and anger. Akash, what is Mabshurah saying? 😣 Sajjad is going to kill me!
Akash, come here for a second. We need to talk," Sajjad said, pulling me aside.
...
Bro, you're in a relationship and you didn't even tell me once?"
akash(ml)
It's not really like that—"
...
Oh, shut up, you're caught! But seriously, Akash, where did you find someone so beautiful?" 🙁
akash(ml)
I'll tell you everything later. Let's go
akash(ml)
We went to a restaurant. "So," I asked, "why did you call me so urgently?
akash(ml)
"No way! Really?"
...
Yeah! I called you right after I found out. I haven't even gone home yet!"
The three of us ate together and then left. Sajjad headed home, and Mabshurah and I took a rickshaw toward my workplace
akash(ml)
"Mabshurah, why did you tell Sajjad all that? That you're my girlfriend?"
mabshurah(fl)
What was the lie? I am your girlfriend, and I love you!" 😇
akash(ml)
I couldn't believe my ears. "Are you serious?"
Truth be told, I had fallen for her at first sight too.
mabshurah(fl)
Hey," Mabshurah said, "can't you skip work today? Let's go somewhere far away, just the two of us."
akash(ml)
"Mabshurah, I have to work. If I don't, I won't get dinner tonight
mabshurah(fl)
Wait, I’ll take care of your work." She pulled a small wand from her waist and flicked it. When I checked the shop, all my tasks were miraculously finished! My boss even said, "Everything's done, you can take the day off!"
akash(ml)
I was speechless. 😲
mabshurah(fl)
"Let's go now!" Mabshurah cheered.
We spent the whole day wandering and visiting different places. That evening, I headed home early. Mabshurah told me she would visit my house tonight and asked me to keep the window open.
Later that night, I was lying in bed. I didn't go to our usual spot because she was coming here. Suddenly, a voice whispered,
mabshurah(fl)
What is my baby doing?"
akash(ml)
Just lying here. You're here?"
mabshurah(fl)
Yes." Mabshurah revealed her form and immediately hugged me, resting her head on my chest.
She stayed with me all night and left around five in the morning. I fell back into a deep sleep. When I finally woke up at 10:00 AM, I panicked. I checked my phone—I was incredibly late for work! My stepmother was going to sacrifice me today for sure.
I freshened up quietly and tried to sneak out like a thief. Just as I reached the door, she appeared.
...
Where is my son going, sneaking around like a thief? It's so late, aren't you hungry? Come, dear, let me serve you some food."
akash(ml)
I almost had a heart attack. What was she saying? "My son"? Serving me food instead of hitting me with a broom? 😲 Usually, if I'm even a little bit late, she never stops nagging. Now, I woke up late, skipped work, and she was being... nice?
...
Why are you staring at me like that? Sit at the table, I'm bringing the food."
...
I sat down, completely baffled. My stepmother served me and even stroked my hair. "Oh, my son has become so thin. Here, have some more."
akash(ml)
I almost choked on my food. "Mother... are you okay? Are you feeling alright?"
akash(ml)
I don't know... you're acting very different today."
...
As soon as I finished breakfast, she handed me 5,000 Taka. "Go buy yourself some clothes with this." I was overjoyed and gave her a hug. "My crazy son," she whispered.
As I stepped outside, I saw Mabshurah waiting for me in a rickshaw. I climbed in
mabshurah(fl)
"Is your mother treating you well now?" she asked.
mabshurah(fl)
"She has to. After the 'dose' I gave her, even her ancestors would treat you well!"
akash(ml)
"So this was all your doing?" 😲
Days passed like this. We traveled, we shopped, and I eventually introduced her to my family. She and my stepmother became very close. Mabshurah spent most of her time at our house, sneaking in through the window at night. I quit my shop job and started looking for something better.
One day, I ran into Sajjad. We sat down to catch up.
...
"So, you never told me the full story about my sister-in-law (Mabshurah)?"
akash(ml)
"So, you never told me the full story about my sister-in-law (Mabshurah)?"
akash(ml)
"I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to react."
I told him everything—that she was a fairy. Sajjad looked like he had lost his mind.
I told him everything—that she was a fairy. Sajjad looked like he had lost his mind.
...
Akash, do you realize what you’re saying? She’s going to take you away from this world! You’ll never be able to come back to earth again!"
akash(ml)
"What are you talking about?
...
Yes! She’s going to take you with her to her realm!"
akash(ml)
Then what should I do?"
akash(ml)
"No, I can't! I love her too much. If I leave her, I’ll die."
...
Then consider yourself gone, brother."
akash(ml)
"Please, Sajjad, don't say that. Help me find a way so she can stay here on earth with me."
...
"I don't have a solution," Sajjad said, "but I know someone who deals with Jinns and Fairies. Maybe he can help."
akash(ml)
Sajjad called the man and hung up. "What did he say?" I asked.
...
"He said we need to meet him right now!"
We went to see him immediately. But after hearing what the man had to say, my mind went blank. How could I possibly do that to Mabshurah...?
