And we created you in pairs
-Quran 78:8

Author.

"Do you Ahaan Ahmed, son of Farooq Ahmed accept Ayesha Khan, daughter of Nazim Khan as your wife?"

It was asked. The question that would change their life, their destiny, everything.

But what made Ayesha shocked was the answer that she heard from Ahaan.

"I do"

"I do"

"I do"

He said and choosed his destiny. He gave her his name.

"Do you Ayesha Khan, daughter of Nazim Khan accept Ahaan Ahmed, son of Farooq Ahmed as your husband ?"

Now it was her turn. She was numb, void of any emotions. All she knew was this is wrong. She can't betray those who trusted her.

At that time the picture of her mother and father along with her brother came in front of her eyes. They were the people who loved her and gave her the freedom to do everything that she wanted to. She can't betray them.

The person sitting in front of her, who already gave her his name was looking at her for her answer. Now it was in her hand whether she wants to accept his name or not.

She looked around and saw Meera give her an encouraging smile.

'I am sorry mom and dad' She said in her mind and with a heavy heart and soul she uttered the word that changed her everything.

"I do"

"I do"

"I do"

And she accepted him as her other half. It was not a coincidence but their written fate. This was their destiny. They were "Bound To Each Other" even before they were born.

"Congratulations" Said Meera as the brides were escorted to their room after the nikah.

In reply Ayesha gave her a weak smile.

"When can we go ?" She asked still maintaining that little smile on her face.

"Soon, I guess after lunch" Meera said and went out.

Ayesha sighed and went to change her dress whereas the other brides were redoing their make up.

She got back into her normal dress and went out to search Ahaan. She spotted him near the entrance. He had already changed into his blue shirt and black pant.

"I think we should go" He said once she reached near him.

"Yeah" Ayesha said and they both went out after Ahaan took the marriage certificate from the Sarpanch.

He wanted to say many things but didn't had words. He did something he never thought of doing.

He didn't wanted to agree for this marriage but at the last moment his heart betrayed him by giving the answer he never wanted to give.

Ahaan checked if the goons were still there outside and thankfully none was there.

Unknowingly he held Ayesha's hand and they both moved out of there.

They both kept walking while being lost in their own thoughts, totally being unaware of their hold on each other's hands. They both were thinking how would they confess this to their families.

Ayesha's eyes filled up with tears which were of guilt. She betrayed her parents by doing this. The sarpanch's anger was not important to her but her parent's trust was and she betrayed them.

On the other hand, Ahaan was guilty as to what will he say to Rinoz, the girl he loves. He will never be able to forgive Ayesha for what happened today.

Subconsciously he tightened his hold on Ayesha's hand which made them aware of their situation. Both of them withdrew thier hand back.

Ayesha tilted her neck to look at him and shivered inwardly after looking at his red face.

'It would be better if I'd just keep my mouth shut' She thought to herself while tears of fear filled her eyes.

At this time she was full of fear and guilt.

As they got near the car, Ahaan got into it while she stood still shivering with the mear thought of all the things that happened.

It only triggered Ahaan's anger as he shouted at her causing her to flinch.

"Get in" His tone was something she was not used to.

No one had ever talked to her like this, not even her father or brother and here this man had the audacity to shout at her like this.

'I am not the only one at fault here. You could have denied marrying me' She wanted to shout at him but thought against it as she didn't wanted to trigger him more.

He started the car and sped it towards the villa. She sat there looking outside of the window. As a lone tear escaped the margin of her eye, she thought about the days she dreamt of her marriage.

She had always fancied marrying a person out of love but what happened was totally different.

"I am sorry Ahaan. I didn't-" Her words were stopped in middle as Ahaan showed his palm indicating her to stop.

"Save it Ayesha" He said and got out of the car the moment they reached the villa, leaving her alone.

She sighed and got down the car.

Ahaan walked in just to find his sister, brother-in-law and Affan being seated in the living room tensed.

"Where were you ?" Asked a panic Ahira.

"Just" He didn't answered properly and moved towards his room, making her more stressed.

"Where is Ayesha ?" She asked because she was the one because of whom Ayesha went outside in anger.

"I am here" Ayesha announced as she entered.

"Where were you this whole time? Do you have any idea how scared we were" Ahira chided.

"Nothing to worry about" Ayesha said as she pushed back her threatening tears which were ready to pour out any second.

She walked towards her room and sat down after closing the door behind her.

"What happened to them ?" Affan asked once they both were out of sight.

Ahira ignored his question as she thought that Ayesha was still disappointed with her way of talking from earlier.

She went and knocked at Ayesha's door. Ayesha immediately stood up and wiped her tears. Composing herself she opened the door and went near the window.

Ahira came and stood beside her.

"I am sorry" She apologized for her rude behaviour.

"It's ok Ahira" Ayesha said.

They were silent after that for a good ten minutes before Ahira sensed something fishy. But she let that go as she didn't wanted to stress her already stressed friend further.

She quietly stood there for another five minutes and then retreated to her room.

Once she was out of the room, Ayesha let her tears fall free.

She was regretting every bit of what happened. But little did she knew that one day this would be her one of the most memorable memories.
