Ayesha's pov

"They saw us" I shouted.

Ahaan held my hand tightly and we started running for our dear life because they were chasing us like we were the robbers here and not them !!!

We ran and ran until we entered a small village kind area. It seemed like a place of tribal people but not exactly the tribals. We sat near a tree to catch some breath after running so much.

"Hey" We heard a voice and turned towards the source.

"Catch them "

"Ya Allah !!! Are we the robbers here?" I asked.

"Who the hell told you to come out of the house when you knew nothing about this place" Ahaan yelled at me.

After that I kept quiet and we ran again until we saw a hall.

We both ran in towards it as there was a large crowd there thinking the goons won't be able to find us there.

"Assalamu alaikum" We a heard a soulful voice.

"Wa alaikum salam" I and Ahaan replied together.

There was a girl standing in front of us, clad in a brown anarkali with a dupatta covering her head. She was looking beautiful with her minimal make up and beautiful smile.

"I'm Meera " She said.

"I am Ahaan and she is Ayesha" Ahaan introduced us.

"Hey" I said waving my hand.

"It's so nice to meet you both but you see before marriage you aren't allowed to be together, so Ayesha come with me and Ahaan bhai, you go with Aamir" She said and we both looked at each other confused.

That's when I noticed my surrounding. It was a hall which was decorated as if it was a wedding venue while everyone was dressed in heavy dresses as if they were to attend some wedding.

"Assalamu alaikum I am Aamir" A guy in his late twenties introduced himself .

"Wa alaikum salam, I guess you misunderstood us- "

"Oh so you both are already married?" Before Ahaan can complete his sentence, Meera interrupted.

"No no" I took part in the conversation.

"Then what are you waiting for? You guys should hurry otherwise sarpanch would get angry" She said and dragged me towards a room while that boy dragged Ahaan towards another not even giving us a chance to speak.

"Here wear this" Meera said handing me a heavy lehenga.

"But why?" I asked confused.

"It's your wedding" She said casually and went out.

I looked around and there were many girls sitting in red lehengas.

"What is your name?" I turned and saw a girl probably of my age in heavy red lehenga with her make up beautifully done, actually she was looking like a fairy.

"Ayesha" I said and smiled.

"I am Heena" She said.

"Nice meeting you Heena" I said awkwardly because I was feeling damn uncomfortable with my surrounding.

"Changing room is over there" She said pointing towards a small room.

"Thank you" I said and tried to smile but failed miserably.

I went inside that small room. Closing the door I sat down while holding my head.

"Where the hell am I stuck? I can't even call anyone" I was murmuring within me.

"Ayesha you alright or you need any help?" I heard Heena's voice.

"No, I am alright" I said and changed into that lehenga as there was no other option left because these people were not ready to even hear me.

After I changed into that lehenga, Meera told a beautician to do my make up. I was shit scared as to what's gonna happen next. What the hell will I tell to my parents that 'Hey mom dad. I am married and my husband is none other than Ahaan bhai!'

'Ya Allah this is so unfair. Why are you doing this to me? How will I face ahira? What will she think of me? And what about my brother! He will kill me' I cried inside.

Soon my makeup was done and I looked at myself in the mirror. The day for which my mom was dreaming is here. I'm ready as someone's bride but my family is not here. No I don't want this. I can't do this. I can't break my parent's trust. I can't break my brother's trust.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Wow look at you" Meera said entering the room.

Everyone was busy in their own world. Every bride here were happy because they were getting married to the person they love except me. This Meera was not even letting me meet Ahaan. How will we get out of this situation.

"One hour and you all will be married" Meera announced happily and all the brides started blushing while I was trembling.

One hour and my life will take a total u-turn. And I seriously don't want this. I have my dreams and moreover Ahaan loves Rinoz. I can't do this to her. She is a good girl and I know their feelings are mutual.

Idea !!!

I'll refuse to marry when the Qazi sahab will ask me and I am sure Ahaan will also do the same.

"What the hell" I heard a man's roaring sound from outside.

"What happened?" Heena asked Meera.

"A girl refused to marry at the last moment. Sarpanch is very hot minded when it comes to his reputation because he is doing this as a social work and if you'll make fun of him, it's obvious that he will get angry" Meera said and now the last hope which I had of refusing also went in vain.

'Who the hell told that sarpanch to do this social work!' I cursed that sarpanch in my mind.

ALLAH !!!

I can't even shout now !!!

I just sat there pondering over my fate.

"Call the brides" I heard someone say and my hands started sweating while I started fidgeting my fingers.

"Come" Meera held my hand and took me out with other brides.

'Ya Allah save me!' I prayed and looked ahead to get my breath stuck in middle as I saw Ahaan coming in a white colour sherwani. The frown plastered on his face clearly showed how much irritated and pissed he was.

Of course he would be !!!

We all sat on the sofas placed there with our so called respective partner.

"Do something Ayesha" He whispered.

"What can I do? I left my mobile at home so you please call Affan and inform him" I said and looked down.

"Battery is dead so my mobile is off" He said with his jaw clenched.

"Here write your dad's and your name" A boy handed a register to Ahaan. He scribbled his name and gave it to me to do the same.

After sitting there for about 45 minutes, the Qazi came towards us and I prepared myself to refuse.

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