"Usko sach mein sab yaad hai?" Zoriaz for like 10th time asked his daughter who was sitting with amna and maham in sofa of Mr Ahmed's house. Shehnaaz nodded her head "Where is he?" He questioned tabbing his feet against floor, with hands on his waist. Everyone can tell he's freaking inside because he knows it's gonna be something bad if Sidharth hasn't confronted them yet

"Mujhe nahi pata" Shehnaaz answered honestly

Zain fight urge to smirk seeing his father all worked up. He turned around to take sip from coffee in his hands, which has mix of vodka. He winked at maham who sighed at him

"Mene tumhe kaha zoriaz" Mr Ahmed glared at his younger brother

"Mujhe laga there are like no chances for him to regain also mene jo kiya apni beti ke liye kiya mujhe farq nahi parta and I fear no young man!" He said

"Sure" Zain murmured

"It's not him but his ways" Mr Ahmed reminds him. Zoriaz open his mouth to say something but shut it back

"Yeh toh achi baat haina ke uski sab yaad agaya?" Mrs zoriaz questioned looking at them. Mrs Ahmed sighed covering her face with hand, she knows her son more than anyone here so she has idea of how far he will go if his beloved lover is involved. She wasn't in favour of this decision since start but non listen to him

"Ami bhai ko nahi janti ap I'm sure he's going gaga over you guys lying to him" Amna looked at her mother with raised eye-brow. She will gladly take half of credit in return of his memory

"Mene toh kaha tha." Zain shrugged, his father clenched his jaw while glaring at him. Sana tensed up because she sensed tension between them one which always end up bad

"You getting angry? Need someone to vent your anger out on? Will your this son work?" Zain smiled at his father tilting his head offering him to slap. Zoriaz just glared at him

"Zain." Mr Ahmed hold arm of his nephew to pull him back. Maham takes breath she was holding and stands up from couch to stand closer him

"I'm trying to be good son" He spoke out in chilled tone. He looked down at maham's grip on his shirt to keep him at his place, he couldn't help but smile looking down

There attention was gained by Sidharth who made way inside house with his normal poker face. Just like them he was still in wedding's clothes white shalwar kameez. He didn't paid much attention to everyone who were waiting for him and instead he made his way towards stairs

"Sidharth." His father called. He stoped and turned around, his expressions not changing a bit "Tumhari memory wapis agayi hai tumne hume bataya bhi nahi hai" His father asked

"Tomorrow I'm tired now" He said

"Yeh serious hai." Zoriaz sternly came forward to look at him

"Is that so? Because the way you all played it out was like some soap opera not so Damn serious" His jaw clenched "I might add you all so fucking good audition kab derahe ho ap muma?" He looked at his mother. She didn't know what to say

"Beta please just hear us out-"

"Beta? Am I your son?" He cut off his father "Parents don't do what you both did over some little pressure from someone" He stated

"I asked bhai-sahab and bhabhi for this meri galti hai sab mein" Zoriaz said

"Apki toh galti hai he no doubt and you will regret this decision" He promised stepping down stairs looking at elder man in eyes "Shehnaaz srif ek larki nahi hai mere liye she's reason I want to keep breathing" He tells him. Shehnaaz's cheeks turn red and butterflies erupt in her tummy at words coming out of his mouth

"I wasn't thinking straight us waqt she was crying and crying mujhe kuch smjh nahi araha tha for God's sake sidharth it's not easy to see your daughter in such a mess! I did what I thought was right" He said throwing hand in air

"See I don't wanna hear I did what I did and all that bullshit apne pass rakhen yeh excuses" Sidharth said out of annoyance

"Sidharth we are sorr-"

"Muma I don't wanna hear it." He cut her off coldly. Shehnaaz felt bad for Mrs Ahmed, he never speaks to his mother in this cold tone

"Sidharth Shehnaaz ko bhool gaya hai so let's engage him to someone else while she's crying mess over there" He scoffed "And how dare you all ask her to move on from me! From me I would have end peace in your life and made it hell if she actually would have moved on from me" His voice held threatening tone. Shehnaaz knew she never would moved on from him

"Baat khatam krdo ab Sidharth it's such a big news that tumhe sab yaad hai we are so happy" Mrs zoraiz said

"Are you sure that you are happy?" He raised his eyebrow. He doesn't care if he's acting like asshole they all deserve it

"Don't be disrespectful." Zoriaz glared at him. He chuckled slightly

"Yeh disrespect hai,Want me to show you what actual disrespect is?" He asked glaring back at his uncle while getting closer him. Shehnaaz's hand grew sweaty because of anxiety and nervousness she was feeling

"Bhai." Aryaan came in between and pushed his brother away gently

"I can't believe you all looked straight into my eyes all these months and lied and lied" He chuckled in disbelief pulling chair to sit down "So freaking stupid of you all and I'm so damn pissed" His eyes turn shade darker with each second as he kept leg over another and looked at them

"Just end it Sidharth tumhara aur Shehnaaz ka nikkah hum next week he karwa denge theek hai" Zoriaz said keeping hands on his waist

"Nikkah toh humara hoga he but it doesn't mean I'll forgive you. Don't use her in this" He warned looking zoriaz dead in eyes

"You will get my resignation from company in morning and just to let you all know I'm no longer part of this pasha family" He declared smiling at them. There were gasp , few shock faces while Aryaan and Zain weren't shock since they already knew about his decision as just yesterday armaan's father who's minister offered him special seat in his party

"What do you mean?" Mr Ahmed asked

"Jo apne suna I'm moving out mujhe na he apka yeh naam chahiye na kuch aur and you will see how much of heartless I can be and wish you wouldn't have betrayed your own son's trust when he had no one but his family" His eyes held eye-contact with his father

"Sidharth you can't do this!" Mrs Ahmed looked at him

"Not telling me about Sana was okay since you cared about her feelings but engaging me to someone else and lying about it to me for months is what you shouldn't have done. You should have fight for your son instead of agreeing for this bullshit" He stood up with cold expressions but his eyes held lots of emotions as he was looking at his mother

"You can't survive without this surname" Mr zoriaz challenged

"Talk about yourself because I can survive with and without anything" Sidharth responded

It was big decision which will impact all of their lives but they all it was no use even begging because he's one who said one thing then that's it nothing will change but this came biggest heartbreak for his parents and siblings even zoriaz. They do realise their mistake and now do regret, especially his parents for not fighting

"Tumne yeh baat hume batayi kyun nahi?" Mr Ahmed asked

"Mene batana zarori nahi smjha." He met his unbothered eyes with his father who was already hurt by his behaviour

"Mr khan ko kya kahege hu-"

"You should be grateful ke mene yeh wala apka sar dard handle kiya hai he won't say anything nor will his daughter so don't use this as any excuse" He cut off zoriaz harshly

His uncle glared at him, Zain wants to laugh at face of his father. He turn around little to cover his mouth with mug of coffee trying best to not make any sound. Zoriaz let out frustration gasp while keeping hands on his waist

"Tumne toh abhi tak meri beti ka hath manga he nahi hai what makes you think after all this I will let her marry you?" Zoriaz asked, shehnaaz mentally groan because asking this was some kind of stupidly. They all know he's gonna marry her anyhow if anyone agrees or not

"Kya mein Nikkah kar sakta hoon?" There was sarcasm dripping in his tone as he tilted his head to look at zoriaz while folding arms against his chest

"No" Zoriaz answered. Sidharth didn't say anything just smirked

"Mujhe actually mein neend arahi hai so I'll take my leave" He made his way back towards stairs but stoped before where Shehnaaz was sitting and leaned down bit to kiss on her forehead "Good night meri jaan." He whispered in her ear and directly climb upstairs. Her cheeks turned red in embarrassment at everyone eyes on her and wants to just burry herself

"Mene kaha tha agar use pata chala he will never speak to us. Dekho he did that and has actually cut ties with us" Mr Ahmed sighed sitting in couch holding his head

"Wo hamesha toh naraz nahi rahega na bhai-sahab" Zoriaz set beside his elder brother and looked at him with concern in his eyes

"You have no idea zoriaz." Mrs Ahmed murmured with teary eyes. Maham knows here that her brother is only upset with elders so she wasn't much fazed as she did try to help him time to time in remembering Shehnaaz

"Ek cup black coffee lekr ana half filled" Zain asked giving empty cup of house's staff. Everyone looked at him in disbelief, he also looked back at them "What? Coffee pena mana hai just because you guys screwed up?" He raised eyebrow. Zoriaz shake his head

Sidharth joining political party of armaan's father news came to family from television. It was such a big deal for public, since he was already famous enough and pasha family's eldest son joining political party send chaos in country and him also announcing he's no longer heir of pasha family made them shock. This has effected stock prices of their company more than before

Him leaving has caused many problems in family and they were done answering people. He knows what he has caused and he was loving every bit of it because he knows his father doesn't care about company as much as zoriaz does. He can go crazy if even one file goes missing, here he was losing his investors

There were many positive comments online about him most of them being about his looks, while some were negative about his past as bully. He doesn't care about that anymore and he has joined this profession manly because their family hates politics and politicians, armaan's father has been asking him since long to join as he loves the way Sidharth thinks and deal with people. He said he need more young people with mind like his

"Ek baat meri baat to sune ap!" Zoriaz spoke politely with phone against his ear. Amna kept her literature book down to give Zain and Sana a look with smirk following

"Ek aur investor gaya." Zain smirked popping legs on wooden table closing back his eyes. Pulling his hood over to protect himself from sunlight that was falling on his face

"This is not something to be happy about" Sana eyed them while writing down in her notes. She has again joined RU, she doesn't wanna go back as Sidharth's memory is back

"Umm who's actually reason of it?" Amna questioned rising his eyebrow

"Mene thori na kiya hai yeh sab!" She whisper yelled keeping her pen down to look at her in disbelief

"They have brought this upon themselves" Zain spoke with eyes still closed

"Whatever" Amna rolled her eyes

She looked over Shehnaaz's shoulder to see Aryaan coming in their backyard with maham following him. She let out groan at aryaan's arrival, Zain heard her and lift himself immediately to follow her gaze and smiled at maham who waved at him and slid beside him on couch. He has noticed this that she groan seeing Aryaan

"Kesi ho?" He wrapped arm around her shoulder and she also leaned into his shoulder. Aryaan purposely set down beside amna who gave him dirty glare in return he smiled

"I see tum literature parh rahi ho wasn't it boring for you?" He questioned looking at her book. She closed her book and kept it aside

"Mind your own business." She rudely said

"That's my sister!" Zain gives her thumbs up before smirking at Aryaan who didn't give any reaction just sinked into couch to stare at amna

"Sidharth bhai se milne chale?" Maham asked pouting at them and nudge Sana teasingly who didn't say anything just blushed and continued doing her work

"Wo busy hai" Zain told her

"Hum api ko lekr chalte hai he won't say anything if she will be there" Amna said, Shehnaaz lifted her head to see now everyone looking at her

"Mujhe nahi jana ap log jao" She murmured. He has been really busy that he only calls two mins before sleeping also he takes more than 4 hours to reply simple text and currently they were on fight as topic of her not trying and him hiding came back last night and they end up fighting where she told him to not call her and hang up call right away, so she's not going there

"Oh come on nazo don't you miss him?" Zain smirked

"Nahi." She answered ignoring them

"Itna jhoot mene apni puri zindagi mein nahi suna" He scoffed

"And apse zyda bakwas shakal wala mene aj tak nahi dekha" Aryaan smirked commenting as he got his chance to get back at him

"Larkiya die to have my glimpse bro what are you talking about huh!" Zain scoffed. Maham looked at him with glare which he ignored knowing if he looked she will kill him with eyes only

"Larkiya die after getting your glimpse kyun ke unko realise hota hai kitni bakwas shakal hai apki!" Aryaan corrected him

"Larkiya itni farigh nahi ke die hoti rahen itni si baaton per" Amna groaned "So who's gonna convince api?" She asked

"I'm not co-"

"We all know you want to just chalo already please please!" Maham showed her puppy eyes. She think for while before taking deep breath and keeping her pen down

"Theek hai." She agreed

"Shehnaaz." Her father called who was standing by flowers little far from them with phone in his hands "Are you done bacha jau mein mujhe ek important kaam hai" He asked about her studies as he was helping her

"I'm done baba and we are going out" She told him making others wince. He noticed

"Where?" He questioned

"Umm..hum ese he bahar kisi cafe wagera jarhe" She lied as she didn't expect him to ask because normally he doesn't

"Okay okay have fun kids." He looked at them all before exciting garden. She feels really bad for her father nowadays he's always stressed and mentally exhausted

"We are going out baba" Zain mimic her with eye roll standing up. She throw her pen at him which landed on her forehead and he let out cry. Aryaan burst into laughter along maham and amna

"Bach ke dekhao tum nazo chudail!" He rubbed his forehead. She screamed and run inside before he could even follow her

"I'm recording and sending it to bhai!" Aryaan threatened while taking out his phone

"Fuck you." Zain showed him middle finger and grumpily throw himself on couch again "Jeeja hoon mein tumhara saale" He smirked. Maham pushed his hand with annoyance that was trying to reach out for hers

"Same goes for you" Aryaan murmured

"What the fuck?" Zain frown

"Kuch nahi" Aryaan rolled his eyes. Zain looked at him suspiciously than at amna who was giving Aryaan side glares
