I think if you love someone, you shouldn't care about her/his appearance at all. Loving someone because of her physical attribute isn't love. It's either lust or crush.

The ramp is set, guests seated, appetizers and expensive drinks served. People are mingling and the whole hall of Olympia West is screaming glamour. The high music is being challenged by the crowds loud buzz and the whole atmosphere is electric. Sahir has managed to get all of the most influenced people on board tonight, from businessman to A-list celebrities has graced the evening with their presence.

Sahir has also made sure that their own families and friends are included in the VIP lists, as they are here to support them today which the couple is more than grateful for.

The professional models are backstage getting ready and so is a nervous Sia. For the moment she is practicing to walk in heels but it is already painful enough without them. "Sahir, I can't do this." Sia cries for the hundredth time in to the phone.

Sahir is busy mingling with people and keeping an eye at the venue so everything is flowing smoothly. "Sia, don't try to walk by yourself! As I have told you already, I'll be your support! Just have faith in me." He scolds her and Sia nods while biting her lower lip, not that Sahir can see. "Sia breathe." Sahir reminds her as he can sense her holding her breath.

Sia inhales and exhales a few deep breathes in an attempt to calm her nerves. "When are you coming?" She inquires while twirling a strand around her index finger.

"I'll be there in half an hour." Sahir informs her.

"Sahir, the show is due in one hour! I want you here by my side!" Sia makes clear with panic again.

Sahir smiles amused at his usually fierce wife. "Princess, I'll be there. I promise, I won't let you down." He assures her.

Those words makes the corner of her lips twist upwards and she feels better than before. "I am counting on you so don't you dare disappoint me, bye." She replies shortly and acts annoyed.

"I won't, bye Fiona." Sahir smiles before cutting the call and getting back to his guests.

Sia turns to her makeup artist Sam and smiles nervously. "Breathe Sia, your hair is already looking amazing! It is just your makeup and dress left. Then you're set to rock the stage with or without limbs." Sam winks and Sia chuckles.

Sia sighs while sitting down in front of the dressing table. Her hair has been styled into a sky high ponytail with a side braid. "Show me your magic." Sia smiles at her makeup artist and in return Sam smirks devilishly as his perfect tan makes him glow.

"Hey girl!" Tyra, a A-class model, walks up to them and smiles at Sia while Sam is half done with his work.

Sia looks up at Tyra through the mirror. "Hey Tyra, wow you're just stunning!" Sia compliments Tyra who is wearing a dress from Sahirs new brand.

Tyra swirls around in her flowing faded pink ombre dress, her slender shoulders and arms are being perfectly showed off in the strapless dress. "I am in love!" Tyra swoons and Sia chuckles while Sam continues doing her make up.

Tyra is the show starter and will be representing breast cancer and a young girl will walk beside her in a similar outfit but with a more fairytale twist. If people decide to auction and donate money on those specific dresses then the money will go to breast cancer foundations. Every pair of model will in this way be representing a disease and the raised money will go to either a foundation or directly to a hospital to give free treatments.

Sia doesn't even know what she'll be representing yet, Sahir has kept that as a suspense for some odd reason. She hasn't even seen or tried her dress and the show is due in half an hour. Half an hour!? Where is Sahir?!

Tyra's voice snaps Sia out of her thoughts. "Sia, I have been debating whether or not to tell you but a rumor has been circulating among the models which I think is best for you to know." Sia frowns seeing Tyra serious and hush.

"What's wrong? What kind of rumor?" Sia questions perplexed with a sudden hammering heart.

"Well, one of the models heard Sahir talking affectionately with some girl on his phone." Sias heart clenches in pain, he can't be cheating on her can he?

"What do you mean by affectionately?" Sia calmly asks trying to not draw any conclusions in a haste.

Tyra furrows her eyebrows as she tries to recollect all the information she got. "I am not sure but I heard that he called her something with princess." Sia raises a eyebrow, princess? "And said things like I won't let you down, I'll be there in half an hour and I guess her name was Fiona." Tyra halts nervously while Sia gives her a blank expression before bursting out in laughter.

Sia tries to compose herself as Sam scolds her, she is apparently ruining his hard work. "So you mean there's a rumor going around stating that Sahir is cheating on me with some Fiona?" Sia chuckles and Tyra stares at Sia as if she has grown a second head.

"Yes." Tyra says hesitantly and perplexed.

Sia and Sam shares knowing glances. "Well, that rumor is perfectly fine with me. I like the name Fiona and hopefully Sahir is enjoying his time with her." Sia smirks and winks at a totally baffled Tyra.

Just then Sahir enters in a black formal dress with dark blue details from his own collection. The fine details on the suit are marvelous, giving an elegant and classic touch. Sia eyes him from top to toe through the mirror and smirks seeing her husband so handsome. "Wow, where did the sun rise from? Shrek has indeed turned into a charming prince." Sia winks and Sahir raises an eyebrow.

He walks up to her with amusement in his eyes. "Well, I have to try to match up to Fiona's beauty and charm. I don't want her to leave me for another prince or so." Sahir smiles with his glowing eyes not leaving Sias for even a second.

Sia seem to be enchanted by him as she keep staring into his dark eyes. "Why would I ever leave my diamond for a mere stone?" She manages to verbalize and her words indeed surprises Sahir, a sudden warmth fills his soul.

Both of them seems to be lost in each other's smiling eyes. "Wait, wait. Your name is Fiona?" Tyra interrupts the love birds romance with her hands in the air and both of them snaps their head towards her.

Sahirs forehead creases and he gives Tyra a blank expression while Sia shakes her head amused. "No, he calls me Fiona as I nicknamed him Shrek. Long story." Sia smiles and Tyra's mouth forms an 'o' in realization, she seems embarrassed.

Sahir glances at the time and suddenly feels the time pressure. "Anyway girls, the ramp walk will start shortly!" He tells them and quickly adds. "Tyra go and do a final retouch. Also please be a darling and inform the rest of the models to be ready." Tyra nods with a smile and walks away.

Sam does his final touch on Sia. "Marvelous!" Sam exclaims. "Sahir, what is your opinion on my masterpiece?" He inquires with proudness beaming in his eyes.

Sahir smiles taking a long look at Sia. "Simply beautiful. Born to be a Queen, my Queen." Sahir states with admiration in his eyes and extends his hand towards Sia. "Come with me." A crimson Sia gently puts her hand on his.

Sahir helps her walk to a room in the backstage and opens the door for her. Sia gasps seeing a beautiful outfit in the middle of the room. "Wow!" She smiles seeing the two piece black and blue dress which matches Sahirs suit.

The upper part is a high neck and long sleeve crop top made of lace. The lower part is a long dark blue satin skirt. Simple but very elegant with small details that camouflages into the dress material.

"You like it?" Sahir questions nervously and Sia nods dreamy. "Great, I have designed it from the scratch and been there during the whole creation, just for my showstopper." Sias gleaming eyes darts up to Sahirs surprised.

She puts a hand on her chest. "For me?" She inquires hesitantly and Sahir nods.

"Just for you." He replies satisfied.

Sia pulls him to her and wraps her arms around him. Sahir instantly encircles his arms around her too. "Thank you." She murmurs making him feel giddy while she plants a kiss on his cheek.

Sahir smiles seeing Sia happy, he tightens his grip around her slightly. He doesn't know when or if he will be able to hug her again in this way after the show, the mere thought pains him but he knows that the decision he has taken is the right one. He caged her and forcefully cut her wings so it is fair enough that he sets her free.

Sahir pulls back with a genuine smile. "I'll help you change, we only have twenty minutes to get you ready." He enlightens her.

Sia nods and Sahir closes the door behind him. As usual Sias heart picks up its pace as Sahir steps closer to her while her breathing gets shallow. Sahirs heart pumps warm blood violently as if he has been jogging. Sahir pulls down the golden zip at Sias back to her waist. He shifts to her front and closes his eyes while gently pulling the maroon blouse of Sia with her help. He then shifts to her back with his eyes still closed and unhooks her underwear. A shiver runs down Sias spine as Sahirs cold fingers brushes her skin. Sia gulps and Sahir turns around. He takes the crop top in his hand from the mannequin and closes his eyes again before turning to Sia. He helps her get it on and then walks back to get the skirt. When she is fully dressed and ready Sahir eyes her from top to toe. Sia is surprised at how the dress can fit her so perfectly, or more like how Sahir knows her size so well. "You always manage to make me speechless, you're just simply gorgeous." Sahir compliments her genuinely with crossed arms and Sia blushes.

"Thank you darling, you're not bad yourself." She winks and they chuckle. "Shall we?" Sia inquires indicating that they should be walking to the ramp now.

Sahir shakes his head with an amused smile. "Just a second, one thing is missing." He says and opens a drawer beneath a desk close to the mannequin.

Sahir comes forward with a jewelry box and Sia feels guilty over the fact that Sahir has been spoiling her. He walks to stand behind her and puts a cold heavy dark blue stone studded necklace on her neck. More than the necklace tickles it is Sahirs fingers that burns her skin. She looks at the magnificent piece of jewelry on her neck and feels overwhelmed. "Sahir, you shouldn't have." Sia whispers.

"Don't you like it?" Sahir inquires with a blank expression.

Sia nods. "I do but." She manages to say before Sahir continues from there.

"No buts, I have the right to shower my wife with gifts. It makes me happy." He replies and Sia genuinely smiles in awe. "However, for your information this is for the showstopper who coincidently happens to be my wife." He winks playfully and Sia shakes her head with a warm smile.

Sahir adorns a matching bracelet around her wrist which Sia stares at with glee. "Thank you." She whispers and he gently plants a kiss on her forehead, he wish he could halt the time for pure selfish reasons. "What do we represent?" Sia inquires curiously.

"We represent the last stage of every disease. When all hope dies and only darkness is seen. However, there's always something beautiful with darkness too. It is when we lose all hope and break down when we let others in. The bond between loved ones gets stronger. Sometimes, even though it might sound harsh, death can release one from immense pain." Sahir explains and Sia nods understanding the depth in his words.

They slowly walk towards the stage with their arms linked. Sia supports herself on Sahir and is scared to make a fool out of herself, what if his show turns into a disaster due to her? "Sahir, are you sure about this? We still have time to swap me with some model." Sia puts light on.

Sahir shake his head. "Sia, you're my showstopper and that's it. You're not even limping anymore." He tells her the obvious.

Before Sia can protest a mans voice booms from the loudspeakers. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to today's event hosted by Mr. Sahir Khan and his company. We hope you have been enjoying the evening so far and are looking forward to see the new collection of the new brand of theirs that will shortly be launched. We also hope you're eager to raise awareness of certain diseases that needs more attention and are willing to help with the fund raising today. Whatever information you need has been handed to you along with the goodie bags placed on each seat. Now that we all have been waiting for, let us introduce you to the new and very elegant designs of the brand new brand, Sia." He introduces and starts the show.

Sias eyes widen and darts up to Sahir. "I thought the brands name was Victory?" She shares baffled.

Sahir smiles smugly. "Well, Sia means victory." He grins.

Sia looks at him speechless. "I don't know what to say. You named your new brand after me?" She questions not being able to believe it.

"What can I say, you're my lucky charm and my muse." Sahir gifts her a piece of his mind.

Sia feel numb with tears welling up. "You're too good to be true." She manages to say and it's a miracle that her tears hasn't spilled over.

I love you, is what Sia in real wants to utter but she doesn't want to scare Sahir away.

The show flows on with perfection and the models are looking drop dead gorgeous. It is only the show starter and the show stopper that are wearing evening dresses while the rest of the models are sporting everyday to professional outfits, which are to die for.

Sia gets nervous seeing the confidently walking models, even the children are walking like professionals. When the last male model walks back Sia gets extremely nervous but she tries to keep herself calm for Sahirs sake. Sia would have loved this any other time but due to her injuries that hasn't completely healed yet she is worried.

Suddenly Sia and Sahir are out on the ramp with a background music beating in sync with Sias heart. Sia looks at Sahir dazed while her left arm is around his neck as the other is resting on her stomach. She isn't having a hard time walking as she matter of fact isn't. Sahir is carrying her in his arms and Sia has no idea how she ended up there. She feels like a love struck teenage girl not being able to tear away her gaze from her husband who is carrying her as if she is a fragile newly wedded bride.

Sahir has his gaze fixed in front of him and is walking down the ramp with ease. The crowd starts to cheer and whistle loudly which doesn't seem to reach Sia at all. He halts on the edge of the ramp and turns his gaze to meet Sias beautiful eyes filled with warmth. He genuinely smiles seeing the beauty in front of him and leans in to kiss her on the forehead. More whistles and awes erupts in the room. Sia closes her eyes and savior the moment while a tear escapes her eye, how she wishes she could stop the time and always be in his loving arms.

Sahir turns around and walks back with his wife while locking his gaze with hers. The guests starts to applaud so loud that it wouldn't be a surprise if the roof also jumped in excitement. Sahir gently puts down Sia on a chair backstage and Sia just stares at Sahir with admiration. She has never felt so attached to someone as she has with Sahir. She simply loves him. Not because of the expensive gifts but due to the way he takes care of her and makes her feel safe. How he always keeps surprising her and how she feels loved around him even though he might never express those words.

The event comes to an end and is declared as a success. They have managed to cross the target they had for their fund raising with a huge margin. Every single media has covered the event and has made it the talk of the town. It has also spread international like a wildfire. The breaking news on the celebrity and gossip columns are talking about the new brand called Sia or more about the very romantic couple. Sahir seem satisfied as he has accomplished his goals and Sia is more than elated for him.

When finally heading home after a tiresome day, Sia is surprised to see the car halt in front of the banquette hall where Sanaya and Arnav got married. "Sahir, what's happening?" Sia inquires with furrowed eyebrows.

Sahir seem lost in deep thoughts. "I just need to talk to you." He says after a moment, his eyes seem dull.

"We can talk at home too?" Sia inquires softy and runs a hand down his hair.

Sahir grabs her wrist. "No." He says which surprises Sia and she actually fears what he has in mind.

"Ok." She tries to sound steady. "So tell me." She encourages him with her heart drumming in anticipation.

"Not like this." Sahir tells her with a distant gaze and Sias forehead creases.

Sahir walks out of the car and Sia mimics him perplexed. He grabs her hand and puts it around his neck. He then places his arm around her back while he places his other arm under her knees to carry her for the second time today. They are still wearing their heavy outfits from the show.

He walks in to the banquette hall and up the stairs. He turns left upstairs and kicks open the door to his right which he has booked from before. Sias eyes widen at his sudden odd behavior. The room is elegantly decorated with some candles and fresh roses, nothing over the top. He puts her down once inside. "Can you tell me now what's going on? Is everything alright?" Sia inquires, worry laced in her voice.

Sahir bores his dark intense eyes into hers and he seems to be in some sort of dilemma or perhaps pain. "Do you recognize the place?" He inquires with a bit of hope and Sia smiles.

"Of course I do. It was in this exact room where I met you for the first time." Sias eyes twinkle as she reminisces the first encounter of them, a not so pleasant one to say the least.

Sahir gives a small smile. "Exactly." He takes Sias hand in his and kisses them before boring his eyes into hers.

"Sahir, what's going on? You're worrying me." Sia tries to search answers in his eyes.

Sahir watches Sia intently in an attempt to imprint her every feature in his mind. The silence makes Sias heart beat painful, not knowing what to expect. His next words throws her off guard. "I love you Sia." Sahirs sincere words echoes in the room. "I truly do." His voice comes out as a mere whisper while Sias heart clenches.

"Every single thing about you drives me crazy. I foremost love the way you consciously or subconsciously care for me, the way you make me smile and make me feel wanted. I love your beautiful eyes, the way how your lips feels against my skin, your adorable dimples, your jasmine fragrance, the way you pout when you're angry, the way you throw tantrums when wanting something, the way you put others before yourself and I just love you. I don't even know what to say." Sahir pours his feelings out in the open which makes Sias eyes well up.

He takes a small pause to inhale a sharp breath. "I just know that my happiness lies in your happiness and that I would go to any extent just to witness a smile of yours. You have become the reason for my existence, even the thought of being away from you for a mere second suffocates me. I feel restless without you and can't even fall asleep without you in my arms. You affect me in the deepest way possible and the way no other has ever been able to do." Sahir trails of as his own vision gets blurry while he can feel a painful lump forming in his throat.

"I just want to see you happy and with me, forever. I don't think I can or want to live without you. I am scared Sia, of all of the raw feelings I have for you. If this isn't love then I don't know what love is." He adds softly and Sia tries her best to hold back her tears while Sahir closes his eyes to prepare himself for his next words.

"With that said." He opens his eyes to bore them into Sias. "I also want to let you know that I am letting you go."

Sia stares at him blankly not comprehending his words while tears rolls down Sahirs cheeks without permission.

"I was the reason for cutting your wings and I want to mend for my mistake. Our journey literally began from this place and that's why I brought you here, to start afresh. I want to apologize for my past foul behavior. I regret my actions every day but I don't regret meeting or marrying you. From this moment you're free to live your life the way you please and I'll always be here for you. If you need me or any kind of help, I am here ready to be at your service." Sahir finishes with a painfully raspy voice while his eyes are blood shot.

At first Sia just stands there to let his words sink in to her system. His words swirls around and keeps repeating in her mind. Sia grimaces upon understanding what he just proposed.

Slowly she raises her fisted hands agonized and hits him on the chest as if they're hammers with held back tears streaming down her cheeks.

Sia looks at him hurt and speaks her mind shakily. "How can you claim that you love me and that you can't live without me but then you easily dump me? Who even gave you the right to decide what I want?" She fists his shirt in her hands while heart aching sobs leaves her lips and Sahir looks away not being able to meet her gaze.

"Remember that I promised to never leave you? Well, I won't! I love you too Sahir." Sia confesses and wraps her arms around Sahirs neck, Sahir responds by immediately holding her close to him, afraid to lose her.

"You're my soulmate and the love of my life, how can you have missed to notice my devotion to you? You might be able to live without me but I can't even imagine a life without you. If anything you have nursed my wings, you have made me fly to heights that I never thought was possible and you handed me power. I am not allowing you to ever leave me. I am sorry but you're stuck with me till death do us apart. Sahir I feel secure with you and I feel safe in your arms, your presence gives me peace. You fill me and my heart with warmth. I do love you beyond my own understanding, please don't leave me. I really need you." Sia puts her heart out for him with a shaky voice.

Sahir tightens his grip around her so no space can pass between them. "I am sorry my love, I promise to always stand by your side Sia. I promise to always honor and love you. You're everything that I need and more." Sahir buries himself in the crook of her neck and Sia closes her eyes.

"I love you." She whispers and Sahir pulls away slightly to bore his eyes into hers.

He wipes away her tears and smirks. "I think it is high time for our honeymoon, don't you think?" Sahir chuckles and this time Sia buries herself in the crook of his neck embarrassed. "Gosh, I love you so much." Sahir verbalizes to a crimson Sia while he inhales the lovely fragrance of jasmine of hers as he affectionately strokes her hair.
