Aarzoo's pov:

I don't know how everyone will react when they see Ruhaan but I have to stop them from asking him questions. I don't want his health to get affected.

we will land in airport in one hour. I slowly walked towards Shahyan and said,"Where will both of them stay?"

He said,"In Arham bhai's house"

I said,"Have you lost it? Zara is there."

He said,"Zara is at your house. Arham bhai is staying alone for now. After wedding I think Zara will go back so I think it will best if they go there and get ready for the wedding. Arham bhai is very excited to meet him so I think there is no trouble."

I said,"You talked with Arham. Wow I am proud of you. I was about to talk to you about this but you already talked to him."

He looked away from me and said,"Papa talked with him not me."

I said,"Shahyan why are you doing this? He is your brother. He loves you. It's very unfair that because of me you have not talked to him in years. It's his life and he has right to make his choice so please for me sort out your differences."

He said,"I will think about it."

I said,"Don't think too much. Today is very special day for you. You should be happy. You are starting new life."

He said,"For you as well. You are also starting new life with Ahaan."

I said,"Yeah..May Allah bless all of us with happiness."

We landed in Mumbai. We dropped Ruhaan and Adira at Arham's place then me and Shahyan left for our respective houses.

Ruhaan's pov:

When I looked at Arham. I don't know how to react? I love him as a brother but I hate him as well for marrying Zara. I can't explain my situation to them because I myself don't know what happened. don't have memory of that day. I remember in bits and when I try to recall I get severe headache and lose conscious but when I woke up I will not remember what happened that day? Why I left her? What happened to me? I have no idea.

As far as I remember I was getting ready for my wedding when someone knocked on my door and I opened it. That's it.

When I woke up I was in hospital bed. Adira was my nurse. I was not in India but California.

One month has been passed and I was not in consicious. I quickly came back home only to know that Zara and Arham are married. I don't want to face any of them because whatever questions they will ask I have no answers.

I came back to California and started looking for job but when I saw someone wearing black pollution mask walking on the road something flashed in my mind and I fell unconscious.

I met Adira again in the hospital and she helped me a lot get out of depression. I don't want to live anymore after I lost Zara and my family. I had no one but Adira helped me a lot. I wish I would know what happened that day?

Adira is not my wife. How can I marry someone else other than my Zara? I lied to them. She is my doctor and my room mate. Actually I stay at her house so my owner may be. Whatever I lied to them because I have no reason to tell them so I thought I would lie that I loved Adira that's why I ran away. I don't want Zara to feel guilty if she knows that I have not betrayed her. She is happy with Arham and I just want her happiness. Already I hurt her so much.

We reached Arham's house. When he saw me he hugged me. I felt so good. We were very close buddies.

He said,"How are you Ruhaan? " he looked at Adira and said,"Adira? Your wife,right?"

I said,"I am fine. Yes, she is my w-wife."

He said,"I will not ask you anything so relax. I am just happy that you are back. I placed clothes in guest room so you guys can get ready then we go for the wedding ,okay?"

I said,"Okay but Are you fine?"

He said,"yes what happened to me?"

I said,"Aarzoo is getting married today. You know, right? Have you got over her?"

He looked away from me and I can see his eyes get moist but he composed himself and said,"It's all in the past Ruhaan. I am married and happy with my life."

Yeah how can I forget?

He said,"Freshen up and take some rest. The nikaah is in the noon."

I said,"okay."

I freshen up and went to sleep on sofa and Adira slept on bed.

I woke up with the knock on the door. I opened the door to see Arham standing there. He said,"sorry to disturb but we have to leave in an hour so get ready."

I nodded and he left.

I woke Adira and then we both started getting ready. In an hour we both came down. Arham was ready and waiting for us in hall.

We are driving towards wedding hall. When I asked Arham,"by the way who is the groom?"

He said,"You don't know. Aarzoo didn't tell you?"

I shook my head in no.

He said,"It's Ahaan."

I was shocked and said,"Stop the car Arham"

He said,"Why? What happened?"

I said,"Aarzoo can't marry Ahaan. No way."

I started to panic. Adira immediately came to my rescue and gave me meditations.

I calmed down and said,"Arham we have to stop this marriage."

He said,"Why? what happened? Aarzoo loves him Ruhaan and they have a child together. I think it's right if Aarzoo marries Ahaan."

I was shocked and said,"What the hell are you talking? Aarzoo and Ahaan's child that's impossible."

Arham said,"But that's the truth. I know It's a shock for you but we can't deny him his fatherly rights."

I said,"Arham It's impossible. Ahaan can't have children. He has problem."

He looked shocked and said,"Then Yahya? Who is Yahya's father?"

I said,"That I don't know but we have to stop this marriage that I am sure."

He said,"Why? Why you dislike Ahaan?"

I said,"Arham do you trust me?"

He said,"yes"

I said,"then stop this marraige. Ahaan is not good for Aarzoo. Believe me and stop this marriage. "

He said,"But without knowing reason how can we stop the marriage? What we will tell to the elders and guests?"

I said,"Arham if you loved my sister even for a second and you want her to be happy then stop this marriage at any cost."

He nodded and we all reached the wedding hall. There was not much time left for the nikaah.

Arham said,"We are too late Ruhaan. Qazi is already here. I think they will perform nikaah in 30 mins. What can we do in such short time span?"

I said,"30mins is fine. I have an idea"

He said,"What is it?"

I said,"just wait here I will come."

I walked towards Shahyan's room. I told him everything and asked him to help. He agreed.

We both came out and took Arham with us. We made him wore sehra.

Arham said,"Why are you making me wear this? This is for bride groom."

I said,"You are marrying Aarzoo, Arham."

He stood up from his place,"You guys have gone mad. I am already married and have a child. I can't marry Aarzoo. How can I betray Zara?"

I said,"Arham you have to do this for Aarzoo. Get married to her then we can see what we can do but if she marries Ahaan her life is finished."

He said,"Why are you so against this marriage? I want to know the reason."

I think I have to tell him.

I said,"Arham Ahaan hate kids. He can't tolerate them. He has some problem and can never become father so he hates children as he can't have them. If he marries Aarzoo then I am afraid he will do something to Yahya."

Arham was shocked.

I said,"please marry Aarzoo if you want to save Yahya."

He said,"We can tell this to your parents and stop this marriage"

I said,"Who will believe me? No one. If we stop this marriage then Ahaan will try some other way to marry her but if she is already married then he can't do anything. I can't trust anyone else Arham. I trust only you. Please Arham."

He said,"but how can I?"

Oh god I am getting tired of this.

I shouted at him losing my temper,"either It's you or Shahyan. Now you decide whom should Aarzoo marry."

He said,"Have you lost it? Shahyan is younger than Aarzoo. She treats him like brother."

I said,"That's why I am asking. Do you want Yahya to leave this world or get abused in Ahaan's hands?"

He agreed finally. Now the challenge is how to swap the groom and make sure no one notices.

I locked Ahaan in room and took Arham to stage.

Shahyan talked to Qazi but he was reluctant so regretfully he switched Qazi as well with Qazi's son who is Shahyan's friend. He lied saying Qazi was feeling unwell so he left and his son will do the nikaah.

First they performed Shahyan's Nikah. Then they came to Arham.

He didn't use mike saying It's not working and he said slowly so that only Arham can listen "Do you accept Aarzoo Khan daughter of Maan Khan as your wife?"

He said,"I accept " three times.

Then we went to Aarzoo before anyone can come and we surrounded and Qazi's son said

'Do you accept Arham Siddiqui son of Sameer Siddiqui as your husband? ' so that only Aarzoo can listen

I was walking towards her to make her understand but she shocked me when she said,"I accept "three times.

Hope you are enjoying:)
