Zara's pov:

Shahyan and Asmara are getting married I can't believe it. They are too young just 19 years old. I was also 20 years old when I got married.

Two years..It's been years since I got married. I lost my best friend two years back, My Cousin, My sister, My best friend Aarzoo. She is coming back after 2 years I can't believe it. I missed her so much. We use to be close buddies and now we are not even in touch. I don't know how she is? What's going on in her life?

I miss our old days when there were no secrets between us. I don't remember from when we got so close. We had only one year difference so we got along with each other.

She was like my protector. Ruhaan is silent type so she is quite opposite to him. She is so blunt and outspoken girl but only one person can leave her speechless..Arham. She had huge crush on him. She always use to speak about him.

I never had any crush on anyone but when I was 12 years old Ammi's health was not well so she wanted me and Ruhaan to get engaged. It was weird as we use to stay at same house. I never thought of him in that way.

Ruhaan was not happy with it but he can never say no to bade papa so he agreed. Jiya ma also tried to make him understand so reluctantly he got engaged to me. Anyone can see that he was not happy with this arrangement.

Papa was also had same opinion like him. He didn't want his princess to get engaged so early but he loved Ammi so much that he had no choice but go along with her wish. I am also not happy but I was not sad as well. I felt nothing at that time except for the happiness I saw in my Ammi's eyes.

I was happy for her. I don't know what happened but I started seeing Ruhaan in different way after our engagement. I started to have feelings for him. Seeing my future with him. I accepted him as my to be husband. I tried to groom my self as he want his wife to be. I started to focus on his likes more than mine. He became centre focus of my life.

After two year to our engagement Ammi's health got better and everyone was happy that Ammi going to be with us for long time.

Ruhaan had never treated me like his fiancee. He was very rude to me whenever I tried to talk to him.

When he was of 18 and I was of 17. He introduced me to his girlfriend. I was heart broken. When I confronted him he said,"I don't think of me as his fiancee." I wanted to tell bade papa about it but I didn't want to hurt him so I was crying alone when Aarzoo came to me and asked for the reason to my tears. I was hesitant but later I shared my pain with her.

She got very angry and said,"I will make Ruhaan to confess that you are his fiancee"

I said,"how?"

She said,"you leave that to me. Future sister-in-law."

I smiled at her term.

She said,"you have to listen to me with out questioning. I nodded."

We had annual party in a week. I never wore anything other than Salwar Kameez after our engagement but Aarzoo made me wear long gown for the party and she did my make up. I was shocked to see myself in mirror. I never knew I can look like this. She insisted that I leave my hair open but Ruhaan don't like it. I don't want to do it but she didn't listen to me and left my hair open.

Ruhaan already left for the party so Shahyan dropped us. I can see Aarzoo was missing Arham. It's been year since he left for London and I always see her zoned out in his thoughts. I hope she gets her happy ending with him.

When we reached the college I saw Ruhaan dancing with his girlfriend. I felt tears in my eyes when Aarzoo said,"you will not cry for him. You have to show him what he lost. Wait I know what we have to do."

She went to her friend Ahaan and said something in his ear. He smiled and showed her thumbs up.

He came to me and asked me for dance. I was hesitant but Aarzoo pushed me to go and dance with him.

I placed my hand in his and he took me to the dance floor. He slowly placed his hand on my waist and with other hand he got hold of my hand. I was feeling very uncomfortable I have never been this close to a boy before. I felt like I was betraying Ruhaan but when I saw him dancing with Adira that feeling went out of my system. After sometime Ahaan looked at Aarzoo she said something to him in signs and he wrapped his both hands around my waist and pulled me closer. My eyes widened. I was feeling very uncomfortable. He moved closer to my face and wishpered in my ear. " Don't worry I will not do anything just stay like this. Your hero is looking at us and he is seething in anger but he deserve it for breaking heart of a beautiful girl like you. He is jealous. It's clearly showing on his face. It's working for you but not for me. She is not affected at all."

I said,"Who?"

He said,"promise me you will not tell her."

I said,"promise. Now tell me who is it?"

He said,"Aarzoo. I love her since I saw her for the first time. I never saw a girl like her. Beauty with brains. He is beautiful, smart,soft hearted, caring, friendly. She is perfect girl any one can desire for. I am going to make her mine one day no matter what."

I was shocked by hearing his confession.

I said,"but you know right? She loves someone else."

He said,"I know. She loves Arham but he don't deserve her. He didn't treat her the way she needs to me treated. She is a princess and she need to be treated like that not like some unwanted guest. I know her importance and I am not losing her to anyone."

I said,"you are too obsessed with her"

He smiled and said," I am not obsessed but I am very possessive about her. I think your hero is coming this way. Keep talking."

Suddenly I felt someone pulled me away from Ahaan. I know who it is. Ruhaan. I know him by his touch.

He said,"Ahaan can I have a talk with Zara?"

Ahaan said,"ya sure.see you later Zara" he left.

Once he left Ruhaan dragged me with him to the entrance and said,"What the hell are you doing with him?"

I said,"I was dancing with him."

He said,"you can't dance with him. Don't forget who you are?"

I said,"Why can't I ? I want to know who I am?"

He said,"you can't dance with any other man because you are engaged."

I laughed and said,"engaged? Actually the person to whom I am engaged to is having a close dance with his girlfriend so I thought may be I can also find a boyfriend and enjoy my life."

He got hold of my arms and said,"you are mine you understand. You should only think about me."

I pushed his hand away and said,"I am not your property Ruhaan. You told me yourself that you don't believe in our engagement. I think It's time to break this name sake engagement and move on in our lives. Now Ammi's health is good so no need to carry on this forced engagement .you can freely have a girlfriend and I will find a partner who doesn't think of me as burden."

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer and said,"listen to me and listen carefully. You are mine and no one else can take you from me. I am your fiancee and I will be your future husband no one else."

I wriggled to come out of his arms but He hold me too tight.

I said,"I am not yours if you are not mine. You can only claim your right on me if you give me my right on you. I am not going accept this one way declaration."

He said,"okay. I give you right on me."

I was shocked and said,"What about your girlfriend?"

He smiled and said,"I think she can find someone else. Anyway we are not that serious. I just wanted to annoy you to see what I meant to you."

I shyly looked down. He placed hand under my chin and lifted it and said,"let me claim my right" with this he placed his lips on mine..

My first kiss..

Hope you are enjoying :)
