Situation was something like, empty venue with only 7 people inside. Amna was sitting in chair with Aryaan behind her chair leaving against it. Maham was sitting in sofa while Zain was still leaning against pillar with head down

Shehnaaz was quietly standing with gaze on ground and Sidharth was standing right beside her with arms crossed looking at Alam who was very much pissed at for things he has said today about his daughter being his fiancé when he clearly rejected wedding proposal from his side

"Yeh tumne kyun kiya?" Alam asked clenching his jaw

"You know exactly why" Sidharth answered him making Shehnaaz click her tongue at his rude tone

"Phir tumhe bhi pata he hoga mene mana krdiya tha apni beti ki shaadi tumse karwane se!" Alam's tone rise up at his attitude which caused kids to stress up and looked at each other

     Shehnaaz was just praying that Sidharth won't get mad and react like he usually do with others and luck was on her side when he was still standing beside her with calm expressions. She glanced in his way for mere second before looking back down, she just hopes everything will be alright

"Pata hai mujhe" He nodded simply

"Phir bhi yeh kiya tumne! Meri beti tumse shaadi bikul nahi karegi" Alam's full  face has gone red in anger

      Amna doesn't wanna laugh but she can't help it after hearing her father's word, she has problem of laughing in serious situations don't blame her we all have same problem

"Apki asaal problem kya hai mujhse bata dou?" Sidharth was trying really hard to stay calm for her sake but her father is pissing him off badly. Maham let out worried sigh and stood up from her place

"Baba let them be together bas ab" She said in fear of Sidharth saying or doing something in anger

"Tum beech mein nahi bolo gi maham!" He glared at his daughter who seems to be more scared by her father's glares and kept her mouth shut

"Kyun nahi aye wo beech mein uska haq nahi apni bhen ki zindagi mein bolne ka jese apko hai apni beti ki zindagi mein bolne ka and you are taking full advantage of it?" Sidharth raised eyebrows at him

"Tum mujhe mat batao haq ki baat!" He scowl getting closer younger boy "Shehnaaz ko chor dou sidharth kyun ke mein ijazat nahi duga tum dono ke Nikkah ki kabhi bhi" He kept his words sigh firmness

"Mein Shehnaaz ko kabhi nahi choru ga chahiye ap Nikkah ki ijazat dou ya nahi Shehnaaz toh srif meri he hai" He looked directly in eyes of old man with confidence and braveness

"Shehnaaz chalo yahan se" Alam ordered while looking at Sidharth and signal his daughters to leave with him

       Zain rolled his eyes when maham stood up to follow his father while amna kept sitting there knowing there was noway Sidharth is letting her leave and amna was right about it when he gripped on hand of Shehnaaz who also didn't protest but she has fear and guilt  in her eyes as she's disobeying her father

"Shehnaaz kahen nahi jaye gi" He declared to her father. His voice held authority and power as he pulled her closer him

"Shehnaaz beta chalo" Alam turned to look at his daughter who didn't take any step

"B-baba please m-maan jaye" She requested with glassy eyes. It's either him or her father, she knows it by the way her father's eyes went dull

"I love him" She confessed

      She hasn't even said to him yet and now she said it in front of her father. She can tell Sidharth's proud of her when he's looking at her with lips curved in small smile. He always wanted her to speak up for them and she did it today

"Shehnaaz beta yeh shaadi aur commitment wala larka nahi hai he's just saying he won't marry you beta please understand and come with your baba here" He forwarded his hand for her but she shook her head

"P-please accept him" tears slid down her cheek as she plead her father to accept their relationship

"Meri beti he isn't like us you will regret this discussion of being with him trust me trust your father beta!" He now desperately wants his daughter to listen to him and leave Sidharth

"Ap mujhpe trust karo baba I know he didn't have best image but he's good to your daughter and that all should matter. He makes me happy baba he takes care of me" She wants her father to understand that and trust her decision for once

      He should know him personally and see how he treats her before he comes to any decision. Sidharth just stared at her with love in his eyes. She saying those things for him made him feel overwhelmed. He really loves her more than she could imagine and he's not letting her go anywhere away from him. He has promised her that he won't leave her and he will make sure to fill that promise of his

"It's either him or me. Chose" Alam's words made Sidharth feel word fear for first time in his life. He has never ever been scared like this before, his heart rate was rising up and his grip was getting stronger on her

"Don't make her cho-" she cut him off in middle of speaking

"He's my husband" She told her father who looks like he has seen some ghost or floor under him has slipped away

      Everyone else also seems to be surprised by words that left her mouth. They always thought Sidharth will be one saying this but it shook them, amna was happy inside for Shehnaaz who got courage to speak truth without fear while maham was freaking out waiting for their father's reaction on news that she has broken out. Zain pushed himself off pillar with surprised and get little closer others while Aryaan seems to be most shock one here with half open mouth

"H-He's what?" Alam asked not believing that his most obedient and innocent daughter was saying this. I mean he will be less shock if amna some days say this but hearing it from Shehnaaz felt like betrayal to him. She promised him

"I-I'm sorry baba" It came out barely as whisper. She can't hold her tears anymore and they came out "you know whom will I chose. I'm sorry" She continued feeling worst daughter ever

"She doesn't have to be sorry actually" Everyone turned their head to look at amna who spoke "You have pushed them to this path baba!" She said not caring how much scolds she will get later

"Apne bina kuch soche smjhe Sidharth bhai ke parents ko suna diya when they came to properly asked for rishta phir apne bina apni beti ki feelings jane use promise karwaya ke she won't see him I'm sorry baba but you had this coming. You can't force her to be happy after separating her from someone she loves" she finished and let out breath she was holding. Aryaan looked at her with wide eyes he could never do things she do. She's so brave and fearless

     Alam seems to be lost in his thoughts. He didn't shut amna up or burst out at Shehnaaz for doing this. He just stayed there

"Amna aur maham chalo" He said not sparing even glance at Shehnaaz who's heart broke into million pieces

"But bab-" He cut off amna

"Chalo amna!" He glared at her who couldn't help but listen to him and stood up from her place

"Aj ke baad tum na sidharth gabol ke sath koi contact rakho ge na he uski biwi ke sath samjhe!" He warned them before taking them out of venue

     Sidharth didn't waste time pulling his wife against his chest in hug as she broke into tears. Her father has cut ties off with her now and even asked her sister to not have any contact with her. She sobs into his chest who tighten his grip feeling like his own heart was arching seeing her cry like this

    She wrapped arms around him as well and cried even harder. Zain and Aryaan came to stand beside her both feeling heart broken for her

"It's okay I'm here for you meri jaan you don't have to cry" He murmured against her hairline "Please stop crying Shehnaaz" He has weird feeling hearing her cry like this

"W-wo mujhse baat nahi karenge kabhi bhi Sidharth" She cried into his chest. He rubbed her back gently

"Karen ge meri jaan he's your father after all he will do it" He assured her even tho he himself doesn't know if he will or not

"Hum haina tumhare sath Shehnaaz tumhe rone ki zarorat nahi hai" Aryaan said standing right beside her and Sidharth

"And who need your father when your baap saman bhai is here huh?" Zain plant kiss on back of her head
