It was neelum and haroons barat day, the day of her doom.
She was so happy, so excited as she was going to wear her favourite dress. Instead of going to any beauty salon today she thought of doing her own makeup and hair.

Getting herself ready she came out of her room, the function was held downstairs in the haveli. Making her way downstairs her eyes caught hold of armaghan who seemed frustrated and not ready with a pair of kurta shalwar in his hands.

"Any problem?" Unable to stop herself from asking she said and he looked over at her. He did admit in his heart that she was ravishing. He had never seem someone so pretty and elegant at the same time before.

"Ah, I need to get these ironed and no one seems to be around." Looking anywhere but at her he said.

"Main kardoo? ( shall I?) "
She asked out if nowhere and his eyes shot up at her. She was fully ready and absolutely slaying, Why would any girl do work after getting ready for weddings. Shw definitely was a exception.

"If It wont bother you?, I mean you seem ready to join the event downstairs? "He asked and she smiled.

"No problem at all, just give me five minutes and I will hand it over to you ."
She said with a genuine smile and hesitantly he handed her his dress following her to the laundry room.
His contant glare was making it hard for her to concentrate but she never gave up. She ironed his dress with all her might.

"So you are in the army? "She asked to start a conversation with him.

"Yeah! It was my dream to be a part of the army one day since childhood and I succeeded. "
He said smiling softly and looking at him she did not realize she burnt her finger alittle.

"Ow." she winced

"Hey you alright?"
Coming towards her he plugged off the switch and held her hand and she flinched moving back.

"Sorry." He said feeling flushed and stepped back.

"Its okay. Your dress is ready, I better go now. "
Saying this she was out of there nearly running outside but was stopped midway by raoul.

"Kahan ki uraan hai pari sahiba? "(Where are you flying miss fairy? )
Raoul said smirking, his eyes on her burnt finger.

"Tumhare sath masla kia hai? hato mere rastay se."( what is your problem, move away), Pushing him away she left from there and he chuckled .
..

All the function she had seen armaghans eyes on her but when she looked his way he would look away instantly.
Getting on the stage they had come alot closer and when he murmured a thanks to her, she smiled and only nodded her head in response.

"Use this ointment, the burn will be fine." Giving her alittle tube he said and she looked at him. This was a lovely gesture.

"This was not necessary, its just a small burn but thanks, this means alot."
She said with a smile that was reaching her eyes also.

"Jo bhi, tha to meri wajah se na.( whatever, but it was because of me!)" .
He said and left the next moment because raoul had called him.

"Coming buddy. " he said going towards him and parishays eyes trailed over his back. She slowly slipped the oitment tube in her purse.

...

The dinner and ruksati were spent very nicely. The function got over and the bride was taken to her room. The haveli was huge and had seperate portions for every family. Haroon and neelums room was decorated. All the guests were gathered around the newly weds.
Parishay feeling extremely tired walked away and headed to her room.
Getting inside she was engulfed in a hug and screaming she patted her hands on the switch board to turn on the lights and freight took over her seeing a smirking raoul in front of her, extremely close to her.

"Darr gayeen? ( scared?)" He asked with a evil laugh

"What are you doing here? Get out ! Right now or I will scream. Get lost."
She yelled pushing him away.

Na na na, dont do a mistake like that baby doll. You were getting very cozy with armaghan in the laundry room then what is the problem with me?"
He said coming closer again and she yelled louder hearing footsteps outside her room.

The room door opened and all the people of the house were seen standing outside.

"What is going on in here Parishay? "Mr ali yelled.

"Papa, i dont know, raoul just barged into my room and was harassing me. "
She said tears brimming out of her eyes.

"Stop lying pari, dont hide from them, let them know that we both love eachother."
Raoul said and she looked at him shocked

"What am I hearing? "Mr salim said.

"He is lying, he was harassing me. " Parishay said.

"My son cant do anything like this . She is just like her sister. Were you planning on seducing my son and escaping with him? Were you turning my one and only son against me ? haan."
Raouls mother came in and slapped parishay hard across the face.

"Parishay is right, hear her out, raoul was after her from days. "
Dana gathering up courage spoke up and parishay looked at her with thankful eyes.

"You dont know these girls dana, she must be trapping him."
Dana's mother, parishays aunt had said and parishay looked bewildered.

"Please try to trust me you all! "
parishay begged crying.

"Papa." She said looking at her father.

"I did not expect this from you parishay. "
Her dad had said with tears in his eyes and she held her head in his hands. She direly wished her mother would be alive this moment or her sister would have never eloped with a guy imprinting bad name at her also.
She was being seen as a culprit. No one was trusting her.

"Dada jee, just get us married please, i love her and she loves me too."
Raoul kept saying things but her head went dizzy, she remembered saying he was trapping her before fainting.

Coming from his office, Armaghan entered the house and was greeted with silence.

"Abid!" He called looking around.

"I sent him away, he said his wife was sick so..."
Armaghan turned around hearing Parishay's soft voice and was mesmerised to see her.
She was perfectly ready in a mint green dress with a perfect amount of makeup.
His eyes trailed on her. She was adorable, pure and his! A perfect fairy just like her name.

"You are punctual, a perfect army wife. I must say I am impressed."
He smiled saying this and she blushed at his compliment.

"I will be back in a minute, let me just change."
Saying this he left for their room and she sighed. She wanted to tell him he looked so good in his uniform but she kept sileny. She always thought of saying it to him but held back.

He was back in ten minutes totally ready, very true to his words.

"Chalen!( lets go)"
He said forwarding his hands and nodding her head she gave her hand into his.
..

Everyone at the tea party welcomed her open heartedly, she had made some good friends with the wives of armaghans course mates.

"Bhabi, he is one of the best we have in our batch." Some one had said and she smiled feeling a pang of proudness arise in her chest.

They all kept calling her" bhabi armaghan " and it sounded cute.
It felt lovely being associated with him. To be recognised by his name but did he also felt nice being associated to her? She thought.
She had seen him eyeing her through out the function and when she looked over at him he smiled an assuring soft smile, still not looking away.

The mess assoociations head had gifted her a beautiful souvenir and thanking them they were back home.

Coming back home parishay proceeded inside their room.
She was about remove her makeup when she saw armaghan enter. He stood near the door eyeing her intently with many emotions lingering in his eyes.
Putting down her cleanser she turned towards him.

"You mrs armaghan mairij were looking gorgeous, an epitomy of beauty!"
He said in his husky voice coming dangerously close to her and his manly scent had started invading her mind.

"Maghaan!"
Came her whisper and he smiled caging her between him and the wall.
Her breathing was getting abnormal now...
She held onto his shirts collar out of reaction.

"You looked good too. " gathering up courage She said, her head bowed low and he smiled, a wide, full happy smile.

"Achaa aur kuch? "He smiled bringing his lips closer to her ear while his hands touched her soft silky locks of hair.

"Aap, ap door hojayen please. ( please move away)."
Came in her shaky voice.

"Aur agar na hoo to.( and what if I dont?) "
He said cocking up his brow.

"Having so many doubts about me in your heart and mind, dont touch me! dont be a hypoctite please."
She said with hurt filled in her voice and he backed away. His expressions getting serious. He looked at her sternly.

"This is for the hundreth time you are saying this parishay. If I would have doubted you even for a minute I would have never had done nikkah with you. Dont you get it?
Dont you trust yourself? Why do you keep saying this bullshit. Why do you keep remembering the worst phase of your life ?
And remember if I would have been a hypoctite Then I would have left you at the haveli with all the others torturing you. I would never have brought you here with me parishay! "
Trying to control his anger he said nearly yelling.
His words somehow portrayed sincerety. She felt like believing him.
Tears were quick to roll down her eyes.

"I am sorry ! but everyone saw me as if I was the culprit and you, you also kept silent. He, he was your friend and.." she said stuttering. Her eyes smudging with mascara due to tears.

"I am sorry that I kept silent but I did trust you parishay! I was not aware of anything, and I did not have any right to speak on that matter.

"But why ? And why you remained silent? You trusted me then you should have atleast said it to me.
I know I was forced onto you. You had no intentions of marrying and i just came as a burden suddenly and to top off that my chatacter was also doubty." She said wiping away her tears smudging the mascara more.

"Enough! Parishay. Bohat hogayeen fazool baten. Bhool jao ye sab.( enough of stupid talks, just forget this all.)."
Picking up a tissue he wiped away her tears and tried removing the smudged mascara from her eyes.

"Log nahi bhoolne dete ye sab. ( society does not let you forget.)"
She said placing her head on his chest and he kissed her head.

"I shall go and change." Pulling back she said and left for the washroom.
Coming inside she gasped standing in front of the mirror. Her tear stained face with black mascara traces made her look scary.
Smiling whilst crying she quickly cleaned her face and took a warm shower before heading into their room.

"You should have told me I looked scary!" Snuggling inside the blanket she said and he looked at her and smiled. She looked pure. Her eyes still swollen due to excessive crying.

"I like you in all the looks, dont worry." Holding her arm he pulled her to him and claimed her lips. She felt at peace and did not protest at all.
He smiled seeing her kissing him back. Slowly his kisses trailed down and she gave in pulling onto his hair. Opening up her shirts buttons he switched off the lamps and embraced her.
