It's the wedding day. Girls are at Yasmin's house getting her ready and boys are with Yunus.

"You are looking beautiful Yasmin!" Kehara exclaimed.

"JazakAllah kehara."

"I can't believe Yunus is getting married!" Yamina said.

"Yeah! Yunus is very lucky!" Yalina said smiling.

"But I hate him for taking my sister away." Zulaikha said hugging Yasmin.

"Don't you dare start crying again Zulaikha." Sarah said in a scolding voice.

"Yeah! I'm not going to do all that make up again." Eman said.

"Okay girls. It's almost time." Noor said looking at her wrist watch.

"I'm nervous!" Yasmin said.

"And it is absolutely normal! Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Now come let's go Yunus is waiting for his princess." Kehara said.

"Group Hug!" Noor shouted.

***
Nikha is done and now some people are chatting,some are eating and some are just sitting. It is a beautiful wedding. Yalina is ignoring Yusuf and guess what!? Yusuf is getting annoyed by that. Interesting!

Where on one hand everyone is enjoying ,kehara is standing in one corner.

"Kehara what are you thinking?" Mrs khan asked. Kehara looked up and smiled.

"Nothing." 

"Oh come on there is definitely something. Something is bothering you?"

"No. Nothing is bothering me."

"Okay fine. If you don't want to tell then it's okay. I was just worried." Mrs khan said in hurt tone and  Kehara chuckled.

"You moms! Even my mom use to do that. Make us feel guilty so that we say what is bothering us." Mrs khan laughed before saying.

"And it always works! So tell me what's wrong?"

"Trust me nothing is wrong. I'm just..."

"You are just?"

"Missing my mom. It's her birthday today."

"Oh. Don't be sad kid. She will never like to see you sad on her birthday."

"I know. But.."

"But?"

"For the very first time in my life I saw tears in my dad's eyes today when he was looking at my mom's picture. And that broke me." Kehara said looking at her dad and Mrs khan also looked at him sympathetically.

"He lost his wife kehara. Of course it hurts him. You cannot expect him to be strong every time. He is a human being after all."

"I know but it's just disturbing."

"Everything will be fine kehara." Mrs khan said giving kehara a side hug and kehara smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Kehara come here fast." Wafa shouted from another corner of the room.

"Coming." Kehara turned to Mrs khan and said "Thank you and don't worry I'm fine." With that she left leaving behind a very sad Mrs khan.

***

After lunch everyone left. The only ones still there are Yunus and Yasmin's close family and the whole Masjid group.

"So so so so so!" Noor said looking at Yasmin.

"What?" Yasmin asked in confusion.

"What did he say when he saw you!" Noor exclaimed making Yasmin laugh.

"Well he said I'm the most beautiful person on earth. And made a promise."

"What promise?" Sarah asked eagerly.

"Oh yes please tell. Let me see how romantic my brother is." Yalina said and everyone laughed.

"To be there for me till his last breath."

"Awwwwwwwwww." Everyone awwed together.

"But that's it?" Zulaikha asked.

"There are few things I won't tell you." Yasmin said turning red.

"What did he say that cannot be told in public!" Eman teased making her blush harder.

"Nothing! Now stop embarrassing me and take all my things. we are leaving now!"

Everyone decided to leave. Yasmin is going back home. She will shift with Yunus after their Walima. Girls are walking together, Continuously teasing Yasmin. Boys are doing the same. And parents are walking behind everyone. All of a sudden Kehara gasped and stopped walking. All the Girls stopped as well.

"Kehara what's wrong?" Yamina asked. When kehara didn't move Noor said in concern.

"Kehara you are scaring me. What happened."

Instead of replying Noor Kehara said "oh No." And started running. This caught everyone's attention including all men and parents. And when they saw where Kehara was going they saw Sufyaan walking really fast and he looked really very angry. There was a guy standing near a car and it seemed like Sufyaan was going to him. Before Sufyaan could reach to him Kehara came and stood in front of that guy as if trying to protect him.

"BHAI! Calm down."

"Don't tell me to do that Kehara. I'm not going to leave this idiot. How dare you come here."

"Sufyaan at least listen to me. I know what I did was wrong but just listen to me."

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Just leave before I kill you. "

"Bhai please." Kehara said and seeing tears in her eyes Sufyaan could not take it anymore and punched that guy causing his nose to bleed.

"SUFYAAN!" Khurshid shouted and all the men came to stop Sufyaan.

"Leave him alone. Aman take him with you." Sufyaan was not ready to leave. Aman and Afzal had to literally drag him. Only ones left there was kehara, her father and Noman.

"What are you doing here Noman?" Khurshid asked calmly.

"I just want to talk to Kehara. It will just take five minutes. Please mamu."

"Fine. But Sufyaan will be there with you two." Saying that Khurshid took Kehara's hand in his and went where Sufyaan and everyone else was standing. When khurshid reached there Sufyaan shouted.

"Why the hell is he here!?"

"Stop yelling Sufyaan." Khurshid scolded him.

"He just wants to talk to Kehara."

"And what makes him think I will let that happen."

"I said him yes."

"What! Dad! How can you do that. I know he is your nephew but look what he did." Sufyaan pointed towards Kehara who was scared and crying.

"Sufyaan he just wants to talk. That won't harm. Go with Kehara. sit on that bench and listen to what he has to say."

"But Shaikh if Sufyaan don't want Kehara to talk to him then why don't you just listen to him. Sufyaan is refusing for a reason." Mr Khan said.

"He is just being immature sir. Sufyaan go with her. And don't you dare talk in between. And dare you again touch him. Now go." Sufyaan took Kehara's hand in his hand and went to the bench. Khurshid went to Noman and said.

"Go talk to her. But remember this time you hurt her I will forget that you are my sister's son. You will deal with Kehara's dad then." Noman nodded and left. Khurshid returned to where everyone was standing.

"What's going on khurshid." Asked Ahmed (Yunus,Yalina and Yamina's father.)

"He is Noman my nephew." Before he could continue Noor said.

"Oh My Allah what is he doing here."

"I don't know. Well where was I. Yes he is Noman my nephew. He is Kehara's ex fiancé." Everyone's eyes widened.

"  He and kehara where best friends when they were kids. My sister loves Kehara a lot so she always wanted to make Kehara her daughter in law. So after begging for almost million times we agreed to get them engaged. Kehara was just three that's why me and My wife was not ready but my sister insisted a lot. Noman was a nice,kind and well mannered child so we agreed. Kehara has a cousin Shazia who was also her best friend. Shazia,Kehara and Noman were always together. They were in the same school and then in the same college. Noman was always caring for kehara and use to make her smile every time. We all thought we made a good decision. But slowly Noman realised he loves Shazia. And the funny thing is even Shazia loves Noman. They had an Affair even when he was engaged to her. We can say he cheated on Kehara. They cheated on her. When my wife was ill she said she wants kehara to get married before see dies. That's when Noman announced that he loved someone else. And not just someone else her best friend."

"Ya Allah. That's so bad." Mrs khan said.

"But what you guys did was wrong. Why will you get your three years old daughter engage?"  Eman's mom asked in disbelief.

"It was not like we did a big ceremony. My sister just started saying she was engaged to him to let everyone know she was reserved for him. Kehara was given a actual engagement ring two years back when someone asked about her for marriage. I was never going to force kehara in this relationship. But Kehara was not against it.she loved him so I was okay with it."

"Why is he here then?" Yunus asked.

"I don't know. He said he wants to talk to Kehara for just five minutes."

"You should also go with them Khurshid." Bilal (Yasmin's dad) said.

"He won't be able to talk in front of me. I just hope Sufyaan don't kill him by the end."

"If he does that I'm with him." Yalina said looking at where kehara was sitting.

"We all will support him Yalina." Aman said looking at Noman in rage.

***

"So..." Noman said.

"Just speak. We don't have the whole day for your nonsense." Sufyaan said.

"You are making it difficult Sufyaan." Noman said. Noman was trying to find a way to talk to her and Sufyaan was just making it more difficult for him.

"Noman why are you here. What do you want." Kehara said. It took a lot of courage for her to speak. Saying that she was shocked to see him will be a understatement. She wished to never see him again.

"Kehara I'm sorry. We are sorry. You know our parents never asked us about our choice.." kehara cut him and said.

"Yes we were never given the choice and I never said what you did was wrong. But yes when you were not sure about me then why were you so possessive? Why did you hate when I talk to a boy?"

Noman was shocked. Kehara has never showed that she was hurt because of this decision. She always said she totally support their decision. He thought Kehara won't say anything this time as well. Maybe he was wrong.

"Well..because..."

"Can't find a answer?" Sufyaan said.

"Let him speak bhai. I want to know what he has to say."

"That was because you are my cousin Kehara. I just wanted to protect you." This made Kehara laugh. Everyone including Sufyaan looked at Kehara in concern.

"Why is she laughing in this situation?" Sarah asked.

"How will I know." Wafa said in a baby voice.

"Noman Ali the trust is you were in love with me. But when you realised Shazia was much more beautiful  than me you thought nahh Kehara is not my type. I don't love her. I was forced!" Kehara was literally yelling now. Everyone could hear what they were talking.

"That's not true. Kehara I was not in love with you. Yes I was possessive. I don't like any girl related to me talk to any other guy. You were technically engaged to me. I don't like my fiance talking to any other guy."

"That's exactly what I wanted you to say.  You wanted me to live like you want,you want me to dress like you want, you want me to talk like you want but you don't want to include me in your life. If you were never interested in me why will you do that. Why did you make me believe that you love me. Why were you controlling my life!"

"I never knew he was controlling her life. How dare he tell her how was she was suppose to dress and talk!" Khurshid said standing up.

"What! Kehara he did what? How dare you say my sister how she should dress or to whom she should talk. What the hell do you think of yourself!"

"Uncle are you sure we should still stand here? Sufyaan looks like he will punch him anytime." Adnan said.

"I totally agree." Azhar said.

"Answer me Noman. Fine you never liked me. You were forced. But then why you behaved as if you are interested in me. If you were always behaving the same way like you behave now I would have never done the mistake of thinking you care about me. that you love me. Noman why!" Kehara stood up and banged both there hands on the table.

"I'm sorry Kehara. I don't have any answer to your questions. All I could say is I'm extremely sorry. I never thought it will hurt you to this much."

"Noman just because I don't say I'm hurt that does not mean I'm not hurt. If I don't show that it affects me that does not mean it is not affecting me. Even I'm human! Even I have a heart unfortunately!"

Everyone was quiet. Everyone had tears in their eyes by now. Kehara who was trying a lot to hold her angry back finally lost her cool. Noman cannot behave like he was right all the time. He cannot justify his actions anymore.

"Noman why are you here?" Kehara asked slowly trying hard not to cry.

"I never thought you were so hurt kehara. I thought even you were not interested in me just like me."

"Really? Noman I did what ever you said. I was always there when you needed me. I even lied to your mom when you told me to do so. I was always doing things you like. Was that not obvious that I love you. Are you blind? Or you just didn't care what I do?" Kehara asked in disbelief.

"I just didn't care kehara. I'm an idiot."

"Oh that you definitely are."  Sufyaan said as if he was singing.

" And I'm sorry for that. But Shazia is not like me. She knew you were hurt that's why I'm here today."

"Yeah Shazia is not like you. She is a really good girl. She knew about my feelings yet was with you. She is just amazing. Isn't she?"

"There was no use of sending them alone. We can hear everything they say." Zulaikha said still looking at keraha.

"That's because they are screaming." Yamina said.

"I never thought Kehara could scream." Noor said and everyone looked at her  indicating her to keep quiet.

"We are getting married next week. Shazia don't want to start a new life hurting someone. So she told me to come here and apologise to you. For everything we did, For every pain we gave you, for every tear that dropped from your eyes because of us, I'm sorry. We are sorry kehara. I can't do anything now. But if you ever need us we are always there for you."  As soon as Noman finished Kehara went inside the masjid. Without saying a word. When girls tried to go behind her khurshid stopped them saying she needs some time alone.
