"Thank you."

Everyone in the room either frowned or looked at each other. Noor confused them more. Zeeshan was expecting her to slap him just like Afzal but she shocked him as well. Even he had a frown on his forehead now.

"Noor?" Mrs. Khan called her daughter.

"I will never forget your favour, Zeeshan. JazakAllahu khairan for helping."

"Noor, did he blackmail you? Why are you thanking that? Just tell me the truth and I will handle it." Sufyaan said.

Noor looked at Sufyaan and shook her head,"No Sufyaan Bhai.He helped me."

Raiyan extended his hand which had a file in it. Noor took the file from him before saying,"Thank you for helping me Raiyan. May Allah bless you for going against your Brother and helping me."

Mr. Khan came and stood next to his daughter before asking,"Noor, what is going on?"

Noor who had stopped crying suddenly started crying again when she saw her father. She took his hand and kissed it. She was scared,she felt if now she leaves his hand she won't be able to hold it ever again.

Noor turned around and started searching for her mother. She was standing next to Kehara. Noor went to her mother and hugged her. She was holding her really close with the fear of losing her.

"Noor, meri jaan."

"Ammi."

"I'm here. Don't worry."

"Don't leave me please."

"I will never leave you."

"Ammi." Noor started crying again.

"Shhh enough. Come on, stop crying." Mrs. Khan rubbed Noor's back.

Noor pulled away after crying for some more time. Mrs. Khan wiped her tears but soon tears started flowing again. Zyva finally gathered enough courage to go and talk to Noor. She slowly went to her and took Noor's hand in her hand but did not say anything.

"Zyva, you are a blessing. And just like you even your sister is a blessing." Noor said.

"What do you mean?"

"She also helped me."

"How?" Zyva asked frowning.

"Enough of suspense now! Noor and Zeeshan you both better start your story!" Aman said loudly.

"Noor, come here." Dadajaan called Noor.

Noor, with the speed of snail went to her Dadajaan. He kissed her forehead before smiling,"You are such a brave girl. MashaAllah I'm so proud of you."

Noor finally smiled,"Thank you."

"Now it's time to tell the truth. Don't worry I'm here with you. No one can harm you. I will protect you."

"Dadajaan, I love you."

"I love you too meri jaan."

"Wildan can you bring a chair for my Dadajaan. This story will take time." Noor said.

"Yeah,sure." Wildan instantly ran to being one chair for Dadajaan.

He brought it and kept it next to Dadajaan. Noor, helped Dadajaan to sit and once he was sitting comfortably she turned to face everyone. She looked at Zeeshan, who as usual had to emotions or expressions on his face. Then she looked at her Dadajaan who nodded indicating her to start.

"It all started when Zynah and I were in a coffee shop enjoying our time and Ibaad out of nowhere came there."

"You are Noor,right?"

"Yes. I'm sorry I didn't recognise you."

"I'm Ibaad Ismail."

Noor and Zynah exchanged glances. Noor frowned asking her what to do and Zynah shook her head in a no, telling her she has no idea what should be done​. They looked at Ibaad again who was smiling. Noor smiled back before standing up and sitting next to Zynah so that Ibaad could sit on her chair which was across from them.

"Oh by the way, this is my girlfriend Vanessa." Ibaad said pointing at the girl who was standing next to him. They both sat down on the chairs across from them.

Surprisingly none of them noticed her. They were too lost to notice her. Noor and Zynah again exchanged glances. But this time Noor smiled. Zynah widened her eyes which made Noor giggle. They both turned to them again. Noor smiled widely and Zynah forced a smile.

"So let's not beat around the bush and directly come on our problem. I'm really sorry Noor but I cannot marry you. My parents are really old-fashioned and they want me to marry an Indian girl but I'm in love with Vanessa and I want to marry her. My parents rejected her of course and started searching for an Indian wife for me. Im not allowed to say no. So can yo..."

"I will say no! No problem at all!" Noor said without letting him complete the sentence.

Ibaad smiled,"that's great. Thanks."

"You're welcome!"

"Thanks nuh. You are an angel." Vanessa said.

Noor smiled,"it's Noor. Nice to meet you Vanessa. Beautiful name by the way."

"Thank you." Vanessa said smiling. Then she turned to Ibaad,"I think we should leave now. We are disturbing them."

"Yeah, you are right." Ibaad and Vanessa stood up. "It was nice meeting you Noor. Please talk to your parents as soon as possible."

"Don't​ worry. I will call them in some time and reject you."

"I never thought I'll so happy for being rejected. Thank you again."

Noor smiled and waved her hand. Once they were gone Noor looked at Zynah whose eyes were wide open.

"It's ok, Zynah."

"What the heck was that!?"

"That was a blessing. Alhumdulillah!"

Zynah looked at Noor as if she was a mad women,"you are so weird."

"Jazaki Allahu khairan Zynah Jaani."

"What are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to fulfill his wish and reject him."

"But your family will ask you a reason."

"Hmm that's the only problem."

"They are not going to leave you easily this time."

"I know but even I'm Noor Ali Osman Khan! They cannot win when it's me!"

"This is where I lost it. Over confidence." Noor said who was looking down."I was going to say no but Dadajaan told me to think about it properly. He gave me one weeks time to think."

"We were going to come back here the very next week." Dadajaan said.

"So when we came back I was going to reject him like I promised but then everything went wrong."

Noor was unpacking when her mom called her in the living room. She left her bag open and went down in the living room. She was surprised to see her parents and Dadajaan in the living room. She was expecting her father to be in the office and Dadajaan wanted to sleep.

"What's wrong?" Noor asked.

" Why didn't​ you tell us?" Mr. Khan asked.

"About what?"

"Ibaad, told us everything." Mrs. Khan said.

Noor tilted her head,"huh?"

"Finally." Dadajaan said.

Noor frowned but her mother and Dadajaan started laughing. Then she looked​ at her father who was looking sad. She frowned deeper before saying,

"What? What? What?"

"Ibaad called your father today and said you both have decided to get married." Mrs. Khan said.

Noor's eyes pooped out from its socket. She shook her head in a no.

"You should have told us directly. Why did he call?" Mr. Khan asked.

"Even I wonder why he called​!"

"It's ok now. The point is her is ready to get married." Dadajaan said.

"No. Wait, when did Ibaad call?"

"In the morning." Mrs. Khan replied.

"What?" Noor whispered.

"I'm​ going back to work." Mr. Khan said.

He stood up and left the room. Soon Mrs. Khan noticed his keys on the couch and went behind her husband to give him his keys. Dadajaan stood up to leave the room,too.

"Noor, I'm so happy."

Noor was still confused and very angry. Dadajaan left and now Noor was alone in the room. She was lost in her thoughts trying to understand what was happening. Her phone which was in her hand started ringing. Absentmindedly she answered the call.

"Noor, what is happening? Zyva Baji, just called me and said you are ready to get married to that Ibaad."

"Ya Allah! Zynah, I don't know what is happening! Why did he say that when he has a girlfriend?"

"Maybe they broke up."

"So he will destroy my life?"

"What will you do now?"

Noor sat down on the couch with her right hand on her forehead and left hand holding her phone.

"I don't know."

"You should call him."

"Yes. That's a good idea. I will call him."

"Perfect. Disconnect this call and call him."

"Yeah ok........Wait wait wait."

"What?"

"I don't have his number."

"Oh."

"I cannot ask my parents to give me his number."

"Yeah. Then?"

"You are still there! Zynah I know the name of the place where he works! Can you please go there. Please please please please for me?"

"Don't say please. I will go there."

"Thank you so much."

"But what am I suppose to do?"

"Go and ask him why he did this stupid thing and also get me his number!"

"Ok. Send me the name and I will handle the rest!"

"Zynah, you are a blessing! Love you."

"I love you too. Don't worry we will handle this. InshaAllah."

"InshaAllah."

"Then what happened?" Afzal asked.

Noor looked at Zynah and she nodded her head.

"So when Noor sent me the name I searched up for it's address and went to meet him."

Zynah looked around,"Wow." She was mesmerised by the beauty of the building. After looking around for a while She went to the elevator. It took her more than a minute  to reach the seventeenth floor because of many stoppages. Once the elevator opened at the seventeenth floor she came out and went to the reception.

"Hello, Ma'am. How can I help you?" Asked the receptionist.

"Hi. I want to meet Mr. Ibaad Ismail."

"I'm sorry ma'am you cannot meet him now."

"Why?"

"Sir in busy."

"Ok."

Zynah was disappointed. She turned around to leave when she saw Ibaad standing in the hallway. She turned to the receptionist and raised an eyebrow. The receptionist frowned thinking why Zynah was giving her that look. Zynah turned again and started walking​towards Ibaad.

"Salam." Zynah said not looking at him to show him that she was angry.

"Walekum assalam?" Ibaad said with an eyebrow up.

"What are you doing?" Zynah asked

"Who are you?"

Zynah's eyes become wide before She looked at him,"Zynah."

"Who Zynah?"

Her eyes became more wide,"Noor's friend! We met that day in the coffee shop!"

"Oh."

"Oh? Anyway, what you are doing is wrong and we won't let you do whatever you want! Noor wants to talk to you. So I need your number."

"Give me her number I will call her."

"No! She will call you. I don't want to give you her number."

Ibaad frowned,"even If she calls me I will get her number."

"But I still won't give you her number."

"You are weird."

Zynah looked at him again,"As if you are acting normal!"

Ibaad shook his head,"save my number."

Zynah pulled out her phone from her bag. She didn't save his number and directly sent it to Noor on WhatsApp. As soon as Ibaad was done Zynah left the office. Ibaad frowned at her weirdness but then went back to his cabin. After sending her message she called Noor. Noor did not reply to the call so Zynah called her again and this time after few rings Noor answered the call.

"Done. Check your WhatsApp."

"Love you, Zynah."

Noor disconnected the call and checked her WhatsApp immediately. Then without wasting a second she called​ Ibaad. She was very angry and wanted to kill him at that moment but she controlled herself. After few rings Ibaad answered her call.

"What the hell are you doing!?"
