Mr. Khan was cleaning his bookshelf when someone knocked the door. Noor opened the door and after opening the door started searching for her father. He was standing in one corner cleaning a book. When no one said anything for almost a minute Mr. Khan turned around to see who opened the door. He instantly looked away when he saw Noor. That broke Noor's heart. She hesitated for some time before walking to him.

"Dad."

As expected​ Mr. Khan did not reply. Noor knew it won't be easy but still it was hurting her. Noor looked at him with hope, waiting for him to scold.

"I'm leaving." Noor said after some time with tears in her eyes.

Mr. Khan stopped his hand. He frowned to stop his anger and tears. "Ok. Have a safe journey." He said after some time.

That was it, Noor started crying. For a girl her father is her everything, her superhero,her best friend,her supporter, her first love.... everything. It kills them when their dads are upset with ​them.

Noor was crying hysterically now, trying to make minimum noise. After few minutes Mr. Khan finally kept his book down and turned around to hug his daughter which made Noor cry harder.

"Shhh. Enough."

Noor tried to say sorry but it was difficult for her to stop crying and say something. She kept crying for a long time and Mr. Khan kept trying to stop her but stopping someone from crying was not his cup of tea.

"Noor."

"So....rry."

"Stop crying."

Mr. Khan let her go and made her sit on the chair.

"Wipe your tears, come on."

Noor wiped her tears as instructed. "You want water?"

Noor shook her in a no.

"Why are you crying?"

"Because you are upset." Noor said after some time.

"I'm not."

Noor nodded ."Dad I did Istikhara and then I said yes. It's not an immature decision like you think. Trust me I have thought about it."

"Ok ok don't cry please​."

Noor wiped her tears again. Mr. Khan stood up and took the water bottle from the table before giving it to her.

"No." Noor said.

"Drink it."

Noor didn't want to argue with her father so she quietly drank some water. Then she closed the bottle and returned it to him. He kept the bottle aside.

"Look Noor I'm just worried. I don't want you to get hurt that's it." Noor looked down,"Noor look." Mr. Khan cleared his throat,"I just want best for you."

"I know. I know dad. And I need you. Just because I decided to give this marriage a chance does not mean I'm leaving you. I need you dad. I will always need you. Even if I get the best husband in this world I will still need you. Because husbands can never take dad's place. You will always be my favourite. I love you and I'm going to miss you."

"I love you ,too darling." Mr. Khan said as a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Noor!" Aman called.

Noor looked down at her wrist watch before looking up again,"it's time to go." She said with tears in her eyes again.

"You won't forget me will you?"

"Only when you give up eggs."

"Ok so never."

Noor giggled making her father laugh.

"Come let's go." Mr. Khan said.

"Call me daily. We will video chat twice. And you will come and meet me once a week."

"Once a week?"

"Once in two weeks? I'm not going to settle for less!"

Mr. Khan laughed,"as you wish madam."

"And you will...."

Noor continued telling her father her demands. No one will fulfill your each and everyone, silly and genuine, big and small demands except your father.

Zeeshan splashed water on his face three times before closing the tap. He took the towel and wiped his face. Then he opened the door of the washroom.

"Wait a second Mister."

Zeeshan looked up. Sufyaan raised an eyebrow before crossing his arms.

"Yes?"

"My introduction is not so important so let's not beat around the bush and come to the main topic."

"Which is?" Zeeshan asked.

"Look Mr. Zeeshan Mehmood Malik. I know everything about you. Your past, present and future if you create problem!" Zeeshan narrowed his eyes trying to understand what Sufyaan wanted to say. "Aman is a very nice cousin. He won't be harsh on you but remember I have no connection with you. I will not spare you if you do anything to Noor." Zeeshan raised an eyebrow."she is my baby sister so you better be good to her. I won't hesitate to do anything! Keep that in mind. I think this is enough for now. Remember what I said."

Sufyaan turned around and left. Zeeshan came out of the washroom and closed the door.

"How can I expect peace with Noor."

***

"Noor, now listen to me very carefully." Mehrunisa said. Noor nodded her head.

Mehrunisa wanted to talk about something with Noor so now they are in her room for their little discussion.

"Don't expect much. I repeat don't expect much. I know every new bride expects a lot but that's where you fall. Just like how you are going to be rude sometimes and make mistakes even Zeeshan will do that. Don't think he is an angel, perfect in everything. He is a normal human who makes mistakes. You are new to him. He has no experience of living with a girl. And for a really long time he was away from his mother. He won't understand your sensitivity. He will find it difficult to share his life with someone. So give him some time. Give yourself some time. It will take years to build a strong relationship but you need to work on it daily. Be patient."

"I will, InshaAllah. Thanks."

"I have a lot to say but I think it's enough for now."

"Ok."

" I'm always here​ for you. Just because now you are married does not mean you lose us. We will always stand with you. Whenever you have a problem we are just a call away."

"I know."

"I'm going to miss you so much."

Noor hugged her. "I will miss you too Ammi. You are the best mother on this earth. Jazaki Allahu khairan for always being there for me."

"Wa iyaki."

"We will be late if we don't leave now." Noor said.

"Yeah come let's go."

They came back in the living room where everyone was waiting for them. Naaz was very happy. Last time she was so happy when Zeeshan was born. She had many plans and she was excited for this new phase of her life. She wants to be happy this time and she also plans to keep everyone around her happy.

"Now let's go." Naaz said.

"Take care of my Noor." Dadajaan said to Zeeshan.

He smiled and nodded his head. Noor went to her brother and hugged him. They soon started walking about something. Naaz went to her brother who was upset and mad at her.

"Ali I promise I will take care of Noor. I won't let Zeeshan hurt her. She is my daughter and you know how much I love her."

Mr. Khan did not say anything nor did he look at her. "Ali?"

"Ok." He said finally.

"Thank you."

Naaz looked at mehrunisa and smiled. Mehrunisa smiled back and squeezed her hand. Then she turned around.

"Let's go."  She said again.

Noor hugged everyone and made them promise to call her daily. Then she picked up her bag and they left to start a new life.

"This is your room?" Noor asked looking around.

"Yeah. What's​ wrong?" Zeeshan asked.

"Nothing. It's weird."

"Why?" Zeeshan frowned.

"I don't know. It looks...." Noor again looked around in the room. "Dull."

"Hmm."

Zeeshan opened his bag and started unpacking. Noor walked to the wardrobe and opened it. She raised an eyebrow,"Zeeshan."

"Yes?"

"Where am I suppose to keep my stuff?"

Zeeshan turned around and went towards the wardrobe. He thought for some time before saying,"there is another wardrobe in your old room."

"So I'm suppose to keep my stuff there!?"

"Listen to me first. We will keep all the daily use things here and all the things which we use rarely will go there."

"That's a good idea." Noor thought for some time." Ok let's do that."

"Give me some time I will make space here till then you can go and keep your rarely used stuff there." Zeeshan suggested.

"Ok."

Zeeshan started to make space for Noor and Noor started working on her stuff. Zeeshan thought for some time and soon he decided what all he was going to move to the guest room. After fifteen minutes he was done so he turned to Noor.

"I'm done."

"Ok." Noor said.

Zeeshan frowned,"what happened?"

"I don't know what all to keep in the guest room and what to keep here. All my stuff are important and for daily use."

Zeeshan raised his left eyebrow. He looked at her two big bags,"all this stuff is for daily use?"

"Yes!"

"How is that possible? I'm sure you only use few of them frequently!"

"Yeah but it's difficult to decide."

Zeeshan frowned again,"I don't know what you are saying. I have to make few calls so you decide what you are going to do and I will leave."

"Bye."

Zeeshan left the room and Noor started thinking again. Soon after deciding which are the important things she will need daily, she started to keep her clothes in the wardrobe. After thirty minutes she was done with her room so she went to the guest room to keep her rarely used stuff. She was very happy to find her missing earring in the guest room which was her favourite.

She was busy arranging her clothes when she realised she was still wearing her scarf. She was confused as well as nervous about removing it. But she decided to forget about it for now and work. After another ​thirty minutes she was finally done. She kept her bag in her room and went to the living room to watch TV. Zeeshan was already there so she decided to postpone watching TV for a while.

"I'm so tired." She said sitting on the chair.

She rubbed her face before looking at Zeeshan. His facial expression said he was tensed.

"What's wrong?"

Zeeshan shook his head in a no,"nothing."

"Liar. What happened Zeeshan?"

"Work related stress."

"Your patient is not well?"

"No, it's not about that."

"Then?"

"Management."

"Management!?" Noor asked in a shocked tone.

"What happened?" Zeeshan finally looked up and asked.

"No, nothing. I never thought that hospital management will have problem."

"It's just like a normal business for them."

"I can help with that! What is the problem?"

"I don't like my hospital manager."

Noor nodded her head,"Ok, I cannot do anything about that."

"I know."

"Where is Phuphu?" Noor asked after a minute of silence.

"She went to meet Anbreen Baji."

"You know I always found it weird. She doesn't like anyone in your dad's family expect Anbreen Baji. Why so?"

"Even I think it's weird. But i guess she is close to her because she didn't have kids for many years."

"Yeah that could be the reason."

"Hmm."

Noor unlocked her phone and went online on WhatsApp. Haajar and Zynah were talking in their WhatsApp group.

"No, I want chocolate ice cream." - Zynah.

"Baji we only have vanilla ice cream." - Haajar.

"Bring nutella with it." - Zynah.

"Ok."- Haajar.

"You both live in the same house -_-."- Noor.

"But screaming is so down market." - Zynah.

"Maya sarabhai."- Zyva.

"Honoured."- Zynah.

"Noor where are you?" - Kehara.

"Home." - Noor.

"How is unpacking going?"- Zyva.

"Alhumdulillah done with that." - Noor.

"Wow you are fast."- Zynah.

"Fast? It took me almost an hour." - Noor.

"Zynah takes few days so it's fast for her." - Zyva.

"That's exaggeration." - Zynah.

"No. It's 100% true." - Zyva.

"What's for dinner ladies?" - Yamina.

"Zyva Baji please get lost!" - Zynah.

"We had daal and rice."- Zyva.

"Who is sick?" - Noor.

"Pasta." - Kehara.

"Not always sick people eat Daal and Rice, Noor." - Zyva.

"I don't even eat it when I'm sick!" - Noor.

"We have pulses for dinner."- Zynah.

"I love pulses!" - Kehara.

"Noor what about you? I need ideas! I have still not prepared dinner." - Yamina.

"Wow Yamina I thought only Haajar is slow. Where is she? How long does it take to come to my room from our kitchen?". - Zynah.

"You lazy lady! Poor Haajar is her slave now." - Zyva.

"Why are you so jealous?" - Zynah.

"Ya Allah I just realised​ we have nothing for dinner!" - Noor.

"Then go and make something." - Kehara.

"But I'm so tired!" - Noor.

"Order then."  - Zynah.

" I will talk to you all later. I need to think what to do. Bye!" - Noor.

Noor looked up from her phone and saw Zeeshan frowning at his phone screen.

"What happened?" Noor asked.

"Wildan. He is worried for Urfi."

"What happened to her?"

"No idea but she is behaving weird."

"Weird? Like how?"

"I don't remember that. But she is just not her usual self."

"It must be Exams​." Noor said.

"I thought the same but Wildan says he is sure it's not Exams​."

"Oh. Then?" Noor thought for some time before saying,"boyfriend problem?"

"I don't think she is a boyfriend type."

"Then?"

"I don't know but Wildan is really worried now."

"I will go and talk to her tomorrow."

Zeeshan looked up at her,"you will?"

"Yeah. As I'm not working anymore I have nothing to do."

"Ok. I will drop you while going for work tomorrow."

"No. I will go by myself." Noor said.

"But your fear?"

"It will go with time. I'm going to live here now so it's better to work on it. It will be difficult first few times but then I will get use to it."

"Are you sure?"

Noor nodded her head,"yes."

"Ok."

"So it's decided I will go and help Urfi!"
