Soon after Sufyaan and Rahemat came in the house after their little talk in the garden, guests started coming. Around eight Qailah's in-laws arrived. Sufyaan being Sufyaan the first thing he did on their arrival was to ask as many questions as possible to Qailah's  poor fiancé. Sufyaan loves his cousins a lot and wants them to be happy and safe as much as he wants Kehara to be happy and safe. Hadee tried to calm Sufyaan down but it was useless and Soon Qailah's poor fiancé was planning to run away. 

Then Hadee pulled Sufyaan away from their soon to be brother-in-law, before he decides to drop the idea of getting married. He took him to where Rahemat was standing with his ​nieces and Haajar.

"What happened?" Rahemat asked frowning.

"He almost killed your fiancé Qailah." Hadee said.

"I knew he would do something like that.Kehara had warned me." Qailah said before rolling her eyes.

"I just want my sisters to be safe." Sufyaan said.

"I wish we had a brother."Zynah said.

"Yesterday Kehara Baji told me that Aman Bhaijaan was very sad because Sufyaan bhai Will never come to know what it is to have a brother- in- law."Haajar said smiling.

"You didn't even spare your best friend?" Hadee asked.

"My sister is more important." Sufyaan said.

"Growing up I never felt the need of a brother but now I wish we had one."Zyva said.

Sufyaan looked at her and raised his eyebrows which made her heart run fast. she immediately looked away to hide her blush. Haajar giggled and Sufyaan looked at her before smiling.

"Mamujaan why are you here? You should go and talk to people of your age." Hadee said.

"Excuse me? Are you jealous because even in my 50's I'm famous with girls and on the other hand you are nothing?" Rahemat asked.

Haajar again started giggling and others were smiling. Rahemat smiled at Haajar and then his eyes fell on his nephew Sufyaan.

"Sufyaan I think you should go and talk to our family members."Rahemat said to Sufyaan.

"Yes, you should. Just go and talk to them."Qailah said.

"And that will be enough for you to impress them."Haajar said smiling.

Sufyaan smiled at his baby cousin and Haajar smiled back.

"Haajar even I'm your cousin and you are always fangirling him." Hadee complained.

"Hadee bhai he needs to impress but in your case all you need to do is smile and the girl and her family are in." Haajar said.

"You are a very sweet girl." Sufyaan said.

"And he is jealous." Hadee said.

"And they want to get married."Qailah said making everyone smile.

"I don't want to get married." Hadee said.

"Yeah, just waiting for someone to come from Mumbai."Zynah said.

"From Mumbai?" Sufyaan asked frowning, "Who?"

"Who lives in Mumbai Sufyaan bhai?" Qailah asked smiling.

"Qailah shut up." Hadee said.

"Maira?" Sufyaan asked frowning.

"Yes!"Zynah excalimed.

"Our uncle's step daughter?" Haajar asked.

"Yes, but we don't consider her as his step daugther. She is part of our family as much as we all are." Sufyaan explained.

"Yeah. She is our cousin and my future Sister-in-law." Qailah said.

"Qailah! It's nothing like that." Hadee said.

"Then what is it?" Rahemat asked.

"It was just a childhood crush Mamujaan. Her parents got married when I was fourteen and she was ten.She was new in the family and I was new in the world of love. My friends use to talk about their crush and stuff.That's it. I have not seen her from past three to four years."Hadee said.

"Aww. You still feel the same?" Haajar asked.

"No!" Hadee excalimed.

"He is lying!"Zynah exclaimed.

"Yes,he is."Zyva teased.

"I don't even remember why I told you girls about her." Hadee said looking away.

"You never told us about her."Zyva said.

"Then how on earth you all know?" Hadee asked frowning.

"Someone had a bad habit of reading diaries." Qailah said looking at Zynah.

"Zynah you read my Diary!?" Hadee exclaimed.

"Hey, I was just eight."Zynah said in her defense.

"And still evil."Hadee said.

"Uff kids just stop."Rahemat said.

"Now you feel lucky for not having children."Qailah asked.

"Yes actually. Now Hadee take Sufyaan to our family and Sufyaan just be yourself. Zyva,Zynah and Haajar help your aunt. And Qailah come with me."

Everyone followed Rahemat's instructions and Soon he was alone with Qailah. They started walking before Qailah asked,

"You felt bad when I said, Now you feel happy for not having children?"

"Of course not Qilah.I know you were joking."

"I should have not said that. I'm sorry."

Rahemat placed his hand on Qailah's shoulder before saying,"Qailah it's ok. You don't have to be sorry."

"You are fine?"

Rahemat smiled before saying,"Of course."

***

"Hadee, really Maira?" Sufyaan asked.

"What's wrong in Maira?"

Sufyaan smiled before shaking his head,"All I meant to ask was, You really like her or not. You don't have to be protective."

"I'm not protective."

"Oh then possessive?" Sufyaan asked smiling.

"Enough Sufyaan."

"I know what you are feeling.She is a good girl."

"I don't love her!It was just a small crush years ago."

"Are you 100% sure?" Sufyaan asked.

Hadee thought for a second before saying,"I don't have to lie to you.As I said she was new and cute, so yeah she was my first crush. But then we hardly met.When she use to come here coincidentally I was not in the city!Every time! Like seriously How can this happen for five years! And When I went to Mumbai she was at her grandparents house! So I don't know how I feel now.Maybe when I will see her again then I will realise what it is."

"All I have to say is get ready to die.You cannot think about my sister and be alive at the same time." 

"Sufyaan I'm your brother."

"And she is my sister.My sisters come first."Sufyaan said smiling.

"You are an idiot!" 

"Shut up and introduce me to everyone." Sufyaan said.

Hade started introducing Sufyaan to all his family members. Soon they all strated talking. Sufyaan was talking to Zyva's uncles and cousins about Business. They were having a good conversation when Cousin Sufyaan came. 

"Salam everyone."Cousin Sufyaan said.

"Walekum assalam."Everyone replied.

They all continued talking for ten more minutes and then one by one everyone went to meet other guests and Hadee was left alone with his two cousins.

"Qailah's in-laws are really good." Cousin Sufyaan said.

"Alhumdulillah they are." Hadee said.

"MashaAllah our Qailah is very lucky." Sufyaan said smiling.

"You are really weird."Cousin Sufyaan said.

"What do you mean?" Sufyaan asked.

"As you just said our Qailah and I have noticed this many times, you says such things about all your female cousins."

"I'm unable to understand." Sufyaan said frowning.

"I mean you are not their mahram but still you refer them as yours. That's weird. It can make others doubt your intentions."

"I always refer them as my sisters! They are my cousins and they are not my mahram,I know that. But for me they are my sisters. In our family no one has a problem. Even Hadee talks like that, it's just because of you and people who think like you, why he never talks like that when he is with you all."

"Sufyaan whatever you meant just keep your thoughts to yourself." Hadee said angrily.

"Calm down bro. I just said that because maybe Qailah's in-laws or her fiancé might not like it."

Before Sufyaan or Hadee could reply Qailah's Fiancé turned around to face them before saying,

"I'm sorry for interrupting but I overheard what he just said and I don't mind. Once Qailah was talking about her family and she told me how Sufyaan is protective and possessive about all the girls in the family because for him all the girls are his sisters and he wants to protect them. Even you were there Hadee remember? I don't doubt your intentions bro. I'm actually happy that Qailah have a cousin like you and I'm really impressed. Now I want to be like you." He completed the sentence with a smile. 

Sufyaan stared him for few seconds before leaving the room. Hadee smiled at Qailah's fiancé before saying,"Thank you. He is angry at present so please excuse him.

"You're welcome. And no problem at all."He said smiling.

Then Hadee excused himself and left the room to search Sufyaan. He knows Sufyaan was right but he also knows that Sufyaan can do anything when he is angry. He needs to find him before he does something that will create a problem for him. 

When Sufyaan left the room Rahemat saw him. He understood immediately that something was wrong so he followed Sufyaan. Sufyaan went to the balcony on that floor.

"What happened?" Rahemat asked frowning.

Sufyaan understood who was standing behind him but did not turn around. He was very angry and he knows how uncontrollable he can be when he is angry. So he was avoiding talking to Rahemat. But he cannot even keep quiet and be rude so he  narrated him the whole story.

"How dare he? How can he doubt my intentions?They are my sisters!"

"Sufyaan calm down. In life you will meet many people who will doubt your intentions. You lost your mind because it was him."

Sufyaan finally turned around and stared him for few seconds before saying,"You are right.  But I will get mad at anyone who will doubt my intentions about my sisters! How can he even think that? I never thought people can do this."

"It's ok Sufyaan."

"No, it's not. If he thinks that way there might be many people in your family who think the same way. I'm not going to change myself and at least not my way of treating my sisters."

"Not even for Zyva?"

Rahemat and Sufyaan turned around and saw Abbas standing there. Abbas started walking and stopped few inches away from them.

"Answer me." Abbas said.

"No, sir. I love her but that does not mean I will change myself untill and unless it's for good. I'm not going to change the way I think or the way I treat my family for anyone else. Being in loves does not mean becoming their slave. I don't expect this from her as well. It would be better if you all accept me the way I am because I'm not going to change." Sufyaan said.

All this while he had his head high up. He does not think treating his cousins like his sisters is wrong. And when he thinks something is right he never changes his way of thinking.

"But changing the way you behave or think might win you Zyva."Abbas said.

"I don't want to win Zyva losing myself."

"Mamujaan he is a very nice human being." Hadee said coming towards them. " He will keep her happy. Please trust me."

"Please excuse me." Sufyaan said before leaving the balcony.

He started walking towards his grandmothers room. His Nani was not feeling well so some time ago she went to her room. He slowly opened the door and saw his Nani sleeping. After looking at her for few seconds he closed the door and started walking towards the living room.

He was walking towards the room when he heard something which caught his attention. He started walking towards the sound and stopped outside a room which was a house Library of his uncle. He saw Zyva's cousin Sufyaan standing there with a cigarette in his hand. He raised his eyebrows before shaking his head. He turned around and was about to leave when he saw Zyva's grandma standing there.

"Sufyaan!" Suddenly Zyva's grandma shouted.

Cousin Sufyaan turned to her and immediately threw his cigarette out of the window. Dadijaan pressed the button and the wheelchair started moving ahead. She was soon standing in front of him and he was looking down.

"What was that!? I thought you are my most religious and nice grandson."

As Dadijaan was shouting, Rahemat,Abbas and Hadee heard her and came running to the room.

"Ammi what happened?" Rahemat asked.

"My favourite son was smoking cigarette. He threw it down when he saw me."

Everyone looked at cousin Sufyaan who was still looking down.

"Sufyaan how much more you will fall in my eyes." Rahemat said.

"Mamujaan this was the very first time I ever touched it." Cousin Sufyaan said.

Hadee and Sufyaan rolled their eyes and Abbas was about to say something when they all​ heard Zyva screaming.Everyone started running towards the window to see what happened. Sufyaan and Abbas were the first ones to reach the window but everyone followed them and saw Zyva in the garden and her dress had caught fire from the bottom. They all started running downstairs. Sufyaan, Hadee and cousin Sufyaan reached before others.After few seconds of thinking Sufyaan ran inside the house and others were trying to stop the fire from water and many more things but nothing was Working. Gulfisha was shouting Zyva's name and was again and again going towards Zyva but others were stopping her so that she don't hurt herself. Qailah was holding Zynah so that she don't run to her sister. Abbas,Rahemat and Hadee were standing near her trying their best to save her. Abbas pulled her towards him but Zyva push him so that he don't hurt himself. Soon Sufyaan came running with a blanket in his hand. He ran to Rahemat and gave him the blanket. Rahemat took it and ran to Zyva. He covered her with it and used it to stop the fire.Sufyaan and Hadee ran to her and used the blanket and their hands to stop the fire. Soon the fire was gone but Zyva was still crying. Sufyaan and Hadee stood up and everyone came towards her. Gulfisha instantly hugged her and Zyva cried more.

"Zyva are you fine?" Abbas asked.

Zyva did not reply and just kept crying.

"Zyva he is asking something!" Sufyaan excalimed angrily.

"I'm fine." Zyva immediately said looking at Sufyaan.

"Let's take her inside." Dadijaan said.

They all brought Zyva inside and made her sit on the couch. Zynah and Gulfisha sat next to her and Qailah sat on the floor in front of her holding her hands.

"Baji you are fine?" Zynah asked.

Zyva nodded her head slowly. Her eyes then fell on her father who was standing near her with a worried frown on his face.

"I'm fine." Zyva said looking at him.

Zyva started looking around but Sufyaan was no where to be found. After some time he came in the room with a glass of water in his hand. He started walking towards her.  Looking at him Zyva started crying again. He frowned before giving her the glass. Zyva's hand was shaking while taking the glass which made Sufyaan more angry.

"What had happened Zyva? How did your dress catch fire?" Hadee asked who was sweating. He ended up hurting his two fingers while saving Zyva.

"I don't know. I was standing near the tress and suddenly​ Zynah screamed, telling me that the dress was on fire." Zyva's eyes then fell on his hand and her eyes became wide," Ya Allah bhai your fingers"

"It's fine don't worry."

"Sufyaan!" Rahemat said loudly.

"He didn't do anything." Haajar said quickly.

"I'm taking about my nephew. He threw his cigarette down from the window on the first floor."

"Rahemat my son doesn't smoke!" Sufyaan's mom protested.

"I saw him smoking. Rahemat is right. It's because of him." Dadijaan said.

"Sufyaan what are they talking about!?"

"Ammi listen to me."

"Ya Allah they are right! Ya Allah!"

"Ammi listen."

"Sufyaan we are leaving. In the car now!"

Cousin Sufyaan nodded before turning to Zyva

"I'm sorry Zyva."

"Zyva darling I'm so sorry." Sufyaan's mother said.

Then they both left the room. Luckily Qailah's in-laws had already left so they didn't see the drama. Sufyaan was standing in one corner, looking at her the whole time. After some time all left except for Zyva and her family and Sufyaan and his cousins.

"Tell him I'm fine." Zyva said to Qailah.

Qailah nodded before standing up. She went to Sufyaan and smiled.

"Bhai she is fine."

"I know." Sufyaan said before nodding.

Sufyaan's phone started ringing,so he pulled the phone out of his pocket and answered the call without looking at the screen.

"Sufyaan!" Valiqa said before the called disconnected.

Sufyaan frowned and finally looked at his phone screen. He called her back but no one answered. He then thought of messaging her  but found out that she had already messaged him. Her message scared him.

"Sufyaan help! Come home fast!"

Sufyaan started running outside the house. Everyone started shouting his names but he did not stop. He went to his car and started driving. He was driving as fast as he could. All he was able to think was the possible things that could have happened. He was worried for his aunt and thinking about the possibilities did not help him calm down. After ten minutes he reached the house. Using his keys Sufyaan opened the door and went inside.

"Khalajaan!" Sufyaan shouted.

He turned around to see if she was outside when Someone said.

"Sufyaan."

Sufyaan turned around and his eyes became wide. He never expected this to happen. In this situation he wanted more support not more problems. He closed his eyes before saying,

"Allah."
