"What are you two doing here?"

Zyva turned around and saw Sufyaan standing in the hallway which made her tears start flowing. Sufyaan frowned before asking,"Zyva what happened?"

"Why are they taking decision of our lives?" Zyva asked crying.

Sufyaan looked at her and frowned in concern.

Zynah hugged her sister and Zyva continued crying.

"Baji please stop crying." Zynah said.

"Zyva,You were strong through out this drama and now you are giving up? Don't lose hope Zyva. Allah is with us." Sufyaan said.

Zyva looked at him and wiped her tears. She broke the hug and came forward before asking," What if.."

"Zyva it is not the time for what ifs. We are now at the last level. You can do this. Just stay strong."

Zyva did not say anything and just kept looking him.

"Zyva , you trust me?" Sufyaan asked.

Zyva slowly shook her head in a no and Sufyaan smiled.

"That's good."

Zyva instantly smiled before wiping her tears.

"What are you doing here?" Zyva asked.

"I came here with Hadee and his mom. I understood this meeting is related to me so I was waiting outside. I was standing alone from past one hour so I thought of checking if everything is fine or not."

"Yes, they are discussing us."

"Then I should leave before your family starts beating me."

"Hey, our family is not like that!" Zynah said.

Sufyaan and Zyva smiled at her and she crossed her arms.

"Now I will go. Tell Hadee to come fast."

"Ok."

Sufyaan turned around and left. Zynah came forward and placed her hand on Zyva's shoulder before saying,

"Baji let's go up."

Then Zyva and Zynah came in Zyva's room. Zyva was sitting on the bed and Zynah was sitting on the rocking chair. They both were lost in their thoughts. Zyva was thinking about her cousin and his mom for few minutes but that gave her a headache so she started thinking about Sufyaan but then suddenly she started thinking about all the stupid things he did like confessing his feelings to her and giving her a heart attack and then coming and talking to her father. She closed her eyes before saying,

"I don't like Sufyaans! They both are headaches!"

Zynah smiled before saying,"Unfortunately one of them is written for you."

"I want to kill them and myself."

"Killing yourself is understandable but why them?"

"Our great cousin because that way I will be able to release all my anger and Sufyaan because from past few days whenever I thought about myself he was there. He is now a part of me." Zyva said looking down.

"Baji don't be sad please because I really don't have energy to leave this chair and come there."

Zyva smiled before looking at her sister. Zynah winked at her before smiling.

"Baji tell me how did you even fall for him? His name is Sufyaan! That should have kept you away from him."

"Name was the main reason. I was always comparing the two Sufyaans. I was like, look at him he is such a sweet guy,he is so loving, he is so caring ,he is so understanding and what not. While comparing them I didn't realise when I started liking him."

"Aw! You two are so cute! Ya Allah please take away my future husband but bring them together."

" Aw Zynah! Come here, I want to hug you."

"I don't have energy."

"Even I don't have energy. Tomorrow InshaAllah."

Zynah smiled before saying,

"Good night."

***

"Problem!" Zynah exclaimed.

"What happened?" Kehara asked.

"Qailah Baji's bangles are missing!"

"What!?" Haajar exclaimed.

"Ya Allah! Where did it go?" Zyva asked.

"Her Nikha is in three hours! Ya Allah!" Kehara exclaimed.

"Now?" Noor asked.

"Everyone stop getting ready and start searching!" Kehara ordered.

"Kehara​, you please sit down, we will work." Zyva said.

"One Aman is enough Zyva! I'm fine. Search!" Kehara shouted.

"Why is she shouting?" Haajar asked.

"I have heard girls become scary and moody during pregnancy."Noor said.

"I'm scared of this Kehara."Zynah said.

"Girls work!" Kehara again shouted.

without wasting a second everyone started searching the bangles. After five minutes Noor found it in Qailah's bag. After Qailah was ready others started getting ready. In few hours Qailah will get married and the house is just like a market. Some people were running from one corner to another in search of their things and few were shouting and the girls were busy getting ready. Soon after Magrib they all left for the wedding hall.

Qailah was in a room with all the girls and everyone else were in the hall. Soon imam came and asked Qailah for her permission. Once she said Qabool hai imam went to the groom and asked his permission. As soon as he said Qabool hai everyone started congratulating each other. After fifteen minutes all the girls brought Qailah in the hall and Now she was on the stage with her husband. Others were talking, taking pictures and eating.

Noor was very excited about the baby and was only talking about how she will take care of her niece or nephew. In thrity minutes everyone knew she was going to become Phuphu. Kehara was very happy as well and she was talking continuously on some or the other topic. Zynah and Haajar were together ,planning how to convince Valiqa. Zyva was sitting in one corner and looking at smiling Qailah. She loves her cousin a lot and wants best for her but now she cannot help but feel jealous. Jealous because she got married to someone of her choice,jealous because her family is very supportive but most of all jealous because she will always have Sufyaan in her life.

Qailah's husband said something in her ear and she smiled widely which made Zyva smile. She turned to her right and saw Sufyaan talking to his father.She smiled again and looked up to see the sky. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Some times forgetting your worries helps you to relax.

Zyva was so lost in her thoughts that she did not notice someone was looking at her from past few minutes. Abbas turned his face to Sufyaan and then again looked at his daughter. He saw Rahemat standing with his cousin and started walking towards them. Once he was standing next to him he said,

"Rahemat I want to talk to you."

***

The wedding hall was on the seventh floor of a building. It was a big open terrace. Sufyaan was standing in one far corner to avoid people. He was thinking about the two months he spend in India trying to convince Zyva's family. He will leave tomorrow afternoon and still there are no signs of her family saying a yes. Today when Qailah's husband said Qabool hai he lost all his hopes. For some reason again he was feeling negative. He was missing his mom a lot today. He wants to keep his head on her lap and sleep. He wants to hear her voice. He wants to touch her. But he was feeling helpless.

"What are you thinking?" Someone asked.

Sufyaan looked to his right and saw Abbas standing there. He came and stood next to Sufyaan but kept looking towards the sky. Sufyaan, after looking towards him for some time looked at sky as well.

"Nothing."

"When are you going back?" Abbas asked.

"InshaAllah tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh."

"I'm sorry." Sufyaan said.

Abbas frowned before asking,"Why?"

"To irritate you,to confuse you,to make you fight with your family.For causing tension between you and Zyva and for anything else that happpened."

Abbas smiled,"And for giving us a heart attack."

"Oh yes and for giving you all a heart attack."

Abbas smiled again before asking,"You must be thinking I'm a very evil man with no heart?"

"No." Sufyaan said shaking his head.

"No?"

"No."

"Then?"

"I think you are a very caring father who wants best for his daugther. Which is a very good thing. "

"You really think like that?"

"Yes." Sufyaan said nodding his head.

"Ok. You want to know what I think about you?" Abbas asked.

"No."

"Why?"

"I cannot really listen bad things about myself."

Abbas smiled again before saying,"It was nice to know you Sufyaan."

"Really?" Sufyaan asked finally looking at him.

"Yes."Abbas said nodding.

"Wow. Ok."

"Sufyaan be honest. What will you do next if I say no?"

"Nothing. I will go back."

"Nothing else?"

Sufyaan turned to face him before asking,"You want me to run away with your daughter?"

Abbas raised his eyebrows before shaking his head,"You are too direct and bold."

"Ok." Sufyaan said smiling slightly.

"Zyva is not just my daugther but one of my main reason to live. Her face is enough to make me feel better. Her smile changes my mood. She can calm me down when I'm angry. She is my biggest treasure. How can I trust someone I don't know and someone who will take her away?"

Sufyaan looked up at the sky again before saying,"I understand sir. You are right in your position."

"You are not upset or angry at me?"

"No. I understand you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

They were quiet for few minutes after that. Sufyaan was trying his best to control his tears and Abbas was lost in his thoughts. Sufyaan started convincing himself that Zyva is not meant for him.

"Sufyaan,I love my daughther a lot. And I can do anything for her."

"That's really good. You are a good father."

"All my life I have never felt there was something missing in my life, except one thing."

"What is that?"

"A son. I don't know how it feels to be a father of a boy."

"Oh."

"Will you give me the opportunity to feel that."

Sufyaan turned to Abbas and Abbas smiled.

"I don't think anyone deserves my daughter but you are the best option."

Sufyaan did not say anything and just kept looking at him. Abbas finally looked at him before saying," I'm not going to give you dowry."

"Who asked you for that? All I want is Zyva and nothing else."

"Good. Because you will get nothing else"

"Wait I also want one thing." Sufyaan said.

Abbas raised his left eyebrow before asking,"What?"

"Ammi."

"No! You only get one lady of my life."

"Sharing is caring."

Abbas shook his head before saying,"I will never understand you."

"It's ok."

Abbas shook his head again and Sufyaan smiled.

"Your family?" Sufyaan asked.

"I will handle them."

"Ok."

They were again quiet for some time. Sufyaan was continuously saying Alhumdulillah and Abbas was smiling.

"Can I talk to Zyva?" Sufyaan asked after few minutes.

Abbas looked at him again before raising his left eyebrow.

"Someone will be there with us."

Abbas did not say anything and just kept staring him. After few more seconds he said,

"Just five minutes."

"JazakAllahu Khairan." Sufyaan said before he started walking.

"Wait. Don't you want to fix your engagement date?"

***

"Baji here." Zynah said indicating Zyva to stop.

"Zynah what happened? Why did you bring me here?"

"Sufyaan bhai wants to meet you."

"Which Sufyaan?"

"GSB."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"He is going tomorrow. Maybe he wants to talk for the vey last time."

"Aw Baji." Zynah said before giving her a hug.

Zyva hugged her back before closing her eyes.

"I will miss this bond." Sufyaan said.

Zyva and Zynah turned to face him. Sufyaan smiled but Zyva just kept staring him.

"What happened?" Sufyaan asked.

"Thank you for coming here. You tried your best but maybe we are not made for each other."

"Zyva."

"Wait! Let me finish. I really appreciate your efforts. I never thought someone will do so much for me. Thank you sir. I will pray that Allah blesses you with a beautiful wife and life. Always stay happy. Thank you again."Zyva said before forcing a smile.

Sufyaan stared her for few seconds before asking,"You will call me Sir even after we get married?"

Zyva and Zynah frowned before looking at each other.

"What do you mean?" Zyva asked.

"Answer me first."

"I never thought about it."

"Ok. You cannot call me sir after we get married."

"Great our family made a businessman, a mad man."Zynah said.

"Sir what are you talking about!?" Zyva demanded an answer.

"Your father is ready for our marriage."

Zyva's eyes became wide and she froze​. Zynah gasped and covered her mouth.

"Really?" Zynah asked.

Sufyaan nodded his head slowly.

"Alhumdulillah." Zynah said closing her eyes.

"Zyva?"

Zyva was still stocked. It was difficult for her to believe it.She wanted to hear that from past many months. She wanted this to happen but when it happened she was unable to react. After some more time she closed her eyes and covered her face with her hands before she started crying. Zynah hugged her sister again and Zyva cried more. Sufyaan who was strong from the starting had water in the corner of his eyes. He turned around to hide his tears before wiping it. Zyva cried for five more minutes before she calmed down. She slowly looked up at him before asking,

"You are not joking, right?"

"Zyva you think I will joke about this?"

Zyva shook her head slowly,

"Then?"

"Allah." Zyva said before tears again made their way to her eyes.

"Don't start crying again Zyva." Sufyaan said.

"You are anyways going tomorrow."

Sufyaan shook his head before saying,

"No, We are getting engaged tomorrow."
