Sensing that there was no room for any further arguments they had to agree nonetheless.

The nikkah took place in baran khans room in the witness of ufaqs uncles.
Saying the three words of acceptance was real hard for them both.
For mansha this all was confusing,she was definitely marrying a man she loved but the circumstance were unfavourable,she clearly had no idea about Ufaqs feelings for her,she had already troubled his life so much that she further did not want to burden his soul with herself but she was helpless in this matter.To top it all off the words of Mr Rehman were ringing in her ears confusing her even more,was this even a marriage ,a commitment or just a show for a refuge???
Tears rushed down her cheaks and in seconds ufaqs grandma engulfed her in a tight hug..

Ufaq on the other hand was dead silent,this was all being done in compulsion, he was intructed by his boss to marry his daughter and keep distance because he will ofcourse have to leave her once they are out of this mess and this all shit was building up rage in his heart.
All his life he had stayed away from girls only to marry the one who loves him by all her heart,he had to keep himslef clean for his future wife to be loyal and sincere to her,losing his family so young he always wanted to be a man of family but fate has its own plannings maybe.
Ofcourse in all this while he had some very soft feelings for mansha,he was hell scared when she was kidnapped and prayed for her health never leaving her side in the hospital but still he was mature enough to understand that mansha could never be his,she was definitely out of his league,their class and status were different,he was just a mere employ of her father.
Plus he knew mansha would never have feelings for him ever and all this compromise and such a sacred relation that they had just gotten into wont last long....

They both were alotted the guest room upstairs which had stair access directly from the garden.the room was pretty small but very clean with an attached toilet.
Thankfully it had a double bed and a single bed inside not making their sleeping arrangements awkward.
plus a beautiful view of the snow clad mountains.

Ufaqs head was throbbing with pain,he was sprawled on the floor resting his back against the bed,massaging his temples while mansha was locked up in the toilet,crying quite loudly which was audible to ufaqs ears but he was ignoring it.

They were both clad in their dresses from last night except mansha was given a dupata (scarf or veil) by dadi ( grandma) at the time of nikkah.

Ufaq had brought in his little handy bag that he hastely packed while going to get mansha with just one dress and some toiletries and he also brought in the bag of mansha that he found laying beside her in the atic where the kidnappers had kept her captive,it had her mobile phone, a dress and some essential things in it.

One of ufaqs cousin brought dinner for them and a jug of water to keep in the room.

"Dada (grandpa) has sent in the food."
Informing him,he left.

The smell of food had increased ufaqs hunger,getting up he knocked on the toilet door.

"Mansha,please come out,dinner is here."
And the next instant she was out with puffy red eyes due to excessive crying and the dupata still wrapped around her making her look so innocent.

"I dont feel like eating."sitting on the bed she denied eating anything..

"You only had soup in the noon and its quite late now,just eat alittle bit,after all you do need energy to cry also."
Smiling for her sake he brought the tray and placed it in front of her.

"Come on eat,dont worry all will be fine,we will soon be out of here with sir and maam"
Giving her assurity he stated.

"I am sorry,you got into this mess because of me."
She started sobbing again making his heart clench..

"Its all fates plan mansha,dont blame yourself and stop crying please,my heads throbbing with pain,just dont trouble me more and eat please."
Forwarding his hand he wiped away her tears with his thumb but mansha took hold of his hand and brought t to her lips kissing it making him shocked..

"I am sorry! "
She stated leaving his hand the next instant and started eating small bites of food for his sake only..

"No more sorry's ,okay mansha.."

"Okay!"

After having eaten,mansha handed him a painkiller she had kept in her hand bag for his headache.

"Thanks,you are a saviour"
Taking it from her he gulped it down with water.

"You should better sleep,the docter said you were awake last night the whole time."
Mansha said worried about his health.

"Yeah,tum bhi sojao ( you sleep also.)
You clearly need rest mansha."
Gesturing towards the double bed he instructed her and made himself comfortable on the single bed placed at a little distance from her bed .

As soon as ufaq hit the pillow he instantly slept but mansha kept tossing and turning around,pondering over the events that took place today..
She felt like crying again but controlled herself to not disturb ufaq.
She was falling hard for him but was clueless of what was in his heart. He wiped away her tears ,did not accuse her,he was an angel,the best guy mansha ever met,did she even deserve him...

Dwelled in her thoughts ,when sleep overtook her she never knew,
She woke up the next morning by the sound of adhan.it was so soothing to her soul.
Making ablution she prayed and prayed to God to give her ufaq fully,
She had decided in her heart,she will make Ufaq fall for her and if he does when ever start to like her ever ,then she will never leave him,she will convince dad and make this marriage work..
But the only question that was disturbing her was,what if ufaq has someone in his life or simply not like her ever in his life????
