"What nonsense are you talking Maya! They love me!" I argued.

"It's just that, your dadi for example she is only relying on Sanam or Mrs Khan to help her and Mrs and Mr Khan always ask Sanam for help instead of you!"Maya said and I had to admit that she was right.

"But that's normal, dadi knows Sanam more than me, so she trusts Sanam a bit more than me."

"So you mean that she doesn't trust you." Maya said and left the room.I couldn't manage to doubt about her, maybe she was right. After all, I had always known that it wouldn't be easy for me to fit in this family..But was it possible that I was this different from them that..No, I couldn't believe it.

Sanam's pov.

I saw Maya leaving Seher's and mine room smirking and I knew that something was wrong. Seher was crying holding a picture.

"Seher? Is everything okay?" I asked and she just nodded her head no.

"I was just crying because of my adoptive parents. I miss them alot..That's all." She said and I walked to her and I hugged her.

"Do you want to call your governess?" I asked and she nodded before picking the phone to call her governess.

She called her and invited her for her wedding. I frowned as I heard Seher calling her ammi. I wasn't able to accept the fact that before us, Seher had a life. She had been showered with mother care..

"Seher, Sanam, please come to eat." Ammi said from outside and I helped Seher getting up before we left to eat. Rehaan and Shaad were also here. I was between Seher and Ammi. Ammi was sitting next to Asya and she was facing Abbu. I was facing Shaad while Seher was facing Rehaan and dadi was facing Asya.

"So Shaad, I didn't have the chance to talk to you properly as I was a bit sick lately. How have you been?" Ammi asked.

"I'm okay Mrs Khan. Ammi will soon join you to finalize the nikkah." He said and I gulped. I didn't want to marry him..Not any more. The more I thought about him, the more I felt that what I was doing was wrong.I loved Aahil so much that I wouldn't be able to marry someone else but him. Ammi gripped my hand tightly and smiled reassuringly.That was it. I needed to talk to Shaad.

After the dinner, I dragged Shaad to the garden to talk to him.

"Shaad, I know that you're an amazing man. You have been very kind with me but I can't do this. We can't go on with this wedding because I.. I'll never be able to love you. I won't love you Shaad." I said as my eyes watered. "I won't love you because I'm head over heels for someone else, for Aahil Raza Ibrahim.

No one's POV.

While Shaad was happy that Sanam called off the engagement, Maya was fuming with anger. She had decided that instead of Shaad dragging Sanam out of her nikkah to drug her and make everyone believe that they slept together (like her mother did before), she would find another way to hurt both Sanam and Seher equally.

Next day, Khan Villa.

Everyone was rushing here and there to prepare Seher's mehendi ceremonial.Seher was full of happiness. Next day she would be Seher Qureishi.She was so happy! Sanam on the other hand was happy for her sister and she was confident that Aahil would tag along with Rehaan so they would be able to discuss about their problems.

"Ma' look the lehenga I've bought for Seher!" Sanam said as she showed her mother beautiful green and red lehenga choli.

"Wow Sanam! That's absolutely beautiful!" Zoya exclaimed showing her dimpled smile to her daughter.

"Miss Khan, can you please leave the room, I need to talk with your mother." Asad said a bit too stern for the thing he was going to'say' to his wife.

"Yes, jaan?" Zoya asked while Asad locked the door.

"You are so preoccupied with Seher's wedding that I didn't even get my morning make out session today." He said and started to kiss her.Zoya gasped and he slid his tongue in her hot mouth. Zoya smiled into the kiss and tugged at his hair, earning a moan from her Mr Khan.

"Ya Allah! That's so disgusting!" Asad opened his eyes and looked at his wife before turning around and he saw Ayaan along with Nikhat and Nuzrat standing out the window.

"Ayaan Ahmed Khan!" Said Nikhat while she faked her anger.

"Why did you stop them? Bhaijaan was so into kissing his wife that he didn't even noticed Maheer throwing a ball in the room." Nuzrat joked and Asad, who was still trying not to kill them rolled his eyes and Zoya laughed at him.

"Caught red-handed?" She said and Asad glared at her.

"1..."Ayaan and Khan sisters stopped laughing on hearing Asad's voice."2..." He smirked at Zoya.

"3!"He shouted and turned around but Ayaan and his sisters where nowhere to be seen.

He knew that they would go away so he sat on the bed and Zoya sat on his lap, then they went back into devouring each other's mouth. Asad smiled into this kiss, savouring her taste as if they hadn't kissed in ages.

"Ammi!"Asya shouted banging on the door.

"Mr Khan.." Zoya whispered while her forehead was against his.

"Mrs Khan.." He whispered back.

"You're addicted by me aren't you?" She asked.

"That's an understatement Mrs Khan. I'm not addicted, I'm in love."

"Well that's for sure." She answered and left. She opened the door and her daughter and her nephews engulfed her into a hug. Nuzrat's twins were so cute! They even had their mother's dimples.

Zoya left her room, leaving her husband behind and she went to meet her brothers-in-law. When she walked into the living room, she saw Nikhat running after Ayaan with a pillow. She was going to stop the duo when she spotted Hayaa and her husband. She squealed and walked to her niece to hug her. It had been four months already and she was missing her little Hayaa daily.

"Ayaan stop joking about Nikhat!" Nuzrat said.

"Arrey Nu', it's not my fault if your sister is flirting around!" Ayaan said poking her sister's side. Nikhat finally threw the pillow at him and hit his head.

"You little fool! Stop talking nonsense." Nikhat shouted at Ayaan and he just giggled.

"Oh jaan! When will you come? Why are you taking all this time! I miss you Djamil!" Ayaan mocked imitating miserably Nikhat's voice.

"Ayaan beta, please stop teasing your sister!" Dilshad said.

"Ammi,I'm not teasing her! I'm just expressing how happy I am that she had finally found her soul mate!" Ayaan said and both Nikhat and Dilshad smiled at him.

Zoya looked at their daughters as they were catching up with Hayaa. She smiled and recalled her memories with Najma.

"Ammi!"Seher shouted and Zoya thought that she was talking to her but then her daughter ran towards the front door and engulfed a woman into a bone crashing hug. Zoya felt jealousy rushing through her veins as she saw Seher and that woman. She got out of the living room and went into the backyard. Maya noticed this and followed Zoya out in the garden.

"Mrs Khan?" She asked as if she cared. Zoya engulfed Maya into a hug.

"I know that before knowing that I was alive, Seher and Sanam had a life. But it's still difficult to realize that Seher had another mother before me. Someone she idolizes.. someone who took care of her." Zoya sobbed and Maya rolled her eyes.

She wiped Zoya's tears away.

"You know Mrs Khan, before you Seher used Priya as her hard rock to stay out of loneliness. She may be your daughter biologically, but she has a stronger bond with Priya and you just have to accept it." Maya said and Zoya nodded.

"You're right Maya." Sanam heard her mother say. 'What was this devilish woman saying to ammi?' Sanam thought as she saw her mother coming back inside with Maya.

Seher showed Priya around the house then they stopped in the garden.

"Saf, you seem tensed, what's wrong?" Priya asked.

"Ammi,do you think that my family loves me less than they love Sanam?"Seher asked.

"What's this now? How can you doubt their love for you? I just arrive but I can already see how your parents and grandmother love you Seher. You will never find someone who loves you more than these people inside this house.."

"But Maya said.."

"Maya! Maya! Everything seems to be true for you when she says so! Maya doesn't know what they have in their heart. She doesn't know what you have in your heart. These people are your own people. And I swear on my life that they love you." Priya said and hugged her.

"Let's go back inside. I didn't meet the amazing woman who gave birth to my little bundle of joy!" Priya said and kissed Seher's forehead then they go back into Khan Villa.

"Ammi,I wanted you to meet the only woman who I should also call ammi, Priya Mukherjee." Seher said and Priya gasped on seeing Zoya.

"It seems like I'm seeing two Seher!" She said and Zoya smiled at her comment and called Sanam.

"Actually,these two had the chance to have the beauty of their ammi!" Zoya exclaimed and hugged Priya.

"Thank you for what you did for Seher. Not every human being is gifted with so much love." She said, her jealousy completely forgotten.

"It wasn't only love. Never in my life I would leave someone who needs me.When Mr and Mrs Omarjee died in that car accident, I just wanted to protect Seher. Because in my mind it was impossible that she had been abandoned by her family so let's say that I just offered her a shelter, waiting for her family to come back." Priya caressed Seher's face lovingly. She was proud of her little Seher.

"Please be quiet now!" Nikhat shouted while the toddlers were running around shouting like fools.

Seher was led to her room by Zoya, Dilshad, Priya and Sheereen.

Dilshad kissed her forehead.

"Like I forced your parents to marry each other before I kill them, I'm happy to be a part of your happiness today, my dear. Look at how you're stunning! Life has been unfair with me because I lost my love but it got replaced by Sanam and Seher. I don't care about your parents any more, now I'm just living for my grandchildren's happiness." Dilshad said and Seher cried of happiness.

"Allah miyaan what's wrong with you? How can you make my daughter cry?"Zoya said engulfing Seher into a bone crashing hug. "I know that lately I wasn't present in your life because of my health..But I'll do everything possible to help you through your steps to nikkah. I'll do my best to act like a good mother to you Seher. Look, this is a necklace I had searched during years because it had yours and Sanam pictures on it. When your father gifted me this necklace, we vowed that we'll always fight for your happiness, we promised that we'll do anything to stop you from falling. And we'll keep this promise Seher." Zoya said and kissed her daughter's forehead. "I love you Miss Khan." She added and hugged her daughter tightly. Priya came near Seher and put  some bangles around her wrist.

"I had bought you these for your wedding. I thought that I'd give you these today. I'm so proud of you! Look at how you've become! You were so sad of being alone and now you have a big family." She kissed Seher's forehead and Sheereen just stood there smiling.

"If I had known that you'll have these goddesses, I would have urged you into marrying Asad!" She exclaimed and all women in the room laughed.

Seher stared at her reflection and smiled. She was ready to be happy.

Zoya was sitting next to Seher and she was holding a stick with henna. She began drawing on her hand, throwing few glances at her children and husband lovingly. She thanked the Almighty that he gave her a chance to be there for at least one of her daughters' wedding. Asad was replaying the first time his Zoya was preparing for their nikah. Her first mehendi ceremonial. Even if they weren't aware of each other feelings back then.. their hearts knew them perfectly.. He stared at Sanam who was looking at Aahil lovingly. His heart ached to know that she had fallen in love with someone similar to him. But he knew deep inside that love conquers all, so he knew that Aahil could change for Sanam like he changed for Zoya.

"During the mehendi ceremonial, the name of the groom has to be hidden on the bride's hand and if he doesn't find it then he has to give you a gift!" Dilshad exclaimed and Asad led Rehaan outside to allow Zoya to write his name on Seher's hand.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Arrey bhai! Don't tell me that you can't find your name!" Aahil teased and Rehaan furrowed his brows.

"No I can't." He declared and the Khan's women squealed in delight.

"Japan."Seher said.

"Same wishes.." Dilshad expressed giggling as she remembered that Zoya wanted Asad to bring her to Paris.

"You want us to go to Japan?" Rehaan asked and Seher nodded. Zoya smiled at their cuteness.

After the mehendi ceremonial, Zoya went to rest as she was too exhausted.Seher was resting with her mother along with Asya and Sanam. The way Sanam was holding her hand so protectively warmed Priya's heart as she saw them. They were the perfect family.

"My wife has always loved to sleep with our children. When Sanam and Seher were toddlers, she used to sneak into their room then she would take them in our room. I remember the day before they turned two, she had cried herself to sleep because our babies were getting older. I don't know what we would do without Seher and Sanam." Asad said behind Priya and Priya smiled before leaving the little family. Asad walked to Seher and kissed her forehead.

"You don't know how hard it will be for me to share you with someone else my little princess. Tomorrow you'll be Rehaan's wife, tomorrow you'll stop being only my princess but you'll also be the queen of Rehaan.You have to know that daddy loved you first." He said then smiled before going to sit on the couch and he looked at his family sleeping peacefully.

Dilshad wasn't able to sleep during the whole night, thinking about her Zoya.She knew that she had to do something. She looked at her photo with Rashid, Asad and Najma and smiled sadly.

Her choice was made. She picked the photo of Zoya, Sanam and Seher where her granddaughters were barely two weeks old and she prayed to the Almighty to give her the strength to do what she wanted to do. She was sure about it, she couldn't live when her beautiful bahu had to die.

"Ya Allah, I had already seen so much! I saw my children growing up, I saw my grandchildren growing up..I can't live knowing that my beautiful Zoya won't get this chance! Ya Allah today itself, I'm choosing to give my heart to Zoya when she will need it." She said.

Shaad was looking over his Sanam. She was almost five months pregnant now,and she was also fighting for her life. It seemed like it was yesterday when the doctors told her that she had a stomach cancer but she refused the surgery as she was already three months pregnant and there was a risk of miscarriage. During this period, instead of supporting her, he drank alcohol, cheated on her and did awful things. He got back to his senses when, a day, she fainted in his arms due to her disease then he promised to her that he will support her daily.

"Shaad."He heard Sanam saying. "Shaad, I want to go back home now. I don't want to stay in this hospital." She announced for the millionth time.

"I'm sorry Sanam, but I won't let you! You need to stay here for me, for Armaan." He said referring to their unborn son.

"Please Shaad."

"No Sanam! Now sleep. Please." He kissed her knuckles as she was drifting to sleep. He did all of this to protect her, he even helped Maya into killing Zoya just to protect his beloved wife but he had enough. Soon or later, Maya's world would come to an end.

Next day.

Seher was being dressed by her mother and aunts. Humeira came near Seher and she kissed her forehead.

"Arrey Zoya Junior! You're so gorgeous!" She said and Zoya exclaimed.

"Zoya Asad Ahmed Khan can do everything! I managed to do a beautiful girl."

"We were two when we conceive this baby Zoya.." Asad said entering the room.

"Mr Khan I.." She began but he cut her off.

"Here's you wedding gift Seher." Asad said and kissed her daughter in the cheek. Seher smiled when she saw the music box which was playing the mitwa song.

Seher smiled. Her happiness knew no restrictions.

"Thank you abbu." Seher said as she caressed the music box.

Sanam was looking outside for Aahil who had sent her a message earlier when she felt a sharp pain on her head and she collapsed on the ground.Behind her stood Shaad. He looked at her apologising silently before he put her on the back seat of his car and drove off with an unconscious Rehaan and Sanam.

Aahil on the other hand entered the Khan's house stressed. He found Asad next to Seher's room and he walked to him.

"Mr Khan? Did Rehaan arrive already?" He asked and Asad nodded his head no.

"Why didn't he come with you?" Asad asked.

"I got a call and I had to go to the company before coming to the wedding so he said he was coming first and I..Where did he go?" Aahil said and he tried to call Rehaan but he didn't pick up. Aahil got frustated while Asad too began to get worried.

He took a look in the room and saw Seher who was ready to leave the room.

Seher had a shy smile plastered on her face when she got out of the room with her mothers and aunts.

Sanam woke up a bit dizzy and felt that she was bare. She looked at herself and saw that her lehenga was two feet away from her. She was shocked. She looked around herself and saw Rehaan next to her, he was also undressed! She dressed herself.

"Rehaan!Please wake up Rehaan! Rehaan!" She shouted sobbing and he woke up.

"Sanam?What's wrong? What's happening?" He asked a bit disoriented.

"I don't know! I was waiting for Aahil on the backyard to talk to him then, nothing! I don't remember Rehaan! I just woke up and we were both naked!"

Seher was fuming with anger! No one was able to control her.

"How can he leave me on our nikah!? How can he be capable of this?" She screamed.

"Please Sweetie calm down.." Zoya said trying to pacify her daughter but Seher didn't want to listen. When Seher was going to tell something,Rehaan and Sanam entered the house.

"Where were you Rehaan? And Sanam why are you with him?" Aahil asked. Seher saw Sanam's state and Rehaan's state also. She look at them disgusted.

"Please Aahil let us explain..Seher that's not.." Sanam stopped talking as Seher slapped her right on this same cheek Aahil slapped her few months ago. Zoya gasped and Asad looked at the scene, powerless. All the Khan family was stupefied with Seher's move.

"Seher please let her explain first!" Asad finally said.

"Let her explain first? How can she explain that my husband-to-be had his suhag raat with her? You disgust me Sanam! I don't even consider you as my sister any more! And you! Rehaan Qureishi! Don't come near me any more!" Seher shouted at them and tossed her engagement ring at Rehaan before throwing a lucky charm bracelet Sanam had gifted her right into Sanam's face. "Today itself, I'm breaking all the ties with Khan family and particularly you, Sanam Ahmed Khan." Seher whispered with a sob. She grabbed Priya's hand and entered her room.Then she collapsed in her arms.

"How can she be capable of this ammi? How? My own twin sister?" Seher wiped her tears away and packed her things, leaving the music box behind.

"Wait Seher." Dilshad walked to her as Seher stopped. "Will you punish all the family for an error when we don't even know the truth?" Dilshad asked.

"The proofs are in front of you Dilshad, maybe you need glasses." Seher said nonchalantly.

"Seher!!"Asad shouted at his daughter, raising his hand in the air, ready to slap her. "Don't even talk to your grandmother like this." He said and Seher just rolled her eyes.

"I know that you're angry but please don't talk like this to badi ammi,nor abbu!" Sanam replied.

"Here she is! The perfect daughter! You always act so nice, while Seher is always the bad one! Bas! I am done now! Allah hafiz." Seher said before leaving.

"Seher!"Zoya shouted. "Seher! Please Seher!" She sobbed as her heart felt as if it was breaking into tiny pieces.

"Seher! Please come back baby!" Zoya shouted and she lost it, she fainted on Nikhat's arms.

"Ammi!"
