Third person's POV.
"How dare you both? How can you do this?" Mr Tufail yelled angrily looking at both of them who were also shocked on his words and then looked at each other.

"Baba its not true." He said taking a step toward his father while closing the buttons of his shirt.

"Don't. You're not my son anymore." He shouted and Yusuf looked at his father shocked.

"Ama listen this is not true. I don't know how i came in Yusuf's room. But there's nothing you all are thinking." She came forward explaining herself.

But her mother reached her and slapped on her face harder. Once, twice and countless slaps she received from her mother. She was shocked that why no one was believing her. She was sleeping in her own room last night when her cousin sister Fariha who was sharing her room offered her to sleep in her room as she had some work. She followed her in sleep and slept on her bed. Then how she reached in his room.

"You shamless girl.  After doing the sin you're saying you didn't do anything. You've disgraced me in front of all." Her mother said slapping her for the last time and pushed her on ground.

Yususf looked at her who fell down on ground. Her dupatta fell from her shoulder, her hair spread around her face and her face swollen due to countless slaps. His heart pained. He moved toward her and held her from shoulders and made her stand and placed her dupatta on her head who was crying with hiccups.  He turned to his father with red eyes.

"You've to trust us. We did nothing wrong. I don't know how we came up together in this room but I swear there's nothing like that. We did no sin." He said holding his tears.

"Stop your drama Yusuf. After sleeping with her, committing a sin like Zina is nothing for you. How can you do this to me." Fariha came forward crying.

"Shut up. She's as pure as was before. And I will never do such act which is forbidden for us. I will never cross my limits." He said looking at her angrily.

"Baba please believe us. We didn't commit any sin. I dont know how we ended up in the same room on the same bed but..." He was saying but his father took a step toward him and slapped him on his face.

"Not a single word Yusuf. Zubair go and bring the Qazi." His father said and left from there looking at him hatefuly.

He fell back on the ground on his knees. Words lost for him as he knew whatever he say no one was going to believe him. No one was going to believe them. He turned his head toward her who was also seated on ground crying badly with hiccups mumblibg the words "We didn't do anything." His own eyes filled up with water on this grief.  On this distrust of his family. He felt all alone. As if he lost everyting. He looked at the person standing on the entrance of the room. She had an evil smile touchibg her lips. Taking few steps closer to him, she leaned till his face while he looked at her angrily, hatefully.

"This is the reward of rejecting me dear cousin and slapping me. You've called my love a lust and compared me to that orphan. And see I've showed you as a lusty person in front of your family. And your this poor cousin helped me a lot. Her innocence killed her but you both deserve that.  You've insulted me. Didn't accept me so here the punishment.  You'll burn in this fire of disbelieve of your own family and that will give me relieve, a peace to see hate in your father's eyes for you." Said Fariha and moved back.

He looked at her with hatred and then his eyes moved toward her who wss still crying. He got up from his place and walked to her. Holding her from her shoulders, he made her stand up and took the hold of her hand and walked out of the room. Dragging with him, she still had no control on her tears. She became characterless in front of all. In front of her mother. She couldn't explain what she felt that time. The hate in her mother's eyes was killing her. Why no one was believing her. They reached in the main hall of the huge Haweli where his father and his mother, her mother and sister were waiting for them. Fariha with her mother was also there waiting for the punishment, his father was going to announce.

Yusuf.

"Baba listen to me. You know me. You know Sakeena. We can't do like this. Please believe us." He tried for the last time to convince his father to make him believe but he turned to other side showing his back to him.

"I know you and that's why I'm shocked on your act. This was not our upbringing Yusuf. Anyways get ready. Its your and Sakeena's Nikah in few minutes and after that you both can go away from here. From our lives." His father said and he got shocked.

"But Baba listen." He tried to say but his father turned to him, showed him his angered eyes.

"I've said what was necessary.  Get ready for the Nikah." His father left from there while he felt defeated as his eyes fall on Fariha who was smirling evilly.

"Ama listen please. Believe me. I don't know how we ended up in the same room, in that condition but we didn't do anything.  I'm telling the truth." Sakeena said holding her mother from shoulders with tears flowing down her eyes.

"There's nothing to listen Sakeena. You've left no place for me in the world now. Accept what bhai sahib has choose for you both." Saying, her mother left from there while she fell down on the ground crying.

No one listen to their words and announced the punishment for both of them.  They become motionless, senseless as if they didn't exist in the world around. Their tears dried in their eyes. Nothing was going to effect on them now as their own family had broken their hearts and their souls.  The Nikah was done. Their lives, names were tied with each other now but both felt empty inside. Yusuf looked up at his father and brother and walked to his room to take his important things. Taking his few important papers, he walked out of the room and looked at her who was standing in the hall waiting for him. Both of them were silent on their places. He stood in front of her who was now his only companion of this life. A tear was about to slip from her eye but he shook his head as no.

"Not a tear for them now." He said wiping her tear and took her bag in his one hand and her hand in his other hand.

His all family was there looking at them for the last time with hatred in their eyes while both of them took steps far from them. He turned to see his father, his mother, sister, brother Chachi and Sakeena's mother, his phuphu.

"We'll live under this burden of blame which you've all put on us. But you'll live under the guilt of blaming us for the sin we didn't commit. You'll regret your words, your acts. But there won't be any forgiveness for any of you. We won't forget and forgive what you've done to us." He said looking at his father and left from there holding her hand in his.

Both stepped out of this Haweli.  Her tears were once again rolling down on her cheek. Covering herself with black shawl around her shoulders, she was trying to match his steps who was walking lost in his thoughts. Walking on the road for the last fifteen minutes, he stopped and turned to her who was shedding tears. Sighing, he went closer to her and kept looking at her few seconds.

"Where should we go? What you want?" He asked looking at her who looked up at him on his question.

But she didn't reply and kept looking at him with silent tears rushing out of her eyes. Looking at her for few seconds, he held her hand in his and turned to walk ahead. Taking a taxi he took seat next to her who was still busy in crying. The taxi kept going on and both were seated silent on their places, lost in their own thoughts. The taxi stopped outside the railway station and both stepped out. She was still busy in sobbing, didn't look up. Holding her hand again, he dragged her with him. Going inside the railway station, he took a bench to sit with her and sighed looking at this railway station which had few of passengers passing here and there maybe waiting for their train. He turned to see her who was wiping her face with her shawl but her tears were rushing out of her eyes again.  They were seated silent and his mind was thinking something.

"Where should we go now?" Looking at the empty tracks, he asked her who turned to him still sobbing.

"Yusuf." He looked at her on her call.

"Take me anywhere but far from these people, this region. I never want to see them again. A place where they never could find us." She said still shedding tears.

"They could never find us." He said assuring her and went to the ticket counter after thinking something.

He came back after a while with tickets in his hands. Sitting again next to her, he didn't say anything neither she asked.  Both kept seated there waiting for the train. An hour passed and the sound of train could be heard now. He stood up and went to the nearby canteen to brought something for her. Taking a bottle of water and some biscuits, he walked back to her who was seated still looking down at her hands. 

"The train is coming." He said and she stood up while he took the bag in his hand and went near the platform.

As the train arrived, he checked for his seat numbers and went inside the train holding her hand in his. Both took seat together silently and waited for the train to move. Passing the bottle of water to her, he turned to her who held the bottle and drank water from it. Both didn't eat anything since morning but it seems like their appetite had gone away. Their hearts were filled with grief and sorrow but still for her, he got up and went down the train to bring something for her which could fill her stomach. He took the burgers from a burger shop and went back in the train where she was waiting for him.

"Where have you gone?" As he took seat next to her, she asked worried.

"Here eat this.  You must be hungry." Giving the burger to her, he said but she shook her head as no.

"Come on. Have this. We can't fight with our life empty stomach." He said and she took it but didn't eat.

The train started to move and he looked out at the station for the last time maybe tried to hide his tears from her. This train was going to take them far from them who broke their hearts and souls. Wiping the tears, he looked away and rested his head to the seat and closed his eyes.

Sakeena.

The train was going on and the day turn to the night. The moon was shinning on the sky and both of them seated lost in their thoughts. The tears dried in their eyes but heart had burden which was so heavy that they couldn't felt a second of relieve.  Her eyes turned to him who had his eyes closed. The voice of train, the voices around and the strang faces of people seated and laying next to them made her scared and she slowly held his cuff of the shirt sleeve. Her eyes closed down and head went on his shoulder who was her companion in this long journey of life.

Yusuf.

He opened his eyes and looked at her who was sleeping peacefully placing her head on his shoulder. A new sun raised and the new ways were waiting for them. 

"Sakeena." He called her who moved on his voice and looked up at him.

Both of their eyes met and she immediately moved back from his shoulder, felt embarrassed and placed her dupatta on her head.

"You want to eat something?" He asked but she shook her head as no.

But he got up and was thinking to bting something to eat from the train canteen but she held his cuff and looked at him scared.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"I'm just coming. Don't be scared." Amazed on her hold on his cuff, he said and went ahead.

After few minutes, he returned with  two cups of tea and some bread in his hands. Passing her a cup of tea, he took seat again and looked at the passing views.  Both silently had their breakfast and waited for the destination to come. His mind went back to that night when he returned from a get to gather of his friends and the next morning, he lost everything.

48 hours ago.
"Looking so handsome." As he was getting ready to meet his friends who had arranged a little get to gather on his reurn from abroad, Fariha entered his room and ran her finger on his shoulder.

"Leave me alone." Closing the buttons of his cuffs, he said looking at her in the mirror.

"Why so much attitude huh! You know you've to come to me. After all I'm your fiance and I'm waiting for you since years." Standing in front of him, she said and ran her finger on his buttons.

"Stop this rubbish. I'm not going to marry you. I've told my Ama g." He said pushing her hands away from his shirt but she smiled and moved much closer and closed her eyes to inhale his fragrance.

"Your father had took this decision of our marriage and i know you can't say no to him." She said and paused while wrapping her arms around his shoulder moving much closer.

"I missed you so much. How badly I want you Yusuf." She said closing her eyes, snuggling her face in his neck and as her lips touched his neck, he pushed her back and slapped her harder on her face.

"Thank God i didn't made a mistake in recognizing you. Shame on you. No one can force me to marry you because I never want it." He said angrily looking at her who was shocked on the  slap she received.

"Yusuf." At the same time, Sakeena entered the room calling him.

"Yes." Bringing a smile to his lips, he turned to her.

"Your mother is calling you." She said and looked at Fariha who turned to other side and left from there.

"You get out of my room now." He said while taking his coat to wear.

"You'll regret this." She snarled going in front of him.

"Shut up and leave.  What maybe Sakeena thinking. What if Ama g get to know that you were in my room." He said pushing her away.

"Is Sakeena more important? I'm your fiance and you just slapped me for the desires I've for you." Going in front of him, she said angrily.

"She's way better than you. You're so ugly from inside." Pushing her back, he said and left from there while she looked at the empty room angrily and wiped her tears and left from there.

After meeting up with his mother and hugging his father and taking their blessings, he left from there to meet his friends. His smile burned someone's heart and his words rang in her ear burning her more in anger. Yusuf with his friends went to the city side to enjoy and some places to visit to roam around and then at night, at a restaurant for the dinner. He enjoyed a lot with his friends and when he returned home it was almost midnight.  Without making any voice, he walked to his room as he was much tired and wanted to sleep. As he entered his room he tried to turn on the lights but it didn't.  When the lights didn't turned on, he sighed and freed his feet from his shoes and took off his coat to throw it somewhere in the room and moved ahead toward his bed. With mobile's light, he pour a glass of water from the side table and drank it as usual as he had a habit of drinking water before going to sleep and lay down on his bed without looking anywhere and turned the light of his mobile off and closed his eyes to sleep.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

The train stopped bringing him out of his thoughts and he looked at her who was lost in thoughts. He felt chills running in his body and he looked out at the station where the tain had stopped. Their destination had arrived. Turning to her, he stood up and she looked up at him. 

"Come." He said moving ahead.

Both stepped out of the train and holding her hand in his while in other hand, he was holding the bag both walked out of the railway station. He looked around and soon hired a car and again the journey start toward the unknown destination. She was not aware where he  was taking her but it was enough that he was with her. There in this situation, the feeling of protection which his hand was providing her was beyond anything else. She felt safe, secure. The car kept goung while she was looking out at the unknown views passing by her side. Suddenly she felt cold and wrapped her shawl around her shoulders fully and looked around the area. The car now entered in the mountainous region. Car was passing with the mountain on this high roads where one side had cliffs and other sides the high mountains.

"Murree." She muttered looing at the city name on the board which had the words To Welcome the arrivals in this cold mountainous city.

"No one can find us ever." He said turning to her and she gave a nod with wet eyes.

The car stopped after a while and both stepped out of the car. After paying the bill, he entered an office. It was an office of housing agent.

"Mr Fazal." Asked Yusuf as he entered the office.

"Mr Yusuf I was waiting for you." Standing up with a smile, said Mr Fazal.

"I hope you've find a house for us." Said Yusuf while shaking hand with him.

"Ofcourse.  The house is waiting for you." Saying, Mr fazal took his car key with him and walked ahead while Sakeena and yusuf followed him.

After the drive of 20 to 30 minutes, the car stopped in front of small housing society and Mr Fazal took them to a small but beautiful house. Unlocking the door, they entered the house which was fully furnished. Sakeena walked ahead and sat on the sofa tired, lost, seneless while Yusuf paid the commission to the agent. As Mr fazal left from there, Yusuf locked the door and turned to her who was seated lost in her own thoughts. Sighing, he placed the luggage aside and walked to her. Taking seat next to her, he interlinked his both hands, lowered his head a little, let a sigh escaped his mouth as his own mind was tangled with the incident they were facing now.

"Sakeena." He called her who silently wiped her tears but didn't look at him  neither he turned to her.

Both were silent on their places maybe thinking what should they do next now.

"There're two rooms. Take one and have some rest." His voice rang again but she didn't move.

"Take rest Sakeena." He said once again and this time, she silently got up and walked to the left side room with her bag in her hands while he held his head in his hands.

Sakeena.

It had been 3 days that they have shifted to Murree. Living in the  same house, both were still silent like strangers. She was hidden all the day and night in her room. He has arranged all the important things needed for the life. Kitchen was filled with all the eating items. He had found a job at a grocery store too in these 3 days. For living, he had to move on. The weather of the Murree was different from the place they came. It was chilled and cold. Specially the nights were too cold. And the mornings were cooling with the beautiful sight of mountainous region. Clouds came whenever they feel to and it start raining.

Sakeena was still in shock. She was trying to solve this puzzle.  The puzzle of being in Yusus's  room. When she was sleeping in Fariha's  room. Her mind was paining. She was getting frustrated thinking about the same night again and again. A knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts and she turned to see him who enteted the room with two cups of tea. She stood up and placed her dupatta on her head. He looked at her who was still in the same dress simce 3 days. 

"Can we talk?" He asked and she gave a nod still looking down while he took seat on bed and placed her cup of tea on side table.

"Its been three days that we came here and you've locked yourself in the room. We can't live like this. We've to move on. You've to move on." He said who's tears once again started to flow down on her cheek.

"Sakeena come here." He said while she walked to him and sat next to him on bed.

"Why are you crying for those who doesn't exist for us now?" He asked turning to her little while she cried more while hiding her face in her palms.

"Sakeena this won't correct everything in our life. You've to be strong and have to move on." He said looking at her.

"I'm not understanding one thing." Crying, she said and looked at him.

"How i ended up in your room when i was sleeping with Fariha. And the next morning, we both in such inappropriate condition, together. I'm not understanding how?" Holding her head in her hands, she said crying.

"It was all done by Fariha.  How we don't know but it was done her by because she wanted revange from me but i didn't know that she'll do this." He said sighing.

"But I want you to come out of this trauma now. I want you to continue your studies. There are many collages nearby. I suggest you yo come out of this room now." He said while she couldn't say anything and he left from there without saying anything.

As he left, she fell back on the bed thinking again about that night which had took everything from her.

Flashback.

"Here your coffee." Said Fariha passing the cup of coffee to Sakeena and sat next to her with her cup of coffee.

"Thank you." Siping the coffee said Sakeena and looked down at her books where she was studying.

Fariha was looking at her time to time and in just few minutes, sakeena started to yawn as her eyes started to close down. Placing her books aside, she lay down on her bed to sleep and Fariha smiled looking at her.

"Sakeena are you sleeping?" She asked her who was almost in sleep because of those pills fariha added in her coffee.

"Hey come to my room. Its very hot here." Pulling Sakeena with her said Fariha.

"But Fariha.." She didn't let her complete and pulled her with her.

Due to the heavy eyes and mind full of sleep, she hardly could see the way. And here Fariha took the advantage of her condituon and entered Yusuf's room. Sakeena was not able to recognized the room as she was fully under the effect of the medicines, she had gulped down. As sakeena saw the bed, she fell on it and in seconds, doze off into a deep deep sleep. Fariha smiled evilly looking at her and then put some pills in the jug of water placed on the side table. Going to switch board, she damaged the switches so the lights couldn't turn on. Satisfied on her planning, she left from there and waited for yusuf to come now so that she could do what she wanted to. At midnight, he came and went to his room while Fariha was waiting for him to doze off into sleep. After few minutes, she entered his room smilingly and closed the door behind her. Turning on the torch she looked at yusuf who was laying on bed deeply in sleep because of the medicine filled in water he drank before going to sleep. 

"Its my turn now." Mumbling, Fariha moved ahead and looked at him with lust in her eyes but more of it there was the fire of revenge in her eyes.

Going closer to him, she opened his shirt buttons and took off his shirt. Her eyes roamed on him lustfully while she ran her fingers on his bare chest and leaned on his neck placing kisses from his neck to chest fully lost in him.

"This is for insulting me." Biting on his neck, she growled.

"You'll regret Mr Yusuf.  And you both will pay." Looking at him evilly, she moved toward her who was laying there senselessly.

"I'm sorry for pulling you in this but I've no choice.  I hate you both." Smiling evilly, she said looking at the sleepy figure of sakeena and then pulled her dupatta away.

Taking the lipstick out of the her hand, she painted her beautiful lips and smudge it with her thumb while going again to yusuf, she pushed him toward sakeena and made him turned toward her. Placing his hand on her stomach, she placed his head on her neck and stepped back. Looking at them for the last time, she left from there and now waited for the morning.

The next morning as the sun rise Fariha went crying to his Taya Mr Tufail who was Yusuf's father. Yusuf's parents got worried that why she was crying.

"Taya that yusuf and Sakeena." She stopped and cried again.

"How can he do this to me? He knew that i love him but still he did this." Crying said fariha while Yusuf's mother felt something bad going to happened.

"What happened?" Asked Mr Tufail didn't get what she wanted to say.

"Come I'll show you." She said turning and Mr abd Mrs Tufail followed her while Sakeena's mother who saw them going upstairs follwed them as well.

As Fariha opened the door, every eyes fell on them who were sleeping together. His face snuggled in her neck, his arm laying on her belly. Everything went exactly like Fariha planned.

"Yusuf." Roared Mr Tufail angrily but he didn't move as he was still deeply in sleep.

Mr tufail left from there while his wife went closer to wake her son up.

"Yusuf get up." Crying, she said and then put  a glass of water on his head to wake him up.

Mr tufail returned again in anger boiling in his veins while Sakeena's mother was shocked too to see her daughter in this condition.  On the noise Sakeena's eyes opened up and as it did she felt someone on her. Her eyes found yusuf so close to her. Pushing him back, she got up while his eyes opened up too because of the water and push he received. As he looked at her and himself his mind got shocked.

"What happened?" He questioned himself looking at her and then himself.

And them both faced the anger, hatred and disbdlievd of their families.  Both were kicked out and tied together for the sin they didn't  commit.

Yusuf.
It had been a week that he taked to her. Both were reserved on their places. He go for his work early in the morning and came in yhe evening fully exhausted.  But now he found her always on dinning table with him. That was a relieve for him that she was coming back to life.

"How was your day?" He asked her who was seated in front of him with her plate of meal in front of her.

"It was okay." She replied.

"Good." He answered while rubbing his hands as it was a little cold tonight.

The beginning of the winter brought the chills of cold. The sky remain filled with clouds and cold breeze could be felt in the atmosphere.  He looked at her who was trying to say something.

"Can I do a job?" She asked him.

"Why don't you study?" He asked her instead of answering her.

"I've no interest left in studies now. Can I do a job to keep myself busy?" She asked once again and he gave a nod.

"My friend is coming in just two days. He had a plan to open an academy for the students.  I thought to join there.  You can too join with me." His answer brught a relief to her nerve and first time her lips smiled a little.

"Its good that you've thought to come back to life." He said while getting up from the chair and walked to the little hall.

He turned the tv on while sending some messages to his friend when he got startled as a hand came forward with a cup of tea. Looking at her with a smile, he took the cup and moved ahead to give her place to sit. Hesitant, she took seat next to him and looked at the tv screen.

Both didn't sat anything but kept feeling the silences between them or thinking about their coming life. A life where they were going to live as friends, companions or more they didn't know but for now being with each other was enough for them. They were not alone. This thought was something giving some peace to their restless souls.

2 years later.
"Yusuf I'll take off today." While eating breakfast,  she said hurriedly.

"Why?" He asked taking tea out in the cup.

"Me and Rozena are going on for some shopping.  Its her wedding in 2 weeks you know and after that its Ramadan. So we're thinking to start shopping." Said Sakeena while looking down in her bag checking something.

It had been two years of that incident which had changed their lives but they learned to move on. To smile and live. They had choose a life for them and now they were satisfied with it. Both had joined the academy of Yusuf's friend Kamal. Kamal had business of schools over the province and now was giving time to the acadmies he had open in different cities and states. Here he had given all the responsibility of the this education acadmey to Yusuf who was his old friend. It was a good opportunity for Yusuf to stand on his feet. So he took all the responsibility of the acedmy and also Sakeena joined it too being a computer teacher there.  Both had maybe forgot their past or trying to but now were much better then before. Living in the same house as friends they were satisfied with each other and with their life. Rozena who had been working there with sakeena was actually Kamal's fiance and they were soon getting married. Sakeena and Rozena became good friends and now she was helping her in shopping of her wedding.

"Who will hadke computer section then?" Asked yusuf looking at her who was looking beautiful in yelow frock and black jacket on it while wrappibg a brown colour shawl around her shoulder, she looked at him.

"Please manage na. I'll come tomorrow." Forming a beautiful smile on her lips, she said while he smiled looking at her.

"Okay but only for today." He said while getting up.

"Wait wait." Running after him, she said holding her shoulder bag.

"Drop me too at Rozena's. Please." She said holding his arm.

"Come." Shaking his head with a smile,  he said and both walked out while locking the door.

Both were smiling, going together. His eyes roamed on her who was tugging her hair strand behind her ear while typing something on her mobile. He was happy to see her back in her life. The way he wanted to see her. Finally she was back to life. Forgetting everything else, every hurt every blame every relation they were just with each other and happy.

But still there was something their hearts had to felt. The tingle of love still had to knock their hearts. Or maybe it knocked but both were unaware of it.

The day passed with Sakeena in shopping and Yusuf in academy. It was 8 of the night when he enteted the  home but still found her not at home. Sighing, he went to change and freshen up.  As he came out of his room, he saw her entering the house exhausted. Passing a smile to him, she landed on a sofa with some shopping bags.

"So how was the shopping?" Asking her, he took seat next to her while turning on the tv.

"It was so much fun. But next time you'll come with me." She said placing the bags aside and taking a bag of food out.

"Spare me from this shopping thing." He said laughing.

"No you can't get yourself free from this. Its a husband's duty after all." She said all of sudden unintentionally.

As the words slipped her mouth, both of their hands and breaths stopped for a second creating an awkward silence between them. The relation they had between them, they actually never talked about it neither tried to force the other but maybe they had start thinking about it. Her word Husband brought a slight happiness to his heart.

"I...serve the food. You come." Avoiding to look at him, she said and stood up with the food packets she brought from market.

Both were not looking at each other and were busy in having the meal but their heart tingled thinking about the relation they had.  First time it happened that they were thinking about each other. Looking at each other once, both went to their rooms with beating heart.

"How stupid I'm." Slapping on her head, she said to herself and went to her bed to sleep with a smile.

The next week was busy for them as the exams of the students were going on and they were busy in academy from morning to evening. It was a fine morning and she was having her breakfast hurriedly as her computer classes were going to start early today. Sipping the tea, she looked at him who was coming out of his room still in his sleeping suit hair spread like he just got up from bed. His eyes still had the colour of sleep in them.

"You okay?" She asked him while passing him a cup of tea which he held and sat on the chair.

"I'm not. I think I'm having fever. My head is paining a lot." He said holding his head in his hands.

"Oh. Then you take rest. There's no need to come to academy today. I'll manage and kamal will be there too. You just take rest." She said and went to his side.

"Stand up." Holding his arm she made him stand up.

"But.." He tried to say.

"Not but. Get up and take rest." She said and walked with him toward his room.

Making him lay again, she went back in the kitchen and put some fruits snd glass of milk in a tray with medicine.  Going to his room again, she made him drink some milk and then she gave him medicine. Touching his forehead, she felt his fever as it burn her hand. 

"Yusuf don't try to come out of bed until i came back.  You take rest. I'll be back soon." She said placing blanket on him who gave a nod and closed his eyes.

Looking at him once, she left from there and went to academy but his thought was there on her mind all the day. She couldn't come soon as two more teachers were absent today and she was arranging all the classes today but her mind was going again and again on him who was not well. As the clock turned to 4 her heart ran fast as now she couldn't stay there any longer.

"Rozeena please take these last few classes. I have to go home. Yusuf is not well." She said holding her bag and shawl.

"Okay. You go. I'll manage." Said Rozena and Sakeena left from there in a hurry.

Her heart was beating hell.  She couldn't talk to him either since morning and now was hoping that he was fine.  But as she entered the house, she heard his voice whining. She ran hurriedly toward his room.

"Yusuf." She called him who was vommiting on the floor but his shirt, the blanket were also got dirty with his vomitting. It showed that how many times he had vomit. She got worried as she looked at his condition. His pale face, shivering body dry lips scared her. Throwing her shawl and bag on sofa, she ran to him and caressed his shoulders to give him some relief.

"You okay Yusuf?" She asked as she took the tissue and cleaned his face and made him lay back.

But he didn't replied as he wasn't able to speak. Taking her dupatta off of her, she threw it on the sofa and went to the wardrobe to take his shirt out. Placing his shirt on the chair, she went to him who had his eyes closed. Taking the blanket off of him, she threw it aside and then opened his shirt buttons.

"Yusuf you're listening me?" She called him who was maybe not in conscious.

"Yusuf." She called him again but got no answer from him.

"Ya Allah what to do now?" She got worried looking at his condition.

She went to other side and pulled the bedsheet toward her but it was under him which made her to stop.  Going to him again she hardly took off the bedsheet from under him that she start panting. Throwing the bedsheet aside, she went to him again. She took off his shirt from one arm but now how to remove it from other arm. Pulling him up toward her,  she made his head rest on her shoulder and she pulled his shirt away.

"God he's so heavy." She mumbled while putting him back on the bed.

Panting, she took few seconds and kept looking at him who was looking so pale. Cleaning his chest with a wet towel, she went to the wardrobe and took another blanket and spread it on him while she took all the dirty clothes and things and put them in the washing side. After that she cleaned the floor. After washing her hands, she went to him again who was burning in fever.

"Yusuf.  Yusuf." She called him again who was not in his conscious.

"What should I do?" She thought worriedly looking at Yusuf.

Taking her cell phone, she dialed Kamal's number and kept looking at Yusuf who was looking restless in his unconsciousness.

"Hello Kamal.  Yusuf is not well. Please bring the doctor at home."  She said getting worried as she took seat next to him and placed her hand on his forehead.

"Yusuf talk to me." Tapping on his face, she tried to bring him to his senses but he was unconscious burning in high fever.

After a while Kamal came with doctor and checked Yusuf. Prescribing some medicines and giving some injections to Yusuf, he left and so did Kamal as the  weather was not good. Sitting next to him on bed, she kept looking at Yusuf who was sleeping now peacefully. Hesitantly, she tugged her fingers in his hair and it gave strangle tingles to her heart. Running her fingers slowly in his hair, her lips smiled a little feeling strangly happy. At the same time, he turned to her side in his sleep making her heart to jump in her chest, hand to stop in his hair. He was so close to her that she felt sweat rising on her forehead even in this cold weather.  Her arm could feel his warm breath falling on it. Her eyes never averted from his face for once as her mind recalled all the time when he was there with her.

All the night passed and she kept looking at him thinking about their life the time they spent together since childhood. As the sun rise, Yusuf moved a little and tried to open his eyes. Sakeena sat up properly and looked at him worried. As he opened his eyes, her face touched his sight. Her worried face, eyes had the shine of tears, sitting close to him on bed she surprised him.

"Yusuf are you okay now?" She asked him who was still looking at her.

"Say something. You're fine right?" She asked again touching his forehead with her hand.

"I'm...I'm fine." He replied and tried to sat up.

Moving closer to him, she helped him in sitting up. Both of their hearts felt the tingle at that moment when they felt the other so close. As he sat up, she placed few pillows behind him so that he could sit properly.  Moving back, she didn't look at him, felt strange on her condition. A kind of hesitation she felt being near him. Her heart was beating differently and so was his.

"Would you like to freshen up?" She asked him who gave a nod and threw the blanket away and stood up while she went to take his clothes out from the wardrobe.

He was surprised and happy too to see her in his room doing his work with full right. As he held his clothes from her hand, both of their eyes looked at each other and she smiled at him holding her heart. Smiling back at her, he walked to washroom while she stepped out of the room to make breakfast for him. While making breakfast she was just thinking about him. Every day, every time when he was with her. Each and every moment, they were together in these two years. She never felt like this before. What this night had changed between them. She was not understanding.  After making the breakfast, she walked back to the room and saw him standing in front of the mirror combing his hair.  Both of their eyes fall on each other and she was the first to look away as he was not wearing any shirt .

"Breakfast." She said while placing it on the table and walked to the wardrobe to take some bedsheet.

His eyes followed her. He could see her cheeks tinted pink and his lips smiled. Taking his shirt, he wore it and walked to sit on the sofa placed in the room and pour the tea in his cup while eyes were on her, capturing her all the time who was now spreading the bedsheet on the bed but her heart was beating fast in her chest as she could feel his gaze on her which was making her nervous.

"Sakeena." Ae he called her heart jumped, she looked up at him.

"Come have breakfast first." He said and she gave a nod and walked to him.

Sitting next to him, she took her cup of tea and start having it with bread and omelette.  There was silence berwen them.

"I should go to the academy." He said placing the cup back on the table.

"No you can't. You were burning in the fever last night and vomitting like hell. Don't think to go anywhere. Just go to your bed and take rest. And also take your medicine." She said while getting up and passed him his medicines.

"But there must be work.  Kamel couldn't handle it without me." He said tried to convince her.

"No need. He can handle it for few days." She said.

"Days? How many days I've to stay at home?" He asked shocked.

"Until you recover properly. " replying, she passed a smile to him and went out of the room.

Smiling on her words, he filled his cup again with tea and kept thinking about her. Later on, Sakeena after taking some rest in her room and freshen up was there to help him in everything. It had been 3 days now that he was staying at home on the order given by Sakeena. He was bored and she was happy that he was listening to her. It was another day when she was about to sleep at night and she heard a knock on her door and Yusuf pushed it back and showed his face to her. She looked at him worried. 

"What happened?" She asked him while removing her blanket and got up.

"I'm not sleepy. Can we talk?" He asked and she gave a nod.

"Come to my room with coffee." He said and her heart beat differently as his eyes were saying something else.

Nodding, she went to make coffee but her mind was still tangled with him. She was just thinking about what he wanted to talk. Her finger got tangled  together and mind was racing with thoughts running on it. Taking the cups of coffee, she went to his room and as she entered, she saw him standing near the balcony looking out at the foggy night. Looking at him, she covered herself with her shawl and walked to him and stood next to him.

"Coffee." She said and he turned to her smilingly and took the cup from her hand.

She covered herself properly with her shawl as it was too cold to stand in the balcony in this foggy night. Both looked ahead at the fog which had covered everything around.

"Its so cold outside. You shouldn't stand here. You'll get sick again." She said while rubbing her hands and looking around where the fog was increasing.

"I was thinking something." He said siping his coffee.

"What?" She asked tried to stop her teeth from chattering.

"We've come together all of sudden. We become friends. Companions of sorrows and griefs. We've seen the cruelty and hate of our family together. Their disbelieve on us. We bear it together. We stepped out of it together.  And I want us to move to each other together.  I don't know what has changed but my heart beats diferently now. For you." He said, turned to see her who turned to see him and her own heart beat differently.

"We have always been friends. Knows each other better. We've seen such worse things and incidents that had changed our lives and brought us together. That's why now I want us to move to each other willingly." Taking a step closer to her, he said and she was looking down holding her heart.

He kept looking at her for few seconds.  Her red cheeks and nose due to cold brought a smile to his lips while heart tingled sweetly for her.

"I promise to be with you forever. I want us to live as husband and wife now." On his words, she looked up astonished.

"I want us to live a real life now. I will be your friend." He started and she looked away from him holding her heart as his words were giving a slight happiness to her heart.

"I will be your companion on every way. I will be the shield covering you from all bad things." He was saying while his feet were moving toward her ending the distance between them and he came behind her while her cheeks heated up, palms got sweaty and breaths uneven in this cold.

"I'll be the shawl, covering you from the cold." Spreading his arms around her from behind, he whispered in her ear and slightly touched his lips there, placing a soft kiss.

His embrace around her gave her slight happiness and peace. She felt so lightly there. Her eyes closed down while lips smiled a little. Her fingers slightly touched his arm, wrapped around hers. His lips smiled too and he rested his chin on her shoulder feeling her there. But Sakeena at the same time reached back at that moment when everything changed.

"How dare you both?" Mr tufail's voice rang in her ear and her eyes snapped open.

All that happened remind it to her and her eyes once again filled up with tears. She remembered that how she lost their trust, believe on her. How her mother slapped her. How they blame her for what she didn't commit.

"You shameless girl."

"You're not my son anymore."

"You disgraced me in front of all."

Tears started to flow down on her cheeks as every word she recalled wounded her heart once again. What had happened two years ago was still there between them and that's what made her shout.  Yusuf who was unaware of her condition was about to snuggled on her neck when she turned and pushed him back with her all force.

"No." She shouted and he looked at her shocked.

The tears running out of her eyes made him worried but she didn't say anything to him and just ran away from there leaving him shocked and alone. He kept standing there for a long time thinking about her behaviour. On other side, sakeena went to her room and cried. Cried all the night thinking what had passed but she was still standing there. It was yet not easy to forget what happened and not easy for her to move on with him.

All the night passed and both of them were thinking about each other.  Sakeena felt bad on pushing him like that while he felt embarrassed on going closer to her without her will. Somehow the night passed  and morning came bringing both of them on breakfast table. Sakeena was looking at him who was having breakfast silently without looking at her. As both finished their breakfast, he got up and walked back to his room. She kept standing there, fingers tangled with each other thinking something and then she walked to his room.  As she opened the door, he looked up from his wrist watch at her and then again look down at his wrist to tie it. She took step inside but he didn't look at her and taking his wallet, he passes from her but she held his wrist making his feet to stop.

"I'm sorry about last night." She said and slowly turned to him.

"You're offended, don't you?" She asked who didn't turned to her but shook his head as no.

"I'm so so sorry. I just couldn't forgot." She started to cry with the words and he turned to her.

"I just can't forget the words they said about us. The blame they put on us still didn't let me live a peaceful night. I want to move on with you but I'm still standing there, surrounded with the hateful words, in the dirt of blame which is killing me slowly.  It made me think that it will be wrong. You and me together, it will be wrong. It will he a sin. We'll prove their blame into truth.  I will die...."

"Shhhh. Just calm down." She was crying badly while saying with hiccups when he turned to her. Cupping her face, he said consoling her tried to make her calm by running his hand on her back slowly, gently.

"Just calm down." He said rubbing her hands in his but she was still crying badly.

"This blame won't let me live Yusuf. I feel dirt on me every time. I feel like I'm a dirty thing. I feel like my body is covered with dirt. I feel worse of myself. I can't live like that." She cried more and he just put her head on his chest, hand caressed her hair.

"Just calm down. Don't think about anything." He said and moved back to see her.

Holding her, he took her to bed and made her sit there and brought a glass of warer for her. After Making her drink water, he sat in front of her on his knees, held her hands in his.

"Sakeena."She looked up at him on his call still tears shinning on her lashes.

"Don't think about anything.  I didn't say anything last night. Just forget about it. And about that blame, it hurts i know.  Maybe we won't be able to forget this in our whole life but we can't let our own self destroy. We can't let our dreams to destroy. Its our life and its our right to live happily.  I've no problem living with you my whole life as your friend. I want you to be happy. Live happily. Those who have put this blame on us will see the punishment of Allah. We just have to play our part.  We just have to be friends as always. Nothing more is necessary. Okay!?" He said and asked at the last and she gave a nod with a slight smile on her lips but a tear slipped from her eye .

"No more tears. Come we're getting late for academy." He said standing up.

"You're not offended right?" She asked looking at his back who turned to her again on her question with a smile.

"I'm not." He replied giving peace to her heart.

Both smiled and went out of the house together to the academy with many thoughts going on their minds but one was smiliar and that was wishing for other's happiness. 

Sakeena.
It had been few days since that day and Sakeena was restless on her place on rejecting him. On refusing to be with him as his wife.  She was restless. She didn't know why but it wasn't giving her peace. She wanted  to be with him on one hand while on other side, she was not able to. Every time, she met with him, she tried to find something on his face about what he said to her that night but there was nothing she could find. She maybe wanted him to say it again. She maybe had thought to be with him. She didn't know actually what she want.

She was again lost in his thoughts. It was happening now these days that its only his thought running on her mind every time. Sometimes, she start smiling thinkibg about him, sometimes start scolding herself and sometimes her heart beat differently with his thoughts. Again she was smiling with his thoughts running on mind. 

"Hey." Snapping his fingers in front of her, he brought her out of her thoughts.

"Why are you smiling? Thinking about me?" He asked winking.

"Okay sorry I was kidding." As he saw her serious expressions, he hurriedly said not wanted her to misunderstand him but he was not aware of her condition.

Her heart was going crazy, running fast in her chest. Her hands were getting sweaty on his presence around her. His voice was giving tingles to her heart and it was so strange for her to understand that what was happening to her.

"Sakeena." He called her again who was still lost in looking at him.

"Huh! Yes I'm listening." Saying, she looked down at the bowl where she was making noddles for herself.

"I'm going out for a while. Be ready on time." He said and she just gave a nod without looking at him holding her crazy heart.

It was Kamal and Rozena's Mehndi night. So they were invited there and Sakeena was so eager to go there but now her thoughts and heart were betraying her. She was losing her interest in the marriage.  He took her all interests to him. His thoughts were not leaving her alone for a second and this was bringing a beautiful smile on her lips. Thinking about him all the time, she got ready.

Yusuf.
"Its so difficult." Placing his forehead on the wall, he was mumbling while  his right hand was also there on the wall.

His dress was out, placed on bed but he was here controlling his heart. His heart which was going crazy for Sakeeena. It was beating for her with every passing second and he just couldn't do anything. He knew that there couldn't be any place for him in Sakeena's heart. She was still under those words under that incident which had changed their lives but he had no control on his heart. It become crazy when he looked at her. It was getting difficult for him to stay away from her. To not show his love to her.

"I can't hide my love Sakeena when you're in front of me every time as my wife. You've put me in such trouble." He said running his fingers in his hair while thoughts went to the morning when he saw her.

In lemon colour frock her hair tied up in a loose style, dupatta around her shoulders, everything was running on his mind giving his heart tingles. Sighing, he took his dress and went to get ready. As he got ready, he stepped out of his room.  Locking his wrist watch, he was going on when he bumped with her. His eyes moved on her and then stick on her, forgot to blink. As she saw him looking at her like this, her cheeks tinted pink, eyes lower down. In dark blue colour  shirt reaching her knees and trouser beneath it, a beautiful net dupatta on her right shoulder and on left shoulder there was a velvet shawl of red colour, she was looking so beautiful. Her hair opened on her back, beautiful earring she was wearing and there was nothing in her neck making her more elegant. Red lipstick on her beautiful lips and light makeup, it made Yusuf to lost her senses. He just kept looking at her crazily. His gaze was giving heat to her cheeks and her heart was about to come out.

"Yusuf. We're getting late." She said with much difficulty but still looking down.

"Huh! Yes. I'm just...coming." He said and turned to his room again.

As he was gone, she placed her hand on her heart to breath normally and let her heart to beat normal but  it was not calming down.  Her lips were smiling shyly and cheeks were getting pink. On other side as Yusuf entered his room, he closed the door and started to take deep breaths.  His forehead was filled with sweat and he was trying to control his uncontrolled heart which was going crazy to hug her, to just keep looking at her, to kiss her beautiful eyes where he wanted to see his reflection. She was looking so beautiful that it was going to be so hard for him stop himself from going closer to her. It was first time when he saw her like that. And she made him crazy, crazy in love with her.

"Sakeena you'll kill me." Placing his hand on his heart, he said while a smile touched his lips.

Sighing deeply, he stepped out of the room where she was waiting for him. Both looked at each other but didn't say anything. Both of their hearts were betraying them. They were agree to go to their love one but they were stopping their hearts. The journey from their house to the event they were silent, avoiding to look at each other. As they reached at the event, both stepped out of the car and without looking at each other both went inside tge house where the gathering was. It was a combined function of bride and groom that's why both came together at one place. Throughout the function both were there absent minded. They were lost in each other's thoughts. Both were thinking to talk to other one more time about their relation. The dinner served and all went to have it. Yusuf and Sakeena were having dinner with their friends. Both were standing a little far from each other but their hearts were calling the others. Yusuf looked at her who was standing with few of her friends, covering herself with her red velvet shawl and he imagined himself hugging her from behind covering her from cold. Taking the sip of tea, she looked at him at the same time. Both of their eyes met and heart skipped their beat. She was the first to looked away and again start talking to her friends.  As she again covered herself with her shawl, her mind went back to that night when he came behind her, took her in the circle of his arms and his those words which brought a smile to her lips.

"I'll be the shawl, covering you from cold."

As she remenbered, she looked at him once again giving message to him who was already looking at her. Both of their eyes met once again and this time he could see her eyes speaking to him. What? He wanted to know. Till the function end, both were planning to talk to other one.  But the hesitation was still there.  As the function ended, both walked to each other with beating hearts which were tingling with their thoughts.

"Shall we go now?" He asked her who gave a nod and walked out with him.

Sitting in the car, she was tangling her fingers in restlessness. She wanted to speak. Wanted to say something but her tongue was all quite.  As he started the car, she looked at him once and again looked down at her hands. Throughout the jouraney toward their home, both were trying to find any words to start a conversation but a kind of hesitation was stopping them.  It was happening for the first time that she was becoming so nervous to even look at him. A little snowfall started, and he increased the speed to reach home before it increase.

"I always dreamed to see this snow but never knew my this dream will come true." Looking at the snow, she said and he smiled listening to her who was now smiling as she saw cotton like snow falling on the earth. 

Again there was silence in the car. The car was running fast on the road and soon they reached their home. Locking the car in the garage, he went in with her who was shivering with cold. He turned on the lights and she just threw her bag on sofa and rubbed her hands together.

"Its too cold." She said still rubbibg her hands to warm them.

"Who told you to go without any coat or sweater. Its Murree. Remember!?" He said with a smile and turned the heater on of the hall.

"I had my shawl with me and who wears coat on fancy clothes.  It was wedding.  I thought that I would look weird with coat but didn't know that it would be that much cold. My teeth started to chattering." She said and he laughed on her while removing his shoes.

She took off her shoes too but once again took her shawl to cover herself from the cold and walked toward the kitchen.

"I'm going to make tea. You want it?" She yelled from the kitchen and he smiled on her little shouts.

"Of course." He gave her answer while walking toward kitchen.

As he entered the kitchen, he saw her standing near to the stove and placed her hands near the fire. She felt his presence behind her and his gaze on her. She didn't turned neither said something.  But his gaze was making her nervous and he there knew her nervousness. He was enjoying it. Her hesitation and hiding. Everything. Folding his arms on his chest, he leaned on the door of kitchen but eyes still on her.

"God! Yusuf don't look at me please." She mumbled slowly, felt her cheeks heated up and hands shiver with just his gaze.

In nervousness, she couldn't thought anything and started to remove her earrings. Her bangles voice created a beautiful music in the silence.  Her shawl slipped from her shoulder and she tried to hold it back but then suddenly felt his hand on hers making her every movement to stop.

"May I help?" He asked moving a step more closer to that she felt his breath falling on her ear.

With shawl, he made his arms too to cover her in. Taking her in embrace of his arms from behind, he leaned on her ear while she closed her eyes tightly, getting hard to breath at the moment.

"I can help in fading your cold." He whispered in her ear and waited for her act, anything from her but she didn't say anything.

"Can I stay in your room tonight?" He asked making her turn to him, breaking the circle of his arms.

"W..Why?" She asked who was trying to hide his smile.

"I feel alone and that scareds me that's why." With an innocent answer, he took a step toward her but she faltered and moved a step back.

His arm reached her waist pulling her closer to him that every distant ended. Her hands rested on his shoulders, eyes met with his for once and then looked away from his heated one.

"Lea..ve...me." She said, her tongue not letting her to speak properly and he was enjoying her nervousness.

"Until you let me sleep in your room." He said, stubbornly.

"Yusuf." She looked at him and then just couldn't say anything as his eyes were saying a lot.

"Sakeena is it true what I can read in your eyes?" He asked, his thumb caressed her cheek and her eyes lowered down, heart was about to come out.

She felt his lips on her forehead but still she didn't say anything. He leaned closer to her lips making her to shut her eyes tightly. "This time don't push me back. It'll be not good for you then." He whispered in her ear and kissed her ear softly.

"Yusuf please." On her words, he moved back and looked at her who had her eyes tightly closed.

He kept looking at her for few seconds and then slowly took his arm off from her waist and moved back making her eyes open. She looked at him who was already looking at her. Few seconds passed and then he looked down, sighed and again looked at her.

"Don't take it seriously. I was just joking.  You don't have to be worried.  I was joking. Bring the tea." He said smilingly and as he turned to go, her voice stopped him.

"But I didn't took it as a joke. I'm serious about it. You can sleep in my room if you want.  Here is the tea." She said placing his cup of tea on the shelf and moved ahead, going out of the kitchen but stopped on the entrance but didn't turn to him.

"And I didn't push you this time but you stopped by yourself." She said and walked to her room giving a shock of happiness to him.

"What I heard?" He asked himself, running his fingers in his hair moving here and there happily.

"Sakeena." He yelled her name and ran toward her room.

"Sakeena." Shouting her name, he pushed the door of her room and looked at her who was applaying something on her hands.

"Yusuf what happened?" She asked concerned but he ran to her and picked her up in his arms, circling in the room happily.

"Yusuf stop. What happened?" Laughing she asked him, holding his shoulder tightly but he was circling in the room carrying her in his arms.

"You gave me permission to sleep in your room. This is the biggest happiness for me." He said innocently looking at her once and again circling in the room.

"What!? Yusuf leave me." She said and he stopped making her land on her feet but still holding her close to his heart.

"I'm sleepy. Leave me now." She said, hiding her smile and tried to move out of his embrace but he pulled her closer to him again.

"You can't sleep when I'm here." He whispered looking at her who's cheeks turned pink on his words.

"Don't...don't look at me." Turning to other side, she said her hands shivering, heart beat differently.

"What should I do then?" He asked as he ran his fingers on her arms and reached on her hands.

"What should I do Sakeena?" He asked in a whisper near to her ear making her breaths to uneven.

He made her turn to him and looked at her who had her eyes lowered. He cupped her face with right hand and with other, he pulled her closer by her waist. Her hands touched his shoulders and eyes were still lowered. Leaning on her lips, he didn't let her speak anymore and captured her lips in a kiss. A kiss which made their hearts to stop for a second, they felt like bonding with each other, a kiss which healed their every wound and they forgot everything. It wasn't a passionate kiss but filled with emotions, love made her tears to come out. He slowly moved back and looked at her who was standing in front of him with a smile on her lips, and tears in her eyes. He wiped her tears and pulled her into a hug. A hug which he longed for. A hug which gave him peace to have to beautiful life with her. Holding each other in their embrace, they were happy, excited and ready to start their life with each other. They were ready to take the next step in their life with each other and were dreaming of their future with a beautiful smile on their lips.

10 years later.

It was a huge hall and filled with silence. A huge dinning table which had different kinds of dishes placed on it. On the the first chairs Yusuf and Sakeena were seated and were having dinner silently.  Next to them were their kids. 6 years old Mujahid and 5 years old zariya were also having their meals silently like their parents. Mrs Tufail, Sakeena's mother and Fariha's parents and Yusuf's siblings were seated there too silently but their eyes were roaming on them time to time who were not looking at any of them but were having their meal.

"Yusuf." It was Mr Tufail's brother,his Chacha who called him and he looked at him.

Its about a month ago, they were living happily with each other. Yusuf and Sakeena's life filled with each other's love and their happiness. Their small but beautiful house filled up with more happiness when these two flowers came in their lives. Zariya and Mujahid were the only happiness of their lives. They were so much happy to have them in their lives. They had completed their family. They had completed them and there was nothing else they could ask for. They didn't want anything else now. They were happy in their life. Enjoying every moment with each other when again their past came in front of them.

It was a fine morning when Yusuf was playing with his kids in the small lawn because it was sunny day after many days and they were enjoying this sunny day with each other when the door ringed and he went to open it. He got shocked to see Mrs Tufail and his brother there standing along with his Chacha.

"Yusuf." His mother cried looking at him and he allow them to enter his home.

"Who's there Yusuf?" Asked Sakeena while coming out but stopped on her place to see his mother and brother there.

It was the result of her arrival there that they were once again sitting in that Haweli where they never wanted to come. His mother requested him to come home for once.  They had realized what mistake they had done. They got to know the truth behind that blame and that's why they were called again back at home after years.

"Yusuf Fariha wants to meet you two. She's in a very bad condition. She wants to ask forgiveness from you both for what she did. I request you to please meet her once. " Said his Chacha ( father's brother).

"She's not in a good condition. We all are sorry for what had happened but please meet her once." Said his Chacha while tears shinned in his eyes.

"I don't want to. I came because I couldn't say no to my mother but that day when we left from here, we broke every relation with you all because you all had broke us. And your daughter was behind it all. It was not merely a blame which you all had put on us but it was a dirt which had made us to hate ourselves too. How we survived we only know but we survived. Thanks to Allah but we overcome it. I have nothing to say to any one." Said Yusuf looking down and all eyes were shedding tears on what they did.

5 years ago Fariha met with an accident which cause her to get paralyzed and now she was not able to move at all. Her husband divorced her and she again came back to her home. She was destroyed completely. Her husband took her son away also. Her only child and in these years, he never let her meet her son. She cried and cried but there was nothing she could do.

And then she realized that it was happening because she did something which had destroyed two lives. The blame she put on Yusuf and Sakeena. The sin which she did on putting false blame on anyone. She made a son and a daughter far away from their mothers and now she was crying for her child. So in regret, she told everyone the truth.  How she made Yusuf and Sakeena to come at one place just to put that blame on them.

This made everyone shocked and Mr Tufail fell back defeated. He took it to his heart which cause a heart attack to him. He was dying since then in regret and shame. He was asking forgiveness from Allah since then he got to know.

But Yusuf was not agree to meet them. He didn't want to see Fariha neither his father who didn't believe him. Sakeena held his hand and he looked at her. She gave a light smile to him and then at his mother.

"He'll meet his father." Said Sakeena and he looked at her shocked.

"We'll go to meet him." She said holding his hand.

And then he didn't say anything and agreed to see his father. Both went to his room and looked at him who was looking so weak. He was laying on bed, his eyes were hardly open and as he saw them both, his eyes shinned up and tears started to flow down.

"Yusuf." He called them and both moved ahead and hugged him giving peace to his heart.

He asked for forgiveness from both of them.  Yusuf cried too as he met his father. Sakeena was crying too. She also hugged her mother and took her blessings. And then they went to see Fariha who was laying on bed unable to move, just shed tears as she saw them. Both didn't let her say anything but forgave her for what she had done with them.

His parents and Chacha insisted to stay with them like family, like before and Yusuf's answer was very clear and then no one insist.

"We cannot be like before. We can never be now. We're happy in our life. Please let us live like we are living." He said and held Sakeena's hand and both walked out of the house with  their kids to live a peaceful life which will be filled with love and trust.

They sat in their car and Yusuf held Sakeena's hand again, placed a soft kiss on the back and both smiled looking at each other. Mujahid moved a little ahead and asked.

"Baba now where?" Yusuf smiled on his question.

"Home sweet Home." Sakeena and Yusuf replied together and chuckled.

Their kids smiled too and the car started to move to their 'Home sweet Home' where they had their own world of love and happiness.
