Mine Forever

Chapter 6

Enjoy reading:)

The whole khan house was full of hustle preparing for the engagement ceremony. It was simple but the woman's of the house wanted everything perfect. The ceremony was taking place in the Khan's pushtaini house where every ceremony is held.

It was a big mansion that was situated in a far away place leaving behind the noise of the city. The nature surrounding it making the place more beautiful. There were not many houses around. A few miles ahead there is a waterfall that just takes our breath away.

Alhumdulilah it was beautiful.

Everyone is present here except for two people, Manal's elder sister, Mariam who was supposed to come with her family from Dubai, but due to some problem her flight got delayed and Muskan's elder brother Aahil who has gone to London due to some business issue and the sadness could be seen on Haniya's face beacuse of her fiance's absence

Haniya was going to get married to Muskan's elder brother Aahil, but he wanted himself settled before he starts his new life so he postponed his marriage at the end of this year and everyone including Haniya gladly accepted it

Manal was upset with her sister's absence and everyone was trying their best to cheer her up which was working as she was the target of her cousins constant teasings!

Right now Manal was getting ready for the ceremony while Muskan and Haniya were helping her with the outfit

Sara was making Ruhana ready as Rumana and Faizal have gone to bring home Manal's surprise which neither of them know!

While the boys were getting ready in their room while making fun of each other

"Bro, you're looking like those old age people who don't have fashion sense. Just look at me and yourself." Zaim commented while looking at Ayan who had just made his way out from the washroom

"You are looking like an idiot." Ayan replied while setting his hair in the mirror

"Yeah, yeah, you are just jealous that I'm more handsome than you." Zaim replied with a proud smirk on his face

"In your dreams." Ayan replied and the bickening started while Rashid who had just entered the room shook his head and saw Yazan and Saahil were busy doing something on their phone's while they had not even changed!

"Don't you both wanna change?" Rashid asked and the both of them looked up and turned to each other and both of them replied at the same time

"Few minutes." Rashid shook his head and turned around to see Zaim and Ayan still arguing

"STOP." He yelled and that made them both stop and Yazan and Saahil who were busy with their phone's looked up horrified and dashed towards the washroom together!

An angry Rashid is not good to deal with!

"I'm going outside don't start with your fight again." He said pointing his finger at the two of them whose heads were hung low as if they were caught while doing something wrong

Nodding their head they separated themselves and started getting ready while Rashid made his way towards his beautiful wife, Aisha who was looking tired

"What happened?" He asked while his face showed concern

Aisha smiled at him and shook her head in negative but after seeing the glare that her husband was passing she replied,

"Tired."

"I told you not to work, but still you wanted to stress yourself. Now come on I'll give you a foot massage." He said and extended his hand while Aisha watched him amused

"What?" He asked after seeing her lack of response

"Nothing." She said and took his hand which he had extended

She smiled her way towards the room and was thanking Allah Subhana Wataala for giving her such amazing husband!

Saahir made his way into the room huffing and puffing as he was annoyed because he was not able to do his hair the way Zaim did. Seeing him annoyed Zaim made his way towards the little boy and asked him his problem

"I'm not able to do my hair. I want it to be just like you." He said making Zaim smile and he ruffled his hair and made him stand while he himself started doing his hair

"Here you go." Zaim said after doing his hair as similar to his

"Thank you bhai. You are the great." He said and hugged him while Zaim replied

"I know champ, I'm the great. But some people here don't realise it." He said and glared at Ayan who was rolling his eyes at him

He looked down at the 7 year old boy who was still hugging his waist as he was too short to hug him

Saahir dashed out once he was done hugging Zaim running his way to the backyard, but bumped into our little Ruhana for not looking his way

"Ouch." She said as she fell down while he stood there unaffected

"I'm sorry." He said and extended his hand while Ruhana gratefully accepted it and smiled at him

"Thank youh." She said while a small blush was creeping up her way

"You are welcome." Shaking his upcoming though he replied to her thanks and dashed out while Ruhana made her way towards Sara who was walking out of the room looking gorgeous in her red dress

Sara was about to wear the dress which was gifted to her from Manal which was black in colour but on her mother's request to not wear black she agreed but what surprised her was that her mother had already bought a red dress with her. When Sara asked her mom how did she know that she will agree, her mother had simply replied,

"You are my daughter, I know you. You will never say no to me."

"Hey cutiepie." Sara said and kissed Ruhana on her cheek while Ruhana copied the same

"Why are your hair so messed up?" Sara asked her once she saw her hair

"I fhell." She said and looked down with her face flushed while Sara was trying to make out what happened to her

'It's okay. Come I'll do it properly." Sara said and caught hold of her hand and entered the room

Yazan and Saahil were still not ready to leave their phone's even though they were in the backyard. While Yazan was sitting on the couch busy with his phone, Saahil was standing in the corridor watching some video

"Excuse me, you are blocking my way." On hearing a girl's voice both of them looked up from their phone's while Yazan was looking directly at the girl while Saahil's back was to the girl

He turned around and saw Muskan's younger sister, Zoya standing there with a plate in her hand

She was wearing a navy blue dress with some work done on it. She was holding a plate with a cloth wrapped on it. She was wearing a watch in her left hand while her eyes were trained on the floor

Her eyes were black in colour, while she was wearing a hijab that complimented her skin colour

She is beautiful!

Yazan shook Saahil's shoulder and he came out of his trance. After giving her way, he was about to unlock his phone when he heard his best friends voice

"So....someone likes someone huh..?" Yazan asked while wiggling his eyebrows at him

"Do you?" Saahil asked with a poker face and continued his looking at the video

"Dumbo, its you not me." Yazan said while hitting Saahil on his head

"Ouch. No and why do you think so?" Saahil asked while crossing his hands on his chest and giving him a challenging look

"The way you were observing her...it's obvious man." He said

"You are out of your mind." Saahil said

"Yeah yeah I'm out of my mind and you are out of this world." Yazan said rolling his eyes at him. Saahil was about to argue when they both heard a loud scream of Muskan. They both looked at each other worriedly and dashed inside to see what had happened while the whole house gathered upon hearing her scream

Sara who was talking to Ruhana made her way along with the girls so be left shocked when she saw the surrounding

There stood Mariam along with her husband Arhaan and a cute 5 years old daughter Hafsa in his hand, while Mariam was smiling at someone while looking behind Sara

Sara turned around and saw Manal was standing on the staircase with tears in her eyes. She dashed towards her sister and hugged her like there was no tomorrow. Everyone was watching the scene in front of them with a smile on their faces

The bonding of sisters cannot be explained in words. Even if you don't have best friends, they are the one who intends to be your best friends and open up to you while you do the same. The bonding of two sisters are amazing. While the elder one explain you about this Dunya and Deen while the younger one keeps the craziness alive in their relationship

The bonding that Manal and Mariam had was known to all. They were like a mother and a daughter. If no one knows the secret of one other, the other would definitely know! Such was their relationship.

No secrets!

No lies!

Manal was sobbing on Mariam's shoulder while she was patting her back

"I missed you Baji."Manal said still sobbing

"I missed you too." Mariam said while Mana's mom and dad made their way towards their elder daughter and son in law to welcome them

After the little re-union everyone gathered in the hallways laughing and talking while the ladies were busy making snacks. Everyone were ready for the ceremony except for the bride who was now getting ready with Anaya and Haniya's help

Sara and Muskan made their way out while the boys present there felt their heart skip looking at the gorgeous girls making their way with a smile on their way

After they were done with the snacks, the boys went in the backyard arranging things while the girls went upstairs to see the bride

Manal was looking beautiful in her dark greenish colour dress that covered her legs making it looking like a gown. Her make-up was perfect.

Masha Allah!

After some time the honk of the car was heard indicating the arrival of the groom's for the ceremony.

After few minutes the girls took Manal out in the women's section

The backyard was perfectly decorated and divided into two half with a curtain in between so that the girls could be comfortable without their niqaabs. They made Manal sit and after few Masha Allah and she is looking beautiful the ceremony started

It was a simple ceremony. After escaping some aunties Sara and Muskan made their way towards Rumana and Aisha who were sitting in the back seat tired

"What happened di?" Sara asked Aisha di who was looking very tired

"Nothing, just tired." Aisha said smiling at Sara and turned to look at Muskan who was looking totally pissed for some reason

"What happened to you?" Rumana asked looking at Muskan who was mumbling something to her own self

"Don't ask appi." Muskan said annoyedly

"Okay." Rumana said while the three of them were suppressing their looking at the shocked face of Muskan

"Hey! I didn't mean it." She said

"Okay now tell me what happened?" Rumana asked her again

"Those aunties, don't they have some other work to do? They were behind me and Sara asking about our biography. Like seriously? Don't they get embarrassed? And here this girl instead of ignoring them was talking to them politely." Muskan said while pointing her finger at Sara who was smiling speechlessly

"She is not like you Muskan. You are confident enough to fight for yourself, but she is not like that. She thinks talking politely will help which helps in some cases but not every time Sara." Rumana appi said the last part looking at Sara while she looked down

"What can I do appi? They are elder to us, how can I ignore them?" Sara said pointing out the thing which most youngsters have forgotten

"You see Muskan, you fight for yourself while she think of other people first." Aisha said while smiling at an innocent Sara

Before anyone could reply they heard Sara's mom call out to her and she excused herself making her way towards her mom while the three of them shook their head and continued their talk

Sara made her way towards her mom unknown of the reason of being called

"Yes mom?" She smiled at the lady that was standing beside her mom smiling at her

"Beta, she is Mrs Malik." My mom introduced me to the lady

"Assalamualaikum aunty." I said while smiling which she returned

"Walaikumassalam dear." She said

"Beta she wants to make you her daughter in law." My mom and I was shocked but coming out of it I looked at my mom who was giving me sympathetic look

"Oh." That was all I could say at that moment

"So she wants you to meet his son." My mom and not knowing what to say I nodded my head in approval but what my mom said next left me shocked

"Now." She said while apologizing through her eyes

I smiled at her squeezed her hand to relax her which immediately helped as she smiled at me

"Okay. Where?" I asked and the lady excused herself so that she could call her son leaving me and my mom alone

"I'm sorry beta. Just meet him I'm not forcing you. She was not leaving me so I had to call you.I hope you don't mind?" She said and I could feel the honesty in her words

"Its okay ma. I just have to meet him. I'll take Saahil and Muskan with me just in case." I said while my mom winked at me knowing the reason about taking Muskan

Sara made her way towards where the three of them were talking. Nervously she kept her hand on Muskan's shoulder and gave her a smile which Muskan returned with her eyebrows raised

"You see... Muskan.. one of the aunt wants me to..." I stopped looking at Muskan who was giving me curious looks

"To..?" Muskan questioned

"Meet her son. But I promise just meet. Nothing else." I said before she could even open her mouth

"And why are telling me this?"She asked Sara already knowing the answer but wanted it confirmed from her best friend

"So that you could come with me?" She said more like questioned and the three of them wanted to laugh at her face

"Relax. Jeez, I won't eat you. Okay than come. It's better if he behaves otherwise you know me right?" Muskan asked Sara while he rolled eyes at her

"Yeah yeah." She said and made her way out to see her brother already there glued to his phone

"Saahil?" Sara called him and he tugged his phone inside his jeans pocked while making his way towards us

"Asslamualaikum." He said to both of the while they replied to her salaam

Muskan and Saahil where talking about the guy while Sara was standing there sweat forming on her forehead

"Hey!" They heard a masculine voice and the three of them looked at the owner of the voice

He was tall, as in very tall with black eyes, hard jaw in his casuals looking good

"Assalamualaikum." My brother greeted him while extending his hand for a handshake

"Oh...walaikumassalam." he replied lightly embarrassed?

"So.... who's the girl?" He asked looking between Sara and Muskan while Muskan was controlling hard to not punch him on his face!

"My sister, Sara." Saahil said showing me through his hand while I looked down

The floor was looking far much better than him

"Okay." He said and was making his way towards Sara when Muskan's voice stopped him

"Talk to her, from here only Mr....?"

"Nabhan Malik." He said his gaze lingering between Muskan and Sara

"Mr Nabhan Malik." Muskan said

"Okay, fine."he said and took a step back

"So..what do you do?" He asked her while Muskan and Saahil rolled their eyes at him

"Lame question." Muskan muttered while Saahil agreed with her

"I..I'm.Still studying." Sara said still looking at the floor

"Okay. Why aren't you looking at me?" He asked Sara and before she could reply Muskan beat her

"Dont you know the meaning of lowering your gaze in front of a non-mehram?" Muskan snapped at him while he stood there as if they where talking some thing in Greek

"What?" He asked completely lost at words

"Nothing. Sara I guess the meeting is over Assalamualaikum." With that Muskan took hold of Sara's hand and started walking while saahil too followed them while he stood there dumbfounded thinking of what just happened

Both Muskan and Sara were making their way inside when muskan bumped into someone making both herself and Sara to fall

"Are you okay?" On hearing Ayan's voice Muskan looked up at him to see him looking a them with concern

"Yeah I'm fine." She said and got up while Sara did the same

"I was not asking you, I was asking Sara." He said which made Muskan angry they both started fighting on it while Sara was looking at them amusingly

Unknown to her Zaim was looking at her with a smile plastered on his lips

Sensing someones gaze on her Sara looked behind Ayan to see Zaim standing there but was looking at Ayan and Muskan who were fighting

Shaking her head she started pulling Muskan , but Muskan was in no mood to back off and instead left Sara's hand and started fighting again

Ayan having enough of her stopped fighting back and turned round to see Sara and saahil standing there with their eyes full of amusement

"What?" He asked annoyed while muskan was smirking

"Nothing." They both replied together

"By the way what were you three doing outside?" He asked and looked between Sara, Muskan and saahil waiting for an answer

"Meeting lame people." Replied Muskan annoyingly while Sara giggled and saahil smiled at her chosen words

"Lame people?" Zaim who was quite all throughout the fight asked the question looking confused while Ayan was the same

Before anyone could answer Nabhan made his grand entry with a smirk plastered on his lips

"Missing me people?" He asked looking at Sara, and Zaim was not loving the way he was watching his Sara

My Sara?

Seriously?

Shaking his head he looked at Nabhan who was still smirking

"In your dreams." Muskan snapped at him while Ayan grinned

That's my girl!

Shaking his head at muskan, Nabhan made his way inside not wanting to get insulted by a girl while both the boys crossed their arms waiting for an explanation. Not wanting to stand there anymore, Saahil walked inside only to be stopped by a laughing voice. As he peeked inside he saw zoya laughing for some reason. He smiled and made his way towards the men's section

Both Ayan and Zaim were waiting for an explanation while Sara was fidgeting with her fingers while muskan was pondering over whether to tell them or no

"Answer." Ayan said in his deep voice sending chills down muskan's spine while Sara stood there scared waiting for Muskan to speak up

"Actually that guy's mom wanted Sara to be her daughter in law." Muskan aid while stretching the last word looking at Zaim while understanding her Ayan too looked Zaim who was clenching and unclenching his fist and his eyes were turning the darker shade of black

"So we just came here to meet that guy on Sara's mom's request." Muskan said smiling slightly enjoying the look that Zaim had on his face while Ayan smirked

"So what's your answer Sara?" Ayan asked provoking Zaim and now his whole attention was on Sara who was nervously looking at the floor

Before she could at anything Muskan beat her up, but the next words that left her mouth made Zaim freeze in his spot while Sara was beyond shock

"It's a yes from her." She said while not showing any kind of emotion while Ayan did the same

Both were waiting for Zaim's reaction but he stood there rigid grasping at ever word what Muskan said

It's a yes from her

It's a yes from Sara

It's a yes

Yes

No this cannot happen

Sara cannot marry anyone else...

Once in his senses he looked to see both the girls had already left leaving him and Ayan alone

"What happen bro?" Ayan asked controlling the grin that was about to make his way on his face

"Huh?.. Nothing nothing you go inside I'll be back." With that Zaim dashed towards the parking lot

He hurriedly got inside his car drove somewhere unknown to him as well

Ayan grinned and made his way inside but not before typing something on his phone.

The plan will be twisted but that's how he will accept his feeling for her

All his drive he was just thinking about the words which were like an arrow that had hit him on his heart

He slammed the break and kept his head on the steering wheel

" Sara what are you doing to me?"

On one side where he was restless on the other side Sara was glaring at Muskan for lying

"Why did you lie?" Sara asked crossing her hands on her chest wanting to look scary with the glare and the position she was. But that was muskan we talking about who don't get offended easily!

"Simply." She replied shrugging her shoulders casually while Sara felt like crying on her behaviour. She was about to answer her when her mother interrupted them

"Sara?" On her mother's voice she turned around and looked at her mother who was looking nervous for some reason

What happened now?

"Yes mama?" I asked dreading to hear what she'll say next

"The boy liked you." My mom said an before I could even say anything Muskan yelled

"WHAT????" I turned round and saw her, it was as If she will faint in a second. I kept my hand on her shoulder

"Okay mama. What is your answer?" I asked her while she looked shocked

"What? Beta its your life. You will be the one who have to stay with him. I know I'm your mom but first ask your heart what it wants and then answer to their proposal. We are not forcing anything upon you." My mom said and left while I stood there dumbfounded on her words

"You better reject him." Muskan said and I glared at her

"You were the one who said to them that its a yes. So now I was thinking of that only." I said while muskan was looking at me like i grew two head

"Are you out of mind Sara? Did you see him? That arrogant jerk." Muskan shut her mouth once she saw the glare which I was passing her

Wow I have been glaring too much today

Ignoring her I went and sat beside Aisha di who was giving me worried looks while I smiled at her. Everyone had left except for the close one of Manal's family. We were now sitting in the backyard teasing Manal when I looked around and I found him missing

Suddenly Muskan came in the centre gaining all our attention.

"Listen everyone. In the ceremony one of the aunt asked Sara's mom for her hand. As in she told that let the kids meet, so I Sara and saahil went out when we saw that arro...boy coming." She stopped taking a deep breath while I was thankful to Allah that all the elders were inside

A pindrop silence was surrounding us no one was speaking when the silence was cut off by Ayan bhai

"Than?"

"So now for your kind information the boy has accepted the proposal and guess what..?" She looked around to see anyone answering her or no while Sara sat there ready for the blast that's gonna happen

"She is gonna say yes." Muskan said and while everyone yelled a what except for the one person that was none other than Ayan Khan who was smirking

Noticing his smirk Muskan marched up to him to knock some sense into him while he noticed her coming and gestured her towards her back. Confused she turned around and saw the least expected person standing rigid on his place

Zaim

Not understanding anything she walked up to him and he filled her about his plan while she smiled evilly ready to be part of his plan

Little did they new that their plan will bring a huge twist in their own life making them experience something so pure and so beautiful.....

Everyone were bombarding questions on Sara while she sat in between them looking around for any help. But when she saw that no one is there to help her today, she simply excused herself and turned round to see him standing near the corridor with a hard look plastered on his face

Ignoring him she was making her way towards her room when she heard his voice

"Congratulations." He said and that was enough for Sara to dashed inside her room and pour her heart out

Why is it hurting again?

She questioned herself by keeping her hand on her chest that was paining immensely due to some reason

Not thinking about the pain she made her way towards the washroom to do her ablution. She spread the prayer mat on the floor and started offering salah. Once she was done offering she raised her hands to make Dua

Ya Allah please guide me through this. You Are the best of planners. Please show me the right path. Should I accept this proposal or no? Ya Allah please help me through this.

Zaim made his way towards his room feeling lifeless all of a sudden. Not knowing what to do he made his way towards the washroom. Once he did ablution he started parying his salah once done he got up and made his way towards the balcony that was attached to his room wiping the single drop of tear that had escaped his eye

Unknown to both of them, both of them were lost in their own thoughts looking at the moon that was peeking through the clouds. Even the moon was shining brightly making them think that even he was enjoying their pain which was unknown to her but not him

Both made their way towards their bed and laid down. Thinking about today's event and the twist in their life's, they both drifted to sleep forgetting about the world for few hours......
