Asma's p.o.v.: I was sitting in front of the big authentic dressing table where Sazia was standing beside me and some beauticians were doing my make up, getting me ready for the engagement. Yes! ENGAGEMENT.... I was getting engaged with a complete stranger whom I didn't know. I was thinking about the conversation between me and my mom. FLASH BACK: "Ammi, What is Sazia talking about?"mom didn't say anything. She kept quiet.Sazia felt the awkwardness and left in order to give us a space. "Ammi.."I hold her hand tightly and said, "Sazia is lying to tease me.Right?" "She isn't lying, my doll.She is telling the truth."mom spoke with shivering voice. A thunderbolt striked on me.My throat had dried. "Speak something, dear.I know,you are feeling really horrible.But it is for your wellbeing."she explained. "Ammi...."I couldn't speak further.How could they?I didn't think that they will get me married so soon.Had I become a burden for them? I looked at her eyes.I found guilt in them.Then I realized what I was thinking.They were my parents.They had the right to take any decision for me.If they wanted me to get married so soon.There had to be a valid reason.I knew,how much they love me.How much they care about me. "Ammi, it's absolutely okay.You guys are my well wisher.If you have taken any decision for me ,it has to be for my own good."I replied. The guilt was replaced by joy.I felt relieved to see her happy. She kissed my forehead again and said,"I am so blessed to have a daughter like you.Thank you for believing in your parents." I hugged her again and asked ,"Ammi, why soon?I want to finish my study and then......" I couldn't complete as mom started to cry.I could sense the pain in her voice. "Just believe in Allah, doll. This proposal is really good and Insha Allah dear, you will be happy.They will let you study and also they don't have any problem if you want to do any work in future.Besides, I know your mother in law.She is my childhood bestfriend.She will love you like her own daughter."She explained. Sazia started to patt my shoulder and then I was cut off from my trail of thoughts. "I know, Asu, it is too fast for you and you have not met him for once.Even I am not able to understand that why Hammd uncle and Asra aunty agreed to do the engagement today."Sazia sighed. "I am absolutely fine,Sazu,if ammi and abbu have agreed for this then I also don't have any problem."I stated. "But, isn't it crazy that you're being engaged with somebody whom you don't know at all?What if he is a fat, bald headed man?"Sazia asked with putting up a fake concern on her face. "Don't try to scare me."I mumbled as my throat was already dry. "Lol!look at your face.You are damn scared." "Of course I will.What do you expect?"I scowled. "Okay..Okay..sorry. He is not a bald headed man.Rather, he is a handsome and definitely charming young man. If I hadn't engaged with Riaz ,I definitely would marry Ivan bhai." She simpered . "Have some shame.You are engaged with Riaz bhai.And you are talking about ........"I couldn't speak further as I was interrupted by her."So,someone is jealous."She said. I bit my tongue and said, "No. I am not." "Tell me one thing, why haven't you seen his picture?"Sazia asked me. I wanted to watch but when I learnt that abbu had already agreed for the proposal...I didn't see it .If I didn't like him, I still couldn't deny the proposal as I loved my parents and definitely respect their decision. "I....I ..Actually..."I stammered. "Whatever! I think you want to see Ivan Bhai's pic.I should text Riaz to send Ivan bhai's pic." "No, that is not necessary." "Just shut up and get ready."She went out. I looked at the mirror.I was wearing a purple coloured long dress with full sleeves. They beauticians had done an absolutely nice job with my make up.They had blended the makeup with my wheatish skin perfectly.I was looking pretty. Everything was done.My matching purple hijab was also pinned beautifully.Now, I was only waiting for Sazia when she will come and take me.Suddenly I heard a gunshot. _______________ Third person's p.o.v.: Ivan was standing with Riaz waiting for his love .He was wearing a grey coloured suit which was making him more attractive. (The picture is here to show the outfits only.So, please don't think them as the main characters) His eyes had a fire with passion.He was waiting eagerly." Dude, I don't understand one thing why Zayn bhai told that Asma will be his wife."Riaz asked . "I don't know and I didn't like it."Ivan said controlling his anger.Whenever he thought about it he felt anger running through his veins.But he didn't want to spoil his mood as Asma will be officially his once he will put the engagement ring into her finger.He smiled thinking about it. "Chill bro! When he said it Asma wasn't your fiancee then."Riaz chuckled. "You're finding it funny."Ivan scowled. "No!I just can't believe that my brother has become so possessive about my salisaheeba."Riaz grinned. "And I definitely can't believe how you choose Asma and ended up being her fiance.I mean, you like girls who are bold, sexy and attractive.But my salisaheeba is different.She is shy and religious."Riaz was definitely surprised when he had learnt that Ivan agreed to marry Asma as he knew Ivan since his childhood. "I don't care if she's shy or religious.I know that I like her and want her."Ivan said bluntly. "Look Ivan, I must tell you Asma is really different from you.You have to wait and give her time to adjust with you."Riaz advised him.Riaz knew that Ivan was short tempered and dominating person.He didn't like to hear any refusal. "I will try my level best."Ivan smiled . Their conversation got interrupted by some shoutings and gun shots in the air. "What the f#?"Ivan muttered. Some people who was wearing a black mask and had guns in their hands had barged abruptly in the palace.Everyones eyes were wide open as they looked at them. "Every body who wants to live just freeze in your place.We won't hurt you.Else...."One of them shouted . Everybody became scared.The children were crying terribly.Others stood freeze. Ivan was observing them.A smile twitced on his lips. He gave a hint to some people.Within a second, the masked men were baffled by Ivan's people. Being a business tycoon he had many rivals.He knew that something like this could happen so he had already tightened the security.The security guards were disguised as guests . But one of the masked people shot Hammad.He fall down .Ivan immediately took his gun which he always carried for his safety and shot back at that man.The situation was now under control.Ivan asked Riaz to call the ambulance as fast as possible.Asra was sitting beside holding Hammad's hand.Hammad became unconscious as he lost a lot of blood.Ivan's mom was trying to give her some courage. "Everyone is safe.Right?"Ivan asked. Asra realized that her daughter wasn't there and she knew that she was in danger."Ivan, Asma... She isn't here. Please get her or he will find her."Asra shouted. Ivan finally realized that he left her love unsafe and unprotected.She was alone in the room. Ivan ran towards the dressing room.When he reached there he saw that Asma was lying unconscious while a man in black mask was carrying her in his arms.He didn't notice him as he was busy in escaping.Ivan lost his control. Without any delay Ivan grabbed the man and punched him at his face .The man hissed in pain and lost his balance.Asma was going to fall but Ivan caught her at the right time.The mask guy wanted to escape but Ivan shot in his legs .He fall in the ground and start shouting with pain.Ivan didn't bother to look at him.His all attention was only in Asma. "I am so sorry,baby.I should not have left you alone without any security."Ivan said while caressing her cheeks. Suddenly Ivan remembered Asra's last sentence...."please get her or, he will find her." Ivan thought for a second ."Now, who is this he?Does he want to kidnap my love?"Ivan said to himself. Ivans grip got tightened at the thought and he pulled her more closer to him. "Baby, you don't worry.I won't let anyone come near you."Ivan hold her hand and kissed it. "You are mine and I don't spare them who tries to snatch my things."Ivan smirked and carried her in a bridal style.He had planned for what he would do next. "Baby, soon you are going to be mine"Ivan said and kissed her cheeks. _________________
