KHALID MIRZA P.O.V
" What he is the groom " her soft voice rang inside my head .
Even though I did not see her face, I can surely tell by her voice that she was disgusted by me .
Not that I care but how dare she ... I despise people like her . They are good for nothing , she is good for nothing . If this so-called marriage won't be important I would have rejected that girl solely because of her judgemental sister.
Staring ahead of the dark road only seen by the front light , her words rang inside my head again and again. My knuckles went white as I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. I don't know why one sentence bothered me so much . No one spoke good about me before but it never bothered my heart so much then why her .
" Khalid " , my best friend's voice , snapped me out of my thoughts .
" You okay brother " his eyes were on my hand which almost turned white .
I relax my muscles
" Ahem I am fine " I said curtly , I am seriously in no mood to talk .
" You really see yourself marrying her " Osman questions irk my inner beast .
I punched the brake so hard that his head would have slammed on the front but sadly saved by seatbelt .
" What The Hell Is Wrong With You " anger was evident in his voice .
" Ask yourself, " I seethed angrily .
Turning straight I start the car ....
'' She is not right for you, " I heard him mumble .
Like I care .
" And the abaya girl is for you, " I snapped back .
" Where the hell did she come from ??" His tone was clearly filled with fury .
" Oh come on " I turn the steering wheel harsly .
" I saw you the way , you were stealing glances on her way "
" Dude , you didn't even saw her face " I stop the car in front of our house .
Turning my full attention toward him " what if she is ugly ??? She was standing there like a ghost covered in something black " I snickered disgusted .
" She was not looking attractive at all, " I added .
There was a complete silence. Osman was quiet for some time, staring at me like a creep .
" What !" I snap feeling irritated .
" Do you even know why she was wearing an abaya ??" His questions made my eyebrows lowered in confusion .
" Why ?"
" You said she looks unattractive ! Well dude that was main point of her wearing that to hide her beauty from men like us "
" Men like us ?" I repeat his sentence feeling offended .
" Yes Khalid Mirza men like us "
" How many women you have approached in club , just because they look attractive and now please don't tell , you had a nice intention toward them , you approach them because of their beauty , use them for your own pleasure and threw them from your life like they meant nothing "
" They didn't know your intentions , they fell for your sweet words , do you know how many hearts you must have broken , did you even care ? No ! You don't Khalid Mirza "
" But Allah Almighty does and ordered women to cover themselves to protect them from men like you "
" Men like you won't approach a women like Amira because you can't see her beauty but men who have nice intention toward , who want to give her respect , who doesn't care about beauty but character who respectfully want to marry her will "
" And I will ask her hand respectfully from her father because I knew a woman who fears her lord will be good life partner for me "
His blazing eyes snap away from mine , turning his back he opens the door and slam it shut loudly .
I slam my hand on the steering wheel angrily .
" She will be nothing but a big embarrassment , I will never marry a woman like her " I bare my teeth staring ahead with a raging fire burning inside me .
AMIRA SULTAN P.O.V
" Abbu I am sorry but he is not the right person for Zainab " the moment all the guests were gone I couldn't help but raise objections for this alliance .
" You spoke again , how many times I have to tell you to stay out of my business " Zainab was inches away attacking me .
I glanced at my father who was sitting on the couch with his head between his both hands while Ammi just started my way . I don't know whether she is angry just like Zainab or I don't know .
Taking a deep breath I hold Zainab shoulder firmly " listen to me Zainab , a man with no imaan ( faith ) can never make you happy "
She jerk my hand harsly " why I have this feeling you are just getting jealous of me "
" I mean of course you will be jealous " she smirks .
I raised my eyebrows , surprised .
I am seriously jealous !!!
" I mean he is handsome , rich -" she was about to count on her finger .
" Seriously " I cut her off .
" Are you serious Zainab ! "
" That man smoking cigarettes right outside our house and here you are counting his wealth " I am absolutely shocked at her choice of words .
" So everyone smokes nowadays, it's common " she shrugged casually .
This girl is so frustrating that I wanted to bang my head on the wall .
" Zainab ! Her saying are right , that man is no good " my eyes widen in surprise , for the first time in my life Ammi took my side .
Did a miracle happen ??
Am I dreaming ??
" Zubair I cannot let my daughter marry someone like him , please do something " Ammi kneels down in front of Abbu , her voice breaking in the end .
Oh so this is the reason she was crying so badly that day .
" But Ammi -" Zainab tried to intervene " SHUT UP JUST SHUT UP " Zainab flinched at Ammi's harsh tone toward her .
" I WON'T LET THAT MAN MARRY YOU ! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ? " Her raised, determined voice sent chills down my spine while Zainab stood speechless .
This was the first time I saw her shouting at Zainab .
No one ate today except Samiya , so I forced her to eat something .
Laying on my bed I stared at the ceiling clueless .
How can a man fall so low ??
How can he make a deal of a pure sacred bond?
I wanted to say bad things about him but the only thing my mouth uttered was " May Allah the exalted guide him " I don't know why I uttered these words for him but I realised if I say bad for someone then what's the difference between me and others .
" So you are saying that man is a Mafia and blackmailing your father " Seher stuffed another fries in her mouth while I told her everything that had happened in the past few days .
" Yeah " I sigh, feeling tired . I couldn't sleep for the past few days. It was heartbreaking to see Abbu. He is really worried about Zainab. She is naive and does not understand the situation .
" Have you guys ever heard of POLICE ??". She raised her eyebrows .
My eyes widened " WOW Seher what a brilliant idea " I clap happily " why didn't we think this before " I pretended to think .
She rolled her eyes " fine , sorry don't have to be so sarcastic "
There was a sly smile playing on her lip .
" What are you smiling at ?" I smack her hand lightly .
She stuff another fries in her Seher style " you guys are getting so worried and you dear queen sister flying high in the sky daydreaming about her groom "
" Your delusional sister must be imagining a queen's life with 8 or 9 servants chasing her left and right, " she laughed .
" Hey don't say that " I scolded .
" Why not , she always says horrible things about you " she snapped frowning .
" I don't care what she does, I care what I am doing and backbiting is wrong " I tried to correct her .
" Oh my goody two shoe Amira , you are too innocent for this world " she pinch my cheek while I smack her hand away .
" On a serious note , I am really worried about Zainab. " I tried to tell her my fear .
" Then you marry him "
" WHAT !" I didn't realise my voice got so high that all the other teachers in the staff room looked our way .
" Sorry " I mouthed feeling embarrassed then glared at the culprit who was laughing with no shame .
" I hate you " I mumbled grumpily while walking out of the staff room .
No knowing what is written in my destiny .....

Precape - "where is she ?" Khalid's thunderous voice booms in the room .
" She eloped away, " my father said fearfully .
" Is that so? " he took a threatening step toward my father .
" Please - please leave my father " I stood between them folding hands .
There was a complete silence ...
" Zubair started the ceremony , I will marry this girl " His words felt like a lightning bolt fell on my head .
"NOW !"
