Bani was carrying a big platter of sweets when she stopped in her tracks to admire the beautiful bride Noor. The wedding rituals were about to begin. Bani knew all of her pre wedding jitters. Even now she was looking a little restless and hesitant. She had made her "Haven't had a proper night's sleep" face. Bani giggled and then smiled. She was so happy for Noor. Today marks the beginning of Noor's new life. She will be a wife. She will have her own family.

"Tumhe dekh kar aisa lag raha hai Noor ke falaq se chaand khud zameen par utar aayaa hai." Bani spoke to herself.

"Sach kahoon sweet heart? Uss chand se zyada khoobsurat ho tum." Veer whispered in her ear. A shiver ran down Bani's entire being. She thought her heart just stopped beating for a second because of the momentary shock. Where did Veeranshu come from?

"Main Noor ki baat kar rahi hoon." Bani took one step away from him trying to calm herself down. She looked him in the eyes in one moment and looked down in  the other. Those eyes captivated her. The warmth in his eyes invited her to marvel in their simplicity. His eyes held such strength but also a promise. A promise to comfort her. Why is there such honesty in the eyes of someone who is evil? Or is her judgement getting the better of her? Why is she feeling such feelings? She should not. He is an enemy.

"Bilkul, Aankhon mein noor bhi hai, chehre par guroor bhi hai aur mera chand mujhse zara sa  door bhi hai. Agar ijazat do toh main tumhaare kareeb aa jaau, dekho falaq ke chaand ke paas bhi toh sitara hai." Veer smiled so confidently. As if he knows something that she does not.

"Tum jaise dil phenk aashiqon ko bohot dekha hai maine. Abhi bohot betaab ho rahe ho mujhse dil lagaane ke liye lekin thoda sa waqt guzarne do, tumhaare mizaaj bhi badal jaaenge aur shauk bhi." Bani was visibly displeased. She was about to walk away.

Veer extended his arm to stop her. "Main tumhaari raah rok kar apna hi intezaar kar raha hoon sweet heart." Bani's eyes truly gave away everything. They were the mirror of her soul. It was the kind of beauty that expands a moment into a personal eternity, a heaven he wished to be a part of.

"Kya chahiye tumhe Veeranshu?"

"Ladoo" Veer eyed the platter of sweets in her hand. Bani gave him one ladoo from the platter. "Bass ek sahi kaam karne se pehle mooh meetha karna chahta hoon." Bani raised her brow. What does he want to do?

"Noor Beg kya aapko yeh nikaah qubool hai?" The maulavi asked.

"Nikaah qubool karne se pehle sach bolo Noor. Tum mere dost ko dhoke mein nahi rakh sakti Jhoot ki buniyaad pe rishtey nahi judte." Veer interrupted. Everyone's attention was diverted towards Veer. What does he want to do and what truth is Noor supposed to confess?

Noor strained her vocals but nothing came out, she wanted to scream, but she knew no one would hear her. Her worst fears were about to come true. She was gripped in silent panic. Her heart was racing and her brain felt like it seized up. Suddenly, her body wracked with raw sobs and she shook like a leaf. Fright consumed every cell in her body, swelling them with terror. With every second she practically felt the rise of her blood pressure, but she knew that this was the least of her worries.

"Kaisa sach Veer?" Anwar, Noor's to-be husband asked.

"Kal raat Noor mere paas thi, meri baahon mein." Veer announced throwing out Noor's corset from his jacket.
