Just yesterday, everything was perfect but then....... everything destroyed in a blink,  just few hours had her life destroyed along with her only blood relation admitted in hospital. She's not a least bit worried about her supposed marriage, her only concern is her father's health. Her abba, her only support system was lying on the hospital bed looking pale and lifeless, with wires attached to his body. What would she do, God forbid if anything happens to her abba. Her heart clenched with pain every time she looked at his weak state. she sniffed and kissed his hand as he tried to explain to her, his point.

She was dressed in her mehendi outfit from last night, a lime green embroidered gharara that had a plush tangerine bridal dupatta, decked in hand embellishment and gota work
with pearl jewelry, her long hair in fishtail braid with some locks of hair framing her face. Eyes and nose red because of all the crying she did since last night but that didn't deter her beauty. she was feeling uncomfortable wearing a heavy outfit in this tensed situation but she hadn't had the time to change her dress as suddenly her abba fainted in the middle of the function. they had immediately rushed her father to the hospital afterwards.

Sitting in front of her ailing abba while holding his hand for moral support, Sayra gazed at him with tear filled eyes. She hadn't thought in her wildest dreams that her nikah would concluded in these circumstances, where her only family, her aba will be confined in a hospital bed with tubes and machines attached to his body. It's not a wedding where the bride will be dressed in the finest of clothes and jewelry, smiling shyly at the teasing comments made by her friends but it's more like a sacrifice where no one's happy, not her at least. How can she be happy about the whole situation. How could she marry anyone when her father is unwell. He is in the hospital for God's sake. How could Sarfaraz uncle say something so unthinkable. But she was wrong to assume that Sarfaraj uncle had made this decision. It's her father who was adamant to get her married anyhow with Sarfaraj uncle'son who is practically a stranger to her. Sure they are connected because of their father is cousins and best friends since diaper days but that's the thing. She had heard his name from her abba that he is a big businessman and sometimes Sarfaraj uncle also had took his name that he has anger issues but she didn't met him even once in her life.

She didn't want to get married now but she is doing this only for her abba who was adamant to not go for his surgery if she wouldn't do this nikah. She hadn't saw the man with whom she would be nikahfied nor she is interested.

Sayra wiped her father's tears and She couldn't help but recalled the past of which circumstances made her took this hasty decision for her life without thinking about her future.

Flashback:

It's been a month since her wedding got fixed with Zuneira phupho's nephew. Her abba was happy and satisfied that his little doll will live in the same city. Yesterday night was her henna ceremony. she wasn't as happy as a bride should be but looking at her father's happy face she was feeling content. but the happiness was short lived. She was enjoying the function where her friends were singing and dancing the famous bollywood songs when suddenly her father fainted after hearing that the groom and his family was fraud. The boy was already married and it was his second marriage. he wanted to establish his business with her abba's money as they were facing losses since two years. they had thought that she is her father's only child so her father would give them hefty amount in dowry so they will overcome from the losses with that money. He also wanted a property from her father which her abba owns. Zuneira phupho knew everything but she hadn't told her father. It's a family friend who told Mansoor sahab everything as he happens to be the girl's uncle whose husband was going to marry Sayra without her permission. He was already a heart patient and after knowing everything he fainted because of stress for his only daughter's future.
