Teri ek jhalak ne hame betaab karke rakh diya,

Humne tumhe apni mahram bana ke rakh diya.

She said grabbing her hands again "Hum apne bade bete shahwaiz ke liye aapki beti ke haat maangna chahte hain" As the words left her mouth, everyone was silent for a millisecond
(We want to ask for your daughter's hand for our elder son Shahwaiz)

"Umeed hai aap ko koi etraaz nahi hai" Humshad said with a polite smile
(Hope you don't have any objections)

A smile broke upon everyone's face as khurram told "nahi hame koi etraaz nahi hai bas ezzah raazi hai toh phir hum bhi khush hai!...... Ezzah?" Khurram called his precious daughter
(No, we don't have any objection, if ezzah is ready with it then we are too, ezzah?)

Ezzah was stunned, shocked, confused would be an understatement of the day, she looked at amara who look shocked as well. Ezzah asked amara in eye contact, did she heard the same as her? and in return amara nodded her head and they both looked at aariz for triple check

Aariz saw their looks and immediately understood what they are asking as he rolled his eyes and nodded conforming them and motioned ezzah to speak

Ezzah looked at khurram whose face is adorning with smile that can reach his eyes but his eyes are asking for her consent, she looked around and notice everyone is looking at her

"I.....I will think about it" Ezzah said but she is not sure what she just uttered, she is damn confused

what is happening here? Are they really talking about my marriage? Marriage? Ah..i don't even want to get married in first place, wait! With..with shah..no, no way.... ezzah's mind ran wild

Ezzah abruptly looked at shahwaiz who is already staring at her, she scrunched her eyebrows at him

What is she even thinking?, isn't she suppose to not look at me due to shyness? But instead she is glaring at me like I did some crime? Wow.... Shahwaiz thought

"Beta, agar tum chahte ho toh jaake baat kar sakte ho" Radwah begum said with a sweet smile
(If you two want to talk then you can)

Finally... He is waiting for this moment God know when, he so wanted to talk to her and threaten her for not marrying him, as he planned before agreeing for this, he was about to get up with his eye's fixed on her when...

Ezzah was confused as she looked at her father asking him what are they talking about? But in return khurram nodded with a smile permitting her and that's when the senses knocked down on her head as she understood what they are indicating her

"No....no I'm good" She quickly said looking at her hands, what is the need for talking, when she doesn't even want to marry him?

What? What is happening? Did she said NO? Did he just missed a chance to threaten her? Shahwaiz was baffled as he leaned back on couch again

'You think she will be threatened by you? No way!' His instinct jabbed at him

'Oh come on, you are suppose to encourage me!' he scolded his consciousness

"Wo yaha rakh do" Rabia begun said to the maid who is holding a tray of delicacies standing at the doorway
(Put it here)

"Kuch khao beta" Radwah begum said to shahwaiz who seems to lost in his thoughts
(Take something son)
