( n.) to avoid something intentionally or to give something up.

"Hayee mera bacha, come sit here ." Azlaan's mother hugged her and pulled her towards where she was seated. She was too stunned to speak, ' How the hell did they even reach here?' there were so many questions in her mind but what could she do?

Someone's burning gaze brought her out of her nightmare land. She looked up to see Zaviyaan looking at her so intently, his gaze made her feel tiny and self-conscious.

"Beta, why don't you talk? aise chup chaap raho I toh nahi chalega." Azlaan's mother again tried to start a conversation with her to which Rooh replied with a subtle smile. She didn't know what to say she was flabbergasted.

Meanwhile, Azlaan gazed upon Rooh with admiration in his eyes; he had never encountered someone of such exquisite beauty. Alternatively, he pondered if her radiance simply overshadowed the presence of everyone else.

Zaviyaan looked away from Rooh because she looked so enchanting that it physically hurt him to stay away from her and while he was diverting his gaze his eyes landed on Azlaan who was practically drooling. And the moment he realised that this bastard was looking at his Rooh, his jaw ticked. He clenched his hands and cleared his throat gaining everyone's attention.

"Dado, what is all this about?" He asked her.

Dado gave him a full-blown smile and dropped the bomb on him making his blood run cold.

"We were discussing your and Anabiya's marriage and then Rooh's parents called telling me that a very good proposal has come for her.'' she stopped looking at Azlaan and chuckled,

''And they have no issues with it since the boy is a gem but they wanted Rooh to decide on her own and our Azlaan here said he wanted to talk to Rooh in person. And he is pretty sure he will be able to convince her to say yes," Zaviyaan loosened his tie in a swift motion, standing up as he marched towards Azlaan.

"So you think that you are worthy enough to marry her?" he asked Azlaan in a menacing voice. Azlaan's parents frowned. But Azlaan gave him a reassuring smile,

"Well, I won't say that since she is the most perfect girl I have ever seen but I can say one thing for sure I will try to be better every day for her and I will do anything to see a smile on her face." he paused turning to look at Rooh.

"If I wanted I would've tried to court her and impress her which is not very difficult since she is too naïve to understand people's intentions but what I feel for her is way more pure than that. I love her to the point where her respect and dignity are way more valuable than my wishes and that's why I want her to give me a chance," he stopped turning back to Zaviyaan.

"I will keep her happy forever."

Rooh was blinking her tears rapidly, each word that came out of Azlaan's mouth made her feel how much of a coward she was. She could never be brave like him, besides what he felt for her and the way he confessed made her heart break for him. Because for her it was either Zaviyaan or no one else. Zaviyaan had ruined her for everyone else.

"I will keep her happy forever.....forever....for.."

something in Zaviyaan snapped he grabbed Azlaan by the collar and threw a punch directly to his face making him wince.

"How dare you come here and say this shit in front of everyone?" Zaviyaan heaved.

Ali, Zafer and Azlaan's father tried to pry them off each other but Zaviyaan had made up his mind, he was going to kill this guy.

Azlaan pulled Zaviyaan by his collar as well but Zaiyaan being taller and stronger was a disadvantage for him.

"Who the hell are you to inquire me when her father has approved?" Azlaan threw a punch on Zaviyaan's face making Rooh whimper. All of the women were just looking at these two with disappointment and worry.

"You know what little kid, I don't care who agreed. You'll marry her, let alone look at her over my dead fucking body. I will kill you with my bare hands if you even think about her." Zaviyaan seethed.

"Who the fuc.." Both of them started throwing punches and after a lot of effort, zafer was able to disentangle them.

Zaviyaan's cheekbone had slit and his lip was bleeding, Rooh ran towards him but before she could do anything Anabiya popped out of nowhere and began dabbing Zaviyaan's lip. Rooh felt a thousand arrows penetrating her heart a whimper left her lips.

Zaviyaan's eyes fell on her and he quickly strode towards her harshly seizing the white roses she had in her hair and throwing them on the floor. He untied her hair harshly, she had taken his breath away in this outfit but knowing that it was meant for someone else his blood was boiling. He grabbed her hand and tugged her towards himself harshly,

"You people are still here ?? Have you got no shame? You want me to call security so that they can toss you out?" Zaviyaan spat at their face and before they could even react he strode towards his room dragging Rooh along with him.

Anabiya and Azlaan looked at both of them with eyes full of longing and frustration.

"Chodein mujhe please, let me go!!" Rooh tried to get her hand out of Zaviyaan's clasp which instead of loosening only Tightened. Rooh winced,

"Please you are hurting me." She cried making Zaviyaan standstill.

He slowly pulled her towards himself and unlocked the door of his room. He gently let go of her hand and peeked at her.

Rooh could see that his sanity was hanging on a thread but she didn't give a damn. He had a fiancé but if she gets a proposal he threatens them with their lives. Why was he doing all this?

"Aapki problem kya hai?" Rooh urged.

"What you talking about baby?" Zaviyaan responded moving towards her and fixing a few strands of her hair.

"Seems like you have a remembrance of a goldfish. Care to elucidate why you terrorized Azlaan..." Before she could finish off her sentence Zaviyaan caged her between himself and the wall. He fondled her cheekbones with the back of his hand. He looked at her like a maniac. His thumb moved towards her lips and caressed the area between her chin and lower lip.

"His name shouldn't come out of this pretty little mouth." he faintly stroked her lower lip making her lips part and her breathing irregular.

"Stop driving me insane, my strawberry."
