The groom is welcomed by the bride's family.
The hall is beautifully decorated with flowers and soft lighting. A few guests are seated, waiting for the ceremony to begin. Fahad stood at the front, adjusting his suit.
Laiba, dressed up beautifully , walked down the aisle with a forced smile on her face. Her eyes, however, betraying her true emotions and distress. The guests chattered excitedly. Amidst all this Jiya's eyes are stuck on Zayd.
Fahad extended his hand as Laiba reached the stage. Laiba hesitates but ultimately places her hand in Fahad's.
They proceed together towards the IMAM, who stands ready to officiate their Nikah.
'Laiba, daughter of Amal Malik..with fifteen Lakh do you accept your marriage with Fahad Khan..son of Salim Khan?'
(Kya aapko yeh nikah qubool hai)
The atmosphere is tense as everyone eagerly waits for Laiba's response.
Laiba looked down, her eyes filled with uncertainty. She glanced at her parents and took a deep breath
"Qubool hai" she says.
Kya apko yeh nikah qubool hai?
"Qubool hai"
Qubool hai? Imam asked.
"Qubool hai" She replied.
Zayd's eyes well up with tears, as he struggles to hold back his emotions and leaves from there.
Jiya notices him.
Both sign the Nikah papers.
Laiba's parents and Insia smile looking at them.
Naeema and Sana watch this being envious.
"Aaj Waha tumhe hona chahiye tha.." said Naeema as she stood next to Sana.
Lekin meri kismat Laiba ne cheen li.she says crushing the flowers kept for decoration.
Main bhi dekhti hu yeh kaise khush rahegi. She thought to herself
TIME SKIP
Laiba stood at the entrance of the wedding venue along Fahad.
Her eyes filled with tears as she watches her brother, Sameer, approach her.
Laiba hugged him and cried inconsolably.
Rukhsati is a girl's most bittersweet moment in life.
She hugged Zahra.
"Zayd kaha hai bhabhi?" She asks Zahra which upsets her.
"Woh.. usse kuch kaam tha."
"Abhi iss waqt?!" She replies
Fahad looked at her his brows slightly furrowed.
Zeenat approached her with tears in her eyes, to hug her before the rukhsati.
Laiba saw her coming and turned her face away, anger burning in her eyes. Zeenat's heart broke at her daughter's behaviour. She reached out, trying to touch Laiba's arm, but she pulled away. Laiba then looked at her father and without saying a word to them,
"Chale?" She signed Fahad and turned away.
They leave.
Insia welcomes Laiba, her son's newly wedded wife and her bahu, to their home.
Jiya takes her to Fahad's room. Which is now hers.
The room is dimly lit, adorned with rose petals and scented candles. A bed at the center, covered in silky sheets. Insia leads Laiba to the bed and makes her wear a ghunghat to cover her face.
Fahad enters his room.
Enjoy bhai!..
Jiya teases Fahad while he signals her to leave.
Fahad nervously comes close to Laiba. His heart beating fast. He removes the ghungat from her face only to unveil her face full of upset and anger. Her bloodshot eyes staring at him. She immediately pushed his hand away surprising Fahad.
Mere qareeb aane ki koshish bhi mat karna
Ek baat jaan lo, iss shadi se tumhe kuch nahi milne wala. Naa meri mohabbat naa tumhare haq.
Fahad felt dejected hearing this and walked away from there. Laiba looked at him.
He stepped outside the house, near the pool and sat there looking at the sky, thinking about his life decisions.
FAHAD
Bhaii..aap yaha kya kar rahe hai!??
I heard Jiya.
"Shhh..dheere bolo."
"Lekin aap iss waqt yahan kya kar rahe hai??"
"Woh mujhe neend nahi aa rahi thi." I tried to make up a reason while Jiya bursted out with laughter.
"Apko neend nahi aa rahi?"
"Aaj?"
"Bhai aaj kyun sona chahte ho aap?" she teased.
"Jiya please yeh bakwas band karo.."
I said looking towards the pool.
Maine Laiba se shadi toh kar li..lekin uske dil mein mere liye koi feelings nahi hai. Kya woh kabhi mujhe chahegi? Kahi maine usse shadi karke ghalati toh nahi ki?
These thoughts were making me restless.
"Kya hua bhai?" Jiya asked looking at me concerned.
"Kuch nahi..tum jao..bohot raat hogayi hai.." I said.
"Uh..o..kay." Jiya replied leaving from there.
