Love's Unforseen Twist

37

Rehan's heart sank as he stood there, feeling a mix of betrayal and jealousy. He couldn't believe that Sarah, the love of his life, was now engaged to Kashan, and that his own cousins had seemingly forgotten about him and that kashan who he considered his friend was his lover's fiance. The realization hit him hard, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and sadness.

Meanwhile, Kashan was also taken aback by the revelation that Rehan was Sarah's cousin. Memories of their childhood days flooded his mind, memories of a bitter bond with Sarah that he had long tried to forget. He couldn't believe that the person he considered a friend was actually his childhood friend and now his fiancée's lover.

As Rehan made his way out, his emotions were in turmoil. He couldn't bear to see Sarah and Kashan together, knowing that he had lost her. The pain was too much to bear, and he needed time to process everything that had happened.

Kashan, on the other hand, stood there in disbelief, unsure of what to say or do. He never intended to come between Rehan and Sarah, and now he found himself caught in the middle of a complicated situation. He looked at Sarah, his eyes filled with confusion and regret. "I didn't know," he finally managed to say, his voice barely a whisper.

Sarah, her eyes welling up with tears, reached out to Kashan, her hand trembling. "I never wanted things to turn out this way," she said softly, her voice filled with sadness. "I never meant to hurt anyone."

Inaya and the others, who had been watching the scene unfold, approached Sarah and Kashan, their expressions filled with concern. "Are you both okay?" Inaya asked, her voice filled with worry.

Sarah's heart felt heavy as she walked away, her mind consumed with thoughts of Rehan. She didn't say anything, but her cousins could sense something was wrong. Sensing her distress, Sarah gathered her courage and said, "Let's go home."

Saad, who was going with them, noticed Rehan going the other way. "Rehan Bhai? What is he doing over here?" Saad asked, his curiosity piqued. The others turned, curious as well, but dismissed it as their own imagination.

Sarah didn't care about their curiosity. She just wanted to be away from the situation. Kashan felt a pang of guilt for Sarah, knowing that their families had tied them together. He would happily let her go back to Rehan if that's what she wanted.

Kashan couldn't help but feel shocked by Rehan's revelation. He wondered if Rehan had feelings for Sarah too, or if it was just her. The curiosity was eating at him.

Meanwhile, Sarah sat alone in her room, consumed by sadness. She knew deep down that Rehan didn't love her. She felt guilty for Kashan, even though he didn't love her either. After all, they were engaged, and he had every right to be upset. But today's events were not her fault.He wasn't just her fiancé, but also her best friend. She couldn't bear the thought of hurting him. Even though Kashan didn't love her, she couldn't bring herself to start a relationship based on deception. She longed to move forward, to let go of any lingering feelings for Rehan and find her own path.  It was the circumstances that brought them together.

The house was filled with excitement as Khan and Ibrahim's families prepared for Sarah and Kashan's haldi ceremony. The vibrant yellow outfits illuminated the entire home, reflecting the joyous atmosphere of the occasion. Inaya couldn't help but compliment Sarah, saying, "Sarah, just look at yourself. You look so beautiful." Sarah blushed and smiled, feeling the warmth of her friends' compliments.

Inaya's comment sparked a teasing spree among the rest of the group. Adeeba, Laiba, and Anabia joined in, playfully teasing Sarah about her rosy cheeks and bashful demeanor. Their light-hearted banter echoed through the house, creating an air of merriment. However, amidst the cheerful laughter, one person distanced herself from the scene.
