Destined for One Another

Destined for One Another(7)

Mahinoor's P.O.V.

Ignoring Rehan, I let Nehmat and Roza pull me into the center to dance with them, I had no idea what the hell was going on with him. All that was happening right now, was. his idea. My idea. was that I ran away and that he could handle everything behind me, makeup any bullshit. story, and run away to New York, to live with his girlfriend.

"What's wrong with him?" Tejo asked me, 

I shrugged my shoulders, "No idea," I responded keeping a smile on my face, "He won't tell me."

"Chodho," Roza said grabbing my hands to dance with her, "Let him be," 

That's the thing, I couldn't just let him be because of the way he was distressed it seemed like something big was about to happen, something that could maybe affect the plan that we made to get out of this. death trap. 

"Yeah," I whispered, 

"Mahi!" Kinza Khala said excitedly grabbing my hand, "You know a lot of these bholiya (folk songs), sing one."

I hesitantly looked over at Amma, who nodded my head urging me to sit down at the dholki and do so, pulling Tejo and Roza down with me so I was not allowed I smiled at Jannah Api as she began to play the dhol once again. 

"Lathe di chadar
(A veil is laid over a spinning wheel)

utte saleti rang mahiya
(There are multiple shades of color on it)

aawo sahmne, aawo sahmne
(Come in front of me) 

I began to sing, clapping my hands together to the beat of the dhol, I looked over at Rehan again, who tensed up as he was looking down at his phone.

kolon di russ ke na lang mahiya"

(Don't leave me with sorrows and pain)

I continue, confused at Rehan's sudden behavioral change. What the hell is going on? I myself began to panic, seeing his panicked state. 

"Channa kandan tun marya e akh we
(Oh dear, you enchanted me with your eyes)

sadde aatee de wich hath we
(You have your hand in my fate)

 Nehmat joined along singing the next verse as she saw me begin to panic. Her gaze followed mine to look over at Rehan, who was staring at the door now. 

Channa dekh ke na sadde wal has we"

(Don't laugh at me seeing my plight)

 Nehmat looked back over at me, furrowing eyebrows in confusion, but what could I tell her when I myself, was confused?  Breathing in sharply, I tried to look away from Rehan, but. as soon as I made an effort he stood up slowly, the color drained from his face, and straining my neck I managed to see what he was looking at. My heart dropped to my stomach. . ."What the hell," I heard Roza whisper, she was sitting closer to the door than I was. . .Alizeh walked through the door alongside another man. What the hell was she doing here?

The room fell silent as Roza, Tejo, and I stopped singing, everyone's eyes drew to the door, where the two strangers were standing for them. "Azlaan Bhai?" Jannah Api said excitedly, rushing to stand up and greet him, "What a surprise!"

The Khan family made their way to greet them, but Rehan turned his back to the two and came towards me grabbing my hand. What is going on in his mind?  Is this what he was so tense about? "Chalo." (Let's go) Rehan said firmly to me, "Milte hain." (Let's go greet them)
