The next day, Arhaan and Ayzal met for lunch, discussing their next steps. Arhaan proposed a plan, suggesting Ayzal tell her father she wants to study abroad and that they could get engaged, only for Ayzal to date someone else once they're overseas. "It's a great idea!" Arhaan exclaimed.

"Great idea? Really, Arhaan? My father is already suffering, and you want me to leave him alone in this situation?" Ayzal responded, visibly upset. Embarrassed, Arhaan asked if she had a better solution.

Recognizing the delicate nature of the situation, they decided to proceed with the engagement to avoid causing further stress to Ayzal's father.

On the day of the engagement, Ayzal looked radiant in a striking pink dress, a white flower accentuating her hair. Meanwhile, Arhaan, dressed in a blue coat adorned with a crown badge and a heavy watch, was the center of attention.

Despite the joyous atmosphere, both the bride and groom felt a weight on their shoulders. After the event, Ayzal's father pulled Arhaan aside to discuss Ayzal's well-being.

"Ayzal is not like other girls. Her mother's death traumatized her, leaving her with sleepless nights and nightmares. I've worked hard to bring her back to life, but this cancer news is affecting her again. I trust you, Arhaan. You're the only one who can comfort her during her panic attacks," Uncle confided.

Arhaan remembered a time when Ayzal had a panic attack, and uncle is out of country he is the one Uncle called at that time when she is scared only Arhaan after her father can make her clam again he reassured Uncle, "I promise you, Uncle."

Suddenly, Arhaan noticed Ayzal signaling him from the kitchen. Uncle, sensing Arhaan's nervousness, and said I think you should get a glass of water. Uncle said with smile Arhaan, feeling embarrassed, headed towards the kitchen.

"What's wrong now, Ayzal? Is Dad talking to you about the marriage?" Arhaan asked.

"Don't agree to Sunday's wedding date, Arhaan. Tell him we need more time. Five years, at least," Ayzal pleaded.

"He's already set the wedding for this Sunday," Arhaan revealed.

"What? I can't do this, Arhaan. Please don't do this," Ayzal cried, tears streaming down her face as she stormed off.

Later that night, Ayzal sought out her father, finding him reading a book in his room. "Dad, I respect your decision, but I'm not ready for marriage," she began tearfully.

"I know everything, my princess. Don't you trust me? He promised me he'd always be there for you," Uncle reassured her.

"I feel like a burden to him, Dad. He can't say no to you, so he says yes to everything," Ayzal protested.

"Do you trust your dad?" Uncle asked softly.

"Yes, but..." Ayzal started.

"Then go to sleep," Uncle interrupted, offering her comfort in his presence.
