Sultaan's suha

Author's pov

Ratna entered the hall with her face covered the antendees behind her all the eyes were on her , and her eyes lashes were moving around to find her hukum sa whom she find staring her with all the love in the world , her heart raced like sikandar and a beautiful smile formed on her lips
She reached the  center and ranjeet helped her get climb her stair all the eyes adored them , some even did the gesture of taking off the evil eyes but a pair of eyes was staring at them with broken dreams and all his hopes shattered

" Bhaijaan aaph hukum de toh inki lashe bichake unhe le jai"

" Zubaan par kabu rakho faizal vo koi bakri ka baccha nahi hai ki le lai , aur noor dekho unki chehre par lagta hai tumhe unke sath zabardasti ki gyi hai?" He replied to his brother who were noticing his sadness

" Chehra dhik kaha raha inhe jo noor dhik gaya " he mumbled and sultan shot his glared

" Humari nazro se dhekho unki khushi dikehgi " he said in a low voice staring at his suha
