Shahmeer's siren eyes mets Mahenoor's doe eyes. He was shocked to know that the girl for whom he had come to end this relationship is none other than The same girl. On the other hand, she was also shocked to see him sitting with everyone, she guessed that This man was none other than Shahmeer.

See, she has arrived, Mahe's mama said.
"Mahe jaan... Come to your kaka sarkar, my beloved daughter." Dilawar (Shahmeer's Baba) said and flashed a big grin. She greets everyone then went & sat in between her Kaka Sarkar and Maa Sarkar, Shahmeer was sitting right in front of her amd was constantly watching her without blinking.

How's your health Kaka Sarkar? She placed her hands on his and inquired worriedly.
I'm alright, beta. Now you have to take care of me as I'm going to make you My daughter. And daughters take care of their fathers, Isn't it? He blissfully asked.

Yes, but I was always your daughter nahh.. She complained like a child. You always
were and always will be but now it's different, you'll stay with us in Bangalore like our daughter, He explained. Okay okay.. enough of this father daughter drama, Maa sarkar said dramatically. Everyone burst out laughing except Shahmeer.

"Then when should we take our daughter?Sulaiman" Dilawar asked. Mm.. Mahe's exams are about to start, once they're over, we should keep the date after that, Sulaiman (her father) answered. "I think the date should be kept after Two months as we have to do lots of preparation" her mama suggested. When are your exams ending? Mahe, her Maa sarkar enquired. It will end after a month, she quizzed.

"Okay, then the marriage will be held after a month." Shahmeer spoke for the first time in this entire conversation and his words had stunned everyone. He realized that his words might sound very shameless, (as his family had backward thinking) so he extended his sentence further, "I have to go to New York after One month and I'll be back after Two months, If till then you guys can wait then it is okay."

(But there's nothing like that in reality, he just wants to marry her as soon as possible.)

Everyone became happy with Shahmeer's consent and then decided that the
wedding will take place after a month and the engagement before her exams.

Now they were allowed to talk alone. So
they were both sitting at a table on the lawn.

On one side he was sitting completely expressionless face & on the other side She was sitting as nervous as a cat in a dog pound. There was complete silence, No one spoke for a moment. "I hate you and as far as I know, you think the same about me Nor do I wants to marry you." She starts the conversation timidly. "Oh I see.. Your boyfriend must be very lucky, because of him you're not marrying me", He responded, shrugging off his heavy jacket.
No, I don't have a boyfriend, she looked towards him and prompted a swift response.

His lips curled into a smirk while licking his lower lips he said, "bas yahi pata karna tha."
(He was asking so that if a boy is present in her life, he could kill him)

Mahe's eyes went to his lips, His lips, Looked so kissable, he's affecting her so badly. She diverted her gaze. She felt her cheeks turning crimson red, while hiding her face, she retorted. "Whether there is anyone in my life or not. It's not your issue."

"This is my issue..Mohtarma, Aur agar mujhe pata chala ki aap kisi ke sath involved hai toh 'khuda ki kasam' mai us se uski saanse cheen lunga." He gritted his teeth & warned her while staring her intensely.
(And if I come to know that you are involved with someone, I swear to God I will take his breath away from him.)
