As I finished getting ready for Noor and Ahaan's official engagement I heard the clink of shoes again, so I finally got frustrated and started walking to my bedroom door from the living room. We had moved to Azaan's penthouse in the city. Before I did anything the door turned open and I was immediately engulfed in a hug. "Azaan move!" I said quickly getting out of his grip as Ahaan watched us with an annoyed expression.

"So long to get ready Azaan? Is it my engagement or yours?" Ahaan asked looking at his watch impatiently.

"Why are you back here again?" Azaan sighed watching the intruder who ruined our moment.

"Dua bhabi you look gorgeous but if you don't mind I need to steal your husband for a few moments. Ahaan said dragging Azaan to other room.

Well I did kind of mind, he had been stealing my husband all week. Now I know what Alizeh meant by Ahaan being her competition. This had been going on all week. He was nervous about the engagement yet at the same time he was completely stubborn that he would get engaged to Noor and with that he had been driving his brothers, crazy mainly Azaan because Zain had become mute since Alizeh left and Kabir- well there was something wrong with him.

Last week Ahaan spent five hours sitting in front of me and Azaan as he sat in the spot searching for Noor's dream ring on her Pinterest.

I left Ahaan with Azaan and went to Noor's place as I would go to the venue with her. Shayra was supposed to meet us here but she had gone off to some supposed secret work.

"How does it feel?" I asked Noor. But that was my mistake, she spent the entire time ranting about how she hates Ahaan which we both knew were lies.

As I entered the venue with Noor, my eyes fell on the Aziz family. I guess I can't run away from them forever. But that didn't take away any of the anxiety I had.

I stood on one side waiting for Shayra to arrive when I felt a hand tap on my shoulder. "Dua have you thought about what you guys are going to do?" It was Azaan's mom.

I quickly greeted her and dreaded to answer the question but it to my luck I was saved as the engagement ceremony began and everyone had to go near the stage.

Last week, while my family completely disowned me. Azaan's family had given us an ultimatum that they were ready to forgive everything and accept it if only we could keep our marriage secret for a while so that their reputation isn't tarnished. Until then they wanted my family to apologize and they were ready to move on and properly hold our wedding reception and extend hands. However, I knew my family would rather die than apologize.

As the ceremony ended, I suddenly heard some familiar voices and froze in my spot. I turned around to find my parents. They were good friends with Noor's family yet I hadn't excepted them to show up. I don't know when Azaan came up to me and entangled his hands with mine. I doubt his family would approve of that but it was the least of my worries for now.
