"Why don't you want to marry me?" Adil asked in astonishment.

"I need to talk to you alone," Rumaisa said, prompting Adil to glare at Zehra and the maulvi, who then left the room.

"Tell me," Adil asked gently, looking at her with love.

"Why are you doing all this?" Rumaisa asked.

"Because I love you, and I can't bear to see you in a forced or painful relationship," Adil expressed his feelings.

"But I don't love you. Can you really live your whole life without love?" Rumaisa questioned.

"I love you so much that it will be enough for both of us for a lifetime," Adil said with a smile, and Rumaisa agreed to the marriage.

When the maulvi asked Rumaisa again, she finally answered, "Yes, I accept."

"I accept."

"I accept."

Rumaisa had no idea how happy Adil was. After years of love, he had finally won her, and for him, it felt like a thirsty wanderer finding water in the desert.

**************************************
Fardan had called Ahmed and asked him to find out about Faiza. Ahmed had set all his men to search for her.

Everyone was sitting worried. Fardan, too, was sitting on the sofa, looking at Faiza's picture on his phone.

Adil brought Rumaisa home. She was dressed in her wedding attire, and Adil was holding her hand as they walked in.

"What is all this, Adil?" Azra asked in surprise as she saw them, drawing everyone's attention to her.

When Fardan looked up, he was also shocked. Adil told everyone what had happened at Rumaisa's house. Ayesha and Azra took Rumaisa upstairs.

Everyone felt deeply sorry for Rumaisa's condition. Fardan was furious with Zehra because he had always considered her a good mother, but he was completely wrong. Rumaisa was like Ayesha to Fardan, which is why he had given her a place among his special people. Given her father's sacrifice for Fardan's parents, it was only right that Fardan cared for her, which is why he had always been concerned for her.

Because of Faiza's disappearance, everyone was very upset, so there were no celebrations for Adil and Rumaisa's wedding. After the nikah, everyone fell silent. Adil and Rumaisa's walima also didn't take place. Hadi had returned abroad with his family, and he hadn't mentioned Adil's wedding to Faiza.

"Doctor... Call the doctor quickly. My son has regained consciousness," Furqaan was overjoyed.

"I..I.." Shamsher tried to say something but couldn't speak.

The doctor checked him and said that he could go home in two weeks, but he would need to rest completely for a month. Any kind of stress or discomfort could send him back into a coma because his brain was still weak. Due to the surgery, he had lost his memory, so he needed to be reminded of everything. After the doctors thoroughly checked Shamsher, they instructed the nurse about some medications and then left. Furqaan sat beside his son, looking at him.

"Who are you?" Shamsher asked.

"I am your dad, son," Furqaan said with a smile.

"Dad... where is my mom?" Shamsher's question pierced Furqaan's heart.

"Son, your mother..." He hesitated, remembering the doctor's warning not to cause Shamsher any distress.

"Where is my mom?" Shamsher asked again.

"Do you remember Fardan?" Furqaan asked.

"No.. Is he my brother?" Shamsher asked, making Furqaan laugh.

"No, he's not your brother. I just asked," Furqaan replied with a smile.

"But dad..." Before Shamsher could finish his sentence, Furqaan's phone rang.

It was Shamsher's phone, which Furqaan had with him. Furqaan knew that Shamsher had no friends, and only Furqaan, Kareem, and Shamsher's uncle had his number. Seeing an unknown number, Furqaan stared at it in surprise.

*Assalamualaikum,* a girl's voice came through, making Furqaan look at Shamsher in astonishment.

"What's the matter, dad? Who's calling?" Shamsher asked, seeing his father's puzzled face.

*Walekum assalam... Who is this?* Furqaan asked.

*Is this Saif Sultan's phone?* The girl on the other end asked, making Furqaan look at his son.

*Yes... Do you need something from Saif?* Furqaan asked sternly.

*Yes, he has been upset with me for a long time, so I wanted to talk to him.* The girl's words left Furqaan in disbelief because he thought his son had never spoken to a girl in his life. He would always avoid girls.

*He is unwell right now. I will let you talk to him in a few days.* Furqaan ended the call immediately after finishing his sentence.

"Who was that call for, dad?" Shamsher's question brought Furqaan back to reality.

"No, son, it was nothing. Just rest and get well soon," Furqaan said, lovingly running his hand through Shamsher's hair.

"Why did you leave your husband?" Since morning, Ruqayya had asked Faiza this question several times.

"Just wanted to see how it feels to stay away for a few days," Faiza replied, feeling frustrated.

"Why?" Ruqayya asked.

"Because I've gotten used to him, and to break that habit, I want to stay without him," Faiza herself didn't understand what she was saying.

"Getting used to someone is a good thing, right..." Ruqayya said, but Faiza just smiled and walked away.

"Getting used to someone is good, but I'm afraid I might fall in love with the person who hates me," Faiza whispered to herself.

Faiza had made all these assumptions without listening to Fardan. She believed that Fardan still hated her and was only pretending to love her to take revenge for her father's death.

**************************************
Azra had a dress made for Rumaisa because they couldn't celebrate the wedding with much pomp. As Azra had instructed, Rumaisa was dressed like a bride, sitting in the room, unaware that no one had told her about Faiza's disappearance.

Rumaisa sat on the bed, thinking about everything that had happened to her today. She was very happy and kept thanking Allah in her heart for sending Adil to save her at the right moment.

She didn't know when or how, but she had fallen in love with Adil, and today's actions had completely won her heart. The boy who always ran away from fights and bloodshed had done all this for her today. She sat there, feeling very fortunate, with a smile on her face.

"Is everything okay?" Adil asked as he entered.

"Yes," Rumaisa could only say this with her eyes lowered in shyness.

"If you need anything or feel any discomfort, just tell me or Ayesha," Adil said with a smile before taking his pillow and going to sleep on the sofa.

"Why are you sleeping there?" Rumaisa asked.

"Because I know you don't love me, and I want to give you some time to accept this relationship in your heart. You can sleep comfortably in your place," Adil said, closing his eyes without looking at her, and then fell asleep. 

Rumaisa just stared at him in amazement.
