Main or Tum

Arhaam is back!!

In a dimly lit room decorated with candles and rose petals, Sadia made Ayesha sit on the bed. She then sat next to her.

"I know, beta, that you married him because of me, but meri jaan, I promise you that I will not let Nabeel misbehave with you. I will always protect you and Zahra," Sadia said while kissing her forehead. In the meantime, Zahra also entered the room and sat on the bed.

"But beta, this is a very important part of your life. Marriage is a very delicate relationship. You can't break it off over small things. I know Nabeel may have told you that he doesn't like you and that he may have had feelings for Sana, but trust me, he is lying when he says he doesn't like you. Let me show you something... Actually, no. It's fine. Now you rest; he's probably coming now," she said, kissing Ayesha's forehead. Both of them made their way out of the room.

Five minutes after they left, Nabeel entered. He came and sat next to Ayesha. All of a sudden, she lifted her veil. Nabeel was shocked; it was so sudden that he flinched.

"What did you think? That I was going to sit here and wait for you? Hmm. You are really delusional. Hahahaha," she said sarcastically while getting up. Nabeel was stunned by her beauty.

"I have a gift for you," Nabeel told Ayesha, who was entering the bathroom.

"I don't think you wanted to give me that gift, so it's better if you keep it and give it to the one you wanted in your life the most," she told him and went inside the bathroom.

Nabeel was left heartbroken, but he decided to speak. "I know I have hurt you a lot in the past, and I will try my best to give you a better and more loving life. I am sorry for all the pain I have caused you. But there was never a time in my life when I didn't care about you. The only reason I liked Sana was that it was an act of rebellion against my parents. I hated the fact that you and I got married when we were young and not smart enough to make our own decisions. I never disliked you; I even feel possessive of you. However, I wanted to hurt my parents a little. Otherwise, I had no intentions towards Sana, as I knew Ayaan liked her. This is also why I never told Sana about my feelings. I even went ahead and told you that I don't like you because you didn't have a problem with their decision to get us married when we were young," Nabeel tried to explain.

"Are you done? Because I'm very tired and would like to freshen up. Also, give me the gift; otherwise, phupho will ask me in the morning, and I don't want anyone to know what happens inside our room. But outside, we will pretend to be a happy couple. I still don't know how long it will take for me to accept you as my husband," Ayesha said and closed the bathroom door on his face. He knew he had made a big mistake by including Ayesha in all this.

Nabeel knew he had a long way to go, so he also went to change his clothes.

They both returned and slept on each side of the bed with pillow walls in between.

The Walima went well. The function was grand. Ayaan and Sana looked happy with each other, which made Ayesha really happy for them. However, there was still a wall of misunderstandings between them. Sofiya and Saif were cheerful but still fighting on the stage. Their bickering made everyone in the banquet hall laugh.

A day after the Walima, Arhaam returned, which made Zainab emotional and cry a lot. Zainab hugged him for literally ten minutes and went home with him right away. She stayed in his arms the whole time and stayed in bed, as she did not want to leave them alone.

"Arhaam, why were you so late? Apko pata hai kitnay ajeeb ajeeb khayal a raha they. Main pareshan ho gayi thi. Ab ap itni der ke liye gaye toh mein naraz ho jaon gi," Zainab said while still in his arms on the bed. Due to her pregnancy, Zainab was getting emotional and touchy with Arhaam.
