"It was necessary to talk about divorce because this relationship has come to that brink.... That day Waqas came to my office, his sister is asking for Alina's hand in marriage for her son. Wo janti hai ki Alina aur Rayan ka Nikah ho chuka hai lekin... Nikah ko do saal ho gaye ab tak rukhsati nahi hui ,
Because of this, Waqas's sister says that he should get this divorce done and get Alina married there."
"What?" Zainab was surprised
"When Rayan went to UK on the second day of marriage, this thing was not hidden from anyone, even though we tried a lot to hide it, but still some people came to know, now relatives are making up stories"
"Relatives will always make excuses but we should make Ryan understand..."
"No, this time the decision will be in her hands but whatever it is has to be done as soon as possible. "
" Hum us bachchi ko Rayan ke naam se baithakar nahi rakh sakte..... It will be unfair to her. If tomorrow Rayan asks her to leave him, then we will have to think about Alina's future as well." Shamir said
" You are right " Zainab agreed
" Hey, it is Waqas and his family who are keeping quiet till now, otherwise if it was someone else who knows what he would have done till now "
"After Rayan left, on your insistence, I told everything to Waqas Bhai and Mahira that this marriage was not with Rayan's consent, but still they gave this relationship a chance on my insistence." Both of them remained silent for some time.
"Good morning", Rayan who was standing there and had heard their entire conversation said while normalizing himself
"Good morning son, come sit down for breakfast" They had breakfast together and then Shamir left for office. Rayan was sitting in the hall when Rabia came. She returned home late at night due to which she could not meet Rayan.
"Bhai, how are you? Why didn't anybody tell me that brother has come?", she was saying while hugging him. Both the brother and sister were happy to meet after so many days. Now they sat down to tell each other what had happened and what had not in the past.
It had been four days since Rayan had returned to India and everything was going on as usual. Tonight, a friend of Shamir Shah had organized a success party in which the whole family was invited. Rabia had also gone to the party but Rayan had refused to go and he had stayed alone at home.
He was sitting in his room watching a movie. He was sitting comfortably leaning against the headrest of the bed and was also looking at his phone every now and then. The door of his room was open and then he heard the sound of someone leaving. He immediately kept the phone in his hand aside and moved towards the door. When he came out of the room and looked, there was a girl there. The girl's face was towards the other side due to which her back was visible. He could not understand why a girl came there at such a late hour, he could not recognize who she was.
" Excuse me ?" The girl stopped there without turning around
" You here ....? May I know whom you want to meet ?" Ryan said moving a few steps towards the girl.
The girl turned slowly and was now facing Rayan. As she turned, Rayan froze at his place. Her brown eyes, waist length wavy hair out of which half of the hair was held in a clutch but still there were some stray strands that were touching the face. This fair complexioned girl dressed in an off white suit left him with no words to speak. Many memories came to his mind at once but only one name came to his mind - 'Alina'. He was standing in the same position without blinking.
" I.. I came to take notes from Rabiya but I didn't know that she is not at home so..", she spoke on her own seeing Ryan silent.
" Yeah.... she has gone to a party with mom and dad", he said in a panic then he realized his action that he was standing in the same position for a long time.
" Sorry I didn't know it was you.."
" I'll take notes" Then she went to Rabia's room which was a little distance away from Rayan's room. As soon as she left, Rayan put his hands on the grill, bent down a little and took a deep breath as if he was holding his breath for a long time.
Alina came out with the notes. Ryan was standing there with his hands on the grill. As soon as Alina came out, he stood up straight.
"I'm sorry, you had to face trouble because of me", Alina said while coming a little closer to him.
"No..no, there is nothing to worry about." Alina nodded her head to his words.
"I am leaving." She walked through the stairs which led straight down to the hall. Rayan just kept watching her go. He wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.
