The moment they entered the Baig Mansion. Noor slapped Harisa in front of everyone.
"No, have you lost your mind?" Asfandiyaar growled at his wife.
"I have lost my mind. Your children, and you both of them, have lost their minds. Believe that filthy man rather than your blood." Noor yells at his husband.
"Ammi, I know you are angry at him for how he treated Mariya. Trust me, even though I want to tear him apart for treating her like that, the allegations that Mariya has put against Abbas are quite big, and I know my sister and Abbas, too. I can tell you that there is some misunderstanding. Abbas won't do such things, and I promise you if he isn't able to prove himself, I will make sure he suffers for such a nasty thing, but you are not going to touch Harisa." He calmly speaks to her mother.
"I knew you never considered me as your sister." Mariya yell in frustration, "And you, Baba, it was always Harisa for you since she was born." Mariya marched towards Harisa. Rahil stands in front of her sister to protect her from getting attacked by Mariya.
"Don't even think about it, Mariya, that you will be spare after abusing her like other times." Rahil glared at her sister.
"If you dare to even touch her, I will inform Abbas about this, and trust me, the consequences won't be good if you touch his wife." Zohra gave her a pointed look.
Mariya smirked at her. "He is possessive about her I see. Tell me, Harisa, were you having an affair with my fiance behind my back that he is so fond of you in a few months and where he was with me for more than half a year? He didn't even feel a thing for me." Mariya sneered at her.
"It's nothing like that. Stop accusing me of the things I didn't do anything. "Harisa speaks in her defence.
"Why? Because it's true. I have seen how defensive he gets when it's come to you." Noor took her daughter's side.
"Not to forget Ammi. Abbas, who never begs in front of someone, was begging in front of Baba to prove himself. How-"
"Enough," Asfandiyaar's voice boomed in the living room, halting Mariya's words. "Not a single word about Harisa. You ran away from the wedding like a coward and didn't even tell me about him threatening you. You know very well even once you have said it to me about all this, I would have punished Abbas for his deeds." He moves towards his wife. "You should be happy after she got married. In such circumstances, Abbas treats her with love, care and respect, but it seems like you want her to suffer in this marriage. Is that the reason you beg her to marry him to save our dignity, or do you wish for her to suffer?"
Asfandiyaar growled at his wife.
"I treat both my daughters equally. It may look like I am favouring Harisa, but it is not like I can't punish Abbas without giving him a chance to prove himself. I believed in fair justice. No one will discuss this topic anymore, and Noor, you won't touch my daughter." Asfandiyaar took hold of Harisa's hand and moved towards her room.
One by one everyone left from there.
"Ammi" Mariya cried hugging her mother. "No one believes me."
"I do my love." Noor caresses her daughter's hair.
"I will not live that Abbas. He threatened you. I will make him suffer." Noor speaks with determination.
Ammi. Mariya smiled at her mother. "But how?"
"Abbas loves Harisa. Not seeing her will cause him pain." Noor smirks at her daughter.
"What about Baba? He will be angry if he comes to know about it."
"He is leaving for a business trip tomorrow." Noor smiled at her daughter.
Mariya jumped in excitement and hugged her mother. "I love you Ammi."
"Baba, I did not have any affairs. Please trust me." Harisa cried in front of her father.
"I know my daughter will never do such things." Asfandiyaar wipes her cheeks with his thumb pad. "Do you have your food?"
Harisa Bob her head up and down.
"Harisa listens to me carefully. I will be going on a business trip tomorrow only for a few days. Rahil will be there for you but I want you to take care of yourself. If your mother or sister did anything to you. You will inform me. If by any chance I am not able to pick up your call. Inform Rahil or Abbas about it."
Harisa looked at her father when he took Abbas's name.
"Abbas?"
"Hmmm, I trust him with you. I know nothing can harm you when he is with you, but I can't let him be with you when Mariya has made big allegations against him. I can't do that as a father."
"Ok Baba."
"Good night." He kissed her forehead and left the room.
Why? Because it's true. I have seen how defensive he gets when it's come to you.
Not to forget Ammi. Abbas, who never begs in front of someone, was begging in front of Baba to prove himself.
Abbas treats her with love, care and respect
Those words were playing in her mind like a tape recorder. Harisa lies down on her bed. Pulling the duvet to her chin, she looks around her room. She looked at the foot of her bed, where she sat down, and Abbas treated her wound. Harisa smiled at the memories with teary eyes.
"Ya Rehman, let the truth unfold in front of everyone and give me the strength to stand with the truth."
Laiba glare at his son. The moment Asfandiyaar steps out of the mansion.
"How many times I had told you, Abbas, if you don't want this marriage speak to me?"
"Ammi but-"
Laiba cut him off in between. "You have to speak to me about your Dadi. I would have fought with her for your happiness, Abbas." Labia cried. "How are you going to prove yourself, Abbas?" Laiba sat down on the sofa, holding her head, crying hysterically.
Abbas felt ashamed of himself even for suggesting something to Mariya. Even if he did, he should have informed someone about it. He didn't know Mariya was going to twist the truth for her benefit. He clenched his fist in anger. He kneels in front of Laiba.
"Ammi. Please forgive me. I will prove myself anyhow. I won't let anyone degrade our family name." Abbas promised her mother.
"I want my daughter back. Noor and Mariya won't let that happen." Laiba looked at him in worry.
"I will bring your daughter and my wife back." Abbas looks at her with determination.
"I am sorry," Farida looks down in shame.
"It's ok Ammi." Laiba lookss at her mother-in-law. "You did it for Abbas's happiness. Your actions were wrong but your intentions were right."
"But Bhai, how are you going to prove that you didn't say those words?" Juveria asked her brother.
"Yes Bhai. Mariya is very sharp. She always has her way with the things she wants. I am afraid for Harisa. What if she hurts her?"
Abbas dialled a number.
"Hello Mr Shaikh. I am sending you the name and photo to dig out all the information regarding this woman. Nothing should be missed. I want every detail of her." After cutting the call. Abbas looks at Anabiya.
"I want the Mariya photos." She nods at him.
"Wow, Bhai. You are very quick." Junaid tease him.
"Our Abbas is turning into a lover who can't stay without his wife." Zubair, too, joined Junaid in teasing Abbas.
"I am." He smiled at them. "I can't live without my Harisa."
Now there is competition between Noor, Mariya and Sana

Humor"What are you doing? Over here", Laiba glared at Abbas, who was busy with his phone. "Ammi, I am responding to an important client" Abbas said, getting annoyed. "Go and sit beside Mariya" He scowls at his mother. "You agreed to this marriage, did...
