"There will be no divorce, ever. So think before you say yes." His view fixated on her.
"I've already said yes." Her voice and eyes were dim, too much for anyone to not notice.
"I'm a cruel man so don't you dare humiliate me if you get cold feet and...

"Jaan, are you ready?" Rehaan knocked impatiently at the bedroom door.
"Just one more minute." Rehaan at once cursed himself for making her hurry hearing her reply.
"No, it's okay there's no rush-" The door opened and Shahwar came out wearing a lavender dress with tiny white flowers, her cheeks were so pink that when she smiled he was unable to even blink.
"I'm ready, let's go." She grabbed her tiny purse and stepped out of the room, Rehaan was in a trance.
"Do I look weird? Should I change?" She asked when he didn't start walking towards the living room.
"Come here." He held his hand forward for her to hold, she looked at it for a while and then when he didn't move it away she reluctantly put hers on his palm.
"You look perfect." He took out a small box from his pocket and opened it. It was the ring he'd bought for her. Shahwar stared hard at the sight of the thing. It was such a blatantly outrageous diamond which her husband slid into her left ring finger that fit her with precision.
"This is for me?" She looked at her own hand in his with astonishment.
Rehaan kissed her fingers and then looked at her, "Does my Shahwar like it?"
She now could hear her heart beat, "It's for me?" She couldn't believe he'd get a ring for her, that too, such an atrociously beautiful one. He knew what making a girl wear a ring like that meant right?
"Of course it's for the love of my life. A very, very late wedding gift." He made a sorry face pressing his lips together with a sigh.
Shahwar looked at him and then realized he was wearing the polo shirt she'd gifted him on his birthday. Her shock was growing more and more at what was happening. He'd never worn it before, he'd never gifted her anything so intimate before, Shahwar felt like it was all unreal.
"Do you not like it Shahwar? I'll get another one for you, no wait, we'll go and-"
"It's very beautiful Rehaan." She didn't know what to say other than that.
"Sure?" She nodded with a small smile, "Alright then, let's go." He held her hand in his and walked out.
They had stopped at the entrance of a hotel, Shahwar wondered why they'd come there for lunch. They were escorted to the open air garden area where the entire place was almost empty except for a table with few people. Rehaan held her hand in his and walked towards the table, "Jaan, we're going to meet all my friends, properly this time." He whispered in her ear.
Shahwar stopped walking and Rehaan halted two steps ahead with her hand in his, he turned to look back at her, "What happened?"
"I don't want to go in front of them." She was trembling slightly while speaking. If she'd known the lunch would be about meeting them, she'd have refused right away when he had asked her last night.
