The one thing every bollywood freak would want is a sweet romance plot in their own life. The typical, meeting someone at a mutual wedding, and of course...falling in love.
When a simple, jolly and absolutely breathtaking Minahil Sheikh crosses pat...
Sambhale sambhalta nahi yeh dil, kuch aap main baat aisi hai.

The next morning I text Aleena my daily morning messages and head outside for a walk. I haven't really been a walk person but everyone at home is sleeping and this is the only thing I can do to keep myself busy. I'm wearing a simple white cord set.

It's one of those chilly mornings in Karachi and there's almost no crowd out here. I try listening to a podcast for a bit and it diverts my attention from all the worldly things for a bit. I check my phone to see if Aleena had replied back but she hadn't, which was weird. She usually gets up by this time, this is our fixed time to call. I ignore the fact and head back home only to see khaala cleaning the house to its core and then it hits me again, there's a guy coming to see me today. I don't even know how I am going to stand in front of another man's family. I go back to my room and slouch in my bed shutting my eyes tight to ignore all the pain in my heart. I will need to go and tell baba about Aliyan, maybe that can stop all this. I head to his room and stand outside it for a few minutes and then taking a sharp breath in, I enter his room. He is sitting on the sofa talking to someone. He instructs me silently to come in.
"Ji ji, theek hai phir Insha Allah shaam ko mulakaat hoti hai." he cuts the call with that line. I knew he was talking to them. The rishta people. I internally cry at that statement.
"Aao beta, tell me. Is there something you need to say?" I look into his eyes, deep into them. Can this man hurt me, make a wrong decision for me? The man who gave up his everything for me and my sister. The man who has granted my every wish before I even uttered it. After what Mariyah did can I really do this to him? Deny the only thing he has ever asked from me. Maybe I should just give those people a chance, it's just one proposal after all.
"Haan woh...just let me know when these people will be here. Mai taiyyar rahungi." I smile weakly at him and he pats my head with pride.
"7 baje tak aayenge. Jao nashta karlo." I make myself a cup of chai and toast a slice of bread and go to my room to do an assignment. I check my phone again thinking Aleena would have replied by now but she hasn't. I try to check in on her with Aria bhabi but she didn't reply either.

Aliyan's POV:
Today we were travelling to Karachi, to finally ask for Minahil's hand in marriage. To say I was ecstatic was an understatement. I was beyond happy. I was nervous too of course.
"Oii, andar aajaun?" Aria bhabi was standing outside the door dressed in a beautiful saree.
