Saying that Khan Haveli was a simple house was underestimating the house's beauty.

Alizeh has seen many places in her travels, but nothing could be compared to the house.

When they reached the house, her family was welcomed by the family and many many garlands.

The only problem: Adeel also lived there.

When she saw Adeel getting scolded by Alia's soon to be mother-in-law, she understood that Adeel was related to Danish.

And she did not know if that was a bad thing or even worse.

The first she did the moment she was alone with her sister, she asked her if she was sure about the marriage.

Alia obviously didn't understand why Alizeh was against the relationship all of a sudden.

And then they fought.

That was the reason Alia has been so far from her at Danish's cousin's dholki.

Alizeh sat there, observing her sister chatting with Adeel's cousins. She rolled her eyes and decided to go outside.

She somehow found an empty room. She breathed in, trying to calm herself. Instead of clean air, she breathed in smoke.

She looked around. She was in the garden, which had a pool. At the other side of where she stood, sat Adeel.

Adeel was wearing a black shirt, the sleeves rolled up, the first buttons opened revealing his chest, and a silver necklace hanging. He wore matching pants whose ends were rolled up since Adeel's feet were resting in the pool.

"Done checking me out?" She heard him and stopped what she was doing. She rolled her eyes and sat at the edge of the pool facing him.

"In your dreams." She answered. In response, he gave her his devilish smirk. She hated to admit it, but it was true. Alizeh's eyes always searched for him, even when he wasn't present. And that killed her.

"Stop smirking before I throw my heel at your face. Believe me, I would be very glad." She had told him, and he chuckled. That idiot chuckled.

"I know, you would." He said, bringing the cigarette to his lips.

She observed him. Nothing had changed. He was the same Adeel she had once loved, but why did he seem so different?

"Since when did you start smoking?" She asked.

He looked at the cigarette before looking back at her. "Some years ago."

"When?"

"When I left high school." He had answered, and she had contemplated the information.

"Why?" She asked.

"You know why." He answered.

"Because I won?" She asked, not believing a single word of it. "Yes, because you won." He answered and threw the cigarette away.
