A Second Chance.

Chapter 18.

Hussyan.

I smiled as the people cheers loudly and soon started to chat to each other. I look around and my eyes settled on Maham, Ahmed and Sila. Maham and Ahmed were glaring at me while Sila look away, but I didn't miss the sadness in her eyes. She looked up at me with her teary eyes then turned to Maham. She said something to her before she take Arsalan from Ahmed and walk out. I was confused and tried to go down, but stop when Aisha grab my arm to make me stand beside her. I clenched my hand into a fist and wanted to shout at her, but stop there because it is about my parent and their respect. I don't want anyone to insult them and I don't care about Sila running away, but she had Arsalan with her. I know she wouldn't be able to run from here, but I am still worried about them. 

After all the flashes of cameras are finally finished, I gently peel myself from Aisha and walk down. I don't want anyone to think that I am not happy, but that is the truth. I am not happy. I am doing this for my parents and Arsalan. I know as the time pass he will accept Aisha and she will accept him. I stood in front of Maham and Ahmed and raised my eyebrow at them.

"Where did she take Arsalan?" I asked Maham but instead of getting any reply, she rolled her eyes and walk away. I look at Ahmed but he also walk after her. Sometimes I can't really understand them. I sigh and walk inside to find her. I check living room, kitchen and other rooms as well, but I didn't find her or Arsalan. Now, I started to get worried. 

"Samia Aapi, Did you know where Arsalan is?" I asked my elder sister. She nodded and walk upstairs. I followed her upstairs to my old room.

"He is sleeping." Samia Aapi inform me opening the door of my room. I walk inside and saw Arsalan peacefully sleeping under the cover. I sigh in relief and turned to her.

"Thank you Aapi." I frowned when she shake her head and walk toward me.

"Don't thank me Hussyan. Sila put him in because he was tired. Why are you doing this Hussyan?" She asked me. I sigh and look away from her. 

"I am doing all this for Arsalan." I told her and walk toward the bed. I sit on beside Arsalan and soft run my hand in his hairs.

"You are not doing for him Hussyan. You are doing this to make Mom, Dad happy, but have you ever tried to think what will happen if this didn't work out? What will you do then? What will you do if Aisha tried to take you away from Arsalan?" She says coming closer. I look at her confused and shake my head.
"Why would she do that?" I asked her. I mean she wouldn't do this and what she will get if she take him away from me?

"Hussyan, we all know what type of girl she is. She can do anything for money and if she wants it, then she can kidnap him and ask you to pay for him. What will you do then? That time Mom, Dad wouldn't do anything. You still have time to make things right. You don't have to marry her because Arsalan needs a mother. He needs someone who can give him love like Mehwish and honestly Sila is the one only who can do this." She says softly. I look at her then at Arsalan. She is right. I can't trust Aisha that she wouldn't do anything like that.

"Then what should I do then Aapi? I can't back away now, Dad already announced our wedding date." I told her sighing sadly. She sighs and nodded.

"I know, but there must be a way that you could get out of this situation. I tried to talk Dad about once everything get finish downstairs." Samia Aapi says. I look at her and could easily see hope in her eyes. I nodded and look down at Arsalan. I leaned forward and kissed his forehead before standing up.

"Do you know where is Sila?" I asked her.

"Yeah, she went back to her home after putting Arsalan to sleep." She told me. I look at her surprised. How could she leave for her home without me? Did she even know how much risky it will be for her to go back in the city all alone? "I tried to make her stop, but she didn't me and walk away saying she don't want to stay where no one want her."
