Reyhan leaned forward joining their foreheads together. Anah closed her eyes smiling little. She felt his warm breath on her lips and felt jittery.

Both Anah and Reyhan had their eyes closed and were lost in each other, for them everyone else seemed to have disappeared.

Unintentionally, Reyhan tilted his head, his lips hovering over Anah's. Reflexively, Anah parted her lips. But as his lips just touched hers, Anah's eyes sprung open and she quickly took a step back abruptly breaking the dance.

Everyone erupted in loud clapping, they all hooted teasing them. Anah and Reyhan avoided each other's gaze. Anah felt embarrassed – what was she doing? She was going to kiss Reyhan. Shit!

Anah looked at Reyhan from the corner of her eyes but when he looked at her she quickly averted her gaze. What is happening to her? She can't feel this way for Reyhan, he is her best friend.

But he is your husband too - a small voice at the back her head spoke. Anah looked at Reyhan quickly. He smiled at her and she hesitantly smiled back. He is her husband, she can think of him in that way. But. Anah placed her palm on her belly, she is carrying someone else's child, will it be fair to Reyhan? Anah felt caught in a strange dilemma.

Ejaz hates wasting his time on the social media, but tonight he found himself browsing through a famous social networking site looking at Pinky's ridiculous trip to Las Vegas with her bimbo friends. Ejaz kept scrolling down feeling bored to death. But he must else his parents will eat him up. They have given him a strict warning to always fulfill all of Pinky's demands. As he browsed Ejaz stopped when he saw posts by one of his employee. It was titled as 'Anah's baby shower.'

Ejaz felt his blood boil as he saw the photos. He recollected Reyhan's word, she is truly happy without him. Ejaz clenched his fists looking at their intimate photos of dancing together. At one pic they looked like they were kissing. Ejaz slammed his fist tightly on the table and cursed loudly. He took deep heavy breaths and then stood up angrily, his chair fell. He stormed out of the room.

Mr. and Mrs. Ali were startled as they heard knock on their door. They were surprised to find Ejaz so late in front of their doorsteps.

'Mom Dad, call Pinky as soon as possible I want to get married this weekend.' He announced.

His parents are taken aback with their son's decision. They tried explaining to him that arranging everything in such short notice isn't possible. But Ejaz was adamant. He wanted to get married to Pinky as soon as possible else he might fall weak again. He doesn't want Anah to make him vulnerable again, he wants to kill his love for her, forever. If she can be happy with someone else, if she can move on, so will he – Ejaz decided.

**************************************************************

One week later, Reyhan found himself in a tricky situation. Ipshita and Anah got into the serious argument over attending Ejaz's wedding. Once again, Anah was adamant that she will go. Unlike last time this time Reyhan sided with Ipshita.

'You are almost nine months pregnant and already had false labor pains, what if something happens there. Now, is a very delicate stage.' Ipshita and Reyhan reasoned but Anah wasn't ready to accept. They argued for four-five days straight with no one ready to compromise. Finally, Reyhan gave up but Ipshita didn't. Anah and Ipshita aren't on talking terms anymore.

Anah dressed in a cup sleeved red flowing evening gown with a hollow back, she caressed her belly admiring herself in the mirror.

'Are you sure, Anu?' Reyhan asked walking up to her. Anah turned her head and nodded. Reyhan looked at her briefly before looking down and buttoning the sleeves of his maroon shirt.

'Don't worry about me, Reyhan. I will be fine.' She said making him wear his black blazer. Reyhan nodded wearing his blazer. Anah smiled at him as she dusted his shoulder, he too smiled uncertainly at her.

Ejaz wanted a quick and not-so-grand wedding. The venue was the backyard of their farmhouse. Since everything had happened in such short notice they didn't have time to make arrangements for separate venues for ladies and gents. The place is completely lit and decorated with flowers. The guards welcomed Anah and Reyhan politely. As soon as they entered, Anah felt nostalgic. She remembered the times when she and Ejaz would come here. They would spend time together, alone, away from everyone else. Just the two of them. They would talk, go for horse rides, make love, sit under the beautiful night sky cuddled together. She felt emotional but before Reyhan could see, Anah quickly wiped her tears.

'Are you alright?' Reyhan whispered. Anah nodded not looking at him but clenching his forearm tightly.

Pinky was brought on the stage where Ejaz had already been seated, a thin flimsy curtain between them. Anah watched Pinky like at the engagement even tonight she was glowing. She looked stunning dressed in a designer saree. Anah's gaze traveled from Pinky to Ejaz, he is dressed in cream and golden work Sherwani. His face covered with Sehra.

Maulvi finished asking Pinky and moved on to Ejaz, just then Anah felt a slight pain in her belly. She ignored it and kept looking forward. As the Maulvi spoke with Ejaz, Anah's pain intensified. Anah kept ignoring it thinking it to be false alarm again.

'Do you agree to this marriage?'

'Yes.'

'Reyhan.' Anah clenched Reyhan's arm tightly. Apart from the pain, she felt something wet in between her legs. Reyhan looked at her concerned and began asking her if she is alright. He saw the pain in her face and panicked.

'Anah!'

'My...water...broke.' Anah yelped and Reyhan gasped.

Shit!
