                  WORD COUNT:785

Rafan's pov :

It's been two days and Hayat maintained her silence. Romaisa was so excited for Hayat's wedding more than the bride herself . Aaliyah knew the secret so she was excited as much as Romaisa, and I was so excited on knowing that my plan worked very well from Hayat's reaction on this proposal and I am extremely satisfied that I took the correct decision despite all the odds , I knew my sister and I would never hurt her even in my dreams, even if it took my pride or ego to let go , I want her to be happy and I will give it to her at any cost, even if it takes for me to forgive Hamza.

I took the visiting card that Hamza gave me and dialled the mumber that he has mentioned there . He did not pick up his phone , I tried again and this time he picked it up at the fourth ring .

"Hamza, it's me Rafan." I was in a hurry .

"Yes mr.Rafan what can I do for you ?" A very sombre voice questioned.

"These generation, seriously , are you people so stressed out ? You people give up easily not willing to fight ."

"Sorry mr.Rafan I can't understand you."

"I'm telling you to come here and ask my sister's hand in marriage , have I made myself clear now?"

"What mr.Rafan , I seriously don't get what you are trying to convey." the stuttering was clear in his voice .

"I don't like to repeat myself you dumb idiot , just do what I told you if you want Hayat. I'll be expecting you today by evening 5.00 pm. bye" I told him curtly.

"Ok sure I'll be there as you wish."

"Hayat our guest will arrive here by evening 5.00 pm , so start getting ready, I don't want any delays" . I spoke in a stern voice.
She just nodded her head , she was responding in silence but it seemed like she was protesting in silence.

Hayat's pov:

I don't know why , but everything is wrong , I feel lost . I am not happy about my marriage, I have dreamt of it since forever, I always dreamt of my prince charming . I never wanted a forced marriage that actually looks like a not forced one and that is what exactly happening now. I buried all my dreams and started getting ready for my fate , for my destiny . Let's see what it awaits . "come on Hayat let me help you put on some make up ", aaliyah came in with a wide smile , "it's okay Aaliyah, I want it to be simple , I'll apply just some kohl by myself ". I refused her help with a smile , I was not in the mood to do these things.
I wore a peach color lehenga , pastels are my favourite. But I dreamt of wearing such lehengas on a special day where I would be smiling with joy not like today where I am just smiling to hide my misery .

Finally it was five and we heard a salam at the door step , a very familiar voice was all I could recognize . Aaliyah and Romaisa were sitting with me . Romaisa wore a pretty green gown , she looked stunning in that emerald green color with matching earrings .She was so happy and excited that she could not keep her mouth shut. She was talking to me non stop though I never had my concentration on her .

"Aaliyah , our visitor here needs to see Hayat, can you please bring her ." Rafan called for us . My heart hammered in my ribcage . I was anxious all of a sudden. I walked with Aaliyah and Romaisa taking very small steps. My eyes met with a pair of eyes that I never expected . Hamza was sitting there, casually with Rafan . We both stared at each other for a minute longer than we actually should . Rafan faked a cough and we both averted our gazes . Romaisa ran to him and they both hugged each other , she was so happy to see him and he loved her so much . They talked about the things they missed that includes Romaisa's new barbie doll , her new gown she is wearing today and Hamza was keenly listening to her talks . She was so excited that she gave him some of her favourite candies and she refused to get up from his lap when we called her .

We went in after a few minutes , I just couldn't stop smiling. Aaliyah was teasing me which made me blush more .

"Aaliyah, there is a huge mistake , his name is Hamza, not Hashim ." I told her .

" my dear Hayat, Rafan has the habit of referring people with their last name." She replied with a wicked smile .
