Ayushmaan:
I thought she would guess it was me, so I lit the light after she asked me innumerable questions. Well done!

I asked her to hurry up as soon as she was about to come downstairs, but there was silence. I suppose she realized it was me by now, so I thought we could play a little practical joke. After we spoke, I told her to stay inside the house, and she complied.

I went outside to fill the car with roses and her favorite perfume, which she adores.

Everyone was waiting for us at my restaurant, so we were already running late. They knew what I had planned, but even though it was too early, I would not lose anything if I tried, right?

The mere thought of her rejection drives me insane, so I sincerely hope she agrees.

I know it was foolish of me to leave her after the conversation, but when I returned, she was sitting on the floor with her head in her hands and not even crying, and she did not even notice I had returned.

What could have gone wrong in fifteen minutes?What scared her so much?Will she tell me, and how should I ask her?Oh no!I should never have left her.

I tried to remember what we had discussed, but she was okay with it. She even acknowledged that she was jealous. What went wrong? Please, Allah, lead her.

Some minutes ago:the talk.
Me:I want to talk to you

Sabiha:Yeah go on

Me:Won't you even ask who was the girl?I knew you figured it out but still

Sabiha:How do you always know what I think or what goes in my mind?

Me:I know you since six months and five years.

Her eyes widened and she opened her mouth and closed then I told her I sent everyone away just to talk to her.

Sabiha:No you don't know anything happened with in these years you weren't here.

Me:I was far but very close to you I knew every step you took.

Sabiha:What!were you stalking me?

Shit!this wasn't the way our conversation was supposed to go!what have I done?

Sabiha:It's okey I don't mind whatever you did

Was this girl for serious?one minute she was snapping at me and other?

Me:Well the girl's name is Muskan.

Sabiha:I know it.

I am a billionaire, but I still can not speak in front of her. I am a coward, and I am glad I sent the guys away because they would have made fun of me for being soft.

But just for her, a sound echoed.

Me:Well she broke my heart.
She listened carefully as I went over everything with her.

Sabiha:That's why whenever the topic of marriage came you just couldn't control.

We both started laughing when she told me that is why you broke two glasses.

I was having a serious conversation with her, and she...

I told her to wait after the conversation, and then I got in my car.
End of talk
******
Yes, we laughed as our conversation came to an end, and she even shared her background with me.

How should I ask her what was wrong? I was still standing there observing her, and she was still trembling and showing signs of fear.

I simply stood close to her until she sensed my presence, at which point she got up and wiped away her tears because I was not permitted to touch her or anything else.

"You are back?"As though she did not think I was actually here, she whispered.

"Why is she acting strangely?"

Why are you crying, Sabiha?what's wrong?Why did you cry?

Sabiha:Nothing let's go everyone is waiting please!

This was not her.

I was even more stubborn than she was!

We had already wasted twenty minutes, so she knew I could not leave her outside. People must be wondering, but I texted Ayaan already.

I used my keys to open her door, and she walked in, stunned. A smile appeared on her face, but it did not reach her eyes. She turned to face me and thanked me, but I simply turned on the engine.

I glanced in her direction, but she was deep in thought!I will give her the room she requires.

We drove in complete silence, which was uncomfortable, but I was just trying to keep my temper in check because I had a lot planned for her—in fact, this entire program is for her.

Sabiha:
He told me to wait in the house, and at first I was worried about where everyone had gone, but then I trusted him completely, and when he told me the whole truth about his past with pure honesty in his eyes, my trust and love for him grew. It was Ayushmaan, and I was so excited for whatever was planned for me. I would eventually meet them all.

He endured a lot while he was away, and I suppose I was just remembering our meetings. Allah knows best!

I was praying in my head for Ayushman to return because I feel safe with him. I was taken out of my reverie when two people touched my shoulder. I jumped, but before I could scream, they closed my mouth and another showed me the knife.

Ya, Allah save me.

"You are mine", One of them whispered in my ear.

I was about to scream when I told him, but they silenced me. Oh no! Ayushman actually went to our house's parking lot behind us. He will take a while.

When I asked them what do you want?

Just leave Ayushmaan alone and get back to me, or we will kill him. That is what they said, you.

Remember, it is not a threat, and you have until tomorrow night to decide whether you want him to stay alive or to break his heart or do something else.

"Who are you?"I begged, but these heartless jerks simply laughed.

"Your lover and see you soon" He told me

They simply left after ten minutes, which seemed like a whole day without anyone, and five minutes later, Ayushman arrived.

He was so close, Allah, but I pretended I did not see him until I smelled his familiar scent. How will I respond to him? As far as I know, these people know us very well; otherwise, how did they enter the house? I know that once I see him, he will ask me questions, and I can not risk his life.

"Why did he want me?"

I was unable to express my favorite things once we got in the car; it was all about my preferences.

It was too painful, but how should I even tell him that I can not risk his life and what if they were following me? May Allah help us. I thanked him, and he simply replied, "Welcome."

What surprised me was that he opened the door for me. What a gentleman! I smiled at him, but he simply closed it and took long steps. I followed him, but where was everyone? I know he controls his anger, so I just left him like that until we got to his restaurant.

He mentioned opening ceremomy and other things, but now that we were on the second floor, everyone was gone. I went to give my parents' elders, Samina, hugs. I glanced at Ayushmaan, but he never once turned to face me, which was hurtful.

Sensing something, Ayaan approached me and raised an eyebrow, telling me not to worry, he needs time.

How do people know me so well yet I can't read their minds?

All of a sudden, everything was silent and dark. What is wrong with the lights today, Allah?

I simply stared at what I saw next, never taking my eyes off the screen.

She was in her mother's arms in one of the pictures and then in her father's; I was not particularly interested in his, but the words that were written there seemed to be intended for me to see that it was not my birthday, so why was it for me and who had planned?

So under this picture it was written:Thank you uncle and aunty for being together and bringing this amazing beautiful girl in this world and thank you for the picture.

Next picture was played on screen:It was Faizan.

What my ex picture? He was here also so who has done all these?

Under the pic:Thank you for leaving her and may be Allah had planned best.

Everyone started laughing, seriously?what's happening?

Another picture:Ayaan rest of crew and me:Thank you for coming in my life and her's as because of you all I was able to meet her everynow and then.

The last one was ball, now what?

The words under the ball:Thank you for crushing ball on my screen otherwise I woudn't have even talked to you..

I din't even realize I was crying till I saw droplets  when I did my hijab and accidentally touched my cheek.

I have guessed it who has done all these, where was he?

After that the paragraph followed to which all were waiting for my response, but I read paragraph again and again.

*****
I have made alot of mistakes since our first meeting at beach I was an idiot that time infact what a coincidence I was jerk that time and today in car and I even went away but it's true distance makes heart grow fonder.

I am sorry for evreything but not sorry for falling in love with you and I thank Allah he sent you at beach the day I was there.

Sorry for running away for five years it was biggest torture of my life, I want you in my life, I don't have anyone who could bring a proposal so I thought why not gather everyone as now you all are my family and now they are all on my side, haha.

Together we will remind eachother of our deen(religiom) InshaaAllah.

I know am not perfect but together we will solve our problems and together we will  share pain and happiness and I will always love you...will you marry me and make me the most happiest man?

No matter what happens to me but your my life and you bring happiness in my life...

Lights were switched on and he hold microphone and started speaking all words written by him and now he asked me again:

So Sabiha will you marry me and all pair of eyes were watching me waiting eagerly for my reply, I din't even have time to ask anyone there he is on his knees with a golden heart shaped rings...ya Allah help me....I just kept staring at him...

What if I accept him and something happens to him what if all they said was true...

I couldn't even form words I stared at everyone and all eyes were filled with concern..no I shouldn't do this with them and especially him yeah I have decided and I will give him my answer..I can't hurt anyone...that's not in my nature..
