Zoya's pov :

I was shocked, beyond shocked. I mean what the hell just happened, everything was like a dream but it was actually true.

He was here and he threatened me for something which can't happen. I saw the Pallu of my Saree wet that was when I realized I was crying.

He behaved like a beast and he wasn't even guilty for inflicting pain in me eventhough he was aware of hurting me.

But I must say I was scared, really scared. His eyes got that determination to held me,live with me and...... Marry me. As if I was his.

Marriage that thought makes me realize that someone was waiting for me.

Arhaan was waiting for me, so I rushed to the washroom, washed my face with cold water, relaxed for a minute or two and went to meet Arhaan.

He was staring at the sky when I wished him Assalamu allaikum.

He turned and wished me back. Moments of silence passed but both of us didn't dare to utter a word.

I am not sure what Arhaan was thinking about but all I could think about was Ahad and his confession, sorry threat that was the correct way to put it.

" So Zoya..." he called me.

Now I was brought back from my trail of thoughts.

" Hmm" I hummed to him.

" What are you thinking ??? " he asked me with a smile in his face.

" No-Nothing" I didn't want him to know anything.

" You look worried, are you crying?? " he asked me with care.

" No, why should I cry it was ju-" I tried my best to hide my emotions but he cut me off.

" Look Zoya , you are such a girl with so much responsibility and love for everyone in your life and anybody would fall in love with you and your innocence.
I consider myself lucky to have you in my life but at the same time I respect your feelings, if you don't wanna marry me then it's ok nobody will force you. " he spoke his heart out.

"Arhaan I am not forced into this relationship. I respect my parents decision, they know what is good and bad for me and I trust my Allah he will show me the right path." I spoke to him genuinely.

" so you agree???" he asked me with a glint in his eyes.

" Yes!! " I told him after a long breathe.

Ya Allah help me.......

After 10 days.......

Tomorrow is my wedding and today is my Mehindi ceremony. Everything was arranged soon because my father want my nikkha done before my collage reopens.

All my relatives were in my home as do my friends. I am very lucky to have both my besties by my side. Sano is here with me for the past three days and Anisha came today morning I must say she is a medical student and she skipped her important test for me to attend my wedding. I am really lucky to have such great friends in my life.

All on a sudden I hear someone scream , It was Rehi.

" U spoiled my dress Zara!!!!"

" No I didn't besides u spill juice on mine!!" Zara replayed narrowing her eyes.

" Oh come on yar today is our Zoya's Mehindi please don't fight today." Sano pleaded them.

"Ok!!" both replied at the same time with a loud sigh.

I was taken to the hall, everybody were singing and dancing. But I was lost in thoughts.

" So what name should I write in your hands ?? " the lady asked me.

" Ah??? " I was not in my mind.

" What is the name of your groom??? " she asked me as she shook her head a little.

" Arhaan , my handsome jiju!!!" replied Zara.

" He is also my jiju !!" Rehi replied shooting glares at Zara.

"My jiju " said Zara.

" My jiju " said Rehi.

" Mine " Zara.

" Mine " Rehi.

" Mine " Zara.

" Mine " Rehi.

"Stop it both of you. " yelled my mom.

Sano and Ani noticed something wrong with me. Ani squeezed my shoulder .

"What's wrong?? " she asked me with care.

" Nothing Ani, why? what happened??" I asked her with a forced smile.

" I know you more than you know yourself darling so speak up. " She narrowed her eyes at me.

" I have been asking her for the past three days Ani,but no response." this time it was Sano.

I tool a long breath and decided to tell them when I was about to utter a word I was interrupted.

" Akka your Mehindi is beautiful!!! " it was Rehi.

I looked at my hands and shocked. It was just A not the full name.

" Why didn't you write the full name??? " I was quick to ask her.

" Aahan!!! someone is so Romantic, and wants full name of jiju to be written in her hands. Great!!! " Rehi exclaimed and everybody cheered. I shot a glare at Rehi.

" There is no enough space because of the design so I could write only the first letter. " that lady explained and gave me a smile.

I smiled back and looked at my hands again. To whom this A implies ARHAAN or........ AHAD.

" YOU ARE MINE , remember that!! "

His words consumed my mind.

" What's wrong ???" asked Ani but I choose to ignore her because my inner turmoil was just killing me.

It's been ten days but I haven't seen or heared about him. I was really shaken after his threat. I couldn't concentrate in my own wedding.

I seem lost in my thoughts and all I could find was that two Brown Eyes haunting me every time.

I found my dad dancing for a desi beat , it was the first time I have seen him dancing, my sisters were playing and enjoying the moment.

I found my mom coming in my direction her eyes held tears but it was her happiness. She is happy for her Zoya, her daughter.

" Are you happy dear???? " asked my mom kissing my forehead.

I told yes and asked her "Are you all happy??? "

" We are all on cloud nine!! " she exclaimed happily and joined the crowd.

This is it, I want my family happy, they are my everything. Allah please help me I don't know what is about to happen and I have a feeling that something was going wrong.

And I hope everything will be fine by tomorrow inshallah.
