Aasif's POV:-

Sitting in my room, I can't stop my mind wondering about the girl I met months ago. I know it's been months since she gave me tour of my whole kingdom but still it feels like it was yesterday.

I can't even believe how Allah created her, so perfectly, so naturally. If not seen carefully you won't even know how beautiful she is. The way she speaks, the way she believes everyone and best of all she agreed to show me around without even knowing me just because her Abbu wanted her to. I don't think she can hurt anyone, not even in her dreams. I want her to be my wife, my life partner but I know Abbu won't allow me because she's a mere tourist guide and I'm going to be the future king. It's strange how that day he himself forced me to go with her and then never even mentioned about her at all.  It feels like she just vanished from his memory!

" Bhai! Bhai! Bhai open the door!" Ahaan brought me out of my Dreamland.

" What is it Ahaan?" I asked as soon as I opened the door.

" Wooh!! Looks like someone's busy." He commented.

" Ahaan?"

" Bhai get ready, I want you to come with me." He said pushing open the door and pulling me towards my coubard.

" No. " I said firmly.

" What no?" He Question still searching through my cupboard

" I said I am not going with you."

" Who is asking you? It's an order from the prince of Aasimgadh." He said with a smirk.

" And did you just forgot that I'm the future king?" I raised an eyebrow to him and in return he only gave me a cheeky smile.

" Bhai please.... I won't ask anything else, last time. Please...."

" You said the same thing the previous time." I commented.

" Fine. Ammiiiiiiiiii!!!"

" Ok! Ok! I'm coming with you. What's the need to call Ammi." He really uses this stupid yet effective trick against me.
...................................

" Ahaan, how long?"

" Just few more minutes Bhai." He said helping me walk.

Ok, I know this is quite hard for you all to understand so I'll tell you the situation. Right now I'm blindfolded and am walking to some place I don't know because my stupid brother thinks it's fun.

" Here, now you can open your eyes." He said removing the cloth from my eyes.

" Ahaan I'm telling you, if I would have been a girl then I might have kissed you for this but unfortunately I'm your brother." I said looking at my surroundings. We are currently in our garden but it is decorated with lights and covered with a tent to make it look more beautiful than it already is.

" Bhai this is for bhabhi from your side." He smirked and I turned my head towards him that I feel I might have a fracture.

" Who's bhabhi?" I questioned although I think I know what is he talking about.

" My future Bhabhi ofcorse." He said.

" Ahaan I'm leaving right now and don't you dare stop me. You know I hate all this then how the hell could you do this. I never expected this from you Ahaan, not from you." I left, full of anger. I can't even imagine  he did this again.

Last time I warned him not to do this but who will listen to me. I know it's all because of Abbu, only Allah knows what has gotten into him.

" Excuse me, are you Aasif?" A girl with blonde hair asked me.

" Yes, and you?" I said rudely.

" I'm Akira, and you don't have to be so rude." She countered.

" Yes I have to and you have no right to speak to me like that." I said and left feeling my anger taking over me. I don't want to marry anyone but her.

Sara's POV:-

" Dad! Dad! Listen to me! Please Dad..." I shouted on top of my voice but it was all in vain. My dad will never ever listen to me.

" Just follow me and don't you dare explain anything to me. Not at least over here." He yelled at me

" Dad please..." I pleaded

" Just shut the hell up and get inside the car." I know he is hurt and by judging his way of talking I know what's gonna happen next. I have seen this face earlier.

I simply followed his command and our journey to the way home was far more than quite. My eyes are burning with the pain of continuous crying. Dad on the other hand didn't even had a glance at his most precious gem in the world.

After reaching home I went straight into my room and cried. I don't even know how am I going to convince him this time. He gave me last warning and by the way he is behaving it's quite clear that he will not even try to hear me this time.

I need to make him understand, I need to convince him. I can't just loose my life like this, I don't even know why he hates Raakib so much. I need to do something, I really need to.  
My tears again found their way out and soon darkness took over me.

.....................

" Sara! Sara wake up!!" Khala Ammi shouted on top of her voice.

" Just 5 more minutes Khala Ammi." I replied still sleepy.

" Ya Allah, Kitna soti hai ye ladki!!"

[ Ya Allah, this girl sleeps too much!!]

She snatched the blanket from me.

" Wake up, your dad is waiting for you and remembering what happened last time we don't want the history to repeat itself, now do we?" She said and the events from previous night came flooding back into my mind.

Yaa Allah! How am I going to make him agree with me!! He won't listen to even a single word of mine! Today will be the death of me!

I ran down the stairs and towards dad's room, I need to convince him at any cost. I know he's hurt badly but that never means I'll leave my studies behind.

" Dad-"

" Don't even try to convince me! You know we had a deal and you broke it!" He yelled at me as soon as I entered the room.

" But dad at least-"

" Sara, please don't make me say anything which I regret later. Do you have any idea of how bad I felt seeing you both together! "

" That day I thought that maybe it was his mistake but this time, this time Sara you yourself know it very well who's mistake it is.

I warned you not to stay anywhere near that boy, you- you even promised me that you'll be away from him then how come he was with you, that too hugging you!" He kept on yelling at me and all I could do was stand and listen to each of his word because I know it's my mistake this time and I have to take responsibility for it.

" Dad, I'm sorry. I know it's my mistake. I know I broke the deal-"

" That's the point Sara, you think you know why I'm angry. You think I'm angry because you broke the deal but what you can't see is that you broke my heart. You have hurt me beta, really bad and now I won't listen to you anymore. Today some people are coming to meet you and I want you to behave. They have already waited a long time for this,  I don't want them to wait anymore  " He said and turned his face from me.

" Dad I know I did a mistake and I'm taking full responsibility for it but please don't do this. Please dad don't-"

" Sara we are done here. Go get yourself ready." He said in the most cold voice he ever used with me.

" Dad do whatever you want but I won't bend this time. I won't sacrifice my future because you don't want to see me with my best friend, actually I don't even know what makes you hate him so much! Whatever it is, if it's more than your love for me then-"

" Sara just shut up and leave! I said we are done. Ayesha! Ayesha! Just take her away and make her ready for today!" He yelled at me and I stood frozen at my spot. Soon Khala Ammi took me with her and all I could do was cry, cry harder and harder every time.

.............................

Sitting in my room I'm waiting for the guests to arrive and decide my future. I hate my life, I hate to think that he is doing this to me. The person who once considered me his most precious gem is now throwing me away just like that.

" Sala appi! Sala appi! Abbu! Abbu fell!! Abbu fell!" Akira came running to me, her eyes full of tears.

I ran down the stairs only to come face to face with the servants running here and there. I ran straight to dad's room and saw the doctor examining him.

" What happened doc?" I asked, concern filled in my voice.

" It's not too serious Sara, just a minor attack but I must say it can turn out to be serious as well." He replied keeping his hand on my shoulder.

" What do you mean doc?"

" I mean there's something eating him up from inside, something's troubling him and if it goes on like this then it won't be late when he gets his third heart attack. Sara ask him, listen to all what he says because any kind of shock can harm him well." He said leaving the room and I stood frozen at my spot. I can't even imagine my one fight can make this happen. I never ever wanted my dad to be hurt because of me.

" Dad, I'm sorry.... I'm really sorry dad... I... I... promise I'll..... I'll...do all what you say...dad.."

" Sara beta, you don't need to say anything. I know I pushed you to limits but you should also know I only wanted your future to be secure. I'm sorry beta, I won't force you anymore." He said

" No dad. I'll do all what you say, I promise dad.... I promise..." And with that today I finally sacrificed my future for him...

" I love you beta.... I love you." Then I stood up and left, wondering how my future life would be.

.........................

" So, how old are you?" The lady infront of me asked.

" Aunty, I'm 22 and will turn 23 this October." I replied calmly.

" What is your education level?" She asked again?

" I'm in my final year of MBA" I replied

" That's great but after marriage, your studies?"

" Don't worry, we have too much and she already knows enough to continue our business. It won't even affect her if she leaves it now." Dad intrupts me and I try my best to hide my tears.

" If that's the case then I'll say we are ready to accept her as our son's bride, now only if he accepts her too then we'll finalize the whole wedding." Finally her husband spoke and there I saw a ray of hope. Only if their son rejects me, I have heard that he has rejected Many girls before.

" Actually there's this only condition from our side, we don't want her to meet any boy Before her marriage." Dad spoke and I face palmed myself.

" Well no problem. I know his choice and I know he won't say no to her. So from our side it is a yes." She said and I felt like killing her right now.

" We can keep the engagement after 2 days and wedding in the following week." Her husband said.

" So it's finalized,

In the coming weeks the Daughter of the Malik's will become the Daughter In Law of the Khan's....." Dad proudly announced and my heart shattered into pieces. Ally dreams came crumbling down.....
