Arfa (Kiran's mother) POV.

"Rishta bohat acha ha Kiran k liye I think humein Inkar nahi krna chahiye," I said. Jabbar was sitting right next to me thinking about the proposal for Kiran.

"Bikul larke se to hum mile hue hn Acha ha sabse bari baat Abbiya bhi personally janti ha Unki family ko," He Said.

"Han me Abbiya ko phone kru gi subah. Mene unhe kaha ha k mein Apko Kal tak soch k btau gi" I said

"Han abhi Kiran se b puchna ha usk-" He was cut by me.

"Daikhein Jabbar Kiran ko pata ni kiu shadi phobia ha to wo inkaar hi kare gi Ajeeb si badal gayi ha pichle kuch saalon me use lagta ha k shayd akeli Zindagi guzar sakti ha lekin Bache hn na nahi samjhte bs apni marzi krte hn" I said I was worried about her.

"Arfa hum kiran se puche bagair kisi proposal ko han nahi kr sakte or Ap kiu bhool jati hn usne humse time manga tha or Ab Usko hum samjheyin ge mil k" He said with a smile

"Uski sab doston ki shadiyan hogyi hn bache b hogye hn Sirf wohi Akeli single phir rahi ha wo kabhi nahi samjhe gi" I said

"Arfa har kisi ki life different ha, sabki situation different, soch different ha Kiran ki life different ha, kiran ki situation different ha, kiran ki soch different ha Hum kiu bakiyo se comparison krne baith jate hn? Usko b ehsas ha Hmara insha Allah is bar wo inkaar nhi kare gi waisey b uski baki dostein b to wohi Brazil me hi hn" He was relaxed

"Ap hmesha uski sari batein mante hn apne usse sar pe kiu charhaya hua ha itna! Ye rishta bohat acha ha mujhe tassali b ha k Abbiya janti ha waha sab ko," I said.

"Hahaha betiyan to hoti hi sar pe baithane k liye hain or Ap itni jald baazi na karein" He said and turned on his laptop

"Jald baazi? Such mein? Ye abhi bhi apko jald baazi lag rahi ha? Inkaar pe inkaar sune hn humne uske wo b bagair kisi waja k! me ab uski aik nahi sunu gi" I was angry

"Sun'ni to phir b pare gi zabardasti ka faida nahi ha or Ap itna na sochein mene kaha ha na wo inkaar ni kare gi ab usne mujhse time manga tha Insha Allah ab wo khud ko prepare kr chuki hogi" He was relaxed.

"Arfa pareshan na ho kal baat krein ge usse ok?" He said with a smile

"Thik ha waisey ap baap beti ki team se bhala me kaise jeet payi hn" I said.

"Hala k Ghar pe apka hukum chalta ha" He said and laughed I too laughed with him.

Kiran POV

I was checking all the exam papers. After marking grades I gather each and everything and Put them in my draw.

"Kafi arsa hogya Arzu or Abbiya se baat ni hui" I checked the time and realized it was too late.

"Kal karu gi dono se video call" I stood up and combed my hair.

Bohat mushkil se Shambhala ha khud ko mujhe pata ha mama papa bolte nahi lekin they want me to get married.... Is bar inkaar nahi karu gi. Apni aik lahasil khuwahish k peeche ap logon ko takleef nahi de sakti or.... or waisey b ziyada resist karu gi to waja puchein ge koi faida ni ab in sab cheezon ka.

"Aik na aik din to ye hona hi ha" I laughed at myself

"Mene bohat intizar kiya k Ye sab apne zehan se nikal ln aisa nahi hoska lekin ab me khud ko mana chuki hn wo apni zindagi me khush hoga or mujhe b apni zindagi me khush hona chahiye....... khush nahi b hoskti magar Koshish to kr skti hn na or Mama papa to khush hojayein ge wo b to apni jaga pe thik hn Pareshan hn mere liye"

I opened my locker and took out his pictures some from Abbiya's wedding and some I printed from his social media account. I moved towards the balcony and ensured that everyone was sleeping.

I gathered each and everything in the firepan, ignited the Matchstick, and threw on the pictures soon all the pictures were on fire and I felt that I had set my heart on fire. It was burning yes It was hurting like hell yes I can even feel the smell.

"Aik na aik din to ye hona hi tha" I smile with tears in my eyes. I let you go, Asad.

I don't know for how long I kept staring at the fire.

Jabbar (Kiran's Father) POV.

We all gathered at the dining table for breakfast.

"Kiran Aj fawad ki ptm tum attend krne jao gi college?" I asked her.

"Jee papa me soch rahi hn is bar me khud ho k au iske kartoot zara waziya tor pe pata chalein" She replied

"Han apko aj yaqeen hojyega k me kitna famous hn" Fawad replied

"Han wo to pata chal jayega kin kamon me Famous ho or phir tumhari fame ki aisi taisi me ghar a k karu gi" She replied while Putting toast on her plate. I was sitting silently controlling my laugh.

"Jao Fawad nashta hogya ha to ja k tyar hojao warna late hojyega." Arfa came from the kitchen and joined us.

Fawad left the dining room. Arfa signaled me to talk to her.

"Kiran hum dono ne aik baat krni ha apse" I said

"Jee Papa bolein kiya hua?" She was pouring milk into the glass.

"Aik rishta aya ha apke liye Bohat acha ha Hum dono chah rahe thy apse discuss krlein phir unko jawab dein aj. Larka bohat acha ha or uski family b-" I was cut by her.

"Mama papa apko pasand ha rishta? To mein bhi tyar hn" She said calmly. Arfa eyes shine with happiness.

"Larke ki tasweer to daikhlo Kiran," Arfa said.

"Mama papa Ap logo ne jo bhi pasand kiya hoga acha kiya hoga ap han krdein unko I am fine with it baki tasweer wagera me a k daikhlun gi abhi mujhe dair ho rahi ha" She said calmly.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Han thik ha agar tum razi ho to thik ha lekin behtr ha pehle larka daikh lo" Arfa said.

"Apko kaisa lagta ha?" She asked her

"Acha lagega tumhare sath" Arfa replied with a smile.

"Jb apko acha lagega to mujhe b acha lagega is liye meri tarf se done ha" She said and left.

"Aisa achanak asani se man gyi? Kuch garbar ha" Arfa stated

"Arfa pehle rishte k liye maan nahi rahi thi tb ap Pareshan thin ab man gyi ha ab ap Pareshan ho rahi hn koi garbar nahi ha mene apko kal hi kaha tha ab wo inkaar nahi kre gi samajhdaar bachi ha wo" I assure her

"Han ye to ha ye achanak wala Kiran ka reaction surprise tha hmare liye" She said.

"Han wo to tha ab I think Kiran ne keh diya to apko unko han keh deni chahiye" I said.

"Han me pehle Abbiya ko phone krti hn phir unko jawab deti hn" Happiness was evident on her face. I was happy too.

I was sitting in my cabin and received a text from Abbiya Bhabhi.

Abbiya Bhabhi: "Mubarak ho apki haseena ne han krdi ha abhi phone aya tha Arfa aunty ka."

Me: "Hain? Ye itna smoothly kaise chal raha ha mujhe thik nahi lagra kuch"

I was shocked. Abbiya Bhabhi's caller ID started blinking on my phone I picked up her call.

"Asalam o Alaikum bhabhi," I said and she was laughing I could hear Aqib chuckles also. The phone was on Loudspeaker

"W.salam Asad bhai kiya hogya ha apko" She was laughing.

"Nahi Matlab ap ki dost man kaise gyin?" I was in denial state.

"Na man'ne ki koi waja?" She asked.

"Pata nahi lekin" I was literally shocked.

"Ajeeb admi ho bhai? Ab kis khushi me bolti band hogyi ha hala k Shadi hone k bad hota ha aisa" Aqib said while laughing.

"Jee bikul" Abbiya Bhabhi replied his statement and this time I laughed.

"Bhabhi apne baat ki Kiran se?" I asked her.

"Ap khud kiu nahi krlete?" She replied.

"Jee mein?" I asked.

"Nahi muhalley wale tum itna kis khushi me dar rahe ho?" Aqib said.

"Aisa kuch ni ha" I replied.

"Believe me bohat achi ha meri dost Me use khud b baat kru gi lekin mere khiyal se apko pehle use contact krlena chahiye me number text kr rahi hn" Abbiya bhabhi said.

Soon we hung up the call and I saw Bhabhi's text. I copied her number and gave her a call without any second thought.

Kiran pov

I was driving back home from my college and literally I don't want to think about anything.

Bs jo hogya thik ha yehi hona tha akhir kar.

My phone ringtone broke the chain of my thoughts. I parked my car beside the road and pick up my phone it was a call from an unknown number and it was an international number

I pick up the call.

"Asalam o Alaikum Kiran baat kr rahi hn" My heartbeat skips. I could recognize his lethal voice.

"W.salam" I could only reply. My hands were cold and I was literally zoned out.

"Asad baat kr raha hn" He said on the other side of the phone. A tear slip from my eyes. I thought I lost my talking ability

"Suna ha apne Shadi k liye haan krdi ha apko Mubarak baad deni ha waisey raazi ha ap?" He said and blood started boiling.

"Han krdiya ha phir? Apni Mubarak apne pas rakho! Sirf yehi puchne k liye mujhe phone kiya tumne? Mazak ura rahe ho mera? Balke tumne mujhe phone kiya hi kiu ha? Ab kiu yaad agyi tumhe meri? Ainda phone na krna mujhe warna bohat bura paish au gi" I said and hung up the call.

Uncontrollable tears were flowing from my eyes. I feel suffocated I instantly get out of the car to get fresh air

"Tumhari himmat kaisi hui mujhe phone krne ki kiu Asad!!!! chordo mera peecha" I was crying. My legs were trembling I again sat inside the car and cried my heart out.

"Jitna door bhag rahi hn utna Kisi bhoot ki trha mujhse chimat gaye ho tumhara masla kiya ha aj Meri yaad kaise agyi? Zaroor abbiya me bataya hoga use mere rishte k bare mein" I pick up my water bottle and drink water to calm down myself. After all, I was going home.

São Paulo
Brazil

Asad pov.

I was sitting with my phone in my hand like a Statue. I was unable to understand what just happened to me right now.

"Itna gussa mohtarma bharak to ni uthin kahi mere proposal pe? Nahi nahi.... koi or waja hoskti ha naraz to nahi hogyin?" I was confused.

"I think bhabhi pehle baat krlein phir me bhabhi se hi mil k baat kru ga. Abhi to kuch smjh nahi a raha."

Lahore.
Pakistan

I entered the living room and Papa was discussing something.

"Ao baitho" Papa said and I sat beside him.

"Royi ho?" He said right looking into my eyes.

"Han papa me gir gyi thi zor se," I tell a lie.

"Choat to nahi lagi?" Mama asked.

"Nahi Me thik hn" I replied.

"Acha tum baitho me pani lati hn" She left

"Kiran khush to ho?" Papa asked.

"Han bikul khush hn I trust you both Papa" I replied and he kissed my cheek.

"Pakka? " he said and I assured him

"Apko kaisa laga?" I asked him

"Sach btau to Mujhe or tumhari mama ko ye larka bohat acha laga balke ab tk tumhare jitne b proposal aye hn unme ye sabse best ha" He said and I smiled.

"Acha tasweer to daikhlo" Mama entered the living room.

Mama handed me her phone and my senses were blown away. I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Asad naam ha Larka doctor ha or Aqib ka dost ha yaad ha na last time Brazil me tumhare papa ki tbiyt khrab hui thi to check up k liye aya tha. Unke Ghar walon ko tum pasand agyin isliye unho ne proposal bhej diya" Mama was telling and I was speechless just looking at her like a maniac.

Kiran act normal please yaha nahi rona. Calm down.

"Oh acha" I said with a smile.

"Humne unhe han kehdiya ha Baki Asad ki ammi se baat hui thi wo kehrae thi k wo log Aik bar hi Pakistan ayein ge shadi k liye is mamle ko ziyada delay nahi krna chahte agey Asad k Exams hn specialization kr raha ha wo Or busy hojyega wo or agey hospital se chutti milna b mushkil ha or pata nahi kb free ho isliye jald hi shadi krna chahte hn, date wagera bhi jaldi hi decide krlein ge hum" She said

"Acha jaisa thik lage ap logo ko me change kr k ati hn" I nearly ran to my room.

I entered and locked the door. I was in a state of shock.

I started to cry. It was frustration? Or, anger? Or what? Whatever it was I couldn't figure it was an unbelievable dream or a miracle and....and it was mixed feeling.

I don't remember how many hours I have been crying. But I was feeling so good after many years of crying and immense pain.

Wo Meri qismat mein likh diya gaya tha ain us din jab me use dastbardar hogyi thi.

I remember His phone call and my answer

Thik thak baizzati ki ha uski bhala wo mere rishte pe mujhe Mubarak kiu de ga? Itne time se rabta ni tha or yehi aik kam krna tha usne? Kitni Bewakoof hn mein. Pata nahi kiya soch raha hoga.
