---Hussain's POV---

I shut my eyes and raised my hand up for dua, her beautiful face, hear sweet melody voice echoed in my mind. But not for long, Whenever I see her face; with that I also see something terrible, I see a war, blood, screams, tears and hate of all the Harji people around me. I want to love her but always hold myself when the realization hits me. Love in Harji is not easy and plus to love an enemy girl is an another name of a war.

"Ya Allah, Please show me the correct way," I whisper. "I have always prayed that don't let me take any wrong step that will make Abu ashamed of me, but today I am praying for myself for my love, give us power; We have floated in ocean of hate in the boat name love and it's hard to cross this ocean but please show us a right way and help us to reach our destiny." I ended my du'a with both palms, rub my face. I stood up and fold the praying mat and place it on it's right place. I took a deep breath and went outside to see the sunrise.

The black sky gradually turned into the dim grey and the illumination of stars got languidly lustreless. Millions of stars in the ebony sky started hiding their brightness and got slowly dissipate as if someone was going to coming. Divergent birds were gently flying in the manifest sky and their dulcet dawn chorus was easily audible. The first orange hued rays appeared on the skyline, which went through the clouds and the prodigious sky was easily visible. The sun came out of its abode across the brilliant orange horizon and glimmered in the sky. The sparkling sun started slowly rising up the scarlet skyline, which clearly differentiated the sky and the land. Now the warm breeze can be felt and the plants made a beatific smile towards the sun.

"The land of Harji." I spook, " Assalaam Waalekum." I raised my voice.

"My name is Hussain Badshah Khan." I introduced myself to the vast land which was in front of my eyes.

"Love is my religion, love is my belief" I continued. "Love, for which Farhaad tore the heart of the mountains to make the river of milk flow."

"Love, in which Majnu searched every nook and corner of every desert."

"And for that same love, I, Hussain Badshah Khan Son of Badshah Khan is asking the land of Harji to grant me that same love." I spread my arms.

"The test is tough, the exam is difficult, but the hope is headstrong. Love had alway been victorious; It has been happening since ages and it will continue to happen that way, God had been the witness of it."

---Thrid's POV---

On this hand, Hussain was asking the land of Harji for his love and at the same time, somewhere in the palace of Rana. The love of Hussain sounded sleepy and was sleeping peacefully without any tension.

---Mehandi's POV---

"Mehandi, wake up yaar," A voice was continuously annoying me. I lazily open my one eye to see who is that person, that got this much dare to wake Mehandi this early.

"Mehandi, it's Six o' clock." The annoying voice was of Kaser, She is my best friend.

"Kaser, you know I never wake up this early." Kaser slides and opens the white curtains. And with that sparkling sunrise kissed my room and also my face.

"Whatever has not happened till now will begin from today. Your marriage got fixed yesterday." She reminds me of my marriage got fixed made me rolled my eyes. "Now, you're just a guest here for some time. Soon, you'll have to go to your husband's house. Your mother wants you to change your habits. Wake up every morning at five, make your own bed. Then learn how to keep thing organised." She started giving me the lecture which started making me go crazy in the morning.

"I'm not going to change for anyone. l am who l am, tell them that." I also fired back while gathering my messy morning hair back in a loose bun.

"Oh, your cool attitude won't work anymore," She said while sitting next to me. " You're lucky they've chosen you because of your beauty, l hope your manners won't turn them away, Or you'll be a spinster for life," She said everything is one breath and I rolled my eyes. How in the heaven did she become my friend she is someone who is more like a mom and less like a friend?

"Well l am the way l am and l will always be." I stated that clearly and went to take a shower.

I strip down and step slowly into the shower, turning the water on high and letting it beat over my head in steamy rivulets. Closing my eyes to the water as the heat soaks into my skin, I lean against the cool tiles as my weak legs threaten to buckle. The shower curtain is ripped back and I don't even flinch, engrossed as I was with the water cascading down my body and massaging muscles long past cramped. The water pours down, it drops by my side, as my mind fades into dullness and everything is a foggy illusion. The sensation of the steamy water calms me; it takes my mind off things. All the things I honestly don't care about. It's the water. My mind swirls, and it's like I'm standing under an everlasting waterfall. Ever so beautiful, but it can never last, I know that now.

But not for long, my mind flashed down a face; which didn't let me sleep peacefully at night and didn't let me do any work in the morning. I closed my eyes. He splashed in my mind again. I felt my heart begin to race. My eyes traced his tall slender figure, from his messy black hair down to his worn combat boots. The closer he came, the better I could view him. His eyes warm, a range of soft colour. Reminding me of sweet caramel, ageing him quite a bit, but he couldn't be much older than me nonetheless. Seeing him stumble a bit, I relaxed. He was just as nervous as me. I took a deep breath, inhaling his overly strong cologne. Naturally, I found myself nearly gagging on the powerful scent. However, his broad smile prevented that and instead it transformed the night into one I would not want to forget anytime soon.

"Ouch." I wince in pain as all of a sudden hot water burned my skin. I quickly turn off the shower and came out.

-----------------------------

"Oh my goodness look at this Mehandi," Kaser picks up a gold and diamond neckless which just came from my to- be- husband's side. Veer Bhai and Rupa Bhabhi fixed my marriage with our family friend Amar Singh Rathore's family. They want me to get married to their older son Pratap Singh. Pratap and I used to be friends but since the day, he proposed me I started distanced myself from him but he took my rejection as a slap on his face and from that day he became someone I never know and I never wanted to know. I don't want to get marry to him as I love Hussain. I have given myself to Hussain, Now I am Hussain's Mehandi and only he have rights on me, only him no one else.I have lost my heart and soul to him.

"I'll burst with happiness what an elegant outfit and look. l think this jewellery set is antique." Rupa bhabhi's voice bring me back to the reality. "Our Mehandi is very lucky to get a husband like Pratap and a family like Rathore's. Rathore's family have everything. Respectability, money. There's no doubt in that. They have everything by God's grace. There could not be a better match than this. Just pray for them, Whatever you will wish, Pratap will give you in a blink of an eye.." Bhabhi said happily and I inhale a sign.

"I don't want anything from Pratap." I started. "I want his life." I raised my eyes to meet bhabhi's wide eyes.

"What the hell are you saying Mehandi, are you insane," She asked in disbelieve on what I just said. And I shook my head.

"No Bhabhi I am in my state of mind." I asserted and stood up, going to the balcony. " Ok fine will Pratap gave his life for me, Is his love strong for me or it's a show-off," I asked looking toward Bhabhi.

"Honey, There is different between a women's love and a men's love," She said cupping my face. " A woman loves her man with all her heart and soul that she can die for him, but men don't have too much depth that he can love like that," She said each word with all the honesty but that was not the truth. "Now you just have to give Pratap your heart, your soul and yourself to him and fulfil all his desire and I am sure he will also fulfil your desire." She completed and was about to leave when I hold her hand and let out a small sad chuckle.

"But he won't give up his life for me, isn't it?" Once again I asked the same question and She jerked my hand.

"No he won't and Kaser please put some brain in this girl's head. Tell her to stop talking about all this nonsense and make this thing clear that Pratap is her fate and destiny." Rupa bhabhi yelled and She took her step toward the door, I also took a quick step toward her and Jerk her toward the balcony with myself.

"Mehandi, what the hell are you doing, leave me." She tries to leave her hand but my anger and all the mix emotions didn't allow me to leave her hand.

"You said that man's love is different from woman's love right." I almost shouted at her. " Then listen to me, Mrs. Rupa Veer Kumar Rana, There is a man in Khan Mansion who loves me will all his heart, his soul, his is someone who is not scared of anyone as long as I am with him, He someone whose knows that my love is going to kill him but he careless and is willing to give up his life for me. He is the person whose eyes are honest and whose words have honour. He is a man who can forsake everything for a woman. He is someone who doesn't see himself as a Muslim and me as a Rajput and so make this clear in your head neither you can nor god can change this fact that I love a Muslim and I can kill and also die for him." I shouted at her face, I bust out all my feeling with each tear and words my love grew more for Hussain. Rupa bhabhi was in shock but somehow she manage to speak up.

"Well I am just going to say one thing, your kind of love only get destiny in fairy tale and poetry, this is real life, this is Harji and love to an enemy have only one destiny death. No one will care how much is your love true and pure because the hate has more pride then love in Harji; Your love won't make any difference, your love is not going to grow a flower of peace and love in this dead dry barren desert because the hate has so much power that it made an immense ocean into a barren desert." And with that Bhabhi stormed out of the room.

"If hate can change the immense ocean into a barren desert then listen Harji, Hussain and my love is true and no one has the power to change our love in an enmity, no one has the power to separate us, We will make this hate change into love. The test is tough, the exam is difficult, but the hope is headstrong. Love had alway been victorious; It has been happening since ages and it will continue to happen that way, God had been the witness of it."
