Ahana's P.O.V:

It's already 3pm and I have got to get ready as soon as possible. My makeup artist is late. My dress designer is late and above all I'm confused.

How on the Heaven can I get married and not just married but married to Prince Ahaan! Oh my Allah! Please lead me a way. Bowing my head in Sajda for Asir salah, I realized a quick thought. The weirdest one.

But how is it possible? I completed my dua and sat on my bed. I was lying on stomach when my eyes fell on the side table photograph. My childhood... Our childhood...

*"Aaanaa!!!! Aaaaanaaaa!" Called Ahan.
" What's wrong? And my name is Ahana not Aaanaa." I pouted.
"Doesn't matter! I like it that way." He winked and dragged me down the stairs of the royal palace of mirajgarh. Within a few seconds I was out of the palace in the lawn busy with all sorts of mud business.

"Aaana, look what I got for you?" Ahaan said pleasingly.

"What?" I asked completely excited.

"This!" He said throwing a frog on me.

"Yuck!!!! Ahaan! Take it away! Please! Keep it away!" I shouted and ran inside the house leaving my muddy footprints all the way to the dining hall.

"Hahahahhahhaaha!" I heard his evil laugh. Ahaan you are going to pay for it.

"Aaana! Where are you?" Ahaan shouted.

"My name is Ahana!" I replied.

"Whatever! Come quick, food is ready." He said and ran towards the dining table. Hnm, food... watch out Ahaan jani.

I sat beside Ahaan on the table and admired Madeeha and Ruman bhai playing. They look so adorable!

"How are my delicate little flower buds?" King Sabir asked taking his seat.

"All hungry!" We replied in chorus.

"I want some kheer first!" Ahaan jumped on to the bowl of kheer.

"It's desert!" I complained.

"No I like it that way!" He argued. Yeah right.

"Alright." I gave a short unheardable giggle.

He took a spoon full of kheer and filled his mouth completely.

For a couple of seconds there was pin drop silence.

"Chiiiiiiiiiiiii!! What the! Yuck! What did you do? You little lizard!" He screamed spitting all the kheer on to the floor.

"Just added the sourest lemon to your food!" I replied running from the table.
Ahaan ran behind me struggling to catch me and forget the taste of my special desert. Oh Allah! his face😂😂😂

I reached upstairs and tried to hide my self behind the bed but bat eyes you see, he caught me and then began our pillow fight...*

This picture speaks so much.

"Ahana, your dress is ready and the makeup artist is here." Bhabhi said entering my room.

"Thank you Bhabhi." I gave her a smile. I caressed the picture and taking my dress stepped into the changing room.

I wore the dress and I think it looked really nice. The pink green combo suits my skin colour.

"Ahana, you rea..." Chachi got stunned as she saw me dressed completely into my engagement attire.

I didn't knew I looked a girl today or not.

"How do I look?" I asked her adjusting my dupatta.

"Beautiful." The only word escaped her mouth.

"Don't wear that dupatta, your mother in law sent this one." She handed me a green coloured gem embroidered dupatta.

Chachi helped me in pinning up my dress. After a few nimutes of this and that's when I finally was ready. I stood in front of the mirror and saw someone I haven't met for years. Those twinkling real eyes, that blush on cheeks, the bangles everything was so unique... I looked completely unique.

"Siso! Jiju's family is here!" Afreen banged the door.

I skipped few heartbeats and then took a deep breath.

"Someone looks so beautiful, nervous, excited and..."

"Shut up Maddy!" I scolded Madeeha.

"You are late!" I added.

"I'm sorry! Please please please forgive me." She made the best puppy face she could.

"Deeda is calling us downstairs." Little Maira knocked at the door.

"Coming princess." Madeeha replied and after doing some touch up of her face and dress and my! this girl!

"Madeeha? What are you doing?" I asked her.

"Sorry I forgot. Let's go!" She winked.

I tried to walk but this dress is really annoying. Madeeha saw my difficulty and walked along with me helping with my dress.

"There enters our princess!" Chachu praised as he saw me entering the room. The dining hall was decorated beautifully, with lights and flowers.

"Shall we?" Asked Queen Rehana.

I gave her pleasant smile and sat beside her on the couch.

She took my hand and slipped a beautiful diamond ring into my ring finger.

"Don't worry, it's your hubby's choice." She whispered in my ears and my cheeks turned pink.

I don't know, but I wish if... if he would have slipped this ring by himself.

Everyone started to congratulate me and my family members and within no time the crazy girls began with their dance ceremony!

Ahaan's P.O.V:

Bright lovely morning! Allah miya what is happening? The whole night I kept on thinking over my decision to marry Ahana but I'm still confused. Am I going to betray Sofiya? Or am I...

"Ahaan! Get ready brother, we don't wish to get late." Ravish bhai brought me out of my dream world.

I asked myslef what's so important, it's just engagement. I felt weird to be honest, until yesterday I didn't want to get married and now all of a sudden I'm ready to accept this change? Was this really the real me or was it just me trying to be happy for others? Or was it her making me feel alive again?

I got up from my bed and took a deep fifteen minute shower. I took out my blue tuxedo and got ready. Everyone was excited but me, I was nervous. I was freaking out. Ahana deserved so much better than what she was getting.

I completed with my hair dressing and was about to leave the room when I saw Sofiya's photograph. It hurts!

I miss you love! A tear ran down my cheeks and without a second thought I decided to cancel this engagement.

I ran down the stairs to search for Dad but timing is the most evil thing I have ever met. I saw all my family members dressed up, excited to leave for their new daughter in law's house. I saw their smiling faces, I guess I don't have any rights to take away their happiness, beside I'm doing this for Zohrab... My future Kingdom!

"Ahaan! Come on! Let's go!" I heard Madeeha bhabhi calling me.

I followed her instructions and sat inside the car. The whole journey I was silent thinking of breaking my promise to Sofiya... what if she was here today? How would she have felt?

The car horn brought me out of daze. Wow, we are already at our destination.

Soon the whole bridal family excluding Ahana of course came for our welcome. They all seem really happy... I just simply can't let things go of track at this point or else.. never mind.

I was asked to follow Ruman bhai and I simply nodded. Few minutes later, Ahana's uncle brought a shining platinum ring, it was beautiful indeed but seeing it my heart broke! Shattered into pieces.

He asked me for my hand and Ravish bhai forwarded it.

Allah No! I can't let this happen! This ring will bind me to someone else... I simply just can't move over Sofiya!

"No!" I shouted dragging my hand back, leaving everyone in utter silence.
