The hustle bustle caused her to stir up in her sleep. Drafting again into a dreamland, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She whined and half layed on the other pillow. Ziya shooked her head and sat beside her. "Rooh beta utho" she said smiling at her Rooh's habit of pouting even in sleep.

Rooh opened her eyes, adjusting on her bed. She saw Zareen arranging various outfits in her wardrobe.

"Aunty ap kya kar rahi h?" She asked rubbing her eyes.

"Uth gayi humari gudiya.. hum apke naye jore rakh rahe h" Ziya said arranging them.

"Naye jorr kyu?" Rooh asked confusingly.

"Ap toh zar se bhi zyda bhulakkad h!" Ziya said chuckling.

"Zar kon aunty?" Rooh asked giggling.

"Humari beti, Zareen aayengi wo aaj milengi ap unse?" Ziya asked keeping her new footwear boxes aside. Rooh nodded with excitement.

"Aunty aaj kuch h?" Rooh asked peeking out of her rooms window... finding all the helpers cleaning and decorating the haveli.

"Humari nand aaj kafi saalo baad wapas aayi h Australia se.. aaj unke bete Rehab ki sagayi h" she said being soo happy.

"Acha ye bhot khushi ki baat h" Rooh said giggling.

"Wese ap soo gyi thi.. Ruhaan ko office bhej kar? Tabiyat thik h apki?" Ziya asked worryingly. Rooh nodded smiling. "Aj uni off hena toh humne socha thoda soo liya jaye"

Ziya nodded agreeing. "Chaliye ap tayar ho jaye. Hum nastha bhijwate h, or fir ap Eira ke sath parlour chali jana" ziya said making her nod.

While Eira came pouting, "mama meri baat sune ap.. hum Rooh ko yahi chor jayenge" hearing this Ziya gasped.

"Kyu beta?" Ziya asked worryingly.

"Oho mama ap bhi na darr jati h baat baat pe.. Ruhaan or Rooh privacy nhi deni?" Eira whispered looking here and there so that no one hears her! Ziya chuckled and nodded giving thumbs up. Good idea.

The day passed with tayari shayari... soon it was time to leave for old haveli. Wajid was all grumpy as Ziya was too excited to meet Rehab after soo many years.

"Ap kyu muh phula ke bethe h!?" She asked teasing him. He rolled his eyes and Rooh served him tea.

"Wo bacha h Wajid sahab, ap toh bacho se bhi jealous ho rhe h ab" Ziya said teasing him more. He grumpily looked away. Acting all naraz. Rooh smiled at this cutest couple.

She mentally wished for their happiness and safety. Meanwhile Saad enteres, Eira squealed and quickly ran towards him.

"Saad me kesi lag rahi hu?" She asked smiling wholeheartedly.

Saad's heart skipped beats. "Masha Allah ek dum hoor" he complimented.

"Hena i know. Me hu hi itni pyari" she giggled and he too chuckled.

"Beta ap kyu abhi tak ready nhi ho?"ziya asked to Rooh.

"Woh.. aunty..  hum kya karenge waha jakar...humm.." Rooh said fidgeting her fingers.

"Tum aa rahi ho bss mene keh diya toh keh diya, chalo me tumara makeup karti hu" Eira said dragging her upstairs.

Saad shooked his head mumbling, "Allah bachaye Rooh ko Eira ki skills se" and his parents chuckled.

While here Ruhaan was busy with his files. When his phone rang, he answered the call without checking who was it. It was Rehab.

"Ruhaan kaha h tu?" Rehab asked whining like a kid.

"Mars par hu! Zaheer h iss waqt office me hi honga na!" Ruhaan said rolling his eyes.

"Bhai dekh tu jldi aja.. mama ne muje pagal kr dena h!" He said narrowing his eyes at his mom who was asking him to try all the sherwanis, shirts and outfits she ordered for him.

Ruhaan chuckled and said, "sahi h, ye teri problem h tu handle kar me aa rha hu lekin sirf intezam dekhne" Ruhaan said smirking. Rehab glared at the phone

Ruhaan quickly took his coat and marched out of his building. Driving to old haveli. Till evening he looked for all the arrangements.

He than went to pick up Rehab & Roohi's engagement rings.

Till know the guests started arriving. He was welcoming the guests.. when he saw his family coming. He searched for someone who was not present there.

Eira wiggled her eyebrows at him while Saad told him.. it was Eira's plan to leave Rooh back alone.

Ruhaan without any second thought drove to pick Rooh. After span of 1 hour as he was stuck in traffic he reached haveli.

As paced quickly to upstairs.. asking each helper about her. "Rooh ko dekha h?" He asked and all nodded in no.

With a loud beating heart, he pushed opened her rooms door. Where she was mumbling to herself.. "hum kese jaye unki engagement me.. humare paas koi tofa bhi nhi h.. bina tofe ke jayenge toh kya sochenge" she fidgeted her fingers thinking.

While his eyes scanned her, she looked too beautiful. He cleared his throat gaining attention. She stood up and looked down. ..

"Chale?" He said and she meekly nodded.

As she took a step towards him.. he said, "mere sath aao" with this she quietly followed him.

He unlocked his room and removed a couple bags filled with gifts for the couple.
"Ye tofe h, humari taraf se unke liye" he said making her nod.

She mentally scoffed and thought, "ye jallad jin kabse itne ache ho gye? Koi saya waya toh nhi char gye inhe"

While he raised his one eyebrow.

"Suna mene" he said nodding curtly. Her eyes widened and she quickly took the gifts and ran downstairs. While he shooked his head.

As they reached haveli. Ruhaan made sure to hold Rooh's hand. As he doesn't want anyone to think low of her. She was soon to be a Nawab's wife. But less she knew.

As they entered the haveli. All the eyes snapped towards them. The royal entry had all the charm and attention. Rooh was feeling soo awkward. She just kept looking down. Ruhaan held her hand and stood in the middle.

The party was huge! Almost the whole kingdom was invited.

"Shayad bade nawab ki biwi h ye" Rooh heard the whisperes.

Ruhaan smirked at the whisperes and with the snap of fingers.. Rooh was showered with rose petals. She gasped and smiled.

"Malika E Rooh,.. zoja e Ruhaan ka istakbaal kiya jata h" announced Ruhaan and the people cheered. Rooh was shocked. He literally holds such powerful yet strong aura.

The people of his kingdom congratulated him. While Eira happily took her too meet the other people of kingdom. Where she met all the khan villa people and specially Zareen. Who was soo humble and cute.

While here Roohi was shocked, surprised and happy. "Rehab.. yrr apka bhai kya couple goals set kr rha h!!" She said giggling.

Rehab rolled his eyes. "Milogi nhi Rooh se?" He asked and she nodded cutely.

He held her hand took her towards Puzzled Rooh. She softly said her salam to Rehab and Roohi. Rooh too was shocked too meet Roohi.

"Adaab Malika E Rooh.. iss nachiz ko Roohi kehte h" Roohi said flipping her hair.

Rehab smiled at her cuteness.

"Salam humara naam Rooh h" Rooh said making everyone chuckle.

"We all know.. tum toh meri humshakal nikli hmm.. btao btao or kya kya same h tumare pass" asked Roohi making Eira chuckled.

Rooh looked at her dumbstrucked.

"Ap bhot khoobsurat h" Rooh said complimenting.

"Aww apse kam" roohi waved her hands. Soon Ziya took Rooh towards Neziha, where Rooh broke into tears and hugged Neziha. She took hugged her lovingly.

"Meri bachi.. kesi h ap? Tabiyat kesi h ab?" She asked and Rooh nodded.

"Apko bhot yaad kiya humne" Rooh said sniffing.

"Ohoo roo nhi ab.. dekhko warna Ruhaan apne ghurne se hum sab ko zameen me phocha dega" said Roohi giggling. Rooh's eyes snapped to him, who was already looking at her.

"Chalo me apni khan paltan se milwati hu" Eira said dragging her.

After some time,  Roohi was busy talking to Rooh and khan youngsters. Rehab's eyes were on her again and again. She looked elegant in her jora.

His eyes snapped towards a green laser light, that was aiming on her. He looked around and quickly gave a signal to Ruhaan. Ruhaan gave a nod. Both looked around searching the one who was aiming target.

Rehab smoothly blocked the targets way, by pulling Roohi into a large group.

She flinched at sudden pull, "ap? Ap kya kar rahe h?" She asked innocently blinked her eyes at him.

He looked at her, the purity she holds. He holded her by her waist... leaning down at her level. "Your dress zip is slightly opened" he whispered.

"What the hell! Plz help me.." she said with shock. He gave a small nod and escaped to a corridor where no one present.

She slowly turned around.. he pulled up the zip in no seconds. "Roohi, mere sath rehna.. its not safe to be alone ok?" He said looking here and there.

"Muje kya hoga?" She asked shrugging. Meanwhile they heard a gunshot! Roohi flinched and hugged Rehab. He chuckled and said, "abhi koi bhot bahadur ban rha tha?"

"Shut up!! Yaha masoom ladki dari huyi h apko mazak suj rha h!" She said glaring at him. He chuckled making her smile.

"Ok ok nhi kr rha mazak... chalo ring ceremony ka time ho gya h" he said streching his hand infront of her.

"But wo gunshot" she said confusingly.

"Aaam baat h, ignore.. " he said shrugging. She confusingly held his hand and walked out.

While here Ruhaan held Rooh's hand in a tight grip, keeping an eye on everyone.
The Bluetooth placed in his ear.. beeped. He hummed and Rooh turned to him raising her eyebrows.

Ruhaan's heart skipped a beat at her attention. She response too quickly. He mentally noted.

Hearing such important information, he kept gazing at her, who was know awkwardly shifting her weight.

No doubt she looked mesmerising.

Wajid sahab took the lead to announce Rehab's engagement. Rehab's eyes went to Ruhaan who smirked and held Rooh by her waist. Making her shock and her cheeks turned crimson.

Rehab slided the ring and softly kissed Roohi's knuckles making her heart skip a beat. Eira along with her cousins cheered for the paltan.

After rings were exchanged.. Rehab made sure not to leave Roohi alone.

While Ruhaan too held Rooh closer. She wiggled in his hold.

He looked down at her saying, "itni asaani se azaad nhi hone wali ap"

She looked at him and frowned.

"Matlab kya h apka? Kya chal rha h apke shaitani dimag me ab?" She questioned.

He chuckled smirking. "Badla" as the word rolled on his tongue. Rooh's body stiffened.

"Chahte kya h ap?" She asked unbelievingly.

"Kuch khas nhi,... " Ruhaan said acting innocent.

Their attention went to another announcement, and they clapped.

"Chalo Roohi bhabi or Rehab ko congratulate krte h" he said and she nodded in yes.

As they approached near the couple. Roohi beamed happily at Ruhaan." Ruhaan bhai ap or Rooh bhot pyara couple h"

Rooh stiffened as Ruhaan smiled. "Apse kam h" Ruhaan said teasing Roohi. Roohi chuckled and Rehab smiled at her.

They chit chattered for sometime. While the elders decided the nikkah dates after a week. Dropping the bomb on boys.. Ziya and Neziha said, "Ruhaan or Rehab ap dono Saad ke sath dusri haveli jaaye, or nikkah tak ap dono ladkiyo se nhi mil sakte" they both exchanged looks.

While girls stiffened at their fates. Less they knew the two brothers had already digged their history.!
