The best feeling is, when you look at him and he is already starring.

Sitting in the classroom, she was doodling on her notebook while leaning her chin on the bench.

"What are you thinking?" Abeer asked as she came inside and kept her bag beside Maha as she eyed her who looked at her and pouted.

"They all will come in evening." She said making Sanaya roll her eyes.

"This is the fifth time you are telling this." Sanaya said and pulled away the notebook.

"Its weird." She finally said looking at the duo making them sigh.

"Why? Its just the exchange of rings and gifts." Abeer said.

But before they could talk more, Azlan entered the class making the noises stop. His eyes fell on Maha who was standing in the mid row. She had her eyes downwards. Unknowingly, a smile graced his lips looking at her.

"What are you doing here?" Azlan asked, looking at Maha who was standing by the staffroom.

"Waiting for my friends and then I will leave." She said looking at him as she fidgeted with the lace of her top.

"Half day?" He asked looking around making her nod.

"Uhm.. I needed to talk to you about few things Maha." He said making her look at him in confusion. He had seriousness etched on his face.

"About what?" She asked, looking at him with narrowed eyes.

"Can we meet in evening?" He asked finally making her pissed.

"If you have no interest in this marriage, then why the hell are you marrying me Mister?" She asked angrily as her temper rose.

"I didn't understood." He looked at her in confusion.

"Your mother came yesterday. Today there is a small engagement ceremony just between our families and you don't even know this. I am sorry Azlan but if your this nonchalant behaviour is going to be continued then kindly tell your mother that you have no interest in marrying me."she said looking at him in disappointment. Unknowingly in just a month, she had seen her entire future with him and his nonchalant attitude hurted her.

He pinched the bridge of his nose as reality struck him hard. Of course, he was known to this as he himself chose the clothes and jewellery for her but he didn't knew that it was today. A sudden guilt raised in his heart as he registered her words. Leaving everything behind,she is coming into his life just keeping her faith on her parents and him.

He opened his mobile phone to see his mother messaged the same during class.

Sitting on the bed, Maha was in deep thoughts when Arsh entered her room.

"What happened Princess?" He mockingly said, pinching on the back of her palm which was resting on her cheeks. Coming out of her thoughts, she looked at him and then nodded in no.

"You know I am your only brother. So, you should share everything with me." He said holding her hands as he looked into her eyes and finally she bursted into tears hugging him tightly.

"Is it a right decision Arsh?" She asked in a broken voice making Arsh panick as he pulled her away from his chest and cupped her face.

"Why are you saying this?" He asked scared.

"I don't know but Azlan's behaviour is forcing me to rethink on my decision. I don't want to regret it at any cost." She said as he wiped away her tears.

"I have met Azlan Bhai and honestly, I feel he is good. Though, he is calculative and speaks really less, but the way he cares for his siblings and family is beautiful. He had worked under Bade Abbu for 10 months and only in that, he had impressed him to such an extent. It will take time for you to form a bond with him. It won't come suddenly. But still if you are confused then think again and talk to him about it. I want the best for my sister and I will settle for the best only."he said making her smile as he lightly pecked her hairs leaving her room.

Just as he left, Abeer and Sanaya entered inside with a huge smile on their faces. They both were wearing cream and peach Anarkali respectively and looked like a diva.

"You both look gorgeous." She said making them smile.

"We know that darling. Now its your turn to get ready for your mister." Sanaya said smirking at her but immediately frowned seeing dried tear stains on her cheeks.

"Maha, you were crying?" Cupping her face, Sanaya asked while Abeer who was pulling out Maha's dress too frowned.

"You are fine. Right?" Abeer asked holding her hands.

"If I have such great friends and such a great family, what would happen to me?" She said making them smile.

"I will go and change." She said looking at the dress and went inside the washroom.

"What do you think Sanaya?" Abeer asked sitting on the bed.

"I don't know why but my gut feeling is that he will keep her really happy. A relationship is always two sided, just hope for the best." She said when her phone ringed and a smile came on her lips as she looked at the phone screen where a man was pecking her forehead and she was smiling widely.

"Miyaan ji ka phone hain." Abeer teasingly said as she collided her shoulder with Sanaya making her roll her eyes but before she can pick it up, Abeer already picked it up.

(Its your husband's call.)

"Sana, when are you coming back?" As the phone went on speaker, Ahad's desperate voice was heard fron the other side making Abeer laugh looking at Sanaya who turned red.

"Quite missing your wife. Isn't it jiju?" Abeer said making Ahad's eyes went wide.

"Abeer, how are you?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck.

"Your wife is absolutely fine jiju. And we are busy. Bubye." She said as she hanged up the call and looked at her bestie who was passing glares at her.

"Let me send him your photo." Abeer said clicking a picture of angry Sanaya and sent it to Ahad while all Sanaya did was puffed up her face knowing it was useless to argue with her bestie.

fter getting ready, Maha was brought down when her eyes fell on Azlan who was dressed in a prussian blue tuxedo and looked really handsome with his hair perfectly gelled up and was sitting on the Sofa talking to her father. His mother smiled getting up and coming towards her.

"Mashallah! You look gorgeous." She said, cupping her face making Maha smile at her. Taking Maha's hand, Samreen made her sit beside Azlan who scooted away a little for her to become comfortable. He passed her smile while she just looked at his sister, smiling at her who side hugged her.

Dressed in a off white heavy Indian full sleeve Gown with zari work and a heavy dupatta on her right shoulder, hairs tied up in a messy bun, she looked a complete enchantress. His mother came forward as she made her wear a red dupatta and then pleasantries were exchanged.

Exchanging the ring, Azlan looked at her who had her eyes fixed elsewhere. Everyone were busy in their own business.

"Maha, I apologise for morning. I knew about this but it just slipped out of my mind." He said guiltily, looking at her who just looked at him and closed her eyes.

"Trust me, I am serious about this Relationship. I will put my 100% to it, I swear." He said looking at her. She was sitting at the other side of sofa having distance of about 30 cm between the duo. She looked at him to see the genuineness in his eyes. She nodded at him, smiling lightly.
