RIMSHA'S POV :

I opened my eyes and found myself on bed covered with blanket but I was surprised to see Saad sleeping on the sofa, I was supposed to woke up before Saad enter the room But I was already late to realise it...

Glancing at the clock I found 3:45 of night, I again closed my eyes and was captured by thousands of thoughts.  The first one who came in my mind was no one else but Maaz, then my dad who played with my life and then...

Saad, my so called husband. I again open my eyes to saw him, he was sleeping on sofa without covering himself with blanket. Witnessing him in same room my blood got a boil and I immediately averted my eyes.

I hate Saad, he have not married me, but have taken an advantage of my condition. It's not a Marriage for but compulsion. But I will never give her any right over myself. He marry me for his happiness but I will make sure to give him hard time, I'll be your wife only on paper work. I wanted to tell him everything on his face but I didn't want to gave him any chance to talk to me.

Closing my eyes again tried to sleep and I don't know when sleep consumd me?

<><><>

The light rays were falling on my face, I could sence that even with closed eyes, but I wanted to sleep for more time. I suddenly opened my eyes,when I felt a soft kiss on my left cheek, and my eyes met with the pair of gray orbs...
He smiled looking at me and unwillingly a smile creeped to my lips. I wasn't expecting my morning like that.

"Good morning" He said sweetly and I made myself sat up on the bed.

"Good morning" Kissing on his cheek I replied and he blushed sweetly.

I turned my head to saw sofa which was empty it means Saad wasn't in room, the best thing of my day.

"Mami, don't you go school?" Zain asked and I again look at him.

"No" I replied and he made a pout.

I never like any kid in my life, they always made me irritated with their squell. Even whenever anyone with small kids visited our home, I use to took my car and went for outing untill they left. But zain was a different story, he was very cute.

"Why you don't go school? Haven't your birthday come yet?" Zain asked and I was confused with his question but he was he was waiting for answer, looking at me with puppy eyes. I shook my head in reply because I didn't had any idea about the answer

"Papa told me that I'll go school after my birthday" He added happily and I nodded. I wanted to sleep again but that little boy was not leaving me with his overexcited questions. He was asking me numerous unexpected questions including five colours name, and five animal names and what not?

"Zain you sit here I will be back in five minutes" I said and the gray eyed boy nodded with his small smile.

"Mami.." He utter but that small word worked as a dagger in my heart, which make me feel that now I'm saad's wife.

"I want to watch cartoon." He said I nodded. after turning on TV for him, I went to bathroom to fresh and up.

When I stepped out from the bathroom after taking shower zain was still sitting on bed with folded legs and watching cartoons.

"Mami come, watch this" Zain said in overexcited way and I nodded but my mind was running for Maaz.

Sitting beside Zain I picked my mobile to dialled Maaz's number but even after fifteen attempts my call was not connecting. That was strange. I texted him many times but that wasn't delivered. Then I realised...

"He blocked me!" I mumbled and my eyes were pooled up with tears but I held them, and I listened a voice.

"Zain what are you doing here?" Saad entered the room and asked

"Mama I'm watching cartoon with Mami" He replied and I preferred to made my way towards window. As I didn't wanted to saw his face.

"Beta, Your mummy is looking you everywhere and you are sitting here, go to your mummy" I listened saad's voice but I didn't turned to saw him.

I didn't wanted to saw his face ever. I moved towards the side table of bed and picked my old car keys. Though dad gave each and every thing in the form of gift, including a car but I decided to not use that car, even not anything else. Thats why I called my driver to brought me my car from my parental home.

"Rimsha where are you going?" Saad's voice stopped me to go outside the room. I turned and looked into his eyes.

"Why do you think I will answer you?" I asked while shutting the door again

"Rimsha why we can't make our life better?" His words made me more angry.

"Saad what do you think of yourself? When you wanted to be married with me, you did without my will. And now you wanted me to be happy with you. Am I a puppet?" I asked angrily and he held my hands in his.

"Sit here and let's talk about everything" He said trying to be wise enough but I jerked his hand.

"I don't want to even look at you. you are thinking about discussion?!"

SAAD'S POV:

"Sit here and let's talk about everything" I said politely. I knew she was hurt dew to Maaz, but she had to understand the reality. I Wanted her to believe that Maaz was not hers anymore and she was mine only and only mine, But she Jerked  my hand.

"I don't want to even look at you. you are thinking about discussion?!" Her eyes were full of hate, her words were full of poison which killed my soul that day. I was numb on her behaviour. She was not sounding like the girl who made me crazy with her first glance, she wasn't that Rimsha which was my friend.

She wasn't a sweet natured girl ever, she was stubborn, arrogant and reserved natured one from the day I knew her, but I never saw that much hate in her eyes for anyone else, which was for me.

"Rimsha where are you going?" I handle my condition and asked her when she open the door to step out from room holding her purse and car keys, she turned to glare me and again took steps towards the door but I held her wrist and dragged her inside the room.

"How you dare to touch me again?" she tried to freed herself but I didn't

"Rimsha today is our reception, home is full of guests. Just think what will everyone say?" I asked and she glared me.

"My foot, I don't care what others will say, hell with them." She said loudly unlike before when she was talking in whisper.

"Rimsha, don't shout out.... Everyone will listen" I tried to made her understand but she was glaring me continously

"Let everyone know what you and my parents had done with me" she said angrily, her voice was still high.

"Rimsha.. Rimsha.. Calm down and listen" I tried to say as lovingly as I could but she jerked my hand. She opened her mouth to say something when I mummy came there.

"What is going on here?" she asked angrily glaring me and Rimsha.

"Nothing mummy" I said and mummy looked at Rimsha.

"Why are you shouting?" Mummy asked and we both were silent, Rimsha turned her face to other side, which I didn't like, she had problem with me my mother or family wasn't involved in anything.

How could she disrespect my mother?

"Saad everyone is asking why the newly wedded couple are arguing?" Mummy said with anger and disappointment but I was helpless.

"Mummy its nothing, you go we both are coming" I ensure her and both Rimsha and mummy glared me.

Luckily mummy left the room and I suddenly locked the door.

"Rimsha..." She didn't let me comlete

"left my way, I have to go, you can't cage me inside the home like this"

"I'm not caging you inside, You can go everywhere whenever you want to but please try to understand its not the correct time. Its the matter of reputation, what will everyone say?" I said and she looked at me, this time I saw a broken girl in her tear filled eyes but she gulped that tears and took a deep breath.

"Saad I hate you, I hate my dad, I hate my destiny" She said and I smiled

"But I love you, and I'll always love you, and one day you will also love me, as I have promisd you earlier" I said the truth and she sat on bed after glaring me.

"In your finest dream" She said and I shook my head.

"In reality my love" I mouthed and she turned her face to other side.

THIRD PERSON'S POV :

Rimsha was sitting in front of mirror when Samra entered in the room.

"Bhabhi why are you not changing? She is waiting for doing your Makeup." Samra said and unwillingly  she nodded her head then picked the lehenga.

After sometime a lady entered in room with Simra, who was an makeup artist. she did Rimsha's makeup and my hair. In all time she was feeling like a dummy on which some beauty experiments was taking place, that lady took almost an hour to made Rimsha ready for reception function then she left the room leaving Rimsha alone in the room as a lifeless frame convert in maroon lehenga which was covered with silver and golden work, with matching jewellery.

Saad entered the room and tried to blink his eyes but that got stuck on her he was gazing her as that was the thing for what he was on the earth but his trance got damaged when she found him staring at her.

Rimsha made herself stand but before she could took steps towards door, Saad held her wrist, which was full of golden and maroon bangles.

"You are Looking beautiful" Saad said and pecked her forehead in no time, she didn't got a chance to understand what he was going to do but.

"Stay away" Pushing him she said angrily and headed towards the door of the room.

==============

Both of them were sitting on to stage when A girl came towards them.

"How are you both?" Kinza (Rimsha's , Maaz's and Saad's common friend) asked with expressionless face

"I'm Fine" Saad replied with a fake smile and Kinza looked at Rimsha.

"Rimsha please... Smile my dear" Kinza said and got a glare in reply.

"Kinza please don't rub salt on my burns" Rimsha said rudely and Saad looked at Kinza then Rimsha.

Saad got a heart break again, there were few minutes when Ateeq and Farha (Rimsha's parents) went to stage.

"Rimish, my bachcha you are looking beautiful" Embraceing her daughter in a warm hug Farha said lovingly but Rimsha felt wetness in her eyes.

"Mum I don't want to talk to you" She said in whispered and her mother looked at her after breaking the hug. Ateeq gestured Saad to come to the corner of hall as he wanted to talk to his son-in-law.

"Rimish beta don't make your life difficult, Saad love you very much. Otherwise he never wanted to marry you" Farha said cupping Rimsha's cheeks and Rimsha had tears in her eyes.

"Rimish don't cry, what will everyone think?" Farha asked and Rimsha looked at her mother.

'You all are same everyone is thinking about others no one is interested in knowing about my condition' Rimsha said to herself and sat down on the wedding sofa.

"Don't cry again" her mother patted her cheek and said in hushed tone. In the time being Saad and her father came back.

Ateeq tried to talk to Rimsha but she didn't glanced at her father. Hopelessly he went down from the stage but he got shocked to saw a handsome figure passed by him and Farha.

That man was Maaz who came to attend His best friend (Saad) and his ex-girlfriend's (Rimsha) wedding. Maaz introduced his wife to Rimsha's parents arrogantly And headed towards the stage holding his Rabiya's (Maaz's wife) hand, where Bride was sitting with lower gaze, beside her husband. Everyone was praising beauty of bride, and their adorable pair.

Going up on stage Maaz's gaze went to Rimsha, for a moment his heart beat differently after watching Rimsha with someone else but he suddenly averted his gaze from her face and looked at Rabiya who was standing beside him, and smiled.

RIMSHA's POV:

*Flashback*

I was sitting in a small room of  marriage hall swaddled in the bridal attire. My mum and aunties were standing near me, we all were waiting of the baraat. And I was waiting for my Maaz.

When my phone started ringing, that was his call, a smile played on my lips.

"Hello" I slowly said.
But there was a silent from other side for almost a minute

"Hello.." I said again

"Are you ready my bride?" Maaz asked and I start blushing

"Yeah.." I only said this as mum and aunties were there.

"I'm coming to make you Mrs. Rimsha Maaz" He said and hangup the call, a smile played on my face. My heart was beating differently, each and every moment which we spent together was running in my mind.
The most beautiful moments of my life. I was remembering the day when he proposed me.

After sometime the barat arrived and my heart was fluttering.

"You are looking beautiful, Maaz will became crazy" Kinza came to me and said mischievously

"I'm offended with you, you came with barat! Are you from his side? You are my best friend not Maaz's" I happily said

"I wanted to be welcomed so I arrived with baraat." She replied in teasing way.. In the time being one of my cousin entered the room she was in hurry and panic.

"Mami..." She call my mum while puffing badly

"What happened beta, why are you..." Mum was asking about her condition but she couldn't let her complete

"Ateeq Mama and Father of Maaz bhai  are quarrelling" My cousin informed us and Mum, and my aunty scoot to there.

After almost twenty minutes when mum and aunty didn't came back I made myself stand to went outside.

"Where are you going?" My aunt asked who was standing near me.

"I'm going to check what is going on" I said in hurry

"No you are bride, you can't go like this" She stopped me but my heart was feeling fear I send kinza to check out the situation but she also didn't came for almost half an hour..

My heart was sinking in my stomach.

"Aunty please tell me what is going on" I asked to my aunt in the state of frightening

"I don't know what is going on" She replied, every passing second was killing me.

Mum entered the room, she was crying. She came to me and hugged me. Kinza was also standing there beside mum.
Mum was regularly crying, my aunt asked but she didn't tell anything

"Mum.... Plea... Please tell me wh.. Why are you crying" I asked in fear and confusion, she didn't said anything

"Maaz's Nikkah is going on outside" Kinza said but I was confused that why did she said Maaz's Nikkah

"Maaz's Nik... Nikkah....?!" I stammered and Kinza nodded

"With another girl" Her words snatched my soul from my frame.

"Mum.... Maaz...." I looked at mum and she nodded with teary eyes

I was going outside the room but mum held my wrist.

"Mum please let me go, We'll sort out the matter, please" I said with determination while holding my tears

"The Nikkah is already done" she said with great difficulty and I fell down on my knees
"How it is possible?" I mumbled numerous tears started flowing from my eyes

My soul, my heart and my mind were asking the same question 'How could Maaz do this?'

After sometime I went out from that room with my mum, the hall was empty, most of the guests were gone, I tried to find out Maaz but he was nowhere, my heart and my eyes both were shading tears.

Mum made me sat inside the car, but I was crying with hiccups. I wanted to go With Maaz, but I was going back to my home.

We entered our house mum were crying with me but Dad was silent as he didn't had anything to say, that all things were just due to him.

''Rim... "

*flashback over*

I came out of my trance when a voice echoed in my ears, the voice which I could recognize even in sleeping state, the voice which gave me thousand reasons of happiness and a reason for death...

The death Which I was living as wife of Saad.

"Congratulations bro." Maaz said to Saad after hugging him, and I lifted my head to saw him

"Maaz...." A silent whisper left from my mouth. That was a different feeling in my heart, I was happy to saw him in front of me but my happiness converted into Grief when I realised about the situation of my life...

"Congratulations" A sweet but hesitating voice came to my ears, And I lifted my head to saw the one who was giving me wishes and flowers bouquet. My heart felt wave of pain, she was Rabiya. She bent down little to pass me flowers and my gaze went to her hand, she was wearing a Ruby ring in her ring finger. I didn't hled the bouquet and looked Maaz.

The ring which Rabiya wearing was my choice. I loved rings and mostly Ruby rings. Once I told Maaz that Ruby rings are best, and he promised me to gave one to me on our wedd...

Supposed to be wedding night.

"Congratulations Saad bhai" Rabiya wished him after passing the bouquet to him with a short smile and Saad nodded with a smile.

"Thanks for coming" Saad said to Maaz but he was watching me, his eyes were trying to something. I bowed my head down, that was difficult for me to averted my eyes from Maaz but I did.

''Biya come I'll introduce you to Saad's mother" I felt a pang in my heart.

"Biya.." a little whispered left from my parted lips and I lift my head to saw Maaz he was looking at his wife with a happy smile. He was calling Rabiya as Biya, he was calling her with nick name, how could he forget about our love so easily, it was only eight months and he forgot everything.

Rabiya and Maaz turned to went down the stage but Maaz came to a standstill for a moment, Rabiya looked at him and he smiled. Then he he took steps towards me and my heart jumped differently. Saad and Rabiya's face became colorless.

"Rimsha" He pronounced my name and I looked into his eyes

"Best of luck for future, May almighty give you great life ahead. I'll pray for you and Saad that you both will may have a happy life together." my breath hitched on his words and I bowed my head down a little to hide the shine of tears which occupied my eyes.

"See you later Bro" Maaz said to Saad

"Aaah" Rabiya tangled with her saree, she was going to fall but suddenly held Maaz's hand  to maintain her balance. 

"Carefully" Maaz said and Rabiya nodded holding his hand firmly. I was witnessing the whole scene, from the corner of my eyes.

==============

I was lying on sofe, trying to sleep but The scene was not leaving me and my senses. Rabiya was looking beautiful and her face was glowing, happiness was clearly visible on her face and Maaz was holding her hand as his life depended on her.

I tried to control my tears but that was flowing continuously. I broke down in thick tears and started crying loudly.

"How can Maaz forget me?"

"How? How he can live without me?"
