Yaaay!!! It is the time for the wedding *dreamy sigh* 

It's time to say Qubool hai, everyone... Oops, not everyone just Alishba and Aahil *hehehehe*

**********************************
'Where were you, Sana?' Alishba asked as Sana hurried to her side. She sat beside her on the bed.

'Nothing -- sorry.' Sana replied, distracted. Alishba frowned watching her friend looking around.

'What?' – She held Sana's hand and she looked at her, - 'Is everything all right? Maulvi is about to come. What are searching for?' Alishba nudged her friend. Sana winced and looked away from the door.

'Yeah, Yeah.' She simply shook her head. Sana glanced at Saba who blinked slowly at her.

Where is Nadia? - Sana's mind was restless. She kept shifting uncomfortably and fidgeting with her dupatta. Alishba eyed her but whenever she was about to say something, someone kept interrupting her.

Sana sat up straight when she saw a few ladies walking in. One among them was Nadia. Accidentally, her gaze fell on Sana. Sana inhaled sharply upon seeing her puffy eyes. She had managed to apply layers of makeup over it but the sadness in her eyes gave her away. Sana felt heart sink.

Daanish broke-up with her – Sana thought, miserably. She felt responsible for her miserable state and she felt guilty. Lowering her head, she sat quietly beside her friend.

'Hey.' Sana panicked hearing Nadia's voice. She sounded cheery, but her voice was chocked. Sana clenched her dupatta tightly. The voice was very evident that Alishba asked the reason and Nadia answered that she has gotten cold. Saba observed her sister's timid behavior and she walked up to her.

Sana was startled when Saba held her elbow. She didn't protest as Saba dragged her to a corner.

'What is happening, Appi? Why are sitting like that?' She asked looking at her sister, concerned. Sana stared at the floor momentarily before looking up at her sister. She sighed.

'I am guilty.' She confessed. Saba looked perplexed.

'Why?'

Sana sighed once again and turned her head. She watched Nadia acting as though nothing was wrong. She then turned to look at her sister and confessed her guilt. Saba pressed her lips tightly and looked away momentarily before looking back at her sister. She held Sana's shoulder.

'No, Appi. Don't be guilty. You just saved her from a miserable life ahead. Imagine the heart break she would have faced later. She would have felt cheated because all this would have come out after their marriage. And most importantly,' – Saba shook her sister a little, - 'Daanish doesn't love her. They were doomed anyway.' She explained. Sana nodded. Well, her sister does have a point. She looked at Nadia, now she was quietly sitting beside Alishba. She looked terrible.

******************************

Soon, Maulvi arrived and the sisters rushed to Alishba. Sana sat next to her friend. Alishba grasped her palm and squeezed it tightly. Sana sensed her nervousness and so she placed her other palm over their entwined palms.

Aasma Aunty sat on the other side and she adjusted Alishba's veil covering her face completely. Sana avoided looking at Nadia who sat beside Aasma Aunty.

After the Maulvi was done, they took Alishba's signature and he left. Everyone began congratulating Alishba and each other. Sana hugged Alishba, then Aasma Aunty and was about to hug Nadia, also she too had her arms up for a hug. But when their gaze met, their smiles disappeared, and they froze. But to not to make things awkward Sana leaned and hugged her. Nadia took a second before wrapping her arms loosely around Sana. The two quickly moved apart. Avoiding each other's gaze Nadia went to hug other women. Sana was spared the awkwardness as Saba arrived with her girl gang they all began chattering.

Sana saw Alishba and her mother getting emotional. Aasma Aunty was hugging her daughter and sobbing silently while Alishba was wiping her tears. Sana smiled watching them.

***************************

After the girl's side was done, Saba and gang decided to sneak to the gent's section and see the Nikaah. To avoid awkwardness Sana agreed. Also, she will get a chance to see Daanish. She wanted to know his reaction as well. The girls sneaked from the room and took the elevator to the ground floor. There was a huge hall where the Nikaah was taking place. Ladies weren't allowed there and, so they decided to see the function from outside. Saba was also ready to take a video. As the girls peeped from the door, all of them were giggling. The gents knew the girls were sneaking but they let it be, it was a wedding day after all. Sana was behind everyone and had to tip toe to see inside. She found Aahil sitting on a throne-like chair. He wore cream and gold sherwani, his face covered with strings of rose and jasmine flowers. Next to him was sitting the Maulvi. His family standing on one side and on the other side was Daanish along with his cousins. Sana spotted Ramiz and she quickly looked away.

While Saba and the girls were busy giggling and clicking photos, Sana was observing Daanish. He stood still with his palms clasped, he kept looking at the Maulvi and Aahil. Sana hoped he looked at her, but he didn't. She looked around and found Misha among other children who were running all over the place. They were busy in their own world. Sana looked back at the girls, they were all busy and then she looked at the men, they were pretending they didn't see the girls and trying to focus on the Nikaah. Sana pressed her lips tightly, lifted her Lehengha slightly and tiptoed to the other side of the door. She leaned against the hinge of the door and called Misha in a slightly urgent whisper. Few attempts later she looked up. Sana gestured her to come. Misha grinned, waving at her. She picked up her lehenga little and hopped towards Sana.

Sana leaned forward and whispered into her ear, - 'You see Daanish Mamu, right? Ask him to come to meet me in the garden area after the Nikaah.'

'Now?'

'Yes, now. Go.' Sana urged her. Misha looked at her suspiciously but before she could ask any more questions, Sana held her shoulders and turned her around, - 'Go.' She patted her shoulder. Misha shrugged and began walking towards Daanish. Sana watched the little girl carefully as she walked passed the men and climbed the stage. She saw her tug on Daanish's Kurtha.

Daanish looked at her and she gestured him to bend. Sana bit her lower- lip nervously as she looked at them. To her horror, Misha pointed towards her and Daanish looked at the direction. Sana's first instinct was to hide but somehow, she froze. Daanish kept looking at her as Misha spoke. Then when she completed speaking he looked at her and nodded. Misha then left him and hopped down the stage. She gave thumbs up to Sana and got back to playing with her friends. Sana kept looking at Daanish, he looked at her briefly before looking down.
