Arsalan knew he did a bad job thinking of his daughter as a sane person, who will forget everything quickly. His rubaab was right, they should've been afraid of the outcome of them denying Noor's wish. Cause what they saw was hard for any father or mother to believe.

Normal winter's day. rubaab went towards her daughters room to give her the coffee she made, only to find the door locked. she tried to make her open the room but when getting no response after so many tries, rubaab smelt something fishy, she frantically called arsalan who tried breaking the door down while she herself looked for the keys.

Everything was done so hurridely that by the time arsalan and faizan slammed the door open everyone was there. The scene infront of them left them shocked and in horror. They would've never thought Noor will take this step.

Was ending herself this easy? Arsalan was having hard time controlling himself since he saw his daughter laying on her bed smiling while her wrist was hanging from the bed, with blood flowing down like a river.

Arsalan doesn't know who pushed him aside to pick Noor-Ul-Ain, he doesn't know when he was in hospital with His little noori in ICU. He sure did felt a body shaking against him, he only pulled it closer.

He knew it was rubaab, His mind was jumbled. He was half dead from inside. He regretted sending Noor-Ul-Ain off yesterday. He regretted listening to people and not inspecting sikandar himself.

Mostly he regretted the warning of his daughter, It was first time Noor-Ul-Ain, his Noori has begged for something let alone ask. His noori was not habitual of the Arsalan he had suddenly become.

Heck he even let his wife slap her. How can he be so ignorant towards his noor? Every passing second inside the hospital was hard to pass. It was about eight in the night when they took noor here but he doesn't know how much time had passed or how much more was there to pass.

He wasn't thinking about anything or anyone but Noor-Ul-Ain, what if something happened to his daughter, what if she didn't make it, cause he remembered a doctor coming up to them long time ago saying the cut is pretty deep.

Noor-Ul-Ain had to do something, something that will keep her family in guilt, something that will not stop her from marrying sikandar and something that can cause her sikandar no harm. However while cutting her wrist, she forgot she was a human being that was going to loose her blood. Nor did she think about her parent's who were having hard time controlling themselves.

Arsalan finally saw the doctor, he trembled at the sight of blood on his suit, his daughters blood. The doctor shook his head in disappointment. Arsalan sat down on the chair with thud. He couldn't breath. His heart hurts. He heard the distant voice of his wife crying. Yet he was unable to move.

It was his brother who shooked him hard " the doctor needs to talk Arsalan. Kuch nhi hua noor ko. She's okay" Arsalan suddenly felt all the anger towards doctor for his head shake. He almost got the heart attack. Arsalan pulled rubaab in his arm's and listened to the doctor. (Nothing happens to noor, she's okay!)

"The cut was deep. It was hard for the bleeding to stop, as the cut was vertical. Im even shocked to see this cut as it gives immediate results. she was lucky her vein wasn't damage enough for her to die!! It could've coast her, her life. Anyways so her wrist slit was 1.3 inches
That needed atleast nine stitches. She's under the effect of anaesthesia, she'll wake up drowsy. But the wound will hurt cause we used Isopropyl alcohol on it"

Arsalan, didn't understand half of it, but the other half had him gripping his heart, his daughter could've died?. They were allowed to meet her, but Arsalan couldn't. It has been more then five hours since Noor was asking for her father and since Arsalan wasn't going inside the room.

Noor-Ul-Ain was now close to throwing tantrums when once again her mother came inside the room without Arsalan, she frustratingly ripped of the Canola from her hand making rubaab gasp, Rubaab tried stopping her but Noor-Ul-Ain wanted to see her father and if he was not going to show up then she will.

She did exactly this, Arsalan was sitting on the lobby's chair with his head in his hand, when he heard Noor-Ul-Ain's voice. He immediately looked up only to see an smiling noori walking towards him. He too stood up with gasp and went towards her who just hugged him without saying anything.

He got emotional quickly, Noor could feel her father's tear's on her back. She felt guilty and bad but she needed to make them understand so she wasn't too guilty, she just gently patted his back, giving him comfort.

Arsalan pulled back and looked at her, in Anger. Noor-Ul-Ain smiled sheepishly and pulled him towards the room she was shifted in. Arsalan sighed and sit on the sofa, along with Rubaab. Noor-Ul-Ain too sat infront of him he started " Noori, It wasn't nice!" He slightly raised his voice " agar tumhe wo larka itna pasand tha to mujhe samjhana chahiye tha... Aise kisi bhi larke k lie apni jaan lelogi." Noor-Ul-Ain pouted as Arsalan scolded her.
(If you liked that boy that much, you should have made me understand!! Will you kill yourself for anyone?)

" Baba wo koi bhi nhi tha.. I like him too much and agar ap nahi man rahe the I dont think I can live--" she was cutt off by crying rubaab " t-to hamara kya.. hamari bhi to aik hi beti hai.. mar jaenge hum bhi tumhare bagair..." Noor-Ul-Ain looked down remorsefully from her mother's wet and red eyes.

(Baba, he's not just anyone! You weren't agreeing and I don't think I could live--)
(Then what about us? We also have one daughter without her we'll die too!!)

Arsalan pinched the between of his nose" aik bhi baar nhi socha hamare bare mai? agar kuch hojata to kya karte hum.. Noor-Ul-Ain humd is harkat ki umeed nhi thi... Agar tumhe bura laga tha hamara na karna to socho hame kitna bura laga hoga jab tum us se milne k lie gai. wo bhi Quetta. Ye Quetta tha koi pichli gali nhi thi"

(You didn't think for once about us? What if something had happened to you? I didn't expect this from you! If you felt bad about us saying no then think how bad we feel when you went quetta!! It was quetta not the other street!)

Noor-Ul-Ain could understand from where he was coming from. Arsalan and rubaab shared a look and said looking at teary noor. " Maine maloom karaya hai is larke k bare mai, maine bhot si buri baten sunin hain is k lie ishi lie mohtaat tha.. lekin ab investigate kara raha hun mai... Bulao isko ghar.. baat karni hai mujhe is se"
(I've inspected about that boy, I've heard alot bad about him, that's why I was cautious, Im inspecting him and call him our home,  I've to talk to him!)

Noor-Ul-Ain eyes widen and she couldn't believe her ear, she forgot the disheartened heart of hers and leaped into his arm shouting happily. He too smiled at his daughter's happiness and hugged her closer pulling rubaab along too.

If his daughters happiness was in him then he'll do anything to make her smile. Her first smile was the reason he worked hard all his life. Just so he could give his wife and daughter all necessities they need.

"Thank you so much baba and mama" muttered noor,  making rubaab kissed the top of her head. " Now rest little dove, you'll get discharge tomorrow okay" she nodded, Arsalan and rubaab went out of the room to look for other's while Noor-Ul-Ain called sikandar to inform him, but his phone was off again, a fear gripped her heart but she shooked it off.. he'll not do it again. Or will he?
_________________

Maya stayed behind, she was shaken about the whole fiasco. She never thought Noor will go to this extant. She was angry at sikandar for making Noor-Ul-Ain this sensitive about him.

She dialed sikandar numbers, she was shocked hearing he didn't know Noor-Ul-Ain did something so serious for him. Somewhere inside maya she felt the burning feeling once again. She doesn't know what this feeling was, but she doesn't like it one bit.

" She's mad sikandar, she can go to any point to marry you. How can you even let it happen" maya, in her anger spoke to sikandar, Sikandar chuckled and leaned back on the wall, and shifted the phone to his other ear. " Kyun maya jaan... Kya mai pagal nhi tha... Khair tumhe qadar nhi ki lekin mai karunga na apni aini ki qadar... Agar wo apni jaan dene k lie tiyar hai to mai jaan lene k lie"
(Why maya jaan? wasn't I mad too? Well you didn't valued me but I'll do to my aini. If she can kill herself then I can kill anyone)

His voice deepened at end, maya shivered and understood the double meaning. Noor-Ul-Ain must've told him about the false accusations on him and he knew it was maya. Maya gulped and said" Tum acha nhi karrahe ho sikandar... Mai tumhe kabhi Noor-Ul-Ain ki zindagi barbaad nhi karne dungi. Samjhe" sikandar laughed at that.
(You aren't doing right sikandar, I won't let you destroy noor's life!)

Maya fisted the phone tightly "Noor-Ul-Ain bataegi is bare mai haan maya jaan" Sikandar taunted"Noor-Ul-Ain ko lagam deni ati hai hame--" while she was lost in her little argument with sikandar, she forgot fawad was at home too.
(Noor-Ul-Ain will tell you about it maya jaan) (we know how to control Noor-Ul-Ain --)

Fawad came inside the room only to see her talking with someone. He didn't hear much but his suspicions grew seeing her flinching and cutting the call. With whom she was talking? However he again didn't question her like last time. And he saw that too.

Maya nervously chuckled and wiped away the sweat she felt on her face" w-wo.. noor..han Noor-Ul-Ain kaisi hai" she asked, Fawad's jaw clenched and he nodded " theek hai" maya breathed and said" mai ati hun...washroom se" and went inside. (Umm noor...yes Noor how's she?) (Alright)
( I'm coming from washroom)

But fawad saw the phone she was taking with her. He punched on the bed, what was it that she was so secretive about? What was she hiding. He wanted to ask her, look at her phone but he was thinking maybe she'll tell him. Whatever it was, he'll definitely know. Maybe not now but soon. Cause he wasn't feeling good about it!!!.
---------------

Maya shakily held the sink, it was too close. How can she be so irresponsible? She can't imagine fawad knowing about the little selfish act she played! No She cant leave him! Or fawad can't leave her.

She wiped away the sweat and let the tear's fall. In the almost two months of her marriage with fawad, she had seen his different sides. Caring, loving romantic and angry beasty sides! She wasn't really keen on seeing him angry again.

The whole period was enough for her to gain feelings for fawad. The feeling that were thousands time more intense than ever. It indicates only one thing! She loved fawad more then sikandar.

It was human nature to fall in love and we can't unlove someone. Cause it's not in our nature, yet we can love another person. More or less. And maya did love sikandar one time but with fawad, she cant compromise.

He was her Peace. The way he talks and smile had her heart. She was lost in herself when her phone vibrated again. She shakily attended the call, before decreasing the volume, aware of her husband's presence in the room!

"Agar doobara meri call katne ki jurrat kari to jaan lelunga mai!!" Maya unknowingly whimpered, not giving him another answer other then sniffing.
The call was cut from his side now, she cried. Her hand was infront of her mouth as a fist, she close her teeth tightly and cried, as much as she can. She cried until she felt num. She cried until the guilt of keeping something from her husband lessened!
(If you dare to cut my call again again. I'll kill you!)

Hi...

And, you see what Noor-Ul-Ain did?

Its better to put down your liking instead of taking those steps. Its haram! And if your parents aren't agreeing then I must say they may have their own reason!!

And if not! Then Ask Allah, he shall grant you what you desire!!
