Arsalan eye's widen in anger seeing the tight grip Arsal had on her, he practically roared at arsal " meri beti ka hath choro" arsal did as he was told, but he himself was protective over Noor-Ul-Ain. She may not be his blood sister but she was " is se poochen ye kahan thi or kis k sath ghar ai hai" noor's eyes were wide, red and teary.
(Leave my daughter's hand)
(Ask her where she was and with whom she came home!)

She was now free from his grip, but the fear of her baba was too much for her to move from her place. Arsalan narrowed his eyes at arsal and asked him in same agitated voice " bolna kya chah rahe ho tum arsal" and Arsal narrated everything he had seen and heard.
(What are you trying to say arsal)

From Noor-Ul-Ain getting out of someone else's car to her holding his hand to the whole panorama of Ride. By the time he was finished Arsalan was in denial and in confusion. He was in confusion of who must the man be. And why was his daughter still quite. It was rubaab's voice that brought him out of his thoughts. " Kon tha wo Noor-Ul-Ain. Apko pata hai na its not safe to be out with strangers" Noor gulped And tried forming a sentence. (Who was that man Noor-Ul-Ain, you know it's not safe to travel with strangers)

She has been the manipulator but never once  has she be in this place, in this much deep shit or she had never been out of the city without her parents knowing. She was nervous to what should she answer them. " Tayi ammi asked you something Noor-Ul-Ain" fawad too stood up beside Arsal.

"W-wo..w-wo" she stuttered. Arsal sighed and said to Arsalan " taya abbu wo aik dangerous banda lag raha tha. Aise log zayada tar karachi kai nhi hote hai. Especially itne guroor wale. Noor-Ul-Ain ki akal pata nhi kahan ghas khane gai thi jo us khatarnak bande k sath ai. Agar wo kuch galat kardeta to" this time his tone wasn't harsh.
(Taya abbu that man looked dangerous, this type of man aren't mostly from karachi, that egoistic and I don't know what noor think before coming home with him! What if he had done something!)

Noor-Ul-Ain's blood boiled hearing him use word's for sikandar, her nose flared in anger and she be dying to spit fire but she remained quite cause she desired to be out of this situation. Arsalan, however was seeing every emotions passing his daughter's face.

Arsalan stepped forward and again saw Noor suppressing her emotions, as to be come out fault less. " Kon tha wo admi Noor-Ul-Ain" however, it was Noor-Ul-Ain. Not noori. Her father barely used any other words to call her, but this time it was Noor-Ul-Ain. (Who was that man Noor-Ul-Ain?)

" Baba? Ap mujh par shak karrahe hai" she asked in disbelief. " Shak nhi karrahe tumhare baba noor. Pooch rahe hain jawab do" Rubaab told her daughter strictly. " Janti thi us admi ko?" He once again asked question. (Baba, you are suspecting me?)
(He's not suspecting and answer him!)
(You knew that man?)

Noor was tongue tied and said " nhi" (no) Arsalan turned towards Arsal and asked " naam jante ho uska"(know his name?)  arsal thought for a while, It wasn't a name he could forget. The name itself gives you chills. " G abbu, shayad Sardaar tha" arsal turned to Noor-Ul-Ain and asked" poora name kya tha noori?" Noor-Ul-Ain masked up her face and replied nonchalantly.(yes abbu, something sardaar type)
(What was his full name noori?)

"SARDAAR SIKANDAR SALAAR"  The name brought out new emotions on their face. Arsalan was confused while Maya was petrified. Unable to move. She was hearing this name, after so many year's but especially after a month of her marriage. She never thought Noor-Ul-Ain can be in association with Sikandar. Never in her dream she thought sikandar was going to be part of her life again.

" Ye to wohi hai na Faizan. Wo larka Quetta se? Jis ke sath aik bar deal hui thi. School ki construction k lie unke gaon mai" Arsalan asked faizan, his brother who only nodded. Still alarmed by this whole panorama. Maya was now more confirmed. She was scared shitless. Want if fawad got to know about her being in connection with sikandar? (He's that same boy faizan, isn't he? From quetta. With whom we had deal to construct school in their village)

" Aik mint, sikandar se ap mile huen hai" Arsalan taunted Noor-Ul-Ain with his one eye brow raised. " Ap ko kya is se, aik stranger k bare mai apko into tajassus kyun." She gulped but still wanted to ask more. (One minute, sikandar had met with you?)
(Why are you asking about stranger?)

" Arsal, complain karao us larke ki police mai. Fake case banao molestation ka. Jail mai hona chachiye ye larka. Mera naam lena" It was a shock to family members except Noor-Ul-Ain and maya. They never thought Arsalan would use his name someday for something like this. While maya was astonished, she knew sikandar can go to any extant to avenge himself while Noor-Ul-Ain was Just scared for sikandar. (Arsal, file an complain against him for molestation. I want him in jail. Say my name!)

She forget the whole thing and yelled " Baba nhi. Ap use jail nhi bhej sakte" (baba you can't send him in jail!!) Arsal understood his taya abbu's game. He asked Noor-Ul-Ain " kyun nhi. Aik stranger hi to hai wo" (why not, he's stranger only) but she was far from realizing they were playing with her. Her baba was playing with her, instead she stepped closer to arsalan. She was in panicking form. He was confused but Noor-Ul-Ain has already confessed.

" Baba ap us ke sath aisa nhi karsate mai pasand karti hun use"  (baba you cant fo this with him, I like him) Arsalan's eyes widen, but Noor-Ul-Ain continued " baba maine jan boojh kar kuch nhi kia.. mujhe bas... Mujhe bas us se milna tha...mai is hi lie.. shit.. ishi lie us se milne gai. Please use kuch na kahen" she was crying. (Baba I didn't do anything intentionally. I had to..to meet him shit... That why I went)

Arsalan's daughter was crying while admitting liking this man, who was once a good man for Arsalan but suddenly he was the one whom Arsalan hated the most " kahan gai thi tum?" he, in disbelief asked Noor-Ul-Ain. Who admitted " Quetta" in a small voice. (Where did you went?)

Arsalan was closed to having a heart attack. From where did he went wrong that his daughter, instead of putting her liking Infront of him was now admitting to go to quetta, like it was some market. That too alone.

"Tum us se milne Quetta gai?" (You went to meet him in quetta?) She nodded. Arsalan was looking at Noor-Ul-Ain. In disappointment " kab se janti ho use"(since when do you know him) he asked and that was the time she confessed the whole drama and put down every information about sikandar.

Even how much she loves him. Arsalan ear's were ringing with the words " mai us se pyar karti hun baba...us ke ilawa kisi se nhi" (I love him baba, no one but him) Maya was having a short panic attack too in the corner while she was seeing Noor-Ul-Ain admitting to her father, who was looking at her like she had grown two head. Arsalan will never consider his daughter to be accomodate with someone like sikandar, a sardaar, a sardaar who's life would be at stake all the time he would be out or in the house.

He did what he thought was right, he gritted his teeths and held out his palm Infront of crying Noor-Ul-Ain " apne har gadgets ko mere hath mai rakho,.or apne room mai jao. Ainda k bad mai is larke ka zikar Tumse na sunon. Warna acha nhi hoga" noor looked at Arsalan and stubbornly shook her head. (Give me your every gadgets and go to your name. Never again I'll hear this name from you)

" Mai sirf sikandar se shadi karungi baba. Ap mere sath zabar dasti nhi kar sakte"(I'll only marry sikandar baba. You can't force me!!)  Rubaab was close to tear's, she was afraid of this time, when Noor-Ul-Ain would be spoilt to the core. She can never see Arsalan being disrespectful. She turned Noor-Ul-Ain around and slapped her on the face.

Noor-Ul-Ain felt the sting of her mother's first slap and her heart jumped to burst out. The slap echoed in the silent room. Only the gasp of the members were heard, they all were too shocked. Even Arsalan who was looking at Rubaab in bafflement. How could she even slap his daughter? But rubaab was no less. As soon as her palm hit Noor-Ul-Ain, she regretted.

Noor-Ul-Ain was now staring at them, with utter disbelief. She scoffed and wiped the remaining tear's. " Mai marun ya jiyun, mujhe ap logon se koi wasta nhi rakhna.. jinhe apni beti ki khushiyon se zayada kisi or cheez ki fikar hai" and went away leaving them standing, gazing at her back. (Even if I live or die, I've nothing to do with you all who care about other things then her daughter happiness)

Arsalan tried to go after her, but Rubaab's hand in his stopped him, he turned towards her " mara kyun use" (why did you slap her?) rubaab calmly breathed and said " she needs to know how to talk Arsalan. Use apne haal mai chor den. Kuch din mai ye larka or ye sab bhool jaegi" Rubaab and Arsalan knew they were wrong. (She'll forgot the boy and the matter in some days)

She was Noor-Ul-Ain they were talking about, but for now, they can never let Noor-Ul-Ain marry in a family so obnoxious and outdated. Their babygirl can never be in a place so dangerous.

While maya was now pacing in her room, trying hard to come up with a way to talk to fawad, but she was scared. She got two ways. Talk to sikandar to leave Noor and save herself and ruin Noor-Ul-Ain. Or talk with fawad and ruin her home. She went with first option.

She knew sikandar's phone number with her heart still,  with shaky hand she dialed his number, and cautiously looked around for fawad, who was still downstairs. Sikandar was shocked to see her name flashed in his phone and picked it up.  " Zahe naseeb"(my luck?)  maya gulped down the bundle of tear's and got on the point " Noor-Ul-Ain se door raho sikandar!!.tumhari larai maire sath hai..us bechari ko choro"(stay away from Noor-Ul-Ain. Your fight is with me, leave her alone)

Sikandar laughed and Said" tumhe barbaad to karna hai na jaana but Noor-Ul-Ain Meri sathi hai. Tumhe mai nhi wo kare gi barbaad"(Have to ruin you jana.. Noor is with me. She'll ruin you) maha was confused, petrified even" matlab" (meaning) he sighed and said"  tum jitna mujhe us se door rakhogi wo utna mere pass ae gi... Bach kar rehna.. Pagal hai wo mere lie" (The more you keep me away from her, the more she'll come for me, stay safe..she is crazy for me"

Before Maya could even say anything, fawad came inside the room, she hurriedly cut the call, and nervously chuckled. " Had karti hai noor bhi"(Noor is doing enough)  and fawad didn't focus on her petrified state and went on about Noor-Ul-Ain. Maya sighed in relief. She now had to talk to Arsalan and make him understand, sikandar was not and can never be the man for Noor-Ul-Ain. Unknown to the madness Noor-Ul-Ain had for sikandar, the madness and love was much more then her being hindrance. Maya was unaware of how bad Noor-Ul-Ain can get for sikandar. Who was in her room, Telling sikandar everything.
