Raima Gufhran was twelve years old when her parents died in an accident. She came to Mir house where her elder sister was married. The little girl with crystal eyes became everyone's favourite except Ehan Mir, the notorious boy of Mir clan. 

Mir house was located in Valencia Town, a magnificent house with a small yet dainty garden. Baasim Mir was a retired bureaucrat, his wife Asma was a very loving woman. They had three children the elder one Unais Mir, an engineer by profession, very calm and collected person. Then came Ehan Mir, short tempered person, very much possessive of his things then came the youngest Irsa Mir, only daughter of Mir house, spoiled by her brothers.

Falak Gufhran was married to Unais Mir, she had only one sister Raima who was ten years old at that time, after two years their parents died in a car crash, Raima had no one to look after her so Falak took her to Mir house, everyone welcomed her with open arms. Asma Mir had never let her feel the absence of her parents she played the role of mother for her. Raima also loved everyone, Irsa became her best friend and Unais was like her big brother but there was someone who did not liked her maybe.

From the day she came to Mir house Ehan gave her the cold shoulder he never talked to her, he was jealous of all the attention she was receiving, he was always glaring at her so she avoided him as much as she could but he always found ways to torment the poor soul and she never complained to anyone because she was scared of him. But fate had some other plans when Ehan's hate turned into love he himself did not know. 

He started pestering her more, he wanted her attention but she was scared of his previous behaviour, she thought he was just toying with her so she avoided him but that did'nt worked in her favour either. 

Raima and Irsa were in the same college, they used to go with driver but Ehan told his father that he will take them to college on his way to university, and his father agreed taking in his good to protect the girls. 
But it was hell for Raima, he didn't talk to her but his heated long stares in the car were unbearable for her.

One day when she was waiting for him outside the college gate, her class fellow came to her asking for some notes and then he stood beside her giving her some company while she waited to be picked up. Raima was so engrossed in laughing at the silly jokes her class fellow cracked that she did not saw Ehan coming, next thing she know her class fellow was on the floor and Ehan on top of him beating him. 

She was so petrified that she could not even stop him, a few students were standing their they stopped him. He dragged her to car and almost threw her inside, he clearly stated to her that day that she was his and if she tried to talk to any boy he will lock her in her room. When they reached home she went straight to her sister and told her everything. 

His father was outraged when he heard about all the things he did to torture Raima, they decided to send him to England to complete his studies but he refused straight away but no one listened to him, they thought that sending him away will make things right, he will forget about Raima. 

When Raima got to know about his departure she was more than happy, she was happy to get her freedom back. She was in her room studying for a test when the door opened with a bang, he was standing there looking at her with bloodshot eyes. She felt like her breathing stopped.

"Bohat khush ho gi"

(You must be very happy)

He went towards her and grabbed her arm pulling her up  from the bed he pushed her in the wall and leaned on her face, looking in her crystal eyes he whispered.

"Ja raha hun magar wapis tumharay pass hi aon ga yaad rakhna"

( I am going but remember i will come back to you)

She was getting ready for Irsa's mehndi. She spent the whole day in her room all by herself, she was guilty for not going out and helping her best friend on her big day but she was helpless herself. She had planned so much for Irsa's wedding but all the plans went down the drain when he came back.

After taking a quick shower she dried her hair and put on her clothes which consisted of a beautiful navy blue lehnga which was embroided and the blouse was also navy blue, the sleeves had the same work which was done on lehnga, the blouse showed the creamy skin of her midriff. She started doing her makeup, she opted for a natural look. She left her butterscotch hair open which fell on her back. She was standing in front of the vanity giving a last few touch ups.

He was standing in the doorway staring at the young girl, dressed with as much richness of taste as the most splendid of the flowers. She looked full of life and energy. She seemed beautiful as flowers, more beautiful than riches of them, but still to be touched with care.

He walked towards her and stood directly in front of her, she saw him through the mirror and her hand stilled in which she was holding bangles. He pushed her hair away from her back, pulling the strings which held her blouse till her back was bare to him. She clutched the front of her blouse and in doing so the bangles dropped on the floor, some breaking into small pieces.

He traced the scar which marred her back just under her right shoulder. He slowly placed his lips on it trying to relieve some of the pain he inflicted upon her. She went stiff when his lips touched her skin. His actions taking in her in the past.

When she was thirteen, Unais took her out to celebrate her birthday and that was her crime, that day Ehan had a football match and invited Unais but he refused because he had to take her out. Ehan punished her for taking his brother from him. That night when she was going in her room, she heard some voices coming from the store she went in to take a look but there was nothing, she turned around to leave but someone grabbed her from behind.

Trying to free herself from what she thought was a jinn, a nail which was sticking out from the door scrapped her back. Only the two of them knew about the scar on her back. Raima, because she was the one carrying it and Ehan, because of him it was bestowed on her.

He placed one hand on her waist and pulled her against him, he trailed his lips upwards and placed kisses on her neck, she felt short tremors passing through her body. He smirked against her skin when he felt the effect of his touch on her. He placed a kiss behind her ear and whispered sorry in her ear.

She came back to her senses and detached herself from. He sighed softly from the lack of contact, pulling the strings he tied her blouse and then bent down to pick up the bangles. Grabbing her hand he pushed the bangles in her wrist. He moved towards the bed and grabbed her peach organza dupatta, and placed it on her right shoulder.

Giving a tender kiss on her forehead he left the room. She was standing there holding the back of her vanity chair trying fathom her jumbled emotions.

The garden was decorated with fairy lights and marigold flowers. The guests were moving here and there. Irsa was sitting on the swing with her groom, all smiling and chatting. Raima was hungry so she went towards the food section and took out plate filling it.

"Raima"

She heard a voice behind her and turned around, a handsome man with dark brown hair and black eyes was standing there in a mustard kurta, je also had a plate in his hand which was filled with food.

"Oh my god Harris, is that you"

He smiled and moved towards her.

"Yes the one and only"

He replied, Raima was shocked to see him. He was her classmate from college, she was seeing him after a very long time. He was a nerd bacj then but now he had turned into a completely different man, a very handsome one.

"I am surprised to see you here"

She filled her plate and they both moved towards a table in a far corner where there less people.

"Yeah i am from groom's side"

Harris was staring at her intensely, she looked so beautiful, he had a crush on her from as long as he could remember. He tried to gain her attention so many times, asking her for notes. Raima noticed him staring at her and she blushed under his gaze.

They both were talking and reviving the past, laughing about some of the things they did in college, completely unaware of two ebony orbs staring at them with a blaze.

"Lagta hai haramzada bhool gya hai meri maar" 

(I think the bastard has forgotten my beating)
