Irsa's wedding passed away in blur. Raima enjoyed the wedding, Harris was there to give her company. Irsa was the life of house, she was bubbly and cheerful, she always brought a smile on everyone's face. The house became very quite after her wedding.

It was a week after the wedding when the chaos started. Harris sent his parents to ask for Raima's hand for marriage. The proposal caused an uproar in the house when Ehan heard about it. He went straight to his father and told him that if he ever thought of marrying her off to another man, there will be consequences.

Everyone knew how stubborn he was, once he sets his mind on something he can go to any lengths to do it, and they were not ready to risk it. Raima was busy preparing for university, tommorow was her first day back in university after third semester break. 
The maid came and told her that Unais was calling her in his room.

She placed her clothes in the cupboard and went downstairs, after knocking the door she entered and looked at her sister and brother-in-law who looked to be busy in a heated conversation. She cleared her throat.

"Oh Raima come in"

Unais smiled at her, she went in and sat with her sister on the bed while Unais took the bean-cushion and sat on it. She glanced at them nervously who were staring at her.

"Is everything alright ?"

They smiled nervously at her, Falak gestured him to talk.

"Uhm so Haris sent a proposal for you"

Unais tried to talk very casualy but Raima felt like a bomb had been dropped on her, her breath stuck. When she didn't said anything for a while he started speaking.

"We will not do anything without your approval "

She swallowed sharply and looked at the floor ignoring there gazes. She was surprised at his proposal, he never talked to her about any of this nor he gave her any kind of hint. She was not ready for marriage, it was a huge step for her, Harris was a good man no doubt but she didn't have any feelings for him.

"There is one more thing " 

She looked wide eyed at her sister who was smiling softly at her. She haven't even digested the first news now they had something more tell her she looked at her curiously, but when she uttered those words she felt like all the air left her system.

She sat there unmoved, her heart beating erratically. There was ringing in her ear and then it stopped.

Ehan wants to marry you. 

The words registered in her mind. She looked at her sister who was smiling at her, and it put her on the edge. She shook her head lightly and whispered.

"No"

Falak looked at her husband who gave her a look that said i told you this was going to happen. She sighed and looked at her sister who's eyes were shining with tears.

"Maine nahi karni unsay shadi"
(I don't want to marry him)

A second of silence passed and the door burst open, his blazing eyes focused on her form. He took a threatening step towards her but Unais came in front of him and stopped him from going any further.

"Kiyu nahi karni shadi huh, us kuttay ke bachay se bohat impress ho gayi ho" 

(Why don't you want to marry me huh, or are you're very impressed by that son of a bitch)

The tears which were shining in her eyes were now proudly flowing on her cheeks, she couldn't look at him so she bent her head looking at her fumbling hands in her lap.

"Get out of here Ehan"

Unais yelled and tried to push him towards the door. Ehan didn't even budge from his place.

"Get one thing straight in your head, i will not let anyone take what's mine"

Giving her one last glance he left the room and the door closed behind him with a bang.

She took a shower and got ready in a white kurta shalwar, picking out a printed chiffon dupatta she draped it over her shoulder and picked her bag. She was going downstairs but stopped when she saw him standing at the bottom staring at her intensely.

She gulped and took slow steps and stopped in front of him become he was blocking her way. She looked at his chest because she didn't had it in her to look in his eyes, the top button on his shirt were closed and she felt an itching in her hand to open it, for the a moment she raised her hand but his voice stopped her.

"I'll be dropping you off today"

"No i will go with the driver... "

He glared at her and she cowered away, he walked out and she huffed why her tongue always got tied when she tried to reply him, cursing herself she followed him out. He was standing there holding the passenger side door open for her. She felt like he was her chauffeur, a smile broke on her lips from her silly thought but it vanished soon when she saw his solemn face. She sat down quickly and he closed the door loudly, she jumped in fright.

The fifteen minute drive felt like an hour to her, the tension in the car was thick, at one point she felt like she couldn't breathe so she opened the window. When they reached the University she sighed in relief. When she tried to got down his hand shot out and grabbed her wrist pulling her closer to him till they were just breaths away, his warm breath falling in her face making her close her eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat or two. He pushed away the few strands peeking from her dupatta and whispered in her ear.

"Mai tumharay liye jaan de bhi sakta hun aur... le bhi sakta hun"

When he pulled away she opened her eyes and looked in his ebony orbs, he was gazing at her crystal eyes which seemed a little red from crying, his heart clenched and his eyes softened but he regained his composure. His eyes fell on her luscious lips, he wanted to devour them he cursed under his breath and pulled away from her.

She didn't waste a minute getting down from the car and he sped away. She exhaled slowly and walked towards the gate. Her heart was muttering a name to her repeatedly one which took her breath away.
