He stopped his car infront of haveli. And got in. His mother stared at him." Tum toj gaon gaye the phir wapas aa gaye",She asked him." Kyu wapas nhi aa sakta", he replied sternly and left for his room.

He's behaving stranger with everyone without any reasons. His mother was not enough of all this. She hd noticed his behaviour from a week. He was always busy in his phone, Didn't ever talked to anyone in the house and always avoid staying as much as he can.

Maa begum knocked his room door. "Aa jayein", he replied looking at his mother. " kya hua hai beta main piche 5 dino se kisi bare mein baat karne ki koshish kar rahi hu aur tumhaare paas waqt hi nhi hai", She spoke." Kya baat hai", he said.

"Beta 28 ke ho gaye ho tum, har maa ka sapna hota hai ke woh apne bete ki shaadi dekhe", she said." Maine apko pehle hi bola hai main uss haya se nikaah nhi karunga", He spoke rudely." Kya burai hai usme?", she asked." Acchai kya hai bataiye?, he said." Mohabbat karti hai tumse woh beta", Maa begum replied." Nahi, usse bas khanam ka auda chahiye takey woh hukumat kar sake aur agar woh duniya ki akhri ladki bhi hui na toh bhi usse nikaah nhi karunga main",He spoke.

"Thik hai haya ko rehne do, Maya ke baare mein kya khayal hai", she spoke." Apko kya main options mang raha hu? Khuda ke vaaste aur mat azmaiye maa saab main iss bare aur baat nhi karna chahta aap jaa sakti hai", he said.

"Akhir tum chahte kya ho beta, Aab waqt aa gaya hai ke iss khandaan ko aur iss jagah ko uski nayi khanam mil jaye mere baaton par gaur karna tum", she said and leave his room.

Anwar and Haya visited Qureshi mansion for meerab's marriage ceremony. Meerab's uncles invited khan family too but as maa begum was busy with her works so she didn't came.

Meerab was sitting on her room when anwar came to her." Meerab beta", he said. She turn to look at him. He placed his hand oh her head and said,"Shaadi ke liye mana kar do beta agar tumhari marzi nhi hai to". She looked at him with teary eyes." Main mana kar ke mamu jaan ko hurt nhi karna chahti chacha saab", she spoke." Magar tumhara kya bacche. Tumhein pata hai na kal nikaah jaau tumhara abhi bhi waqt hai beta mana kar do mujhe thik nhi lag raha miraz bhai ladke ka naam tak nhi bata rahe hai", he said.

She was totally lost in her thoughts. "Murtasim ayenge kal?", she said." Pata nhi usse baat nhi hui meri", anwar spoke and left the room.

As he came out of the room haya said," Baba aap driver ko bolein mujhe Hayedarabad chhor aaye". He looked at him confusingly and said," kal nikaah hai tum jaa rahi ho?"." Main kal aa jaungi murtasim ke sath", she spoke." Thik hai main driver ko bolta hu woh tumhe chhor ayega", he spoke.

Murtasim's peace was disturbed as the spy didn't gave any information to him till now. He got a call from the spy "Are you out of you mind idiot kal nikaah hai aur abhi tak koi information nhi mili", he said angrily." Sorry sir apko mail kar diya hi maine aap check kar lein", spy replied.

He cut the call but he again got a call but this time it's from His PA Awez." Sir maine aapko apke kal ke meeting ke schedules bhej diye hain", awez said." Tum kal ke meetings cancel karwa do i've some personal work tomorrow", he said." But sir isse company ko nuksan ho sakta hai", awez said." It's my order mujhe fark nhi padta just cancel all the meetings for tomorrow", he said rudely.

He was really short tempered. He tightens his fist and punch the wall near him." Why I'm getting mad with those small things, yaa khudaya  madad farma mujhe", he uttered.

It's already 4 am when his sleep got disturbed. He was feeling restless so he came out from his room. When he was walking on lawn his mind strikes and he ran towards his room to check the mail.

"Main bhul kaise sakta hu", he said to himself. He checked the email. When he looked at the picture of the by he just could not control his anger.

It's not a boy it's an uncle around 40 or 45  years so. He took out his phone and dailed faraz qureshi's number but he didn't picked his call. He was calling them again and again but they are not picking his call. He dialed anwar's number.

" Chacha saab aap kahan pe hain?", He asked." Main ghar pe hu beta itni subha kyu call kiya? Sab thik hai na?", anwar asked him." Kuch thik nhi hai chacha saab, yeh log meerab ki zindagi tabah karne par tule huye hain", He said." Kya?", anwar was shocked." Woh koi ladka nhi ek 40 yaa 45 saal ka insaan hoga, aap jayein aur rokiye shaadi ko main abhi nikal raha hu" He said anf cut the call.

He changed in a black salwar kameez then took his white shawl and step out from his room. He cursed his fate when he saw haya was standing there.

"Yeh yahan phir se kya kar rahi hai?", he asked his maa begum irrigatedly." Beta woh kal raat aayi hai", Maa begum said." Tum karachi ja rahe ho na Murtasim mujhe bhi le chalo", haya said lovingly. Everything is enough for him now he's already stressed about meerab and now haya was making him angry as usual.

"Just stay away from me", He roared making everyone startled. He ordered bakhtu to drive the car for him. They have to reach karachi as soon as they can.

Anwar had already entered in Qureshi haveli. Miraz came to hug him but anwar show him his hand." Yeh sab karne nhi aaya hu main meerab ko bulayein", Anwar said." Kyu anwar achanak kya hi gaya", miraz said." Aap logon ki himmat kaise hui uss ladki ki usse do guna zyada umar ke insaan ke sath shaadi tey karne ki", anwar said with an angry glare." Meri bhanji hai main jo chache karu", miraz said." Meerab meri bhi bhatiji hai samjhe abhi mana karenge aap log koi shaadi nhi hogi yahan", anwar said.

"Aap hote koun hai aise bolne wale shaadi toh hogi hi", faraz said." Agar shaadi nhi hui toh humara business doob jayega", miraz said." Apne do koudi ke business ke liye main meerab ki zindagi barbaad hone nhi dunga", He said.

"Aap kuch nhi kar payenge", miraz said and start laughing." Haan magar aap Murtasim ko nhi jante woh kya kya kar sakta hai", he spoke firmly " Woh khan Murtasim khan hai tabahi mach jayegi agar yeh sab nhi roka toh, aa raha hai tum logo se hisaab lene", He completed.

Meerab listen all the things from behind. She was heartbroken, how her Uncle can do that with her. How can he confirm her marriage without her permission with a old man only for profit. It's not a marriage it's a deal like they are solding her. A tear escaped from her eyes. She wiped her tears and go back to her room and locked herself.

She dialed Murtasim's number." Hello", she uttered while crying." Tumhein rone ki zarurat nhi hai i'm coming okay", he said." Woh log mujhe...", sge didn't complete her words." Mujhe sab pata chal gaya hai rou nhi aa raha hu main 2 gantey ke andar main wahan se le aunga Tumhein", he said and cut the call.

She believes in him that he will definitely help him. She heard a knock on the door.
She opened the door and found her maami jaan there with her wedding dress." Yeh lo makeup artist aati hi hogi tumhe taiyar karne taiyar ho kar niche aa jana", she said and left. She threw all this on the floor and looked at herself on the mirror." You're not weak meerab", she said to herself and wiped her tears.
