Nigaar's baraat night came, Imad was still recovering but he couldn't miss her baraat. Mehek tried to make another excuse but when Taya jaan himself told her to come she couldn't refused, she thought as if her dad is telling her to come

Wearing a dark blue gown with minimum make up she put her hair in bun, Imad was wearing tuxedo his hair comb perfectly.

Imad's eyes again and again fall on her he wanted nothing else but to remove the pin from her hair and let it fall freely. His longingly looks didn't went unnoticed by his parents

"Masha'ALLAH she is really beautiful, she is your daughter?" An aunty come to them when she was standing with her tayigi

"Actually she is daughter of my late brother-in-law but she is like a daughter to me."

"You know my son is software engineer, he is in the age of marriage," the aunty indirectly asked. Mehek felt as if all blood from her body rush her face.

"Excuse me." She slowly said and left.

"She is engaged to my son." But she heard her tayigi's voice from behind

Why didn't she told the lady she is married? That made Mehek wonder.

"Mehek can you please serve Imad Bhai food, I have to check on Nigaar Appi." Esha came to her and swiftly left without even listening to Mehek.

Mehek who opened her mouth to say something shut it down,

Mehek went to buffet but not knowing what to take for him, she place her favorite food in the plate. And now she went to search for him

She found him in lawn with some of his friends maybe?

"Dinner?" She placed the plate on the table and was about to left.

"Hey! I'm Kamran and you are?" One of the guy whom Imad was talking earlier came forward.

"Huh..?" Mehek turned to Imad. Who already got up from his seat.

"She is my... Chachu's daughter." Mehek thought she heard mine,

You think so much! Scolding herself she went to Nigaar's room.

"Mehek glad you are here, come we have to take her to stage." She covered her gloomy face with smile.

By the end of baraat function Imad accepted his feelings for Mehek. He tried to refused it he even scold himself many times but now he surrender himself, the IPS officer who isn't afraid of anything who can make anyone trembling with fear was defeated in front of a Innocent soul

"Imad I want to talk to you." When they returned from function his father called him.

"Ji Abbu." He put his hands back and asked.

"Come sit. Now what I'm gonna tell you you have to listen it very carefully."

"You and Mehek are married."

"Ji?" He thought he heard wrong, maybe he was still intoxication by her that he heard what his heart wanted to listen. Atif Hussain told him the truth

"Does....does Mehek knows?" What does she thinks about this? He wonder

"I don't know if she knows or not but your Ammi will talk to her. I've called you for another reason, I'm thinking about doing her ruksati. Do you have any problem?"

"Jaise apko theek lage." At last his lips curved into a grin

"Mrs Imad be ready to be mine" holding her earring he said in his silent room as if Mehek is there,

💐

"Imad! I want to talk to you." When he was leaving for work Mehek ran after him, he nod his head for her to continue

"Not here," looking around as if someone will hear them, Mehek took him to backside of the house, where they first have their conversation

"Kya hua? Kuch bolna Tha na tumhe." Imad asked her,

"Can you.......can you please tell your parents not to do ruksati yet." She didn't dare to make eye contact with him

"Why?"

"I..... actually..it's hard for me to adjust that I'm married I don't even remember it. So...I need some time, please try to understand........."
