A soft puff of breath left her lips as the light coloured orbs of hers raked the dark starry nightsky.

Though the cold winds blew and the puffy dark clouds covered the already dark sky, the beautiful view compelled the people to come out and admire it just like her who stood on the terrace with her slender hands holding onto the cold steel railings.

"I didn't expect that Salman uncle would actually end up getting convinced. He really liked him"?
The calm and unwavering tone made her turn her neck and gaze at the man who stood beside her with his both elbows resting on the railings as the moonlight illuminated his black t shirt and black jeans clad frame.

The sleeves remained rolled up till his elbows revealing the taut and toned muscles flexing with every movement.

"That's shocking for you too, isn't it"?
She asked hugging the gray shawl closer to her chest as the cold breezes swept past her making her tendrils slide over her shawl clad shoulders nearly touching her cheeks which she tucked behind her ears.

A soft sigh left the man's lips as he nodded gazing across the vast expanse of nightsky.

One could easily see the thick curl of his voluminous lashes that stood over the dark glittery irises of his,
"After all the story I heard from your side now and Uncle's side this morning, I'm actually more than sure that he has actually liked that sardar, and honestly munchkin"-

He paused turning his neck towards her as the moonlight illuminated the tiny mole resting below his right eyebrow near the slight right corner,
"I can't help but think that what did uncle actually find in that brute for him to get impressed from him"?

Shanzay bit her lower lip as she nodded slightly,
"He saved him too on his way back".

A frustrated sigh left his lips as he turned leaning back on the railings as he folded his arms on his chest causing the fabric to stretch around his muscular chest,
"If only those cowards had faced us directly instead of doing a sneak attack. Thankfully uncle was safe and the muddle headed idiots of those feudal lords havebeen put behind the bars but still,
He can't just get convinced by this mere action to be willing to choose him as your spouse".

A helpless sigh left Shanzay's lips as she placed her elbow on the railings leaning ahead propping her chin on her palm,
"Isn't he already my spouse"?

Utter sadness lacing her tone.

Shahmeer brows furrowed and nose scrunched as if he had tasted something sour,
"A forced spouse".

Shanzay nodded gazing at the driveway below with her sad orbs,
"So baba just wanted me to see if I could give this relationship a chance because according to him the man is not only kindhearted but also upright and a man of morals".

Shahmeer's brows shot up nearly touching his hairline,
"Kindhearted and upright? Are you sure the man uncle met was actually Sardar Badar Nauraiz Shah and not someone else"?

His tone laced with visible displeasure towards the sardar's frame.

Shanzay tucked her strands behind her ears as she raised her head turning her gaze towards him,
"But he indeed saved him Meer. He also saved me that day in those lands".

Shahmeer's brows creased,
"Just because he saved you doesn't mean he is a very kind person. Neither does it mean that you have to be indebted to him nor does it mean that you have to pay him back this debt by accepting him".
