Third person's POV.
Days keep passing. All were busy in their lives. After the engagement, Hafsa was all time glued with Khizar. She didn't leave him alone for once. Both were happy and so was Suraiya Begum. She was so happy to see her daughter with Khizar.

A month passed and everything was going on its track. Rehan was busy with his exam while Haya was busy in her job and household works. Khizar was waiting for the time when he was going abroad for the studies.

"Khizar." He turned while Rehan also turned to see the person who entered the house.

"What's the problem Harib? You scared us." Saying,Khizar again turned to the television while Harib walked to him.

"Assalam-o-Alikum." Saying,he took seated with Khizar on the ground mat.

"Where is khala?" He asked looking around for Suriaya Begum.

"In kitchen. Making the dinner." Answered Khizar and switched to other channel.

"And Haya?" Looking around for her,he asked.

"Helping khala." He replied.

"And your fiance?" Asked Harib again.

"Why are you investigating for everyone like an inspector?" Turning the TV off,khizar said and turned to him.

"I'm just asking. By the way Rehan how's school going?" Going to Rehan,Harib asked and tried to save himself from the glare of Khizar.

"Its going good bhai." Replied Rehan,and turned the TV on.

"Oh come on turned it off. Tell me have you any girl you like?" Harib asked and both Khizar and Rehan turned to him shocked.

"Bhai what are you saying? I'm not allowed to have a girlfriend." He said and Harib looked at him shocked.

"Why? Who's there to stop you? There must be someone you like right?" Harib asked.

"I've already a girlfriend. Khizar bhai." Rehan said and Harib looked at khizar and then laughed so badly and so did Rehan.

"Shut up you too. Don't you have anything else to talk about,except girls!" Irritated Khizar said and was about to get up but holding his arm,Harib stopped him.

"Sit down you dumb man. When you'll have some sense of romance. By the way, I was here to tell you something." Harib said and Khizar turned to see him.

"What?" Asked Khizar.

"Harib bhai you came." Before Harib could say something, Haya came and all turned to see her.

"Khizar I've something to say." Without giving reply to Haya, Harib turned to Khizar who startled on Harib's behavior because it was first time that he didn't pay attention on Haya's call.

"Bhai may I bring tea for you?" Asked Haya again going in front of him.

"No I'm good. Khizar let's go out. I want to talk to you." Saying,Harib made Khizar stand and without looking at Haya, he tried to take Khizar away from there but Khizar stopped because someone stopped him.

Khizar's POV.

Stopping on my feet,I turned to see those hands who were holding my arm tightly in them. I was amazed because it was for the first time,when she touched me or stopped me like that. Looking up at her who was looking at me but my eyes stuck on her eyes which were moist.

"Khizar don't go with him." She said and I could see how hard she was trying to stop herself from crying.

"Why? Why can't he?" Before I could say,Harib canee between us and asked.

"Bhai please don't do this. I told you to don't do this." She almost cried with the words while her hold got firm on my arm.

I was not understanding what was going on. Why was Haya stopping me and what they were talking about.

"Its necessary now. I can't stay silent now." Saying, Harib turned and looked at me.

"Come with me. Your life depends on it." He said making me more confused.

"Harib bhai stop or I'll never talk to you." Saying,Haya pulled me toward her and stood in front of me,blocking Harib's way to me.

"I wish you might have done this before." Harib said looking at Haya and I could see his eyes wet.

What was happening I was not understanding. What they were talking about. I was totally confused and how that linked to me.

"What's happening? Tell me." I asked looking at both of them.

"Nothing Khizar. Its..it's nothing." Turning to me,Haya said and tried to form a smile on her face but that was not even a smile.

"What are you trying to hide from me?" I asked looking at her pale face.

"Its..I told you its nothing. Harib bhai..is.." Slipping her tongue on her dry lips, she Paused and took a deep breath.

"Harib bhai..is just creating suspense. He..told me that...the scholarship list for the interns is going to out in coming week and I asked him to let me tell you. That's...that's all." She said and I looked at her suspicious.

"Is it true Harib?" I asked looking at Harib.

"Its true." Slowly, he answered.

"Why you both created so drama. That I knew that's the list is about to reveal within a week." I said and saw her turning to me.

"I'm sorry. You got worried because of me. Are you okay now?" Haya asked and I looked at her and just gave a nod to her.

I keep looking in her eyes which had the colour of sadness. I knew there was something they were hiding from me. It was not what they said but something else. Tears brimmed up in her eyes and she looked away and I got more confused.

"I'll just come." Saying,she walked to her room while I looked at Harib who walked to me with slow steps.

"You really can't see and feel Khizar." He said making me startled again on his words.

"Now what does that mean? Don't I have eyes!?" I said annoyed on his words.

"You do have but the curtain is hiding you from the reality. Open this." Pointing toward my heart,he said.

"Open your heart then you'll see everything. I feel bad for you." Saying he took steps back and walked out of the house leaving me in shock.

What does that mean!??

"What he wanted to say?"

Am I dumb to understand everything?

Why he's making everything complicated!?

I thought and turned to see Rehan who was also as shocked as I was. Slowly, I took steps toward him who was looking at me.

"You understand what happened before minutes ago?" I asked looking at him.

"I'll tell you later." He replied and walked from there and I sat on the cot and held my head in my hands to understand what was going on.

Hafsa's POV.

"So any improvement in Khizar's mood? Is he romantic?" Asked Sonia and I turned to her as my mouth's taste change to bitter on his discussion.

"Romantic and that dumb personality! Just a fool and backward fellow." I said and put the bubble gum in my mouth.

"Really!? But I was thinking that you were going to make him drool over you." Sonia said and I laughed on her statement.

"That I'm going to do but that dumbo don't have time for me. Every time his books or his favorite tea." I said frustrated.

"But you know what I'm planning to go on a date with him." I said excitedly as I was thinking to do it.

"Will he ask you to go out!? I don't think so. Just arrange a family dinner with him he's not going alone with you." Sonia said and I start thinking

Somewhere she was right. The poor fellow had his own rules and principles. After the engagement not for once he called me or talked to me by himself. It was always me. I wish I could get a man with a lots of money then I was really going to kick this Khizar out of my life. I just couldn't handle his noble and kind,perfect and dumbo personality.

"I'm thinking to find someone else. How will I tolerate this man my all life!?" I asked Sonia as I was feeling irritated with his thought.

"Relax girl. Don't forget he's a successful doctor of future. His residence in London." Sonia said and I signed and turned to her.

"That's why I'm stopping myself. Otherwise I and him impossible." Looking at the ring, I was wearing, I said and pulled it out if my finger.

"I and Khizar have no match at all. But because of the luxurious life,I have to be with him,I'm tolerating him." Saying,I threw that ring in my bag.

"Let's go. I'm not in mood of taking class anymore." I said while getting up.

"Yeah right! You think that guard in front of the gate would let us  go." Sonia said while standing up.

"Let's see." I said and walked toward the exist.

Going slowly to the gate, we looked around to find any way to escape out but guard was standing right in front of the gate blocking the way.

"I don't think we can go out." Sonia whispered in my ear.

"Rizwan open the door." The other guard came running and we both hide ourselves behind the pillar.

We both were looking at the Prado coming. My eyes were fixed on its shin. The black beauty was slowly moving toward the exist and I was just captivated with its beautiful. How luxurious it felt,I thought to be there in this car.

"Who's there?" I asked in a whisper looking at the tinted windows.

"I don't know." Replied Sonia in same whisper.

Suddenly, the glass moved down and my eyes went to the one who turned his head toward me and my bag slipped from my hand and fell down.

"Waseem." My lips moved a little in shock.

In fully suited with black goggles on,he was surely waseem. Throwing a simple glare on me,he turned his head again to the window screen and his car went out of the collage while I was standing shocked.

"I told you it was waseem that day. It was him. Oh God it was him." Sonia said but I was still in shock.

"Girl are you listening me!" Turning me toward her,she asked and I blinked my eyes in shock.

"How!? How can he like this? He was poor fellow who didn't had anything to eat and now in just few months,he's having that Prado under his feet. It's impossible." I said with disbelieve.

"Its true. Its Waseem." Sonia said again and I walked in with the thoughts on my mind.

"How? I mean how?" I was asking only this question to myself.

Third person's POV.

Its been a week that incident of Harib and Waseem passed. All three of them were quite on their places. On the dinning sheet,where the dinner was placed in front of them but their minds were lost in their own thoughts.

"Hafsa and Khizar I was thinking.." Suraiya Begum started and all looked up at her.

"I was thinking to do your marriage before Khizar leave for abroad." Suraiya Begum said and all three of them coughed as something chocked in their throats on the words they heard.

"You okay?" Suraiya Begum asked looking at all of them.

"Wa...ter." Coughing hard,Khizar said and Haya forgot her coughing and took the glass of water and took it closer to his lips while Hafsa drank water to calm her coughing.

"Are you okay?" Asked Haya while caressing his back and he gave a nod.

"What happened to you all? I didn't say anything wrong." Suraiya Begum said looking at them.

"Ami what I was saying that...why...why so sudden? I mean I don't want to do it now because I want to complete my studies first." Hafsa said hurriedly.

"But its not that hurry. Just the Nikah I want to do of you both. The rukhsari would be done after Khizar's internship." Suraiya Begum said and Khizar tried to say something but Hafasa again spoke up.

"Its not necessary. We're not in hurry Ami. Let him settle down first then we'll do this. Right Khizar!?" Hafsa asked and he gave a nod.

"She's right khala. Just wait for few time. It will be soon done." He said and Suraiya Begum nodded.

"Okay as you both wish." Said Suraiya Begum and all sighed on their places with relieve.

All start eating. Filling his plate with biryani,he took a spoon full of rice to his mouth and just with a spoon of rice,he start coughing that now it was getting difficult for him to gulp them. But he did that and coughed more. He felt his tongue and throat burning.

"It's...spicy. So much...chilly." Khizar said coughing and pushed the plate of rice back.

"Its yum. I made it." Said Hafsa and tried to hide her smile as she did it on purposely.

"Don't eat it son. Hafsa you should know now that he does not like chillies." Suriaya Begum said and looked at khizar who drank water.

"You okay?" Caressing his back,Haya asked him who was still coughing.

Running to the kitchen,she state searching for honey while on the other side Suraiya Begum was making Khizar drink water and Rehan was caressing his back. All knew that he was allergic of red chill and still Hafsa used that.

"Hafsa I'm not going to forgive you for this." Suraiya Begum said angrily.

"I'm sorry Ami. I'm sorry Khizar. I..I forgot that you don't like chillies." Showing concern,she said.

Haya came back with honey and gave to her mother.

"Khizar have this. You'll feel better." Suraiya Begum said while making him eat honey.

He felt relieved and Suraiya Begum turned to Hafsa who was looking at Khizar

"You're going to his companion and yet you don't know anything about him. If you love him then you should care for him. You should know his like or dislike. I won't forgive you if you did this mistake again." Suraiya Begum said angrily and hafsa looked down feeling bad.

"I'm sorry Khizar." She said and cried.

"Its..okay." Hardly, he could say and left from there.

Khizar's POV.

Closing my eyes,I was trying to sleep but couldn't as my throat was hurting.

Turning my sides and again I was trying to sleep but couldn't. I got stiffened when I felt bangles tickle. The fragrance touched my nostrils and again those magical fingers touched my throat giving it a massage with balm and those whispers of verses going in my ear giving me relieve. With every move of her fingers,her bangles were moving,creating a havoc inside my heart.

Blowing verses on me,she straightened the duvet on me and I smiled on her care. I didn't know why hut I smiled. I felt her going back and I smiled turned to other side.

"Hafsa." Mumbling her name, I smiled more as I knew it must be her.

It was her. My Hafsa who didn't show any concern at that moment but now came to heal my pain. With a smile, I drifted to sleep because now my heart was calm.
