*khushbu's pov:

                               I just stand there with the lady crushing my bones . The momnet she leaves me an old lady comes and hugs me ... Another breath taking hug.

     Ya Allah! She is so old but healthy as Horse!!

        I look up at Raftar to find him hugging a guy . Then the two ladies glance at each other then between Raftar and me and smile broadly.The lady who seems to be around my age holds my hand and says .

        "Oh bhabhi(sister in law) you have no idea how blissfully happy i am . Finally the stupid brother of mine found his love of life. His life partner."then it dawned on me that she must probably be his younger sister she had same eyes as raftars but a bit lighter shade than his while his were darker and a bit deap-----

       Khushbu! What is wrong with you

      I shake away the thought and look at the old lady who looks at me like she found a dimond in midst of stones. I quickly recover from my thoughts and get to my manners.

"Assalam walikum " I say to all three of them . The guy who is with Raftar has a big grin on his face . He looks a lots like Raftar but a bit different although he isnt as handsome as Raftar he is handsom in his own way . I assume him to be his brother.

" walikum Assalm bhabi" he wishs back while I just smile at him .

" walikum assalam " the Rafatrs sister and the old lady whom I presume to be his grandmother say at a time. I smile at them .

       Raftar's sister is so beautiful and chearful so is his grand mother and his brother why is he not like them . I would rather my kids look like Chipmunks than angry birds.

      Wow! Khushbu get your thoughts under control.

      "Oh! Bhabi please do share the reason for your blush coz you look so cute.." I blush even more harder making them laugh while Raftar simply gave beginning of smile with his eyebrows pearked up.

   "Well, Bhabi I'm Sami  this is -"
Sami continues to give intro when his sister stops him and says..

" hey Bhabi , I'm saajal " giving me a wink "and this is of course your grand mother in law .... Hmm you can call her daadi maa since Raftar bahi calls her that while Sami Bhai and I call her granny " winking at daadi maa I chuckle at that.

      " hey I'm not that old !" Daadi maa pouts and winks at me . we all laugh out . what's with the Ali's winks??!!

         Then later all disperse leaving me alone with MONSTER ! I gulp and sit on the divan and he comes and sits beside me. Just then ammi comes with a waiter with drinks .Raftar takes a blue colour drink but when its my turn I just say " no thank"

" khushbu ! Take a drink you haven't had your breakfast properly you must me starving and you look weak !"

   "No I'm fine " I say with a smile.

    "Just take it !" Raftar says glaring at me. I slowly take the glass trying to avoid creating a spectacle of myself . Not that I have much option either.

I can't seem to even put it to my lips . It's smell makes me throw up . I guess it's a lemonade. I scowl at the drink. Raftar is busy with a middle aged man who then suddenly turns towards me and says 'Assalam walikum ' and I say walikum Assalam with a smile .I invited all my friends Fatima, Fariha ,Shaheen ,Walid ,Zaid , Nazma, Farhan, Sameer,Saira ,Neha, Faiza. From the table they all were sitting Farhan was sticking his tounge out at me while I did the same to him and blushed.

Farhan is the best friend of mine that I have in guys and Fatima in girls . We three know each other from childhood but I never looked at Farhan in any other way than a friend but Fatima had a huge crush on him . I looked at Fatima and smirked and she turned red . Confused at my gesture Farhan turned towards Fatima then at me with his eyebrows raised. All of sudden I felt a hard grip on my wrist to find Raftar's nails digging into my skin soon the smile left my face. I dint look at him , I kept my eyes down cast .

"I guess I asked you to drink?!" He says in a calm voice " why do you have to disobey me all The FREAKING time" he spats at the word freaking and pulls always his hand.
"Drink ,now" he demands.
"I-I-" I stammer. I don't want to ! But then when I look up he give me a hard look so I quickly gulp down the drink.
Yuck!!
I scowl down at my glass . Do you even call it lemonade it's so .... Bitter!
" oh , now I get it .... You don't listen to what is been told but wait until you are punished .Next time you disobey me .... " he gives me a warning with a hard look than makes me run away .

He need not be so harsh , I mean it's after all just a drink ! I have this sudden urge of crying. Tears threading my eyes. I look down at my hand fidgeting with my finger . He will order me around after the marriage . I would be his puppet. Maybe he would even hit me. The thought alone makes me sick . I quickly mumble excuse me and leave while he frowns . I go to a near by room that seems to be empty . The moment I get in I trun around to see if someone is in room when I find no one I drop on the floor heaving my breath. The tears that I have been controlling ,run down my cheek.I quietly start to sob .

I was so engrossed in crying that I dint look at my surroundings until a hand offers me a handkerchief.
I look up to see who it is and my body goes still. What is he doing here?

Why do you have to come ?! Can't you let me even cry in peace.

I don't take the handkerchief he offers .

" when did you deside to act like a gentleman... Or should I say human being" I tell with incognito venom dripping from my words.

" from the moment I desided to be your husband."
I scoff at his words " husband ?!! You!!!"
"Yes me , my dear wife " he says nonchalantly.
" oh it would be fun to see your face when you would notice that I would never be your wife even if we got married. Because I already have some one in my life whom I love . I would love him till death do us apart."

" oh ? And who is he" he says with frown.

Yes! Finally could get hold of his nerve!

"Someone and no one who doesn't matter to you" I say smirking.

He holds my arm and looks into my eyes but with a poker face.

" last time don't let me repeat myself- who. Is . He" I gulp and tell the first name that pops up in my mind.

"Farhan"

Oh shit! I'm so sorry Farhan!
