CHAPTER 14


    After a whole week dua was returning home back. She had one of the best time of her life on the trip.


    She would had regretted badly if she wouldn''t had gone. Though her baba didn''t even called her once


    called to check on her but to her much amusement arham did called her he asked when she would


    but she denied that she can do it by her all.


    Currently dua was on her way back she was dropped by the local bus stand and was now in her cab


    which would take her home. She was going through her pictures that she took on the trip. She smiled


    slightly at the memories. She was so busy watching the pictures in her phone that the taxi driver had to


    call her out. The moment she looked out of the window a gaspe left her mouth. Her house or say


    mansion was beautifully decorated with lights. Never had ever seen her house decorated much, not


    even for any past parties they had.


    "Madam. There are many people standing at the entrance. Shall I drop you here or in" the cab driver

    asked dua giving out a thick south Indian ascent.


    Dau broke her thoughts chain. She signalled the guard on the door. The guard out there cleared a way


    and a the entered swiftly in. The cab driver parked the car just in front of the fountain.


    Dua payed  the driver. She turned she was confused. Without making her head much into work she


    decided to enter in.


    The mansion was not only very well decorated from outside but was also beautifully decorated from


    inside. It gave dua a wedding kind of vibe.


    she encountered many familiar faces.


    People were running here and there still decorating the house all the maids of there house were busy


    to. She went into the kitchen and saw so much food which made her stomach grumble. As much she


    wanted to have it she wanted to know what''s going on.


    She heard giggles from the corner from the hallway. On her way she saw naima kh (aunt). Ayesha''s


    mother''s sister. It was quiet strange to see her here. Dua said Alhamdulih as naima kh was busy


    speaking with someone else and didn''t saw her.


    But was shocked when saw ayesha sitting on a swing she had wore a beautiful golden dress. She


    looked like an angel. There were girls drawing heena on her hand.When she got more closed she saw


    bua was looking at her. Bua signalled her toe with her.


    Dua followed her to the kitchen. Bua handed her a ss of water.


    "Bua what is happening is everything alright. Is ayesha having her hakika." Dua asked and began


    drinking water.


    "Ayesha is getting engaged" bua said making dua throw out all the water. She began coughing up. Bua


    came and rubbed her back.


    When she was okay. She had thousands of emotions turning within her.


    "With whom?" She asked to bua.


    "The same people that came to see before you left."bua said and continued "they are really good


    people dua. Ayesha will be in good hands."


    Dua smiled. Uncontroble tears were rolling down.


    "At least they would have inform me. That my stepsister is getting engaged. I..I. you know what bua,


    I''m gonna go to my room and pretend that I am not even at home. Just like they wanted me to.


    Disappear from there life." Dua said and climbed down from the stool she was sitting on.


    Bua wanted to stop her but she knew she already is too much hurt. Seeing her stepsister getting


    engaged would cause more damage. So she kept quiet.


    On her way she saw arham who seemspletely normal to her. She more concerned about him then


    her. A smiled appears on arham''s face when he saw dua but dua didn''t mirrored his reflection. She


    wanted to stay and there and console his felling but seeing how much she was hurt herself she didn''t


    had the courage to heal anyone else.


    Dua ran towards her room. She went in her room but on her way. She opened the door her whole room


    was the same that she had left except a beautiful gown along with matching jewelry and hijab.


    A slight sparkle of happiness arose with in dua, she taught did her baba gave her and genuinely want


    her to attend her the ceremony of his family but it all went down when she saw a note it was arham


    who did it. She felt bad for him. Loud bang was on her door. It was arham she opened the door for him.


    He sat on his usual ce on the couch. He was definitely hurt dua could see it.


    "I know. I know. You wanna asked are you okay how did all this happened." Began arham and


    continued "But see the bright side. You know we gonna face it. I want you to dress up and look


    beautiful ande down like a strong women you are and show that ayesha can''t damage you. Show


    her that you are strong." At first dua thought he was saying because he was hurt. But the look on his


    face didn''t let dua slide the excuse. She was standing leaning to the closed door.


    She took a deep breath and began.


    "You don''t get me arham. You would never understand me. All this time I didn''t want to show anything


    to ayesha. I am not like her, anywhere close to her. All I ever want is her to know that I don''t hate her. I


    am never in between her and her happiness. I don''t wanna show her that  I don''t care. I wanna show


    her that I do care about her. I would never ever want anything bad for. Even today, tough she haven''t


    seen me yet I know she don''t want me in her life. So it''s better if I stay out of her life."


    Arham was taken back by dua''s answer but that wasn''t ording to his n.


    "I know. You can stay here and be a coward. But I want you to be there. This might be the chance to let


    her know that you actually care about her. She wouldpletely want you in her happiness. And also I


    want you because I''ll need you. You can use your excuses but I can''t I have to be there. And I want you


    to have my back. Please." Said arham. To bring more impact to his words he stood in front of her


    looking deep in her eyes.


    Dua kept looking in arham''s eyes for a while but quickly averted it.


    "I''ll think about it." Said dua.


    Arham left dua''s room. Dua slinked down the door. She pulled her both legs close to her chest andid


    her head on it.


    Is Ah testing her. She softly cried and asked Ah to show her way. The words of arham made there


    way again in dua''s mind.


    She got up and took a close looked to the gown that wasying on her bed.


    She got down and so many pair''s of eyes was set on her. She didn''t even knew that the hall was filled


    with so many people she was nervous. Her eyes met her baba''s. He again nodded at her. She slowly


    climbed down her way. May being here wasn''t that bad idea she thought.


    She was enjoying there. She although wanted to see who is her future jiju. But she had no idea where


    she would find him.


    She was searching for arham when his voice was heard but through a mic. So he is the host dua


    thought to herself.


    "Ladies and gentlemens. Good evening a very warm wee to all of us as you know we are here to


    encounter two people getting engage to each other. May Ah bless these soul with a long and happy


    life." Dua recited amen on it.


    "Okay so without wasting time let''s call on the family first" soon mr.shah was on the stage. Later


    mr.and.mrs.rizvi were on stage too. Arham asked them to hand both the rings to him.


    "Now it''s time for our couples toe up on stage together." At this point dua turned her attention to


    ayesha. She was looking for armman toe so that they can walk together.


    "Seems like we have to call them again. Armaan Rizvi pleasee upon stage along with DUA


    SHAH." All gasped were heard at the moment. Dua froze up on her ce. Obviously she wasn''t going


    on the stage. But a hand softly leaned into her. She turned to look out was a stranger whom she had


    beside her. It was armaan. He pulled her all the way up to the stage were arham was standing. Dua


    could not understand anything. She was pulled like a rag doll.


    Arham handed armaan the ring. Dua didn''t raise her hand so armaan himself pulled dua''s hand up and


    he slip it easily into dua''s finger. The only people who took it all normal was arham and armaan.


    Dua didn''t wanted to put the ring on armaan''s hand. She just stood therepletely frozen. Soon the


    shes of camera''s were heard from everywhere. She was still frozen goingpletely nk. She left


    that she had no option but to cooperate with what''s going on. Armaan himself took the ring and ced


    it in dua''s hand and spreads his finger in order to dua to put her the ring. Debating she finally slid the


    silver ring in armaan''s finger.
