"Hadh se zyaada mohabbat hoti hai jo

Kehte hain ke ibaadat hoti hai woh

Qusoor hai ya koi ye fitoor hai

Kyun lage sab kuch andhera hai

Bs yeh hi noor hai...

Jo bhi hai manzoor hai..

Kuch toh hai tujhse Raabta 💓"

Everyone was stunned at his words but the look of determination in his eyes was telling that he was saying the truth.

Her parents were astonished, while Rubina and her son were speechless but the most affected was Konain, she was standing like she was struck by lightning.

She never thought that he will do this, she found herself in a grave dilemma.

Taimoor was surprised at his words but he knew that Shazir loved her and the mere thought of her with someone else made his brother say something like this.

"Choty Khan... What are you saying? How can you marry her?"

"Why Rubina Ji? Aren't you happy hearing this? You are worried about her wellbeing and reputation then why you sound so shocked, it's better to marry her off to a respectable house than marrying her to some greedy people,"

"Well she doesn't deserve you, you are the son of Mir Burhan Khan family... and she... She is a mere average girl,"

"Let me be the judge of what she is and will be to me, don't stress yourself... I am going to ask you, uncle Ji and aunty, will you give your most precious treasure to me and made me the happiest man in this world?"

Her parents didn't know what to say, they knew that Shazir was a gentleman just like his brother, they have heard the stories about this family reputation and their kindness.

Konain didn't have any strength in her body, if it not for her mother, she would have been fallen a long time ago.

"Shazir... Beta... This kind of decisions should not be made in haste, it not only about my daughter future but also about yours,"

Taimoor understood the hesitation in Farooq's voice as he nodded at Shazir, he will stand by his brother.

Shazir knew that his brother wanted him to assure her parents and he happily obliged.

"Uncle Ji... I am not making this decision in haste, I have a long time ago made my mind and I know my family will support me because I will be a lucky guy to have such an amazing life partner in my life as your daughter,"

"You can have a background check on me without anyone interfering... I don't want you to decide now, take your time. It's a matter that concerns your daughter and I will be patient to wait,"

Shazir was talking nonstop and some of his words made her parents relieved, they knew this young man will keep their daughter happy.

Farooq sheikh nodded at him with a small smile making the brothers relax but Rubina beghum was not done.

"What the hell is all this drama? You can't just come here and said something this absurd to a girl's parents... This is not a proper way,"

Her parents were shocked to hear the words, Farooq sheikh was confused that why his sister was acting like this.

Taimoor narrowed his eyes at the vile woman as she sneered at them, he wanted to shut her up but today his little brother was acting smart.

"You are right Rubina Ji... This is not the proper way to do this and I am ashamed but don't worry I will make it right,"

Now everyone was confused at his words but more at his charming smile, he turned toward her parents but his eyes are directed to her.

His one smile was enough to calm her racing heart as she felt her soul at peace, she knew this will be her last test.

"Tomorrow my whole family, my elders will come with the proper proposal and do this the right way but before that... I wanted to know that do Konain wanted to marry me or not,"

He smiled cheekily at her and if she was not in utter shock she would have rolled her eyes at him, he has put her in the spotlight and she hated it.

"Shazir is right... Her parent's decision is the final but we have to know if she wants it or not... Tell us Konain, will you marry Shazir? Will you be happy? Because if you are not happy then I will stop him, your happiness matter to us,"

Taimoor smiled politely at her, the brotherly love in his eyes so clear. Her parents turned to her, holding her close.

"Konain... Bacha, today don't think about us, don't think about the world... Just think about your happiness. We will be relieved of that you find your happiness, Bacha... If you find tranquillity in this... The peace you wanted then don't step back,"

This is the first time her mother spoke but her words had a great impact on her heart. The khan brothers just waited for her answer.

Farooq sheikh moved toward her, pulling her face to see her misty eyes, the pain, and agony in them expose to him.

This clenched his heart as he saw his daughter in pain but he knew she just needed the right words to make the decision.

"You are my proud Konain... You are the one who made me a better human, a better man. I am sorry that I have never protected you as I should have but today I wanted you to be selfish and take this happiness... I see that young man look at you like you are the most beautiful and precious thing in his life, don't let anyone hold you back, not us, not the people, not the society... Just follow your heart... Dil naseebo ko jorta hai lekin rooh... Rooh insano ko... So today choose wisely my love... Make a difference and build a connection, a new Raabta with the one you wanted,"

She was in dilemma but the words put her soul to ease, she looked at her parents and their calm smiling faces.

She moved her eyes to the pair of intense brown eyes, the same eyes who are looking at her with so much hope and love that she felt her heart burst with so many emotions.

One look at him was enough for her to make the decision, she knew what she wants, what her heart wants, she nodded at her parents who smiled in relief.

Shazir sighed in relief as he was internally dancing, he wanted to fist bump the air and yell around but he keeps calm as he doesn't want to behave like an immature person In front of his in-laws.

Taimoor patted his back in happiness as he looked at his brother with glee and pride, his brother was growing up but he still has the Baby Shazir Khan days often.

They were going to congratulate each other but the next moment, the roaring startled them.

"I won't let you do this, she can't marry him... I have already talked with Feroze parents and she will only marry him,"

"Appa!!! Stop this now... She was not happy with that proposal and she will never be happy in that marriage so stop this nonsense now,"

Farooq sheikh yelled at his sister but Rubina beghum was out of her mind.

Shazir felt anger again shimmering its way in his veins, but control it for her.

"Why Rubina Ji? I mean you loved your niece so much... Then what's the matter here, why do you want to marry her off to that fraud and not to a good man,"

Everyone was shocked, but Rubina beghum stumbled back at his words, fear clear in her eyes.

"What are you saying Taimoor?"

Farooq sheikh asked as he looked between his sister and the town leader.

"I am saying that the man your lovely sister was trying to marry your daughter with is a fraud... He was already divorced because he was abusive to his first wife and he just married her for her money,"

It looks like it's a most shocking day for this family, Rubina and her son look away from their confused eyes.

"Appa... What is he saying? Is it true?"

"I don't know what's he talking about brother,"

Taimoor smirked at the woman as he turned his attention on her, and the intensity of his glare trembled her core with fear.

"Oh, so you are saying that you didn't take 50,000 rupees from Mr. Feroze Mahmood's family to do this alliance... That you didn't assure them a big dowry in exchange for your niece and a job opportunity for your son, a partnership if I am not wrong,"

Everyone single person except the mother-son duo is perplexed at the revelation, her parents can't believe the words they heard.

"LIAR!!! I didn't do anything like this... Trust me, brother he is lying,"

"Well, I have no reason to lie and frame you, Rubina Ji... I knew that something like this will happen so I came with proof, Shazir please go and get me the file from the car, I forget it there,"

Shazir glares at the woman as he goes to retrieve the file and calm himself down before he kills someone.

Taimoor knew that his brother needed to calm down so he deliberately sends him to get the file and calm the hell down because this is not the end.

He smiled sympathetically at her parents and then turned toward the door where Shazir entered with the file.

Taimoor took the file from him and squeezed his shoulder as he moved toward the devastated family and give the file to her father.

"The file has every detail about this whole drama... I have called Konain my sister and I will never let her marry someone without getting a proper background check on them,"

Farooq sheikh took the file with shaking hands as he looked at his sister who looked dumbstruck, he then opens the file and his world turned upside down.

"This file has each information... How this whole thing started, Rubina Ji doing the deal with Feroze family, her knowing everything about Feroze past but still she keeps it to herself, about her demanding a partnership for her son in exchange of her niece and so much more... It also has completed a background report on Feroze,"

The family read the file that contains so much more, the first report was about the whole deal that made them shiver in disgust.

The second part of the report has all details about Feroze, how he trapped innocent girls in his love and rob them, and then ran away.

But his last plan backfired on him and the girl asked him to marry her first, he marries her to do the same but was now a wanted criminal for fraud and many more things.

The girl his ex-wife was clever enough to not give her money to him and also press charges, that's why he was on lose trying to get married in the greed for money that Rubina beghum promised him.

He was bankrupted, a fraud, a cheater, and most of all an abusive man that find pleasure in controlling his woman.

Farooq sheikh stumbled back as the file dropped from his hand, Hafsa and Konain hold him and made him sit as tears of guilt and regret flow down his cheeks.

He looked at his sister who was now looking fearless, she didn't look ashamed.

"Why? Why did you do this to my daughter? Tell me damnit!!!"

He yelled but she was unfazed, she just looked at the khan brothers with hatred.

"Well, now it all clear... And her family know everything so there will be no problem in Shazir and Konain wedding,"

Taimoor knew that there is still some unwanted answers to find out so he poked the woman and that just do the job.

"oh no... She will not marry him, she was garbage and deserve nothing more worthy,"

Her parents gasped at the words, Konain was habitual to this hatred so she keeps quiet but khan's brothers were not happy.

"Why Appa? Why this hatred for my daughter?"

"Because I hate you... You are my step-brother and I hate you and your family,"

"What? How?"

"Stop with this rubbish... What... How? And why?... I am over it, you wanted to know the truth fine I will tell you the truth,"

"You know our father married your mother after my mother died... She was a good woman but she can never be a mother for me, I learn to live like that... Faking every time... playing with you, loving you but in reality, I hated your guts for coming in my life,"

Farooq sheikh felt like his heart was being stabbed, his family was the only thing that was supporting him.

"I thought that you will never abandon me... Your big sister... but then this woman came into your life and you rejected my sister-in-law's proposal just for her... Because of you, they have taunted me there my whole life... You ruined my life then your daughter came and I promised myself that I will get my revenge by destroying the most precious thing for you... Your daughter,"

She pointed at Hafsa beghum with a mean glare and spat each word with venom.

"Then why give us this house? Why help us?"

"Well you are stupid to think that your sweet, kind big sister is helping you... I just wanted to put you under my debt, I wanted to put leverage on you and your family and destroy you with my kindness,"

She rolled her eyes at his heartbroken look as she saw everyone, her eyes stopping on the khan brothers.

"But it looks like Mir Taimoor Khan ruined my plan, he was again the hero but I will get my revenge... I will destroy you brother,"

Taimoor looked at her with impressed eyes that confused her then he tsked, which made her frown.

"Well, that's a pathetic attempt and excuse for destroying someone's life. I really feel bad for you Rubina Ji, I mean you planned so much but it all backfired on you and now you will be punished,"

"Who will punish me? I did nothing wrong...,"

She was scared but didn't let it show, Rubina beghum was trying to act all strong and that made Taimoor smirk at her as he chuckled.

"No, I won't... I mean, I can but I am not that free to deal with you... I have a whole lot of people to handle and you are not even close to that list but don't worry my Dear friend Shahzamaan Bakht will...,"

This got Rubina beghum attention as he mentioned the new DSP of their town, he smiled at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he pulled his phone that no one noticed in his hand and put it to his ear.

"Yeah, zaman... You heard and record all this... Good, yeah... Ok, I will let you decide what to do... Great, will meet you soon buddy... Allah Hafiz,"

Now this made everyone stunned at his cleverness, he deliberately provokes her and she like the idiot she is spilled everything.

Taimoor put the phone away, still, a smirk plastered to his face.

"As I said, I will let the law deal with you Rubina Ji... The police car is outside waiting for you... The proof is here and you, yourself confess everything so it's easy now,"

The next minute, the police constables came and arrested the mother-son duo as they trashed around.

"Thank you Taimoor... Without your help, this will not be possible,"

The said DSP Shahzamaan Bakht thanked him as he signaled everyone to move.

Taimoor smiled as he nodded at him ignoring the screaming woman and her son, who were giving him threats, he knew this is all barks and no bite.

"You will regret this Mir Taimoor Khan... I will not leave you... I will kill you Konain, you bitch... I will destroy you all... I will sue you all, leave me this is my house...,"

Konain felt all the rage of years that bottled inside burst free as she stops the constables. She moved toward her phupho and looked in her eye with equal fervor.

"You are wrong ...this is not your house, this house was inherited to my Baba but you cried in front of him to give it to you years ago because your husband was asking for money... You tricked my father... So Mrs. Rubina Shabbir get ready because I will charge you for plotting and tricking Baba related to this house because Baba never signed any papers,"

Rubina beghum eyes get wide as she thought about what Konain said and started trashing.

As Farooq sheikh realized that his daughter was right, he just gives the house to his sister and the debt she was putting on him was never real.

He thanked his LORD for not signing those papers years ago, and just handing the property papers to his sister, now they can claim their house.

"No... No... This is my father's house... I will kill you,"

She tried to attack her but Shazir step in front of Konain shielding her from the murderous woman.

Rubina and her son was taken away, as silence engulfed the room

After a few minutes of silence, they all stood and Farooq sheikh looked crumbled. Shazir gulped in nervousness as he moved toward the man and hold his hand.

"Uncle... Please don't think about it too much, I know you never expected this but your family needs you more than some selfish people,"

"Shazir is right uncle... Don't worry... We will help you, just relax it's finally over. Your family is safe now and I have already handed the copy of this file to police and they will handle Feroze and his family also,"

Taimoor smiled with reassurance, as he nodded at the family, Farooq sheikh just gives them a mere smile.

His mind still can't digest the fact that the woman he worshipped since childhood will do something like this to his family.

Shazir sighed in relief as he heard his brother, he still wanted to kill that man for even thinking about his Nain but that's not important now.

Shazir holds her father's ice-cold hands in his and squeezed, he smiled at him giving him all assurance he needed.

"Uncle Ji... I will not give you false hopes and promise anything that I might unintentionally broke... Because the only thing I learn from my family is that a real man never promises, he commits. And today I am committing in front of you and my LORD that I will try my best to make your daughter happy, she will have the best of the world and In sha Allah of Jannah. She will always find me beside her in worst, in her best, in happiness, in grieve... I will try to make this work with every fiber in my body,"

Farooq sheikh felt relieved for the first time this evening, he wiped the tears on his face as he patted Shazir hands, giving him a nod.

Konain just keeps looking at him, she didn't know how this man was so damn good.

He can behave like a grumpy five years old but then he will act all mature and responsible when required.

One thing she knew was that her heart had made her connection with him, she now has a strong Raabta with Shazir Khan and it will always grow with time.

"I know young man... That why I will be honored to hand my daughter to you, tell your parents to come tomorrow,"

The Khan brothers laughed happily as her parents smiled at them, but her heart was content with the news.

She felt his eyes on her but didn't look his way, she was feeling shy and nervous.

He smirked as he saw her shyness and planned to tease her later.

"Now it's late... we should go home and you all need time after all this,"

Everyone nodded, indeed it was a long day for them, Farooq sheikh shook their hand and thanked them.

"Thank you so much for helping us... I will be indebted to you for this Taimoor... Even you Shazir,"

"No need to thank us, uncle... And now we are going to be family so it's a pleasure to help our people,"

Taimoor spoke politely, Shazir was sneaking glances at her innocent face, his heart at peace and happiness filled each pore in his body.

"Konain go beta... See them off, Allah Hafiz gentlemen... Will wait for your family tomorrow,"

Her parents greeted them and went to their room because even if they are happy for their daughter, the betrayal of years was tough on them.
