Imad tried not to fucos on her but whenever she is in the same room as him he couldn't help but steal a glance at her, he couldn't help but notice small details of her like she always speak in low voice as if someone will scold her for talking loudly, she never talked to anyone with more then two sentences only with Esha he has saw her laughing and talking freely, she always have a book with her and everyday it's another book, does she finished a book in one day? that made him wonder, her hair always put in high pony or bun she never let her hair open, even in high pony her hair reached her waist that made him wanted to see her hair fall freely on her back

He scold himself for these thoughts she is his cousin for god sake!

"Bhai look Zeeshan Bhai is cheating." Esha voice made him come back to his trace who was so busy in Mehek.

"Zeeshan!" He sternly said

"Bhai yeh jab harne lagti hai toh aise hi karti hai." They were playing ludo though Mehek has won the first position Zeeshan and Esha were still playing,

"Mehek was seeing everything, did I cheat?" Zeeshan made all limelight on her, Mehek eyes got wide.

"Uh..I.....I don't know." And thus the siblings war started between Esha and Zeeshan, it was a great show for everyone. Mehek was also enjoying the show was unaware of his eyes on her, it was the first time he has saw her laughing with this close vision.

None realized that the laughing and smiling will soon turned into grief and mourning,

"Imad! Imad." His father loud voice came from upstairs, worriedly everyone ran upstairs,

"Dad!" That was Mehek's voice as she saw her dad laying unconsciously on floor.

"His pulse is still running, Imad we have to reach hospital very quickly." His father told him,

"I also wanted to go." Mehek cries in her tayigi's arm, but Imad didn't approve of it.

"Don't cry everything will be okay just pray for your dad's health."

The night was really hard for everyone, Mehek not once budge from prayer mat she didn't even eat anything when Esha asked her to

Finally as the sun come out Arif Hussain has regain his conscious news also came,

When she reached hospital with Zeeshan she saw Imad sitting in the waiting room, his eyes were red due to lack of sleeping and she was not also in good condition

"Where is dad?" When they entered the ward where her dad has shifted to Atif Hussain was there before leaving he put his hand on her head lovingly.

"How's my princess?" Arif Hussain weakly asked, Mehek who was trying hard not to cry after seeing her father in this condition nod her head.

"Mehek I want to tell you something, but promise me you won't get angry."

"When your mother's cancer was at last stage she had a wished, she wanted to see you as bride, you were still little only seven years old but as it was her last wish we didn't had any other option I didn't wanted you know this like...this but." Arif Hussain stopped to take breath,

"Dad! What happened?"

"You are married to Imad." As the words left his mouth his heart rate started increasing

"Nurse! Doctor! Is somebody here please come." Mehek helplessly shouted, Mehek didn't knew when Dr. Came or when Imad dragged her out

"No I want to go there, I want to be with my dad." She tried to wriggle away from him but all in vain he was holding her firmly

"Please Imad I want to be with him." She fall on floor Imad sat beside her, clenching his shirt in her fist she broke down,

Imad wanted to see her hair open but not in this condition the clip which held her hair together fall away, making her face hide in her hair

"Dr." They heard Zeeshan, Mehek quickly got up and wiped her tears

"I'm sorry." As the words left his mouth, the floor seems to slipped away from Mehek feet.

"Mehek!" Imad who was talking Dr. Heard Zeeshan's voice and saw Mehek loosing her conscious.
