he took a day off to solve the situation on hand. His phone rang and he saw a message from an unknown number.

Keep your wife safe, I have my eyes on her.

He halted and his heart stopped as the fears filled him. He called her number and after trying for the third time she answered the call.

"Are you ok, Kabir?". Her sweet voice said worriedly

His heart relaxes hearing her.

"Where were you?". He asked

"Class. I have to excuse myself because I thought something happened". She whined clearly embarrassed because she had to ask for the restroom in the middle of an important lecture and full class

He chuckles, "Fine. Go back".

"Wh-". She started but he ended the call smiling to himself knowing she must be stomping her feet back to her class

He entered inside the small room the man was held at looking at him still made him angry.

"I will ask this once why were you after my wife?". He asked calmly

"I-I don't know what you talking about. I just saw her there she looked beautiful-". The man said receiving a punch from him

"Don't speak about my wife like that. Speak before I kill you". Kabir yelled angrily

The man looked at him scared, "Y-Your father paid me to follow her and click a few pictures to show you".

His fist clench, "Why?".

"H-He said you are falling for her and he doesn't want that". The man replied

She looked around looking for her food but she couldn't find it. She all over the cupboard but there was nothing. Not a single thing she could eat. She bends down to check under the bed.

"Did you find it?". She heard his voice

She yelp hitting her head on the bed.

"Jahan". He said worriedly pulling her out

She massages her head when he held her hand looking at her himself in case of serious injuries.

"You scared me". She said pouting but wince when he pressed where she hurt her head

"Wait here, ok?". He said running out of the room

She sat down sadly that she didn't find a single item of her food. He came back with a bag of ice pressing it on her head.

"Better?". He asked and she nodded sighing playing with her fingers, "Why are you sad then?".

She pouts, "I cannot find my food".

"You mean your junk food". He teases she looked at him sadly nodding to which he rolled his eyes, "I brought this chocolate for you I guess I won't give you now".

Her eyes widen as she looked at him, "What? Why?".

"Because you are not smiling". He shrugged

She grinned sweetly at him, "Now, can I have it?".

He smiled passing her the chocolate, "I think we should go shopping before that chocolate run out and you are sad again".

In a second she was out before him and he chuckles following her. He entered the house with her following behind but he stopped as soon as he finds who was sitting with his father.

Asfaq- the person who was supposed to be married to Jahan.

Jahan didn't see him stopping causing her to bump into his back. She groaned rubbing her forehead maybe today she was supposed to hit her head everywhere. She feels the tensed environment and moves to his side to look at what was happening and her heart stops the moment she saw the person in front of her.

"Jahan". Asfaq said smiling mischievously

She stepped back hiding behind Kabir not wanting to communicate with the man she was supposed to be married.

"What is he doing here?". Kabir asked angrily covering his wife with himself

His father smiled, "Asfaq is going to be our partner in our campaign".

Asfaq nodded, "I wanted to speak to Jahan".

"No". Jahan said hurriedly

Asfaq eyes darkened as he looked at where she was hiding, "After everything, I think you own me one talk, Jahan".

She holds Kabir's hand and the guilt of leaving Asfaq behind like that filled her. Kabir tightened his hold on her hand.

"Will you come?". She asked Kabir

Kabir was about to speak when his father cut him off, "Let them two talks".

Kabir stayed outside controlling his anger to not say anything to his father. Suddenly, his heart started beating differently almost in fear that had him running to where those two had left.

Just as he opened the door he found the sight that had him see red.

Asfaq had a hand over her mouth and his other hand on her hand holding it tightly while she was crying badly. Anger filled him and he pushed Asfaq away from her and she ran into his arms calling his name which breaks his heart.

He wanted to destroy Asfaq but as he tried to move to him she tightened her hold on him. He needed to comfort her more than hitting Asfaq. His friend pulled Asfaq away leaving him with his wife.

He hugged her tightly allowing her touch to calm his burning heart down. She pulled back looking at him tears still falling down her beautiful face.

"I was calling you, Kabir". She said crying

He raised his hand and with the back of his hand he cleared her falling tears, "I know you were that's why I am here".

She sniffed, "I don't want to see him again. He is bad".

His eyes hardened, "You won't, I promise".

She sniffed looking down playing with his shirt button, "Why did you marry me?".

His heart stopped, "What?".

"Why did you marry me, Kabir?. Will you leave me after your father campaign of election?. Please, tell me". She begged crying

"Is that what he said?". He asked angrily, "That I will leave you after everything ends?".

She nodded, "H-He said that I insulted him and he will take his revenge. He said you were also doing the same thing and once you are done with me you will throw me away".

"You believed him?". He asked a little hurt

She shakes her head, "No, I told him he was lying and I don't want to hear more so he did that".

He nodded sighing, "I didn't marry you to have praises from my father or to ridicule you. If it was on me I would have done our marriage properly and in a much better way. My father a few days before your marriage blackmailed me that he will hurt my mother. He does that occasionally but I have stopped him from doing so for a long time. But, being in a party had him access to some people in power which I couldn't actually fight with. I tried, I didn't agree at first but when he did hurt my mother was when I agreed to it. I never wanted to disrespect you like that, Jahan".

She holds his hands smiling tightly as he continues, "I liked you even before our marriage. I used to see you at our university sometime even secretly follow you around when I knew about your marriage to him I was broken but I stepped back not wanting to create an issue with our families history of being enemies. Then, I had a chance and even if most of it was because of my mother somewhere I was content to have you by my side, Jahan. I don't want you, for now, I need you for all my life".

He bends on his knees in front of her holding her hand looking deep into her eyes, "I, Kabir Mirza accept you Jahan Akbar with all my heart to be my wife throughout my life".

The next day, his father was glad to have a partnership with Asfaq throughout his election campaign. Kabir and Jahan stayed away from the politics instead strengthen their own relationship. They share small touches, sleeps together and care for one another.

For Jahan, it was sweet, she hasn't been in touch with non-mahram to share such contact with a person who had won her heart always causes her to feel blessed.

For Kabir, it was exciting, he had wished to have her as his wife the first day he saw her running inside the university with her food. To be able to have her made him feel delighted.

"Baba (father)?". She said as he saw her father waiting for her outside her university

"Beta (daughter)". He said smiling sadly

That one had meant so much for her she had been wanting to hear it since her marriage. She ran into his open arms hugging him tightly.

"I missed you". She said softly

"I know I am sorry for my words". Her father said patting her back

She pulled back looking at him smiling and Kabir stands beside her smiling at them both. As she expected, her father just gives his blessing to both of them he didn't lash onto Kabir. Later, Kabir explained that he had been pursuing her father for months into talking to him which he rejected at first but accepted and he explained the whole situation.

She was content that both the men in her life love her and care for her.

She walked downstairs where he was waiting for her. Today was his friend engagement party and then he will have his wedding the coming week. She stepped the last few stairs coming into his view.

He had been patiently waiting for her and when he heard her calling him he turned around only to be amazed by her beauty. He could hardly describe in words but she was the most beautiful woman for him.

The engagement party was in swing as everyone had been anticipating for the couple to exchange rings. She watched him standing looking handsome talking to his friend. As if he feels her eyes he looked at her.

They looked into each other eyes until a waiter came blocking her view.

"Ma'am, this is for you". The waiter said handing her a paper

She frowns looking down at the paper which state to come to the back door and it was from her husband. She looked where he was before and didn't find him. She walked towards the back room opening it looking around until she feels darkness consuming her.

"Where is my son?". His father yelled angrily as he entered inside her house

It was late at night and no one was able to locate any of them.

"What do you mean?. What happened?". Her father asked genuinely confused

"We were at a party, uncle. But, both, Kabir and Jahan are not found anywhere. Their phone is closed and no one saw them leaving the venue. We have tried everything. Do you know anything?". His friend explained not wanting the two to fight

Her father stumble back, "A-Are they kidnapped?".

That causes a despise over the house. They remained together waiting for either of the two to reach them or the police to bring the news. Her mother consoles his mother as much as she could. While the two father remained quiet and worried.

"Maybe, you should rest for some time. I will inform you if there is any news". Her father suggested to his

"Why are you being nice?". His father said

"They are our children, Mirza. We might be rival in politics we cannot involve that in our families". Her father said

"But, I forced your daughter into marriage". His father said guilty

"That had already happened if my daughter wasn't happy and glowing I would have killed you but since your decision brought her that I will forgive you. Besides, your son is well mannered". Her father said

"Jahan, please open your eyes, Jaan (life)". He begged crying

She frowns closing her eyes tightly before slowly opening them to darkness. There was no source of light no matter how much she looks.

"Please Jahan, I can't live without you. Don't do this. Stay with me. I love you". He said pleading

Her heart stopped.

"K-Kabir?". She said

"You are awake. Thank God". He said moving closer to her voice he had been trying to find her in dark onto to hit a wall or something

"What happened?". She said as she held his hand in the dark to feel his comfort

"I don't know. I remember someone calling me at the back door and then fainting. I think we are kidnapped". He said sighing

"What will we do now?". She asked worriedly

The next day, the police were of no help so they had their men on the job. Together they were trying to reach their children.

"I don't understand who did it". His father said frustrated

"I think we need to think of someone closer to us and common". Her father suggested sighing

Both fathers looked at one another and their eyes widen, "Asfaq".

"Asfaq". Kabir yelled as he saw his wife being held by her

"Tsk tsk". Asfaq said smirking, "You cannot exactly do anything to me now, can you?".

She whimper as he slowly trailed the knife that was in his hand on her face. Kabir, on the other hand, was struggling against the rope in his hand and leg. From trying to break through them his hand were bleeding now but the rope didn't budge.

"Leave her. Do anything to me. Don't hurt her". Kabir said

"What's the fun in that?. I know she is your life if I hurt her it will hurt you more. You want to see?". Asfaq said pressing his knife hard on her shoulder as she cried in pain

Kabir feels his whole body panicking his heartbreak hearing her cries. He wanted to be able to protect her. The anger course through his veins when he realised he had actually opened the rope in his arms. He kept his eyes on Asfaq and his two men while undoing his legs ropes.

He leapt forward knocking both his guards. He looked at Asfaq shocked figure who had a knife on her neck which had his heart stop.

"You both played me. She was supposed to be mine". Asfaq yelled angrily

Before Asfaq could use his knife on her Kabir moved forward pushing Jahan to side punching Asfaq squarely.

He straddles him punching him again," She will never be yours. She is mine. My wife".

A week passed after Asfaq was arrested. Their parents arrived the moment Asfaq passed out. They were both admitted in hospital and Kabir's friend wanted to postpone his function but they asked him not to. They were finally able to be free the day his marriage was.

She looked at herself dressed in red colour dress looking as beautiful as she could. Her happiness and his love showed in her smile. The red bangles on her hands shine with her. She smiles looking down at them as she plays with them then looked back at the mirror to find him.

"Kabir, what are you doing here?". She said

"Well, I have been waiting for you but I couldn't so I came to here to get you, my love". He said grinning at the pure happiness on her face his heart flutters

They were at his friend's reception. Their family had set their differences aside for their children happiness. His father decided he doesn't want to be in politics as that had a bad effect on him to cause harm to his own family. He apologies to his wife, son and daughter-in-law who had given him a chance.

She moved closer to him as the cameraman asked her. She touches his hand and then holds it as her family, his family, his friend and his bride together with them smiled at the camera.

That was their story.
