Chap. 53

Unclenching his jaw Ayaan looked straight into Kamran Hussain's eyes before he answered so that not just his words but even the expression in his eyes would tell Kamran Hussain... warn him.. Never to mention these words ever again.

"Uncle yeh Nikkah Airaa ne apni zid se zaroor kiya hogaa.. Lekin ab it's all irrelevant. Jo hona thaa ho chuka. Airaa is my legal wife now and will remain so till I die or she decides to end it for herself..." How he said that only he knew.

"Iss Nikkah ka media pe koi zikr nhi hoga naa hi kisi ki itni himmat hogi keh kabhi uske naam ko ghalat context main use ker saky.. Yeh news openly sirf tab disclose ho gi jab hum chaheyn ge... Jaisey hum chaheyn ge. Agr aap shadi graduation ke baad chahtey hain toh mujhe koi aeteraz nhi hai tab tak yeh baat sirf close family main rhey gi.
Baba ki bhi aap ko tension lene ki bilkul zaroorat nhi hai... Amir Sikander is a man who loves control and agr yeh baat kabhi kisi ko pata chal gayi keh unke eklotey bete ne shadi unki marzi ke baghair chup ke ki hai toh unki reputation ke liye kafi disasterous hoga... Iss liye woh kabhi iss baat ko exploit nhi kareyn ge... Balkey yeh show kareyn ge keh yeh Nikkah unhon ne khud arrange kiya hai."

Kamran Hussain scratched the side of his jaw mulling over Ayaan's words and he took this opportunity to continue to make sure Kamran Hussain knows what Airaa is to him.

"Main Airaa ko kabhi koi nuqsan nhi hone dun gaa. She is my responsibility too now."

Pretty daring of him to stake a claim at the powerful industrialist's darling daughter right as he stared back into his hardened eyes.... But he wouldn't be Ayaan Amir AKA Hero if he didn't do these things...

It was his challenging nature that got him stuck with the queen bee in the first place.

"I can assure you I won't take it lightly. Mere liye uski izzat apni izzat se zyada important hai."

Kamran remained silent staring at the fire blazing in Ayaan's eyes and his heart warmed to see the protectiveness he projected for Airaa but at the same time it stung his fatherly possesiveness and a part of him felt envious of how this young man infront of him is now going to have a greater power over his daughter then he himself had.

It was the power of his love...

He won over Kamran Hussnain's paternal love and made his obedient daughter into this rebellious outspoken child over night.

She had begun to reflect the one she loved and they had been soo blind to it...

Sighing in satisfaction, he decided to finally let Ayaan off the hook and dropping his hands on the arm of the plush leather chair he sat upon, gave Ayaan a nod bigger then the previous one.

To Ayaan's surprise even his lips lifted up at one corner in something akin to a barely there smile... But a smile nevertheless.

Ayaan's heart swelled with elation and pride and Kamran Hussain thought to boost his ego by an inch more when he spoke the words in his authorized yet serene tone,

"I was wrong about you Ayaan....you're a sensible young man. Mujhe khushi hui yeh dekh ker keh tum zimedari lene walon main se ho.. Baghne walon main se nhi. Apni beti pe pura bharosa hai mujhe.  Apne liye ghalat faisla nhi karey gi... Aaj tumheyn dekh ker yaqeen ho gaya iss baat per."

Ayaan swallowed and let his head fall, chin touching his chest as his ears turned pink but raised it up higher shoulders back.

Kamran Hussain pursed his lips to keep from smiling at his shyness and got up from his chair.

"Chalo phir... Tumhara interrogation session khatam ho gaya... Meri taraf se approved ho.. Fatima ko thora time lage gaa..."

Ayaan too got up and nodded his head fast knowing fully well that Airaa's mother who hasn't stepped out of her room since he came in, isn't an easy woman to please or to satisfy.... But he won't let the thought discourage him from trying.
