"Bacho follow me into my study." Zoraiz kept mug of coffee on table as soon as he saw his kids entering living room of house. He also signal his wife to follow them. They shared look but follow him anyways towards his study

  They get in. Zoriaz went to sit behind his desk while sana, amna and Zain on leather couch, Mrs zoriaz took seat on armchair beside leather sofa. Three of them waited for him to say something, Shehnaaz kinda has idea that he will mention her Nikkah with Sidharth anytime now but she doesn't know why other two siblings were also called in

"Today we will talk about next step in three of yours life. Marriage." He announced

"Amna just turned 18" Zain reminded his father before giving their mother look. Mrs zoriaz blinked at him, telling him to listen first

"Mein jaanta hoon meri he beti hai zain but that doesn't mean she can't get Nikkah-field, ruksati ka baad mein dekhen ge." Zoriaz finished

"What the hell baba!" Amna spoke

"Language amna." Zoriaz gave her stern look

"Mujhe nahi krna koi Nikkah!" She said loudly standing up in disbelief. Shehnaaz was quite confuse her, amna no doubt was their father's favourite out of them and he would never force her into doing anything

"I have already promised you to Asfand Khokhar" Zoraiz declared coldly taking name of eldest son in khokhar family which is mostly own for their various textile factories

"You cannot do this without asking her yeh koi 90s ka time nahi hai ke kisi ke sath bhi arrange marriage karwado without consent of your daughter!" Zain raised his voice

"Baba ap mere sath nahi karskate ese." Amna looked at her father who didn't look back at her. She didn't recognise man, her father would never ever forced her into marriage, she can feel tears filling in her dark brown eyes

"She has right to chose baba." Shehnaaz looked at him softly

"We are going through very difficult time I want my children to help me out, we are losing everything slowly and yeh sab mere abu jaan ne mehnat se banaya tha with many hardships I will do anything to save it." He said

"Even if that means selling your daughter?" Zain questioned

"I am not selling her!" Zoriaz shouted banging his fist on table while glaring at Zain "She will be more than happy after marriage they are good people sometimes you have to trust your parents!" He continued

"Ami you won't say anything?" Zain was in disbelief at silence of their mother "Apke jese parents se acha hum yateem hote!" He sighed heavily. Zoraiz glared at him

"And yeh business uncle ka bhi hai toh wo kyun nahi kar rahe kuch bhi why only you are doing this!" Zain asked

"Bhai-sahab bhi kya karen! His elder son has disowned him! Unki beti ne engagement khatam krdi and about Aryaan I have looked girl for him from Khokhar's as well." He said, amna's heart shattered

   There was silent. Zain kept hands on his hips as he looked at his father than at his mother. He opens his mouth to say something but debates wether it's right time for it or not. If not today then never. He should not be coward anymore
