This was all she felt at the moment. In front of the whole family, he straight away rejected her on her face. She felt like she was being slapped on her face. Her heart wrenched painfully. Her tears were at bay but she did not want to cry. Not in front of the people whom she didn't even know.

She did not want this marriage in the first place but this was not the way to say a no to her. By slapping her with words. It deeply affected her self-respect and dignity. It humiliated her.

She simply stood up and ran to her room. Her tears floated down her eyes and soaked her cheeks when she entered the room. She was a crying mess within five minutes.

She was disgraced in front of people whom she didn't even know. But something in this whole scenario was calming her. She was thinking that he might leave her now and divorce her, her words might have affected him that she did not want this marriage. This thought was somehow relieving her but the pain of humiliation and rejection was still in her heart overpowering her relief. She was never dishonored by anyone in such away. His words played with her heart.

Her gaze lingered on the phone residing on the site table. She immediately picked it up and straight away called Daniyal. That man was her solace, peace, and happiness. A smile formed on her lips thinking about him.

"Hello" Nayab answered after two rings.

Nayab was the only sister of Shoaib and Daniyal whom they pampered a lot. As a result of that pampering, she was overly possessive about her brothers and hated Zahra with the core of her heart because she did not want to share Daniyal with Zahra.

"Kia kaam hai?" She asked rudely.

(What is it?)

"I want to talk to Daniyal," she sternly replied.

"But he does not want to talk to you now go away shooo,"

"Nayab please I am in no mood of fighting. Give him the phone now,"

"Stay away from my brother," she hissed and cut the call.

Zahra took a deep breath. She felt restrained now. She so wanted to talk to Daniyal but her sister always have to come in between.

The phone rang after five minutes and she abruptly picked it up after seeing who was calling.

"Zahra," his soft whisper reach her ear, and that's when she broke down completely. Her whole form began to rack with her sobs and her cries were reaching the skies.

"Daniyal, help me," she cried.

"Zahra, Zahra what happened? Meri jaan rou kiun rahi hou?"

(My life, why are you crying?)

"Daniyal" she hiccupped, "uss ney muj sei shaadi kr li,"

(He married me)

The ground slipped under his feet. His mouth hung open with surprise. His ears began to ring with a deafening ringing voice. All the color drained from her face. Her words echoed continuously in his mind.

'Uss ney muj sei shaadi kr li' (He married me)

'Zahra mje kabhi chorna mat' (Zahra never leave me)
