The wedding went accordingly. Especially since Rohit paid alot of money for everything.

When asked by Khan he said ",Amira is young. She already hurt. If this wedding is shabby she will be laughed at by her peers. So it's better for it to be grand and she can raise her head a bit. " He said.

Khan nodded.
"Welcome to the family son". Khan said. "Father. I will look after Amira. I promise". This part ,many people shed tears. Especially the older generation who know more about the relationship between the two. The aunt really has done harm. She could have chosen any other young man.

The only one to attend was Vikram who held a tablet the entire time to show Vinnat and Vijay who attended via Skype.
After the ceremony Vikram said "Hello mother". And the other two in the video also greeted her and she greeted them too.

At night her parents at home alone cried together. Khan said ",This time , almighty look upon my daughter's suffering and help her. " He prayed. His wife sniffed.

While Amir and his family were still on shock that Amira married Rohit and they have not been invited. It was a tough pill to swallow especially since Mr and Mrs Abdallah love Amira and Amir will think of her especially everytime Deepika behaves on such a way that makes him lose face. He will miss her gentleness and virtue.

Then finally ,in the Shaabaz household ,Amira was sitting on the bed waiting. She looked around and realised it was not Rohit's bedroom. It was a guestroom that had been remodeled. Their things were put in one room. The furniture new.  After a while Rohit entered. The noise from outside cancelled as soon as he closed the door. It was some of his relatives,it was his niece and her husband and children and Vikram who were still talking. It was already late around ten pm. He is advanced in age ,he normally sleeps early.

Seeing her on the bed he had a shock ,but calmed himself. He sat beside her and said ",The reason we are using the guest room is that I don't want you to have shadows ,nor compare yourself to my late wife. Just as I hope not to compare myself with your ex husband. Is that okay ?". He asked gently.

"Yes uncle. " She said. " Uncle ?". He laughed lowly.
She blushed.
Rohit removed her veil and looked at her blushing face. And then said "Are you up for it ?". He asked.

"It has to be done ... husband...to complete the ceremony". She said quietly.

He nodded then said ",It's been years since I have engaged. Please bear with me. " He said.
She nodded.

He switched off the light ,put his glasses on the bedside table and laid her down and the rest is history.

In the morning, she woke up and she felt pain ,but it was bearable. And she was clean not the suffocating sweat and grime and stickiness she had every morning with Amir. No she shouldn't be thinking about other man. But there is no harm without comparison.

Meanwhile outside , Rohit went to fetch the newspaper from the gate. And greeted his neighbours by the way and went back inside.

"Look at his walk and his face ,he scored bug time. Sleeping with such a young girl ? Can he not be happy?".  Thinking about their wives they felt bad.

Entering the house he found Vikram and he  asked  ",Where is your cousin ?".
"They left around four in the morning. They have to catch a  six-twenty flight. They couldn't get leave ". He said shrugging while eating breakfast.

Rohit sat down and said ",Are you really okay?".

Vikram smiled ",Well I admit I was shocked. And scared. But I guess we have all been worried about you being all alone everyday. And we also couldn't bring ourselves to tell you to replace our mother-".
