Mine To Be Called ✓

Andaleeb remained silent at this for a while. He did have a point. If she had fled now, everyone would have already known it was Aurang. They would track him down quickly and he would die at their hands. If worked on his plan, they would have a lot of time to act upon it. First, his father would be busy in taking care of the guests who would question upon seeing no bride. This would give her a chance to go with Aurang anywhere he would take her. She would be able to get some money and cash with her as well for future use in this way.

"You will not leave me like this, Aurang. Right?"

"Of course not, Andi. I love you and your companionship is a blessing for me," he replied.

"I love you too."

Andaleeb's stare dropped to her left hand where the ring of Mohid's name was placed. She clenched her jaw in fury. She had to bear this tie and his ring for another five months. She had to pose herself to be normal for everyone t buy that lie that she had accepted everything.

Daneen turned around her head to the left to see her applying nail paint over her long nails as they were sitting in the back of the car. Daneen had to go for her job while they would drop Andaleeb at her university. Unexpectedly she looked fine to her as compared to her turmoil of the last night. Did she make peace with the fact that she was going to marry someone else other than Aurang or was it a silence before the storm? There was no indication that she was affected by it other than the red hue in her eyes.  Wearing a white blouse and pink skirt, she was looking stunning as usual.

"Are you okay?" Daneen asked her.

Andaleeb blew over her painted nails before flashing a smile at her sister. "I am."

Daneen squeezed her hand. "I am so glad that you didn't take that drastic step and thought rationally."

"Of course, Dani. I am not an idiot to not know the outcome of my actions. If I take one step out of my house, it will take Aurang's life with many bullets. I am not selfish to risk him for myself. It was better to surrender to our elders. I will sacrifice my love for his life. This is our fate and I don't want to make Aurang's fate dark because of my own father so I decided to forget him and accept Mohid wholeheartedly because that's what is logical," she replied, feeling bad that she had to lie to her sister like this. But what could she do? This should remain a secret between her and Aurang or else they would not see a life together.

An apologetic expression crossed Daneen's face. "I am so sorry for this, Andi. I wish I could have done something for you. I wish Baba would have accepted Aurang. But you did the right thing, Andaleeb. What you were thinking of doing would bring so many sorrows and miseries for you."

She just twisted her lips at this. "Let me forget him, Dani. Let me forget him completely." She pushed her ring finger having her engagement ring in front of Daneen's eyes. "Now this is my future. I have accepted it."

Daneen returned the smile and nodded. She wished that her sister would find love again in the form of Mohid.

As per his habit, he played with the diamond dice over the table as a sinful smirk came across his lips hearing about the next mission.

"Agent A, this mission is very important for us. I hope you understand this," the leader was telling him while behind him, two gunmen were standing, with their loaded guns.
