"I am here to ask your daughters hands in marraige" Rayyan said, making a surprised look to form in Aalif's face.

Rayyan looked at Aalif, hoping that he would  say something but Aalif was staring at him with a smile on his face. Rayyan grabbed it as an oppurtunity to express his feelings.

" Its been a year since I've been in love with your daughter but never have been I proposed her or disturbed her. I love her sincerely and I wish to begin a halal relationship with her." Rayyan gave him a bright smile.

" I know" Aalif said making Rayyan shocked beyond words.

Aalif stood up from his chair and went near Rayyan.

" I know everything beta(son), every single thing about you. Do you remember giving my daughter a present on her birthday?" Aalif asked him with a grin on his face.

Rayyan scratched the back of his neck and nodded his head with an embarassed smile.

Aalif let out a hearty laugh looking at how flushed Rayyan was.

" You might be thinking how I got to know about the present? The day I've seen the present in Hoorain's room, I had noticed the sign of the boutique in the card in which your name was written. Beta(son), you should be more careful, while taking the present for my daughter from your father-in-law,'s boutique shop" Aalif chuckled making Rayyan give him a nervous smile.

But the fact that Aalif said himself as father-in-law in place of Hoorain's dad  made a thousands of happy bomb to blast in his heart.

" I am more than happy to give ny daughter to you, as I have got this strong believe that My daughter will be in safe hands" Aalif patted Rayyan's head.

" After she completes her studies, we will fix your marraige, in shaa allah" Aalif said.

Rayyan was happy beyond words. The girl whom he loved more after his mother, is going to become his. And he was satisfied that they were going to start a halal relationship.

Little did he know the heartbreaking storm awaiting for him.
