" Shah Sahab ne Noor ki shadi ke liye apne dost ka beta pasand kiya tha. Jiske baare mein shayad voh janti bhi nahi. " (Shah Sahab liked his friend's son for Noor's marriage. Whom she may not even know about.)

" Par uski shadi ki baat toh Malik Sahab ne-- " (But for her marriage Malik Sahab--)

" Haan mujhe pata hai. Isiliye usse agava karvana padha. " (Yes, I know. That is why I had to get her kidnapped.)

" Humein samaj nahi aata Shah ko akal kab ayegi. " (I don't understand when Shah will get wise.)

" Abhi phone karta hun, aaj hi akal aa jayegi. " (I will call him now, today only he would  get his wisdom back.)

" Haan sahi hai, rukhsati toh usne hi karni hai beti ki. "  (Yes, do it, he has to do his daughter's rukhsati.)

" Daadi jaan aaj hi Nikaah hua hai, Rukhsati kyu itni jaldi karni hai? ", Asher muttered. (Grandmother today only we had our nikaah, why do we have to hurry for rukhsati?

" Tumhe Rukhsati se darr lag raha hai ya Noor se? ", she asked teasingly. (Are you afraid of Rukhsati or Noor?)

" Dono se, dekha nahi kal subah usne poore ghar ko sir par utha liya tha, aur Uzair ko parso sir todh diya tha. Bichara ICU mein hai. Kahi rukhsati ke baad mujhe window ke bahir na phenkde. "(From both, did you not see yesterday morning she had lifted the whole household on her head and had also broken Uzair's head. That poor boy is in ICU. She might throw me out the window after Rukhsati. )

" Window ka baad mein sochna, tumhe vo kamre me ghusne dein, wohi badi baat hai. " (Think about the window later, if she even let you in the bedroom that would be a big thing.)

Dadi jaan laughed seeing the look of horror on his face.

...

Even if she has left everything to her allah, her mind still asked her the reason behind her abduction. Maliks and Shahs were no business rivals. That she know. So that reason was also ticked off. She does not have any fued with Asher or his cousins, hell she never met them before yesterday. So what the hell might be the reason for her abduction and her nikaah to Asher?

" Kesa lag raha hai nikaah ke baad?  ", Farisha asked helping Noor in taking off the jewellery and makeup. (How do you feel after Nikaah?)

" Sach bolun toh kuch samaj nahi aa raha hai. Daadijaan ne kaha ki Allah ki razamandi thi ismein. Agar nahi hoti toh nikaah kabhi naa hota. Magar mere agava hone main allah ki kese marzi thi? Maine unke hawale sab kar diya tha aur usne yeh hone bhi diya. Sab bhot confusing hai.", Noor said after changing her clothes.

(The truth is, I don't understand anything. Grandmother said that it happened because of Allah's will. If  it wasn't there the the Nikaah would have never happened. But how was it Allah's will to get me kidnapped? I had given everything in his hands and he let the Nikaah happen. Everything is so confusing. )

" Aapne khud hi kaha ki apne sab allah ke hawale kar diya hai, toh samajh lijiye yahi uska faisla tha aapki behetari mein. Chalein aap araam karein kal jaldi bhi uthna hai. Aapka sahi se mayon aur mehendi ka function bhi karna hai.  ", Farisha said patting the bed. (You yourself said that you have given all the things in the hands of Allah, so understand that this was his decision in your betterment. Now you rest since you have to wake up early. We have to do your mayon and mehendi function properly.)

" Tum so jao, mujhe abhi neend nahi ayegi abhi. " (You sleep, I will not be able to sleep right now.)

" Thik hai. Fir aap light off kardein. Shaba Khair. ", Farisha nodded. They were sharing the room today. (Okay. Then you turn off the light. good night.)

" Shaba khair. ", she switched off the light and moved out of the room. Farisha's room was on ground floor, making it easy for her to move down with her bandaged foot.(Good Night.)

The hallway way dark, the only source of light was bulb beside Daadijaan's room. She slowly moved and check the old lady and found her sleeping. Closing the door softly she moved to the kitchen to get herself some milk. And suddenly she was on the floor. 

Asher hastily switched on the kitchen light and saw a girl lying on the floor clutching her bandaged foot.

Yeh yaha kya kar rahi hai? (What is she doing here?)

" Andhey ho kya? ", Noor groaned. (Are you blind?)
