Amaan rubbed his hands over his face and sighed in exasperation "You should tell Haya. She will understand" Amaan said
"No she won't" Shahana shook her head
"She is sensible enough. She won't hate you. Its just in your head"
"I can't tell her right now. Let the wedding happen"
"If you won't then he will and Haya won't like that" Amaan replied
"I know. I just don't want anything wrong to happen before you two's wedding. I will handle it. I will talk to him and see what i can do"
"Fine. But promise me you will talk to me if there is anything" Amaan said and Shahana nodded in a 'yes'
The door opened and Haya came in "Assalamualaikum" She greeted and then walked towards them.
"How are you feeling?" Haya asked Shahana
"I am good. How are you feeling?" She replied
"I am fine. His tea worked" Haya answered, pointing towards Amaan
"Told you" said Amaan
Haya's eyes fell on breakfsat and she looked at Amaan "you made breakfast?" She asked
"Yeah."
"You should have asked me"
"Why should i when i am completely capable of doing it on my own?" Amaan answered
"Because you are doing all the work since yesterday"
"And i really didn't kept the track of that"
"Ok now, why don't you two go and have breakfast and let me rest" Shahana suggested, interrupting them
"Yeah fine... You rest and get fine quickly..ok?" Haya asked and took her to bed.
After Shahana laid on bed to take a nap, Amaan and Haya left the room and entered kitchen.
Amaan pulled out a chair for Haya to sit and started serving breakfast.
"Don't you have to go to university?" Haya asked
"No. I resigned" Amaan answered and then sat on adjacent chair
"What? Why?"
"I was there only for 3 months"
"Oh yeah. So did Mr. Malik came back?"
"Yes." Amaan answered and then both continued to eat breakfast.
She looked at him to find him lost in thoughts
"Are you alright?" She asked but Amaan didn't answered
"Amaan?" She called him to gain his attention
He looked at her and then nodded "yeah i am fine." He said
"You look quite opposite to that"
"I was just thinking" he said
"About what?"
"About everything. A lot is gonna change in few days. We will be like officially married. Aren't you scared?" Amaan asked
This wasn't what he was thinking about. But this seemed like the best excuse. He couldn't tell her anything.
"I am terrified" Haya answered.
Now he really wanted to talk about it. Why on earth is she terrified?
"Why?"
" Because of the changes. Also because i have to leave my mom alone."
"What if she lives with us?" Amaans suggested
"What?" Haya looked at him in surprise
"Yeah. I mean i also don't like the thought of leaving her alone. So why not?"
"Because she won't agree"
"We can convinve her."
"You..you really want this?" Haya asked
"Yeah"
She smiled widely and standing up from her chair, she hugged him
"You are the best!" she chirped
"Wow! Finally you realized that" Amaan smiled
Haya broke the hug and looked at him "Thank you. This really means a lot" She smiled
"Anything for you" Amaan said, making her blush
The sound of door bell breaks their moment and Haya ran to open it. She opened the door to see Amaan's family there.
"Assalamualaikum" she greeted and then let them in
"Walaikumsalam" They greeted back and Sabreena hugged her tightly.
"How are you dear?" She asked
"I am good"
Ibrahim put his hand on her head and Amreen smiled cheekily at her.
"Amaan told me about Shahana. How is she?" Sabreena asked as she sat on couch.
"She is better now. And is resting right now" Haya answered
"Hey!" Amaan exclaimed as he saw his family
"Assalamualaikum" he greeted
"Walaikumsalam"
"How come you all are here?" He asked as he sat beside Amreen and ruffled her hair
"Not my hair!" She groaned
"You told us about Shahana. We were worried"
"Oh! Ok"
Haya smiled as she found everyone there. Sometimes, people feel lonely and unlucky without realizing how much blesssed they actually are. For Haya, her mother was her everything. She always thought there was noone else for her. But then Amaan came back and she got married to him and she realized she couldn't be anymore wrong. Even if she told Amaan she was terrified, she knew there was no point of being that because she was going to live with the people she loved and who loved her. And Amaan would always stay by her side even though she sucked at cooking and she was mostly violent.

Haya came out into backyard and saw Amaan peeking into neighbour's garden.
"What are you doing?" Haya asked
"Come here." Amaan said
Haya stood beside her and looked at the person he was looking at.
'"Remember this old man?" He asked
"How can i forget? We made his life hell" Haya chuckled
"Yeah we did. He looks so weak"
"Yes."
"We need to apologize to him" Amaan said, looking at Haya.
"What?"
"Yes. We really annoyed him. We owe him an apology"
"You got to be kidding me? We were kids back then"
"And now we are adults. As kids, we did that nuisance. But now, we know that was wrong, so we will apologize. Come on" Amaan said
Haya stared at him and then nodded "Fine. Let's go. Although i doubt he will remember us. He wasn't here for a long time."
"Whatever. But we will apologize."
They went there and were greeted by 40 year old man"
"Assalamualaikum. I am Haya. I am your neighbour" Haya said and then pointing towards Amaan, she continued "And he is Amaan. He is my husband" She said
"Walaikumsalam beta."
"Actually sir, we are here to meet him." Amaan said, pointing towards the old man
"My Father?"
"Yeah"
"Why?"
"Well..We kind of have old friendship with him" Haya said
"Old friendship?"
"Yeah. When we were kids, we really used to annoy him. And now we want to apologize" Amaan said
The man looked at both of them and then started laughing.
"Oh I remember! But i don't think he will recognize you two. He doesn't remember much now" said the man
"Ok but we still want to. Please sir" Amaan requested
The man nodded and took them to him.
"Baba. They are here to meet you. They are our neighbours" The man informed him
The old man looked at Haya and Amaan and then nodded. Both, Haya and Amaan sat opposite to him and smiled
"Assalamualaikum." They greeted
He just nodded and looked intently at them
"We don't think you remember us but we really..umm.. annoyed you when we were kids and now we want to apologize for that. We are really sorry sir. Everything we did was really mean. And we hope you forgive us" Haya said
The old man just looked at them, without saying anything
"I told you he doesn't remember much now." Said his Son
"I may forget the world but not these two devils" Spoke the old man, shocking Amaan and Haya.
They had really expected him to not remember them, but the fact that he had forgotten almost everything and not them really made them re think about how much they actually annoyed him.
They surely might have made his life a living hell!
"Oh wow! Its an honour that you remember us sir" Amaan said as he came out of shock
"And we are really very sorry" added Haya
He started laughing at their panicked faces and then spoke "Did you two get married?" He asked
"What?" Amaan and Haya said in unison
"Did you two got married? I always wanted to see you two getting married"
"Married to each other?" Amaan asked
"Ofcourse"
"So you always assumed that we two will get married to each other?" Haya asked
"Wasn't that obvious?" He stated
"Not for us. But your assumption was right. We did got married but rukhsati is yet to happen. So you can see our rukhsati" Haya said.
"That's good. I wouldn't want to miss that"
"So you forgave us?" Amaan asked
"I was never angry. I got amazing stories to tell my grand kids because of you two" He answered
"Really? Wow! We are famous" Haya said and then the trio laughed.
The old man then put either of his hands on their heads and prayed " May you two always stay happy and may your kids don't make any old neighbour's life miserable" He said
"Aameen" Amaan and Haya smiled and then left after talking to him for few more minutes.
"Its feels so good when you apologize to someone and they forgive you. Doesn't it?" Haya asked as they were out of the old man's house
"Yeah. It does" Amaan said and smiled
Haya looked at him and realized that he still needs someone's forgiveness to feel good. As they were about to enter Haya's house, she stopped him.
"We need to talk" She said and pulled him to backyard with her.
"What?" Amaan asked
"I.. i forgave you Amaan" She said
Amaan looked at her with wide eyes, unable to believe his ears "Really?" He asked
"Yeah. I think its silly to be angry at you for something that doesn't matter now. What matters now is what and who you are now. You were just 17 and people make mistakes. So i forgave you."
"You just said that when someone forgives you, it feels very good. If you are forgiving me because it will make me feel good, then don't. Forgive me when you think i really deserve it" Amaan stated
"You do. You do deserve it. I don't care what you said that day. Since you have returned, you have been here for me all the time. I just want to put past in past and not let it come in between our present and future. All that doesn't matter now. What matters is that we are happy now" Haya said
"I mean you are happy. Right?" She added
Amaan smiled and pulled her into a hug "Thank you so much. And yes i am happy. I have never been this much happy" He said
"Is today the hug day? We are doing a lot of them today" Haya joked
Amaan groaned and broke the hug "leave it to you to spoil the moment"

After few days:
"How did you do?" Shahana asked as Haya stepped in the living room
"Oh it went well. Now there is only one paper left. I am so happy" Haya sighed tediously and sat on couch.
"Why don't you freshen up and then i have to talk to you about something" Shahana said
"What is it?"
"I will tell you. Just freshen up first."
"No i am fine. Please tell me" Haya asked curiously
"Ok. Umm..well.. we are having a guest here" Shahana said
"Oh Samreen told you she is coming?"
"Samreen?"
"Yeah she is coming today and will stay till my wedding. I was about to tell you" Haya said
"Ok. That's good. But its not Samreen i was talking about."
"Then who?" Haya frowned in confusion
"Its a guy. I had a friend. He is her son and he will stay here for some time" Shahana said
"But Mom he is a guy. I won't be comfortable in living with a guy." Haya argued
"Trust me , he won't be a problem"
"Any non-mehram is a problem mom"
"He is not your non-mehram" Shahana stated
"What do you mean?"
"He is your brother"
