CHAPTER ONE
"Asad! Why don't you get it, you have to do this one day than why can't you do it now." Dilshad asked following Asad to his room.
"ammi! Why don't you understand, I can't marry again" he replied in frustration, settling himself down on his bed. His mother will never understand how much it hurts him when she bring up the marriage topic.
"Asad! You have to let go of your past! You have to look beyond it" dilshad tried explaining it to her stubborn son that he can't live in his past.
"Ammi can we please don't talk about it, I'm so tired I want to take some rest please" he replied trying to change the topic.
"Asad! How long? Just tell me how long?" she asked in irritation, Asad was making her go nuts; she tried so many times to make him understand the situation.
"I don't know Ammi! I really don't know! But I will wait as long as it takes me to find her" he replied throwing himself on bed. He hasn't given up yet and he will never give up his quest.
"No Asad! I want you to get married, I had enough of all this, I'm tired of hearing the same thing again and again" Dilshad yelled, taking out his clothes for him to change.
"Ammi please try to understand! You know that I'm already married" he replied staring at his ceiling. she wasn't helping him heal his wound but instead she is digging it even deeper by bringing up the marriage topic again and again.
"Married? Asad it was just a mistake, that's not how you get married" she desperately tried to make him understand.
"Please Ammi! Don't force me, even like you say it mistakenly, I have got married, and I truly accepted her as my wife, no one can take her place in my life" he whispered.
"Wife? Really Asad? What do you know about her to accept her as your wife? She asked annoyingly.
"The only think I know about her is she is my wife and I will find her no matter what" he whispered irritating Dilshad to core.
"Asad! You know nothing about her, you have no idea who she was, what her name was, where she came from, where she went and how she look now" she tried to keep her voice as low as possible.
"Ammi! I don't need to know anything about her, if Allah got us married than he will definitely bring her back to me one day, and I'm ready to wait for that day even if it takes my whole life.
"Asad! You were just 10 at that time, you have no idea what was happing nor did you know what kind of commitment you were making" Dilshad said sternly.
"No ammi! I was well aware was what was happening and what kind of commitment I was I making" he said in a serious tone. "I wanted her to be with me forever that's why I married her" he mumbled, dilshad didn't missed what he said
"Asad please stop being stubborn, how will you find her? With this picture? She questioned him pointing her finger toward his night stand where he had placed the picture of himself and a little cute cubby girl. "She probably don't even remember you asad neither anything about this marriage, she was only 6/7 at that time" she said sitting down on his bed.
"I don't care ammi! I will find her and make her remember everything" he answered with a stern tone.
"How can you be so sure she is still waiting for you? How can you be sure she hasn't moved on?" asked dilshad in amusement at his confident.
"Ammi! The day say I said Qubool Hai to her, I made a promise to be with her and just like that even she made a promise to be with me, and I know she would never break her promise" he smiled as if like the whole scene was playing in front of him.
Dilshad decided to try it later again after seeing his frustration and disappointment. She wouldn't give up until he agrees for this marriage. She sighed and left his room. "Where are you" Asad mumbled before closing his eyes.
"ammi! What did Bhaijaan said? Did he agree? Najma asked in curiosity, she have been standing outside Asad room trying to hear what he was says.
"As always, NO" Dilshad replied, "but I haven't given up, I'll have to talk to Anwar first" she said before making her way to her room.

"appi! No you can't do this to me, you just can't do this to me" Zoya whined following her appi to the kitchen.
"Zoya! I had enough of you rejecting every single proposal; it's time we take a decision for you" Zeenat replied pouring a coffee on a mug.
"Appi please! I'm not ready for the marriage, what's the hurry appi? I'm only 22" she argued sitting down on her chair.
"I want to see you settle down with someone who will be able to look after you, and most importantly I want to see you married" zeenat said passing her a cup of coffee. Zoya mouthed her thank you.
"Please appi! You know what marriage means to me, and I can't do it again, I just can't appi!" she said in soft and firm tone while gazing down at her coffee mug.
"Zoya! Mere Bachi! You have to let go of your past to move forward in life, you can't be stuck in your past forever" zeenat replied, caressing her hair.
"Appi! I only want him, and no one else! Please, I can never give anyone the place he held on my heart." she pleaded pushing the coffee mug aside. She could feel her vision getting blurred.
"As much as I want to see you settle down, I want to see you happy too, but I just can't let you live your whole life on hope that he will come for you one day" Zeenat reason with her.
"Please appi! Just few more years! I know he will come for me" she requested, she know she have been saying few more years for past 2 years but she can't just give up so easily.
"zoya! What if he never come to get you, what will you do?" Zeenat asked sitting down on a chair next to zoya.
"He promised! He promise to be with me, and I know he will keep his promise" she replied letting the tear drop on her coffee.
"zoya! You were only 6 that time, you have no idea about the commitment you made." she said squeezing her hand firmly seeing her in tear.
"I know appi! I was only 6 but I own him my life. I wouldn't have been here now, if he wasn't there to save me" she stated earnestly
"Do you know anything about him? We could look for him if you know something about him" Appi asked
"No! I don't know anything about him except for this" she replied pointing at the ring which was hanging on her chain.
"That isn't gonna help us find him zoya, we know nothing about him" Appi crunched her nose in frustration.
"I know but this will lead me to him one day, I have a full faith on Allah" zoya replied gazing at the ring hanging on her neck.
"What if he got married again? Or already have a happy family" Appi asked making zoya turn pale. Thought of him living a happy life with someone else made her stomach twist and turn painfully.
"I trust him with all my life appi, he will never break the promise he made to me' she replied almost in a whisper.
zeenat decided to send Anwar to talk to her later but right now she needs some time. she sighed and left the dining table .
