Ayaan stood frozen to the ground; his eyes were glued to Maulvi saab's face who was giving information about Ayaan's nikah ceremony that had taken place in the community hall. Ayaan could feel every member of siddiqui mansion looking at him with confusion, anger, but he didn't care about their reaction, he would explain everything to them later.
The only person he wanted to protect from this new information was standing behind him, he could feel her teary eyes bore into his back. He wanted to turn around hold her close in his arms and explain her everything, but it was as if his feet were glued to the ground, he couldn't muster up enough courage to look at her face, which he was sure would express pain and anger. What was he going to say to her that he left her for twenty minutes only to return after getting married to a different person?
His breath hitched as he heard a muffled sound from her, "who was the girl?" she asked in a broken voice.
"Zoya!" Maulvi saab replied back "she is a beautiful girl, I am surprised she is not present here, Ayaan where did you take her?" the men next to Maulvi Saab questioned.
Ayaan clenched his fist as an attempt to prevent himself from thrashing the guy, he was making the matter worse. He could hear Humaira's small steps move away, as she ran out of the room, Ayaan sighed at what he had done.
Gaffur thanked the Maulvi and his community members, and escorted them outside, every other member in the room were to shaken up to question Ayaan. They started muttering on what was going to happen now.
Ayaan felt a hand on his shoulder, "bhaijaan I think you need to go speak to Humaira, she needs you". Nikhat told him. "I can't Nikhat, how am I going to face her, what I have done is beyond reasonable, I can't see her hurt". Ayaan replied.
"I know Bhaijaan, which is why you need to explain her anything, imagine what she must be going through right now; she needs an explanation for all this from you". Nikhat pushed Ayaan towards the stairs.
~Ayaan took a deep breath gathering up all the courage, as he opened the door to the roof, he looked around finding Humaira standing next to the railing. He could hear he small sniffs.
He walked up behind her, "I am so so sorry Humaira, I know you must be very upset with me and you have every right to be, but Humaira believe me my intentions were not wrong, I was trying to hide from Vikram and his goons, I entered the community wedding hall and took another groom's place, I was attempting to escape but Vikram wouldn't give up, and then dad called I was talking to him, when Maulvi saab questioned me and he assumed that I was saying yes to the nikah. I am really sorry Humaira, I promised you that I will never hurt you and again I broke my promise" Ayaan said in one breath, he waited for Humaira's response and when she didn't reply, he broke down.
Humaira turned around hearing a loud thud, only to find Ayaan on his knees. She quickly bent down in front of him.
"Ayaan you haven't broken any promises, You know all these years that I spent loving you I didn't even know whether you would ever love me back or not, but I still had a ray of hope(she held his face in his her hands and made him look up) Do you love me Ayaan?" She sincerely questioned.
"Of course Humaira, I love you, I know it took me some time to understand my feelings for you, but now I love you Humaira and I can't imagine my life without you, please forgive me".
"Now that I know you love me do you think that I would ever let you go, I know that we are in a big problem, but Ayaan this is the test of our love and if we start getting upset at every mistake one of us makes than there is no meaning of our relationship, we will get through this together, we will find a solution, right?" Humaira said encouragingly. Ayaan looked at her amazed, he never though she would take this so lightly. While they were returning home from the community hall, he was thinking of different scenarios on how Humaira would react and none of them included her supporting him.
"I can't believe Humaira that you fell in love with me, I am so many shortcomings, I make childish mistakes and yet you chose to be my side".
"I know love makes you do crazy things, I love you Ayaan for who you are and your shortcomings are a part of you, I will always support you Ayaan and I promise you that". She said and they shared a small eye lock. Ayaan took her hands in his and kissed them lightly.
"I love you Humaira" He said touching his forehead to hers.
"I Love you too". She replied as a tear rolled down her eyes, which Ayaan wiped with his thumb.
"Ayaan, who's Zoya, I want to meet her". Humaira asked.
"You have already met her before, Zoya you know Bhaijaan's would be wife!" Humaira became shocked.
"How can that be Ayaan, why would Zoya be out on her wedding day" Humaira questioned.
"I don't know Humaira, I never got the chance to ask, we both were both so shocked I just told her to forget about all this and left to find you" Ayaan said standing up and helping Humaira.
"We need to go to Asad Bhaijaan's house Ayaan now, We can't let Zoya deal with Asad Bhaijaan's rage alone, all four of us need to discuss this together and find a solution, let's go" Humaira took Ayaan's hand and ragged him out.
The second part of this OS will have all four of them working together to figure out a way out of this situation.
