Chapter 25 The Shocker"Are you okay?" Sanam repeated her question to Humeira. Humeira looked at Sanam, feeling teary eyed. Sanam was confused, not knowing how to react. Humeira put her hand on Sanam's right cheek, looking at Sanam's face. Hayye Allah! She has to be Zoya! Same face...nothing about her has changed, Humeira thought to herself. She doesn't look aged at all. Then...then how come she doesn't recognize me?
"Sanam!" a voice called from downstairs. Sanam turned around, hearing her name. "Coming!" Sanam called back. Humeira gave a shocked look on her face. "I'm sorry." Sanam apologized and then headed downstairs. Humeira stood, confused. Sanam? Then...she isn't Zoya then? How can that be? Humeira asked herself. I can't understand anything! I'll have to speak to Haider.
After the party was over in an hour, Humeira was in the master bedroom, waiting for Haider. Haider arrived inside the room, seeing Humeira standing. "Humeira...were you waiting for me?" Haider asked.
"Yes...I was."
"What is it?"
"That girl you said you saw earlier-"
"It's okay. I forgot about it."
"She was at this party!"
Haider looked at Humeira with a surprised look on his face. "What?! You mean...you saw her?" Haider asked Humeira.
"Yes!"
"How?"
"I was upstairs...and while I was walking in the hall...I bumped into her. And that's when I saw her."
"This means...what I saw was true! Did she say anything?"
"She didn't recognize me."
"Exactly...the same thing happened with me."
"But, Haider...before I could say anything to her...someone called her by the name Sanam. Which means...she isn't Zoya...but someone else. That I don't understand."
"Sanam? Sanam...this name sounds familiar to me."
Haider's eyes beamed. "I understand now!"
'What, Haider?"
"I remember. Asad and Zoya's daughters names were Sanam and Seher. That means...that girl...is their daughter."
"Are you sure?"
"It makes sense, Humeira! Her name is Sanam and she looks exactly like Zoya! No other proof is needed."
"Then what do we do about this now?"
"Did you see who she went with?"
"I believe at the end of the party...I saw her leave with Latif and some other guests."
"Then the time has come...we'll have to confront her."
It was around nine when Aahil, Sanam, Rehan, and Latif came back to the outhouse. Once they came back inside, one of the house workers was standing along with an imam. Aahil, Sanam, and Rehan gave confused looks on their faces. "Arrey! Imam saab! Kab aaya aap?" Latif asked the imam.
"Just twenty minutes ago." the imam replied.
"Is everything all set?" Latif asked.
"Yes...invitations have been sent. I was even able to get in touch with Zayn he and his wife are here in Banaras for their honeymoon."
"Great!" Latif smiled.
"Latif...what's all this about?" Aahil asked.
"Oh...this is a bit of a surprise I know. But I think you'll all be happy with this." Latif said.
"Happy with what?" Rehan asked.
"Aahil and Sanam's nikah!" Latif replied.
"WHAT?!" Aahil and Sanam said in unison, shocked.
Even Rehan was surprised. "Haan! When Rehan told me your nikah story...I was in tears!" Latif exclaimed. "Rehan told me that you and Sanam had to elope and marry as Sanam was to be wed to another man who she didn't like. Filmy...yet so beautiful...seeing such love! That's why you two couldn't have a grand wedding and so you had to reluctantly go for a register marriage."
"He told you all these details?!" Sanam asked Latif.
"Yes! I heard this same story from Zayn...Zayn Abbdullah!"
"You know Zayn?!" Aahil asked Latif.
"Yes! I couldn't attend his wedding as I couldn't travel to Bhopal. I had a wedding here to organize!" Latif said. "But don't worry! We will do a proper nikah for you two! I've invited many guests! This will be done in five days starting from tomorrow! I know it seems rushed...but that's okay...I'm here...so you can leave all the preparations to me and my workers."
Aahil and Sanam were left speechless. "You're doing so much for them...thanks." Rehan said.
"No problem! Now you two go rest! There's a lot of work to be done tomorrow!" Latif exclaimed. Rehan nodded as he pulled Aahil and Sanam, who were still shocked, upstairs to their room. "I don't believe this! A real nikah!" Aahil shouted. "You had to tell Latif the story like that?!"
"I'm sorry. I didn't know Latif would end up organizing an actual nikah for you two. Besides, even Zayn said similar things as well."
Rehan said.
"So now what do we do?!" Sanam asked.
"You and Aahil bhai...will just have to go with it." Rehan said.
Aahil and Sanam looked at each other. They were both speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Go with it?! This is a real marriage! And marriage is no joke!" Aahil exclaimed.
"I know, Aahil. But its not like you both are strangers. You have known each other for quite a while. And who knows...maybe this will help you two get along better." Rehan said.
Sanam looked at Aahil, lost for words. "Besides...if you two refuse...then Latif and everyone will know we were lying. The trust these people gave in us will be broken. We can't do that," Rehan added. "We already have started a new life. Let's not mess it up now. Just trust me."
With that, Rehan left the room. Aahil and Sanam stood in front of one another, looking into each others eyes. Who knew the act we put up twice would turn into reality on the third time! Aahil thought to himself. So this means...five days...five days we acted like a married couple for Zayn and Aaliyah...now in five days...we will turn into one for real.
