"do you agree upon this." mrs.rizvi repeated herself.
Dua for the first time raised her eyes only to meet her baba's one they were demanding to say yes and
daring to say no.
Beside her armaan was tossing his brain. He didn't had any hint what her answer would be. He was
feeling like a fish out of the water.
Dua was dying with in. An wave of adrenaline rushed with in her.She took a breath and nodded with a
fake smile. It was a hard decision for her.
A wave of immense happiness flows with mr.and mrs.rizvi. armaan had his cocky smile on his face
more like a smirk.
Mr.shah was happy with dua's answer. Though he doubted her but it turned out all in his favor.
Ayesha wasn't happy with the decision at all but still she had to put up this fake act. But she was
holding a deep grudge that no one knows about it.
Bua came up with sweets. Mrs.rizvi took a sweet and made dua eat it. As well as she made armaan eat
the sweet. She hugged dua. And said how happy she was with her answer.
Mr.rizvi and mr.shah got up and hugged each other Congratulating themselves.
Soon they chatted. mrs.rizvi asked dua about her job and studies. She also said if she wants to
continue she can even after getting married. To which armaan agreed to.
"Uncle, aunt and armaan the lunch is ready. I have made it all by myself. Please come." Said ayesha.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Everyone got up to have lunch when armaan spoke out of no where "I want to talk to dua in private."
He paused taking everyone's expressions. " you guys go ahead we'll join you later." He said and looked
at mr.shah. He nodded to armaan.
Soon all went ahead leaving dua and armaan behind.
As soon as the coast was cleared. Dua turned herself and looked at armaan for first time. It took a
moment for her to take his face in specially his nose which was looking a bit odd. She folded her hands
in front of her.
"I don't want to talk anything or listen to anything of your mr.I am leaving." She said and turned around
but paused when armaan took hold of her free arm.
He left it quickly when she turned to him.
Armaan ranked his hand in his hair making it look messy.
"So where is that girl who said never in this life I am gonna marry a person like you." Armaan said
putting her hands in his pockets.
"Just consider yourself lucky. Mr. Armaan rizvi." Said dua.
Hearing his name from dua was sounding somewhat different to him.
"Lucky me. You should be considering yourself lucky that I agreed on this. And why don't you say
simply that you can't deny this thing." Armaan said pointing at himself.
A laugh left dua and she shook her head at him. Armaan liked her laugh and a smile appeared on his
face seeing dua laugh.
"What ever makes you sleep at night." She said.
Armaan took a deep breath and said.
"Listen to me carefully dua." He took a step closer to her.
" I am saying this directly and making it clear. I hate those people who cheat upon me. I believe you
won't make a mistake like this." He paused and then continued. " I want you to stay away from arham.
He should not be anywhere near you. Nor any other person should." He said and paused.
Dua did not see this coming. She thought he would bring up the topic of her being weak or something
else but she was shocked to hear him say this.
Armaan was watching dua's face changing in shock. He thought she thinks he is taking doubt on her.
But deep down he believed in her sanity to well.
"Listen don't take me wrong I know you won't do it and I completely trust you but just stay away from
him. I don't really like him" he said.
"Okay" he said directly looking in her deep down brown eyes. Dua nodded.
You know that time when you think the clocks have been ticking slowly and the time is moving taking
his time. And when nothing seems more interesting then the thing you have in your front and nothing
about the world bothered you anymore. And all you wanna do is stay there and savor that moment.
And suddenly your heart beat either slows down taking you to a death or it goes like a rocket shooting
very high.
That was the moment dua and armaan were having unknowingly. No one daring to break the contact.
Like there whole life depends upon it.
But ayesha who was standing at the corner and watching then stare each other this long had it
indigestible.
She made her way towards them her heels clicking the tiles and making a tik tok sound. She cleared
here throat which was left unheard. She called armaan twice and it caught there's attention.
Dua's cheeks were hot and red but she hid it quickly and calmed herself.
"The food is served eat it before it turns cold." She said. Armaan nodded to her and both of them
followed ayesha to the dining hall.
