"I am ready for this marriage"
Nawab Behroz Khan and Nawab Salar Khan saw the little standing there with strong expression on her face

Ibrahim was shocked to listen to his daughter

Suddenly Salar saw that she wasn't wearing any duppatta and her hair were open when his gaze fell on her heavy chest he fisted his palms and glared at the guards who lowered their gaze immediately

Salar pulled her towards himself he knew she was a hijabi and he loved it. She bumped into his chest. He pulled out his shawl and draped it on her. Now Wafa couldn't be seen as she was covered by his shawl. He turned her in the same position and started walking inside not caring about anyone. Salar came in lounge and pulled her away

"What was that"
She asked angrily

Salar lowered his gaze and said
"You are not wearing hijab Wafa"

She gasped listening to him immediately lift her hijab from the sofa and draped it around her while Salar was still looking down

Nawab behroz and Ibrahim came inside

"What was that Wafa"
He father asked holding her arms tightly

"Baba I"
She got scared as it was the first time her father was shouting at her

"Just shut up and say no to this marriage right now"
Ibrahim said he wanted to save his daughter at any cost

"No I will not"
She said stubbornly

"Just say no or you will get a slap"
He said angrily

"No I will not say not even if you kill me"
She shouted

Ibrahim was about to slap her when Salar came in between and nodded no

"Ibrahim is that how you treat daughters is that how our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to treat his daughters?"
Nawab Behroz Khan scolded his son

"Everyone will be harsh with her Agha jaan I can't bear this"
He told his father

"You think Nawabs are so low to get revenge from children that too daughters. You know Ibrahim your father will never do that I have took my revenge by keeping you away from you home. Now come back and marry off Wafa to Salar I will make sure nothing bad happens"
Nawab Behroz stood up and hugged his son

Ibrahim sensed his father crying
"Agha jaan please don't cry. I am a very bad son. I am sorry for what I have done in past. I should have believed Salar. I am such a disgusting person my mother was calling me in her death bed and I didn't came. Please forgive me. I have been dying in guilt from past 12 years"
He said hugging his father and sobbing loudly

"No maybe I am not a understanding father. I am ready to forgive you I can't live without you. I don't have any condition. Just come back to haveli. Just fulfill my late wife's wish"
Be melted in his sons arms

"I will come after all it's my daughters mehendi tomorrow"
He smiled at his father and placed a hand on Salar's head then hugged him

Salar and Nawab Behroz Khan left

"How can you do this Ibrahim? And about Wafa I will never forgive you"
Sana said crying hard but Ibrahim made him understand with love

Wafa locked the door of washroom and slid on floor with her back on the door. She gasped and started crying with a hand on her mouth as Armeena and Hashir were there in the room. She couldn't believe what she did but she can do anything for her father thinking this she wiped her tears and made herself ready for this marriage
