Fuming, Sarfaraz rushed down to the hall where all the arrangements for the Haldi function were done. The large hall smelt flowery as it was overly decorated with strings of jasmine, and marigold flower petals. He found Fareeha with other celebrity girls next to a super-tall shamiyana made of multiple long strings of marigold, jasmine, and less white rose. Under this, the bride-to-be will be settled. The mid-height, toned man adjusted his camera, trying to get the aesthetics. Three women inspected the large copper bowl of Haldi. A few ladies sat next to a small chair on the carpeted floor with dholak and sang traditional Indian wedding songs for the bride. Fareeha clapped to the tune, enjoying the light musical atmosphere. Suddenly, she felt a strong grip around her upper arm and a pull.
"Ah!"
"What the hell is your Adil's problem?" Sarfaraz gritted his teeth.
Fareeha pulled her arm from his hold, - "Excuse me, mine?"
"Come with me." He reached out for her hand, but she turned away from him.
"Why are you taking out your frustration on me?" She scowled at him. Sarfaraz exhaled, and his body calmed.
"I need to talk to you." He made a sad face, held her hand, - "Please."
Fareeha observed him for a second, then nodded firmly.
Sarfaraz took her to a secluded corner and told her everything that happened in Sheetal's room.
"Are you going to console Dania?"
He looked at her, thought for a moment, then shook his head, - "I ran behind her for too long. But when she needs someone, she chooses Adil."
Fareeha hesitated, - "Dude, you are doing the right thing." She bit her lip, - "She has been taking you for granted for way too long. Plus, she didn't think twice about returning the ring to you."
Sarfaraz shook his head, then nodded. Getting courage, Fareeha continued, - "Think na, dude, she was never serious about you. You proposed to marry, but she left you with a boyfriend tag. And she won't let you tell anyone about your relationship. Then she goes around telling Adil and me that she was unsure about you."
"Really?" Sarfaraz looked sharply at her. Fareeha nodded confidently. He couldn't ignore the building heaviness in his chest. She was unsure about him, so what was she doing with him? Why didn't she tell him directly? They could have sorted things.
"She has distanced herself from you, for her mother's sake. The same mother whom she hated, who was the reason for her being sent to juvie. Because of her mother's affair, her father killed himself and she also attempted to kill herself. But now she has a soft corner for that same mother? For her, she broke up with you."
"And look at you. She insulted your mother and you when we were fourteen. Her mother still insulted your mother and you—where is your self-respect, dude? I know you are a little dumb when it comes to her, but for how long will you keep the rosy glasses on? Dania might have found Adil for comfort, and you became her obvious second choice."
