Ibrahim was standing outside Armaan's palace like a corpse, and his pained eyes were looking at Jannat, sobbing in pain.
Both of them were sobbing like innocent child, and why wouldn't they sob? After all, in a moment, their world was ruined in front of their eyes.
today they are strangers to each other
Despite being close to each other, there is a never-ending river between them.
How could life have played such a game with them?
How could their Khuda have been unfaithful to them?
how could he have written someone else in their fate?
For what crime had he punished them, Or was it their fate and what they were living was a lie?
The sobs of Jannat were not only striking Ibrahim's chest but also burning Sid's heart.
Both of them felt as if Jannat didn't stop wailing; then, their hearts would burst inside their chests.
Where life dragged them, how could they accept their fate?
At what point life had made them stand, all three of them could not accept their fate even if they wanted to, nor could they fight with their fate.
Azhar had brought such a storm in the lives of these three, after which neither it is easy for them to live nor to die. It seems that Azhar had come into their lives to take revenge for some birth.
Some were forced by fate's decision, and some were bound by the strings of promises.
Sid was lying on his bed and could witness Jannat, who was standing on the balcony, putting her palm over her mouth.
He thought she was crying about her fate, but he had no idea that Jannat was crying for her life, which was standing just in front of her eyes, but she couldn't embrace him.
Jannat felt as if the whole universe was against her.
She was not even able to bear the burden of her breath; every passing moment she spent was worse than death.
Soon she fell to her knees. Then, looking at the sky, she screamed as hard as she could.
She wanted to take out all the pain which she was feeling inside,
She wanted to get free,
She wanted to empty herself.
Inside the mansion:
"You should have asked him about his marriage with Noor, Armaan?
You should have asked him why he betrayed Jannat and didn't come to talk with Baba Sahab! "Kaki Maa said, a little angrily she was very much upset with Ibrahim, and Ibrahim's marriage news with Jannat had fueled her rage toward Ibrahim more.
"You have seen his condition! He wasn't in his sense! "Jay sharply replied to his mother, staring at her with a cold gaze.
"I have never seen him in such a broken state before; it was looking as if something breakdown inside him," Jay's father said, in a very stressful manner, staring at the door. Then he turned his gaze on Armaan, who was looking intensely overwrought.
It was not difficult for Kaka Saheb and Kaki Maa to understand the reason for Armaan's stress; they knew the pain he was going through at this moment but still stood like a stone wall for his family.
Armaan grabbed his head with both palms and closed his eyes.
His child!
Sid,
Janaat,
Baba Sahab, and now Ibrahim too.
It seems as if Armaan is trapped in a quagmire, from where the more he tries to get out, the more he is getting entangled.
His younger brother is caught in the same web of relationship and marriage that is hard to get out of and impossible to escape.
And Jannat, on that poor thing, the universe has done such an excess that she could not have imagined even in her dreams.
What will she do now?
How she'll take this situation?
Will Sid and Jannat would face the same fate as he and Nandini?
The simple thought was enough to make Armaan's heart tremble in terror.
Armaan got up from the couch and started walking here and there. The tension, fear, and stress which was dripping from his face didn't go unnoticed by his family, especially Jay.
Armaan ran his fingers through his hair, then he halted and grabbed his waist tightly.
**No! I won't let fate get repeated,
I won't let Jannat and Sid get hurt.
I have to talk to Baba Sahab; this game should stop here; I can't let everyone burn in agony. No one would stay happy in this relationship.
Damn! What was I thinking?
Why had I got agree with Baba Sahab's decision?
A simple no could have saved all of us, and it could save all the lives which are suffering right now.
I should go to the hospital and talk to Baba Sahab,
I should convince him that he should let Jannat go with Ibrahim.
I can't see three lives burning in front of me,
Ibrahim was looking so devasted,
Jannat,
Her everything got snatched from her in just the blink of an eye; she was forced to shatter her dreams with her hands, and Sid,
( Armaan squeezed his eyes tightly, thinking about his little brother's condition)
I can't ( Armaan was about to move to the exit so he could talk to Baba Sahab, but suddenly, Ibrahim's wedding news appeared in his mind, and he halted at his place.
Armaan sat on the couch as his body had no life inside it )
Oh god, please pull me out of this situation. Please**
Seeing Armaan lost in his Lala world, Jay moved toward his brother and squeezed his shoulder.
Armaan puffed out a painful breath and grabbed Jay's palm tightly.
"Are you alright, Bhai? "Jay asked, sitting on his keens and looking into Armaan's eyes.
"Bhai! Everything will get fine. Don't blame yourself! Just like Jannat, you were also forced by Baba Sahab for this decision. " for Jay, it was easy to say, but He couldn't imagine what Armaan had been going through at this moment.
"Go after him, ( Jay knew Armaan was asking him to go after Ibrahim, so he nodded his head like Laxman Jee). Keep me updated until he reaches home safely! "Armaan told his brother, rubbing his fingers on his forehead stress lines.
"You should go up and take some rest! You already... "Before KaKa sahab completed his words, everyone heard the scream of little Alexa.
Hearing her scream, all started staring at each other, then with the speed of the wind, Armaan ran upstairs to check why his daughter screamed in pain.
Seeing Alexa in good condition, Armaan ran toward her and hugged her tightly while kissing her all over her face. His heart was racing faster than a cheetah "Alexa..."Before he said anything, his gaze fell on the floor, then his gaze chased the blood, and his heart and breathing both got stopped at the same time. His eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and his body turned numb.
Alexa was telling her father about the blood, but Armaan was too numb and lost to react.
He didn't even realize when his daughter slipped from his arms as his gaze was fixed on the room door.
Alexa grabbed her father's finger and started shaking his hand to get his attention, but it was of no use.
Kaka Sahab and Kaki Maa also came up; seeing the blood, they were as astonished as Armaan.
Kaka Sahab picked Alexa up, and Kaki Maa walked inside the room to check the source of all the blood, but Armaan was still standing at his place like a mute doll.
