Arsh would have been surprised if Noor had accepted him. Hearing her rejection, he was not surprised yet he still felt a dull pain.
He had two ways to handle it. One; To give her time. Another; to change her way of thinking and simplify it for her.
He could give her time. For the one who waited for more than a decade, a few more months wasn't a big deal but is it really going to be a few months? Or a few years?
And he very well knew, because of it, her relationship with his family would also sour. And she wouldn't be able to speak with him the same. She won't look for him if she needs help or a suggestion.
Hence he didn't like giving her time.
So changing her way of handling the situation. He could do that but what if she thinks he was forcing her to change herself? Yes, he wants her for himself but not forcefully. Willingly, and happily.
