Aaban looked at his again bleeding fist, he went back to his previous seat and sat down on his chair while Arslan was looking at him with a piercing gaze, his now blue specs of dark grey eyes got almost disappeared as his grey eyes became darker in anger and were spitting clear fury at the person in his front.
"But to be frank Arslan Bhai (Brother), you did a good job looking that we both are happy with each other. And don't worry I'll always keep Aaliya Happy." He said with a genuine smile on his face, he got up from his seat and straightened his clothes.
He looked up at his elder cousin who was still looking at him with a fiery gaze.
"She is in my protection, so stay away!" Aaban said with slight anger in his voice and turned towards the door with an intention to walk out from there.
But he suddenly turned back and looked at Arslan.
"Aur ha Arslan bhai (And Yes Brother), please bandaged your hand as you know Aalu is Hemophobic!" He said with a wink and walked out from his study.
Aaban just had a blur idea of what the situation could be, but he did not at all knew why Arslan left? But his actions from the previous night gave him a hint which helped in creating a plan in his brain. He just wildly guessed and the arrow strikes right at the spot. Now he knew what has to be done?!
Arslan was still breathing heavily due to his anger, he forcefully made his self-calm. He sat down on his chair and went back to all the parts of the conversation he just had with Aaban.
'If Aaliya is with her then what does he meant by he will protect her? Is she in some kind of danger? Does he think that I will harm her? If everything is right then why I cannot feel like that? I know something is wrong!' He thought.
He was still sitting immersed in his thoughts, when the door of his study barged open with a force revealing a beautiful lady in her late twenties, with grey eyes and black hair.
"Appi? (Sister)" Arslan said in a surprised voice.
She walked towards him and opened her arms while nearing him. He stood up from his place and went to give her a tight hug.
"Congratulations!" He said still hugging her while caressing her hair.
They parted from a hug, Raziya took all overlook at her brother but stopped her gaze at his bleeding hand.
"How did this happen?" She said while taking his hand in hers. She examined her hand and gave him a disappointing look.
She went towards cabinets and brought out a first aid kit from there. She slowly cleaned blood first, then applied ointment on the wounds. Then she again bandaged his wound. He made him stand and took a hold of his uninjured hand, lead him to the couch on the side of the study.
She made him sit on the couch, she sat beside him. She looked in his eyes as if finding something.
"What happened, Arslan?" She said looking deep into his eyes.
"Nothing, Appi (Sister) I am just confused about something!" He said while avoiding her gaze.
"Arslan your eyes speaks more than your tongue!" She said on which he smiled remembering the same words from Aaliya.
"Even Aaliya says the same right?" She asked with a side smile on which his headshot in her direction.
It seems like today is the day when everyone will get to know about his love!
"How do you know?" He asked not referring to her statement but about his love.
"Oh, I knew about it for so long. I guess even before you realized it yourself!" She said with a beautiful smile on her face.
"Appi (Sister), I don't know what to do? I feel like something is wrong but I don't know what?" He said with a defeated look on his face.
"Tell me everything from start!" She commanded him in a stern voice.
Arslan told his sister everything before two years to till now, everything.
She shook her head in disappointment at him.
"You did wrong to avoid her, or to distance yourself. It doesn't matter what you saw or what you know. You at least have given it a shot!" She said after thinking for a while.
"But it wouldn't have changed the fact, she was happy and by telling her I would have made it more difficult for her!" He said while looking at his sister.
"Even now, I would only tell you that you should talk to her. Ask forgiveness from her, then only you will get to know the whole truth. What you know is only your side, try to know about her side of the story!" She gave her brother a piece of wisdom.
"I think you are right!" He said with a huff and relaxed on the couch, leaning his back on it.
"But you were coming on this weekend, right?" He asked after a moment.
"Dadajaan (Grandfather), called me. He said I have to be present today afternoon in the main branch of the office." She said to him and caressed her belly absentmindedly. Arslan smiled at his sister's gesture, really happy for her.

All the employees of the office got alerted looking at Hamid Siddique in the office. Then they were more shocked looking at all Three Siddique Brother's in office by afternoon. They knew something was going on but when Aaban and Aaliya entered, it confirmed their doubts. They got shocked looking at Arslan And Raziya.
Some of the employees were working as sources of the media, hence they quickly informed the media and in no time all the news channels reporters were surrounding the building with their mics and cameras.
Aaliya didn't know about Raziya's arrival, so she got excited looking at her in the office. She hugged her tightly as much as she could without choking her.
"You didn't tell me yesterday about your arrival!" Aaliya pouted at her Appi (Sister) elder cousin.
"Because it was a surprise!" Raziya said smilingly and pinched her nose, in return Aliya smiled at her.
Raziya then met with her father, uncles, grandfather and both cousin brothers.
They were all in the conference room, which looked like a family room looking at their happy faces, laughter and light-hearted conversation With each other.
