NOFIL AND ANZA FLOWN TO BEIJING
                 Life was like a dream after being married with Nofil. Right after one week they flown to China to attend Li’s wedding. Li and Chen came to receive them at Beijing airport. Chen was a smart girl in pant, shirt. She was candid with Anza in no time.
‘Cancel your booking at once, you are staying at my side,’ Li got angry when he heard about their booking at hotel.
‘Don’t be angry please. We’ll attend your all wedding functions but pardon us; I think we’ll be more comfortable at hotel. Try to understand buddy,’ Nofil looked at Anza and explained to Li. In fact he didn’t want to put his host in any inconvenience for their hilal food and all other stuff. Li agreed at the promise that he’ll take them himself to explore the great China.

'Then you've totally decided to play gooseberry upon them,' Chen laughed.
'It'll be pleasure in fact. We've come up to this populous city just for Li,' Nofil covered the situation.    
‘My wife is excited to see the terracotta army,’ Nofil reminded Anza talking about that army throughout the journey.
 ‘Not the great China wall!’ Chen asked with amazement.
‘You know Chen tries to see the moon from there. She is confused that if scientists can see the China wall from the moon then why she can’t see the mountains and rifts of moon from here,’ Li laughed loudly at Chen.
‘Li, you can’t let her go in any case, be serious now’ Nofil warned the Li.

‘This is my style of love, she knows. Doesn’t you? He looked at Chen who was posing angry at back seat. They stayed at Rose Beijing hotel. It was a luxury hotel at the heart of Beijing. Next morning Li came to pick them and they visited Forbidden City first.
'Oh no, the first place we're going to visit at our honeymoon at Beijing,China is forbidden city,' Nofil acted worried.
'I should go somewhere else for my honeymoon,'
'Don't get worried dude, nothing is forbidden there now,' Li consoled him following the great cackle by all.

                ‘It had been a palace complex at heart of China, house of many from 14th to 20th century from Ming dynasty to end of Qing dynasty. It's worth watching the architecture and construction of China,’ LI was very excited to tell about the Forbidden City.
 ‘Off course, common people were not allowed to come there, that’s why it is called forbidden city,’ he continued.
‘Well, in that case, we have so many forbidden cities in our country,’ Nofil laughed.
 Anza got really inspired by the totally unique Chinese style construction. Fire bearing dragons, various type of chinese lanterns, paintings, calligraphy on red silk everything was depicting the rich chinese history. They spent a whole day over there discovering the secrets of depraved time, which gobbled the skies viciously.

TEMPLE OF HEAVEN


By evening they reached at temples, which were used for religious practices and ceremonies to bear good harvest for upcoming year,by kings of Ming and Qing dynasties. A mysterious spiritual feeling overwhelmed them during visiting the temples. a connection of earth and heaven seemed to be closest at that place that Li and Chen went to one side to pray for their upcoming life. nofil and anza came out to adjacent park to view all squares of those temples.

GREAT CHINA WALL


  Next day, they went to visit great China wall.
'How the time passed there they couldn't get it?' ‘Enough Nofil you should enjoy the walk and sceneries around instead of making videos and pictures all the time,’ Anza called Nofil third time, when he left back while making video.
'I'm just making videos for you so that you can vaunt before your friends,' he laughed.
Li and Chen left them alone and sat at stairs on wall.

WANGFUJING STREET

They had lavish dinner at Wangfujing street. anza was more curious to see fried frogs, snakes and cockroaches at markets, which she heard about from childhood but there again Chicken was most favorite.
She also bought Chinese tea sets for her home and for the gifts to her family.
'It's wonderful and romantic to visit one of the oldest city of world, Beijing for honeymoon but I'm afraid my wife wouldn't get angry on my more attention towards this city,' Nofil looked at Anza who was lost somewhere else.
'Are you there?' he clipped his fingers.
'i think you're tired. we can skip visiting summer palace and the palace museum. we also to reserve our energies for Li's wedding ceremony. Tomorrow I'll go with Li to Peking University. You take rest,' Nofil observed her silence.
'No, I'm ok. I'm just wondering on Allah's blessing that how he wrote you in my fate,' she said thoughtfully.  

'Ann...actually you fell in love with me and it showed up when I got hit but you didn't want to disclose. Luckily your mother and sister helped me alot,' he smiled.
'I'm sorry Nofil for...,'
'Oh, just quiet...,'
Anza was still thinking of that time.

ANZA'S MOTHER PRESSURE  
‘You promised us not to argue on this issue, and I hope you’ll keep your words,’ mama took the glass and left the room without listening to her.
‘Oh my god, I should talk to Rabia…. No, I should talk to Nofil first,’ her mind was stuck for a while. Nofil called him twice to ask about her condition after her resurgence but the conversation just stayed very formal.
‘I can’t help you anymore. You should accept, what mama is asking for. I’m also with her,’ Rabia’s response was very blunt. There was no escape, except to surrender to this marriage.

Its true that she always discouraged Nofil's inclination towards her. Now she accept or not  but he was succeeded to occupy a soft corner somewhere in her heart.
'Maybe it's written in my fate to miss the shots of my love,' she smiled helplessly.
 She was thinking of the words to explain to Nofil when she saw his number beeping on her mobile. She held the phone reluctantly. Nofil’s excited voice broke her strength at once.
‘How are you feeling now?’ he asked politely.
‘Umm…I’m feeling fine. What about you?’
‘I’m all right, just bored of taking rest. Just want to back on work,’
‘Umm…,’ Anza thought of the words to continue.
‘Anza, are you there? I’m very sorry at the end of your friend. I wanted to tell you before but I couldn’t get any chance,’
‘He deserved that. It was my mistake, I couldn’t recognize him,’
‘Three years back, after establishing his position, he sent some money for his parents and tried to meet them but they refused to take anything from him. They didn’t tell anyone about him,’ Nofil told her the detail.
‘They are very self made and unswerving people. They must be ashamed on their son’s activities, whose greed took him to the wrong way. I’m sorry for them too,’ Anza replied after a pause.
‘I think we have taken enough rest, so we should think forward,’ Nofil changed the topic.
‘Actually, my mother wants….,’ he continued.
‘Wait a minute, Nofil,’ Anza cut him up.
 ‘Please Nofil, don’t take me wrong. It doesn’t mean that I don’t like you or I don’t want to… I actually care for your feelings but my parents have fixed my marriage without my consent and….,’ Anza tried to complete in one go.
‘What are you saying? I don’t understand.’ This situation was out of Nofil’s expectations.
‘I hope, you’ll understand my position…,’ Anza was about to say something when Nofil cut down the call.

ANZA’S MEHNDI FUNCTION
           ‘Sometimes our close relations are too inflexible that make us unable to challenge them, left us no choice except to bow against them,’ she thought by looking at her parents.

Her marriage was fixed after 15 days. Jasia aapi was also here. Anza was participating despondent to all preparations. She didn’t have any contact with Nofil after that. It was her mehndi function today.  She looked beautiful but gloomy in yellow dress with bracelets and necklace of white flowers.  The guests from groom side arrived with the big, decorated plates of mehndi. She got restless.

 Just then she saw Li, dancing among the guests. She met him, when he visited Karachi with Nofil. She got amazed by looking at him. She was about to ask from Rabia when Nofil entered the hall in white shalwar qameez under the roof of yellow duppata. Anza’s heart stopped beating for a while.  All those ladies came on the stage and Nofil sat besides her.  

PLEASANT START OF LIFE
                 ‘What?’ Nofil looked at her amazed eyes.
‘Aren’t you happy on looking at me? I thought instead of pleading the irrelevant people, I should come through proper channel. Thanks god I hit the target in time otherwise it was about to miss. It proved that I’m a better spy and a superb shooter,’ he smiled.
‘Irrelevant people,’ she showed angry.
‘By the way, it’s not funny at all. Mr. Spy cum shooter,’ she was really surprised and annoyed on this situation.
‘Believe me, I wanted to tell you but to give you a shock was completely her idea,’ he pointed towards Rabia. He sent his mother to Anza’s home before going to operation on her persistence. Anza’s parents accepted his proposal after a regular inquiry. He hadn’t an idea that this proposal was accepted without Anza’s knowledge. Rabia played an important role in all the matter.
‘Mention not, dear sister. I saw you reading and smiling at someone’s messages at my wedding and then I came in action. No need to be thankful. It was my duty,’ Rabia came on stage and sat besides her. 
‘Though these hands are rough and tough but these are made just to hold my name,’ Nofil put mehndi in her hands.
‘It’s too much,’ Anza tried to shove her hand from his hands.
‘By the way, you didn’t tell me, when she was smiling by looking at my messages. Does she really smile at anytime,’ Nofil left her hand and looked at Rabia.
‘I think, the picture messages of your dragon festival with Li, in dragon costumes,’ Anza welcomed Li on stage. She was relaxed and happy now.
The function was full of fun and colores. Li also put mehndi in their hands and enjoyed throughout the function.

ENTRY OF EHSANULLAH ON HER NIKKAH FUNCTION
                          ‘I’m so happy to see you. Thanks a lot for joining in. No doubt, my family have planned a most beautiful wedding for me,’ Anza got excited to see Ehsanullah after a very long time on her rukhsati day. She was looking beautiful in traditional red lenga and heavy gold jewelry.
‘Why wouldn’t I come? I wanted to farewell you, in my prayers,’ Ehsanullah patted on her head.
 ‘And I also had to pay back your loan on me, dear mischievous sister,’ he continued kindly.
‘My loan,’ Anza asked.

‘Yes, and I think this is the right time to give it back,’ Ehsanullah presented her the keys of brand new Mercedes.

‘This is your salami and you have to keep it as you know I still drive your BMW,’ Ehsanullah stopped her, before saying anything.
‘Thank you, Ehsanullah bhai. I thought you forgot your loan,’ Rabia took the keys at once. Anza stared at her.
‘Thank you but it was not a loan,’ Anza replied.
‘Yes, it was a deal. Am I right,’ Rabia asked innocently.
‘Rabia is in very good mood, so it is difficult to escape from her today,’ everyone laughed at Nofil’s comments.
So the days passed and she was having blessed honeymoon with him at Beijing,' she smiled on her fate.
