All Chapters of Sacred Vow: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“The stars, moon, and natural flowers are a witness that today, I promise to stick with you till the end. I will be yours till not even death can separate us,” Liyana vowed.“The stars, moon, and natural flowers are a witness that today, I promise to love you, care for you, and stick with you beyond forever. Nothing, not even death can separate us,” Ayaan completed the vow. ***Liyana was in love with her college mate, Ayaan, and her parents agreed to an arranged marriage with the worst person she ever knew, Rayan. Her fate lies in the vow taken with her lover. Can their love surpass the oppression faced by the family? Will their vow stick them together or be their doom?“Love is the most effective cure. In the crevices of disasters, happiness lies like a diamond in a mind, so let's instill in ourselves the wisdom of love. " “Let's, let's stay together.” The sky, mid-afternoon, is a beautiful canvas graced with sky blues and pure milky wh

Liyana was left to follow where her legs took her, beside Ayaan. She could utter nothing. Ayaan collected her written purchase list and did the shopping while she followed him up like a deaf mute. When they were done shopping, he led her back to the road, beside his power bike.“Lead the way to your home, okay? I will take you,” he offered. Liyana could still say nothing. She only continued watching him act like a no-talking programmed robot. Ayaan sat astride on his bike. Liyana straddled behind him. “Hold me, okay?” he told her. Her heart skipped a beat. He started the bike and she hesitantly wrapped her arms around his abdomen. She closed her eyes with a deep short breath and relaxed. She opened her eyes and he rode off. Upon reaching Liyana’s house, she alighted from the bike.“Huh…!” she puffed like a punctured tire. Ayaan handed her basket to her and set to leave.“Hold on,” she finally spoke out, lifting her hand as a hint. “Don’t you hate me too?” she queried, dropping her

In college, Liyana sat with Ayaan in the campus hall, chatting.“That lecturer must be funny for that,” Liyana laughed.“If you say he is funny, then he is,” Ayaan smiled. “Can you tell me about yourself?” he asked, staring into her beautiful eyes.“What more do you want to know about me? You already know my name, right?” she said, staring back into his eyes.“I want to know more if you don’t mind.”“Hmm! Well, it happened that my name is the only special gift I got so far. Liyana Shah, isn’t that awesome?” she stated cheerfully and they both laughed. “To get serious, ahem, I’m the first and last child of my parents. That’s somehow cool and bitter though,” she chuckled. “My favorite color is pink. I like other light colors too, but pink is my favorite. Uh, my father is a Muslim Pakistani while my mother is an Indian Punjabi. I’m stuck between parents of different religions. My father works as a personal driver to one Mr Asad Khawaja. It doesn’t matter though. As long as I am studying,

Liyana studied a bit late on campus one day. She was preparing for her forthcoming semester exams. As she was rushing out of the library to go home, Mr Smith was coming along. She halted. She looked around her and discovered she was the only one along the hallway with evil Mr Smith. As he noticed her, he grinned wickedly. Liyana decided to act boldly by pretending not to see him and walking past. As they were near to each other, he grabbed her wrist roughly and pushed her back against the wall.“Ow!” Liyana exclaimed in pain. Her heart banged heavily against her ribcage. “You think you can escape from me?” Mr Smith groaned, his hoarse voice slammed against Liyana’s skin, sending a warning shiver down her spine.“Let me go!” she struggled with him. He pinned her hands to the wall, standing a breath away and gazing at her.“You still haven’t made up for your failed test and now exams are on the way, how will you cope?” he mocked and grinned.

At Faizan’s place. “I tried talking her out of it, but she was adamant,” Faizan spoke.“We are almost at the endpoint, Ayaan. I have known Zoe for a long time now, she does what she says. She’s that crazy, you know? Just see it as a sacrifice you have to make to save the future of the one you love. I’m sure Liyana is going to be proud of you,” Faizan advised. Ayaan stared into space for a while. He sighed and sat up on the couch.“Are you drunk, Faizan? How can she be proud of me? Have you ever heard that a lady praised her cheating boyfriend?” Ayaan said calmly. “I love Liya, Faizan, I don’t see myself making out with another woman. It rings like cheating in my head. Try to understand.”“I understand you, buddy, you just have to wave it off your mind. I have never seen Zoe desire anyone like that before. She just fell for you, okay? And you know matters of the heart work differently,” Faizan stated. “She is hurting to know that she fell in love for the first time with someone who is
