wife to Khan's son. I will save two bullets, one for me and one for you if needed" Hajar continued pleading.

Nabi realised her bravery and he also felt that together, they are not afraid of death and it is much sweeter to die in each other's arms. They became aware of a group approaching the shelter, they started shooting but found out that the Khan's men has retreated to get more help instead the whole of Gharapapakh and Aghabashloo tribes put together. They could not believe their eyes, "Don't be afraid, we came to help, if you are alive then answer us." said Nabi's father.

The other tribes like Arasbaran were also there to lend a hand. They joined forces to protect Nabi and Hajar from the soldiers sent by the Khan. "The Garadaghs informed us of your situation" continued Nabi's father while helping him to climb on his horse. "We tried to catch up with you in Arasbaran area but you were ahead of us." Nabi's father explained. "When the Khan of Garadagh found out about your love, he took pity on you and sent a message to the Khan of Shahsovav, warning him of the consequences if he doesn't let you both go free and get married peacefully. Don't worry everybody is on your side" he said.

Upon arrival in the obeh, Nabi's wounds were given fresh dressings and Khan was forced to forgive them. He even consented on their marriage.

Nabi and Hajar's wedding feast lasted for seven days and seven nights. Everybody was invited to the feast of bozgoosh served in sajis . They all gathered around the bride and groom, wishing them all the luck and prosperity in life. Nabi and Hajar both looked at each other, realising that dawn comes after the darkness of night. They were filled with hope and future plans of having a lucky life with beautiful children that will help them forget all the problems they have encountered.
