I was all ready to reject the proposal when I got a message from my friend Ayan. I opened the message and got confused after reading it
Meet me right now. I'm outside. - A
After keeping my cell phone I went outside to see Ayan already there
"Hey, Assalamualaikum." I greeted him and he got up and hugged me
"Walaikumassalam, how's you?" He asked me and I looked to him to get some clue as to why did he asked me come outside
"Alhumdulillah, just mom is behind my marriage. And you?" I asked him when I saw him looking around here and there
"Aaa....Alhumdulillah! Nabhan I want your help." He said and I knew there was something
"Okay and how may I help you?" I asked him
"Actually what do you think of Sara?" He asked me and I started thinking who this 'Sara' was
"Sorry?" I asked him
"How is she as a person?" He asked me again and now I was really stressing my mind thinking who this Sara was
"Bro, I don't know what you are talking about." I said and he looked at me confused
"I'm just asking you a simple question." He said
"And on whom are you asking me this 'simple question'?" I asked him quoting simple question
"Sara." He said confused making me irritated
"And who is this Sara?" I asked annoyed and he looked at me shocked
"Nabhan are you alright?" He asked me making me more angry
"Ofcourse I'm why would you think otherwise?" I asked him
"You don't know Sara?" He asked him
"For Allah's sake can you please tell me whose this Sara?" I asked my voice now loud
"Sshh.... Sara Nabhan the girl whom you had just met with your proposal." He said and realisation dawned upon me
"Oh! That girl." I said embarrassed
"So how do you think she is?" He asked me
"Why'd you ask me that and for your information I'm rejecting the proposal." I said and he smiled
"Okay good but don't reject her now." He said making me confused
"Why?" I asked him
"Listen you would be knowing my cousin Zaim, the one I talk about?" He asked me and I nodded my head because I had heard about Zaim
"Yeah." I said while nodding my head
"So I think he has feelings for Sara." He said
"O wow! That's good then I'll reject the proposal as soon as possible so that he can propose her." I said relieved on the information
"NO.. I'm not sure about his feelings so I want you to accept the proposal." He said making my eyes go wide
"WHAT? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?" I asked him
"Chill bro, just accept the proposal and pray ishtekaara if its a no then you are free, you can easily reject her after we come to know about his feeling and if the answer is yes then you have to marry her.." he said and the image of the niqabi came into my mind
"I'm sure Sara is not the one for me." I said surely while he narrowed his eyes at me
"Who's the girl?" He asked me smirking while I gulped knowing if I tell him about the niqabi I would be dead
"No one....you carry on." I said
"Don't think I'll leave you before knowing about the girl....back to our topic....so don't reject her and if he has some feelings he'll do something or the other and I'll come to know." He said and I nodded my head
"Okay but tell me for how many days do I have to act?" I asked him while he replied,
"Maybe 1 week, 1 month or a year..." he said while I narrowed my eyes at him
"Fine I'll make it as soon as possible." He said and I nodded my head
"Okay than...."
".....and I agreed to help him so that we could come to know about your feeling." I said and looked at Zaim who was looking at me and Ayan with a murderous look
"And one more thing I wanna tell.... the message thing.. I never did message Sara in the group, it was Ayan." I said and they both started taking rounds if the room with Ayan in front and Zaim behind him
"Dumbo! You wait I'll teach you a lesson to not mess with me." Zaim shouted while I started laughing
"Sorry bro, did for your own good." Ayan said panting while they both stopped due to lack of oxygen
"Thank Allah that grandma proposed the proposal." Zaim said and Ayan looked at me while I cleared my throat ready to tell him another story
"Actually there is one more person in this..." I said and started narrating the story
"Ayan I don't think he loves Sara and I can't act anymore, you find someone else." I said moving in my room wile Ayan sat there chilled
"He loves her and I know that." Ayan said and that's when we heard another voice
"Who loves whom?" On hearing the voice the phone fell from Ayan's hand and we both looked at each other shocked and scared
"Dadi....?" Ayan got up from his sitting position and started taking slow steps towards grandma. He took hold of her hand and made her sit on the sofa
"What were you both talking about and do not lie I heard Sara's name being taken." She said pointing her finger at both of us. We gulped looking at each other,
"Dadi... that.... we were... talking about.... Zaim and Sara.." Ayan said shuttering while I looked down
"So you both also feels that Zaim loves Sara?" She asked making us shocked
"Don't be shocked I had that feeling from the very start. I was gonna talk to both of their parents but I myself got a shock when I came here about your proposal." She said the last part pointing her finger at me
"That was his idea." I said pointng my finger
"So that means its a no from you?" She asked me hopefully while I nodded my head smiling at her
"Alhumdulillah!" She said and looked at me
"Don't take me wrong beta, I know you are a good person but I always knew that they both are made for each other." She said and I nodded my head unable to form any words
"So........... now?" Ayan asked looking at me and Dadi while she varrowed her eyes at him
"You wait I'll take your class later but for now I'll pray and if its positive then I'll talk to both of their parents with the answer of the prayers and they have to agree." She said and made her way outside
"So that's how Dadi helped us." I completed the story and looked at Zaim who was now in deep thoughts
"So that means that Dadi was a part of your plan?" Zaim asked while I nodded
"Only for your confession." I said and he smiled widely
"So.... do you hate me now?" I asked him the question which was running in my mind
"Ofcourse I do, the way you were talking to Sara that day. I would have killed you that instant if you wouldn't have went." He said and I gulped
"But that was not MY IDEA." I said and he suddenly turned towards Ayan and we both were shocked on not finding him
"Where did he disappear?" He asked me while I shook my head and replied
"No idea."
We both made our way down and found him sitting with everyone and my heart started beating fast looking at the niqabi that was present there. On noticing us coming all the girls stood up and went inside
"Thank you Dadi for everything." Zaim said while hugging dadi and whispered the words which I was able to hear because I was next to him
"For?" She asked him confused while he looked at me and I nodded my head at Dadi and she smiled at him and kisses his forehead
"You don't need to thank me it was Allah's decision." She said and we were busy talking to each other when the girls came inside with the snacks and a particular niqabi caught my attention
She was standing in the corner talking to Sara
"Hey! Don't look at my Sara." Zaim said and I rolled my eyes at him
"I was not looking at her." I said and before he could ask anything or say some thing the decorators came and saved me
The rest of the day we all were busy deciding the necessary things for the marriage
