Currently I'm waiting for the ladies so that we all can go for the engagement shopping
I smiled thinking of how everyone will be staying together till the marriage
It means seeing Sara daily!
And for your kind information, you are smiling a lot these days
Shaking my head I started tapping my feet in irritation because the girls were taking more then an hour
"Rumana appi, where are you? Stop romancing with your husband and come down right now." I yelled and that's when I saw Rumana appi coming along with all the ladies including Ayan
Rumana appi came forward and smacked my head
"Ouch! What was that for?" I asked her and I could see her cheeks were red and the reason was unknown to me
"Before opening your mouth think, little brother." She said and after thinking a smirk formed on my lips
"Oh, that when I told to stop with your romance?" I asked her and she narrowed her eyes but soon a smirk was playing on her lips
"Let's see what is your condition when you are married." She said and I looked around to see every one looking at me with their naughty smile while Sara was now red
"Let's go." I said avoiding the statement
Once settled inside the cars we all started driving. I and Sara were in two different cars because according to the elders we shouldn't be near each other and we shouldn't talk also
As if we talk!
We reached in the jewellery shop so that Sara can select her engagement ring.
"Okay I and Zaim will go and see our sherwani." Ayan said
"What? Wait let them also come with us." I said and narrowed my eyes at Ayan while he stuck his tongue out
"Ohhh....." all the girls started making noises making me irritated
"What?" I asked looking at Sara from the corner of my eyes whose head was down
"What what? Dont think we don't understand anything." Manal said and I was about to argue when Ayan dragged me with him
What is with him and dragging?
"What?" I asked
"Come with me." He said and I started following him. We reached the terrace of the mall
"Oh so we get our sherwani here?" I asked him rolling me eyes at him
"No." He replied typing on his phone
"Then? Why did you bring me here?" I asked him
"Because I wanted to talk to you." He said and I nodded my head
"Come with me." He said and we both sat down
"So...?" I asked so that he can start with his 'talk'
"Zaim.." He said and that was enough for me to make out that he would be talking something serious and important
"You know it that I consider Sara as my sister, right?" He asked me while I nodded my head
"Ofcourse why would you ask me such a question?" I asked him not getting his point
"Listen Zaim, I know each and everything about you. I even know what happened that night....... so I would prefer that you tell Sara each and everything." He said and my body stiffened
"I know and Insha Allah after our nikkah I'll tell her everything." I said while looking down
"I know that you are guilty of that night, but what happened has now happened and we cannot change your past. I'll only suggest that you tell Sara each and everything and Masha Allah she is an understanding person, she will understand you." He said and many question popped up in my mind
Will she really understand me?
Will she forgive me for that night?
Will she accept me after knowing my truth?
"Zaim, don't over think Insha Allah everything will be alright." He said and I nodded my head
"Insha Allah." I said and after few minutes of silence we both got up and headed towards where the ladies were
"So got the ring?" Ayan asked and I could see everyone were not in the good mood
"What happened?" I asked and Rumana appi was the first one to break the silence
"After breaking our head for so long, your future wife got this ring." She said pointing out a ring in front of me
I took the ring and was mesmerized the second I saw it. It was a simple ring with a single diamond in it. It only said simplicity which sara preferred
"It's beautiful." I said and looked up to see everyone looking at me in anger
"What?" I asks looking at everyone
"Just wow! We were scolding Sara for this ring and here her husband is the one who is supporting her. Great." Manal said and I could feel the mockery in her voice
"It's really beautiful." I said and started showing it to everyone
"We know Zaim its beautiful but its not an engagement ring and even after telling her this she is not ready to buy any other ring." Rumana appi said while pointing her fingure at Sara who smiled speechlessly at her
"So what's the big deal. She loved this ring right?" I asked appi and she nodded her head
"Cool." I said and with that I started walking towards the receptionist
"Can you pack this ring for me and don't make the bill we have one more ring to choose." I said
"Sure sir." She said giving me a polite smile
I made my way towards where everyone were
"Problem solved?" I asked looking at everyone while Manal nodded her head
"I don't want any more ring appi." Sara said and for a second I felt hurt for she didn't even utter a word to me
"Okay appi, you don't buy any ring I'll buy myself." With that I started searching for a perfect ring for Sara
After so much trouble, finally we got the ring and now I'm here trying a sherwani for my wedding. I looked at the colour and gave Ayan a look which said 'no'. After trying so many sherwani's finally I got a royal blue sherwani. After giving it for alteration we both headed towards the girls to see them already out of the shop
"Done?" I and Ayan both asked at the same time while Rumana appi nodded her head
"And yours?" Manal asked and I nodded my head
"Anything left?" I asked and looked at Sara who was looking at something. I looked in the direction which she was looking, to find a black gown on a statue
I imagined her in that black gown and I knew the gown was made only for her. Excusing myself and telling Ayan to take all of them home, I headed towards the shop and brought the gown to gift her on the day of our wedding
Wedding!!!
9 days to go.....
I was about to take my leave when my eyes caught something. It was a simple diamond watch with off-white belt. I brought the watch and left from there
**
I was laying on my bed dreaming about my future with Sara when a knock disturbed me
"Ughhh......if its Ayan I'll seriously kill him." Saying this I made my way towards the door. Once I opened the door I found Ayan standing there
"Did you take a contract to 'disturb Zaim always'?" I asked while crossing my hands on my chest
"Were you busy?" He asked me and before I could say something he made his way inside
Way to go!
"Do you have some time? Even if you don't them make it. We wanna talk to you." He said and I raised my eyebrows at him
"We?" I asked and before he could reply I heard the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in my life
Nabhan!
"We as in, I and Ayan." He said and I turned around to look at him to find him with a smirk on his face
Seriously? Smirking at me? Dude I should be the one who should me smirking
"Fast I don't have time." I said and popped on the bed while they looked at each other and Ayan started talking,
"You remember me saying that day that my friend will be coming for the engagement?" He asked me and after thinking I nodded my head because I remember how excited he was to meet his friend
"Yeah and who didn't show up, right?" I asked him and he shook his head making me confused
"Actually, Nabhan is that friend of mine." He said and I looked at him shocked
"What? Then why did you lie?" I asked looking at both of them
"I had not met him actually. I met him when we were talking to Muskan and Sara. I was gonna introduce him than but he left from there early." Ayan said
"So you knew him?" I asked and Nabhan nodded his head
"Yes we both know each other. Actually I would have talked to Ayan if Muskan would have not been there." Nabhan said and I looked at him with the look which said 'explain'
"Actually....I..hehe....I didn't wanted to insult myself more." He said embarrassed while the look on his face made me laugh even though i should be angry
"You.... hahaha... are.... hahah ..... scared of a gi-girl?" I asked in between the laughter
"No, I'm not scared but I didn't wanted to get insulted more then I had." He said
"Why didn't you reject the proposal?" I asks him maintaining myself and he looked at Ayan who was smiling nervously at me while I narrowed my eyes at him
"What's going on here?" I asked looking in between them and that's when Nabhan removed his cell phone and gave it to me
There was a video which was paused
"Look it by yourself." He said and the video started playing. To be said I was shocked would be wrong. There was the conversation of mine and Nabhan which had taken place on the day of the picnic which had my confession
"How..when....who did this?" I asked looking at both of them and they both pointed at each other
"Whose idea was this?" I asked knowing fully who would be the mastermind
"His." Nabhan said as quick as possible before Ayan could say something
"See don't get angry, actually I had a doubt that you had feelings for Sara so when we got to know about their proposal, I asked Nabhan not to reject the proposal so that I could come to know about your feelings......."
