Chapter 16
1537 Words
I should be angry on my parents and my grandma and instead of that I'm smiling wide while sitting in my room
I'll be getting married to him. HIM!!!!
I don't know why I still don't have a habit of calling him by his name. I had stopped calling by his name when I was 16, when he had stopped talking to me!
Yet I don't know the reason behind him not talking to me. I have decided that I'll talk to him on this topic
I was thinking about him when a knock disturbed me,
"Coming." I replied and made my way towards the door.
I look at everyone standing on the door. The girls were smirking at me and had removed their niqaab's
Something's fishy
Everyone made their way inside while I caught hold of Aisha di's hand as she was having problem in walking
"Di you should be resting." I said and she smiled and replied,
"It's my brother's wedding soon and you are telling me to rest?"
"What? It's only your brother's wedding.. not mine?" I asked pouting slightly. On hearing this she started laughing
"I would prefer my bhai here and you as my Bhabhi. It would be wrong if I tell you as my sister and Zaim as my jeeju." She said and his name itself gave me some feelings which authors describe in their books
"Not fair." I replied and I made her sit on the bed comfortably keeping a pillow behind her, so that her back don't ache
"Jazakillah." She said while i replied 'wa iyyaki' and sat down besides Manal
"So........" Manal and all the girls turned around me
"So what?" I asked and they all started laughing
"Seriously Sara, you both accepted the proposal without knowing about each other?" Aisha di asked while I looked down and pushed the lock of my hair that had escaped from my bun behind my ear
"That...I... why are you all here?" I asked changing the topic while all of them narrowed their eyes
"Nice try." Rumana appi murmured while I smiled speechlessly
"So...my soon to be Bhabhi, will you shift right after your marriage or after you have done your graduation?" Rumana appi asked me and I started thinking about it
After graduation means more 2 years away from him! And after marriage means just in 8 days!
I was still thinking about it when Muskan shook me
"SARA." She yelled while I kept my hands on my ears due to the impact of her voice
"Girl, calm down." I said removing my hands
"Where were you lost?" She asked me while I looked at everyone present in the room who were looking at me with those mischievous eyes
Okay.....
"Nothing?" It came out more like a question
"Don't 'nothing' us we know that you were thinking about your future hubby.." Rumana appi said while smirking at me making my eyes go wide
"What? No!" I replied while she looked at me for a second and replied
"You wait till you both are married and then I'll take my revenge." Rumana appi said making me confused
"Revenge?" I asked while Rumana appi pinched my cheeks and replied
"Aww.... Sara, revenge for what your husband did that morning." Appi said making me more confused
"Morning?" I asked while they all shook their heads
What? I don't remember anything
"Don't pretend that you don't remember." Manal said smirking at me while I shook my head
"I really don't know what you'll are talking about." I said
"We are talking about the romance thing......gosh that was so embarrassing." Rumana appi said hiding her face in her hand while I started laughing
"Sorry...... but that was....epic." I said and they all had a smirk on their face
"Oh..... now you are supporting your husband huh?" Manal asked and my laughter died while a blush crept up my face
"Aww... our Sara is blushing." Rumana appi said and I hugged her hiding my face
I could hear everyone laughing but the only thing running in my mind was
My husband!

We all ladies were now sitting in the backyard when all the boys entered the room but were stopped by Dadi
"Zaim you are not allowed here." Dadi said and he sat down infront of me while eating an apple
"Why?" He started biting the apple while I looked at Dadi
"Because you are not allowed to see Sara till your marriage." She said and he started choking on the apple
Ayan bhai patted his back and Manal gave him a glass of water which he gratefully took
"Now what's this?" Ayan bhai asked
"It's not allowed for a groom to see his bride till the marriage." Dadi said and cheeks heated up on her words
His bride!
"Dadi we are living in a modern world, so there's no need for that." He replied and everyone in the room started laughing
"Why do you all, always have to laugh when I say something?" He asked in a irritating voice
"Because it only shows, how desperate you are to marry Sara." Manal said making me go red while he ignored her
"Let's see how much you can ignore us. We will tease you so much that you will beg us to stop." Rumana appi said smirking at him
"I will never do that." He replied and that's when Dadi interupeted us
"Children, we were discussing something. You all can tease both of them later." She said and my eyes were now wide after listening to her
"YES!!!" Everyone yelled
"Dadi! That's not fair. You should be on our side, isn't it Sara?" He asked me while i was shocked on listening my name from him. I looked at everyone and saw them giving me mischievous looks. I looked down and nodded my head unable to form any words
"Okay fine fine, but now we have to discuss the topic." Dadi said and they all were now silent listening to Dadi
"So, as I was saying, the groom is not allowed to see the bride till the wedding, so now you all divide yourself as to whose side you all will be." Dadi said and Muskan and Manal yelled
"WE ARE FROM SARA'S SIDE." I looked at them and smiled thanking Allah for such great friends
"Hey! You are my cousins, so you should be on my side." He said and I so wanted to argue back but kept my mouth shut
"So what? We are here friends too. So we will be from her side." Manal said and Muskan nodded her head
"But...but That's not fair." He said
"Okay wait.... here's a deal. We will be from the bride's side till the wedding and on the day of the reception we will be from your side. Happy?" Muskan said while he pretended to think and then nodded his head
"Seems like a good idea. Deal." He replied
'I'm from the bride's side." Anaya appi said
"Me too." Nabhan replied and earned a glare from him
"No, you will be from my side and I don't care what's your reason." He said and I was confused on their sudden friendship
When did they became friends?
"So you all decide that and we will divide the house in two." Dadi said and all of them nodded their head
"Dadi from whose side are you?" He asked Dadi and I looked between them
"Ofcourse Sara." She replied making me grin
"Great! Everyone are from the bride's side and from the groom's side? No one. Good." He replied dramatically and I had the urge to roll my eyes
"Brother, don't worry we both are enough from your side." Rumana appi said
"You are the best sister in the world." He replied hugging Rumana appi
"And me?" Aisha di asked
"You are the fattest sister in the world." He said and that was enough to make our Aisha di cry
Mood swings!
"Aisha please don't cry, see I'm telling you sorry in place of Zaim. Aisha please." Rashid jeeju was now handling a crying di
"See I told you that I have become fat." Aisha di hitting Rashid jeeju while he gave a murderous look in his direction which said that 'you are dead'
"Haha.... Aisha di I'm sorry. Actually I didn't mean it that way." He said holding his ears which made him look cute
Cute? Huh?
Shut up
Shaking my head I looked at Aisha di who was now laughing on a joke said by him
What? How did this happen?
"Boys come here, we have a lot of work to do." Manal's said and all the boys followed her
"Zaim you can go and rest in youe room, you are not suppose to work." She replied making all the boys grumble while he went inside with a proud smirk but not before yelling,
"DO ALL THE WORK PROPERLY AND I DON'T WANT A SINGLE MISTAKE."
