Fatima's pov:
"Beta dinner is ready please come downstairs your mother is calling "she our maid said .. she is working here for as long as I remember . She is a warm person with the beautiful personality. She is almost like a family and everyone love and respect her I call her ma as she is taking care of me since childhood ."I'm coming ma " I closed the book I was reading i and put it on the side table and got up .. as I was going downstairs I see taya abu is here on the dinning table he usually doesn't come home at this hour I mean he usually come late from work !! It's not that I'm complaining he's like father as I'm younger one in all my cousins he love me so much ... But the thing which is not settling down with is my FATHER us here too ... He is very strict and I don't roam around like a fool I'm whenever he's home ..
as I reached the table I quietly said " Aslam -o-alikum ..
my grandma relied
" waslam beta ao bheto we were waiting for you "
(come sit down )
"waiting for me ? Why ? "
suddenly my father said agitatedly.
" don't question your dadi just sit down already and listen "
I hurriedly sat down on my chair and my served me some rice and gave me a glass of water .. I took a sip,my cousin Sana was sitting beside me
" something is not right " Sana to me whispered
" yeah I'm also wondering what's going on " I quietly replied .
" I think one of us is getting married " she said again.
"what ?? " I asked worriedly
" yup because they also did to to dua api like waiting for her on the dinning table and then they announced that she getting married to abdullah bhai " she whispered
" yeah I remember that scene, but the question is ,who will get married now me or you?? "
"Please Allah please don't let it be me Im not ready to get married please " I prayed in my heart .
Little did she know that she is one who's is going to get married!
'Ahem uhh ' taya abu coughed to gain everybody's attention
" I want to announce which is delaying from past one month as we were busy !! "
He looked at father and my father nodded .
" rehab is coming back this February!"
grandma and tayi ma & mama looked so happy after listening the sudden news and me and Sana were just sitting with our confused state but then my father continued
" and we are planning a marriage .. marriage of fatima and rehab "
I was still processing what he said when Sana hugged me .. and said "
congratulations! "
Then it hit me rehab is going to be my husband ... I last saw him when I was in 6 grade then he went abroad and he was like 22 at that time.
" Bring some sweets farkhanda " .. grandma said to ma who was standing right behind her looking at me sadly. I was looking at my father that how can he do this to me . I still want to study.we have talked about it but I'm the one who is not accepting my Fate . he denied to let me study further !
"what you gonna do now??"
My inner self asked me,
dadi asked me to come over she cupped my face and kissed my forehead , " I don't know when she grew up Allah mere bachi k naseeb ache kre " ...
