Destined To Be Yours

☆1 Engaged!

Madeeha's P.O.V:

I can't imagine I did it!

Finally, Dad will be proud of me. I wish at least.

I ran inside my house with a pleasant smile yet proud face and imaginary eyes.

"Muma!" I shouted on top of my voice only to I realize I disturbed some guest sitting in the dining hall.

I saw my mom coming towards me. She covered my hair with my Dupatta.

"Behave patiently, your dad doesn't want you to ruin his reputation in front of these guests." She muttered under her voice to me.

She called a servant and asked him to give me the tea-tray so that I can offer it to them.

To my surprise, I somehow knew these people, for once I almost recognized one of the ladies but later I withdrew my thought.

"She is my daughter Madeeha Khan." My dad said proudly as I offered them tea.

The people as I could see 2 ladies and a mid-aged gentleman, may be of my father's aged looked at me with amazement and didn't bother to even shift there gaze from me for a single second.

Slowly, one of the ladies started asking me questions regarding my hobbies, likes, dislikes, etc.

But the moment she asked me about my cooking skills the one-shot thing that came to my mind was... DAMN IT! Are they here with a marriage proposal? I don't want to get married so soon.

I mean I just topped my 4th semester. Only 1 year more please! but all I could do was to sit still and nod my head on what dad says. I never went against his decision.

"Mr. Khan I'm glad to say I liked your daughter a lot. I have no problem with this Marriage, rather if you want I can ask my son to meet her alone once." The man said who my father earlier mentioned as Mr. Sabir Khan.

"Well, I have already met your son. And in my opinion, I don't want my daughter to meet any stranger before marriage. Hope you understand." my dad stated but my focus was on his word 'Stranger'.

They all had lunch with us and the lady who might be my future mother-in-law hugged me.

They all went back but I was still amused at what happened today with me.

"I'm so happy for you princess. And thanks for not reacting, this alliance was really important to me and of course for your better future too." My dad hugged me with these words.

Sometimes I wonder if he had a few minutes to consult me or at least tell me of any decision he took for me, but forget it... I can do nothing but sigh.

The next day my mom came to my room. She had a red colored Saari and she wanted me to wear it. I asked her why and her reply was "Because I want my daughter to look the best in her engagement dress."

"Wow! Now today is my engagement also?" I tried to speak but the words came out more like a question.

"Yes sweetie, you are getting engaged and next week we'll begin with your marriage rituals." She hugged me and kissed me on my forehead.

"Mom! Don't you think we are rushing up everything? I need to tell you something." I asked her, my eyes filled with tears and all sorts of emotions.

"Is there a boy in your life? What is it?" She bombarded the most awaited question! I was so damn sure she would take my words otherwise because why not? If a girl denies marrying the only reason for our so-called society is she has a boyfriend. That's completely obvious.

"No, mom. Definitely not that. I scored 98.67% in my 4th semester. I topped in the whole university." I told her but what I was feeling was more of regret for it. I could see my mom's facial expression change. She was happy but tensed. I don't think I did something to be ashamed of.

"I know you want to study further but baby, this is for your good. We want you happy and the family, it is good they are well rich to do and I don't think they need income from a lady in their house. After all, they are the rulers of our state. " she said making me feel the marks were worth nothing.

"But mom..."

"Get her ready fast, the groom's family may arrive any moment now." My dad said in a harsh tone. He overheard our conversation.ym

Still, how can he be so cruel on his own daughter? Yeah right! Daughter.

I was ready in time and my mom along with few neighborhood aunts took me downstairs where the ceremony was to take place.

My face was covered with my Sari's edge. I could not even move, that heavy the jewelry was. And I bet nobody was able to see my face. Ugh! how come he just agreed to marry me without even knowing who I am?

The night was long but I was with him only at the time of the ring ceremony. I swear the moment he held my hand to slip the ring into my fingers my mind cursed me to push him and run, but DAD!

After that, the ladies took me to another room. Their question answers round began again.

Ruman's P.O.V:

I was sitting in my room when I heard a loud voice downstairs. It was my younger brother Ahaan. He was shouting on top of his voice.

I went down to check what was happening. As I stepped down I saw him running towards me.

"Bhaaaaiiiii! You are getting married!!!!"

He shouted and jumped on me. We were half on the floor if I wouldn't have supported his monkey-ness.

"What???" I shouted which came more like a question.

"Yes son, and as you promised you will have to marry my choice and sorry but you can't meet her before marriage." My mom hugged me too.

What the heck is happening in this house. I'm not getting married to a stranger. Or am I?

I covered my face with my palms in disbelief more like trying to avoid the situation. I knew it was of no sense fighting on this topic as my mom had already made her mind.

The next day, of course, my mother was in a hurry so she asked the bride's family to keep the engagement.

We went there, I wore a white color suit with the texture of red and to my surprise the girl or say my would-be-wife was wearing the same combo.

I was not even able to see her face but seriously do I really wish to marry her? I don't even know her name.

'What you don't even know her name?'

My inner self punched me which I intentionally ignored.

She sat beside me uncomfortably. I took her hand in mine and slipped the ring in her ring finger. She did the same with mine and then went back in.

After that, I was so irritated and with that, I was to bare another torture. The world's worst friends who didn't leave a single chance to trouble me. They started teasing me and I felt to punch them on their faces.

Let go, guys!
