The Hate You Give

Rauf Dramani's P.O.V " I can't believe my parents are doing this. How can they pick a wife for me? I am a twenty nine year old C.E.O and they think they can just decide for me whom I should spend the rest of my life with ". I sat in my office contemplating about the arranged marriage my parents have set up for me. Aisha is a beautiful fair skinned lady with dark curly hair in her early 20's. She is a law student in her 2nd year. We grew up together even though I was five years older than her. Our Fathers are friends and business partners, so we got to see a lot of each other growing up. I always knew that she was in love with me but I always saw her as my kid sister. So when my parents told me about the idea of strengthening their partnership by marrying Aisha and I, I told them I wasn't up for it. My phone rang startling me and pulling me out of my thoughts. I picked up the receiver and it was Mom. I looked at the time and it was a quarter to seven. I had completely lost track of time. " Dear where are you? The guest are starting to arrive" She asked sounding worried. I rolled my eyes and replied " I'm on my way Mom. I'm just finishing off at the office" I told her and she said to hurry home and ended the call. I really didn't want to go home because I know this dinner party was to publicly announce the partnership between Dramani and Hariri Group of Companies, and also the Marriage between the two families. AISHA'S P.O.V I was waiting excitedly and starring at the entrance as I was expecting to see my love return from the office. I have been in love with Rauf since we were little, I even confessed my feelings to him once. He is a tall 6 ft 3 inches dark skinned guy with pink lips and an amazing sense of humor with the most charming smile to warm the coldest heart. I was ecstatic when my Father told me about the partnership and marriage of Dramani and Hariri Group of companies. "You look really beautiful Angel" Aunt Zara said pulling me out of my thoughts. "Thank you Aunty and so do you" I said and she smiled. Aunt Zara was Rauf's Mother. She is in her early 50s but look like a 30 year old. She really had class and the Aura around her screamed power and I wanted to be just like her. "Come let's sit down, the Dinner party is about to start" She said and guided us to our table.
