Zenish

I woke up at morning and offered my prayer first. I sat terrace to view sunrise as it has become my hobby, I was enjoying the cold breezes and incredible view of sunrise in front of me, but then my eyes travelled to my hand on which I could see his fingerprint still there, the whole scene flashed in my mind I tried to wash my hand harder to remove his print on me but I couldn't get away from that

His words, his face, and his action are haunting me in my dreams. No matter how much I tried to make confident face infront of him, but still is every word scared me. I don't know what will happen once I m married to him

Please Allah help me, give me strength to fight back

I silently prayed, I went to my room to sleep, as I haven't sleep but seems like my sleep also betrayed me. I lied down on bed. He said his parent will come after three days, two days are passed today he will come with his parents, its Sunday means no university. I got up and headed to downstairs and saw mama in kitchen preparing tea for papa I guess

"Assalam o Alaiqum mama" She smiled and replied my salam

"What are you doing mama"

"Preparing things for your in laws" She said doing her work

"But mama they would be coming in evening you are preparing so early" I asked

"Yes I know but I m doing work now so that at evening I will do last touch up and I want to do everything perfect, i know the situation is not good but they are your in laws and we will welcome them open heartedly and he told us his parents don't know about the deal. I hope they are not like him" My mama sighed

He is their son what do you expect my mind throw a sarcastic thought

Shut up I don't know so stop judging I scolded myself for judging someone whom I never met

"Okay mom but let me help you" mama nodded and I helped her with breakfast and other things

****************

Shayaan

"Finally my son is getting married, the girl said yes finally. I started to think why my son is handsome when he cant make a girl say yes for marriage by his charm and handsome face" Mom said while hugging me

My mom can be over dramatic at times

"Mom you know I don't take no for an answer, not that any girl can say no to your son" I said

"But she made you wait, I can't wait to meet her and her family" My mom exclaimed like a child

"Patience Fariha we have just landed" My dad said. I hugged him

I watched around, I guess

"He haven't come" I whispered

"Your dad has sent Rayaan on business trip to Australia" My mom said placing her hand on my shoulder. I looked at her

"I haven't asked about him, lets go you guys, you need rest then in evening we are going to meet Zenish and her family" My mom nodded and we headed to home

I don't care who come or who not I was chanting this in my mind

*************

Zenish

"Asslam o Alaiqum" I heard someone greeting. I looked at door, and saw my bestie Anum greeting my parent and then coming towards me

"Walaiqum Assalm, you hear" I asked looking surprised

"Yes I thought giving time to my best friend, as her in laws will be coming in evening" She said looking suspiciously

Something is not right, she is staring me like finding something

"Okay lets go to my room" I said trying my best to sound calmly

We headed to my room , we entered but she locked the room, something is definitely wrong

"What are you doing Anum" I asked

"Just making sure no one hear our conversation"

"What"

"Listen Zee now no one is listening so tell me whats wrong" I looked at her with confusion

"What are saying Anum? I should be asking what wrong with you" I asked

"You can lie to your cousins and Saad but not I know you all my life Zenish please tell me what the problem, I know something is not right" concern and worry was written on her face

"Its nothing like I told you guys nothing is wrong" I said looking away trying best to sound convincing

"Oh really then why are you not happy, your would be in laws are coming today, you should be thrilled nervous and excited and what not Zee, its clear you are not happy" She reasoned

"These words sound familiar, I told you same thing when your khala was coming for your alliance with Zaid, you told me it normal, that means you lied" I tried to divert the topic

"You know that time situation was something else, what the hell why are we even discussing that, Zenish Shah don't try to divert the topic, I m not leaving with out hearing your problem" She said stubbornly

I guess I don't have any other option

"I told you about a weird stranger, who wanted to come in home" She nodded

"Well he was Shayan" As I said

"What" She yelled

"Anum don't yell on my poor ears please" I said looking at her

"Okay sorry continue"

"He figured out my papa took loan, he confronted him and asked him to pay but it was too big amount to pay, he knew that very well, he put the proposal infront of papa. Papa tried to arrange the money but it was too big amount to arrange in four days, so we weren't left with any choice and agreed to his proposition" As I completed and looked at her

She was just looking at me

"Say something Anum, go give some sympathy look and throw some pitiful words" I hated sympathy

"I don't know what to say to you Zee, but I m not giving you sympathy I know my bestie, you are doing something very big, and for that you should be encouraged. I am so proud of you" My bestie give me side hug. I passed a small smile

"Proud for what Anum I m submitting to him, he is getting what he wanted and I cant do anything, I never felt this much helpless in my entire life, papa and mama can't see in my eye because they are guilty, for what happening with me, and you are telling you are proud on me. let him celebrate him his victory after marriage he will regret doing this" I let my anger out. I took deep breath

Anum just hugged me and we heard a knock on door, she opened the door revealing mama

"Zenish, u are not ready they are here" I was shocked, I saw time and saw it was evening

Time flies so quickly with best friend

"aunty give ten minutes we are coming" she nodded and left

"Anum promise me, you wont tell anybody about this, not even Saad, you know he and his anger" she squeezed my hand and nodded

I got ready in blue salwar kameez. I set my veil on my head and with last look we headed downstairs. Mama handed me tray of tea for guest and we headed living room. I saw my tai abba and my uncles there sitting with papa and then I saw him first smirking at me

"Oh my goodness you must be the famous Zenish" A woman of late fifties I guess exclaimed with excitement

"Asslam o Alaiqum" I greeted her, she replied my salam

"Allah! I cant find such a beautiful girl for my son, good job Shayaan" She praised her son

I served tea to everyone and saw a man almost same facial feature which he has but much older than him, assuming him as his father

"Assalm o Alaiqum" I greeted him. He put his hand on my head and replied my salam

Then I served tea to a young man looking almost of his age I think but he doesn't look like Shayaan

Stop it Zee just serve him

Then I served him, my arch enemy with a sarcastic smile on my face, he was kept staring at me not holding the tea. I eyed him to hold it, he forward his hand I give it to him but the cup of tea fall from his hand. I bent catch the cup, and in no time I caught the cup. I looked up to meet his eyes, his green orbs captivating me in him. I saw many emotions in his eyes. I wanted to know what are those but then someone cleared his throat pulling us from staring session, it was then I noticed some amount of tea spilled on my hand

"Ah" I hissed in pain, thought it was small amount but tea was really hot. His eyes travel to my hand but I got up

"Wow Zenish good catch" A guy sitting with him praised me

"Zenish comon sit with your mother in law" His mother said smiling at me, I sat with her. She was a sweet lady, talking to us without giving any arrogant to us, while all male elder were engaged in thier

"If you all don't mind I want Zenish and Shayaan engagement now" the hall fall in dead silence

Engagment? Now?

"But Fariha ji, we are not prepared even, now it will be so soon" mama said I could sense the panic in my parent

"It alright, I have rings for them, and I just want Zenish to be our" His mother chirped

My parents nodded. I was sit beside him, his mother handed us the ring. He slided the ring in my finger and I did the same. Everyone chirped in excitement and blessed us for our bright future

Anum took our picture. She even teased us well, I glared at her but she was also stubborn

"Hey Zenish I m Ahmer, this idiot best friend" I nodded

"You must be thinking how I m his best friend, let just say his good luck and my destiny" I giggled little while he glared at him, he left us alone everyone was talking with each other

"Congratulation now we are officially engaged fiancé" He said. I wasn't looking at him but can surely say he is smirking

"Congratulation to you too, soon you will regret" I said

"What is going on that little of yours?" He asked curiously

"Nothing, just want to ask, are you sure you are not adopted, your parents are sweet not like you...arrogant jerk" I said almost whispering the last part

"You will pay for saying this take it back or" He said

"Or what, what will you do now?" I asked sternly

"Everyone please I want your attention please" He almost shouted, everyone startled and look at us with curiosity

"Yes Shayaan" his mom came closer to us

"Mom I want the marriage to happen in two weeks" As he said I froze in my spot,

I am not ready for heaven sake

"That so soon Shayaan" his mother exclaimed

"Mom dad, everyone I am a busy person. My meeting business trips are pre planned and Zenish will be busy with her studies so I want this marriage to get done in two weeks" He said

"But Shayaan you in London and Zenish in Pakistan how will that work, we have to first do the process so that we cant take her with us" Her mother explained

"Mom you are forgetting I m here in Pakistan for more than two years, dad has given me company to handle here. When I am going to stay here, there is no need to worry and as for as about process, it will be one. If I m clear now I want marriage in two weeks mom" He said in his bossy tone

His mother started to think first but then smile and turned to mama

"Safia ji then its decided we will come after two week to take our daughter in law, if you are alright with this" She asked

Mama looked towards papa and then me

"I can understand what Shayaan said Fariha ji but Zenish is our only daughter, we want her marriage to be memorable for her, two weeks are not enough. How will we arrange everything in this short time" Mama explained calmly

"Oh aunty don't worry about the arrangement we will help you in this. If you are thinking us as arrogant people who wont like this and that then you are mistaken, we will make this marriage memorable together what say aunty" Ahmer said proposing his idea

"Great idea Ahmer, the problem is solved we will do everything together, is it yes now" His mother asked

Mama looked at papa and he nodded. She smiled at his mother.

No no no no this is going to fast I want to shout but the people around me beamed in excitement even my parent are looking relieved

"Next time watch your word soon to be wife" I glared him while he smirked

Soon it was time they were leaving his mother hugged me and blessed me. She was really very excited

"Safia ji only for two weeks my daughter is here with you then we will take her with us." His mother said to mama. I could see the tears in mama's eye

"I m so happy finally my son is getting perfect girl for him" She said and hugged me

They bid us and left

Two weeks from unmarried to married
