"Rahima Bhabi, Afreen is calling you on stage to click some pictures". Reshma said interrupting Zohra and Rahima.
"I'll see you later khala". Rahima told Zohra getting up.
"Assalamualaikum khala". Reshma conveyed her salam to Zohra.
"Walaikumassalam. I didn't recognise you". Zohra said.
"Afreen's phoopu from Mumbai. I came here with my only son to attend the wedding". Reshma introduced herself confidently.
"Ohh! Nice to meet you". Zohra said.
"Same here. Khala. I'm completely being straight forward here. I hope you don't mind me saying this. I bring my son, Arib's marriage proposal to your grandchild, Hidayah. I saw her yesterday and instantly liked her for my son. Can you please look into it? ". Reshma said her point of view. Zohra was speechless.
"That's thoughtful of you but I'll have to discuss about it with my son and Hidayah too before giving you my consent". Zohra said smilingly.
"That's okay khala. I understand". Reshma said understandingly.
"This is my number. Call me if you want to proceed further". Reshma said extending a card of her mobile number.
"Sure! ". Zohra said taking the card.
"Excuse me, khala". Reshma said leaving the old lady alone.
Zohra didn't think of Hidayah's marriage just yet. She thought she's still a kid. This proposal opened her eyes. It's high time she gets settled down. She's 25 and it's a perfect age for marriage. She made sure to discuss about it with Yahya.

"Ammi, you called me? ". Arib asked his mother.
"Yes. Don't go to talk to Hidayah just yet. It will be a bad impression. She doesn't like men who keeps flirting. If you want to claim her, just do what I say". Reshma warned her son.
"Ok Ammi. I was just going to ask her if she's interested in going on a date with me. But you came to my rescue at the right time". Arib said laughing evilly.
"Going on a date with you? Are you out of your mind? She aint that psycho girlfriends of yours who will hangout with any guy just like that without any shame. I want my daughter-in-law to be a pure soul, free from this modern world and she's perfect to be the one". Reshma said angrily making her son scared of her.
"Ammi I'll do whatever you want. Let's go from here. Chachi jaan must be waiting for you". Arib said disappearing.
"You're of no use Arib. I've to do something". Reshma said fisting her wrist in anger.

"Hey Hidayah! ". Javier greeted Hidayah on spotting her in food counter.
"Hello Sir". Hidayah greeted back and lowered her gaze on seeing Asad beside him. She was still pissed off by him for being weirdly weird these days.
"How come you're here? ". Hidayah enquired further to Javier.
"Kabir is my friend too. You thought only Asad could be friends with him? ". Javier asked acting surprised. Asad stepped on his foot purposely making him hiss in pain.
"Ohh no no. I was asking just casually". Hidayah said quickly.
"You had your lunch?". Javier asked.
"Yes I was waiting for Dadi to get done with her food, excuse me!". Hidayah said and went to Zohra.
