It was a pleasant sunny morning. Birds were chirping around the trees. Flowers were blooming in their glory. World looked most peaceful at this hour.
Early mornings have an aura of calmness with them. Almost everyday Hania wakes up at this hour or we can say automatically her eyes open. Within few minutes Hania was there on her prayer mat , ending her prayer by making Duas ( supplications ). She often prayed for a thing which was very unusual. Her words were " oh Allah make my heart strong and keep it away from that love , the love which is cause of heartbreak." After her prayer was done she sat there for sometime thinking about things which she shouldn't.
Then she went to the kitchen and made some coffee. Soon her mother came to the kitchen. She gave her coffee and did a small chit chat and went to her room. She hurriedly picked a dress and got ready.

She often skipped breakfast as she wanted to avoid that conversation with her family

She often skipped breakfast as she wanted to avoid that conversation with her family. Like all parents Hania's parents were also worried about her future. They felt it was right time for her to settle down. Hania's mom tried talking to her but due to turn of events can't get a chance.
When she came downstairs, luckily there was no one there so she took that to her benefit and went quietly. On her way to office there is a house. Hania never forget to have a quick glance of the window at the corner of house. Apparently there is no one standing by the window but the way she looks there feels like there is someone there. A tear rolls down her eyes , she quickly wipes it and drive straight to office.
She completes her routine office work and calls her best friend Saira. Saira and Hania have been friends since school time and with Saira she feels she is free to share everything.
"asalam o alaikum Saira how are you ? "
" walaikum asalam I am fine Alhamdulilah hanu wbt u ?" .
"Saira I am not fine , I am confused I don't know what to do. I have been constantly ignoring mom's questions."
Hania said this all in just one line

" hanu calm down first , this is an important issue. You can't ignore it any more. You have to tell them about it."
" you know I can't tell them about it, it is not that simple. But today I have decided I will have a conversation with mom."
" Hanu one thing I want to tell you is that you have to. get married at a point in your life."
Saira said that with concern in her voice
"Saira I understand and I will try to do something. Now I gotta go. Allah Hafiz."
" take care , Allah Hafiz" came reply from other side and she put phone down.
In evening she had a meeting with a client. Contrary to her expectations meeting lasted bit longer.And as a result she was late for home.
She thought everyone will be asleep and she won't get a chance to talk to her mom. She opened the door of her house and was surprised to see her mom waiting for her in the lounge.
" mom you are awake I thought you would be sleeping, you can sleep now as I have come home."
" Hania dear I need to talk to you abour something very important , go and change first ."
Hania nodded and went.
She quickly changed and had her dinner. After that she went to her mother.
" mom I am here what you wanted to talk about? "
" Hania , me and your dad are very much worried about your future. And we feel its right time for you to think about the next phase of life."
Hania was just attentively listening
" Hania my dear in this journey of life we all need a companion , even the strongest one of us need one too , we are not getting any young now and soon your siblings will also have their own lives then what whill you do ?"
" mom I understand you."
" Hania you know the purest form of companionship is Nikkah (marriage) , it is most sacred relation. And I can't emphasize how much positive change it can bring in one's life if done with a right partner"
Hania simply nodded
" so we are thinking to look purposals for you , if Hania you have someone in your mind do let us know. At the end your happiness matters most to us. "
Hearing the word someone unknowingly brought a smile onto her face
