Marriage Arranged

Chapter-|5|

When they reached back Zaarah was still unconscious so Faisal again picked her up and entered from the main door.

Shadan and Haadiya also come behind them. Faisal didn't even look around to know who was watching them or not. He directly went towards his portion then to his room.

Adeeba who was cleaning the mess made by Adiya, saw them. She called Aneesa who was sitting there as well. While Haadiya who ran towards Faiz's portion called her mother, badi ammi and Faiz's mother as well. They all witness Faisal taking Zaarah towards his portion. Along with Huda and Hasnain when he passed through them.

Faisal take Zaarah to his room and ask Shadan to check her.
[Reminder-Shadan is a doctor in mumbai he travel regularly]

When he come out he found all family member standing there with worry and few with some unknown emotions.

Zahira- Kya hua beta?

Faisal- preshan hone wali baat nahi hai.. yaha kuch ladke hai prankster unhone dara diya dono ko.. thodi chot aayi hai Saddu check krlega..

Zahira- maine bola tha iss ladki se ki akele bahar na jaye.. aajane de Faiz ko magar ye sunti kaha hai..

Masoomah- bhabhi pareshan nahi hoye.. bacchiyan thik hai..

Just then Shadan come out.

Shadan- Ghabrane wali baat nahi hai bs choti si chot hai maine bandage laga diya hai.. dehydration ki wajah se behosh ho gayi hogi.. thodi der me hosh aa jaega.. Haadiya tum thik ho?

Haadiya- ji bhai..

Haadiya nodded who was now calm after Shadan confront her about the boys being the prankster when Faisal went to take Zaarah from the scene. They clearly didn't mean any harm they just scare new peoples around.

Aneesa- hum sab neeche chal ke baith te hai.. Zaarah uth jaegi to Haadiya or Samreen use neeche le aayegi..

They all nodded their head and went down in the living area. While Sharmeen and Haadiya went in Faisal's room.

Faisal was still standing outside his room contemplating what to do. Hasnain place a hand around his shoulder.

Hasnain- chalein bhai.. jab bhabhi uth jayegi to neeche a jayegi..

Faisal shrugged his hand and went down followed by laughing Hasnain and Shadan.

Almost everyone were now present in the joint living area waiting for her to wake up so that they can talk about the divorce thing. No one from them said a thing to Faisal yet.

On the other side Zaarah gained her consciousness after few minutes and found herself in an unfamiliar room. She directly sat up on the bed. Haadiya come towards her seeing her awake.

Haadiya- appi aap thik hai na abb?

Zaarah- are mai bilkul thik hun.. tu preshan nahi ho.. tujhe kuch hua to nahi?

Haadiya- nahi appi mai thik hun.. bs darr gayi thi..

Haadiya said while hugging Zaarah. She hugged her little kiddo back caressing her back.

Samreen- Zaarah kaise feel kar rahi ho abb tum..

Zaarah- Samreen bhabhi right? Mai thik hu abb..

Samreen- chalein phir neeche chalte hai..

Zaarah-hein kyu?

Samreen- sab tmhra wait kr rhe hai.. Faisal aa gaya hai..

Zaarah- ohh.. okay chaliye..

Zaarah stood up from the bed and they three come down. When they reach the last stair Zaarah notice the actual population of the family and gulped in nervousness. All elders were sitting while the youngsters were standing behind the couches. Her eyes met with a pair of black eyes and she instantly recognize him.

They walk towards everyone and Zaarah thought to lighten the atmosphere.

Zaarah- hey are not you the one who come to get me? Thanks man i owe you..

Zahira- Zaarah..

Zaarah- ji ammi..

Zahura- where are your manners?

She made an Oh face then greet everyone with a sweet smile. Aneesa ask her to sat on the sofa infront of theirs which was vacant. She plopped down on the sofa then Aneesa look at Faisal. He understand her silent command and sat beside Zaarah still keeping the good amount of space between them.

Zaarah turned her head sideways and look at him who was looking at the elders. After a minute realization dawned upon her and she look at her mother with her eyes wide. Zahira just nodded her head with a smile and Zaarah again look at his side profile with a bored look.

Aslam- Ahem.. aap dono ko pata hai hum sab yaha kyu baithe hue hai..

Faisal- ji bade abbu..

Aslam- divorce ka mtlb jaante hai aap dono..

They both stayed silent looking down.

Aslam- mere bhai ki akhri khwahish thi ki wo aap dono ko ek saath dekhe.. or Zaarah aap.. aapke abbu ne nahi kaha tha aapse apni khwahish ke baare me?

Zaarah- to unhone kaha tha ki Nikah ke baad wo thik ho jayege per wo to hume chhodkd chale gaye na..

She said in a small voice as if complaining.

Aslam- per beta aapke abbu or Hanif bachpan ke dost the.. or Faisal kya aapne nahi kaha tha 18 saal pehle ki aapko Zaarah se hi Nikah karna hai?

Faisal's ears turned red and he ducked his head more into his shoulders.

Faisal- bade abbu wo bhut purani baat hai.. bacche the hum jab..

Aslam shake his head at their behaviour.

Aslam- ek reason dijiye hume jo hum is divorce ko approve kare..

Zaarah- uncle he is clearly not intrested.. he didn't even ask if i'm alive or dead.. he didn't even come to see me on the day of our Nikah.. i didn't even know how he looked until now..

Zaarah spoke almost immediately making the youngsters to hold back their laughter. She turned her head towards him glaring at him hard.

Zaarah- In akdu, self obssessed, dheet bande ke liye meri taraf se na hai. A Big NO..

She turned her head to other side folding her hand against her chest, pouting. Even the serious elders smiled at her child like behaviour.

Aslam- Faisal kuch kehna hai aapko apne defence me?

Faisal- bade abbu mai Zaarah se akele me kuch baat krna chahta hun..
