Life of a housewife

4.2: A ray of sunshine

My ammi told my abba about the convetsation with my aunt. As she told that there was someone at my cousins wedding who saw me there and he liked me at a glance. He wanted to know about me so he made some investigation and finally got to my aunt as his mother also knew my aunt. His mother had asked my aunt about me and my family as they wanted to come to my parents to propose for the marriage.

I was shocked as to how did I got someone who liked me at first sight as I was just rejected some time back. It took some time for me to digest this fact. I was happy as well as nervous. I was afraid that this wouldn't turn out to be a disaster as well, but in my heart I was hopeful about my future. I wanted to see him. I imagined him.

Then came the time of their arrival at our house. I was nervous to go in front of the people again, but my family convinced me as they had come after liking me first. I went with my natural look. When I entered my house I saw a woman and a man(his mom and dad) and him. His name was Hammad. He had wheatish skin and very attractive eyes. When he saw me staring at him he smiled at me. I was flabbergasted and embarassed. His mother called me to sit beside her. I went and sat there shyly. I greeted them and she asked me about my college and stuff. She was a nice lady who was easy to talk to. His father was a jovial person as well. I quite liked his family. Then his mother asked me if I liked her son. I became shy and ducked my head and they started smiling. My family also liked them along with Hammad. My father had even made background check and they were a respectable and nice family.

His mother suggested that they should give the girl and boy some alone time to ask each other anything they want to know. We were sent to the balcony. Hammad was also shy to go alone with me as I saw his ears get red. He composed himself and asked me after sometime whether I liked him or not. I was so shy that I couldn't even lift my head up to answer him. After mustering some courage I answered him YES. I also liked him the first time I saw him. He was visibly happy to hear my answer. He told me when he first saw me at my cousins wedding he was quite attracted to me as I was the simplest one of all. And then he saw me interact me with the elders. He told me that he knew I was a nice girl inside out as I didn't tried to pretend who I was not. He liked how he can literally see my emotion on my face. I was staring blankly at his face listening to him talking about me. I was very attracted to his black whirpool like eyes. His eyes were very expressive and deep. He saw me staring at him again, so he mischieviously came in front of my face and told me that I can have a better view of the face of the person who was going to be mine soon. I got a tingling sensation when he told me that hes going to be mine. (To tell you I have a very bad habit of laughing at serious situations). I thought that the role has somehow reversed. Doesn't usually a boy tells a girl that she is going to be his and here he was telling me that he was going to be mine with such a cute face. Seeing this I laughed out loud.  Hammad was staring at me confusedly as to why I was laughing in this situation. How would I tell him what was going in this head of mine. I tried to become serious and was thinking of how to make the moment less akward.

I tried to think of different ways and when nothing came to mind I gave him my silliest smile ever.(I wanted to dig a hole for myself after this). When he saw my face he burst out laughing and he told me that I am cute even if I don't try to be. And here  I thought did I even tried to be cute.

I made the big decision of my life. To spend my life with Hammad. To start a new journey with him.

(A.N: Now we can hear the wedding bells...ting ding ting ding...
Did you liked Hammad?)
