Areefs pov

Well ofcourse mama won't let me be unti I go and see my fiancé(hint the sarcasm*) I told Muhammad to escort me as I really didn't want to go with my car and also I didn't want to go alone. It was just after zuhur so we decided to go and get it over with.

Mama gave me the address and we hit the road. We arrived in 20 minutes and we drove into the compound. We parked beside a grey Mercedes and we hopped out of the car.

I was dressed decent tho the both of us decided to wear kaftan and look presentable. Muhammad knocked on the door and it was opened by a lady. She ushered us in and damn this house is dead silent bro.

I love the scent of bakoor it reminded me of mama. We sat down in the sitting room and the woman bought us refreshments. Who should I say is here she asked.

Uhm..... uh...... Areef. Just say Areef I said and she nodded. She left and after some time a guy came in with sweatpants and a shirt he looks sleepy tho. We exchanged pleasantries and we all sat down.

I'm guessing you came to see my sister he said. Yes actually I said and he nodded. Jumai! He called and the lady came out of where I think is the kitchen. Go and call Fanan for me he said. Wow Fanan interesting I thought. Oh ya Faisal she went out a while ago she said and he said something under his breath looking annoyed

Is mum around? He asked. No she went out since morning. She said and he hissed. Wow that's not good I thought. Is Amani around he asked and just before she answered we heard salaam and we all looked. There was a very beautiful lady in an Abaya Masha Allah was all I could say.

Ya Faisal Ina wuni I heard her say and he smiled. Ah Mihran Lafiya kalau(I'm good). I'm guessing Amani is home then he asked. Yes her car is out front she said. Ohk then he said and she walked upstairs.

I'm so sorry Fanan isn't around neither is mum. The only one around is my step sister Amani he said. No no it's ohk I should have called I said.

We should get going then I said and stood up. He escorted us out and I could feel someone's gaze on my but I didn't want to turn. We got into the car and drove out.

So you didn't get to see her Muhammad said driving. I'm glad I didn't see her I said and he looked at me. Seriously I heard him say. Yes now it can leave me curious. And damn it bro that house is dead silent I said.

I know right for a moment I thought there were no living souls on the house he said and we both laughed. So her name is Fanan. Wow Areef and Fanan that sounds weird he said and I chuckled.

I wanted to see the sister tho Amani he said.  Why? your getting married you know right I said and he chuckled. Still I wanted to see if she fine he said. Kai subhanallah I mumbled. I heard that he said. You were supposed to I said and he looked at me and just said I can't with you right now.

He dropped me at home and left. I got into the house and I found mama in the sitting room. I went and sat beside her and she just kept lookin at me. Mama I know I'm handsome you don't have to make it obvious I said and she chuckled.

You look well dressed that's why she said with a smile. Oh yeah I went to see Fanan I said. Ohhh i guess your marrying Fanan then she said surprised hm I knew it she said and she left me confused.

You didn't know who I was gonna marry? I said and she chuckled. No I knew she said and I looked at her. No you did not I said and we bursted out laughing. No like I knew it had to be Fanan not Amani she said.

Huh why tho I said and she looked at me. Fanan is older she said and I made the ohh face. I think I will join Amani with Salim she said deep in thought. Why would you do that I said chuckling. Because I love Amani even tho I haven't seen her in a while since she was a girl hm I doubt if she remembers me I said.

Why won't she I asked. Why are you asking too much please leave me she said. Wow mum you've been pushing me away alot these days but it's ohk I understand I said and she chuckled.

Where is Nal! I asked. Oh she went to Amals place you know she needs some help she said.  Yeah that's true. Is she staying the night there I said and she nodded. Alright then.

Ma! I'm going to my room I said and stood up. You didn't eat she said. I'm not hungry I will eat later in sha Allah I said and she nodded. I headed to my room and closed the door behind me.

So Muhammad is getting married next week and I'm literally getting married next month. I'm still not ohk with this whole marriage thing I will just keep my distance. Thank God I've started working now so she will hardly see me around the house.

I was really glad I didn't see her today I just don't want to see her like at all. Don't get me wrong it's not hate. I know she probably also didn't want this so what's going to happen is we just gonna live in thesame house under the same roof no feelings attached.

I'm so not in for feeling something for someone but we will see how it goes obviously I don't think that's gonna work but she will hardly see me I know that for sure.
