Abyss

Engagement

Evening came with a bit chilly breeze blowing in the outskirts of England each and every member of the Khan family was present at the Khan family farmhouse. She was being dolled up like a girl who is just about to get married She was wearing an ankle length bloody red maxy her jet black hairs were bunched up into a beautiful bun with jasmine adoring it and her few strands were dangling down from her both side of face.

She was looking like an epitome of beauty her makeup was done minimally she was wearing a diamond set that was indeed a combination that was putting more beauty into her flawless skin.

She was standing in front of the mirror observing herself her features thinking about her life that had taken a sudden change. She didn't know why she had said yes to this alliance without giving it a second thought.

Her whole family was over the moon specially her so called mother except mirha who was mad at her step sister for accepting the proposal without thinking about the consequences. She knows that her sister was simple and innocent but didn't know that she could do anything for their parents whom were just using her in their plan to get successful and rich.

She was deeply engrossed in her thoughts when she didn't hear the door knocking and comes in her mother wearing silver color sleeveless sari with shiny diamond earrings dangling from her ear along with exquisite diamond set that was enhancing her beauty more.

' You ready'? Her mother asked looking at her from head to toe.

'Um y yes' she said in quite tone.

Not bad beautition did a great job making you worth beautiful for the man you are going to get married her mother said with mocking smirk on her face.

'Anyways you should be greatful that he is willing to marry a lady like you who had nothing but persuing the degree of music and arts nothing more.'

Mom why are you saying that I have done all I could to make you guys happy yet.. she stopped reluctantly looking at her mother who was now watching herself in the mirror not paying heed to her daughter's words.

Enough young lady I'll be going now come down with your sister saying that Sanya khan left the room.

She sighed deeply and adjused her flowery over the head it looks like today was her marriage day not an engagement day.

She was still setting up herself when she heard a feminine voice but this time it was not her so called mother it was her step sister mirha who was looking at her from the entrance of the room.

' You still wanna marry him' came her sister questioning voice.

' You still wanna marry him' asked my sister looking at me with her observing eyes.

I don't know what to say I don't have answer to her question but the question is there ' Do I really want to marry him' the person whom I have never seen before not even once.There was so many thoughts running on my mind and for some reason I don't have answers for them.

' I I don't know aa aapi ' I responded to her question while stuttering a bit.

What do you mean nooray you don't know? It's just the simple question say yes or no came mirha aapi voice bit annoyed.

I I I'm just respecting my parents decision I said looking down as if the shiny marbles under my feet is the most interesting thing right now.

Seriously nooray you would sacrifice yourself for the sake of your parents huh not even asking them about the man you will be married to? Another question came my way which I wasn't expecting.
