ISHQ SUFIYANA- a desi love journey

Chapter 3 - zemblanity

Hadeed's POV

The next day i went straight to my dads house after office. He seemed better and thankfully i got some alone time with him without his wife. No wonder why are they all pressurizing me for marriage these days.
I didnt believe in marriage or even in love. The way my father remarried 25 days after the death of my mother so that the newborn me could have a mother to look after me ....but in fact i have never felt the mothers love. Stil.....

"Hadeed! Are you even listening to me? I am telling you about my childhood friend Usman Pasha."
"Yeah daddy i am."
"I really loved Usman he was my dearest and closest friend from middle school till collge. He was like brother in arms to me. I recently met him and his daughters and i am impressed by those girls. I really want to marry his older daughter. I think she will be a perfect match for you."
"But dad..." I tried to protest.
"No ifs and no buts" he said with a serious voice. I am tired of you rejecting girls. You have turned 25 now, established a buisness and you are highly successful. Ita high time you marry someone and get settled in my life.
Dad i will get married but not right now i tried to get away from this topic.
Exactly he replied when you are going to get married then why not with Ayzel Usman. She is amazing and i am sure you will lead a happy, content life with her.
But dad why are you insisting me greatly to get married. I mean look at me, i am perfect and succesful. Why should i get married? What am i missing in life?

Life!" He replied. I looked at him in shock " beta you are missing onto wonders and beauty of life.what you are leading isny called life. Look at yourself, you seem more like a robot than a human. Getting up at 7, running till 8 breakfast exactly at 8:30 and reaching office exactlg at 9. You seem like a robot who works accoring to the needles of clock. I burst into laughter the way he mimicked me.

Exactly then my step mom entered the room with tea trolley. She handed me the cup of tea and sat down on sofa infront of me and said, " This is the last time we are giving you the authority to choose the girl, if you are interested in somebody else inform us now. But if you reject this proposal we wont ask you again and will fix your propsal with my niece.

I am not interested in arrange marriage" I asserted.
" You are not even interested in love marriage. So think wisely before rejecting, we need valid excuse.

And get ready tomorrow evening we will visit the Usman Pasha's house for your proposal."

Ayzel's POV

" Get up and dance, take a swing do your thing its worth taking a chance, lets get crazyyy...........
And someone pulled out my airpod i turned back and saw my mom looking at me annoyed.
What? I asked innocently taking my airpod back.
What are you doing? She questioned. My favourite thing baking while vibing onto my favourite song. Look i just made cinnamon rolls but i am tired now so tomorrow i will prepare the  cinnamon roll glaze and bake them.
I explained to her.
And we can share them with daddy's friend. I heard Mr Mustafa is coming tomorrow.
I added on a little piece of information while cleaning up the mess i have created.
I looked back at her but she was sitting at kitchen island and seemed in deep thought. Mom i called out. What are you thinking?

Ayzel, actually i have something so tell you. She said bitting her lip being confused as if not knowing where to start.
What? I asked concerned. I went up to her and stood behind the chair next to hers.
Ayzel you know your daddy's friend is coming over tomorrow. She continued. But they are actually coming here for a. Reason. Mustafa bhai would like you to become his daughter in law. She spoke nervously.
WHAT??? I shouted. Me their daughter in law. As far as i remeber they were coming here to meet his friend not for a proposal. And don't tell me you and dad agreed.

She replied in a low voice " we did actually"
Why? I asked.
" Because she you should get married now. All your friends are married and one even has a baby. Besides you are grown up and about to finish university."
Baby? Thats the whole issue baby. Mom you know....but still? 
Comeone Ayzel you have to get married one day besides hadeed is the best propsal for you and
I dont want to get married i interrupted. And thats all. I threw my baking glove and apron on the kitchen island and almost ran out of the kitchen.
What about your cinnamon rolls? She asked in a really high tone.
I came back to the kitchen door and replied angrily " i saw baking them for my daddy's friend not my future father in law!"

My parents will never understand what i am going through.
