From EX to HUSBAND

Chapter 4; Tragic night 🥀

It was late at night, when I hear strange screams and voices coming from the living room, I got scared and woke up immediately. I run to reach the living room and while I was going down the stairs, I find my whole family, therefore grandparents, uncles, cousins, with all of Aynoor's family. My eye falls on Rayan who was sitting on the sofa very concerned. I reached everyone to find out what had happened, but no one gave an answer, everyone was disappointed and especially Aynoor's mother who was crying.

No one understood the problem until Mom (aynoor's mom) said that the girl who was to marry Rayan, denied to do the marriage at this time in the night she called and said she won't show up tomorrow . Everyone was shocked by the news, I immediately ran to Mom to console her, she was really sick. I was sitting to calm her down when my eye fell on Rayan again, it had been so many years and today when I saw him again after six years, he gave no reaction to everything because in the end he was the one who was losing.

Tomorrow would have been the engagement, no one knew how and what to do, we were all thinking about finding a solution. The situation was very bad, usually we hears that is the guy who doesn't want to get married but in Rayan's case everything always goes wrong, the questions I was asking myself were; why did the girl say no?, Why the family had allowed her ? and if she had to do all this then why was she in relationship with Rayan for so many years? I preferred to take Mom inside to rest a bit, meanwhile Rayan had left the house and no one knew where he was but right now our priority was the health of Aynnor's mother. Somehow, by giving her some medicine she fell asleep and we all returned in the living room to decide what to do.

In consoling, relaxing and reassuring everyone, it was already morning, it was a tragic and painful night, we thought a lot but no one had the slightest idea of ​​how we could fix it because everything was already planned. Aynoor's parents and she herself were sick especially her mother who had almost fainted after hearing the news. Rayan had left the house since last night very furious, now everyone was starting to worry about him too as he wasn't answering to calls or messages so Baba (my father) and some cousins ​​went out to look for him. Anxiety starts to rise when mens start to come to start decorating the house, we couldn't even refuse because otherwise the families would have made a bad impression.

Half the morning passes with stress and anxiety, I don't know why but Baba had told everyone to start getting ready because the guests would be arriving soon. No one was understanding why, but even with concern we all headed to ours rooms to get ready. Meanwhile Rayan had also returned, some family members had only followed him because we were all afraid he would hurt himself, but I don't know why I suspected him, he doesn't give any reactions to anything, he is neither happy nor sad, it seems that he knew that everything was supposed to happen. After a few hours the first guests began to arrive, a small event had been organized for a simple engagement at home. Mama(my mother), she greeted everyone at the door because Mom wasn't well.

Since I was a child I have always called Aynoor's mother Mom and vice versa. The garden slowly fills up with people and at the right moment of the engagement when all the guests were waiting for the bride Baba, he takes the stage, where Rayan hasn't arrived yet and makes an announcement to everyone.
