Fated to be

Tahira's POV

By now the wedding preparations are already on full swing,most of my cousins are already here, some of their children running around causing mischief in the house. If not for the culture of Dogara family to come together whenever there's a celebration I'm not sure I'll know most of my cousins, they're at times fun to be with also.

From father's side I've two Aunts and one uncle with my Dad being the last child most of my cousins are already married,then mom has only one sister,her twin,do I give a proper intro...

My Dad's elder brother Unc Zayn has a wife 'Aunt Inaya' and four children,one girl Halima and three boys Ali,Abbas and Aaban,boys are still single but the girl is married to a cousin from her mother's side, Rayman,she did since she was nineteen, that's what Dad wanted to do with me at first, well good for her she expecting her third bundle of joy after her first twin Mahir and Mahira..

His sisters are a twin just like my mom,the first,Aunt Nafeesah who's married to her husband Unc Imran has three children,two girls Rayana, Zulaiha and a boy Aadil.
Rayana is already married to the LOHL Umar with a son Imran who she named after her father.
The second, Aunt Safeenah just a twin boy and girl, Deen and Deena who are both not married yet.

My momma's sister Aunt Manal has her twin boy and girl Khalid and Khadijah just like me, I never said my name's Khadijat now did I, well it is I'm Khadija-ah-Tahira, Khalid is married to Khalisha with a daughter Juweriya who we call juju cause of the lengthiness of her name Khadija is married also to the LOHL Akram with twin girls Manal and Aiman named after my mom and hers.

Phew that was pretty long,I'm sure by now you know there are lots of twin from both sides,I pray to have mine.
Almost all the girls come here almost everyday with their kids after work, today Khadijah and kids, Halima and kids, Khalisha and kids, Deen and Deena are here and you know no matter how unfamiliar you are with family they're fun when united.

"Aren't you all bored of sitting here on phones, shouldn't we do something fun umm".

"Don't disturb sit quietly"Deen answers his twin and oh my he shouldn't have.

"Oh please why are you even here,do you realize you're the only boy here,why did I even bring you here",if looks could kill she'll be a thousand feets under.

She raises both hands in mock surrender "if you want I can count Mahir with you" she says trying to stifle a laugh and fails miserably,and then we decided to do water balloon fights, silly us right, but that's the only feasible option with the kid here.

In some we already took our positions after clearing out the main livingroom and setting barriers to hide behind all over the place we chose that cause it's spacious much and since my parents are both out and I already dismissed all workers to their quarters,they might just spoil the fun.

Deena stands at the middle"Okay so we start at the count of.."she gets interrupted with a splash on her face by Deen.

"What the fuck did you just..."

She gets interrupted again with another splash this time by Khalisha this time saying "no cursing in front of the kids".

She attempts to throw back but missed hitting Khadijah which brought the game on, some minutes into it we're already wet,so wet.

Ya Khalid innocently came to take his wife and got involved in the war,we only stopped as Mahir almost choked after mistakenly swallowing water.

They all left and I called back the workers to clean up the place going up to get dried.

I heard ringing and picked up my phone with the other hand hold my towel and it turned out to be Khalif. Wow someone remembered me today.

"Hey hey how you you doing".

"Wow I almost cannot remember the last time we talked".

"C'mon Hira stop exaggerating we literally talked just last week" I'm sure he rolled his eyes.

"Oh did we, how come I don't remember ".

"Probably old age"

"Like fucking seriously "

"Ah sure"

"Just say what you want to say"

"Ah you have vex now now like that, okay I quit it I just heard that you were getting married and I was like..whaaaaaah...
How in the world would you get married without telling me like not possible,besides I haven't spined my shot yet". Why so fast. You'll be surprised to know he said all these in one breath. Typical Khalif.

"Like really, seriously how old are you even what do you want to go and be doing". If only...if only my parents viewed it this way.

"Do you really think so or you're just jealous I'm getting married before you ".

"Awh don't poke my sour spot I was just asking a question".

"I'm almost a married woman now so you kind of questions should change along with my status".

"Omoh.. you're so into it gurrrrrl.....

We talk talked for quite a while more mostly with him being all nosy about the whole weding stuff but though, don't blame him with the kind of person I am it's impossible to imagine I would be getting married this soon..

But come to think of it this house is fucking boring. Just because I'm getting married to someone I don't like doesn't mean I have to completely lock down my own self. I'm calling the girls to at least hang out here tomorrow.
If Muhammed can't go to the mountain, the mountain can surely come to Muhammed, I think that is what is going to happen here. I would daddy would not mind because...not like I'm asking him...💁😎
