The half moon is resting in the fronds over the heads. A thin layer of clouds masked the half moon, filling my room with blue light. After a while thick clouds started to blot out the stars. The wind is icy and withering. Soon a downpour started. I really love this type of weather. Whenever it rains and I am at home, I leave behind all the works that I was doing and sit beside my window. It's one of my favourite work to do aside from doing any mischief. I am not that type of girl who acts shy all the time. Like I am shy just not infront of the people I am comfortable with. After enjoying the downpour with a cup of cha (tea), I started feeling drowsy. And with a big yawn I went inside my bed. Do you guys know that I have a really special hidden talent? Well it’s this that whenever my skin feels the bed I doze off. It takes only a few seconds. Cause as a psychology student, I have to attend a lot of classes. And after the classes I have to study a lot. So whenever my skin feels the bed I fall asleep.
Next morning
Right now I am taking my breakfast. It's Jummah Bar (friday) so baba (dad) and bhaia (elder brother) are at home. I am enjoying my tea when dada( grandpa),dadu(grandma), baba and ammu came and took a seat. By the looks on their faces I guessed that something is fishy. And my doubt was clear when dada started "So Fabiha, how is your university going?" I replied "It's going great, dada." politely. "Hm, great." dada said. "So Fabiha, what are your plans for the future?" dadu enquired. My answer was "Well I want to become an independent woman. And build a successful career in the field of psychology." "We are not asking about your career. We are talking about your marriage,ma ." ammu (mom) said. "Well as you guys can see, I am not ready for this. Like my first semester just ended. Let me enjoy a few more semesters please?" I requested calmly. "But I already gave them my words and I can't take them back." baba said. Before I could protest or say a word he again added that "Take your preparations. One day is enough to prepare yourself. They are coming to see you tomorrow at 5pm. Be ready by then. I won't tolerate any but's or no's . And you know that Mr. Fadel is one of my closest client and a good friend of mine. He personally came to me and asked for your hand. I gave him my words that you will marry his son Zayaan Fadel and thats final. No more discussion on this topic." saying this he stood up and went to his room. And like always I couldn't say a single word against him. Like an obedient daughter I agreed on this marriage. Everyone knows that in this family no-one can say a word that is against my father's will. Tears started rolling down my cheeks. I hurriedly wiped them and went to my room. I don't want others to see me crying. I don’t want others to feel like I am weak. I want to be strong and independent woman infront of everyone's eyes. After a few hours of crying, I took my phone dialled my personal therapist. *ring, ring*
On the call
Her: bitch! Why the hell are you calling me this early! You know that I sleep at this time..!(screaming)
Me: (sniffling)
Her: (about to scream louder) wait...what happened to you? Why are you crying, baby??(softly)
Me: baba set my marriage with a friend of his and he's now forcing me.
Her: what!!! How can he do this! At least they should consider your decision. What they are doing is totally haram!!
Me: I know
Her: Do you wanna come over my place? I will support whatever decision you take, you know that right? Your friends are here. We will give you support.
Me: (deep breathe) no. I will agree on this marriage. You know it’s baba. And I can never refuge him.
Her : So You're gonna agree on this?
Me: Yeah.
Before she could say anything I started "Tahmin, bye I gotta go" saying this hung up on her.
