Chapter 14

Flashback

Humera

"Ammi, I have come to the decision." After observing Shahzain and thinking a lot, I had finally come to the conclusion about the proposal.

"Oh?" My mom had this excited look on her face that made me roll my eyes at her. Had I not decided to give this relationship a chance, I would have surely said yes seeing her expression. Ammi never said it but the truth was somehow she has always wanted to see the two of us married.

"I am ready to marry him." As soon as the words came out of my mouth, my mother started jumping like a little kid. I watched my mother pay thanking prayers continuously with a small smile.

"Come on. We will tell everyone." Ammi pulled me with her and the two of us went downstairs. Almost everyone was already there.

"Humera said yes." Ammi exclaimed.

"What?" "Alhamdullilah" Two sets of replies came forward.

"Appi, how could you? What if the guy is not good as you think? I want to meet him before Nikah." Zainab said with furrowed brow in her face.

Her words made me realize that except Rayyan Bhai and Ayesha Bhabhi, no other youngsters knew about the groom.

"Exactly. Humi, how can you agree to marry someone whom you just met? That's absurd." Rehan supported his wife.

"Hey!!" Ayesha Bhabhi's offended reply came. She was glaring at Rehan "What do you mean by absurd? I married Rayyan without even properly meeting him and he is the best husband. There is nothing wrong with marrying someone we have known for short period of time."

I chuckled. Now, Rehan is going to face her wrath for a week straight. That's what happens when you offend pregnant women.

"Bhabhi, I did not mean that. I am sorry." Rehan pleaded at her but she ignored him.

"It's good news. Did you tell them the decision?" Abbu asked to which I shook my head in denial. "Actually Abbu, I was hoping you would call them for dinner and we would announce at that time."

"Of course, bacha. I would do that for you." Abbu patted my head and went to call them.

Later at the evening,

Author's POV

"Shahzain? What are you doing?" Rehan asked. He was confused to see him.

"Mr. Khan called for dinner." Shahzain replied.

Rehan frowned and muttered under his breath. "Haaye, kitne zalim log hai. Kaise bache ke dil tootney ki dawat mein usey hi bulawa diya. (How cruel people are they. They invited the poor kid on the feast of celebrating his broken heart."

"What do you mean by that?" Shahzain questioned him.

Rehan gave him sad look. "I am sorry, bro. She accepted the proposal that came for her. But don't worry I would find a better girl for you."

Shahzain raised his eyebrow and nodded slowly. He decided to let Rehan believe whatever he wanted and give them the surprise later on.

"Sajj to ese rahi ho jese meri begum banney wali ho. (You are getting ready as if you are going to be my wife.)" Shahzain teased when he found Humera sitting on a corner.

Humera glared at him. "Who told you?"

"Rehan." Shahzain said with a grin. "Though I had a doubt when your father called for dinner. By the way, Era, Hoor jaisi lag rahi ho. Mash Allah. (You are looking like an angel.)" Winking at her, Shahzain went to take a seat beside Rayyan.

"So, to everyone who does not know the reason for this dinner. This is for announcing the marriage of our darling Humera." Abdullah Dadajaan said.

"But, Dadajaan, where is the family of the man she is going to marry?" Zoya asked.

"No way!!!" Hamid who understood before other youngsters exclaimed. He looked at Shahzain with wide eyes. "You are too fast. Just a few weeks ago you said you want to impress her and now we get the news of your marriage? You must be really dear to Allah."

"Shahzain is the groom?" Rehan exclaimed. He gave an accusing look to the younger man. "You enjoyed making fool of me, didn't you?" Shahzain shook his head hiding his smile.

"Yay!!! Finally, Shahzain bhai and Humi appi are getting married. My ship has finally sailed." Zoya said with a smile.

"What Shahzain bhai? Call him jeeju." Zoya's mother, Kainat chided to her daughter.

The rest of the dinner went well. Mr. and Mrs. Mir had tears in their eyes when they saw how happy their son was with The Khans and how they all treated him like he was a part of the family. Their hearts ached seeing their son treating the Khans with so much love and respect.

A few months later after the completion of the internship, Humera and Shahzain got tangled in a new relationship with the blessings of Allah.
