Minha Ali
***********

"Main kya chidiya ghar ka bandar lag rhi hu jo woh mujhe dekhne aayenge", I shouted looking at my family.

"Excuse me what did you just say", ammi asked as she entered my room.

I just shake my head and look at the ceiling listening to music, why can't this people leave me alone I close my eyes thinking that. Soon everyone enters my room, like I'm serving some free chocolates.

Suddenly my headphones were snatched by my mother who was glaring at me for behaving like a brat.

"Behave yourself ammu, aur h jis tarah ab tumhara hulia h tum chidiya ghar ki bandariya hi nazar aa rahi ho", she said sternly.

I roll my eyes and huffed in frustration, feeling the annoyance building up inside me." Why can't everyone just leave me alone?" I muttered under my breath.

"Ammu, don't talk back to me", ammi warned, her eyes narrowing. " You need to behave properly, and right now you're acting like a wild monkey in a bird sanctuary".

I couldn't believe she was scolding me like this. I was just trying to relax and listen to some music, but of course, she had to come in and ruin it.

"And ya ammu please get ready they are coming, it's your engagement today", saying that she left my room.

I felt like it was a nuclear attack on me as she said that. How can she say that? I don't want to get engaged or married. Why can't this people understand me?

Ya Allah mujhe sabr de.

As I sat there, tears streaming down my face, I couldn't help but I ask why, why Allah, why is it always me? First, my dadi jaan forced me wear the ring of her choice, and now ammi is saying that today is engagement.

Mishi came over and tried to console me, telling me not to cry. But couldn't help but wonder,"what are you all doing to me?" I wish that Allah would just call me to him.

"Ammu, if your engagement doesn't happen today, they will forcefully marry you to Shabbir. Do you want that?", Mishi asked wiping away my tears.

"No, I don't want to marry him", I said hugging mishi.

I don't want to marry Shabbir. He is a playboy, and i hate playboys, so I have no other choice but to get engaged to the man my mother has chosen for me. Oh god, give me a break from this marriage drama.

"So, trust your family, ammu. They always want what's best for you", Mishi said kissing my forehead.

"But, Mishi I want to complete my studies", I said, as I hiccupped.

"I will talk to Uzair bhai's ammi and tell her that Minha wants to continue her education", she said looking at me. I nod in agreement. Because I have no other choice.

"Okay, I'm ready for the engagement, but can u please, leave? I want to be alone", I said with a sigh.

"Sure", she said caressing my cheek.

"Thank you", I said, smiling slightly.

As i sat and watched her leave my room, I couldn't believe today is engagement, but we have to face the reality and fate, one way or another.

All of this is happening because of my so-called grandmother. I swear, if I had the chance, I would take my grandmother to a place where even water wouldn't be available and kill her their. I thought as I punched my pillow imagining her face.

I threw the pillow and started to think about the man I'm going to be engaged, how he will be, whom mom has chosen for me, I just hope he is not a playboy or a cheater. Allah I'll leave everything in your hands.

"Come on ammu, get ready it's your engagement", I said to myself as I got up from the bed.
