💌 Chapter - 4 🫀

REHAANA'S POV

"Rehaana ke liye rishta aaya hai ek accha!"

Hearing this I was so shocked that I couldn't even process the thought. "Arey waah ! Kon hai wo khush naseeb" my chachi asked.

"Rehmaan Pathan, Diler Enterprises ke CEO ka bhai."

As soon as mom completed this sentence, I gasped hearing the word diler enterprises, no it can't be I can't marry him, I won't marry him. I"ll never go to that egoistic man's house.ever.

I took a look around everyone's face, they seemed all happy except. Mehrim, I frowned and wondered what happened to her? She some how looked sad.

"Toh beta! Kya khayal hai tumhara?" Asked mom. I gulped down the lump which I was holding.

"Um...ammi...mujhe thoda samay chahiye jawab Dene ke liye" I stuttered out. I was nervous and didn't wanted to act rashly so I said I need time. I stood up and started walking towards my room.

AUTHOR'S POV

After hearing this news every one was happy except 2 people, Mehrim and Rehaana. She walked up to her room while being in deep thoughts, overthinking.

Was one of her flaws, she couldn't help but overthink the situation, she doesn't want to upset her family but she also doesn't want to marry Rehman.

"I'll just go and eat something to calm myself" muttering this to herself she walked downstairs, it was already 2 am. She found some ready to make dumplings and ramen, without wasting any time she started cooking them, cooking and eating brought some kind of peace to her.

It calmed her mind and kept her busy, food was the only thing that kept her going besides her family, as she was draining the ramen water someone else walked inside the kitchen.

It was Mehrim, "Rehaana...can I join you too." She mumbled in a low voice, Rehaana took a glance at her and said "yes why not, I always love your company."

Mehrim climbed the kitchen slab and sat, the way she was acting Rehaana knew something was up.

"Common now don't be so formal. Kya hua ?? Kuch baat hai kya?" Rehaana asked while smiling slightly, "aapko kaise pata?" Rehaana's smile widened she walked closer to Mehrim and held her hands.

"Tumhe 20 saal se jaanti hu, itna to bata hi sakti hu koi baat tujhe pareshan kar ri hai, tum mujhse kuch bhi share kar sakti ho...." Rehaana finished off softly and caressed her hair.

Hearing this Mehrim got some courage to speak her mind, "wo...didi..main...bolna chahti thi ki..." She nervously gulped down the saliva, "aapki...rishte ki baat jis se hori hai..." Hearing this Rehaana paused and said "hmm...aage bolo" "wo...wo... Mera boyfriend hai.

" Mehrim finished this sentence as fast as she could. Rehaana was to shocked after hearing this, a part of herself was relieved hearing this.

Rehaana took a deep breath and turned around to see Mehrim's eyes watering slightly.

"Arey mera baccha! Tu ro kyu Rahi hai ??? Maine daanta thodi hai tujhe??? Kya galat kiya tune? Bas pyaar Kiya hai tune" Rehaana said and smiled. "Aap gussa nahi ho ?" Asked Mehrim while sniffing, Rehaana nodded her head in denial. "Main kyu gussa houngi? Mera shohar thodi hai wo naahi boyfriend. Ye to bas arrange marriage ki baat ho ri thi, accha hua tune mujhe bata diya."

"Sach didi?" Mehrim asked in amusement. "Haan bilkul, sach bataun to main nahi karna chahti thi Rehman se shaadi. Wo to bas ammi khushi khushi bol ri thi aur unka dil nahi dukhana chahti thi main, isliye tab maine kuch react nahi kiya itna."
