"What are you saying?" asked Mehtaab, horrified.

"Mummy, it is so clear, she is asking Saliha's hand for Jamshaid," said Junaid, beaming.

"What?" Mehtaab got up from the couch she was sitting on.

"What happened? It is not something you have heard for the first time. Every girl gets married; my brother wants to get married to Saliha," said Rukhsana, grinning.

"Have you lost your mind? She just turned 14 and your brother is 37," she said, annoyed.

"Mummy, Jamshaid is the perfect boy for Saliha, we are doing it only for her secure future," said Junaid.

"Listen, Junaid, I know you are doing it on behalf of your witch wife, but mark my words, I will never ever let you marry off my granddaughter to your pervert brother-in-law," said Mehtaab, angrily.

"Junaid, your mother is crossing the limits. How could she call my brother a pervert," said Rukhsana, angrily.

"Your brother is indeed a pervert. Why did he go to jail? He tried to molest a young girl last year," said Mehtaab angrily.

"Mummy, this is final, Saliha is going to get married," said Junaid stubbornly.

Saliha was hearing all this standing outside the kitchen. She looked at Junaid and she felt Goosebumps.

She never liked Jamshaid, she felt insecure when he was around. He is the brother of Rukhsana. She does not like the way he looks at her.

She ran towards her room and started crying.

"Mama, I am home," said Sana, aloud.

"Ah, my daughter, my baby is home," said Junaid, while kissing his daughter.

"Daddy, I have completed my 7th grade," she said, happily.

Both Rukhsana and Junaid were flattering their daughter. They started sending her to school after they saw Saliha go. They were totally different people to their own child.

"Grandma, I don't want to get married," she said, crying.

"Oh my child, I won't let that happen," said Mehtaab, sadly.

"Grandma, I want to become a doctor," she said, sadly.

"I know, and you will," Mehtaab said while thinking about something. "Bring my phone," she said.

"Hey, listen, get ready, you are getting married today," said Rukhsana.

She looked at her grandmother horribly.

She has been fighting with her son and daughter-in-law for two months. Her health was now declining.

"No, I will not marry him," she said. It was the first time she had spoken in front of her aunt. She does not know how she got such courage.

"What did you say?" asked Junaid, who had just entered the room. "You spoke in front of your aunt, you bitch," he said and held her hair and pulled it, dragging her with him.

"Come, I will teach you a lesson today," he said, and beat her.

That whole day, he beat her and her grandma was lying on the bed screaming.

"Say yes to the marriage or else you know," said Rukhsana, and she went inside the room.

She was crying.

*************

The day of 'death' has come. She had made up her mind that she would not marry him; she brought rat poison with her.
