Asad pov:
"Asad move ahead, leave the door"
my mom's voice bought me back from my fantasy without a do I turned back and closed the door
"Mumma kahi aur chalte hai"
she already thinks I'm some kind of dumbass can't fill the jar more, first impression didn't helped, atleast I can try to gain my image back if she thinks I'm following her it will bring no good for me
"Bhai I'm hungry let's just eat here"
Zia entered the restaurant without listening to my reason
He will be the one because of whom I'll be dead someday
I slapped my palm to my forehead and just followed him in
He would have been settled by now but no! here he was chatting with the ladies, everytime he sees women he can't resist but how does he even manage to chat with someone he just met, totally can't relate
"I'm really sorry it was by mistake, you know I was in a hurry to run away from my brother if I would have stopped to explain my situation it would have been a mess"
he's explaining himself and why?
"No no it's fine"
the other girl beside ruhi managed to say it with a smile, genuine it seems
"By the way it's Zia and you?"
Here we go again he's going around introducing himself I can't with him
"I'm aiza nice to meet you"
aiza? Nice name unique!
the whole time this was happening mumma and I were already settled on the table beside them as it was only available
"Oh! Aiza and Zia nice"
was he shy? No no Zia is a guy who's never shy but he was scratching behind his head and cheeks were flushed dang! New zia it seems
"Uhmm yea"
aiza forced her smile this time unlike before
"And you"
Zia asked ruhi, and now he's gonna regret
"Myself ruhi"
"Ruhi nice name........wait ruhi? RUHI KHAN?"
Ofcourse he was surprised
"Ye-yes? How do you know?"
This stupid boy doesn't know where what to say while ruhi was maybe teasing aiza? Teasing her with eyes until she saw me
I quickly turned to mumma and tried to come up with a topic but instead of looking at me she was already glaring at Zia
"Zia beta if you are already done chit chatting can you come back and have a seat, I heard someone was dying by hunger"
this statement of mum saved Zia and thankfully made clear that i was not following ruhi and it was coincidence
Relief
Zia came back we ordered our food, by the time our food was served ruhi was already left
"Bhai was she really her?"
"Yes Dumbo, you saw her resume you don't remember?"
can't pick up hints but if asked to pick up girls then he's the most gentleman I've ever seen
"Woah that's why you turned back?" Finally
"Yes and now if you want her to become your bhabhi will you please shut your mouth, don't approach her or aiza ever ok?"
If he keeps doing his shit they will surely run away as ruhi already knows he's my brother
"Bhai aiza? No I can't if I see her again I'm definitely approaching her, you saw she was blushing?"
She was but later she hated herself for that
"Yea she was only if you noticed the later part" which he didn't
He rolled his eyes and was shut good!
"Zia that girl already thinks Asad as some random guy who wants to hit her so please don't you dare to add up the problems he already has"
Zia just nodded to mumma as the food was served at our table
We had our lunch and headed to supermarket bought all the groceries and it was already 7
We spend whole day for shopping? Can't believe
We reached our house and to my surprise everyone was present in the living room just faizan, bhabhi and aunt lubna were not there
With the help of maids we put all the groceries in the kitchen and came back to where everyone was present
"Asad settle down" baba told me
The aura seems serious i settled down to the nearest chair by grandpa
"Asad earlier we spoke about your marriage right"
aah again i already told them I'm looking out for this girl but here we are, aren't they too desperate?
"Yes we did and I even said I love this girl" baba looked at Papa's face
"Yes you did said that, but you know there's my friend with whom we had dark past he has a daughter and I want to change friendship into a family"
My father spoke I was silent I can't speak before him yet he said this, I can't deny at all maybe he has his own reasons but I've to know about those
"What past papa?" And i really asked
"Mohammad was my childhood friend we were close till college until one day your aunt messed up, she liked Mohammad's older brother we proposed the idea of marriage as lubna told us to, but they denied cuz he liked someone else and because of that lubna tried to kill herself by blaming it all on him, I saw her so knew the truth we just played along with her and cut out ties still we were in contact, Mohammad older brother has died many years back and I know Mohammad has a daughter and to clear this beef I want you to marry her"
that was quite deep and dark past but just cuz of aunt i can't marry someone to make up for their mistake
"Papa i know you want to fix it all I feel bad for her and her father they were accused of the sin they didn't even did but it's not my job to make up for aunts mistake"
I was as calm as I could
Mumma came after settling all in kitchen
"Beta ek baar dekh toh le ladki ko" she said
I can't see why should I, if I don't want to marry her then why should I even see her
"Her name is ruhi" grandpa said
"Whatttt? Why didn't you told me this before?" I stood up and shouted
All were confused along faizan and bhabhi who entered the house
"Baba ye wahi ladki hai" Zia said with a loud voice and giggle
"Look it's all fate and destiny first mall, restaurant and now this" mumma hugged me
I was on 9th cloud, my day could not get better it was the bestest day ever for real
"Papa is her name ruhi Khan?" I asked again just to be sure or all the excitement would be in vain
"Haa ruhi mohammad khan she recently graduated and is looking for a hospital to work in if you guys get married we can just place her in QHRS" my father spoke
"Papa iski zarurat hi nahi, she's already in QHRS" Zia can't hide the excitement more
"Yes papa she's the girl I fell for at first glance and so I took her in with heavy pay"
my jaw was hurting by the smile I was wearing the whole time
"So you are ready? Ohk abdullah call him" baba told papa to call someone?
"Why though?"
"Cuz we haven't yet approached them with the plan of marriage now we will let them know" my father spoke as he dialed someone
Were they serious, they didn't even spoke to them and were getting me ready insane
Before I could speak my father showed me a finger to keep shut and put the call on speaker
"Hello"
"Hello"
"Abdullah why are you calling so late is everything fine at home?"
"Yea yea everything is fine, baba is fit I'm stable and everyone is fine"
"Ohk, that's what I was saying we talked today in the restaurant and now you called me must be an emergency"
By the way they talked it seemed they were close and were in contact
"Aah no it's just you said you have to start looking for a partner for ruhi" papa was tensed as he spoke
"Yea I was! you know it's better for a women to get married early I don't want my bachha to sit at home while others speak about her"
"You know I have a son who owns QHRS, I was thinking of taking this friendship ahead and tie their knot?" He literally crossed his finger, papa was looking cute though
The other side person laughed
"You sure this will end on good terms? Lubna is still in the house right? You know I would love to do this but I'm afraid it will cause chaos between your family"
He seemed easy going person and made sense even if aunt was not here later when we get married it will cause trouble
"I can get you, but maybe it will improve our relations and talking about her we can just make the couple live in different house so that they don't clash, we have a outhouse which is big enough to begin a new family"
as my father spoke my heart beat raised, the picture of getting married and starting a new family was tickling me from inside I was smiling like a stupid
"Bhai stop that or the jaw will jump out any time soon" faizan said with a straight face, when did he even settled beside me? I must be busy in my own world
"Sounds good before that I should talk with my daughter and let you know" right her opinion matters the most, but wait what if she denies? Ahh must be nightmare
"Ohk then talk to you later let me know asap bye"
"Bye"
With this they ended their call
"Are you serious?" From no where aunt was standing behind us
"Baba you want that man's niece in this house as a daughter-in-law? No I'm never accepting"
Shes the real pain of Quraishis house I don't know how they even handle her
I kept quiet.
"It's not a time to behave like a child lubna it was his brother who rejected you that's it, it ends right there no need to make it a big issue"
baba tried to explain her calmly
"If Asad gets married to her I swear I'll- i-ill not attend any of the functions" with this she dashed off
The room went silent
"Mumma we had dinner at my house so we'll go ahead to our room" Bhabhi spoke and they both left
We had our dinner and went off
