If your love was true.

chapter five

Farwa POV:

"Oh my god!" Anooshey exclaims, i can only imagine the shock on her face. I came back from meeting him yesterday and today's Sunday night, and I'm too tired, but i need to tell anoosha the details.
I'm on call with anooshey, i said no to face time because i just can't look at her.

"TELL ME AGAIN!! YOU SAID ASFANDYAR YOUR FIANCE is the guy that was bothering you at university?" A pause. "AAHAHAHAHAH, OH MYYYYY god. I can't rap my head around this piece of information."
I waited until she finished, so i could tell her more.

"We made a deal....."
I finished telling her everything, till the point where he asked me to drive me home but i called driver. and i hear her cheering me for my baddass move from the speaker of my phone.
I put my phone on speaker and lay down on my bed.

"Are you planning to make me deaf?"

"Farwa, you're soooo good. Well, tell me about him?"

"What do you want to know?"
I say emphasising even though i don't know anything about him.

"Is he like handsome? I mean, i know all the girls swoon over him at university. But is he really lik-"
I cut her off. He is breathtaking.

"He is not that badd...."
I say trailing. I get up and walk to my closet and pull out a pair of night clothes.
she guessed my tone.

"Oh my god. Farwa iftikhar, are you attracted to him?"

"I'm not, but i appreciate beauty, and you know that." I say half-truth. I still hate him, though.

"Okay, you so are. I'm finding out his Instagram and sending you details!!....... OKAY FOUND IT.
I'm going on stalking mode. BIEEEYEE!!!.."

i say bye to the blank screen.

I changed into it and settled into bed. I was applying hand cream when i heard my phone ding. Must be anooshey telling me details.

Unknown: asfandyar- save it. In case you remember a point you want to tell me.

I can hear the teasing tone.
I save his name into 'ullu ka phatta' out of annoyance.

Me: Where did you get my number?

I waited for his reply, and almost after 15 seconds, the reply came.

Ullu ka phatta: That should not concern you.

Me: Then what should concern me, your majesty?

The reply is instant.

Ullu ka phatta: That our parents have changed the date of marriage after six months due to my grandfather health.

I wait until i swallow the piece of information. No, no, no...no..
That can't happen. Why didn't they tell me?

Me: You're lying.

Ullu ka phatta: Why dont you ask anyone in your house? I thought they would've told you.

Me: How are you going to say no to them? Any excuses. We need a big plan.

Ullu ka phatta: About that, i can't say no. It's the matter of my grandfather. My father expects me to take over the textile factories and get along with it.
You're all alone in making excuses.

Why the fuck is he leaving me alone now? This is so wrong.

Me: What do you mean you can't? How am i going to do this alone?

Ullu ka phatta:  Farwa, tell your parents that you can't marry this early. You're too young or something.

Me: You know what? Go.to.hell.

I turn off my phone and drift into heavy sleep.

Author's Pov:

"Baba, try to understand. I don't want to deal with marriage this early." Farwa try to sound calm as much as possible. Farwa knows that convincing her dad is impossible. If he makes an agreement with someone, he wouldn't back off.

"Gurya, i don't want to give you off soon too beta. That's why the rukhsati would happen a year after." I would say Baba is sounding understanding, but he's not.

"Baba, still it's too early. I would still be in university. How will i deal with this?" I try to convince him.

"Beta, uzair and his family will move to saudia. They will come every six months. Asfandyar has an apartment here. You will stay in karachi, complete your studies with him. Isn't it a good idea?" Says baba taking a sip of his tea.
Baba would not listen to another word, so i said what he wanted to hear.

"Jee baba." and walk away.
