Love Is Medicine

CHAPTER 57

HANIA

"Zahra? Are you listening to me?" My Pappa's voice pulled me from my thoughts.

"I don't know where this thing is going...how can you say all this without my consent?" I question, upsetly.

Anvi gave me a look, looking up from her phone.

"I didn't answer him, anything as of now, and the consent part, I'm asking you now! Your decision will be the final one" He stated excitedly.

And i just shook my head disappointed "Does Ammi know about this?" I asked with a hope.

"He asked infront of her, how doesn't she-"

"Pappa things are moving too fast, not as i planned...i just need time for everything!" I sighed, and controlled my tears.

"Okay...but take your time, we are agreed, it doesn't mean it's best... it's your life Hania, and the studies part nobody has a problem with that not even Taheer, Choose wisely Zahra!"

"Accha bye I've some work, take care!" I end the call.

I closed the book, stood up from the study table, and just laid on the bed, and i stared the celling, the tears rolled down unintentionally.

I felt Anvita's hand on my shoulder, "Stop Hanu.. I can't see you like this, please.." she pleaded.

"I can't help Anvi.."

"What happened now?" She ask, sitting at the foot of the bed.

"Taheer's dad..talked to pappa regarding me!" Her eyes widened with shock.

"I swear...when he asked I-i thought he's was just trying.. you know, but i didn't knew that he was so serious that he involved both families.." i sobbed even harder this time.

She hugged me, tried to calm me but nothing is working.

"So...just simply reject him Hanu!" She suggested.

"I've no reason to Anvi...he doesn't even have a quality that i didn't desire of...even about studies, he says he can wait till i complete my post graduation..what reason should I give?" I question back.

She muttered this is so fucked up.

Taheer, my neighbour who is two years older than me, although both of our families aren't related, but we had a bond life one.

They shifted to Hyderabad, few years back, but they used to visit us quite often, and now they shifted back, although me and taheer, doesn't have friendly relation not that close, but we used always respected eachother mutually.

It's all ok, until three weeks back, he sent a message on Instagram, that he wants to marry me, if I was ok.

I immediately called him, and then he confessed, how he has a crush on me, from the school days, he was my senior in school!

He said, the feelings grew stronger when I used to go him, to clear doubts during my board exams.

And later when,i started covering myself, he said, he was madly in love with me.

I mean he wasn't disrespectful, he even apologized for not letting me know this before, as he wasn't interested being in a relationship just like me.

Now he's working in a MNC in Singapore, he just wanted to know about my consent before asking my dad, for a marriage proposal!

But he's dad can't control himself, and asked my parents on a random afternoon.

And here I'm searching for a reason, to get out of this, the non existing reason.
