Running Out Of Time

Chapter 4(Actual Story)

Ameera's POV
"Yes dad, what's wrong? "I asked. "It's nothing much habibti, I just have some things to tell you and your mom " he replied. "Okay then, lets sit" I said.
When we were all seated comfortably, my dad started "You know we want the best for you, so any decision I and your mom make is for your own good". I nodded, I didn't like the way this conversation was going. I thought to myself.
"I just finished speaking with one of my agents, - " he paused to see my reaction and continued "and he decided that the best thing for us all is to split that is the three of us" he said.
Huh. "What do you mean by splitting? " I asked. "What I am trying to say is that the three of us have to live apart for the mean time till this problem we are in gets solved, then we'll be back together" he said.
"But dad when will this problem you are talking about be solved and what is it about anyways?" I asked.
"I can't tell you what it is about now. If we stay together we are doing so at risk. So this is what is best for all of us" he replied.
"But dad what does this have to do with us. I mean I thought it was office business." I asked. I knew that he was beginning to get frustrated and I was already pissed to.
"I am trying to keep you safe and it's best for you not to know anything for now" he replied.
"Okay so where am I going to stay and what about you guys?" I asked. "You don't have to worry about I and your mom we'll be fine. The main focus is your safety now" he replied.
"So--" I urged. "So what?" he asked. "I mean so where am I going to stay" I said. "Well, my agents and I have decided that you'll be staying with someone who can keep you safe, secure and away from all this" he said.
My heart beat quickened. "And who will that be? " I asked. "Zayn Ahmad" he replied plainly.
Silence.
"Is he only going to keep me safe or what?" I asked. "He is not only going to keep you safe but also marry you" he replied.
My world stopped. "Huh, who? " I asked. Maybe I didn't hear what he said at first. Yes. Exactly I didn't hear him well.
"You of course. You'll get married to him" he replied. WHAT "no I can't get married to him. You both know that I am already engaged to Sa'ad, right?" I asked trying to keep my anger at bay.
"Yes we know alright? We are trying to do what's best for you, keep you safe and he can't do that unless he is married to you". He replied.
"What!!! No please dad you can't do this to me. Mom please do something" I said the tears threatening to spill.
"Habibti Ameera, there is nothing I can do. You have to marry him so you'll be safe" she replied. I looked at them with disbelief.
"Mom, I can't live with someone or get married to someone I don't even know or love, it's not right." I said the tears already spilling down.
"This is not about what is right or wrong now, it's about what is best for you" my dad said.
I shook my head. "No, no, no I can't do this and am not doing it. You can't rule my life for me. I am getting married to Sa'ad and not some Zayn guy or whatever you call his name. I love Sa'ad and I am going to get married to him because it's my life not yours and you can't tell me what to do "I replied already standing up.
I knew my dad was beginning to lose his cool but I couldn't care less." You know what young woman, you'll do as I say. Nobody and I mean nobody questions my authority in this house and this decision is my decision and it is not going to be altered "he replied through gritted teeths also standing up.
" Fine, it's either I leave this house or I get married to Sa'ad "I said before I stormed upstairs.
