Have Faith In God

Chapter 5

Adil's P.O.V

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Adil! Come downstairs please"

I hear my mom yelling, for me to go downstairs. Oh God, what is it now? She probably wants to show me a picture of another girl she wants me to marry. I am so done with this whole marriage process! I never said I wanted to get married, but my mom just came out of nowhere and starting bride hunting for me.

"Yes mom? What is it now?" I ask.

"Adil, I have been waiting too long for an answer! Is it a yes or a no?"

"To what?" I ask.

"Stop acting like you don't know what I'm talking about! Are you going to marry Maleeha or not?"

"Mom! I can't just decide like this, you need to let me think this out!" I said. How can she expect me to have an answer just like that?

"You've had a lot of time, and I'm giving you one last day. Think about and tell me." She said sternly.

Do I want to marry Maleeha? Of course not! She is not my type. She was so awkward when we met, and I am not interested in her! Oh how I wish my dad was still here. He passed away 3 years ago, and since then I have no one to guide me. If he was here he would understand me, and I wouldn't be in this situation now.

My mom loves her. I don't know why, but she really does. I feel like if I say no she'll shun me or something!

I walk by my sister's room and see her doing her homework. I knock on the door "Can I come in?" I ask.

"Sure, I was just finishing up" She said, putting her stuff away.

"Laiba, help me." I say.

"Is this about the marriage thing? If it is then please marry Maleeha baji! She was so nice!" She says excitedly.

"You like her too?" I say "Why?"

"Because, she's just.. cool! Come on, why don't you like her?" She says.

"Well.. I"

"Exactly!" She exclaimed "You don't know! Mabye she was just being nervous, but she'll open up to you! Please get married, I really want a sister!" She said pouting her lips.

"Wow, selfish much! You just want me to marry so it can benefit you!"

"Oh please, you need it! She might make you less miserable!"

"I am not always miserable!" I said. Was I?

"You don't notice it, but you are. Trust me" She says.

I realized I was wasting time arguing with my selfish sister, so I left. That night I did a lot of thinking. Should I marry her? Should I not? I don't want to start a new life so soon, I mean I'm only 25! Marriage is a big responsibilty, and I'm not sure i can do it.

In the morning when I came down for breakfast, my mom was sitting on the table sipping her tea.

"So," She said "Have you made your decision?"

I do not know what happened 3 seconds after that. I don't know what I was thinking but the words "I will marry Maleeha" came out of my mouth.

What have I put myself into?
