Hussyan.
"Bhai!" I looked up from the paper work before looking down again and sigh heavily. I scan the papers and sign it at the bottom before putting on side. I heard footsteps coming toward me, but I didn't pay attention.
"What the hell Maham." I yelled as my laptop get slammed shut. I glared at her, but sigh when she glared back at me hatefully.
"Maham, I am busy right now. Please leave me alone."
"No, I wouldn't leave from here until you answer me why you agreed to marry Aisha? Don't you know what type of girl she is? Bhai they are greedy. Aisha is not interested in you or Arsalan. She only wants your money." She sigh heavily and give me a pleading look. I look away and feel guilty for doing it.
"I know Maham but I had to do it. Arsalan needs someone who he could call his mother. I am doing this for him."
"But Bhai for that you don't have to marry her. Sila is here for Arsalan and you. She will take care of him like his Mother then why are you doing this? He see Sila as his Mom and you know that." She told me seriously. I nodded because I know whatever she is saying is all right. Arsalan see Sila as his Mom, but in my life she will never take Mehwish place.
"I know, but that doesn't mean I should marry Sila for that." I told her what I think. I couldn't marry Sila for two reasons. One, she hate me after whatever I did with her last time. Two I wouldn't be able to give her what she deserves from me.
"Why?" She asked me. I look at her and frowned.
"What you mean by why?" I asked her confused. She sigh and sit on visitor chair on the other side of the desk.
"Why you can't marry her? She love Arsalan and care about you. She knows everything about your past. Then why don't you marry her instead Aisha." She says with a shrugged. I look at her shocked and shake my head.
"No, I couldn't and how could you even think about it?" I shake my head and open another file to re-check it. I couldn't do this to her. I may be angry at her, but that doesn't mean I will take my revenge by marrying her.
"Why not? I mean, what is wrong in this. You know Sila very well, she know you and Arsalan better than anyone. I know Bhai what are you thinking, but think this way, Mom, Dad knows Sila since she become friend with you and they also like her. If you marry her it will be good for everyone."
"No, Maham. It will be wrong. I already agreed to marry Aisha. Mom and Dad are excited."
"But Bhai-"
"Maham please, I am busy. If you don't mind." I motion her toward the door and sigh when she stood up.
"I am leaving now, but please think about Arsalan. Ask him what he want. You are taking a big decision." Maham say before walking out. I sigh heavily and leaned back on my chair before closing my eyes.
She is right. No matter how many times I deny it, but Arsalan decision is more important than mine. Whatever I am doing is only for him. I agreed to marry Aisha but I don't know if Arsalan want her as his mother or not. He only want Sila after Mehwish and I can't do it. I can't marry Sila instead of Aisha. It will hurt everyone, Mom, Dad and our respect. I don't care about Aisha or her family. All I care about my son and my parents and their respect.
------------------
I smile as I step in the house after a long day. I walk inside, closing the door behind me. I leaned on the doorframe of living room and saw Arsalan laughing at Sila try to find him with blindfold on her eyes. I smile when Arsalan touch her hand and back away. I feel a little happy when I saw Sila smiling. After a long time I had seen her smile for someone who was related to me and I tried to use her, break her but she didn't. I did bad with her, but I have to do it. If I didn't do all that then I wouldn't know about the truth that I am still unaware of. Maybe there will be a way that Sila will tell me what happen while I was away that day. But I had to think about it.
