Destined Together???

SIBLING'S RIVALRY

Raniya P.O.V

Texting him became my routine but in limit.I spent my entire holidays in visiting my relatives especially my Aunt and their sons.One of them Irfan, was a year elder than me and the other one Razzik, is of my younger brother Ajmal's age.

Irfan is my dear cousin who always treats me dearly.He makes sure to get lots of gifts whenever he returns from abroad.Everyone was astonished when he gave me gifts for the first time when we were so small from his first abroad trip.He is really affectionate and treats me more like his sister rather than his cousin.Very often everyone in our family tease us the way he calls out my pet name."My Raaaniii...",meaning "My Queen".

I did not text Bruhan when I was at my Aunt's place.I hardly had any thought about him when i was with my family.I came home and changed into my comfortable night dress to do my late night revision.I started my revision but soon it was interrupted by the blink in the mobile.Even though its my mom's phone it always stayed near me ever since I started to text him.

B:So u rtrnd?????

I was cautious enough to warn him not to text me since I was going out and the phone was in the safe hands of my mother.So we both did not dare to text each other.

R:Yeahh..jus nw..very tiring..

B:Ohhhkkkk...u go n sleep...vl text in d mrng

I smiled at his really sweet and understanding gesture.But his next reply made confused and made my sleep vanish away.

B:I miss u...coz v havnt texted this whole day..

And I decided not to reply to his text which will further complicate my feelings and the situation.My mind was constantly ringing with his reply which made me sleepless and I was tossing around the bed that entire night.And I'm not sure when I drifted off into the sleep but soon my devil of a younger brother started to scold me without any pause.

"Oiii you buffalo..what happened today you are sleeping till 11'o clock?Should I say like a pig???????" His nagging irritated me to the core and it reached my peak when he called me pig.My brother has this habit of always comparing me with that disgusting animal. 

Ewww.... 

"Ma...look at Ajmal..He is always comparing me with that disgusting animal Pig"I complained to my mom after brushing my teeth.I was vigilant enough to brush my teeth in order prevent him from calling me animal names.He laughed evilly at my annoyed face.My mom face palmed and gave her phone to me saying,"Here is Safa...he wants to talk to you."and passed the phone to me.

I immediately started to complain about Ajmal to my elder brother Safa,"Safa...scold Ajmal na..He is always calling me pig and is always teasing me."

"Assalamu alaikum to you too my sister"I was close to tears when I heard his voice.It was always my elder brother who always teased me around the clock.We always fought for the TV remote and he simply smacks my head whenever he passes by.But now he is currently in Chennai pursuing his final year in engineering.Its been three months since he came to our home and I truly miss him.

I replied,"Wa alaikum salaam...how are you?"

"Im good..how is your studies going on??and how is your health..mom said you are not feeling well few days ago...how are you now?"

I sighed and replied,"Alhamdulillah..Im good..you know Mom na..she gets tensed at every small thing.."He laughed and we continued our talk for some more time.

"Where is Ajmal?Pass the phone to him.."

I passed the phone to Ajmal who was sitting beside me and I smirked evilly at him when my darling of an elder brother started to scold him. Ajmal threw me death glares when they were conversing in the phone.When he finished the call he started to throw pillows at me.My mom yelled at us,"Stop fighting you two...sometimes you two are so kiddish..please grow up for my sake"

Ajmal whined,"Mom...Safa was scolding me because of her..He was taking a small Islamic class in the phone that I should give respect to her..."

He was sulking at me but I stuck my tongue at him and continued to grin widely.

My mom started to lecture my lil bro,"Ajmal stop teasing her..She will stay with us for only some more time...Afterwards she will get married and leave us.Then you cannot spend time with your sister even if you want to..."

We both remained silent after hearing my mom's reply.the word,'Marriage' made my mind to think about him.I dont know what made me to think about him but somehow I started to think about him.

I snapped from my thoughts when I heard my mother say,"I should tell Safa's dad to purchase some  jewellery for Raniya for her marriage.."Well...She was talking to herself and Ajmal was nowhere to be seen.

"Mom but Im young and I want to become a doctor.."

She threw me bored look and said,"Study as much as you want after getting married....Bear it in mind Rani that we willl get you married if we receive some good alliance..."

I threw her an exasperated look and said,"My dad and Safa will not disappoint me..In sha Allah I will study medicine and I will definitely inject you with my very own hands.."

Me and my mother laughed together at my funny comeback.We spoke our heart while I was having my breakfast.When my mom left to the kitchen to prepare lunch my mind returned back to the marriage topic.

Somewhere deep in my heart I wanted him to be in my future...maybe be my FUTURE..!!!!!

I was thinking about him and it was as if he heard my voice, his texted beeped in my phone.I smiled and lifted the phone to reply.I slowly walked to my room for some privacy and started to text him.

I never knew him but all of a sudden he became the world to me.

He did not portray any deep feelings towards me but I started to fall for him deeply...

We barely knew each other but I was longing for his company inspite of being in company with my family...

Is this Love????

Or something else..??

I am confused but I decided to live my life this second because there is no guarantee about my future...
