His Obsession

Chapter 3(Part I)

It was the day before Rukhsar's wedding. I was busy at home quickly helping Ami prepare lunch before Abbu & Bhai arrived from the office. My phone started ringing I picked it up.

Hello, Assalam-0-aliekum Rukhsar,
How are you???
What! You need me now seriously.
Ok let me ask Ami

I yelled," Ami Rukhsar wants me at her house so can I go?", Ami replied yes busily. I quickly told Rukhsar I will come.
I waited for that to come for lunch so he can drop me off but he called & told me that he is stuck in a meeting. I mentally groaned "Ahh Allah SubanTalah Now what I am gonna do, Think Maharukh Think"
"Awesome' suddenly cried excitedly & quickly called Arooba, one of my closest cousins & asked her to pick me up with Sheriyar Bhai, her older brother. She hastily agreed after blackmailing me into taking her to Rukhsar's wedding tomorrow to which I said yes.

After 15 mins she came & picked me up I said my Salams to Sheriyar Bhai & we talk about my studies on the way as Arooba was busy texting on the phone priorly because studies were her Biggest enemies(note the sarcasm). Sheriyar bhai was also a Doctor, he was further studying to become a Surgeon. We were always close he helped me in my studies whenever I needed it & he was the only one after Amir Bhai who knew all about my childish habits including pranking aunties & all. He was also the best friend of Amir Bhai but he always sided with me when we were fighting, we talked but we respected each other & always remain within our boundaries that is why I had to call Arooba today because I would not able to go alone with Sheriyar Bhai in a car as he is a Non- Mehram.

The loud voice of honk brought me back to reality where Arooba was waiting for me outside Rukhsar's house. I flushed feeling embarrassed for zoning out, looking up I caught the amused eyes of Sheriyar bhai watching me, I cursed internally & rushed out of the car. Then I turned back & thanked him for dropping us which he dismissed with a smile. I smiled back & turned but suddenly the feeling of being watched nagged me I looked here & there but found nothing. I quickly went to Arooba when she started shouting for making her wait. Geez...that girl sure knows how to destroy Eardrums.

I met Rukhsar, she was practically glowing in her "mayhu" dress (a bride-to-be who wears a yellow dress before her wedding & stays in her room) her hands covered in beautiful patterns of Henna.
She was worried about the decorations as The Nikkah(Muslim way of the wedding) ceremony was organized in her home Garden. I reassured her that I will check all the preparations when I was about to leave she warned me that some of Haroon's(Rukhsar's fiancé) cousins will be there setting the stage. I nodded & quickly redid my dupatta made a scarf & left. When I entered the garden it was completely transformed, all the Tent was done in beautiful hues of white, black & greys which were artistically used in varied patterns. The theme although dark completely goes with the huge diamond chandeliers hanging on top of the doom-shaped roof. I was completely mesmerized by watching the lights which were cascading shadows on the trees giving a mythical look to the surroundings. A Salam made me turn where I saw Haroon Bhai himself walking towards me I replied to him Smiling, asking him about aunty uncle, while I was talking to him I again felt myself being watched I looked past Haroon Bhai to the stage where various guys were standing in a group watching us, I quickly looked away before catching a glimpse of a familiar figure who was extremely angry by the looks of his clenched jaw. I thought...what is he doing here?
He was the stranger from the mall well I guess he is Haroon bhai's cousin.
I conveyed Rukhsar's message to Haroon Bhai to which he smoothly assured me that everything is set & asked me to tell her not to worry giving me an opening to tease him. I asked him innocently.

Bhai, are you already missing her??

He laughed making me laugh, suddenly an unfamiliar guy around my age came interrupting us, Haroon Bhai introduced him as his cousin, Ashir I said my Salam to him & quickly turned to Haroon Bhai saying I will tell Rukhsar but he asked me to wait as a worker guy came & questioned him about putting flowers. Haroon Bhai went with him leaving me alone with Ashir, we both were looking here & there awkwardly, eventually, Ashir cleared his throat gaining my attention I looked at him avoiding eye contact he started telling me about his major in engineering. I quietly listened then he asked about mine to which I told him I'm becoming a doctor we were easily talking about the earlier awkwardness disappearing. The twitching of my neck made me look towards the stage the guy from the mall looked livid. I dropped my gaze feeling uneasy. Ashir was called by someone he went away excusing himself leaving me alone with that weird feeling.
