Ashar Ali, son o...
I was talking to my mind about whether I should really open the gift or not. It's like my brain is saying no but my heart is saying yes. Should I open the gift? I would be rude if he asked about opening the gift and I respond to him by saying so.
I grabbed the gift from the top of my study table and plopped down on my bed. I crossed my legs and got comfortable on the bed. I took the gift and put it on my lap. slowly I started to open the gift. As the full wrapper was of the gift, my whole body was in shock.
No fudging way! There has to be some sort of mistakes. He wouldn't get me that. Would he?
It was an Apache Dolphins sweethearts snow globe. It was so adorable. He is so sweet. Aww!

What are you saying Fareesa?! No, he is not sweet. He is arrogant and cocky. He is always grumpy. Never smiles. Always smirks.
I put the snow globe on the top of my table. I smiled before exiting my room. I hopped down the stairs and entered the kitchen. Suddenly they talking stopped due to me entering the kitchen. I gave them a confused look.
"Why the sudden quietness?" I asked, grabbing an apple from the fruit basket
"honey, why don't you sit down" mom patted the seat next to me
"Okay?" I sat down next to her
"Two proposals came. They asked you hand in marriage" mom stated
"WHAT!?" I jumped up
"Sit down and quiet down" mom scold "I haven't said anything to them because I want you to think about it before you give any choice and don't even think about any excuse."
"But mom-"
"No buts" mom cut me off "you are going to think over the night. Take your time. don't freak out."
"Can I at least know who they are?" I asked
"The first proposal came from Asher as you already know. I don't know what happened between you two but he is a wonderful boy. The second proposal came from Zaid," she answered
"You mean our Zaid? Zaid?" My eyes widened
"Yes. and he is also a wonderful boy. He has a doctor so I suggest you think about it carefully" she rolled her eyes
"But mom" I whined, "I think of Zaid as a brother for goodness sake. nothing else. How am I suppose to marry a guy who I think as my brother? Gosh! Ewwww. How can he even think of that? I really need a word with him!" I said horrified.
"You said the same thing about Asher" Bhabhi pointed out."But you didn't overreact this much to him. I already know who it is." She said with a smirk making me roll my eyes at her.
I gave bhabhi the mean look, "well that's because I do think of him a brother as well. I think bother of them as brother and nothing else."
Lie! You've been gawking at him whenever he is around. My subconscious smirked at me.
My subconscious is a big fat liar sometimes because I never gawk at him. Right?
"Calm down. Take a long deep breath" mom suggested.
"Fine. I will think about it" I finally said, getting off the chair.
"Allhumdulliah. where are you going?" she asked
"I have to go over to Sarah's house. Karen and I are meeting up over at Sarah's house" I replied.
"Be back before supper" she commanded
"Yes, mother. I will see you later" I kissed her cheek
I said goodbye to bhabhi before exiting the house. I got in my car and drove to Sarah's house. I waited outside of her house and honked my horn.
This girl takes forever to get ready. What is she doing? Finally, she walked out the house and opened the passenger's seat. I exited the garage as she put her seat belt on.
She turned toward me, "what is going on? you are awfully quiet."
"I got two news that I don't want to hear," I stated
"That doesn't sound good," she said
"And you won't believe who is involve in it," I sigh before turning in Karen's neighborhood.
"Who?"
"First let's get Karen and then I will tell everything," I said
"Hey, girl!" Karen smiled getting in the car
"Whats up?"
"Nothing much. you guys?"
"Ms. Goodie has something to tell us," Sarah smirked
"I am not Ms. Goodie. Where do you want to go?" I asked
"Anywhere"
"How about the ice cream shop. We can sit there and talk," I suggested
"Sure," she shrugged
"Well, we are here. Now get the hell out of my car," I teased
"Jeez, love you too"
We entered the store and ordered ice cream. We took a seat nearby the window.
"Spill it" Sarah demanded
"Two proposals came," I said
"What!? When?"
"I just found out today. And you won't believe who they are from," I sigh
"Who?"
"One from our ex-professor Asher and the other one is from Zaid," I answered
"Holy cow! Wtf!" Sarah said out loud
"Shut up Sarah. you're so loud!" explained Karen, "when did this happen?"
"The other day my parent invited Asher bahi's family to our house. Apparently, they are an old family friend. and our chairman is the father of Asher bhai," I explained
"And then?"
"Bhai spoke to me and told me that Asher asked my hand n marriage and then I heard from mom that Zaid also asked my hand in marriage," I finished with a deep breath
"Man, this is like on of those Indian TV series. The girl gets asked by two guys and then one guy marries the girl and the other one gets heart broke. Oh, my god! what if your life is like that?!" Sarah exaggerated
"Shut up before I make you shut up. That is TV series and this is reality" I stated
"Okay! Okay! but don't tell me I warned you," she surrenders her hand
"What are you talking about?" Karen looked at her
"Dr. Zaid is right behind us and he looks pretty darn happy," Sarah smiled
"What!? I can't see him. I have to get out of here" I cried out
"Too late for that" Karen smirked
"What?!"
"Good evening ladies," his deep voice spoke
Holy mother of naptown!!! I am dead. What am I going to do now?! Ya Allah, help me!!
