Showered with Love

-->chapter 2

Time to break the news. Neh... Not now. While having dinner will be better. yeah that would be great. Since everyone will assemble at dining table. Then I called Javed bhai to get dessert. He inquired about having this sweet-wish. But I ranged it out at random things and changed the topic. Not too soon. I am not going to blurt it out.

____________

Well. I think everyone sensed my delighted state. And gave me a curious stare. But I ignored them. Every one has to wait. Soon mom and samiya di prepared dinner.

And I decided to set the table. Javed bhai came home along with Cham Cham. I kept it in refrigerator temporarily.

After I set the table mom called everyone to join us. I didn't said about getting an offer to anyone till now.

Well... Every one gave me curious glances.

Dad, mom shamiya di,javed bhai and even Farina. Ohh Allah... I am really bad in giving surprises.

Before I speak some one out run me.I glanced at that direction. "Care to explain the reason. Obviously you won't ask except with a specific motif. Soo speak up... Moti",javed bhai said. I snapped at him before I knew and said," first of all I am not fat. So stop calling me that". And he replied with sarcasm fill in it, "yes you definitely are. Just look at you". Soon Farina quipped , "Yes..bhai is right. you have to stop eating my chocolates". "See I am not fat as well as lean. I am perfectly fit and normal. Okay? And Farina I don't eat your chocolates. I eat my chocolates which is specifically kept for me and which belong to me as my share". I glared at her. What can I do, I love chocolates. And what I said is correct. Then she remarked with a happy tone, "well... If you stop eating by any strange reason. Then definitely I'll get more share". "That definitely not going to happen ", I  said with same tone as her with a pinch of sarcasm.

After few minutes I to brought up the same conversation. And stated " today I got a job offer. That too from altamush textile company and Co in dubai. As a textile engineer . Initially, it has some training for two months. Then, If they see potential according to their requirements then they are going to make two years contract with me" and finished saying with a complete ear to ear grin plastered on my face.

I think it took Everyone to process the news. Since no one came up with hugs and blessings. But shamiya di is first to get up and hug me. I hugged her back. Then everyone gave me hugs. After hugging back, I sat and   resumed eating.

Then father said, "your wish Airah. If you want to take this opportunity. Then go ahead. However shamiya's marriage will be after 6 months. Then we'll go ahead in search of a groom for you. Obviously it will take time in the search. And if we find early then we can hold off  the marriage for some time. So I think two years won't be much big deal. " Everyone is listening to Him with full attention and nodded once he finished saying it." And she can live up her dream ", mom said. " But you will be living with Hamid in dubai. Am I clear? ". I nod with understanding. Well Hamid bhai is my eldest brother who settled in dubai.

"when you are going their? ", asked Javed bhai." If I take in the job then may be they will send a job visa within 10 days.",I answered. Farina squirmed and hugged while sitting. I am taken aback by her sudden gesture. Then she said in an excited and playful tone, "I don't know to be happy or sad. May be happy. What do you think. Finally I will have my own room. With you and shamiya di gone. What do you think?"
I just nudged in her arm and
Shake my head. I know she loves me.

"So time to call Hamid. And the final decision will be upon him ", said father.
Hearing that my heart started beating fast. Very fast. And I wondered what will be his decision.
