Too young to love???

chapter 5

Sara's POV

I woke up and glanced at the window ,the sun was already up and sunlight was coming through it  reflecting directly on my face.I checked the time on the side clock it was 11 a.m. Shit!I quickly got out of bed and went to get ready for the day ahead.After taking a shower and changing into a pair of black jeans and turquoise blue top,i quickly combed my perfectly straight hair,they were still wet but i didn't wanted to use the blow dryer so i tied them in a messy bun and went downstairs.

Soon as i entered the kitchen the atmosphere changed,everybody became a little tensed for some reason and i had a feeling that it had something to do with Mr.Split personality.I greeted everybody and they greeted me back except for one of course.After that nobody said anything.My cell phone beeped,i looked at it to see who had messaged me,it was from Ashar.Be ready,would reach in 15.

One word:Shit!

I completely forgot about that.

 "Um,aunty can i ask you something?",i began.I still had no idea what they thought of me getting married so soon,so i decided to have their opinion first.

"Sure,go ahead",she didn't called me honey like always which meant Mr.Split personality had definitely done something,something bad.What it could be i had no idea about that.

"You see,i am not ready to get married right now,there are so many questions i have and to be honest i don't think,if anyone can answer them.I don't want to be a burden on Ashar and his family and most certainly don't want to take any sort of responsibility on my head which i might not be able to fulfill.So i thought about this whole situation and i have decided that if everybody approves i am ready to get engaged to him but i won't get married atleast till i have completed my education."

She hesitated for a moment then sighed.

"Sara,honey if you have decided then why do you ask?",she looked confused and torned.

"Because i don't know if that would be the right thing to do,i mean do you approve of it? If you do then only i will discuss it with Ashar.Oh and he will be here in around ten minutes",i said glancing at my wrist watch.

"Why is he coming here?",Rehan bhai asked.

"He wants me to meet his aunt and cousins",i replied.I had a feeling that nobody approved of this wedding at all or maybe it was my imagination.Either way it was not good.

"What if he refused to agree to that proposal?",this time Hamza bhai inquired.

"Then i have a list of do's and don'ts,it's a sort of a contract i have made and should he do anything that 's not acceptable by me i'll be at full liberty to walk out of this marriage".I know it sounded queer to think but it was my only option.

"How about you mix and merge both of your proposals?",Hamza bhai suggested.

I thought about it for a moment,"sounds good to me but don't you think it's a bit too much for asking?"

"What rubbish,Sara only you can think that.You are being forced to marry someone you don't want to and you are thinking that negotiating would be bad?",Rehan bhai asked."You do know that you are being exploited right?",going by his looks he looked furious and he most certainly doesn't like Ashar.

"I know but it's not his fault".

"What?Are you serious?That guy is all up for it,he's not being forced to marry you.He's willingly doing it".For the first time i saw Rehan bhai all serious and mad just like his younger brother.

"NO,no that's not...you are wrong.Ashar doesn't wants..."

"Sara,calm down",Hamza bhai implied.It was then i realised that i was holding the table mat tightly.I was angry at how could Rehan bhai say such a thing without even knowing him properly.
