That Is Where My Heart Resides.

10.Mahoor

             

She was there with the invitation  card in her hands.Masking out my emotions I gladly accepted the invitation and gently took the card.Even though my heart felt like burning it,but I guess it wasn't her fault that she was marrying him,but why should I be furious?Just,because we spent our childhood together doesn't mean that I love him,but this weird feeling send tight knots in my stomach.It eventually made me sad.But I really wasn't crying over him,updating my facebook or instagram with heart broken quotes or neither singing to one of Adeles's song in the bathroom.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I lifted my chin up.My eyes were burning hard and it was too hard to stop the quick flow of tears out of my large orbs.He assured me that everything will be okay,but why was I listening to him.

Suddenly he engulfed me in a hug,was he sane?
Because of my sobs,I was choking on grief and just couldn't think what was going on until his hand brushed with mine.

"Why are you holding out my hand?", I questioned him but his hand's warmth was making me feel comfortable and relaxed.

"So that I could assure you,I'm not the one like you assumed,plus I can't see you hurt,a part of my heart lives with you", he explained,his finger intertwining with mine.

"Stop this nonsense you're never like this", with that I left his hand and felt like everything turned a of a darker shade and the only light was coming from a side,where he stood,a soft smile on his face as usual.I was scared to death,the pounding of my heart kept throbbing in my ears and my heart and brain were diverging me into different options,of which none was acceptable but then I just ran towards him,hugging him tightly while he stroked my hair saying he'll never leave me no matter what circumstances.

I was breathing at a greater speed and perspiration ran down over my body.I could feel an intense pressure when I realised what I just saw,but dreams were just illusion nothing more than that,but did it meant something?

"Why are you crying Mahoor?", Ammi called getting confused as she placed her hand on my shoulder.And she lifted my chin and found my eyes swollen and a running nose.

"Ammi I don't want to...Ammi please...please", I pleaded my sobs growing more louder.

"What Mahoor,what are you talking about?", Ammi questioned,a layer of confusion spread on her delicate face.

"Ammi.....I don't want to..get.married.....to..Omer..
please...", I cried as if the world was going to end and I couldn't stop my tears.My mind was swirling in circles,only one thing just focused on it.I don't want to marry Omer.

"But who said you're going to?", Ammi questioned.

"I know it was going to happen now or later", she mumbled.

"Mahoor,its your marriage,and ofcourse we'll ask for your opinion why are you just getting so scared about it,it's not even happening tomorrow", Ammi just breathed a sigh of relief.

"And I was just going to ask you about this.. but stop acting like a kid", Ammi went on.

"What?"

"There is a guy,I think he is perfect for you", Ammi smiled like a cat.

"Your Baba even said that we have to get you married as soon as we can,we don't know for how long we'll live and its also our responsibility,so you need to understand Mahoor",Ammi explained sadly but it was the truth.

"But who is the guy?", I questioned getting curious than ever.

"He lives next door", Ammi gave a clue instead of giving complete answer.

"Sameer?", I asked.

"Yes,Alhumdulillah,I have talked about this with Ameena and she was too glad on hearing this,what do you think?", she asked almost shyly.

"Ammi I don't know", I suddenly uttered.

"She's waiting for the answer and besides you are old enough to get married,job is not compulsory but you can even do it,I'll talk about it to Ameena.I'm giving you three days,think about it,and remember Mahoor there is no one that will be great for you and I know him well,but its your decision", Ammi almost warned me and it felt like she really needed to me to get married to him.

Should I say yes?

A/N: I almost wrote it in a hurry but I hope you guys liked it?I need shipping names from my jaans,because readers are my everything,so suggest me shipping for either Taha or Mahoor,or Mahoor or Sameer?
What do you guys think should she get married to her?
