That Is Where My Heart Resides.

14.Sameer

_________________

Constant Despair.

"Sameer?!", Amma called out.

"Amma I really need time,its not that we're visiting my friends or someone who won't notice me,so please a couple of minutes", I exclaimed brushing my hair,running hands through them constantly,caressing them.

We were already getting late and my heart was literally bouncing up and down on the thought of visiting Fareeha aunty's house.It just made the small delicate hairs on my arms erect and I could feel goosebumps all over my body.Adrenaline rushing over every single part in my body,racing my heartbeats.

Applying a strong cologne and just wearing my casual shoes I walked downstairs and found Amma glaring at me.

"What?" I muttered,

"Sameer you just took half an hour and I know all of them must be disappointed of how punctual we are", Amma jeered sarcastically.

"Sorry Amma now lets go,we are already getting late", I called out changing the topic so it made a way for my escape from hearing the constant scolding.

We reached the front porch and rang the bell.I just nearly checked myself out in the mirror beside.
Handsomely awesome.

The sound of steps came closer and then the door burst open,and there she was,confusion spread all over her face but she still looked extremely gorgeous.The way her eyelashes reached down fluttering at a speed similar to a hummingbird made my heart melt like butter on toast.

"Asalamo Alaikum", Ammi greeted and as usual I had to step aside and not even stare her beautiful face.

Following Mahoor we reached and were seated in the guests room,joined by Fareeha aunty and uncle.

We hardly talked about the actual thing,and Mahoor was no where to be seen.I was mostly huffing and was trying to adjust myself to their "elderly" talks.

"So we also have to invite you over Taha's wedding",Amma added.

"Ma Sha Allah,congratulations",uncle and aunty congratulated their smiles growing.

"So who is the girl?", aunty asked surprised.

"Taha was just being so shy and I just don't know what to do,so we just miraculously found this girl,named Jannat and I swear she is a daughter everyone dreams of,", Amma exclaimed proudly handing over the invitation card.

"Is her name Jannat Mahmood?", aunty suddenly blurted.

"How do you know?", Amma suddenly asked getting surprised.

"Its that Mahoor has a similar friend named Jannat,so I guessed it to be her", aunty replied searching for Mahoor.

"Thats so great,we'll arrange both weddings on the same day,and it would be definitely perfect,Ma Sha Allah", Amma commanded lightening up with shiness,a big curve lifting her crimson shade lips.

And then Mahoor gasped our hearts by her entrance,she was something like an art piece,which seemed beautiful from every angle,nothing of her seemed to be wrong or not perfect,maybe she was unfamiliar with it.Her caramel hair were covered on with the soft dupatta she hovered on her head.It never happened so that I ever noticed that how short and bony her nose was,cutee.Shining with shyness her dark brown eyes became even wider,it was so deep brown that a person could see forever in her eyes,they were almost never ending,making me drown in them.Her lips were colored in light pink gloss and her chubby cheeks just burned like fire when I shot her look,but she had a firm grip on the tray she was holding.

Giving tea to everyone including me she walked and plopped down on the seat beside her mother and they both whispered like typical Saass Bahu of which I found Mahoor acting in a cute way and a soft chuckle left my mouth.

"Should I take it as a yes?", Amma blurted while all of them were engrossed in some serious talk.She was currently fascinated by impatience,of what I observed.

Why can't Amma just wait for their reply?

And then uncle just urged Mahoor to have a talk outside,which seemed quite awkward while aunty just passed a short smile hanging on her lips,which was more of a forced one,I imagined how embarrassed Mahoor was making them.

And then both of them entered Mahoor looking rather flushed.

"Is it a yes?", Amma once again asked and I just felt like digging a hole in the ground and burying myself in it for a moment.

Before Mahoor could open her mouth for an answer the door slammed open and then three unknown people followed in.I guess they were their relatives but they narrowed eyes on us as if we just yelled at them for something even though we didn't even know them.

Mahoor suddenly seemed like she was about to fall,her eyes wide open,her eyes bulged out for a minute and her mouth opened large enough that I guess she would've swallowed like a blue whale and then I just ran and grabbed her before she could fall to the ground.Others surrounded her calling her name loudly but she had already fainted.

She was so light and soft.I could feel her breaths rising up and down slowly,and with that I just gently placed her on her bed.And walked out and made my way towards the guests room.

Everyone was fighting dreadfully.And then I just realised who the three people were.Her phuppo and her cousins,examining the situation to which she fainted,I estimated that she wasn't willing to marry him,or either wasn't aware of this happening.And who would want to marry his Phuppo's son?

I silently took place on the sofa beside Amma and kept my mouth shut.My heart just felt the uneasiness and was aching just to escape from all this.

Their Phuppo said how she had informed Mahoor about the engagement and was busy in selecting the perfect ring.

Suddenly Amma just stood up,excusing she motioned me to walk outside and didn't even listen to aunty Fareeha calling her.

Constantly we walked outside and collided with Mahoor standing outside who seemed upset and desolate by all this overwhelming situation.

"Aunty I really-", she was cut of by Amma and seeing her hurt like the knife kept going in and out made me just give her a hug.
I really felt sorry for her and just couldn't do anything.

"Mahoor beta,I'm sorry and I know its not your fault,don't think that I'm angry at you or something,because now everything is in the hands of Allah,Allah Hafiz (take care)", Amma replied with a big sigh and then we walked home.

On reaching home I felt like losing all hope for her to be mine.Oh Allah why can't she be mine,don't you think I deserve her,I'll even die for her.

After all this Amma didn't even talk to me once and kept herself busy with household chores.
