Alina
I kept awake all night and heard Azan of Fajr so I left my bed and started praying.I prayed to Almighty Allah that my coming life shall be better and happier and give me success in here and hereafter.I cried and asked for his will.If marriage was the next written for me than I was ready for it.I was ready for what ever was/is HIS will.

I felt good after praying,took a nap and got up around 10:30 am.Ate breakfast with my family.My father was at home because he was also waiting for guests who had marriage proposal for me.

I was surprised who would like to marry me.I gathered the courage and asked my father,"Baba!who would like to marry me after all I have been through?Have you told my past to them?"

My father replied,"Alina,you are back to normal,this is all what matters! chin up and keep calm."

I said,"Okay baba!".I could not say more than that.I had already made my family to face worse and now I could not spoil their happiness.

My mother added,"Allah SWT says in Quran *We plan and Allah plans and Allah is the best of planners*"

I said,"yes,indeed."

So I was waiting for HIS plans.I was getting desperate to know about my proposal earlier but after what my mother qouted I left all the matter to Allah with a least curiosity of my partner to be and my will to get married.

In the afternoon an aunty came at home.She was a lonely guest accompanied by nobody.She was very well dressed and her hijab and her eye colour was matching which made her look even more attractive.Maybe somebody would have dropped her on the gate and from where she came all alone.She was seated in our guest room.

My mother called me to sit with her while she could see the kitchen and servings.I sat there happily as I was all on HIS plan so calmness was natural.

Aunty started talking.She had a polite voice that reminded me of Mr.Hayat but I jerked my thoughts of him and answered to her questions.It seems she had a questionnaire that I had to fill:

Question # 1: So what do you do Alina?

Answer: I did study but left due to some reasons and now I do nothing particularly.(Atleast she knew my name :D)

Question # 2: Oh so how you spend your time?you might feel bored

Answer: I had some assignments to do.I read Quran and Salah and spend time with my family.We were off to a trip these days so I dont get bore mostly.(Assignments by Mr.Hayat)

Question # 3. Do you have fights with your sisters?

Answer:We used to have some when we were children but never since we grew up.

Question # 4. Do you like cooking?

Answer: No,I never did.(I never even thought of doing)

Question # 5.Can you show me your room?

Answer:Yes (Oh my God what this aunty is upto)

I took her to my room where she said,"actually my son is a psychologist and he has some concerns.He wanted to ask me these questions you know.She smiled a teethy smile and I was half dead on her twinkling white teeth which I came to know later,were artificial.

Question # 6: "Do you like psychology as subject?"

Answer:" I dont think so" (treating people like me,how could I like this?)

Question # 7: "You are too young.Do you want to get married?"

Answer:"If Allah wants me to then I am ready."

She smiled.Her eyes twinkled.She said,"our relegion says that girls and boys should get marry early so sins could be avoided but we now dont understand this"

I smiled back to her.Yet another question was waiting for me

Question # 8:Do you want to marry my son? He is 35 years old and he is quite elder than you.I have asked him to marry many times before but now he has responded.

Answer:" If Allah wants me to marry him then I can surely marry him."

I took her back to guest room and my mother started servings so I left her there and came back to my room.I had lot to thonk which I could not do with that lady around me.She had such a sparkling personality one could not look into her magical eyes.

I was thinking about her questions.I was least curious about the man of 35 who was a psychologist.My sister came to me and said,"Aunty is gone." I breathed with a sigh of relief.
*No girl likes this rishta pakka moment*
*No girl likes to be inquired like this*

I later thought:
But aunty was quite nice over all.She asked each question with a positivity and politeness but I did not like because it was first time for me to be a situation like this.

The day went tiring and at dinner table my family gathered again.My father asked me about meeting with aunty and I told him it went well.He was happy and asked me,"So you are ready to get married to Mr.Hayat?"
I could not believe my ears,I said,"Did you just said Mr.Hayat?"
My father smiled and noticed a blink of happiness in my eyes.

Yes Allah is the best of planners!!
