Picking Up The Pieces

17

---Ruhani's POV---

I can't believe that he didn't figure out that I was talking about him. I spent the dinner time trying to get him to guess.

I told mom everything that happen. She told me that she approves of the relationship.

My mom called and talked to Danish's parents who were excited to hear the news.

The only person that didn't know yet was Danish. We were gonna have to change that soon.

---Danish's POV---

"I don't want to get married! I'm not coming back," I said frustrated.

I love Ruhani & my mom out all people should know.

"I have to go. I have work to do," I lied and hung up.

I had to meet her and tell her everything.

I ran out of my house and to my car. I sped to her house and waited for her to open the door.

To a very unpleasant surprise, some guy opened the door.

"Is Ruhani here?" I asked.

"You are?" He asked.

"Her friend," I said.

Looks like I'm stuck in the friendzone.

"Come in,"he said.

"Babe, there is someone here to see you!" He yelled for here.

She came to where we were. I wanted to kill him for calling her babe. She's not yours.

"Hey," she said giving me a hug which I returned.

"I should get going," the guy said & left.

"Who was that?" I asked.

"You weren't listening to anything during dinner, were you?" She asked.

Okay, this is it.

"Ruhani, I love you. I love you so much and I don't want you to be with anyone else. I know that you have forgiven me. I know we can make us work out in the end. I need you in order to be happy," I said.

"Took you long enough," she said.

"You knew?" I asked.

She nodded.

"But why don't you want to marry me?" She asked.

"What? Of course I want to," I said.

"Your mom said that you don't want to get married," she said.

I looked at her confused and she explained that she told her mom who told my parent's.

"Wait," I said and called my mom.

"Hello," mom said.

"Who's the girl?" I asked.

"Someone that you know and love," she said.

"Mom, please tell me," I said.

"Ruhani," she said.

"Looks like I'm getting married," I said and hung up.

I looked over at Ruhani and hugged her.

"So you'll marry me?" She asked.

"Of course," I said giving her a kiss.

"I love you," I said.

"I love you too," she said.

I was finally happy with my life again. I had waited too long too hear her say that.
