Meant To Be Together.

Chapter 7.

Uzair.

"Are you guys serious about this?" I asked them again. They look at each other and nodded. 

"Yeah. We discuss about this with them and they agreed." Dad says from his seat on the couch. I shake my head not believing them. 

"There must be some confusion. They would never agree to this." I mumble to myself and was about to walk away but stop when I heard her.

"There is no confusion in this Uzair." Ayeza, my sister says. I turned to look at her and shake my head. 

"If they want all this then I have to talk to them." I told them and walk away. I went upstairs to my room and slam the door behind me.

I don't think they would say that. I know them. Maybe Ahmed would suggest that, but Sila and Hussyan would never do that. I have to talk to them as soon as possible and if they did want this then I have to make them understand that I can't do that. 

I couldn't marry Maham. It is not about what happened that day. It is just that I never really see her in that way. She is only a friend to me nothing else and I have to tell them.

"Yes Henry." I say as I press intercom button. I sign my name in the end and put it aside before opening another file. 

"Sir Sila Ma'am is here and she wants to meet you right now." He says making me stop from reading. I sigh and tell him to send her in before going back to my work. 

"Can I come in?" I looked up and force out a small smile and nodded. 

"You don't have to ask." I remind her like I always do whenever she came here. She nodded and sit on the visitor chair. She put her bag on my desk and look down. 

"So, how is Maham doing?" I asked her when she didn't say anything. She looks up with a smile.

"She is doing fine. Hussyan is eyeing her every move and make sure that she stays safe." She told me. I nodded and continue my work because I know what she want to talk about and I am waiting for her to start the conversation. 

"Did you talk to your parents?" I nodded and continue to look down to show her that I am doing my work when in real I am thinking how to tell her that I couldn't do it.

"Yeah, they told me how you guys are thinking of mayhem and me marrying." I told her and get straight on point.

"Sila I know you won't like it, but I can't do it. I am sorry. It is not that what happen, it is just that I never saw Maham in that way. She is only a friend to me. Nothing else." When I look up at her I didn't expect her teary eyes. She wipe her eyes and nodded. 

"I understand, but Uzair we have expectations from you. We know it will be difficult for both of you, but someone leak that Maham and Umair break off their wedding and now everyone is blaming Maham about it and it won't give a good impact on your and Maham life. We were just trying to save you both." She explains softly. I sigh and look away.

I know she is right, but I don't care about my life, I care about Maham's. I heard the visitor chair squealing and footsteps coming closer. I looked up and quickly stood up when I saw Sila folding her hands up to me. I quickly shake my head and lowered her hands.

"Please, marry her." I swallow and look away from her and shake my head. I can't do this.

"Do you want do it?" I looked in her eyes and saw the only thing that I don't want to see. I shake my head slowly and sigh, looking away.
