Her craving for love

Chapter 18

*Unedited*

Arhaan's POV:

             Today was the day I will be getting married to someone whom I don't really know all I know is I am doing this only because of my parent's happiness,All my life I have just engrossed myself in my studies and my business that I never got time to think about marriage let alone think about sharing my life with someone whom I don't even know ,all this is just so surreal to me,Never in million years I might have thought this day would come in my life that too so early, for goodness sake I am just 26 I have many things to achieve in life,It's not like I am not happy about getting married it's just that I feel like everything is happening way too early even for me to think and work on it,I still remember the day when dad came to my office and said

"Arhaan I will get straight to the point my son your uncle wahab has got an alliance for you trust me the girl is really good and suitable for you and our family and her family is also good ,All I want you to do is to think about it.. "

"But dad don't you think it's way too early for me to get married I mean I am just 26 and please dad I am not ready for such a big responsibility so early ,I need time,I have so many things to achieve in my life and I seriously don't think I am ready for marriage atleast not now " I said what I actually felt

"Arhaan I know and I understand everything you are saying but trust me son this girl is really best ,you will surely like her and coming to your age it's the right age for you to get married and about you achieving your goals with the right partner with you, you can achieve much more in your life than you ever can,its mine n your mom's dream to see you get married and settled in your life it will make both of us happy so please my dear son for once think about it,I said what I wanted to say now whatever your decision will be I will happy with it.. " dad said and left

His words made me think and I did istiqara and when I got positive response I gave my answer to my family and they were more than happy with my decision,I never knew my decision will make them so happy anyhow seeing them happy made me feel happy..

As I was engrossed in my thoughts I never knew when my friends came

"Where are you lost bro.? " hashim my childhood bestie asked

"Nowhere buddy" I replied

"By the way if you are ready come let's go everyone is eagerly waiting for you.." he said

I just nodded and went down to see all my family members patiently waiting for me

"Ma sha Allah my son is looking so handsome,I can't believe my arhaan is getting married.." mom said emotionally while hugging me and giving me blessings

"Believe it my dear wife because your arhaan is not little anymore he is going to have his wife now and you will be free from doing all his duties now.. " dad said with a teasing tone which made everyone to laugh and ofcourse except me because that made me more nervous than I actually am..

I just smiled at them and we all left for the masjid..

"Mohammed arhaan ibne siddique Ahmed Kya aapko mahira mehek binte Malik Ahmed k saath ye nikah qubool hai.." asked maulvi saheb

"Alhamdulilah qubool hai.." I said,while saying that I know from today everything is going to change surely in a good way in sha Allah..

After dua everyone congratulated me and blessed me,As I was standing dad came and took me to the side and said

"From today you are not the arhaan you where before marriage,now you have mahira in your life you should give her more time and importance,you should never make her feel leftout ,you should learn to balance your time with your office work,family and wife, you should learn to have more patience and should learn to understand her and love her,she is leaving everything precious to her and coming to you with a hope of getting all the love,care,support and everything from you,you should give most of your time to her and should always keep her happy,I know you are mature enough to handle everything yet I felt as a father it's my duty to give you a piece of my mind..."
