Zeenath
"Zeenath!"
Came abbu's voice.
"Yes papa!"
"Eating sugar?"
"No papa!"
"Telling lies?"
"No papa!"
"Open your mouth!"
"Hahaha!"
We had a long laugh before ammi called us for dinner.
Me and bhaiyaa went upstairs to fresh up and pray Isha before dinner.
Then I realised that I've entered 'That-time-of-the-month-when-I-get-a-lot-of-mood-swings'
So I stayed in my room, reading a wattpad story, for sometime. So that the men's in the house think that I was offering namaz.
After that, I went downstairs because I was hungry!
Keep aside that fact that I am always hungry!
I had my dinner and was heading towards my bed room, when I recived a call from Rafeh.
Rafeh??
Why is he calling me??
At this time of the day??
Is everything alright??
Rrrriiiinnnngggggg!
That brought me out of my thoughts and I went into my room before answering that call.
"Salam?" It sounded more like a question.
"Was salam! Zeenath actually ammi wanted to speak to you." Came Rafeh's voice from the other side.
I nodded. Then I realised that he can not see me, so I replied with an "Ok"
"Salam Zeenath beta!" Rafia anni sounded happy.
"Was salam anni! Sab khairiat se?"
"Alhamdulillah sab khairiat se hai! Actually I am organizing a small get-together for close friends. I tried calling your mother, but wo eak insaan, kabhi phone utha ti hi nahi! So I called you using Rafeh's phone because I lost all my contacts. Is it ok?"
"Ok anni, I'll give my phone to ammi. Just a minute!"
Then I ran downstairs to kitchen, where ammi was still working.
She does not even know the amount of time she is in kitchen, working for us!
"Ammi, Rafia anni is on line. She wants to speak to you about some get together. Take this, I'll complete your work." I gave her my phone and took the utensil she was washing.
Most of the time, I saw Rafeh glued to his phone. Wonder what is he doing now.
After a verryyy long chat, ammi finally said her good-bye to anni and came to my room.
I was sitting on my bed reading a novel. Well... am really in love with reading.
She came inside and sat beside me.
She looked at me and gave a big smile.
Then I asked her, "What did anni told you?"
"Ah.. she is having a get together party day after tomorrow. So she wants you, Zainab and Zubair to help them in decorating. Will you go?"
"Sure ammi! Why would'nt I?"
"Thanks beta! Annndd....ummm actually Zeenath"
She stopped .
"Ammi, what happened?"
"She really loves you! She said that family will be very happy and blessed where you will go. Andd... she wants someone like you for Rafeh."
"What do you want to say, ammi?"
"She said this to me years ago and I spoke about this to your father too."
"And I really think that Rafeh is the one for you, Zeenath!" Abbu cam in my room saying this.
"Abbu! Please sit!" I said making place on my bed.
Now, I was between Ammi and Abbu.
"See Zeenath beta, we know Rafeh from more than 10 years now. And we trust him with our precious dimond. We know that Zubair love you soo much, and he will never give you in wrong hands."
"And I know Rafeh like the back of my hand!" Bhaiyaa was standing, leaning on my door frame.
"Whhattt!!! You three in this, together??" I said in a shocked tone.
"Come, sit here!" I said to him gesturing in front
"And you know that Zubair will kill that guy who will bring tears in his sister's eyes, if no-one stopped him!" Abba said, while patting his sholder.
"So Zeenath, tell us about your views." Ammi said me.
"Ammi, I want to complete my studies first. Then I'll think about this. Even Rafeh wants to complete his studies right! And I am just 20 to be married! We know each other for 10 years now, but I need more time to know him, to understand him. I know bhaiyaa know him very well, but he is, as you all think, my future husband! I can not marry anyone without knowing. I even need to know what he thinks of us. I'll speak to Rafeh and then both of us will decide. Now you all go and sleep!"
And with that, they all left my room.
I stood up and locked my room, thinking about his decision.
I thought of calling him but then I say the time. 12:30 am. He might be sleeping.
So I turned of the lights and climbed my bed, and was about to close my eyes, my phone buzzed.
Its Rafeh's message.
"Assalamualikum! Tell me if you are free. I need to talk to you!"
"Walaikum assalam! Yeah am free and bored! So call!"
After a minute or two, my phone started ringing.
Rafeh calling!
