"Khamoshi"

Chapter-3

The yesterday's incident kept playing in my mind. I can't believe that I'm getting married to my cousin Kasim who I hate and his mother who hates me the other way round.

Why would dad do this to me??. Why isn't he asking me if I'm ready to get married or no??. I wish I could stop this that's happening. I wish I could run away and never come back. But I have Mama who cares about me I can't leave her alone to suffer with my dad.

I turned on the other side of the bed and hugged my pillow closer to me.

I had to take an off from the company so I had messaged my boss Mr. Edward on time saying that I'm not well and I'm happy that he didn't further question me about my illness. If he did ask what was I supposed to say then??. Thank God he didn't ask....

Sighing I layed flat on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. Not understanding what else to do now.

I wanted to stay in my room the whole day but then Mama wouldn't let me be in the room for the whole day.

I got up and rested my back on the pillow. Taking my mobile from the side table I dialed Farrah's number and asked her to come home.

Keeping my mobile on the side table again I got up from the bed and went towards the cupboard to take out my warm comfortable clothes.

Entering in the washroom I took a bath and came out.

Walking towards the dressing table I took out my blow drier from the drawer and dried my hairs.

Quickly applying a light makeup and tying up hairs in a high ponytail and looked at myself in the mirror.

Hmm... I don't look that bad after all.

Going downstairs I went towards the kitchen and looked for mama but she was no where in sight.

Sultanat aapa kya aap ney Mama ko dekha hai woh nazr nai a rheen...

Mannat beta woh kisi kaam say bahir gayeen hain dair say ayain gi ghar.

Acha unhoon nay btaya nai kb tak....

Nai Mannat beta bus itna keh kr gayeen hain bohat dair ho jaye gi....

Achaaa.....

Mannat beta aap betho mein aap keh liye nashta bnati hoon... Kya lo gi aap??.

Kuch bhi day dain Sultanat aapa...

Theik hai beta......

After eating the breakfast I got and kept the dish in the sink and washed it.

Sultanat aapa papa ghar pay toh nai hain naa??.

Nai Mannat beta woh bhi kisi kaam say gaye hain lekin beta aap ki phuppo Shaista or unka beta Kasim woh dono ghar or hain... Mannat beta mein aapsay itna kahoon gi keh aap unkeh aas pass bhi mut jaana...

Theik hai Sultanat aapa... Bohat shukriya btanay keh liye...

Koi baat nai beta aab araam say jao apnay kamray mein...

G...

I came out of the kitchen and looked here and there to see if Kasim or his mom wasn't there because I ain't in any mood to listen to any shit that they are gonna talk.

Silently making my way upstairs I got bumped into someone who was no more than other Kasim.

Shitt!!.... Dekh kr nai chal sktay kya tum...??. Ankhain hain ya button jo nazr nai aata tumhay?!.

Oye larki... Apni zubaan smbhaal kr baat kro tum mujhsay smjhi... Mein yahan tumhari koi bakwaas nai sunnay khara smjhi....

He started to come a lot dangerously close to me...

Kya kr rhay ho peechay hatho or raasta choro mera...

Nai choroon ga kya krlogi tum??. Chilao gi... Haan....!!. Toh chilao q keh yahan tumhari koi sunnay wala nai hai.... Koi bhi nai....

Apni bakwaas bund kro or hatho yahan say Kasim....

Tumhay andaaza bhi nai hai mein tumharay saath shaadi keh baad kroon ga kya....??.

Mein tum jaisay insaan say kbhi shaadi nai kroon gi... Smjhay.... Kabhi bhi nai...

Acha nai kro gi... Q tumhari zindagi or bhi koi hai kya...??. Jissay tum shaadi krna chahti ho...??. Yaad rkhna Mannat tumhari shaadi mujhsay he hogi... Kuch bhi kr skti tum... Tch!!.... Beychaariiiiii Mannat...!!!!!.

He went on mocking me and I couldn't take it anymore. I raised my hand and slapped him hardly across his face.

Ainda kbhi bhi baat krnay say phlay tum 10 baar sochna keh baat kissay kr rhay ho mein woh larki nai hoon jo tum smjhtay ho smjhay..!!!.

Pushing him out of my way I ran towards my room and locked it.

I can never ever marry this person in my life. He'll make my life a living hell!!. I can't stand him for two seconds near me how will I ever spend the rest of my life with him....!!!!.

I rubbed my hands over face.

No... No I'll never marry him never!!. I really need to tell Alyaan fast....

The knock on the door snapped me out of the trance.

Who is it??.

Mannat it's me Farrah...

Ohh yeah wait!!.

Getting up I went to open the door and saw Farrah there.

Come in...

Yup..

Soo what is it that's troubling you Mannat??. Let it out don't keep it inside you let it out Mannat...

Fine...

After telling Farrah I looked at her and she looked shocked as I was when I heard about my marriage with Kasim.

Oh My God I can't believe this Mannat why is your father doing this??. Why don't you just tell your dad that you don't want to marry him...

If you think it was easy I would have told him that day itself when I got to know...

I don't know what to do Farrah....

Did you tell Alyaan about this while thing??.

No Farrah I didn't...

Mannat then tell him what are you waiting for then atleast he can do something.. By sending the proposal to your house...

Hmm... Yeah you are right I'll tell him in the night he's busy right now....

You better tell him Mannat okay....!!.

Yeah...

But who knew that something else was written in my fate and it wouldn't go as I had planned my way......
