Lost Herself On The Way 👣

Part 5 👣

Last night was hectic, as my results were published online and neighbors suddenly remembered me from no where just to ask what my results were, how nosy and curious can people really be, I mean how can they actually keep in track that I did my exams, well anyways I got through all my three subjects with distinction Alhamduliallah. Like for physics results I was scared how worse it could be, but anyways now everything settled and I feel like a burden was lifted after the release of the results, trust me it was a pain in the ass, just thinking about it stressed me a lot and not knowing what the results would be was just an unsettled feeling. Once the results were published I was feeling free and peaceful after like ages, I have never felt this relaxed in my lifetime, am I being too dramatic? but that's how I felt to be honest right after the release. No commitment, no tension and carefree. My parents were happy that I achieved and my dad surprised me with a cake in the evening, but a small part within me said you could have done it better. Okay let gone be gone. So today was more like talking to my friends, and also relatives and friends wishing me and so the day came to an end.
The next day as usual we went driving with dad and came back home, 'Congratulations Sarah for your results, very happy for you dear!, throw us a party soon' said aunt Roya when I got down from the car after going driving with dad. 'Thank you aunt Roya' I went towards her smiling and she appreciated me, and we spoke for sometime regarding the island ranking students and finally I said good bye to her and headed home.Aunt Roya is my mom's close friend and also her elder son and I are of same age. We studied together till 10th standard. She is a very talkative and very outgoing lady. I went home and told mama that I nervous aunt Roya I spoke to her. After sometime I was watching some random show with Areeza on Tv while dad left for some office work and Ayaan went for football practice. And mom's phone rang and I looked at Areeza so that she will go get it. Nope I can't get it this time, you go get it' she said with a grin. I was not in mood for any argument so I picked it up and it was Aunt Roya, 'Hello Aunty!' I said 'hello Sarah, mom's busy dear?' No aunty, wait let me pass her the call I said while handing over the phone to mom and running back to the tv show. After mom was done with her call, mama said that 'Sarah , Areeza I'll go to Aunt Roya's house and be back, I donno why she asked me to come, I'll go check on her and be back' she said while going, okay Ummi we said and continued watching the show.
It's been almost an hour and half since mom went still she was not back home, we continued watching because we knew she would have been caught up talking, and then after like 2 hours mom was back. I and Areeza asked mom what took her so long, she just smiled telling us we were just talking, 'Ummi so she called you to just talk for this long all of a sudden, what was so important to talk anyways' I asked mom being sneaky.Her smile said that there was something big, I didn't like that smile too because that smile said that we are going to have a good long discussion, so anyways I was curious too, I followed mom to her room and sat on her bed waiting for her to open up. 'Aunt Roya has brought up a marriage proposal for you' said mom 'what?' was my only response.
