Ayaan

"Marwa I told you a thousand times, please don't call me during work hours. " I said through the phone. I have a stack of files and papers in front of me and I can't handle any of it with my phone ringing so much. It's my second day, I need to settle down but she won't stop calling me. It's not like I wouldn't want to talk to her, I'm just really busy and I can't get to my phone leaving all the work i need to catch up to behind.

The office phone is ringing as well and I'm just missing the calls. She understands everything, I just don't know what's wrong at understanding right now. Not that she's a problem.

My dad always told me, keep the ladies away from business, he himself had plenty to deal with, he says. But as soon as he landed his eyes on mom, at school, he said he couldn't even look at anyone else besides her. How could I if they don't understand. These women, can't even say anything to them. They get upset quite quickly and then it takes some roses, chocolates, and I long list of sorries to get them to forgive you.

"You won't understand, would you Ayaan? You think this is all a joke and here my mom is getting me married to this guy i don't even know. I can't even say his name. S-ar-faa something!" She replied pleading. Marwa was at the urge of crying. I don't know how to calm her down. Oh, I'm so bad at relationships, but I can't stand her being upset. That's not good.

"Hey..come on now calm down baby doll. You will NOT marry anyone other than me. Don't you trust me? I said I won't let that happen. Just give me some time to talk to my parents. I just don't think I'm ready for responsibility. Trust me?" I said. She better. I'm trying to get myself ready to take this step. Though, my muscles tense at the thought of her in someone else's nikkah.

No, that's never happening.

"Okay. I trust you. But you waiting for a whole year to get married, I don't know what to do. My mom is going to get me married before you even step out your house." She took a slight pause.

" I'm going to have to spend my life with this guy who I can't stand. You really need to understand and should take a step already." She replied dryly. I know she was still worried I'll do anything. But what she doesn't know it that I will never let her go.

In a relationship, men are sometimes a little distant from emotional things, but that isn't true. We just control our selfs so the anger stays in and doesn't come out to anyone. Which will make us regret. Jealousy. Hits us hard, when we here something about our partner with another man.

"Okay Hun, love you! Don't think I would let you marry that Sar-fa whatever I can't even say his name. Now I'm sorry I'm supposed to head to a important meeting, I promise I will call you as soon as possible." I said.

"Okay. Love you too." She said and shut the phone. Marwa is stressing way too much over this. I know I can't let her marry anyone else, but I'm trying to stop this.

Not really.

I actually don't know how to stop her mother from doing all this.

Marwa is probably in her room crying her eyes out into a pillow, while her mother is talking to a guys parents. Her mother is way too 'I'll choose the perfect one for you. Can't repeat mistakes' she says.

Being a single mom changed her life alot. Her mom had to bring up and make Marwa who she is without a support of a man. I never really asked about what happened to her father and I don't want to know that. But whenever I did ask, she says he left her when I was born. That's all the information I have.
