Doors to our dreams

Chapter 36- Surprisingly engaged!

20 days Later

Myrah's POV

Filza's engagement was only 10 days away. We finished our exams. O god those days were horrible..

I'm really worried about Anaya. She's very depressed. She's probably mentally hurt, we had spoken to Riyaz about the issue. He simply ignored it. We all were surprised. Because he was always with her and now... I was very upset with him.. I wanted to talk to Faaz about this..

Guess what today is my birthday, as soon as I woke up I checked my phone. There were dozens of messages from my friends and classmates, Fil and Anaya called me we had a video chat, I was so sad that college was done. I can't imagine. It was only the internship left now. We are having the graduation ceremony soon.

However I was disappointed that I hadn't received any wishes or calls from Althaf.

I washed up and changed into some casual clothes which mom had gifted me. I went to the kitchen. It was already 10:00. Anyway I had to sleep the whole day. After all done with exams.

I entered the kitchen and was bombed with a pleasant surprise. "Booooom! Surprise...." Aliyah shouted. "Happy birthday my dear " dad said embracing me in a hug. "Happy birthday sweetheart." Mom did the same. There was small chocolate cake on the table. I was showered with gifts from all of them. I cut the cake and fed everyone. Aaliyah applied some cream on my face. "Mamaaaa" I complained annoyed.

The doorbell rang. "I'll get that." I said. I quickly got up and went to the door. I don't why but I felt the gush of excitement arising in me. I opened the door and peeked my head out. Ohmygod.......

"Althaf you" I gasped. "Happy birthday doll..." He said smiling playfully.  "Won't  you welcome me to your house.. " he asked. I looked at him disbelievingly.. 

I moved a bit. There was no way I can kick him out just like neither could I let him come in. Oh my god what will I do now... He pushed me a little and walked in. "Althaf please mom and dad will misunderstand.. " I said slowly. Trying to push him away. "Please go. " I pleaded. I was so scared. He had a box in his hand. He sat on the couch and placed the box in the coffee table opening it revealing a beautiful heart shaped cake. In it was written 'soon to be mine."...

He took out some cream from it and pulled me to him "happy birthday jaan" he whispered. As he wiped the cream in my nose in a cute way. We were too close. "Ahem ahem" Aaliyah interrupted our moment clearing her throat. I quickly jumped away. He let me go. I pleaded Aliyah to shut her mouth. "Myrah! What's going on? Who is this? " mom asked coming in view. She smiled hesitantly at him. "Hi aunty Asalamu alaikum " he said, I hope he dosent mess  this up, "waalaikumsalam. May I know who you are?" She said apologetically. "aunty I'm Althaf, .." He stopped as though in deep thoughts. "Ok?" Mom said. "Umm. Let me not beat around the bush. Aunty I am extremely sorry. But I love Myrah and so does she. And... I want to make her mine," he stated clearly. "Myrah am I hearing the truth?" Mom asked calmly.

"Y..yes mom.." I stuttered. "Ok then go ahead.." She said. "What? Mom? " I asked shocked. "Marry him then." It was dad. He shakes hands with Althaf. "Mom I'm sorry.. Please forgive me." I said. I was l was literally shivering. "I'm serious? Filza is also getting married. So I think it's high time for you too now," she said. I couldn't believe my ears, I looked at Faaz he was smirking at my reaction.

There was an outburst of congratulations and talks.

"Asalamu alaikum shehnaz. " his mom said coming in through the open door. They both hugged.. I was confused. What amazing moment. "Actually me and Rushda were friends back in college. Anyway I wanted you to marry Althaf but I thought you won't like him. I'm so happy that you already love him loads. " mom explained.
