✓In Trouble With The Mafia Brother (Completed)

Chapter 2

"Rahina!"

My heart skipped and I froze in my steps as his shy, hesitant voice called me.

Carefully turning around, I saw him being dragged towards me. His face was as flustered as mine.

"Assalamualaikum. Mai (I'm) Uzair." He said shyly.

Oh! Soo cute!

"Walaikum assalam! I know, uh....mai Rahina." I replied stupidly.

"I know!" He grinned.

You idiot! Of course he does! Die!

We looked around with awkward silence all blushy and weird. I should really say something to break the ice.
"Uh....aapki speech bohot acchi thi.
(Your speech was very good.)

"Thankyou. College k representative hone k naate...itna toh karna hi tha."
(As the college representative... I had to atleast do that much)
He said.
"Mujhe laga nahi tha aap u milengi. (I never thought I'd find you like this.) Guess I got lucky."

I grinned shyly looking at my feet. I didn't know what to say. I was soo tongue tied. So we asked about eachother's parents and told eachother to say Salam to them. You know the usual convo.

"Uzair! Let's go!" His friends were calling him.

"Yeah... I'm coming." He called out to them as I felt a little disheartened.
"We have to visit another college too. So I should leave."
He himself looked a bit upset too.

"Of course!" I forced a smile.

"Uh... Rahina..." He was blushing a lot.

"Ji?"

"I hope aap ka jawab ha hi ho?
(I really hope you say yes)." He said abruptly giving me a wide, charming smile and running out to his friends. I gaped at him shocked keeping a hand over my racing heart to calm it.

"Aa...kon tha wo handsome ladka? Aur....assa q bola ki 'I hope aap ka jawab ha hi ho? Teko pro (propose) kiya kya?!" Ashna said over-excitedly from behind me making me jump.
(Hey... who was that handsome guy? And why did he say,' I hope your answer is yes? Did he propose to you?!)"

I looked around at everyone's shocked and excited faces laughing nervously.

We had another bus after an hour so we went to Kaki's (aunty in marathi) stall to eat. I explained my girls the whole story of how a week ago I received a marriage proposal. Uzair's parents saw me at my cousin's wedding and immediately talked to my parents. We never met face to face nor did me ever talked up until now. I just saw his pic that my parents showed me. They really seem to like him..but, I never gave an answer.

"Par q? Itna accha toh hai wo! Ha bool khuli." (But why? He's just soo good. Just say yes you fool) Neha whined shaking me.

"Aase kaise ha bolu? Mujhe shadi nai karni!" (How can I just say yes? I don't want to marry!) I pouted.

"I agree. We haven't even graduated yet. What's the rush?! Infact, marriage is just a burden!" Nadia said only to receive a slap on her arms by both Neha and Ashna.

"Ow!" She pouted cutely rubbing her arms.

"This girl is always soo negative about marriage. Just wait and watch! She'll be the first 1 to get married." Ashna said grinning.

"Allah! Astaghfirullah! Shubh shubh bolo!" Nadia yelled horrified.

"Ok...shubh shubh!" They both said in unison laughing. Nadia shook her head.
