Twelve

Zayn and Liam were too busy making faces at each other to grasp what was said. There was a pin drop silence and everyone was looking at them and when it registered to them-

"WHAT!?"

It was comical how Zayn was the only one that shouted and Liam looked like a fish closing and opening his mouth, trying to get the words out.

"What the fuck did he just say?"

Zayn questioned looking at Farooq. It seems like even Yasser is in shock hearing the idea since the usual "language!" didn't come from him. It was Farooq who once again started speaking ignoring Zayn's outburst. Nothing new, but today that pissed Zayn off to no limits. They're literally planning his wedding without consulting him? What kinda fuckery is this!?

"Bhai Jaan, look at it this way. Raiyyan is gone. Probably not going to come back. Bhabhi I didn't mean to upset you, don't cry. I'm just saying he's probably not going to come back in time for the wedding. And we already announced a wedding, every preparation is done. And after Raiyyan, it's Zayn who has to take care of the business anyway. He will learn, I know he is young. Also, since Zayn and Liam both aren't going to marry girls.. Seems fit, doesn't it? They have been friends forever now!"

Zayn felt like he was going to collapse. He definitely was going to. His low iron was acting up. Or maybe it's his blood pressure going up? Because Zayn was going to lose it. What the fuck did that man just say!? Not only he has to marry Liam, but now he has to take care of the business as well? He's going to run away. He's so going to run away and find Raiyyan Bhai on the way, kill him, and then run away even more.

".... right Zayn? Zayn?"

Zayn was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear a word his Baba said. All he heard was "right" but it's not right!

"No! It's not right! It's all wrong! Who told you I'm going to marry anyone, let alone this.. This.. Liam!?"

He can't just call Liam a crack head in front of the whole family. He has better sense than that.

"And you're not going to force me talking about reputation, fame or whatever you think is at stake. You want a Malik-Payne union? You find Raiyyan Bhai and Laila Baji and do what you planned! Don't drag me in this Baba! I'm not doing this!"

Zayn doesn't know from where he got the courage to even say half of those things to his Baba's face but he did and he stormed off. And why the fuck was Liam not saying anything? Did he die standing there? Zayn would understand though. He almost died too. What the fuck was Farooq Chacha smoking?!

Yasser sighed looking at the door Zayn just ran out of. The idea was good. It will save them lots of shame and money. But to make Zayn and Liam agree.. They're already at each other's throats every chance they can find.

"Geoff.. I'm sorry about Zayn."

Yasser said looking at his tired friend. Geoff looked miserable. He would too. Laila has gone with an ex-criminal. No matter what she says, they're going to worry about her.

"Why are you sorry mate? And it's just stupid to make another of our kids do this for us. Didn't we already make that mistake!?"

Yasser nodded. Geoff was right. They already forced the wedding on Raiyyan and Laila and look what happened! He was going to say something when his phone started ringing in his pocket. Did he already have it in his pocket? He doesn't remember putting it there in all the tension.

"What? No.. No it's not.. Don't give them any news yet. I will manage. Keep them away. Okay. Okay.."

"Who was it Yasser?"
