My Rishta Aunty

"Hayee, Daima you are turning 23 in a week! Don't you think you should get married?", she paused, "MaShaAllah, you're fair, you're tall and slim, how do you not have a boyfriend?"

That...was my judgy aunt, who also is a rishta aunty. She has fixed about 59 alliances and they have all been a success.

Somehow a rishta aunty, had to be my own fathers sister.

And since the day I became an adult, I have been told to get married. Because these alliances don't come on a daily basis.

"Look at this", she said as she opened her laptop, "This is Waqas Khan, he is a lawyer, and look he is tall and handsome and fair. It's a perfect match for you!"

However, I had absolutely no interest in getting married. My ideal age for all that marriage stuff was 28, not 23.

But how long will I be able to stay single when I have this rishta aunty after me?
