Aisha's POV
"Good morning sleepy beauty " I heard both Mom and Zainab voice
"Wake up grumpy"Zee said
I open my eyes and glared at her"can't someone sleep peacefully in this house?"
"You can dear but today is not the day for such such,have you forgotten today is your sister's introduction?"
"Yes yes that's true Umma I'm sorry"
"Of course you should be,you were suppose to plan this day with me"
"Yes boss,I'm fully awake now OK?"
"Now get up and let dress up before the grooms family arrive"
"Yes you two should go now"
"Ok mom" we both said
We entered Zee room and place our dress on the bed,"wow can't believe we choose this cloth"
"Me too,and I'm so happy that we did,it's so beautiful"
"Yes it is"-Zee cloth was a beautiful elegant pich gown with lace all over it, a golden necklace is place at the neck with a low back cut,mine was all the same as Zee but the colour is just different mine was white,I choose to pick white because I love white while Zee hates white. She always made stupid excuse by saying white always make her scared, it just as if she's seeing a ghost anytime she saw someone in pure white cloth
"You're crazy you know that? This white here Miss was suppose to be yours"
"I hate white you know that"
"But white are always good and the best"
"I don't care I hate it and I hate it" huh! This lady here won't stop to irritate me sometimes with her attitude
"What about the make-up artist,they were suppose to be here by now!"I exclaim
"Calm down grumpy,I'm the one that owns today so why shouting and moreover you don't like make-up right? So why pacing your heart" zee said laughing
"I can't calm down,the grooms family are arriving any moment from now on and you haven't dress up and do anything, tell me dear sister is it when they arrive that when we'll know that you're to dress then? And to your question yes I don't like make-up,thank you for reminding in fact I hate anything make up it changes the real look of someone face and I hate it for that"
"But I'm sorry can't help you on this sister,you'll have to do makeup today"
"No way! You know how much I hate makeup"
"And that's why I'm giving you a price to do it" she said stressing on the word price
"You're unbelievable " I muttered as I stormed entering her toilet to take my bath
"Zee are you dress? i-" I stopped at the mid of my statement when I saw zee sitting on her bed like an angel
"Wow! You look beautiful and hot sis" I squeal
"Thank you,but I'm very sure it will look good more on you, I know you'll look like a goddess"
"Oh no! you know that's impossible you're beautiful and no one can compare with you on that"
I really need to bring out another topic If not this'd be the topic we'll both be arguing on. I love my sister and she loves me too so no one would want to praise her self it better to both praise each other
"But where's the makeup artist?" I ask scanning the room
"She went out just now to receive a call she will be back soon" she said
"Oh! Lemme quickly put on my cloth before she comes in"
"OK quick,hurry! " zee wave her hand indicating me to hurry
"How do I look?" I ask zee twirling round
"You look perfect! Now sit so she can do your make-up"
"Zee can't I just put on a normal powder?"
"No can't do dear sis"
"OK fine it not like I can change your mind"
"Hahahaha thank God you know"
"Please ma'am do the perfect makeup for her"
"Okay Ma" the lady replied zee smiling
"Wow! You look amazing Sis,just like a bride"
Now I'm blushing just because of my sister's comment on me
"Thank you sis"
"You're welcome and"- she couldn't finish her statement when Mom barged in
"Are you both ready? The groom and his family are here"
"Mom just give us three minute we'll be done"
"Okay then, just don't take too long OK?"
"OK Mom" we both replied
We wrap our veil neatly on our head,I put a transparent veil to cover Zee face and we walk down stairs to meet the grooms family
"I'm nervous Sis"
"Don't be,if not you'll ruin the make-up!"
"OK then"
Just as we step into the living room I saw the grooms family sitting down and of course the soon to be groom too,he lifted his head and smirk at me. What?! Did he just smirk? What's wrong with guy? I think I had a bad feeling about him
"Sis! Sis!!" I heard zee voice never knew I zone out
"Mmm,isn't he handsome? I love him already, I think this is what they call love at first sight right? I made up my mind I'm going to marry him as my husband"
Huh? She love him? but I don't like him,this guy isn't good for my sister I don't know why I'm having a second doubt on him. I look at his direction and still he keeps on smirking my way. I've decided Zee can never get married to this lunatic I hate him already! Zee was ask to sit next to the lunatic and the necessary things were done,he even offers to pay the dowry. What! No he can't please God save my sister I have a bad instinct about this guy,luckily Dad decline. Thank you dad for saving my Sis. Everything is done,the Imam are through with the preaching for the both of them and Zee has finally remove the transparent veil covering her face,she smile to me and I did the same
Dad introduce us to them. This is my Beautiful wife as you've known before Habiba,and this is my First son Adyan,and my two beautiful daughters Aisha and Zainab" Dad finish introducing
I heard an Oh! Comment from Mr lunatic as Dad mentioned my name
I glance to look at Adyan to see if he can also sense my suspicious towards this guy but No he didn't,he smile lovingly at me,I quickly avert my face from him,i still don't feel comfortable after his confession last night
Mr Lunatic and his Dad excuse themselves,guess they have something personal to talk about and-
I flinch when I had something vibrating on me. What the! What's vibrating now!
Subhanallah it's my phone,who's disturbing my peace now. "Excuse me Dad,Mom I need to pick up this call"
"Ok dear,don't stay too long"
"Hello?"sounding like a question
"HELLO!!!! Hey Aisha it's me Rukkayya,where the hell are you? The boss is furious right now"
"What did you mean,today is Saturday right?"
"Ya Allah I knew something have been wrong somewhere! Today's Friday Aisha!"
What?! Innalillah what have I done now? Now he'll think I'm taking advantage of our friendship
"I....Rukkayya.....I...we...I mean...my-"
"Your what?!" Here come his voice
"Adyan?!"
"Aisha what did you think you're doing? Taking a day off without informing me? Just because we're friends now doesn't mean you could do anyhow you please"
"I'm.... I'm truly.... I'm truly sorry Aryan I thought today is Saturday because my sister introduction was today not knowing today's Friday, I'm sorry please Aryan please I'm sorry,I'll take any punishment you give me but please just don't fire me please Aryan"
"If you truly care for your work you wouldn't have done this in the first place,I'm so disappointed in you Aisha,I thought you're a very hardworking woman,ever since the day I've employed you,you always work for this company as if the company was made out of your sweat but now you're like this?" he said hanging up
Aryan?! Aryan?!! Subhanallah what am I going to do now, I will just tell Mom and Dad that something came up at work and I need to go because my attention is needed
"Dad don't worry once we're married for good I will make sure I make them pay for what they has done to us" I heard a male voice
No I need to focus on my problem for now,but the stupid curiosity in me won't let me,I wanted to know who that voice belongs to. I peep and saw Mr lunatic and his Dad both staring at each other
"I know son! I know,but I can't wait to destroy their family,I hate Ibrahim families, I can't wait to finish them off! And the stupid daughter is happy she has find a life partner!
Hahahahaha let her think all what she can,after our marriage I'm going to make her life miserable,she's not even beautiful Dad,why didn't you arrange my wedding with the pretty one Aisha,I like her most than this Zainab,Aisha has nice shape than her and beautiful too,I like her skin colour but too bad it will all ruined when the suffering begins if she was the one I was suppose to marry"
What?! I knew it, I knew he was up to no good,so this is what they've been planning for us? I won't allow it,this is my pay back time, I need to pay this family back for what they've done to me,they help me and treat me like their real daughter, so I won't let any evil befall them
"You son if a bitch!" I barged into where they're without thinking
"Oh! Look who's here"
"How dare you,did you think I will allow all your plans to work? No I won't coz I won't back down easily I will make sure I tell my Dad on you"
"Really? Do you think your dad will believe you?" Mr lunatic says- cut the crap Aisha,there's no any Mr, he's a lunatic
"Of course he'll, I'm his daughter" I defend my self
"Then try your best dear,good luck" he said laughing evilly as they both walk away
I dial the number Rukkayya use to call me earlier but she's not responding. Please pick up please do I really need to speak to Aryan,he's the only who can help me now "Ya Allah what have we done to deserve this?" I muttered to my self
"This people are so unbelievable,I'm having headache just by thinking about them, is this an introduction or back biting? "
Nine months laterAryan"Arrrgh!!!! Aryan!""Love, what's wrong?." I asked, in a scared tone."Are you seriously asking me what's wrong? Are you that dumb? I'm about to put to bed!" She yelled angrily at me."Huh? Put to bed? Oh my God! What do we do now?.""ARYAN!!! Hospital NOW!!" She yelled again at me."Hospital... Hospital..." I repeated twice before running into our room to take my car key."Maa, can you bring her stuffs later on, we really need to leave.""Okay Aryan, I will do that. Just... Just take care of her.""I will, thank you."I had made my way to the door before realising what I was doing. I immediately turn back and ran to her. "Idiot!" She muttered slapping my shoulder."Sorry... Sorry." I said.I helped
AishaI drag Aryan out before anyone could notice us. Maa and her friend, my mother in law's and my Mom, are still catching a patch.I think, they will get along soon.I can't wait for that.I also invited Khalid over and he's not even here yet. He refused my invitation at first but I had to threaten him. How I became so close.to him within just two months still surprise me.Once we were at a place where no one will see us, I started to question Aryan. "Why didn't you tell me about it?."He knows what I'm talking about- Fatima's charges."Actually, I was planning to tell you but you see.. everything that later happened for the past two weeks got all of my attention. Believe me, I really wanted to tell you about it.""Alright then, I have heard you but......" I said as I trailed off while staring at him with my puppy eyes.
Aryan"So, shall we?." She asked stretching out her hand at me. I looked at it for a while before I gently took it in mine and, we both walk back to the sitting room to finally talk to my mother according to her.As we both sauntered out of the room down straight to the living room, my mind kept wandering from here to there.I do want peace, I've always dreamed of that all this years. I've thought of how to confronted her whenever I meet her again. I've thought of all the questions I would throw at her face. I've thought of how I would scream at her and ask her why she left me.I walk back into the sitting room with Aisha only to find her aseat with my Dad...dDad? And, they were both weeping wrap in each others arm. It been long that I've seen my Dad in tears.But, how did he get here? How did he also get to know about everything that he had to be here too? I turned t
AryanI missed Aisha's smile right now, I really do wants to kiss her a lot. And, I really wanted to see her. I want to hold her in my arms, kiss her and apologise for being an annoying jerk for the past weeks. I couldn't help it, I had a lot on my mind and no matter how hard I tried not to think about the woman who gave birth to me, I just couldn't.Aisha had came back to the house and my life only to get my love and support back but I instead, didn't give her any of that... Instead, I was giving her a cold shoulder.The following day, our families came over to meet her, including, Rukkayya. They are all happy to see her. Especially Zainab, she wouldn't leave Aisha for a second, she left my house only this morning since two weeks ago.Everyone misses her. Adyan, he has started to change towards me too but not entirely. I can now understand him though. I know how it felt when the woman you lov
AishaI started. "The woman from earlier, she's your biological mother right?." I asked him softly, I watched his eyes seeming to get darker. Like, it was feel with hatred, he stood up from his seat and walk past me.I took in a deep breathe and wish my husband could just share his worries with me."She's the woman who gave birth to me." He started. My eyes slowly widen but quickly mask it off. What is eevn wrong with me? I should have known already. I have been told already but, I just want to be sure of what I had heard. I slowly turn to him but found his back facing me."That's it, that's all that she's to me, she doesn't deserve the word 'mother' I made a mistake calling her Mom a while ago because she's not worthy of it." I could sense the bitterness in his voice. My poor husband.I quickly walk up to him and brought him in a tight embrace. I could feel his arms tighte
He looked at his phone strangely for a while. He tried dialing the number back but the same person that calls him was not picking up, later on, it says, it's not reachable."Is it possible that this person is playing a prank on me?." He thought."But again, that can't be the case because, it been months already and, I've never receive a call like this." He thought again. He immediately stand up, pick up his phone and wallet into his pocket and walk out of his office.•"So, what did he say?." Mrs Maryam asked her."Actually, I didn't wait for him to say anything. I only told him to go to his house of he wanted to see his wife and hang up the call.""Aisha,don't you think you're too hard on him?.""No ma." She replied while smiling."So, are we leaving now? Have you park all of your clothes?.""Yes ma, I have. Even though, it still fell st
