Sania's POV,
I sank on the sofa paralized. 'He knows.... Zaheer knows. Ya Allah! How? When? What do I do now?'
I tried soo hard to protect him from the truth and now.....
"H-how d-did you...." My voice was shaking.
"How did I know huh? Did you really think I'll never know and you'd leave me without a word?" He said with a voice filled with pain and anger.
Mamma shook me.
"Sania, what is Zaheer saying? I-is it true?"
"Shona....say something. What is your husband saying?" Daddy asked.
I couldn't even look at them. My worst nightmare just came true. Everyone found out.
"Sania..." Mom begin.
"Yes.... it's true." Madiha said. I looked at her.
"It's no use hiding anymore Bhabhi. They were ought to know 1 way or another."
I was soo shaken that I couldn't speak a word. 'They know...
7 YEARS LATERZaheer's POV,I woke up scrunching to the sunlight that suddenly hit my eyes."Naaz....shut the curtains." I scoulded her groggily.I worked till 3am last night so that I could get a relaxing day today. I remembered how Sania used to pull the curtains like that to wake me, but still I used to pretend to sleep so that she could wake me up with a morning kiss...... I miss her.Naaz came and pecked my cheek. I smiled still pretending to sleep."Daddy wake up!" She yelled in my ear shaking me and jumping on the bed."Give daddy another kiss." I said with my eyes still closed and she kissed my cheek again. I pulled her to me and started tickling her as her giggles filled the room."Daadi and Phupi asked me to call you for breakfast. Hurry up daddy."I sat up. "When is Mummy coming back?" She's been to her mother's home for 2 day
Zaheer's POV,I'm exhausted! Finally its over....Its my cousin bro's wedding, yet I had to manage and supervise everything. And what is he doing? Sitting on his chair like a king in his reception.I managed the catering, the decoration, the guest, everything! You might wonder what everyone else did? NOTHING!!! Geez! These are all good for nothing people. The women just took care of their makeup and clothes while the men concentrated on eating; and the friends of the groom? They were busy checking out girls.Like this all wasn't enough. I had various aunties pestering me about when I was getting married. They are asking why am I still single with such good looks, and job at the age of 27. Looks like they can't wait to go for another round of shopping and eat
Zaheer's POV,I brought my mom for her routine check up. She has diabetes. I was just waiting for the reports that's when my phone buzzed. "I'll just take this call its from work" i told mom. She just smiled and nodded sitting in the waiting room.I've never been so thankful to a call from work as I was that moment, because of that call, I got to see her again.She had a injured girl in a burkha with with her. She looked so desperate, her beautiful face full of concern.'maybe she ran to the nearest hospital'I thought she must be a family member but I was wrong."That girl is soo brave, she helped a complete stranger." One of the nurses outside
Sania's POV,I was getting ready for work that's when mumma came to me."Shona, come early today ok?" She said."Mumma" I said with a chuckle. "- I work at a bank. Ofcourse I come early always""But still, come early" she said.I looked at her suspiciously. "Why what's wrong? Is someone coming?"She hesitated a bit but then smiled."Yes. A boy's parents are coming to see you" she said.Ting, ting, ting. The bob pin that I was holding in my lips fell on the cold tiles as my mouth dropped open.
Zaheer's POV,Its been 3 weeks since I met her. She rejected me straight away. Ya Khuda! What should I do? I just can't get her out of my head. I- I think I love her. And I can't figure it out until I see her again. I have to see her. I need to...Sania's POV,Its been 3weeks since Mr. Fancy pants came here. Haven't heard or seen him or his family since then. Its good, but Mummy just wouldn't let go. She keeps on pestering me with questions. 'did you say something stupid? Did you insult him? This- that!' ya Allah! I'm tired.She's worried that a nice proposal would get out of reach. Tsk. I don't want this. I just wanna stay single for the rest of my life and take care of my parents. Mamma says I should worry about having my own family. But trust me, I'll be a terrible mom. I'm already soo bad
Zaheer's POV,I do love her but I don't see anything for me in her eyes. It's like she's being forced to marry me. I need to stop, I need to let her go. So I went to Mom to tell her this. 'Iwant Sania to be happy, but maybe its not with me'Mom's in her room. "Mom, can we talk?""Yes Zaheer beta"I close my eyes. 'Why is it soo hard?'"I think we should-"Her phone rang. "Oh its Fatima ji. Sania's mother."'May be she called to inform that Sania rejected the proposal'"Yes" she looks happy. "-- oh really! Mubarak(congratulations).....Mubarak. Now i think we should immediately decide the dates. -- oh yes-- say Salam to A
Sania'sPOV,The ladies are singing *Geet for me. I'm sitting on a chair surrounded by all of them. One by one the ladies and girls are approaching me and applying haldi on me. I am smiling, but am I?I see the glowing face of Mamma. She just can't stop smiling. Occasionally, she has tears in her eyes, but that smile, its still there. Guess that's the only thing that's helping me to go on.It's a ladies function so Daddy isn't here. He's outside looking after the catering. But he still came for a while and applied the haldi on my face. I cried hugging him, eventually staining his new kurta. Stupid me.There's soo much commotion around here. Soooo much expenses. Why do people even get married? It's soo costly. But
Sania's POV,The sun is in my eyes disturbing my precious sleep. I groggily cover my eyes in my sleep. Irritated, I turn the other way wide awake now and see him. Mr Fancy pants. Oops sorry, my husband.'Wait, he said he'd like it lf I call him that. If he's saying it himself then will it be wrong if I called him that?'He looks soo peaceful when he's asleep. Kinda cute I can say. Wow! He has really long lashes. So thick hair, and that pointy nose. Yep he's handsome. Maybe."Goodmorning" I heard him say, his eyes still closed. And he's smiling."Um- I- uh" I scrambled a bit back mortified. 'what the hell was I doing?'"Did you sleep well?" He opened his eyes and propped his head ov
