Pyar Ki Love Story | Short Stories | 1st Book |

6 ⛅

Haya was in her room, studying. Since few weeks, there was peace in her life, none of her aunties told her to do household chores, neither taunt her over anything. While she liked this peace in her life, but was afraid this peace isn't gonna last forever. Kusum and Nasreen must be upto something. But what? Haya couldn't figure it out.

Groaning, she closed her book and sat up straight. For how long she is gonna live like this? On others favours, worrying about every little thing. She wanted to be away from this mess.

"Haroon, hosh mein ho tum keh kya rahe ho." Nasreen asked her son, disbelief was visible on her face.

(Haroon, what are you talking about?)

"Kya hua, ammi, aisa kya keh diya maine? Mujhe achhi job mil rahi hai main kyu na karu..." Haroon asked.

(What happened, ammi, what wrong did I say? I've got a good job, why should I refuse?)

He got a job in a reputed company, as Haroon already have experience from his own office, that's why he got a real good position and salary was good too, but the problem was that it was out of country. And without discussing it with his parents, Haroon accepted it.

"Humara yaha business hai tum yeh choti si job ke liye apna desh kaise chorh sakte ho."  Shamsher told him.

(We have our business here, why do you need to leave your country for a small job.)

"Business tha, bankrupt ho gaye hain hum." Haroon showed him the reality check.

(We had a business, it is bankrupt now.)

"Kahi ka business nahi raha ab, issey pehle hume mali koi mushkil aye, achha hoga main job karne lagu. Support ke liye."

(Before we get poor, I should start doing a job to support our family.)

"Tumhare papa soch rahe hain, woh iss tarah se business nahi jane denge, tum negative kyu soch rahe ho." Nasreen told him.

(Your father is thinking about this, he won't let the business go away, why are you thinking so negatively?)

"Ammi. Job achhi hai, salary achhi hai main nahi chorh sakta yeh opportunity." Haroon tried to make them understand. This was another reason why he didn't discussed it earlier with them, they wouldn't have let him give interview or accept their offer.

(Ammi, it's a good job, salary is also very good, I can not leave this opportunity.)

"Tumne faisla kar liya hai." Shamsher once again asked.

(You have decided everything.)

"Ji!"

(Yes!)

"Theek hai, jaisi tumhari marzi."

(Fine, do as you wish.)

"Kya? Lekin..." Nasreen started saying but Shamsher showed his hand to her.

(What? But...)

"Lekin jane se pehle Haya se nikkah karlo. Mere bhai ki beti hai, Sikander ki mout ke baad maine hamesha socha tha sahi waqt ayega toh tum dono ki shadi karwa dunga. Woh abhi parhai kar rahi hai iss liye maine kabhi kuch nahi kaha, lekin ab tum agar bahar jane ka keh rahe ho toh Haya se nikkah karlo jissey hume bhi sukoon..." Shamsher added.

(But, before you leave India, I want you to marry Haya. She is my brother's only daughter. After his death, I always wanted her to become My daughter-in-law, and was waiting for her to complete her studies. But you are so in rush to leave India, that's why I want you to marry her before going.)
