Feel The Rejection -A Season To Fall In Love

Chapter 1: Convincing Her

Abu hurairah (R. A) reported that prophet (S. A) said,
" a woemen is married for four things :for her wealth, for her beauty, for her lineage or for her piety. Select the pious, may you be blessed"

*********
It was  weekend and  she was tired after   working whole  day  .Usually she  gets morning shifts but  since it  was an accident case  and there was no  other duty  docter   except  her who can be called for emergency at that moment, she went  to treat him .it was around 1:am , she  was finally done with  her  work and  was about  to  head home  when   her mobile beeped   with a message of  viral pandemic disease spreading all over the world like wild fire.   she read it  and  without taking much attention she went back home with her scooty that she bought on  monthly installment policy  .

" Take a leave shabana!tomarrow  one  of my friend's son is coming here to see you. so if  you will  go to hospital, iam sure you wont come early. I don’t want to  be embarrassed in  front of them. Be ready before they arrive and  Wear your last eid dress, that suits on you more" her mother  naseema started to babble  the moment she stepped home .

" Mom atleast let me take rest... I'm fed up of  this marriage  and whole thing  ! I have been rejected by 37 proposals still  you didn’t  realize that marriage thing is not meant for me! didn’t you see how  last proposal  gave me a new reason saying that iam short! Ugh... thanks to allah they atleast said different reason . before every one used to say that  iam dark, oh common people! I know iam dark that doesn’t  mean you  keep on poking me and hurt me! atleast for sake of allah who created me .I really wonder aren’t they scared of allah who created me! .like seriously, they want girl to be perfect like goddess. she should be fair ,  she shouldn’t be fat neither slim , she  shouldn’t  sleep  much she shouldn’t be working , she shouldn’t be short , she should know cooking and ofcourse she should know how  to make round chapattis..   oh my god and what not" she continued to say her thoughts and experience that she had since her mother started looking for the proposals  .

After the death of their father it was hard for them to manage  their life it became more miserable when all her maternal and paternal family left  her mother with four  daughters to die .because of  her  fathers manager who was a kind man helped  their mother to get  a  nice job  in a boutique  as a tailor and shabana being the eldest daughter with her high qualified marks some how got  seat in a medical college although it became  difficult for her to buy books and other nessessity things she still  managed  to do her every requirement fulfil  by doing a part time job as a   receptionist in a  hospital during night  and she even managed to fulfill her other three sisters need. the second one  shameena was a final year degree student  and  shahana was studying in 2nd puc and the last  sister  shamna  who was studying   in   9th standard and of course  the  most pampered, cared,   beautiful and the youngest  member of  the family . she was also shabanas favourite . every day shabana  would  bring some chocolates  to her  younger sister. Their life was  not pretty nice  until shabana  got job in a prestigious hospital so she left her dream to study  m.d   in gynaecology   for sake of her family. Only thing she dreamt in her life was  that which remained as a dream because of   the situation in her  house . its been  4 years since she has been working in that hospital  after completing her doctorate   .  her age was now  27  and all her neighbours and  her  so called family including her mother started to  see her  like 72 .

" Shabana enough of your tantrums! they all are good ok, its just that allah has not written any of their name in your fate" her mother confronted

" Yes  yes , you are right mom . I think allah hasn't written anyone's name in my fate" she said sarcastically with a  sigh

" Shabana  , just stop it already! they are  coming tomarrow and  you  are going to  take a leave  and that’s it"her mother said  sticking back to her words

"  Mom but.... "shabana protested

 "No buts... you are  gonna get ready when they come " her mother demanded clearly "hope that's clear"

" Mom but what's his job ? what's his  education  ?" she enquired "even I have rights" she added

" He works as an accountant  in a hotel and he has  passed  12th " she answered timidly

"Mom that's  not fair!  Shabana  needs someone  who have studied something like hers"   shameena  said intruding  their conversation

" Shut up  shameena! do your  work,  don’t  intrude between us"   their mother rebuked her

" But mom..." she protested 

" I said go to your room at this instant"   her mother said pointing towards their room 

" Mom...! she has point, why are you making her shut! after all iam a docter so  why should I marry someone who's thought will never match   with mine" shabana  asked her mother angrily

" Then what kind of guy do you want shabana?? don’t you see even  shahana's  age kids  are getting married. if I keep on searching proposals for you, Im afraid what will happen to my other kids... they are no more kids  now . And  do you think that  a  well educated guy  will marry  a girl who is dark" she overted 

  "This is all happening because of educated people mom . when they are studying they want beautiful girls from their class as their girlfriends   but after education when  the time comes  for proposals they reject saying she is characterless. they themselves don’t want educated girls . All they want is, girl who is fair,  beautiful , young and  what so ever desired  type they want  and  that’s why iam telling you stop searching  proposals  for me and here on look nice proposal for shameena. she is not as dark as iam mom and she is even getting nice proposals so why don’t you accept the  proposal and let me move forward  with my life " she outcried

"  But shabana., what  if they get to know that her elder  sister is not married ... do you think they will accept her " she asked in frustration

"  I don’t know Mom  but what  if I get marry?who will look after the family?"   she concernly asked her mother

"  you don’t need to worry about that when allah is the one who provide rizk to people" she soothed her " didn’t he made you a docter that even wealthy persons find difficult to become " she asked

" But mom" shabana  protested 

" Please shabana" her mother  begged her  and  started crying which shabana couldn’t bear. So she finally agreed to get ready.
