Forever Yours

Chapter 8

"So well I couldn't stop thinking, you know," Saim blabbering while Zaim and Saad exchanged glances before looking at him who found it difficult to form words, "We got it, tell us what about when you left for there yesterday."

Saad spoke and Saim nodded his head giving a grin before telling them about the night.

"So you couldn't meet her?" Saad questioned and Saim nodded his head. "Yeah but after I was done with my breakfast today, I thought that I'll talk to her friend, the one who works in the café, so I went to talk to her from the backside of the café and I heard that Yusra is getting married to her cousin, in the same house." Saim explained and the two looked at him in astonishment.

"What?" Zaim questioned his focus completely on his son who shrugged his shoulder in denial, "But there should be some catch, if they don't like her they wouldn't just get her married without any reason." Saad thought out loud and Zaim too nodded his head at his son's point.

"Yeah, so when I heard this I went to her house. I found her aunt present there and the only thing I came up with was to get her married to me. She was persistent at first but later she agreed." Saim spoke calmly, breaking his knuckles while Zaim raised his brow at his son, waiting for the briefs.

"What did you say that made her agree?" Saad questioned moving ahead, glancing between his father and brother, to only frown when he heard his brother chuckle nervously, "I offered?" He said more like questioned to only have their eyes widen.

"You offered money!?" Zaim exclaimed standing up making the two to instantly stand up. Saim lowered his head and nodded his head while Saad looked at his brother in disbelief, questioning, "How much?"

"Is that even a question Saad!?" Zaim snapped at his son, making the two to flinch at his pitch. Zaim hardly showed his bad side but whenever he would, the entire household feared him except his wife.

"I had no oth-" Saim was cut off when Saad patted his shoulder gazing at his father take a seat while the two followed.

"You should have talked about it with someone but offering money on return of marrying her is so not our ethics Saim." Zaim spoke calmly trying to make his son understand.

"I know dad, but from what I have seen everyone who knows her are aware of what she is going through in that household. Her friend too is aware and they could have done something right? But they didn't which surely would have some reasons. And I just did the first thing that came to my mind. My intention wasn't bad." Saim explained and Zaim read his son who looked sincere.

Nodding his head he sighed, while Saim grinned. "Thank you Dad, thanks for understanding me." He said and tackled him in a hug while he patted his son.

"You are doing so much, so let's do one thing, let your brother get married to her." Zaim said hiding his smirk while Saim turned to his brother who looked ready to leave the room, "I don't want to mess with my brother's life."

Saim said and Zaim challenged his son waiting to change his answer but he remain firm on his words making Zaim to nod his head but he couldn't help but smirk at his son's logic.

"But what about your mother?" Zaim asked and the room went silent while Saim stiffened thinking about his mother, "Don't tell your mother all this at the moment or she wouldn't let this happen. Just inform her about the marriage which is when by the way?" Zaim looked at Saim who gave a cheeky smile to the two.

"Two days?" Saim asked more like questioned and Zaim sighed already tired of the number of shocks in a day while Saad gaped at his brother, unable to speak up. Looking at their reaction, Saim stood up and rushed out while Saad followed his movement through his eyes before turning to his father.
