Emma was from Pakistan and she was muslim, She came here for studies after convincing her 'papa' begging and sobbing infront of him he allowed her to come to new york
Every once in a while she goes and visit her family
She tells how strict her parents are especially her dad he is a really serious man but when with my dad he isn't like that instead making jokes often and laughing
"We'll figure it out Emma you don't have to worry alright? I'll help you with it" I assure her but her expression remains same, scared I sigh "we'll try from the first thing and that is to tell your Mother, call her up I am sure she'll understand"
She shakes her head "no she won't, Urghh why did I even get into this mess"
I put a hand on her shoulder "Call her, Believe in her for once.. just try"
She frowns biting her nails I slap her hand away "You sure?"
I nod silently, she picks up her phone dialling her mother's number
It rang for a while then she picked it up
"Assalam o Alaikum Mumma" *Greetings* (peace be upon you) Mumma
"Walikum Assalam, Beta bohat jaldi yaad agayi tumhein meri ?" She said something sarcastically
(Peace be upon you too) child, you missed me too soon?
Emma sighed "nahi Mumma bas office mein zyada busy hogayi hun aj kal"
No Mom, I just am really busy in office these days
"Tumhare Papa pooch rahe the tumhara, kab aarahi ho wapis chanda?" Her mother says in softer tone
Your father was asking about you, when are you coming back *nickname* sweetie
Emma nods "Aungi jaldi, Acha mumma ek ladka hai idhar mere office mein mujhe acha lagta hai wo, mujhse shadi karna chahta hai"
I'll come soon, Mom there is a guy in my office I like him, he wants to marry me
Her mother falls silent not uttering a word while Emma steal a glance at me worriedly I reassured her by shaking my head slightly
"Kon hai?" She asks quietly
Who is he?
"Nathan" Emma says
"Haye Allah! Eman! Angrez hai!?" Her mom gasped
Oh god Eman! Is he white?/is he english?
Emma slowly nods biting her lip
"Allah mujhe maaf kare! Hadd hoti hai Eman is liye bheja tha tumhein bahir!?" Her mom yells
God forgive me! There's a limit Eman Is this is why we send you abroad !?
A small tear escaped from emma's eyes which she wiped away quickly
I quickly took the phone from her, I guess I have to deal with it "Hi Mrs Javed" I smile
Her mom furrows her eyebrows then as if she realised who I was she nods "Chloe?"
I nod happily
Atleast she remembers my name
"Eman dost bhi tumne gore rakhe hein koi pakistani rakh leti dost" her mom spoke in her native language causing me to be confuse not understanding
Eman, you made white friends too, you could've made some pakistani friends
Emma rolls her eyes "Abhi tak mujhe nahi mila koi pakistani"
I haven't met anyone pakistani still
"Um so Mrs Javed I really want to talk this with you, she really loves Nathan I know you guys have this thing where you can not marry someone out of your culture or religion but she really do love him, Please give it a try and talk to him once" I say in a polite tone
She sighed "Okay Beta Chloe, I'll talk to him once"
Child
I smile at her response "Thank you for being understanding"
She sends me smile back "Allah hafiz"
Good bye
I nod repeating the words after I only happen to know this word and the greetings "Allah hafiz"
Phewww
Its gonna be hard convincing her dad though
