Loved

Chapter 1 - What they are.

«Nooreh»

It was raining.It had been raining since morning.I was sound asleep in my room.But the pitter patter of the rain on my window didn't let me sleep more.So I got up and offered my prayer.After that I took a bath changed my  clothes and went downstairs.I greeted  Ami and Abu,my younger sister Alia who is in college now  and my elder brother Ali who is the CEO of his own company which he made at quite a young age of 24.
While I am in my last year of university studying business and today is my last exam.
"Bhai will you drop me at university today?Its my final exam of last year and I don't want to drive as I have to revise a few chapters"
"Ofcourse Noor jaani!I'll drop you on my way to office"
My family is my world.My love for them is unconditional.
For the past year my mom has been searching for a "good guy" for me as she feels as its high time for me to get married as I'll be graduating this year and honestly deep down in my heart I am okay with it.I feel marriage is a beautiful bond.
You get to spend the rest of ur life with the one you love.
You do things that make your significant other happy.
They do things to make you happy.
Its a reciprocal
It's the name of a mutual effort,to be happy,to live, to love and to be loved.

I woke up and as soon as I was done with my breakfast I rushed to office.
My job is my passion.
Being the CEO of a top notch business company in dubai,having a private penthouse what more could I ask for.
During my teens I used to be that emotional sort of guy who would cry when he left his parents, when he went for college studies in U.S. but with time I learned that these emotional attachments dont let you live.
Its not that I dont miss my family anymore but its just that I've grown up
I dont have time for "relationships"
My mom has been pestering me for the past 2 years as she feels that I am stable and well established and now is the right time  and age to get married but I dont want to.
Its not that I am involved with anyone but its just my personal choice.
Lately I've felt marriage becomes a baggage.
A baggage of someone's emotions,someone's loyalty,someone's love and I dont want to get entangled in this big mess of love,feelings and responsibility.
I want to live life on my own terms.

Ahh!I am finally so relaxed as I came home after my final paper.I was so tired as I had been studying late night for exam that I immedately went to sleep as soon as I came back.
After I woke up I went to amma aba's room so that I could enjoy evening tea with them.I made some pakoras and chai and went to their room.
While we were relishing the pakoras and drinking chai Amma suddenly threw me offguard and said:
"Nooreh,my love,you are now 22 and graduating soon.Your abba and I think you should get married now.We have found a guy for you.He lives in dubai and is the CEO of a  very successful company.We think he will be able to keep you happy.His parents are coming to see you in the evening so I am telling you this before hand as no matter what happens you are the apple of our eyes we won't  force you.The final decision will surely be yours."
Amma said all of this with a big smile on her face
I was so perplexed as to what should I reply.
"Why,When, Where and with Whom you are getting my Noor jaani married?You know she is my heart I can't live without her!Why are you sending her away and most of all who is this guy ?"
All these questions were bombarded by bhai towards Ami
Amma, abba and I couldn't stop laughing seeing bhai go all protective over me.

"Ali calm down beta!
He is a good guy and is the son of your father's friend.He is living in dubai.His family will come tomorrow evening and if all goes well by Allah's will then their son will come for wedding and then you can do your interrogation"
Amma said and laughed at the end
.
"Whatever it is but first of all I'll see whether the guy is capable and deserving of getting married to my baby sister or not.Otherwise it will be a total "NO" from my side"
