my heart was deeped in
Sinked in
Hidden in a fantasy.
I pretended to be someone
For so long I can't even remember.
I painted my bright future
Or so I thought.
Then, He knocked
And just like that
My sanity flew far away....

Ya rabbi!
I am so confused. What are you thinking? What is in your mind Ya Nasir? Is it that you are ready to let go of what happened or you are still hung in there?
Ya rahman guide me. I have been dumped in a junk yard wallah. I can't even read the emotions in the eye of the man I married!
The day Dadda bursted my bubbes I felt sick. My mind was on blazed on fire!
"Yar Dadda haryanxu (uptill now?)"
"Yes Dadda, no one yet."
"Toh you are getting married to Nasir in two month time."
Boom! And just like that he dropped the bomb without even prior notice. I dint even hear the triggers clicking.
I dint know what to do, what to think or what not to think, buh I know Dadda and I know I cant say no to him. I cannot disappoint him. He was already looking too scornful for me to pull a dare card.
So I waited two days, contemplating wheather or not I should call. Until that day he called and I picked up immediately. I was actually waiting.
"Salamualaikum"
"Waalaikum salam"
"Urhmm… how are you"
Owh He can ask?
"I am fine. How was your trip?"
"Alhamdullilah"
"Hows work? Hope they aren’t giving you any troubles"
"No work is fine, thank you."
silence
Silence
Silence.......
"Have you heard?"
I wanted to ask about what? But I know that will be like raising dust in an old woman's tent. And I don’t want to see Ya Nasir angry. He has given me enough anger to last me a year. Afterall, its not like I dint know what he was talking about.
"Uhmmm,, yes Dadda told me two days ago"
"So why dint you call me since two days ago?"
"I thought you should call first."
Uhhmmmm he cleared his voice.
"Are you okay?"
I know what he meant, but he knows I cant say am not okay, so why boder asking.
"Am okay?..."I dragged faining ignorance
"I meant with the marriage thing…"
Silence…………..
"Talk Hanan."
"Are you okay?" I asked back. That is the only sentence I could think of at that moment
"I don’t know..." His reply was curt.
"So… what do we do now?"
"I guess we would have to get married then."
