Your wealth and your children are just a test; and with Allah is a tremendous reward.[64:15]



Zeba pov
I was busy working on my laptop then someone barged in office I got startled and snapped to door but person standing their looked pissed before I can utter a word

"What is this" yelled hira I just ignored her and moved to door and locked last thing i want his for employees to know that someone is yelling at their boss. Hira just turned to me with frown well now starts are questions session

"Are you ignoring me what do you think you can escape from me" she said

"I'm not ignoring you and can you calm down first" I said offering her glass of water which she gulped without bothering to sit

"Come on now tell me reason for your sudden arrival" I asked trying to gather things from desk. I'm asking even if I know answer because sometimes hira can be bit dramatic

"Ahh you didn't tell me about wedding I can't even buy best dress in week" she whined see isn't she weird

"Hira for starter I got to know about my wedding just 2 days ago and stop whinnying like its your wedding" I said not looking at her but everywhere else

"But its my best friends wedding I want it to be special" she said not giving room for argument

"What is special dadu has still not recovered completely and at Office work is getting off track" I said with frustration

"Zeba I'm sorry I know about dadu. I just thought you'll be excited about wedding. Do you Wanna talk about it know" she asked and that moment i wanted to tell her how helpless and guilty I feel for dadu because somewho I'm responsible for his condition. I said on couch and clutched it tightly

"I feel really guilty. I was irresponsible back then" i said it looking at floor

"Your not irresponsible it was never you intention and no one is guilty for it. Insha allah dadu will get well soon" she said taking my hand and I just nodded to her to which she gave smirk

"When did you got this proposal. Is it some sort of love story cooking their. Did you know Idris bhai from before. How did you impressed Batul auntie...." she was asking questions non stop to shut her I smacked her arm with frown

"Ouch your so evil I don't know how Idris bhai will live with you" she said rubbing her arm

"He have to survive their is no other option" i said

"Oh I see you started imagining you're live with him" she said I was shaking my head on her childishness

"Now let me answer your questions and don't interrupt when I talk" i said and hira nodded her head

"You remember dinner party that day I got proposed but I rejected but when then dadu asked me about it i can't say no to him. So marriage date got fixed" I said but hira was still giving curious looks

" I know now you want details about it" i said she nodded her head smiling

At dinner party

"How are you bia" batul auntie asked and her eyes showed concern and she was smiling i was shocked because only my Mom's friend used to call me with that name and it has been years I have heard someone calling me that

"How did you know my nickname" I asked and she smiled turning away

"Didn't you remember your anna boo" she said looking forward and all the memories of her came to me then I got my answer

"Are you" i asked and she nodded

"Did you missed us bia because we really did your uncle javi used to talk about you and was proud of you" she said looking at me but I can see her eyes lost its spark which used to be their when uncle was alive

They where like family to me uncle javi used to be best buddy and he was one who encouraged me when I used to feel down after my Mom's death i didn't meet them and try to avoid any contact to forget pain

"I missed you ana boo I'm sorry for not meeting you and I was abroad or not I would have come to meet uncle javi" I said and she looked at me

"I know you didn't want to remember your Mom's death and javeed always said you are his brave daughter" she said with smile and I smiled too

"I always used his advice to get moving" i said reminiscing his lessons when I was kid

"Do you remember he wanted you to be his son's wife" she said and my smile vanish at her words

"But I'm not the same zeba anymore you can find someone better than me for him" I said and she frowned

"Your best match for my son" she said not convinced with me

"Auntie I'm workaholic person I don't have time for family. I have become self centered and only care for my business" I said but she smiled and hold my hand

"Your just like my son and your not self centered you're scared to care" she said and changed topic knowing I don't wanna talk about it

I said the incident to hira and she looked in deep thoughts I shaked her shoulder and she grinned coming out of her lala land

"Oh my god I'm so happy that your in-laws loved you since you were kid. It is like childhood love story. Was you and Idris best friend in childhood" hira said gushing at me and I internally rolled my eyes

"I never meet Idris and warda before" I said to her

"Now I understood why that day at mall warda was saying about her brother will like you" she said I sometimes think why can't she forget embarrassing moments about me

"Shut up. Now lunch time as started go your husband must be waiting for you" i said looking at Hira's which was vibrating she looked at it and smiled

"Okay I'm going but your going home too. You should take rest you have only two days for wedding. You're coming with me to shopping tomorrow" she said leaving the room. She know I hate shopping but she will always drag me and now I have to finish work before she comes and check on me.

I'm busy working since dadu got discharged 3 days ago. He announced my wedding on this Friday. I was least bit excited but nervous to core thinking about my groom because I remember uncle used to say that his son is stubborn but its difficult to understand how he agreed to marry on such small notice I hope he is not forced I don't want any more troubles in life.
'I wish to have wish'

Hadith of the day

The Prophet said, "Whoever said "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of a barley grain will be taken out of Hell. And whoever said: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of a wheat grain will be taken out of Hell. And whoever said, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of an atom will be taken out of Hell."
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]
