Happy reading
AMIRA SULTAN P.O.V
" Oh no I got late today " I ran fast to my house , Ammi specifically asked me to come home early today since the groom is coming to see Zainab . I need to prepare snacks and food for the guests .
" Please Allah almighty save me from getting scolded " praying silently I was about to enter when my eyes fell on the man standing in our yard puffing smoke in the air .
" Astagfirullah ( I seek forgiveness in God) " I couldn't help but mutter silently just then his eyes snap at me even though I was barely audible .
I froze , I couldn't move but I wanted to run away but something made my feet glued to the ground , the moment his eyes take my body which was fully covered his expression crumble into distaste , like I disgust him but instead of feeling offended I was happy , this is the reason Allah Almighty ordered us to cover ourselves to protect us from the people who only wants to see women beauty not their heart .
Realising that I am still standing I drag my feet inside .
The moment I entered the house all eyes were on me , some were confused , some were relieved and some were glaring .
Well you know the glaring one , it is from Ammi and Zainab .
" Assalamualaikum ( May peace be upon you) " I said meekly, my own voice was a mere whisper to my own ear . I wonder how everyone else heard it ?
" Wa alaykumu s-salam ( may peace be upon you too) " one of the middle aged women said sitting on the couch beside Zainab who was looking at one of the most innocent girls who ever lived on this planet .
Please ask me !
There was also a man sitting beside the middle-aged woman .
Well he is handsome and I think he is the groom no way that guy smoking cigarettes outside can be the groom .
I quickly lowered my gaze and went inside but not before followed by two people .
" Alhumdulillah ( praise be to Allah ) Api you are home , we were so worried about you " Samiya looked worried that I felt guilty .
" Do you know what time it is now ??" My step mother barges in the kitchen glaring at me like always. I sometimes wish she loved me like she loves Zainab and Samiya .
" I am sorry Ammi '' I apologise instantly. It was my fault I got late today .
" Huh sorry my foot ?" She spat, crossing her arm while staring in a mocking way .
" My principal got ill all of a sudden so I went to meet her " I looked down expecting her to shout .
There was complete silence when I looked up , she was staring at me from head to toe .
I frown and look down if there is something wrong with my Abaya .
" Samiya from now on , you will wear Abaya like her too " she ordered Samiya and left the kitchen , leaving us confused .
Author p.o.v
Only if my daughter wore Abaya like her too then that monster would have rejected her .
Amreen got to know that Khalid refused to marry Amira since she was religious and wore an Abaya . He doesn't want to marry a religious girl where as Zainab is anything but religious , it's a big deal for Amreen and Zubair that she prays five times after reminding her from time to time .
" You look lovely today dear " Rabiya Khalid's relative said to Zainab who beamed at her compliment .
Amreen feeling like she was burning inside , this stupid girl getting so happy that she is marrying Khalid Mirza , she is not realising that he will brought her nothing but pain .
But what she feared most was about her daughter's life .
Will she be saved with him ??
With a Mafia ??
Whereas Osman's mind went back to Amira even though he couldn't see her face, he always imagined marrying a pious woman who would help him to get closer to his Lord .
Should he talk to Khalid about it , since Amira is going to be his sister in law . He wouldn't have any problems .
Osman quickly strengthened himself as soon as Amira entered the room with a tray full of snacks .
Osman wanted to see her face but he controlled himself. He should talk to her father first but again will he agree?
Khalid is literally marrying his daughter at gunpoint .
'' So , are you guys done talking? " Khalid entered the room like a boss , Amira quickly stepped aside. She could smell cigarettes from him. In fact , everyone in the room could .
Zubair clenched his fist , he couldn't believe this ill mannered guy was going to be his son in law .
Where Amreen prayed that he reject Zainab but deep down she knew he wouldn't do it .
" Khalid , I think you both should talk since you both are going to get married " Rabiya suggested with a smile while Zainab happily stood up .
Amreen wanted to slam her forehead on the wall .
Before Khalid could open his mouth to refuse rudely , a soft voice spoke up behind him .
" What ? He is the groom " Amira didn't realise her raised voice brought all the attention toward her , she didn't mean too but she did and she brought the attention of the worst man in the room .
Khalid's forehead creased at her questions , he slowly walked toward her making Amira eyes widen .
His each step toward her increases Amira heart rate .
Clutching the hem of her dress , fear crepting , she backed away while Khalid's dark eyes approached her way .
" Yes he is the groom , do you have any problem? " Zainab snapped, coming between them before Khalid could stand an inch away from Amira .
Amira wanted to point out that she saw him smoking cigarettes outside when he came to see the bride . It's disrespectful but she decided to talk about it later .
Digging hand in his pocket, Khalid smiled amuse , the way Zainab insulted her. He liked it while Amira was getting worried about her sister who is ready to marry someone like him .
Maybe they don't know his truth?? Amira thought .
" I think , everything is settled, bride and groom like each other , we will soon fix the wedding date " Osman stood up trying to ease the environment .
Amira p.o.v
" Khalid shall we '' that decent looking man hunted him that they should go now .
He nodded but not before his dark green eyes met mine giving my heart an unpleasant feeling .
Why I had this feeling is that he is going to be bad news for my family .
