If dreams come true !

Finally, the day has come when I have to do my wedding shopping. My mother first takes me to my house which my father had taken for me and said that we will assign a decorator for it to decorate.  When I see this house, I miss my father very much. After leaving there, we go shopping and when we reach home after shopping, my phone rings. “Maheen I have selected a dress for you of my choice. I am sending a designer to take measurements.” said Asad. Everyone at home is busy in their preparations. Everyone was waiting for the same day. The month of October has finally arrived. My mother's nervousness has increased since morning. She was worried regarding every preparation of the wedding. "It's time to go to the salon." Mom said to Maheen, “Get ready quickly” Mom instructed. I rush out for the salon. Maheen’s phone rings in the salon. “Maheen I have something to talk to you. Could you just come for a while.” Asad requested. I said “Ok”. He gives me the keys to his house th...

One morning my mother says that someone who knows my aunt will come to see me. I also get ready. In the evening the boy’s mother and sister come to meet me. I ask my mother whose these relatives are who have never woken up before. The next day the phone rings. It was the same aunty's phone. Mom answers. Aunty says we like the girl. Give me the date of the engagement. Mom asks her to wait a while. I asked whose son you have not seen nor the boy has seen me. Mom said they already know us and we know them so there is no need to meet the boy and on Saturday there will be an engagement planned so you have to be ready tomorrow then we will go shopping. On Saturday morning after praying I asked Mom about all preparations. The day went on and all of the family gather at my place. The makeup artist has also been called to the house. I was feeling nervous in all of those situations. At that time my mother came and said to the sisters, “Keep Maheen ready. When we call, bring her”. Everyone is...

 Maheen said listen to me Asad I just came here to talk to you next time do not call me. My mother will not like this and saying this I leave in anger Asad comes running after me and grab my hand and put me in the car and I also avoid creating such an awkward situation in front of people so I sit quietly in the car and finally he brings me to the beach where we all friends used to go and now he apologizes to me and promises not to leave me again. Asad wants to know everything that happened with me in these ten years. I told my story. After graduated from university, I tried hard to do a master's but Dad and his brother said we don't want her to do the job and we will marry her soon. Time was passing by. Our life was going on so happily that all of a sudden my brother got sick.  Everything was going well until then but gradually our life took a turn for the worse and the brother became so ill that he lost his job. All the responsibility was now on Dad’s shoulders. However, Dad ...

Two days later my mother's phone rings and I receive her phone. A voice comes from the front. I am Asad Maheen's friend. Can I talk to Maheen? Then he asks how I'm doing and I say everything is fine and he hangs up the phone. I wonder how he finally got home and how he found out about my situation even though he had never even tried to contact Sarah and Ayesha. Sometimes I would talk on the phone with friends but I never got in touch with anyone and I thought he must have moved on like others in his life. I don't know why he came back to my life and for what purpose.  It's been a week since Asad's call again today. This time my mother has received it. He asked me for a meeting outside. I said I’ll ask my mother and will call after a while. I hang up the phone and ask my mother.  She agreed as she also likes Asad. The next day when I have to go out with Asad, I am getting ready. My mother is instructing me to take care of myself and not to be late. I requested As...

At the point where I am today, this world seems to be different. Everything has changed in ten years because life has seen so many ups and downs.   The financial crisis has always been a problem for the family, but I have learned to live in this situation and was thinking that it is good that I did not say yes to Asad, otherwise, what would my mother do alone today.   God's glory is unique. What happens is for the good. Present (After 10 Years)  I come to the door with the voice of my mother calling me to open the door. I am standing quiet after opening the door. A voice comes from the front. Aunty, I am Maheen's university friend Asad. He enters the house but I just stand there watching him. He comes home for the condolence of Dad and I am still lost in my thoughts my mother asks me to bring tea and I leave thinking that How did he find out about the house and how did he get here? I serve him the tea and he is talking to my mother. He asks me about what I did in those ...

The last semester is gone and I don't even know how four years have passed. Everyone is busy preparing for their future. What will they do in life after graduating from here? Someone was going abroad, someone got a job, someone was going to get married to give a new twist to their life. There were rumors in our house that when Maheen finished her studies, we should marry her as soon as possible. I was lost in the thoughts that reside in my heart.   I could not speak to anyone because if I had said it, I would have lost the trust of my parents, although Dad was very open-minded that even if I had told him, he would have agreed, I could not speak about what I want. Everyone had the last meet-up to plan the convocation at the university   Asad also came there and when I found out that Asad was going to Europe from tomorrow's flight forever. I was shocked to hear what he told me. I asked him why he didn't tell me before. He said I didn't think it was worth it, so there'...

If Dreams Come True !

10 years Before :   After finishing school and college I decided not to study further in life. Leaving no choice behind I finally entered the stages of further studies.  I made this choice considering the conditions at home, otherwise, I would never have been interested in studies and seeing my friends, I used to say that one day I too have to marry. Well, the first day of university and mom and dad seeing lovingly getting their darling ready; praying, and walking on my new journey was the most beautiful feeling that I ever had and that bike ride with Dad was a beautiful journey of life. On the first day of class, the teacher was introducing everyone to the whole class, suddenly on the door taking the title of "Late Comer".   He entered the classroom, the teacher interrogates him, asking the reason for being late and he said sorry for being late on the very first day. Studying in a private university is like attending school in which everything has to be done on time. M...

E X P R E S S  W H A T  Y O U  F E E L 💕 Love is the most exquisite thing in the world and the first feeling that we ever get from others after coming into the world and perhaps it is the feeling that we sometimes give to others. There are different styles of love seen through and success in every style is achieved when we see the same emotions from our opponents that we have in our heart for them. So here I am trying to present the first link of the same love.  Summer afternoons are quiet everywhere. People are exhausted from the heat. Everyone is busy with their work. I'm sitting by the window in my room thinking about old memories. My mother is taking a rest in her room and the doorbell rings.  I rush to open the door and ask who it is, but when I don't get an answer from the front, I open the door and get shocked. Suddenly past appears before my eyes. ( To Be Continued......)
