Matters of The Heart

Chapter 11 | Surprised

"Your lying" I glare at the older women who grins and shakes her head "No at all my son in law, Ziah is willingly marrying you" she jumps again in excitement.

Why the hell are they getting so excited?!

"Stop calling me that" I mutter under my breathe not at all liking the way she is teasing me when there is nothing to be teased about "What?" With an raised eyebrow she questions me mockingly, when I give her a glare, she giggles nodding "Okay okay I won't call you son in law since you're getting too shy" I scoff at the choice of her words, shy? Yeah I am so shy that I want this ground swallow me up.

"I an not doing this" I shake my head backing away from the promise they forcefully took from me, everyone stops what they are doing that is literally dancing and hugging each other like as if today is Eid.

"Don't you dare back away, you promised us!" Uncle sam yells at me but that does not affect me but the fact that Ziah accepted this marriage is what is killing me and my nerves are exploding from the mental pressure I am feeling.

"So your telling me you won't protect my daughter as you said?" Aunty speaks in a low voice the voice that tells me she is going to cry.

Dramatic women. Here comes the emotional blackmail in which she has done phd.

"We can protect her in many other ways, marriage is not the only solution" I hold her hand in mines but she shakes her head sniffing and wiping her eyes but I see no tears in it. What can I even say about this women and her emotional blackmail.

"Okay, tell us what other solutions you have? The police didn't help us, you didn't want Ziah to know that you already know about that man who is sending you her pictures almost everyday that are secretly snapped and since last three months, he keeps record on what she does and she doesn't and how much else creepy that man will go we don't know, and you have done nothing since last three months but only boiled your blood by looking at those sent photos, the only solution is you getting married to her and only then he will leave her or else if you have some other way to protect my daughter, do say" I bite my lips not knowing what to say but my eyes drops on my Mom who is looking at me with a soft look.

"I am sorry, I understand your worry but I don't think this is—" a sigh escapes my lips when I see everyone glaring at me "Okay, I am ready to get married, happy?" I stand up but see her nodding with a grin and wiping her tears away, this bipolar women.

I leave the place as quickly ad possible not able to stand their cheers and happy faces.

The first thing I do after entering the room is lying on the bed as I stare at the white ceiling and while thinking about what is happening recently and how fast it's happening.

4 days ago the first this I received when I entered my office was an envelope in which were pictures of me and Ziah hugging and me holding her chin and cleaning her face which was smudged with ice cream and many other pics of only me and Ziah but the note left me shocked and angry.

And the fact that this is not the first time I am receiving these creepy pictures taken from far angle  only makes me disappointed on myself for not finding that person and not beating the shit out of him.

I have been receiving these since 3 months, that picture that scared me the most was her in a Robe in her room reading a book while lying on the bed,
I have contacted the police about this but nothing happened, I even hired a private detective but received nothing and when Ziah came and said me she receives gift every single day since last 6 months is what that shook me.

I thought that man was doing everything silently but I didn't know he already reached Ziah. And that dumb girl is some what proud that she has a secret admirer and that tells me why he is been threatening me to stay away from her.
