THE DON'S MUSLIM CHAUFFEUR

Forced ceremony

Razia's POV
Max left.I blocked out my father's yelling and just cried.A week later, naida's parents budged into our living room.

Mariam:where is my daughter!
Razia: I don't know.
Hakim: offcourse you do, she has eloped with that boy! You are a terrible influence on our daughter.

Razia:it is not my fault.
Mariam:yes it is.You are a shameless girl!(mom came in)
Qutub: enough! Not one more insult about my daughter! especially in my own house.You should blame yourself for being bad parents.If you had accepted their love,they wouldn't have eloped.

Hakim: qutub
Qutub:shutup! Since when did you two turn like this?money over love?
Mariam: love can't take care of people!

Qutub:but it brings happiness! Your daughter has chosen love over money, because that's what makes her happy.She knows Osman is not well off yet she chooses to stick by his side.She chose to support him financially.Think about it, should your daughter's schooling go to waste?

I understand,no parent wants his child to struggle,I understand.But the situation hasn't worked in their favor.She could easily leave him for a wealthier man,so she doesn't have to work.But she chose to stay with him, and is comfortable with working.We all don't get what we want,we just accept what we have

So if you can't accept your own daughter's wish,then don't come here.We know where she is.She respects you guys so much that she hasn't married him yet.She still has hope that you two will accept her.So please take time off and think about it.Lets go razia.

(We turned to see father standing there angrily.Mom surprisingly ignored him and took me away.I couldn't help but hug her.I have never seen her so brave .She broke down into tears.)

Razia:mom?
Qutub:am so sorry dear,I wish you didn't have to marry a man you didn't want.
Razia; it's okay mom.

Two weeks later.The dreaded nikkah.I was all dolled up, ready for a wedding that I didn't want.

I got a knock.Surprisingly the groom came in.
Yusif:Salam.
Razia:Salam.
Yusif: I want you to meet someone.

(He brought in a woman who's eyes were bloodshot red.He looked at her with so much love and compassion.He wiped away her tears)

Yusif:you know I hate it when you cry.
This is my wife,ruqi.
Ruqi:s-salam(her voice broke.I came to her.Poor woman was shaking)
Razia: please don't cry.

Ruqi: please don't marry my husband.
(This became difficult.I could never snatch away the happiness of another woman,but I was stuck)
Yusif: I love my wife.

Ruqi: then why are marrying me?
Yusif:am being forced to.Your father and my father are business partners.Your father helped my father, when he went bankrupt.And you father is asking my father to return the favor by marrying you.

My father told him that I was happily married and didn't need another wife,but your father threatened to take away his share and leave us bankrupt.

That business is what feeds us, and seeing my father like that I couldn't refuse,but now my wife is in pain,you are the only one who can help us.Say no to this marraige.
