Flashback continues

Riyad on his bed was trying so hard to give rest to those tired eyes but sleep was far away from him and he kept thinking of tommorow.Tomorrow would be day of his Nikkah...He would become someone's spouse...he would be someone's husband..and that was a big responsibility...which he was not ready for...To say he was nervous would be an understatement...because he was angry,afraid,unsure,
nervous and felt struck...

He was angry on his mother cause she suddenly demanded him to marry a girl who was not less than a stranger to him...its not like he wanted a love marriage cause he often underestimated the power of love partners...he was not a guy to fall head over heals for any random girl,bear her tantrums,give his bank card,do sheepish things like bringing gifts,going for dates and annoying stuff ...he don't have time for all that although he was a man with strict morals and never indulged himself in haraam activities.There wasn't a specific reason for denying the wedding except one...

(Readers guess what could be the reason for him to deny the wedding???)

Marriage in two days...for a second he thought it was a lame joke but when he observed the seriousness on the face of his mom,Mr siddiqui and others he couldn't do anything but accept the bitter reality...

He was unsure...about fulfilling the obligations of a good husband...he thought he will tie knot with a mature and calm girl but Hoor was far away than those girls...She was too naive and always viewed everything in a positive way..she often stayed in her own happy bubble...In the process failed to see the challenges and difficulties of the life...She is always pampered and loved by her uncle and his family...
They were two people with opposite personalities...They weren't meant for each other..

Riyad was a keen observer...he considered everything happening in his surroundings..Though he choose to remain silent in most of the time but his eyes captured all actions and moves of people around him...thus he did registered hoors personality.... Years of working experience in field of business and marketing had taught alot to him....

Out of nowhere his sister appeared in front of him..

"Bro..don't think much!"she blurted smiling
widely

"What??I'm not thinking...I was just stressed out"he replied

"Come on bhai.Let me tell you that you are a terrible lier...I know you were lost in thoughts of my dearest bhabhi(sister in law)...Say bhai do you like her?"Maheen asked teasing Riyad

"My small baby sister... let me tell you I m not lieing...neither I was thinking about Hoor...Its better if you go and help ma in kitchen"Riyad spoke out

"Dnt call me baby sister..I m not one...got it?"she whined throwing her hands in the air

"Nah!.I will call you baby sister...Get out of my room or else I will smack your head"he groaned

"I will get going and ya Mom's calling you, come soon"she left

Riyad went to his moms room.She gestured him to sit next to her on the couch and he did as she said.Qudsiya took both hands of Riyad in hers and he saw a glint of happiness and tears in her eyes.

"What happened Ammi?"he asked wiping one of the tear.Worry evident on his face.

"I Cant believe my little son has grown up and is getting married"she said

"Baby..you know you when you were little you wouldnt do a thing without me...You needed me every time in front of your eyes...Once I left you alone sleeping and was in another room I guess you woke up started crying , came running to me saying 'Mamma dont leave me' I picked up my baby boy and hugged him..You were such a momma's boy...But now my Riyad is all grown up and ready to carry the responsibility of being a husband and I m soon to become mother in law..You know its the most blissful moment"She exclaimed delightfully
