My Four Eyed Husband

Chapter # 49

Unedited.

Fiza's POV:

"Baba Jani, Chachu, I need your permission to take our leave. He needs to be at work and I can't overlook Sadaf's school too." I said to both as I got the chance to meet them alone.

"We were just talking about it a few moments ago." Said Baba Jani and asked Chachu to continue.

"Just before Bhai Sahab's accident, a proposal had come for Maliha. The boy is her classmate and they like each other. He seems like a nice person and his family is decent too. Since all of the family is here, we were thinking to make it official."

"Oh, that's very good news." I smiled, " But isn't it too early? ... I mean ... it will take time to do the background check right?"

"I have already look into it and informed her through her mother. Besides, both of that mother and daughter don't listen to anyone once they have set their minds on something. Therefore, it is better not to delay this matter." Said Baba Jani in his usual nonchalant tone which was once only subjected towards me.

"Qasim's family were asked to do the engagement next month, but none of us can come again so soon." Said Chachu and I nodded in agreement.

"So, have you talked to his family? I mean about doing engagement this month?" I asked.

"Yes, they will be coming tomorrow to discuss the date and the venue. But before, we want to ask you that will you be staying till then?" Asked Chachu.

"I don't think it can be possible, at least not for Sheheryar. But I will ask him."

"There is no need. I will talk to him and don't tell him about the proposal too. Although everything is decided still, it is proper to ask for his advice. He is also a part of this family now." Baba Jani answered instead of Chachu.

Warmth spread into my whole body after knowing his thoughts about Sheheryar. I nodded in response to Baba Jani and excused myself. Mom didn't tell me anything about Maliha's proposal I heard of it from Sumbul and Chachi. It didn't bother me that they kept me dark yet a small feeling of sadness surfaced up, which subsided the next moment. Who cares about them when Baba Jani informed me by himself.

Lost in my own thoughts I was walking towards Nuwair's room when I was suddenly yanked into the kitchen by someone. I quickly turn around and saw Sumbul asking me to stay silent by putting a finger on her lips.

"Wh-" But before I say anything a sharp whisper made me quiet.

It was Malisha's voice saying, "Why does Baba Jani has to call everyone? And why the hell do they have to meet Qasim's family?"

Her angry tone is not unusual to me but I didn't want Sumbul to hear it. I tried t dragged her out of the kitchen but she didn't budge.

"If you want an answer then go ask your father. Just don't eat my brain... Besides, I don't understand the reason for your anger right now. Why are you so bothered if Qasim's family meets everyone?" It was Mom.

They are still the same...

Maliha's room is just next to the kitchen and their voices can easily be heard from the kitchen. I used to eavesdrop sometimes while living here and both of them were so ignorant, or should I say confident, that Baba Jani won't believe even if I tried to tell him. But at least they should be more careful when the guests are at home.

"I care less about Qasim's family, all I want is that he doesn't show up when Her husband is around."

A scowl formed on my face when Maliha put pressure on 'Her' she uses that tone for me, but what Qasim has to do with Sheheryar?
