MADIYA AHMED KHAN'S POV:

I was lying on the couch,
Holding a novel in my hand,
Thinking about one person, who's been on my Mind, the whole day
I wonder how he handled me yesterday,
But most importantly why did I react that way?
I had never reacted that way ever before.
There are four more days left for my nikah.

"Be ready at five, you're going for a shopping, mariyam had called me to inform" said my mom, pouring milk in a glass.
"Mom please yaar, I don't want to go" I said with pleading eyes and she glared at me.
"I can't decline now, I already said her that you will be going with them" she said sternly.

"And ha..wear something good.. zayyan will also accompany you" she said,
Clicking pictures of her.
Yes, my mom likes to click picture.
I shook my head at her,
Except me, why is everyone in this house is crazy.
I muttered to myself.

I went to my room, and sat on the bed.
Trying to make some escape plan,
"Think madiya.. I can think of something.." I kept on chanting this, hoping I'll make some excuse,

I glanced at the time, when I saw it's thirty past five,
I heard a beep sound, as the message popped up on my screen,
Opening it I saw a message from an unknown number.

*Unknown number at 4:30
Hey.

"Who might this be?" ,
A message popped up again, and I glanced at the screen.

Unknown number at 4:30
I hope You're ready Meri jaan.

Meri jaan?,
Why am I not surprised, to see his message?
Keeping my phone aside, I went to the bathroom,
Wearing a plain white maxi, I paired it up with the black hijab,
After taking a ten minutes shower,
I came out.

Applying a little bit of powder,
I wore my heels,
Taking a last glance at myself in the mirror,
I moved out.

...................

"Assalamu alikum madiya" greeted mariyam Aunty,
"Walaikum salam aunty" I replied sitting beside her,
Aameen was sitting in the passenger seat,
And zayyan was sitting In the driver seat,
As for me and Aunty got seated at the back.

I could feel someone staring at me,
I glanced at the rear-view mirror, to notice
Zayyan already staring at me, with his charming grin on his face.
I let out a sigh,
"Doesn't he have any shame? his mother is sitting beside me, and he is staring at me. Astagfirullah" I muttred to myself,
"Did you say something madiya?" Questioned Aunty, to which I abruptly shook my head,
Aameen let out a soft chuckle, and he earned a glare from aunty.

"I'll play some song" said Aameen,
And the song started to play.

*Mareez-e-ishq Hoon main, Kar de dawaa*
(I am suffering from love, provide a cure for me)

*Mareez-e-ishq Hoon main, Kar de dawaa*
(I am suffering from love, provide a cure for me)

O o hoo...*music*

*Talab hai tu, tu hai nasha*
(You're my thirst, you're my intoxication)

*Ghulam hai Dil ye tera*
(My heart is your slave.)

*Khulke Zara jee loon tujhe*
(Let me live you freely)

*Aaja Meri saanson mein aa*
(Come in my breath)
