Together Anyhow | √ |

10. Again The Explanation

"Divorce?!" Our mothers said it together. Guess they believe a lot in marriages.

"Yes Mom. You both know that we won't be able to stand each other. This is just till we pay Junaid the money or inform the police about it and find Alizah's real parents, if they are not dead or the ones who are willingly adopting her." I elaborated to them.

"Yayyy...Nada you are my sister-in-law now." Uméma exclaimed hugging Nada, who gave her a small smile.

"Oh my God! What did you both had to go through?" Aunt exclaimed.

"My poor kids." Mom hugged me.

Phew! Finally the most dreading part is over.

"Aww...look at you two you both look so good together, right Ayesha?" Mom cooed. Here comes the cupid players.

"Ofcourse. They do, right people?" Aunt Ayesha looked at the rest of them.

And Mira, Rahim and Uméma nodded at this not to forget their cheeky smiles flashing.

What the heck?

"Mom you know I hate this dude. Still you are talking like this?" Nada whined, just like a child she is. Finally she speaks.

"Feeling is mutual."

"Fine I shall g home now." Aunt got up.

"Wait for the dinner. Afterall now we have become relatives too." Mom insisted and I facepalmed.

"No Naaz. Next time." Aunt ushered towards the door.

"Fine then I'll take Alizah with me and you will take her from me next week, okay?" Nada asked and I nodded.

"Where are you going?" Mom asked her.

"Umm...home?" That also came out as a question.

"No sweety, you are married now. That too to my son. You will stay here. With us. With Fahad."

"What?! Never in my wildest dreams." I uttered, bewildered. Gross.

"Are you guys mad?" Mom looked back and forth at me and Nada.

"A married couple doesn't live separately." Aunt piped in.

"Rahim and Mira did." I said in a heartbeat.

"They were practically in their house and if you guys want a Ruksati [where the bride totally moves in with the groom. In his house, room.] ceremony we will have it." Aunt said.

And I heard Uméma and Mira squealing.

"No I don't want more drama." Nada sighed.

"Okay then. Fahad I give you my daughter. Take care of her. Treat her like a princess because she is all I have left." Aunt came near me and gave her speech and took my hand in hers.

"And Nada? Try your best to make this marriage work." She smiled taking Nada's hand and kept it in my hand. So soft! "You guys will, right?"

"We will try." Nada lied. Of course she lied.

"Fine I'll go now. AllahHafiz (parting greeting of Muslims. It basically means God be with you)."

"Mom this all is not necessary. Please." Nada whispered to her mom.

"My only wish was to see you get married that's also done that too to Fahad. Just make it work. For me? For sake of my love. You must love me right?" Aunt Ayesha asked and Nada simply nodded. "Then do it because you love me, sweetheart."

"AllahHafiz." Nada said and hugged her mom.

"She is not living overseas okay, just the next house is ours. You can meet her whenever you want!" Mom joined in.

She can always meet her mother. Like just a block difference.

"We'll also go now." Rahim announced.

"Ya it's getting dark outside." Mira spoke.

"Thank you guys for what all you have done today. I don't know how to thank you both." Nada expressed with a smile.

"Hey! What are best friends for?" Mira exclaimed and launched in to hug her.

"Now you will also know about married life." Rahim muttered, hugging not before winking at me.

"Shut up Rahim." I hit my shoulder with his.

"AllahHafiz."

"AllahHafiz ."

And they both left. I turned my head and looked at Nada and she also that time look towards me. I glared at her who did the same to me. She gave a cry out of frustration and walked away.

Stupid.

Asalamwalaikum and hello people!! Comment and vote. Until then thank you, AllahHafiz, bye and take care ^_^
