Chapter 1
Whatt?!", you shouted from shock.
"Hmm...your dad told me everything last night...he was literally frustrated", your mother replied as tension formed in her face. Then, her gaze gradually went lower in a minute.
" But how can they send such a proposal ma? Is it even possible? Am in any illusion? " , You said as you couldn't process the whole thing that your mother just informed you.
Yes your father's boss asked for your hand for their younger son "Walid"
Walid Bin Abdullah
" They also said if your Dad doesn't accept this proposal then he will lose his job", your mother said the last words being literally broken. " Whatt?! They seriously said those?",you asked again. Your mother hummed while a drop of tear fell from her eyes , lowering her face.
Tears also started to form in your eyes in the thought of being married to a boy whom you loved in the very first of your life...but the tears were not out of joy because now the boy is fuckin a divorced man with a title "psychopath". Moreover ,he is alcoholic. The girl he married first was from a rich family . She's in USA now but that girl was also spoiled along with him. She was his friend's best friend. Thus they met and after having a long term relationship they told their family to arrange their marriage but his family is Islamic minded also so much conservative. They failed to raise their younger son as an practicing muslim even as a normal human being but wanted one as their son's bride who will turn him into the normal flow of life and gradually toward modesty. But he was so stubborn at her matter. So his family was compelled to make him get married to her... Honestly, it was an unforgettable wedding ceremony . Yes,you went there ,you were acquainted with her too. You used to work as a volunteer...so in terms of work you went to her school and she was also a popular face there. As she was present at the fest where you worked once, you both had a little but quite a memorable conversation. You both worked, talked,laughed as you were already a gregarious person you don't take much time to build a meaningful relationship with anyone ...She is actually a good person by behaviour but you know rich kids.... friends,parties,alcohol, clubs ,one night stands etc.
Coming back to the love story , after their marriage things were going well but suddenly from the 6th month of their marriage they started to fight over many issues. She accused him and his family of physical and mental torture and so many stuffs. She also raised questions over his love for her that he just married her because driven by lust and her beauty . You heard of him raising hands on her during fights. At some point both family decided to make them separate through divorce. This transition has made a huge effect on both his life and the company's reputation. The partnership between the two companies was broke. His addiction of consuming alcohol reached at extreme level and he gradually became more aggressive that if anybody tries to touch him or go near him during his drunken state he beats him like hell. Even his family was failed to stabilize his life. At this stage, nobody from their class was ready to get their daughters married off... That's why their family was searching a poor girl from an ordinary background and can never leave him even if she wants too...a girl who will endure everything their son does...How cruel of them to take the chance of someone's poorness!
" But ma he is an alcoholic ykr... I heard that he does drink every night, what if he beats me being drunk!?" ,you started to sob at the thought of marrying him. " But what can we do now your father will lose the job if we don't agree with this proposal! And you know it doesn't matter to them losing a ordinary man of their company. Thousands are waiting to get into this company.", your mother replied. " I never want my daughter gets married to a man who is firstly alcoholic secondly divorced, but if your father lost the job what will your father do for the living he can't find another job at this age and moreover his health has also been weak, you have two younger siblings too" , your mother added while sobbing...! " Will they let me continue my study and about my dream? Will they permit?" ,you asked while tears dropped from your eyes ...." I don't know but I will request them to let you at least finish your study. They're educated I hope they'll " ,your mom assured you. " But my passion? The money you guyz invested on me for my study in these years ?Was this all on waste?Say ma" , You asked while raising your voice a bit. " But try to understand if your father lose the job you will not even be able to complete your study who will go on your expenses, our family and your sibling's study. You loved him right?" " But ma!!" " listen it is not a must for a girl to do a job but your study should be completed so fight for that " ,your mother interrupted saying this. " So is everything final?" ,you asked coldly while tears were dropping continuously and your eyes became swollen..." Mostly", your mother replied while walking away. " What if he beats me and I get killed ma?!" Your mother stopped for a moment and her lips were trembling. " Allah will save you baccha maybe these all were in your destiny" , your mother walked from there while wiping her eyes.
At this moment you were literally a mess. " How could you do that ma how could you guyz ? How can you guyz be so selfish huh? You could rely on Allah like you did always Allah would save us Allah would make up our rizk but instead you said Allah will save me how could you??? I know you guyz just agreed to this proposal because they are fuckin rich . You didn't think about the consequences", you were literally crying like a lunatic at the thought of marrying a divorced man to whom you are not the first one but the second.
A replacement
"But he's your first love Era. Just a few people in this world are lucky enough to marry their first love of life. Consider yourself lucky girl are you dumb!!! ", you saw your reflection before your eyes talking to you."
" So what ? I am not his first"
" Dumbfck does it matter?! He's a man come on it doesn't matter whether you are his first or second it doesn't matter in case of a guy. You will be his bride and that's enough. The life you could never dream will be available for you just think for a bit. "
" I don't care about money. If there is no peace what I'll do with the money . Moreover, he is an alcoholic. What if he beats me being drunk!! "
" You're really a dumb. Did you ever seen a married family man remains alcoholic for the rest of his life. You can change him by your love. In addition, he was not that alcoholic when he was married to his first wife. So he will not remain like this for long ...just endure a little bit for some days and live a happy life. You also know that he's not a bad person from heart. He is humble when he is in his right mind, he's also kind towards the poor people ykr. So where's the problem huh! "
" Yeah that's true "
" Then what's bothering you. As far as we know they won't keep you illiterate but I think doing job will be a quiet hard task. But you can try...first focus on the marriage."
"But he doesn't even love me? "
"Bro he doesn't even know what's love do you think boys like him believe in love...hell no. You have to make him fall in love with you "
"But I'am scared "
" That's your problem not others so fix this. You are going to have the new chapter of your life where so many difficulties are waiting for you . You have to fight against those girl"
At that moment you realised that you were having a deep thought with your heart and mind. You were still crying but after a few seconds you wiped your tears harshly and stood up .
" Let's see what destiny has planned for us " , you gritted your teeth with anger.
On the other hand,
" You mean Mr. Rashid's daughter? " , Walid asked his mother. " Yes. I saw her in your marriage ceremony she is such a sweet and humble girl ,you won't believe how nicely she talks. I had always she for you in my mind but they are fucking our servants. " , she said with disgust. " Mom don't look this low at people , don't forget that without our workers we are nothing. Our business are run by them. So what made you think to get me married to one of our worker's daughters? There were other poor girls though!" , he said frankly. " Oh come on , I don't wanna pick any random street girl for my son moreover the humbleness ,the beauty , the patience I saw in that girl made me come to think about her. " , She said in amazement. " So what did you plan for this marriage?" ,he asked. " Nothing much we will complete this marriage in mosque and other things will be done in our mansion .There will be a few people just our family members and her parents. " " Ohhh! " , he nodded. " But is it right Mom? " ,he asked looking straight at his mother. " Walid beta you've been suffering from so long , I can't see you like this anymore I'm assuring you will be happy. " ,she said holding his palms.
" Hmm ok " , he sighed with a smile.
" What's cooking? "
A voice appeared from behind and his mother looked at the owner of the voice and he is none other than the elder brother of Walid.
❗Wahid Bin Abdullah❗
He came and sat beside Walid and joined in the conversation. " Nothing we were talking about his marriage. How's going everything with you? " , his mother asked him casually. " Fine everything is fine. But mom what I've heard you both have fixed his marriage with that Mr. Rashid's daughter what name yaah Era? " ." How did you know her name?" , Walid asked coldly with suspicion. " Yaah don't show me this attitude she's still your finace. Mr. Rashid is actually my Facebook friend thus I got to know her name through his posts. That's it." , he replied with teasing smile to Walid. " Anyways that I was saying what make you decide to choose that girl huh mom does it make any sense? " , Wahid said making an unbelievable face. " Yahh we all talked about this already and I'm not gonna explain you now I've no energy either." ,his mother replied while walking away from there. Then he turned toward Walid and raised an eyebrow to him while smirking and asked" hey have you seen that girl ?"
" No. I have no interest." ,he replied while sighing. " Omg why ? Is she not gonna be your wife? Why don't you ?" , he asked mockingly. " Please Vaiya don't bother me, I'm already so much tired of this marriage stuffs. No more." , he said shrugging off his shoulder. " But seeing her before marriage is important you know!?" , he said with demand. " I know I will meet her tomorrow or later! " , he said with making a frustrated face. " Okay okay " , Wahid replied.
The boy Wahid is actually a mischievous one from character. Like he has already his wife and a son but he always smirks at Era whenever he sees her. That's why she kinda gets nervous whenever she sees him around.
" Just let her come in this family huh! Girl is dreaming of being a queen haha...poor people! " , he said to himself and rolled his eyes in disgust and walked away.
