Zina's POV
Two days later
3:11pm

Surprisingly mama has been good to me for the past two days she hasn't been taunting and telling me to do unnecessary chores, Alhamdulilah. I'm happy about it but I'm also suspicious about her sudden change towards me,does this mean that she found a way for me get married the same day as sofi? To who? I hope it's not ammar or anyone I don't know

I know I sound really stupid now-in fact I am stupid how could I have not agreed to marry ayman!? Gosh! Why I'm I such a complicated human being, one minute I'm in love with him and the next I'm not.Sometimes I feel like banging my head against the wall multiple times

I sighed in relief as I bounced on my bed reminiscing about my last call with ayman;he said he still loves me and is hoping that I will give him another chance but it's okay if I don't feel the same he doesn't want to pressure me into something I will regret

I told him that he should give me some time to think about it, and here I am thinking about what to say for the past 3 hours

Okay let's do this,i sat up and opened my side drawer, I picked up my journal and pen

If I don't know what or how to feel then I will just let a game decided it, stupid bipolar disorder and disrupting my feelings

I wrote down our names on a page and cancelled the letters we have in common and counted the ones that I didn't cancel, it was six I then wrote F L A M E S, I counted to 6 and it fell on S which stands for secret lovers making to blush and giggle

"I'm i safe this one that you are blushing and giggling to your self" Sofi said poking her head into my room, I quickly closed the book and hid it under pillow

''yeah you are safe" I rolled my eyes"what do you need" I asked looking at sofi who has fully entered the room, this really has put me in a good mood I can't stop smiling

"Oh yeah, mama said that you should come downstairs ya Mahmoud has arrived"

"Oh I will be there in a jiffy" I replied standing up and she took that as a cue to leave

I wore ya zafeers black hoodie that has an inscription "DEAD" in the front and my black sweatpants, I grabbed my white beanie and covered my hair with

I actually don't know what or how to feel about Mahmoud being my cousin and his mom being my aunt, it's actually very weird and he is cold and his eyes looks dangerous, whenever our eyes clashes a cold shiver always runs down my spine unlike his mum, but I feel a bit of sympathy towards him but then again he leads the freaking Mafia!! If I miss behave around him will he kill me? Will he ship me off to another country? Will he chain and ask his men to beat me??? One thing is for sure I'm scared of him! As in really now that I know who he really is. I've watched to many movies to know how the Mafia boss acts, they are cunning that's for sure

"As'salamualaikum" I salamed entering the living room and they all answered

"Sannu gimbiya sai yanzo ki ka daman fito wa(well done queen its now you decided to come)" mama sarcastically welcomed me but I just smiled and ignored her

"Zina is their anyone you love" Ammi asked with a warm smile, okay why is she asking me this?

'' Yes" I replied not even a tinge of shyness in me, what's there to be shy of? She seemed surprised by bluntness why though she is the one that asked me

"Toh mara kunya waye shi (shameless girl, who is he?)" Mama glared at me with her nose flared up

"Ayman ne" I smiled

"Toh baza ki aure shi ba (you won't marry him)" mama fired making my smile turn upside

"Ban gane bazan aure shi ba (I don't understand that I won't marry him)" I shot back biting my tongue to refrain myself from shouting

"Keh mind your tounge when you are talking with me" mama furiously glared pointing her finger at me

"Ya khadija tun da ta ce(since she said) she loves someone else let's just leave it" Ammi interfered in their argument

"Keh Zeenah I have already chose a husband for you, I won't even tell you when you will get married or to who since you have misbehaved" Mama shouted ignoring what Ammi said

"Toh shi kenan Allah ya bamu zaman lafiya" I muttered and excused myself

The moment I entered my room I bursted into tears, I brought out my phone and dialed ayman's number with shaky hands and he picked up on the 3rd ring

"Baby" he whined making me burst into uncontrollable tears

"What happen" he worriedly asked and I narrated everything that mama told me and what I told her

I heard him sigh before saying "Zinat dear you should marry the man your mom chose for your, she is doing this because she has your best interest at heart.Be the good daughter you are and agree with this marriage,its not like i don't love you or anything, by Allah I do, I want to be selfish and say run away with me but I can't let you go against your parents wishes" ayman said even though his heart feels like it's going to explode due to pain

"But ayman-''

"Happy married life in advance zinat, be a good a wife and take care of yourself, I'm always here for you don't forget that" Ayman said cutting the call without waiting for my reply

Author's POV
The living room

"Ya khadija you know she has mental issues you shouldn't have done that" Ammi tried reasoning

"Umm" mama just hummed uninterested just then Mahmoud entered the living room

"Good evening aunt, ammi" Mahmoud greeted sitting next his mother

"Fine Mahmoud we called you here to talk about something very important'' Mama replied with a straight face, just because she wants him to marry her daughter doesn't mean she would be lenient to him

Mahmoud nodded giving her permission to go ahead

"I want you to marry zinat'' Mama said making his eyes to shot up and look at her like she has grown ten heads

"Mahmoud I want you to also marry zinat, please do it for me'' Ammi said holding her son's hand, everyone can see that he is trying his best not to have an outburst

"No Ammi I won't marry zinat, that's final" Mahmoud spoke looking straight into mama's eyes daring her to say something, when she didn't he stood up and left the house

"You should convince him" Mama said standing up and making her way to the kitchen leaving ammi to dwell on her thoughts.....
