MARRIAGE ALLIANCE FOR ZAYN AHMED (PART 1)
ZAYN AHMED's POV :
After my important meeting, I went to my cabin. Yes, I cracked the deal and they will be back to our office within a week to sign the deal, the whole day went in a blur as I was busy checking some important files.
Finally, the time has come to go back home as it is already evening. So I left my cabin and went to Ismail's cabin so that we both can leave, as it is our daily routine to go back home together.
"Ismail, it's time to go home." said me. "yeah Zayn, I was also done with work so let's get going," Ismail said while getting up from his chair after organizing the files on the table.
We both started from office to home. As our little brother Yasir Ahmed and Sophia our younger sister should have already reached home from college as both are studying at the same university where he is pursuing his second year of MBA and Sophia is pursuing her last year of graduation.
Four years ago, Dad suffered a massive heart stroke, we requested dad a lot to take retirement from business and rest at home, while I and Ismail will start working on our business ZIYA CONSTRUCTIONS, and other organizations. Hence finally after a lot of struggle, we all made dad agree to us where I, and Ismail started taking on the whole responsibilities of our home.
So mostly everyone will be in a home right now. I am damn tired but all I can think is the morning discussion in the dining room between me and whole family members.
"Ismail, what is it about morning discussion, anything serious? why are you giving a teasing smile and mom, dad, and grandma looking serious? what's the matter?" I asked Ismail with a bit of being confused. "Zayn, just calm yourself. Nothing wrong is going to happen. I too went through this, now you are also about to go through this. That's it, now don't ask me anything else as I can't reveal everything. Let them talk with you, Okay!" Ismail said with a smile on his face and it kinda gave me a positive vibe.
But, I am quite sure that something is up, what is it!! "MARRIAGE", Is it what I am thinking! Oh GOD, am I ready now for this step in my life! I took a deep breath and said "Okay Big bro".
Finally, we reached home. When we entered the living room, all family members were present in the living room. I wished them all and mom gave a glass of water to me and Ismail, I sat on a sofa chair and completed drinking water, "go and get freshen up Zayn, we need to talk" grandma said to me."Okay, grandma" I said, and I immediately went to my room.
After doing bathing, I wore a nightshirt and trousers. I left my room and went to the living room where all are sitting on the sofa couch and sofa chairs, waiting for me I guess.
I sat on a sofa chair. Saira gave me Tea and biscuits. I started sipping tea and said "From morning onwards, I have been thinking that something is there. So what is it?" I asked as normally as I can act but inside my heart, I can feel my heart beating so fast.
"Zayn, first tell us how was your day and how your meeting went?" grandma asked me with a smile on her face. Here we go, I am seriously freaking out to know what this is! And here my sweet grandma is intentionally lagging it. "Good grandma, by GOD'S grace I cracked the deal and they will come to us within a week so that they can sign the deal". I said while thinking about how I cracked the deal and how the meeting went well. "It's a good thing son, congratulations Zayn," mom congratulated me with a huge smile on her face, and I too reciprocated the same.
Everyone congratulated me and I felt soo happy due to their warmth, love, and affection. "So now Zayn, shall we talk about the matter which we decided in the morning to talk about"!! Dad said with a serious tone which meant something really serious."Yes Dad", I said.
"Zayn son you know about Nazeer Ahmed uncle right! Who is my childhood friend from Lucknow," dad asked me and I said "Yes dad, I remember him. Once when we both went to the bank for some large amount of transaction issues, Nazeer uncle was the one who helped us regarding that issue as he is a bank manager, and you introduced each other then I met him, dad, that's it. But, What happened dad?" I asked dad.
"A couple of days ago when I went for a walk in the park, I met him. And we were talking about some random things and yes Zayn you are right! I like Nazeer and had a rapport with him since childhood but when I shifted from Lucknow to Delhi, I was busy with business whereas he was busy with his job. After a long time, we met in the bank as Zayn said but suddenly his contact was missed and when I went to his office in Lucknow, he already got transferred and they don't know where he left, so from then I tried to find him, but it all went into vain." Dad said to the whole family while everyone is listening to him keenly.
"when suddenly a couple of days ago we met each other I was so happy. And when he said about his daughter, I was beyond happy because I know that Nazeer Ahmed's daughter means of course she is a Gem. So I asked for his daughter's hand for Zayn, only if u both like each other then we will go ahead about this relationship, so I asked for his daughter's picture with bio-data and also I sent Zayn's Picture and biodata to him, After looking at Zayn's Picture and biodata He was so happy and he even called Zayn as his future son in law.
Later he sent me his daughter's picture and biodata, I was so glad that I thought about this whole idea as she looks like an angel who is soo sensible and reserved in that picture.
But whatever it may be, we both decided that the final decision should be taken by kids itself." Dad is telling me everything about whatever happened between them and I was thinking about what's next..!
"I showed her Picture and biodata to our whole family, they too liked her a lot just like me. So we want you to see her picture and biodata once and then decide about it Zayn. Whether u like her or not, remember one thing no one will force you. Is it clear Zayn?" Dad said in a low tone but with complete reservedness. "Yes, Dad," I said.
"Son, if you don't like her then no one will force you, just see her picture once I am sure that you will like her." Mom said with a hint of hope in her eyes." yes Zayn, I too really liked her, she is looking soo good, she is perfect for our family, hope you too like her sweetheart," grandma said smiling widely.
"Zayn, I know you for the past 2 years well and by that, I am telling, you will like her. Go to your room, and just take a look at her picture and bio data which I already sent to your mail. Decide it yourself and then come to the dining room. We will wait for you and your answer at dinner Zayn." Saira said with a sweet smile and it kinda gave me little relief.
"Zayn bro, please accept her. She is so beautiful, you both look perfect bro".sophia said with a wide grin. "That's true Zayn, Sophia is right. But, whatever your decision may be, we will be with you Zayn". Yasir said while sitting beside me with a warm smile.
"Sooner or later you have to get married. and I have a gut feeling that she is THE ONE for you. But, still, once you look at her picture and then details about her, think a while and be back to us with your decision by dinner. Is it okay Zayn!?" Ismail big bro asked me. I was just listening to everyone and trying to understand everything.
I know sooner or later this day will come, not that I am accusing anyone or feeling bad by this all, I never fell in Love nor I have dated any girl. It's just that I never felt that connection with any girl till now. I always feel that I will love my wife infinite and will cherish her with Love, Care and affection, and be a good friend to her. But now I don't know whether I will feel that all about this girl or not. Still, I am glad that my decision matters a lot to my family.
"Okay, Ismail," said me to Ismail big bro. I smiled and excused myself from all, then got up from my chair and left to my room. After reaching my room I closed the door and lay on my bed, I clicked on the mail notification which have been sent by Saira sister-in-law earlier with a picture and details. It started opening while my heart is beating louder and louder, I don't know why I'm feeling nervous. Finally, the picture flashed on my mobile and....!!!!!
