Zaroon's POV:
Zaroon khan is a Son of Zahir khan and Aabiya Khan. He is the only child of his parents. He was pampered so much that his parents got him everything before even said by him which cause him to become a introvert.Zaroon is a man of few words,he is smart and intelligent. After graduating he started his own Softwear Company and he is working hard to make it successful. His company is doing quite great as in short span he got many clents and good projects to work on,he is happy with his work but never the less he is a Workaholic.
It was morning and i was getting ready for the office when my phone started ringing.It was Ibrahim.He is one of my close friends.
"As salamu alaikum"his excited voice came from other side.
"Walaikum as salam" I replied smilingly.
"Where are you?"He asked me.
"I am getting ready for office.Why are you suddenly asking?"I asked him.
"I want to invite you personally for that i wanted to meet you today."he replied.
"Ibrahim I already told you that i have got invitation at home and besides there is no necessary for invitation."i told him calmly.
"It's just a reason to get away from here,i am getting exhausted from all this ladies shopping please i want some fresh air and need to get relaxed."he told in his exhausted voice.
I laughed at his reply.
"Bro don't laugh even your time will come then i will laugh at your condition."he said In irritated voice.
"We will see that on time but i have a meeting in morning.we can meet for brunch by the way."i told him.
"Yes i will send you the location."
"Okay now i am hanging up. Allah hafiz"i said.
"Allah hafiz."
I hung up the call and continue doing my work. After getting ready i went for breakfast.
"As salamu alaikum ammi."i greeted her.
"Walaikum as salam,beta."she replied smilingly.
"Ammi where is abba?"i asked while pouring juice in my glass.
"He is in garden."she replied while serving me paratha.
"Ammi,don't pack my lunch i am meeting Ibrahim today and i will eat with him."i said drinking my juice.
"He is getting married,he must be busy,spare him some time."she told me.
"Ammi only he wants to meet me.He wants something important that's why."i said while smirking.
"Zaroon what important thing he wants from you? And by the way now even Ibrahim is getting married,now tell me when are you getting married?"she asked me handling my coffee.
"Ammi not this again.please."i said ignoring her first question and continue having my breakfast.
"Why are you asking him again and again he will tell us when he will be ready for the marriage. Right Zaroon?" Abba asked while sitting on his chair.
"Yes abba,sure." I replied him.
After finishing breakfast and bidding my farewell i left for office.
I finished my meeting and came in my cabin Alhamdulillah my meting went well. I sat on my chair and rested my head on headrest i closed my eyes when I remembered about my conversation in morning with ammi.
I think she is right. Now i should get married.
My thoughts were interrupted due to notification from Ibrahim he sent me a location.i called my assistant and informed him that i will be back in an hour or so.
I left my office and started my car using GPS. I halted my car in front of a cafe. After parking my car i went inside and sat on a corner table little away from the crowd. I sent the text to Ibrahim that i have reached. After texting him i looked around when my eyes fell on a girl she was sitting across my table so I was able to see her from far.
She was wearing dark blue simple hijab around her pale face.She was looking tired and irritated. She put her head on the arms on table. She was looking irritated but so cute and chilidish. I smiled seeing her.
Wait why i am staring at her?
I should not stare at her like this.
Astagfirullah! (God forbids!).
I started checking my mails but after few minutes i could not control my self and again looked in her direction. Now she was munching on her sandwich and drinking her shake. She was looking so cute just seeing her gave me happiness. She started looking around and I immediately looked back in my phone.
Few seconds later i saw her getting up and tying her veil. She was wearing black abaya that was so loose that it doesn't give idea about her figure and only her wrist watch was peeking out from the sleeves of abaya which was also loose. She left from there. I was still looking at the direction from where she just left. It gave me a different kind of feeling. She was perfect example of modesty.
"Hey where are you lost?"Ibrahim said coming towards the table.
"Nowhere"i replied.
After chatting for sometime and having food i bid a bye to him and left from there.
But that girl was on my mind and I can't help but think about her.Just like that day passed and I returned to home.
I went downstairs for dinner after freshening up.
After thinking a lot i have finally decided that it's time i should get married and settled down in my life after all marriage completes our half deen and besides it's sunnah also.
"Ammi i am ready for marriage."i said putting morsel in my mouth.
"Are you serious?"she asked me looking shocked.
"Ammi only you were forcing me and now when i am ready you are getting shocked."i told her calmly.
"Okay tell me which kind of girl you want?"she asked me getting excited and I don't know from where again the girl in the morning i saw came in front of my eyes.
"Umm i will tell you later about that."I simply shrugged my shoulder.
After finishing dinner i came back to my room and sat on my bed and started working on my laptop.

Few days later:
I woke up after feeling sun rays on my face. I opened my eyes slowly and took my phone to see the time it was 12 in noon.
Oh god i slept for that long. But who cares let it be i was tired after my exams. This is the time to relax.
I sat up in my bed and after a few moments i felt like i came back in this world so i put my feet on the floor and started walking towards washroom.
After getting freshen up i went downstairs.
"As salamu alaikum mamma!"i said in loud voice.
"Walaikum as salam,woke up?"she told me while coming out of the kitchen.
"Yes mamma but first give me something to eat i am so hungry!"i told her.
She gave me scrambled eggs,paratha and my tea.
"You are the best mamma!" I told her putting food in my mouth.
She smiled looking at me.
"Okay now when you are at home i want you to clean your dressing table and check once if you want any jewelry?" She said sitting across me.
"Why mamma is there any wedding?" I asked her still eating.
"I knew you would forget. Your cousin Ibrahim is getting married. I have already told you about it."She said.
"Mamma I don't want to attend any wedding." I told her getting irritated.
She gave me a glare and before she can say anything my phone started ringing. I saw caller id and my frown turned into smile.
Afiya is calling me. Afiya means Afi. She is my best friend. She is my distant cousin also but honestly I don't know how is she related to me. She is my dada's sibling's son's daughter. See i know it's kinda complicated. Let it be. We met at 10th std coaching class and we were together in 11-12 std also. So we became best friends. Now she is doing her internship in Interior designing.
"As salamu alaikum finally got time for me?"i said.
"Walaikum as salam, huh like you always wait for my phone call,you could have also called me!"she said.
Like that we chatted for sometime and then i told her.
"Are you going to Ibrahim bhai's wedding?"i asked her.
"I don't want to but mammi is not going to spare me this time."she said.
"Same here!"i told her.
" If we both have to go then there is no problem!"she said getting excited.
"Yeah if you are coming then I don't think there will be any problem!"i said in same enthusiasm.
" Then it's decided,we are going!"she said.
"Yeah!"i replied.
After talking for sometime we cut the call and decided to prepare for WEDDING.
"Mamma,when are we going?" I asked.
"After asr there is nikah and then walima at night."she replied.
"And wear that seagreen colour gown you have wore that only once on eid!"she said.
"Okay!! Anything else Ma'm?i asked.
"Naah now go and start getting everything ready for evening and yes get ready nicely."she told me in a stern voice.
I frowned at her but eventually i have to get ready nicely as she said.
I came back to my room and sat on my bed scrolling through my whatsapp messages when i got a message from my college group where they were discussing that our results would be out most probably by tomorrow. I started getting nervous,no matter how much i have prepared for my exams or how nice i have written my exams,I always get this Anxiety before my exams and results.
Ya Allah!Please give me strength and do what is good for me.
Praying silently i got up to prepare things for the Wedding.
