ahar took small bites of her meal while she read some book. This was the first time in ages the Roma family was eating in silence.

Asim glanced around at everyone who was busy with their courses.

He wanted to bring up the matter, but he didn't know just how!

Sahar told him about this decision long ago and now he realized that it was time that he talks about it with the family.

He saw Sahar getting up as she finished dining and went towards her room.

Is now a perfect timing?

Should I just mention about it?

Ugh!

Why does this feel so hard? It's not like it's my marriage!

He cleared his throat and started.

"I was wondering if it's time to marry Sahar off?"

Cool start, bro!

Everyone shot up their eyes towards him and he gulped.

"Yeah, I was wondering the same." Yasa cut in.

Oh, thanks for the save support, Yasa!

Their father looked thoughtfully at the two of them and said,

"As long as it's the right man, I'm up for it."

"Well, do you have someone in mind?" The grandfather asked.

"Not really." That was his reply.

"But I guess, she has someone in mind." Asim voiced out hesitantly.

"Really, after all this time?" Kalim asked annoyed and Abed rolled his eyes.

"Hey, you don't mind if I borrow it from time to time, right?" Yazeed asked with mirth and excitement in his eyes.

Abed shot him a glare, making Yazeed huff.

"Umm, who are you again?" Abed faked a confused expression.

"C'mon, it's been like six years you haven't bought a real car!" Kalim contributed to Yazeed's excitement.

"I can't wait till you sign the papers and then you are officially taking the new born baby home!" Yazeed threw his head back and said it in a breath.

But Abed just gave him a straight face and rolled his eyes.

"Yes, it's your bank who's keeping me waiting." Abed complained.

"Hey, I don't own it, I run the damn bank." Yazeed defended.

"That's the thing, you suck at running the damn bank." Abed spat.

"Hold on a minute, if it wasn't because of my bank, you wouldn't have been able to buy your damn car!" Yazeed scowled.

"Your bank?" Abed let out a laugh "Okay, how many customers did you have for the last whole month? Oh, I will tell you, One, who is me!"

"You think thats funny-" Abed cut him off.

"After I sign the papers, I will probably will not even know you." Abed narrowed his eyes at him.

Yazeed got up from where he was sitting and came to face Abed.

Abed had the most bored expression in the world.
