Iram P.O.V.
Its a year and 3 months to my first Birthday that i celebrated with my friends ....
I m sitting on my bed recalling the happy moments of my life....as a baby , i grown , in first class , in 8th class , 10th n 12th class , farewell , meeting friends , Meeting Ayaan , how he helped me , support me , our result days , my birthday....
Suddenly my phone vibrated , bringing me back to present, ofcourse whatsapp message was there....
We have a surprise - Afreen
Which surprise - me

Its okay if its in combination ...okay - Afreen
Okay mata ji ( Mother/ ammi/ mom) 🙏 - me
I then closed my mobile after having some talks with her , i then went to my wardrobe to view that i got a gift from my Mamu that was white suit with blue embroidery , my luck .....but to confirm more i called her..
' Asslamualaikum ' i said
' Walaikum As salam ' she said in happy mood
' Actually i have a white suit but has blue shades ....is it okay .....' i said thinking whats the surprise....
' Send me pic ' she said
' okay ..allah hafiz ' i said and disconnected the call.
I send the picture and she said its okay so i was tension free for dress.....
Ayaan P.O.V.
' salam Bhai

I got a msg from Sadiq ....surprise ....what surprise.....uff!
Next day
Iram P. O. V.
I was waiting for Afreen to come and pic me up. I was dressed in white suit with Blue shades.... I saw the car..... Sadiq bhai and Ayaan was also there..
' Asslamualaikum ' I said and Sat on the back seat..
' Walaikum Assalam ' they said...
After few minutes of driving, we reached the hall..... The driving was silent... And soon the car came to halt and there was a huge hotel.... For marriage and other parties...
What is the surprise? Are they making me married? No no they can't do that..... But then.....is someone getting married?..... Wait..... Where are my other friends?... This idea clicked me and I saw Afreen with confused look..
'Have Patience Iram' Afreen said as if reading my mind... And I nodded
' Let's enter the hall ' Sadiq bhai said with a wide smile....
We entered the hall and there was a announcement,
' Ladies and Gentlemen,finally it's the time for the engagement of the beautiful couples '
And then from left side came Tabassum, Zara, Farah and Shifa and from right side came Mansoor bhai, Aaban bhai, Faizaan bhai , and Rafeeq bhai.
After few minutes, the rings were exchanged, and I was shocked with such a surprise....
But also over excited to congratulate them...
After congratulating them and having dinner, all friends decided to have chit chat and so we headed towards the garden near the hall.
The sky was mesmerising with a full moon shining brightly towards us as if was happy by the engagement of my friends and the stars were twinkling with same feeling...
Then I saw my friends happy and smiling... But wait.... I focused and then saw we were looking different from the guests of the party and wait...
I focused more to find I and Ayaan; Afreen and Sadiq bhai ; Tabassum and Mansoor; Zara and Aaban ; Farah and Faizaan ; and Shifa and Rafeeq were in matching dresses...... I was cursing Afreen under my breath seeing me and Ayaan wearing same combination.....
Afreen and Sadiq bhai 👆
Shifa and Rafeeq bhai👆
Zara and Aaban Bhai👆
Tabassum and Mansoor bhai👆
Farah and Faizaan Bhai👆
And finally me and Ayaan.... 👆
I was so angry on Afreen seeing this.... Afreen you will regret after what you have done...... Ahh...
Soon I saw Afreen coming to me ( yes I was sitting on the swing which was far from the tables and chairs where they were sitting)
' So how's the surprise ' she said giving me the chilled Rooh Afza ( a drink not alcohol one but can be called as sherbet, a sweet drink)
' It was almost a shock but tell me how's that happened ' I asked out of curiosity . She smirked and I looked at her in confusion.
' Actually.... A...... You remember the day after our meeting with our principal ' she asked
' Yup ' I replied taking a dig of the drink
' That day they all confessed their feelings for all my friends and and... ' she said looking at me..
' And ' she gulped
' no nothing...... Yes and I went to them they confessed their feelings too and when I talked to their mothers they all accepted ' she said hesitatingly
I looked at her asking ' so when is their nikkah ? '
' after the internship maybe or after they start their jobs ' she said drinking sherbet
' Can I ask you one thing? ' I asked her in strict manner
' Wh..wh..what? ' she said
' Why is the dress code not same for us and the guests? and ya why I and Ayaan are wearing same combinations? ' maybe I sounded angry but yes how can she without my knowing ....maybe I must be rude for it but ya I feel then that I m in wrong path and yup what will others say seeing us like... Ahhh...
' Look Iram, I will explain but calm down, I will tell everything but please don't break our friendship and don't do an wrong please first listen to me completely then I will listen to you then we will decide for that... ' she blurted out everything in one breath
I nodded as a yes and she took a deep breath before starting....
' The same day when Mansoor and all confessed their feelings for Tabassum and all..... ( she gulped) Ayaan also said something ( she looked at me)...
He said that he loves you. M. M.. M. Means love at first sight... Okay.. Okay..... So after their engagement news I told this to all except you and Ayaan too when we all were discussing about the arrangements and and.... And... '
' and what Afreen ' I said sipping the drink completely
' We want you and Ayaan to get married ' she said and I split out the sherbet and asked ' What? '
' Yup ' she said.
' And what does we means ? ' I asked
' All except you ' she said
Ya naturally Iram all except you wants that..
' So you are confessing his feeling to me ' I said and she nodded
' Now it's my turn to tell you right? ' I said and she nodded.....
'So listen' .....i started......
' Afreen, you are my best friend and you know me very well how I am.... You know I hate boys; their attitudes and egos and dominant character make me hate them...... They always torture girls to make them live as they want , and so after seeing all the fights of my relatives I ended up concluding to not to marry in my life and my mind will not change... ' I was interrupted by her..
' but Iram, marriage is half of our deen and.. ' now I interrupted her...
' First listen Afreen, then we will conclude later ' I said and she nodded
' See I have always seen the fights of all my relatives after their marriage, my uncles and aunts , both maternal and paternal...fight daily on every word each other spoke... and even later, the paternal uncle and aunt separate despite of thinking about their kids.... my Nana and nani ( Maternal grandparents) fighted a lot , they have no understanding and love between them at their old age. And last but not the least my parents... My father has given my Mother one talaq when they were newly Wedded and was continuing but my Dadi ( paternal grandmother ) covered his mouth with her hands and told them to talk and end the fight.... But still their fights make me cry and you know... ( I started crying ) ...one day I saw them fighting badly, when I was in class 3rd , my father was having his shoes in his hand and my mother was having a rod in her hands and they were beating each other..... ' I started crying loudly........ ' Afreen I saw same thing many times..... I have seen such fights of my parents and many other fights too of many people..... And you are telling me to get married......... I. I... I. Will not be able to handle these if it happens with me, ( but I pray not to happen ) I am emotional.... Very emotional girl....... I have a small heart for this...... Please don't say it again.... I will be in depression if I ever thought of it... Please.... ' I said and she hugged me and I cried till I felt a relief in my heart... We separated...
' I am sorry for it Iram... I will not force you but remember if Allah wants you to get married whether it Ayaan or anyone else, it will happen,, it's your destiny to be married then... Okay... And sure will not repeat this again after seeing such a drama queen Iram Khan..... I will regret if I do ' she said and I smiled listening the last part... She smiled too.....
