I took the gift boxes from the table and ran downstairs to put them in the car. So I am Aziya Hussain , an IAS officer. Everyone thinks that as an officer, I would be very strict , punctual and disciplined but i didn't have a single talent like this. Being the youngest in the family, I am the naughtiest person you will ever met.
Being an IAS officer doesn't mean I can't have fun , since I only have a single life to live.
I know I said too much about myself so let me tell you about my family. So I love with my parents and my elder sister and today is my aapi's ( sister) wedding and I was doing it's preparations. My aapi Aayeza Hussain is getting married to our father's friend's son , Riyaz Malik.
Although it was an arrange marriage, they both looked like they are so in love , like I don't know if I am right but they look cute together. My to be brother in law is handsome , like bro he is one of the most eligible bachelor in whole Delhi and India. Not like I am drooling over him but the truth is truth. And he is the CEO of one of the leading companies in the world but still his behaviour is very down to earth like I met him three to four times only still I can say he is a good person and his family is also good. His parents are just like mine caring and sweet and his both sisters esha and Alishba are love , we become friends in a short time itself.
On the other side my aapi , she is a hardworking girl, her dream is to become an air hostess and she is still trying to get there. Hope she will become one.
You have some other work to do right now! My subconscious said disturbing my thoughts.
I shook my head and ran towards the car. After putting the boxes in the car , I came back and started checking other prepration when two person came and stood infront of me.
" What ? " I asked looking between my both dumb best friends , Minal and Arhaan.
" Would you like to tell us where is your dear phone ? " Minal asked with the best sarcastic smile possible when I realised I don't have my phone with me.
" It's in my room hehe " I said sheepishly only to hear them yelling at me.
" Are you serious? " They both almost yelled in unison making me put my hands in my ears.
" We were trying to call you from past 1 hour but here you are roaming without your phone " Arhaan said looking at me while minal was already sending me death glares.
Gosh these two....
" I am not roaming okay I was doing preparations " I said defending myself.
" Leave that you are not ready yet ? Are you planning to miss the nikkah?" Minal said looking at me from head to toe.
" No way I was going to get ready , just these two boxes are left to put in the car , I will just come till then wait in my room " I told them and took the boxes and ran towards the car . After putting them I asked the driver to take them to the venue and came back.
I hurriedly ran towards my room to get ready. Mom , dad and aapi had already left for the venue since aapi have to get ready and it was important for mom dad to be there. Only I was left but no worries I will get ready quickly.
I reached my room and get inside only to saw Minal and Arhaan sitting on my bed and using there phones.
" Guys what are doing we are getting late " I said looking at both of them. They both looked at me for a second and then again started using there phone.
What is this behaviour god??
" We are already ready you are the one who is not ready yet " minal said with her eyes still on her phone.
" I know that and that's why I want you both to get the hell out of my room so I can get ready" I said and literally pushed them out of my room.
" Get ready fast or else we will leave you here" I heard Arhaan yelling.
" Shut up ! " I said narrowing my eyes like he is seeing my eyes.
Ajiya you don't have time , get ready fast !!!
I immediately rushed towards my wardrobe and took out my outfit and changed into it. I did a minimal makeup and let my hairs open in loose curls. I wore my heels and I was ready. I looked at the time and damn it exactly took me half n hour to get ready.
Wow aziya !.....what a speed !
I chuckled at my own thoughts when someone knocked the door and I knew who was there.
I opened the door not before taking a glance of me in the mirror and as I opened the door , Arhaan and Minal entered in my room yelling at me.
" Aziya are you r---" minal stopped as she saw me.
" What ? " I asked looking at them.
" You are looking freaking beautiful " she said looking at me with wide eyes while Arhaan nodded to her statement.
" I know that " I said flipping my hair while she shook her head.
" Do you know you are an idiot ? " She asked sarcastically smiling.
" Yaa because I am your friend" I replied with the same sarcastic smile.
" If your talks are over can we please leave for the venue " Arhaan said looking at us while we nodded with a chuckle and left for the venue.
________________________
" God I will miss the nikkah " I said getting irritated from the traffic. We are standing here from past 20 minutes but this traffic... ughhh...I swear if I missed the nikkah I will literally broke that damn signal light.
You are an IAS officer, you can't break the signal. My subconscious mind said .
I know that don't remind me !
" Don't worry aziya we will reach there on time " Arhaan said drumming his fingers on the staring wheel while I just nodded and silently prayed to Allah Miya.
Allah Miya please help us reach the venue in time, I literally don't want to miss my only sister's nikkah. Please help us.
After waiting for 10 more minutes the traffic finally ended and Arhaan moved the car towards the venue.
Thank you so much Allah Miya gi...
As we reached the venue I immediately came out of the car and rushed inside thinking that the nikaah might be done but thank God it wasn't. I saw mom talking to someone and moved towards her.
" Mom " I said and she turned to me. She excused herself and took me with her to a corner.
" Didn't you come too early? " She asked with narrowed eyes while I smiled seepishly.
" Don't smile" she said and I stopped smiling.
" Mom why are you being angry, see I reached before the nikkah " I said to her.
" You are not on time , We were waiting for you " she told me while I bite my tongue.
It means I am late!
" Acha I am sorry please forgive me " I said with the best puppy eyes while she just sighed.
" No one can say you are an IAS officer by looking at your behaviour" she said while I scowled.
" Hey it's not necessary for an IAS officer to be in discipline all the time " I said defending myself.
" Yeah yeah I know " she said dramatically while I chuckled hugging her.
" What's going on here " we heard dad's voice as we broked the hug.
" Mother- daughter love " I said while he kept a hand on his heart .
" Yeah all love only for your mom, I am nothing na " he said showing fake hurt while me and mom giggled.
" Aww I love you na " I said hugging him while he grinned hugging me back.
This is what we were , a happy loving family. My parents are the best parents one could ask for and I felt blessed to have them in my life.
" If all the drama is done then aziya ho and get your aapi here , we have to start the nikkah" mom said while I nodded and moved towards aapi's room. I reached there and opened the door of her room moving inside
" Aapi mom is calling y- " I stopped as I looked around the room. It was empty. Aapi was not there.
I checked the washroom thinking maybe she will be there but she wasn't.
Where the hell is she gone???
I tried to call her but she wasn't picking up my call. God aapi where are you ? I was thinking about how to find her when I saw a white paper on the table placed there.
I took the paper in my hands and as I read it I felt like the ground slipped beneath my feet. No way it can happen. I closed my eyes then again opened it thinking maybe I have read wrong but no it wasn't.
The paper in my hands was a letter written my aapi -
To all my family and Riyaz -
I am sorry to hurt you all but I can't do this marriage. A day before yesterday I got to know that my admission is granted for air hostess training and it's going to start from tomorrow. I can't leave this opportunity or else my dream would be incomplete. Hence I am leaving.I hope y'all will understand me and forgive me.
~ Aayeza
My heart was pumping fast in my chest. I didn't knew what to do, how to tell everyone that my aapi ran away from her own marriage.
I can't believe my aapi did this , like seriously? She was the perfect daughter anyone would ask for than why did she did that? She could have joined the training after her marriage, no one was going to stop her.
I don't know what will happen when mom dad and especially riyaz and his family will get to know about this.
I was standing at the same place thinking what to do when mom and dad entered.
" Aziya I asked you to bring Aayeza down and you are standing here " mom said as he and dad came towards me.
Mom looked around the room probably trying to find aapi and when she didn't she again looked at me.
" Where is aayeza? " She asked looking at me while I was just looking at them trying to find the right words to tell them about the situation.
" Aziya beta where is your aapi ? " Dad asked but I was still silent. I can't tell them, I don't have the guts to do this.
I silently handed mom the letter. She looked at me and then read the letter and her expressions changed.
" What's written in it ? " Dad asked while mom was frozed. Dad took the letter from her hand and read it.
" What is this? " Dad asked looking all shocked.
" S..she ran away. Our daughter ran away from her marriage " mom said with a horrified expression while I was just looking at them with numb expressions.
" WHAT!? " We heard a voice and turned towards the door only to find Riyaz and his family standing there.
Damnn it ! I don't know what is going to happen now.
