My Wedding Short Story

1101 Words5 Pages

Flashback:-

“Amirah, you have always obeyed me, your mami we love you and just for your sake we have taken a decision.” Mamu said as he explained me about their business deal with Mr. Zameer Khan. Mamu lost his contract against him and if I don 't agree to marry this son of Mr. Zameer Khan, my Mamu will come on streets.

“Mamu I am ready for it” I said my gaze lowered and voice extremely low.
.
.
.

It was my Nikah day all I knew about my groom was that he is Mr. Zameer Khan 's son. On that moment all I was thought was only if my parents were here today.

“Amirah Hafeez Malik aapka Nikah Zohaib Zameer Khan wald Zameer Ahmed Khan se haq mehr 15 lakh Pakistani rupyon se tay payaa hai, Kya aapko yeh nikah qubool hai?” And their everything around me felt like dazed. I was probably not in my senses. But when I recollect myself I realized that harm was done. I was now a victim of loveless marriage.

I didn 't know he will ever fall in love with me or not but the only thing I knew was I couldn 't fall in love with him ever.

Today we have completed 365 days 6 hours and 25 minutes of this Nikah. That Nikah which was nothing but a business deal. Every girl on her Nikah is excited and happy and there I was depressed and alone. All this days there wasn 't a single time where we talked normally like couple either there was awkward silence or a stupid argument which made no sense.

When I was kid I always wanted my wedding to be fairytale but my Nikah was anything but fairytale.
