Alaida:

Is my life a joke to everyone? How could they agree to get me married to Ahren bhaiya that easily? Even Aaran bhaiya too. I expected him to take my side but I'm wrong. No one is on my side except my bhabis. Both of them are trying to fix my mood. But can it be fixed? No it can't be! I feel so frustrated with everything. Why is that Fahir after me? I know I'm pretty but that doesn’t mean he have to be this much obsessive. I can never forget what he did. I will keep cursing him till the day I die. People say karma is a bitch then why karma isn’t being a bitch for that bastard? Why Allah is not punishing him for what he did?

I know I'm overreacting but someone please try to understand my situation too! I will turn 19 after two days. I'm still studying. I'm not even that mature then how am I supposed to marry someone? That too with someone older than me. We are like two different people of two different generation. Our thinking will be very different from each other. Why the hell maa even said yes? ‘So you would rather marry Fahir that bastard?’ My subconscious mind mocked me. I groaned in annoyance. “What's wrong?” Zaria bhabi asked me who didn’t left my room since baba dropped that bomb on everyone.

I looked at her belly which is now getting bigger. Shit I forgot bhabi shouldn’t worry too much. It's not good for her health. She should rest. Instead she is worrying for me. “I'm okay. Don't worry about me. Tell me whatever is going inside your mind. Don't keep everything to yourself.” She started caressing my face. That's when I broke down. At least someone is thinking about me otherwise everyone just went back to their room.

I hugged her but not tightly so that I wouldn't hurt her in any way. “Bhabi I'm still young. I don't want to get married. Why is this happening to me? I never did anything wrong to anyone then why do I always get hurt like this? No one even came to check on me. Am I a burden? I heard that daughters are usually a burden for a family. I guess my family is also thinking like that. That's why they agreed to marry me off to someone older than me so easily.” I kept saying whatever I was feeling and cried too. I feel better now to be honest.

I pulled away from the hug as bhabi wiped my tears, giving me tissues for my running nose. I looked at the doorway to find Aaidah bhabi standing there and looking at us. She came inside after closing the door. “I didn’t speak to give you time to vent out your anger.” I weakly smiled at her. I'm glad that both of them listened to me silently without interrupting me.

“I will talk to Asael.” “I will kill that bastard and end this issue by tonight.” Both my bhabi said together. I started laughing, it's funny to see how different they are from each but yet so similar to their husbands. Asael bhaiya would try to fix everything by talking and Zaria bhabi is just like him. On the other hand Aaran bhaiya and Aaidah bhabi are like ready to kill anyone at any moment. Since they are looking at me confusingly I told them the reason that I why I laughed.

Aaidah bhabi sat beside me on my right side. I'm sitting in the middle of them. “Look Alaida we both will try to do everything to help you. But remember you are not a burden. I'm sure maa have a reason for agreeing so easily. Both the brothers love you more than their life even if they don't show it. They won't ruin your life like that. Trust their decision. Sometimes the decision our family takes is the best decision for us.” Zaria bhabi said and her eyes were on me the whole time she was speaking. She is looking at me with so much love. “Zaria is right. Don't overthink baby. We are with you. Not only us but others are with you too. They also need time to cope up with this whole situation. Maybe they are feeling guilty to even come in front of you. They are also helpless so I'm sure they are blaming themselves that they can't do anything to protect you.” Both of them have a point. I think I will start crying again. “Don't cry. Sleep now. I will come to wake you up for dinner.” I nodded my head at what Aaidah bhabi said. They both kissed me on my forehead then left my room. I'm all alone, overthinking about everything. No matter what people say I can't stop overthinking. This habit won't go away just like that.

As Aaidah bhabi said she came to wake me up for dinner. I actually fell asleep. Today during dinner time everyone was quiet. No one even ate properly including me. I also didn’t said anything and came back to my room. I started watching Korean dramas to refresh my mind. I had slept earlier so I knew I won't be able to sleep. If I stay awake or try to study I will end up overthinking. That's why I decided to watch drama. Korean dramas are my escape from reality. I'm watching “Exo Next Door” Trust me this drama is so funny. It helped me to forget about everything and laugh wholeheartedly. I kept watching drama until I fell asleep.

Next morning I woke up with another bomb being dropped on me. Maa had came to my room to tell me to get ready because Ahren bhaiya is coming with his mother. Except this maa didn’t said anything else. Again I'm hurt. Why is she ignoring me? Then I thought about what bhabi said.

I freshened up then got ready. I will get scolded by maa so I wore a nice dress. I decided last night that I will talk to Ahren bhaiya and tell him to help me but without marrying me. I'm not ready for this marriage yet. I'm sure he will listen to me. I'm not sure actually but I can hope right?

(Alaida's outfit)

After breakfast Ahren bhaiya came with his maa. All of us are now sitting in the living room. His maa is staring at me with judgmental look I guess? I can't figure out what she is thinking. But hey why would I get judged? Her son is the one who is dying to marry me. I looked away from his maa. Elders started talking among themself. Zaria bhabi kept holding my hand to reassure me. She noticed my nervousness. I'm so lucky to have such amazing bhabis. “Ahren and Alaida should talk alone.” Ahren bhaiya's maa said suddenly. “Alaida take him to your room.” I glared at maa. Again she agreed so easily. What does she actually see in Ahren bhaiya? looked at bhabis then at my two stupid brothers who are sitting here like a clown instead of doing anything for their little sister. I understood that no one will say anything about this so I stood up and motioned Ahren bhaiya to come with me.

I entered in my room, immediately feeling embarrassed. My room is a mess. I didn’t thought I have to bring him to my room. Well I can use this as an excuse to make him say no for this marriage. I came back to reality by my door closing. He closed the door. Why though? Ugh I won't think about anything else! I will directly tell him what I planned to say. “Look bhaiya I can't marry you. Can't you help me in another way? You said you are powerful so even if you kill that basta- I mean Fahir no one will do anything to you. Please say that you won't marry me. I'm not perfect for you! I'm younger than you, I'm immature, clumsy, messy. Please please say no.” I pleaded him as I looked at him who is staring at me blankly.

Fear engulfed me when he started to come closer to me. I was about to move to another side but he pulled me closer to him, I kept my hands on his chest trying to push him away. But he is like an iron! I can't push him away. What the hell is wrong with him?! “You will marry me means only me. I will make you mine by hook or crook.” My eyes widened in shock. Is he fucking serious? “Listen you can't threa-” He stopped me by putting his index finger on my lips. “You didn’t heard what I said? Do you think I'm that dumb sweetheart? I can kill Fahir easily. I only came up with this plan to marry you.” I will have a heart attack if he keeps giving me shocking news like this! “Whatever I said yesterday was to win your parents heart so that they will agree. I didn’t mention anything about being able to kill Fahir because I know that way Aaran and your parents will tell me to choose that option.” He is no different than Fahir. He is also a bastard. Fucking jerk playing with my parents emotions especially his best friend's emotions.

“Will you marry me?” I shook my head as a no vigorously. Does he think I will agree easily like my maa? I'm not that dumb. “You will have to.” I looked up at him, glaring. He can't make me say yes. I will also see what he can do about this. I will go downstairs now and tell everyone everything whatever he just told me. Aaran bhaiya will kill him. But my plan got ruined after what he said next. “Or else your family will get hurt after all I'm the most powerful.” He whispered near my ear making me go numb. He won't do that! Aaran bhaiya is his best friend. At least he wouldn’t betray his best friend.

“I only care about making you mine nothing else.” Why the hell he wants to make me his? Can't these men stop being obsessed with me? I can't handle it anymore. Someone save me, please. Allah at least you help me please! “My men are outside your house. Should I tell them to bomb your house?” Tears formed in my eyes. Allah you are again hurting me. Again you have made me helpless. Again you have put me in a situation where I can't do anything to protect myself and my family.

He wiped my unshed tears, kissing my forehead. “Come downstairs and say yes. Or else the moment I step out of your house, you all will die.” With that saying he left my room. I fell down on the floor, tears streaming down my face. Why me? Why everyone hurts me? Why everyone wants to use me for their own needs? I thought I can take help from him and that he is a nice person. But I'm proved wrong. No one in this world is a nice person. Everyone is selfish in their own way. Everyone will turn their back on you when you will need them the most in your life. Once again I'm left alone by everyone. He is using my weakness, my family to make me his puppet. The worst part is that I'm letting him do that. I'm not standing up for myself. I'm a useless piece of shit and I hate myself for this.
