"Did you hear?" Hamad asked holding her shoulders. If he was creating suspense, it must be something big.
"What?" Inara was impatient to know.
"Something big happened to our backs and we were unaware. You will be shocked to know what is happening in this house" Hamad kept raising her curiosity.
"Phoot bhi chuko" She hit his arm impatiently.
(Speak up)
"Zoi Bhai is getting married" He broke the news.
"Na karo" She shrieked as always. Her hands covered her mouth and eyes dilated.
(Don't tell me)
"Yes. Finally, we are going to get a bhabi" Hamad told her excitedly.
"When did that happen?" She couldn't believe it.
"Yesterday and mama is so eager to get her daughter in law home" He laughed telling her.
"What if humain bhabi bhi sari hui mili" She clicked her tongue.
(What if we get a rude sister in law)
"Lanat tumhari shakak py! Ek sariyal ko bughta rahe hain dusra sariyal nahi chahie humain" Hamad muttered distastefully, showed his hand on her face.
(One angry man is enough we don't want another)
"But when is the wedding and who the hell is his bride? Don't tell me your theory was right. There was already someone in his life" She kept asking questions.
"Yes my dear! I was right. You guys didn't believe me but I was right. I knew he was hiding something. I just knew about it" Hamad kept bragging himself. He was more happy to know that he actually guessed right.
"Who is the bride Hamad???" She was getting shocked today. Inara's excitement level was at its peak.
They both rushed to Saman's room to inquire about Zulaid's marriage. Inara was so eager to get to know all the details. Finally, it would be the first wedding in the house. She was very excited.
"Tayi Ami! Is it true? Is your son that sariyal neem chara karela is going to get married?" Inara asked impatiently.
"Yes. We went to her house yesterday and fixed the date" Saman laughed at her words. She didn't mind her calling names to Zulaid.
Inara and Hamad were the only ones who got shocked because they were the only ones unaware of the matter. Cons of being young in the house.
They were now getting the details from Saman. Zulaid had asked his parents to ask her parents her hand in marriage. Everything got decided between the elders with no involvement of two younger people.
"My Goodness! Who is the poor girl? Hamad himself doesn't know her bhabi's name. Not fair Tayi Ami. You didn't even give us a hint about what you guys were planning" She asked further.
"She is his colleague. Her name is Dr. Azwa. you must know her. She is a nice girl!" Saman happily told her.
"Oh my goodness! Whaaat Dr. Azwa!!! So you mean. It's a love marriage. He chose her for himself on his own. Nah" She couldn't believe Zulaid could love someone. She covered her mouth in shock.
"As I said" Hamad muttered.
"Yes. It happened on his will" Saman nodded at her with a smile.
Dekho to sahi chupe rustam ko. Hospital kam karne jate hain ya nain matake karne. She was thinking in her mind. She took hold of her thoughts or else she was gonna spill them out in front of his mother.
(Just look at him. Does he go to the hospital for work or to enjoy with her)
"I can't believe. I never expected him to like someone. And how come Dr. Azwa accepts sariyal's proposal. I never knew she had such a bad taste" Inara couldn't control her tongue.
"Ahan! Larki buri bat. He is my son you are talking about" Saman faked her anger.
"I am upset with you. You didn't tell us anything Tayi Ama. Very bad!!" She stated unhappily.
"Zulaid didn't want to tell you before finalizing everything" Saman gave the reason.
"Had hy. Hum ny koi ja ke rishta turwa ke a jana tha. Allah Allah kar ke to humare sir se bala tali hy. Ab apni begum ka sir khaen. Humain bohat torture karlia" She kept saying loudly making all of them laugh.
(He hid it from us like we would have gone to her home to break his alliance. Why would we? We are the happiest right now that his attention would divert from us to his bride)
"See! I am his only brother and he didn't bother to involve me. I won't involve him either. Ese hote hain bhai! Toba!" Hamad was of the same opinion
(Do all brothers like him)
"Okay. Okay. Relax bacho!!" Saman smiled at their child.
"Anyways, Thank God! Dr. Azwa isn't rude. She is so sweet. I am happy she will come to our home" Inara got relieved after hearing the bride's names.
"Our home? No, my dear Inara! You will soon go to your real home. Your saiyan's home. It's my home" Hamad didn't miss the chance to tease her.
"Shut up Hamad!" She slapped his shoulder with all force but it did nothing to him. He laughed loudly.
"Hamad! No, don't tease my daughter. She has less time left in this house. Treat her nicely!" Saman patted her face lovingly. She never discriminated between Inara and her sons. In fact, Inara filled the void space of the daughter she always wanted.
"I am not going anywhere" She pouted, and hugged Saman.
"Every girl had to go through it beta! You should start making your mind. It's your last year of studies" Saman made her understand.
Even Hamad was sad after realizing that they had less time left together. They both were best friends from childhood. He didn't realize that she had grown up and she would be leaving this house.
After dinner, Inara was watching TV with Hamad in the living room when Zulaid came back from the hospital. He looked tired as always.
"Aslamo alaikum! Dhulhe miyan" As their gaze met, Inara smirked.
(Groom)
"Konsa dulha. Kesa dulha. Hum kisi dulhe ko nahi jante jo humain kuch btana bhi gawara nahi karta" Hamad refused to look at him and kept watching TV.
(Who are you talking about about? I don't know anyone who didn't bother to tell me anything)
"Why would he tell us. He thought we would break his alliance. Bhala hum kyu apne paoon pe kulhari marain. We would get peace when your wife would come and avert all your attention to herself. Happy days are coming Hamad!!" Inara didn't bother to take hold of her tongue. She said it all to tease him as nowadays she loved doing that.
(Why would we create problems for ourselves)
"Shut up both of you!. Badtameez. Ate hi dimagh kharab kar rahe ho" He got mad at them.
(I just arrived and you guys disturbed me)
"Han ab to humari awaz bhi buri lagay gi" Inara muttered.
(Now you will even hate our voice)
"Kyu ab kyu. Pehly sy hi esa hy. Now excuse me!!" He decided to ignore him otherwise they would eat his mind.
(Why from now. It was always like that)
He heard her laughter behind.
