The marriage proposal

~You are my everything just let me in

I can show you the mountain high the valley low just let me in~

~Azweena Sheikh

When Arhan thought of cleaning all the mess up he didn't think twice and just drove his bmw to the one of the place he swore he would never keep his foot in. The place is nothing like his posh area over in the mansion. It was exactly what we call a slum area a level upgraded. When he asked aman to send him the details of the girl who slapped him aman was reluctant thinking his boss is going mad or something for thinking of taking revenge on the innocent girl but what shocked aman the most was when his boss said " i wanna clear things up and apologise to her" he knew his best friend enough to know that he would never apologise but in the end of the day Arhan was his boss afterall so he gave up and sent the details to him.

When a car stood exactly next to ayana she was shook to be exact how a bmw can be in an area like this but when the person in the drivers seat came out I really wanted to have gun in my hand at the exact moment. [ what the bananas he's doing here] i thought to myself. But what made me surprised was not that he was here but the fact that he was all smiling at me. [ did he just lost his memory after the slap? Did he hit his head? The one who wanted to kill me an hour back is smiling at me is he crazy?] again my suspicions were making their presence known. However Arhan catches her confused gaze and stands next to her holding her hands in his he smiles again. " are you drunk?" She asked him with confused tone. He smiled again and hugged her tight. Ayana was shook to give any reactions she tried to pull back but he held her tight. He leaned towards her ear and said in hushed tone "just act along with me. I know you hate me and feelings are mutual but i want to get rid of media and you need to go back to your home. You might be thinking how i know you are thrown out its easy your bag is with you and I don't think so you're going on a vacation or so? So please act as if you're my girlfriend and i will make this all things right for you and me as well ok?!" He smiled again and pulled back. With a fakest smile present on mother earth he approached her mother and said " Assalamu alikum mrs. khan i am Arhan sheikh i know there is a misunderstanding going on right now in the media. Actually your daughter is my girlfriend and i wanted to marry her but we had a fight last night so she was angry and i said so many things to her tribe to make her more angry that's why she slapped me and to make it equal i kissed her. I know you might be angry as I can't kiss her before nikah thats why i am here to ask her hand for marriage. " he said these all things in one breath as if he practiced all way long to say. Ayana was in utter shock she wanted to deny but what can she do no one will believe her as everyone was looking at arhan and her with admiration as if they make a perfect couple and on top of that her mother was smiling ear to ear. Ayana knew it's because of the bmw and the expensive suit he's wearing. She knew her mother was greedy and she will make sure ayana marries arhan even if she has to drug ayana for this. After listening to arhan nafisa called both of them inside and asked him when he wanted to marry ayana. Arhan simply smiled again and said " i want to marry her by next week my dad and his wife will come tomorrow for the proposal and i want to get engaged tomorrow itself if it's ok with you". Ayana was silent throughout the convo and Arhan was thankful that she didn't react.To be honest Ayana was not out of the shock yet she was still recovering when she heard her mom say "i am a poor widow women I don't have much money and Ayana is only one who takes care of us if she leaves who will take care of us? I have another daughter too and a son who's studying. I don't have much" when she said she was making it sound so sad but Arhan knew better afterall he was the known buisness man. He rolled his eyes and said " i want Ayana and i will take care of everything. The marriage will be taken care by me all you have to do is bring Ayana that's it" Arhan said looking at Ayana who wanted to clap him for his marvellous acting. Nafisa was happy that she doesn't need to spend any money and she can live happily as he's rich. Everyone knew who Arhan Sheikh was so she smiled again and said "then its decided you both will get married next week " said nafisa with biggest smile she could give. Arhan smiled again and held Ayanas hand and said " i will wait for you but can i speak to you alone once before the marriage as my girlfriend after marriage you'll be my wife" he said with so much of love dripping ayana could give him nobel for his acting. She looked towards nafisa who was shaking her head for a yes as if someone put batteries in her. She took Arhan to another room and closed the door. She turned towards him furiously. "What the hell is wrong with you!? Why you want to marry me you already ruined my reputation and now marriage, are you insane?" She shouted at him furiously Arhan turned towards her and held her shoulders "Tone it down miss Ayana i am here to help you and myself so please co operate with me. I know we both hate each other and i just want to make everything all right. We will be married and no i won't divorce you. You can live in my mansion and i will take care of your family. All you have to do is pretend in public that's it. Don't worry I won't love you got it?" He said it with complete sincerity. "Why you won't divorce me?" She asked confused i mean he could just divorce her after a year or so saying it didn't work. "Because i am a nobel man and i know it would be hard for you and your family so I don't want to and i would marry only once even though if it's with someone i hate so be it. Now all you have to do is marry me and pretend in public that's all" he said and turned to leave but he wasn't done with his words because he forgot something very important to say he came back to her again and said " though I won't love you doesn't mean i will restrain myself from devouring you" he said it with a sly smirk and left the room. Ayana was speechless how can he be so shameless and bold? She wanted to cry on her fate but she knew it's the good chance for her family and if she have to marry the devil she will. But an idea popped into her head if the devil wants to marry she will but she will make sure to make his life a living hell too. Just wait and watch mr. devil she said it with the determination and left to handle her family who had questions.
