"Bhai what are you doing in my room?" I asked trying to sound calm.

He was in my room and sitting comfortably on my bed with his legs crossed sideways.

"I came to see you." He replied casually.

"Okay. W...what d..do you want?" I asked.

I really don't know why i'm stuttering.

"What were you doing with that guy yesterday?" He asked.

What guy again..

"I..i don't know what you're talking about."

He stood up from the bed and strolled towards me while i kept moving back till he caught hold of my wrist jerking me towards him.

"Bhai leave me." I tried wiggling out of his grip but he was too strong.

"DON'T.YOU.DARE.ACT.SMART.WITH.ME. WHO WAS THAT GUY YOU WERE WITH YESTERDAY?" he growled.

Ya Allah please save me from him.

"I seriously don't understand." I said and he started chocking me.

"P.... please l...eave m..me." I struggled.

"Tell me why you were laughing with Hakeem this morning." He said.

"I.. wasn't laughing with him. He just asked if Baba was arround." I said and his grip on my neck loosened and i started coughing badly.

"Stay away from every guy who is not me." He warned.

"I wasn't doing anything bhai."

"I don't care Iman but i don't want to see you with any other guy except me." He banged the door of my room harsly.

--

I called you all here cause i want to make an announcement." Asif said.

"Go on." His father encouraged.

"I want to get married." Asif said calmly.

"Wow mashallah. I'll get you a beautiful girl from a well respected family." His mother said excitedly.

"No no mummy. I have beautiful western friends who'll make a perfect wife for my darling brother." Zara said hugging Asif.

"STOP. No one's getting me any girl cause i already have a girl in mind." Asif announced.

"Who's she then?" His father asked.

"You all know her." His family gave him a confused look.

"Wow. Tell us then." His mother said excitedly.

"I.WANT. TO. GET. MARRIED. TO. IMAN." Asif said emphasizing on each word he uttered. Everyone present in the room gasped.

"Which Iman are you talking about?" His father asked angrily.

"I'm talking about IMAN in our house. I want to marry her." Asif said calmly.

"ARE YOU MAD? SHE'S YOUR SISTER FOR ALLAH'S SAKE. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU." his father growled at him.

"She's not my sister Baba, she's my cousin and Islam permits us to marry our cousins, it's not harram and I'm going to get married to Iman cause I LOVE HER SO MUCH AND YOU ALL BETTER ACCEPT IT." Asif growled and his father slapped him.

"What has come over you Asif. We already adopted Iman which makes her your sister." His mother explained.

"I DON'T CARE. You adopted her not me cause to me she's my cousin and nothing more,so i'll get married to her so you all start planning our wedding and convince her to marry me or else you all are going to regret this." Asif threatened leaving them all in a shocking State.

"What has come over your son?" Imran (asif's father) asked.

"Ooh he's now my son not our son. When it's bad it's my son but when it's good it's our son." Wahija (asif's mother) intergected.

"Zara go talk to your brother and make him understand that he can't get married to Iman."

"Okay dad." Zara replied and got up.

••

"Hi brother. Can i come in?" Zara asked.

"You're already in my room Zara." Asif scoffed. Zara went and sat beside him.

"Bro why do you want to marry Iman. I have many beautiful friends who you can choose from." Zara said calmly.

"I don't want those cake face friends of yours. I only want Iman and you all better make her accept me. Now get out of my room Zara,i won't say it twice." Asif said gritting his teeth.

"I'm not leaving this room Brother. What's your problem, Iman is your sister even if i actually don't like that but still she's your sister and also a maid in this house. Do you want to ruin dad's reputation. The society will taunt us if they find out that the son of Imran is planning on getting married to his own sister. Ho-" Asif Cut her off

"ENOUGH!. Don't you dare call Iman my sister rather call her my fiance cause i'll marry her at any cost and if you all dare to stop me then by Allah SWT i'll kidnap Iman and marry her forcefully and you all won't be able to find us and let me see how you'll use her money and properties cause i'll take it all away from you all. So better go and tell mama and Baba what i just said and i want them to tell Iman about my proposal in two hours or else you all will regret it forever." Asif threatened.
