The Proposal {part One}.

Azhar Pov.

I know that Mamma will agree with me, but I also need Tay to accept the proposal as he is Zianna's guardian. I have prayed istikhara and I got the answer I needed to move forward in the decision I made for myself.

"Azhar, mamma has been calling you for almost ten minutes. Where did you go?" my sister Iman asked.
"Nowhere, just thinking about a case that needed my attention. What does Mamma want?"
"Why don't you go and see what she wants instead of asking me what she wants? I thought lawyers are supposed to be intelligent but I guess I was wrong", she said, laughing.
"Go and bother your husband. Before I tell mamma what you did..."
"No need. I am leaving and go and see her now before she comes to get you herself", Iman says, walking out of my room and leaving me with thoughts.
Here we go.
I walked out of my room and went to find my mother, who was in the kitchen making dinner, instead of letting Khala Farwa help her.
"Asalam aleikum, Mamma. How are you?"
Waleikum salaam. I am good, alhamdulilah. I wondered why you didn't come when I asked Iman to call you?" She asked.
"I am sorry about that. I was finishing up some notes on a case, and I wanted to talk to you and Dad after dinner", I said to her.
"Sure, we can do that. I called you here to ask you one question, my son. And you better give me an answer, okay?"
I nodded and she proceeded to say that it was time for me to get married and have a family just like my siblings.
"I was thinking about a girl that I know would be perfect for you and she is someone we know and love. So if I were to send a proposal to her, would you accept it or do you have someone in mind?" She asked while stirring the pot.
Who is Mamma talking about?
"Could I answer that when we talk with Dad, please? Don't worry, I am not saying no to getting married; all I am saying is that I have someone in mind, and I want to talk to both of you before deciding anything", I explained to her.
Hayat's Pov.
I knew this would work. Thank you, Sameera, for the plan. But for now, I need to help Zianna get the best treatment she deserves before anything else.
I know that my Azhar would love and cherish her. But the main question is whether she will accept the marriage proposal from her boss or not.
"Okay, my son. We will wait until we finish dinner to talk".
I knew that my husband was by my side when it came to deciding Azhar and Zianna's lives. Ever since I met her, I felt like I knew her but I couldn't place her where.
Allah knows who we need in our lives and who has good intentions.
After serving dinner, I looked at my husband and son with a smile on my face knowing that very soon Azhar would be married.
In shaa Allah.
The dinner went well, Alhamdulilah. Now it was time for the talk that was needed.
The three of us walked inside Aayan's office and sat down.
"Dad, Mamma. I want to get married to Zianna and I want your support on this one. I want her to be my wife and..."
"I think our son is trying to tell her that he has found the one who owns his heart, Habibty," I tell my husband with a smile on my face. "She is the perfect girl for you", I added.
"Azhar, I will tell you what I told your brother when he got married to Saira. Do you love her enough to make her happy?" My husband asks our son.
I knew that this would come up and I also knew that Azhar and Azaan are alike in the aspects of love.
Azaan married Saira to keep her away from Iman's husband but he ended up falling for her and never letting her go.
"I love her, dad. She is stubborn and makes me smile. Zianna is someone that I know I could spend the rest of my life with, and if you asked me when I fell for her, I would tell you, it was the moment that she threw away the rules I had given her. She challenges me. She makes me happy", Azhar explained, smiling as if he remembered something that happened between him and Zianna. "Dad, remember when I was in my teens when I asked you when you fell in love with Mamma? You told me it's because of her selflessness to put others first instead of herself. I love Zianna because when she walked into my life, she was the light to my dark world. I know that sounds cheesy but it's the truth. She lights up the darkness in me", he added, trying to keep calm.
"Azhar, we will support you in this but remember you also need to talk to Tayyal as he is her guardian and as well as her father. But first things first, we need to find the best hospital for her and make her well before anything goes forward", Aayan tells our son. He then stood up and hugged Azhar. "I am so proud of you, my son. Your mother and I are proud of all of you, kids. Your dreams are our dreams, and in shaa Allah, you will get your happy ending, and so will Zianna", he added.
Now all we need is to go and talk to Tayyal hoping that everything will work out in shaa Allah.
