The Accidental Wedding novel Chapter 25

Rameen

"Mia wake up", Sheema was shaking me, trying to wake me up.

I was so exhausted and sleepy I couldn't even open my eyes.

"Let me sleep", I said as I pulled a cushion beside me and covered my face with it. "Mia it's your wedding day", Rania slapped on my arms.

"Ouch!!" I exclaimed."Even dogs are more loyal than you", I cried in pain.

"Fuck these functions, I never thought a wedding can be so exhausting", I said as I rolled my blankets over and sat up rubbing my face.

"Wait till you find out what happens next", Rania said giggling.

I pulled the cushion and threw at her, she ducked it easily and it hit Umair who entered my room. "A man is here for you, Waleed Kamal sent him", Umair said.

"What does he want now?", I asked surprised.

I remembered the incident from a few days back when the bastard touched me. I was surprised by this guy, he knew I was engaged and was getting married in a week and still, he had the nerve to touch me like that. I was mad at him and I was mad at myself from not slapping him at that moment. I had never expected he might do something like that. I thought he despised me, his eyes had kept me disturbed for nights. The intensity of his grey eyes, the unknown emotion they held and the touch that lit up my whole body.

I was not supposed to think about him in this way, I was engaged and soon I would be someone else's wife, but his touch affected me. It made me crave for him, and that was not an option for me. I hated him for making me feel like that, he should have controlled himself.

"Come fast, he has got flowers and said he was instructed to deliver them to you in person", Umair said with a bored expression.on his face.

I looked at Sheema and Rania, they both were looking at me curiously. I ignored their gazes and followed Umair to the drawing-room where the man was waiting.

I recognized the man immediately, he was Waleed's driver, I have seen him on a few occasions with Waleed.

"Mam, Waleed Sir has sent this for you, and he has instructed me to hand it to you personally", The driver said as he gave me the bouquet and a gift box.

I took it from him and thanked him, the driver left immediately. I removed the card from the bouquet and started reading it.

"Congratulations on your Wedding, Waleed Kamal".

I kept the bouquet on the center table and held the gift box in my hand, it was a slender long rectangular box.

I opened it and looked at the item inside with astonishment. It was a charm bracelet with miniatures of a coffee cup, a girl in a white gown, a book, a duplex villa, a car, and a teacup.

I knew what it meant, it was all our meetings assembled on a bracelet. I retrieved it from the box and marveled at its beauty. It was set in platinum and each charm was studded with diamonds and gemstones. I was sure this was worth a King's ransom.

"Oooh Pretty", Rania said as she slid the bracelet from my hand. "What the hell Rania", I shrieked.

"Sheema have a look, Waleed Kamal has got the hots for our darling Mia", She teased me. I glared at her, Sheema snatched the bracelet from Rania and looked at it with wide eyes. "Do you realize, it's worth a fortune", Sheema said astonished.

I didn't reply to her, I didn't know what to say, I could never understand this man and what he wanted.

"Liar", My subconscious said.

"He wants you"

"No he doesn't, you are just imagining things", I snapped at my subconscious.

I didn't want to think about him, it was my wedding day and I felt he had already ruined it for me. Why for God's sake, this man can't see me happy?

"What's going on between you too", Sheema asked with suspicion. "What the fuck, this is what you think about me?" I hissed at her.

"I mean had he ever said that he likes you?" She said embarrassed. "I don't know what he wants", I replied.

"It's quite simple Mia, he wants you", Rania interfered in the conversation for the first time. "Why did he give something like this to me?" I said disturbed.

knew something was wrong.

"What happened"? I asked her.

"I don't know what to say Mia", She replied, her voice was hoarse as if she would break down at any moment.

"Sheema stop panicking me", I cried.

"Imaad's father wants that fifty percent of your company to be transferred to Imaad's name", Sheema said. I looked at her in shock, I was doubting her mental health, How could Hassan uncle ask something like that?

"You are kidding right?" I asked with suspicion."No Mia, it's true", She said.

"They have given time to think till the nikah and if your family agrees they will proceed with the wedding or they will call it off", Sheema said further.

I felt like someone had pulled the ground from below my feet, I fell on the floor, holding my head in both hands.

No, this can't be happening, Imaad can't do this with me. I have to speak to Imaad. He will tell me it's all a joke, he loves me right he can't ditch me like this.

I looked for my cell hysterically and dialed his number when I found it. He received the call after a few rings.

"Imaad this isn't true right?" I said, as soon as I heard his voice.

"It's true Mia, tell your family to do as my father tells them and everything will be alright," He said calmly.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, Imaad can't do this, he loved me and he doesn't want anything else than me.

Sheema hugged me, and we both started crying in each other's arms. No one told me what was happening after that, the beautician came and my mom instructed me to get ready.

I asked Sheema and Rania if my family had agreed to their demands they said that they were discussing it and I should do as my beautician asked me, the elders were trying to sort the matter and I should trust them.I didn't felt like doing anything, I just wanted to punch Imaad till death for causing this misery to my family.
