The Accidental Wedding novel Chapter 9

Rameen

I was nervous waiting at the backdoor, hoping my cousin Umair would open the damn door without arising any suspicion.

After a few moments, I heard a click and the door was opened carefully to not make any sound. "Mia what on Earth, did you get yourself into this time?" Umair glared at me.

I rolled my eyes at him, he was four years younger than me and always acted like he was the elder one. "Will you just shut up and let me get to my room", I scolded him in a low voice.

I was afraid either my aunt or my mom could walk upon us and I didn't want them to see the mess I was right now.

Though Saad had given me his jacket and his driver had dropped me, my hairs were still sticky from the cocktail.

"What the fuck?" Umair exclaimed as I got inside and he saw me in the light.

"Shhh, can you just not talk till I make it to my room", I said annoyed.

He followed me silently to my room, we both making sure no one saw us till we reached the door. Ours was a joint family, my father and his brother my uncle living in the same house along with our grandfather.

"What have you done this time Mia?" Umair grabbed my arm as we entered my room and closed the door. "Relax dude, no big deal. I threw a drink at the party on a guy and he retaliated", I replied trying to make it sound as insignificant as possible.

I wish Ali was here instead of Umair, he would have given me hi-fi. Though Ali was 2 years older then Umair he was the cool guy.

Umair was the spoilsport from the three of us. Ali and Umair were siblings, and they were the complete opposite of each other.

Ali was currently in the US doing his MBA, so he could come back and look after our family business of leather export.

"You did what?", Umair asked, trying to digest what I just said.

"Do you think I have all the time in the world to keep repeating the same thing again and again?" I said annoyed.

" Can you imagine what will happen if our mom's found out?" He said looking at me in disbelief.

Well, I can't help him if he was such a nerd. The most exciting thing in life he would have done would have been if he bunked a class if he ever bunked one.

"They won't if you don't tell them", I said, taking out my clothes from the closet.

I was desperately in need of a shower to calm my senses. Now that I was back in the safety of my room without any of the elders of my family finding out I was reminded of that bastard again. Umair just stared at me with distress and left my room.

I went straight to the shower, after an hour-long shower when I was back to my senses I was thinking about how I was going to repay that cocky bastard.

The following week I was busy with my office work, I was working as an architect in a newly established firm.

A distant cousin of mine had established this firm a few years back and was doing really well. After I completed my graduation in architecture he had offered me a job in his firm.

We decided to have dinner at the restaurant in the five-star hotel, where the exhibition was held.

"So Mia, tell me about you?" Rania asked after we sat at a table and ordered our food.

"Nothing much to tell you about, you have already seen what I am like at Seema's birthday", I tried to sound as indifferent as possible.

"Well that was one great feat you pulled that day, never have I seen a girl stand up to Waleed my entire life", She said as if she was really in awe of me.

"Until he got the better of her", Sheema teased.

"You both have a thing for beverages you know, whenever you both meet they are spilled", Sheema added laughing.

I gave her a death glare, but she didn't seem to care. I had to do something about this Waleed guy.

"Did they meet before that day?" Rania asked, surprised, to which Sheema narrated the incident of the mall to her.

"Ohhh my god, I can't believe it. Did you really say that to him? He would have been really pissed", Rania said laughing.

"Well you have just met her, the whole night won't be enough to narrate her feats to you. Mia had been kicking guy's asses since school", Sheema replied.
