chapter 3

Ibrahaim's POV:

Ismail took my hand and said, "Please marry my sister. I don't think I will survive. Please for my sake, for our friendship, please do that." I was shocked and I just stand still staring at him. What was he saying? How could I marry her? I didn't need anyone in my life. I didn't even know her name.

"What are you saying Ismail? How can I marry her! If anything happened to you I can take care of her without marrying her. You can trust me." I said to him and tried to make him understand the situation.

I heard his sister saying to him"Vai (brother) what are you saying? Vai (brother) you need treatment. Please let the doctor treat you" she tried to make him understand the situation.

But he didn't listen to his sister and turned towards me and said "No, you don't know my sister. she doesn't go in front of any man. She is very innocent to live this world alone. Please try to understand." he said to me.

I heard the doctor said to do something soon, he needs treatment. So I just said yes without thinking anything. He told me to arrange everything now.. After nikah(marriage)he will allow doctor to start his treatment. So I went out to call my 2 friends to prepare everything and call my driver to take my dadu(grandma) from her friend's house and come here.

Surat's POV:

I was standing by my brother trying to convince him to start his treatment. I knew why my brother was trying to convince us about marriage. Because he knew that I couldn't live alone and being in this condition he was thinking about me. He just told me to trust him and say yes to this marriage. And I did that.

I never said no to him. After sometime my brother's friend entered the room with 1 man and 1 old woman. I didn't even see his face. I was just standing there and was watching what was happening. That friend of my brother told vai(brother) that this woman was his dadu(grandma). Vai (brother) told everything to dadu(granma) And dadu(grandma)assured him saying that she would take care of me.

Soon Qazi sahib(Imam) arrived. First, he asked me "Do you Surat bhuiyan daughter of Mozammel Bhuiyan accepts Ismail shaikh son of Hamir shaikh as your husband. If you agree say Qubool." I look at my brother and he nodded. I said Qubool for 3 times.

Then the qazi asked him and he said qubool 3 times. We signed on the papers and we were married. By then I came to know that his name was Ibrahim. We came out from there and the doctor started their treatment.

I was crying when I heard dadu is calling me to go near her. I went to her and sat beside her. She said "don't cry beta. Everything will be fine. Pray to Allah".

He came near to us and told dadu to go home and take rest. And then dadu went home after talking to me for something. Dadu was a nice person I already love her.

He came near to me and called my name. I was shocked and I turned to him. I  can't look in his eyes so I was looking down.

He told me to look at him, I tried but couldn't. So, I was staring at his chest. I think he has understood my situation so he didn't force me anymore. He told me that I need rest I should go home with dadu.

Hearing him I started to cry and said "Please don't send me. I want to stay hear. Please." "ok ok. Don't cry. You don't have to leave. You can stay with me." he said and I just nodded.

I decide to go to the prayer room to pray for my brother so I stand up. I was walking towards the prayer room when someone pulled me and I bumped into his chest.

He started to shout at me saying"Where are you going without saying to me? Are you mad?" hearing his shouting I was trembling.No one had ever yelled at me.

With my trembling voice, I replied" I am going to the prayer room." I was shaking very badly. His gripped on my wrist was very tight. I was feeling pain and tears were flowing from my eyes.

Suddenly he understood the situation and left my hand and said "I'm sorry for shouting and giving you pain. But you should have told me before going anywhere." I just nodded and said, "Next time I will tell you."

"Ok let's go I will go with you to the prayer room," he said. We walked to the prayer room in complete silence. when I went inside he went back.

Ibrahim's POV:

I went to the canteen and bought some snacks and water bottles for us. A full day has passed we didn't have anything. I came back. I was waiting for her.

After 1 hour she came back and was standing by my side. I told her to sit down and so she did. I knew that she was not comfortable around me and I should treat her softly. I tried but I did the opposite.

I gave the snacks and a water bottle to her. I started to eat and look at her and saw she was looking at the food and thinking something. I asked her what happened. She look at me and look down and said, "I  can't eat here, I have to remove my niqab." I just nodded.

Just then the doctor came out and said the operation went well Alhamdulillah. They told us to pray to Allah.If he woke up in 24 hours that would be very good for him. If not then he could go to coma.

I heard Surat crying very badly. "Sshh don't cry...Inshaa Allah, he will wake up." Now come with me" saying this I hold her hand.Her hand is so soft and small. And perfectly fit with my hand.

I took her to the rooftop and we sat on a bench. She started to remove her niqab and I knew if I kept staring at her she would feel uneasy. So, I just turned around and started eating.

After some time I heard her voice"listen, I need water." I turned around and face her. And next, I just kept watching her. How could someone be so beautiful? I was just staring at her and said mashallah. She looks at me and she smiled shyly. she was looking more beautiful. My heart was beating so fast.

I heard her calling me, she just calls me by saying listen. She doesn't use my name. I didn't know why. But I knolew that my mother was like her, she never used my father's name to call him."Take my bottle" I said and give her.

After finishing food she started to wear her niqab and I was just looking at her. Then we went to see Ismail. We sat on the couch. I felt her head on my shoulder. I also slept keeping my head on her head
