Chapter 6 - proposal

Rayyan's pov

"Noooo leave me" Arha chirped hitting my chest with her small fists.

"Five minutes, sweetheart" I mumbled holding her in my arms tightly.

"Wake up, you sleepy head or else I'll bite you.” She told fuming because I was not letting her go .

I chucked in response.

She crawled on top and kissed my right cheek, then my left.

"Please wake up” she pleaded.

"Never” I replied still closing my eyes.

I heard her sighing in frustration.

"Ouch " I yelled letting her go and sitting up.

Did she just bite me.”I glared at her, in response She was just laughing and clapping her hands.

"Arhaaaa"I whined like a kid, getting up from bed.

"Mr.Rayaaan Aabid, have a shower, come downstairs, breakfast is ready and everyone is waiting for you.” She ordered in her sweet baby voice.

"My name is Rayyan not Rayaaan." I corrected.

She looked at me with her big doe eyes trying to say my name properly but her attempt failed again and again, she was looking so adorable with those hazel eyes which had a blank expression.

"Whatever now do as I say, did you understand?” She asked sternly.

"Yes your highness" I replied.

I lifted her up in my arms kissing both her cheeks and letting her go, she ran out of my room.

Arha is my elder brother Arhaan's daughter, she’s just three year old but acts really like a nerd.

I would accept that Arhaan himself is scared of his daughter than his wife Taiba. she's the one who daily wakes me up in the morning, she’s the princess of our house.

Walking toward the washroom, I quickly had a shower and went downstairs to have breakfast with my family.

"Silence” I told as I entered the living room which was very noisy.

"This is not your office bro."Arhaan voiced out.

"Some people prefer having breakfast in peace.” I stated.

"Then you must please go to the library rather than having it here."Arha snapped back.

Everyone started laughing at her statement. This girl is really a chatter box like her father.

"Bro,you have a wonderful daughter just like you.” I commented.

"That's all because of your stupid brother, who has given the freedom to do anything.” Taiba sissy replied before Arhaan could.

"What " Arhaan yelled.

"What do you mean, WHAT." She replied raising her eyebrows and glaring at him, her voice was soft but there was a threatening tone in it.

"Uhhh.. nothing sweetheart. “Arhaan told stuffing his mouth with cornflakes.

"Someone is a coward.” Raihana and Raaina my sisters sang in chorus.

"Shut up “Arhaan whispered.

"Arhaan, don’t you know how to talk with your sister’s.” my mom Raida glared at him, to that both my sisters stuck their tongue out at him.

"What, I did nothing.” He stated confused.

"Quit fighting everyone, now let's have breakfast, I’m starving.” Arha stood up in the table and announced angrily.

Dad entered and everyone started eating.

"There is something I want to tell everyone, it’s regarding Rayyan.” I gave my full attention to what dad was saying.

"I have found a girl for him and Rayyan have already met the girl.” He told.

"Wow” my bro teased.

What the hell, like seriously 

"Dad, I’m sorry to tell you this but I have another girl in my mind.” I stated but without considering my point he just continued.

"The girl is Haya, daughter of Ahmed . you have met them in the airport and I would never like you getting married to a pathetic girl like Catherine.” my dad mentioned. 

"What the hell dad, what’s wrong with Catherine and why in the world do you want me to get married to a handicapped girl.” I fumed.

"Mind your language Rayyan, there’s a kid here." Dad informed " Catherine is not a suitable girl for you nor for our family. She doesn't respect elders and most importantly I feel like she's just loving your money than you.” He reasoned.

"What the .. I stopped midway because Arha was in the room.” Look dad I've known her for four freaking years and for your information she will love me even if I have money or not.” I defended.

"Whatever, I have already given my word for Ahmed so you better get married to Haya and your wedding would take place within two months.” He replied making me to get up and leave from there.

What the hell are they thinking, why I can't choose my life partner, Arhaan himself  chose his wife then why in the world would I have to freaking have an arranged marriage.

The only person who could help me solve this matter would be mom, so I better talk to her before its too late.
