The Betrayal of the Love of Aminah
Amina

Introducing my name Aminah, I am a 25-year-old woman whose time for marriage has come.

I'm just a high school grad girl with no skills and my baba just passed away.

Baba did deliberately not allow me to work outside the house and only take care of the baba legacy business.

One day a family of acquaintances of the deceased baba came to my house in Janakpur.

Aminah wears a hijab on her head when her mother comes into her room and gives her favorite cup of green tea.

He simply turned his head and sat speechless as his mother spoke to him that morning.

" There is a family of acquaintances of the deceased Baba to come here and want to see you" said Mother.

" Who's mathair ? Is baba's friend during school ", asked Aminah.

" No. ", said the mother speechless.

Mother sat beside Aminah, sighing.

He rubbed the head of Aminah, which was covered in hijab, gently.

" They're a conglomerate family from Delhi... Father's business acquaintance. ", said the mother.

" What is his relation to me?", asked Aminah.

Mother took out a box from inside her dress pocket made of a beautiful sari.

"They gave me a dowry, my son", said the mother.

" What's mathair??? Mahar???", asked Aminah in a cold gasp.

" Next week they will come to propose to you, Aminah" said the mother.

Mother rubbed her watery eyes and handed over a box of jewelry to Aminah.

Aminah looked up at the box in her hand without being able to speak again.

" It's time for you to get married, son" Mathair said.

Aminah fell silent and just sat there daydreaming.

Mother again rubbed Aminah's head while smiling.

" They came after hearing the news of Baba's death and intended to visit us in Janakpur" she said.

Aminah was still silent and only looked at the box in her hand.

" Tomorrow we will start shopping for your wedding needs later and decorate the house" said Mother.

Mother looked towards Aminah and began to understand the attitude shown by her daughter.

" It may be hard for you but you have to understand that you are no longer young and 25 years old, it is too late to get married, Aminah" said Mother.

Mother folded the blanket on Aminah's bed and cleaned the clothes lying next to her.

" I will prepare a special scrub for you and wear it from today so that on your wedding day, you will look fresh and bright, Aminah" said Mother.

Aminah did not answer her mother's words and just bowed silently.

" Drink that green tea and come down from your room to help me make kheer and butter" said Mother.

Mother got up from Aminah's bed and stood up while tidying up her sarin hijab.

Then take his breath back.

" If your Baba knew this, she would be very happy and excited to hear that her daughter is getting married" she said.

Aminah gasped in shock when she heard her mother's words when the Baba she loved the most would be happy if she heard the news of her marriage.

" Does Baba want me to get married soon, Mathair ? ", asked Aminah.

" Of course and he planned it" said Mother.

" Baba ??? Is this Baba's plan ? ", said Aminah.

" Yes... Before Baba died, she had planned this matchmaking for you and unfortunately your Baba left before holding your marriage, Aminah ", said Mother.

Aminah fell silent and looked back at the jewelry box in her hand with a sad heart.
