It's time to sign it"Mr khan said
"What"I asked
"The contract"
"Change usman khan into an husband material within one year"
***********
"Mum, will you please stop crying, I will only be married to him for a year"
"Habibti,this was not how I imagined your wedding to be" mum said sobbing.
"What if they extend the contract,it's all my fault"dad said feeling sorry.
"My sister is the strongest girl I have seen and I believe she will not stop being strong"Asmara my younger sister said trying to cheer everyone up.
We were all sitted in our living room waiting for khan's family to pick me up.the nikah had been done already so I was going to be living with my contract husband.
Usman is not only irresponsible but he also drinks, sometimes smokes and he never prays
"They are here"the driver said.
I stood up walking towards mother as she stretched out her hands for a hug..
"I promise to visit, mother"I said releasing myself from the hug.
I walked towards dad next.
"I will try my best to change him" I then finally walked towards my one in a million sister.
"Don't forget to drop bye Asmara and I won't forget to always text you".
I walked slowly to the car and waved to my dearest family.
***********
"I am sure you will like our usman"Mrs khan said smiling at me.
Usman's mom looked really nice and there was something about her that made her stand out it was her charisma. I guess that's the thing with rich people.
We reached the house few minutes later and it being a "mansion"is an understatement.
We walked in and I could get a better view of the house.
"Usman will be back later in the day" Mr khan said sitting on the sofa.
"Let me show you around" Mrs khan said moving towards me.
We reached the first place which was the kitchen.
"Usman likes his food hot and he likes food a lot"Really? Who cares?
I nodded slowly and we proceeded to the next place which was the bedroom I was going to be sharing with him.
I am really going to be sharing a room with him.what if he wants to......"I mentally slapped myself from thinking such things.
"Are you worried"Mrs khan suddenly asked noticing my worried look.
"Yes"I replied truthfully
"Usman might be irresponsible and all but he is also really sweet and I believe you can help me.after one year you can decide to leave"
I wished she didn't put so much trust in what I can do.
She showed me the rest of the house and it was time for them to go.
"Take care almira.we will stop by once in a while"Mrs khan said exiting the door.
"Bye Mrs khan"
"Just call me mariam or mama"she said smiling.
Seriously!! mama!!
*********
I walked upstairs to the room I was sharing with usman.I arranged my clothes in the closet.
"You're here already" I turned in the direction of the voice and it was usman posing at the door in a short and T-shirt.
"How did you....."I stammered
"How did I get in"he nodded dramatically.
"Yeah"I nodded back.
"Have you not heard of an invention called 'spare key'"he said looking at me disgustingly.With that evil smirk on his face
He was disgusted by my question But him in that short looked worse.
