Next day, Sunday, Rayan got a call from his old board member, Mr.
Qureshi, who 6 years ago wanted to remove Rayan as CEO, but now is his biggest supporter and friend, after Rayan made company 2000 crores.
Qureshi said, “Rayan beta, my daughter Alishba told me she made a friend Rehan Ahmed in school, and did 5 toffees contract!
Is Rehan your son?” Rayan laughed, “Yes, Qureshi Uncle!
Rehan is my son!
And Alishba is his friend!
They did 5 toffees contract like me and Ayesha did 5 lakh contract 6 years ago!” Qureshi laughed, “What a coincidence!
6 years ago you did contract marriage with Ayesha, now your son did toffees contract with my daughter!
History repeating!” He said, “Rayan, come to my house today evening with family, with Rehan and Ayesha, for dinner!
My wife wants to meet Dr.
Ayesha, gold medalist!
And kids can play!” Rayan said, “Okay, Uncle, we will come!” Evening, 7 PM, Qureshi House, big bungalow in DHA Lahore.
Rayan, Ayesha, Rehan, Dadi, Fatima Bibi all went, with gifts, sweets, toys for Alishba.
Alishba’s mother opened door, beautiful lady, doctor also!
She hugged Ayesha, “Dr.
Ayesha!
I heard so much about you!
Free hospital!
Gold medal!
I am also doctor, gynecologist!
We can work together!” Ayesha was happy to meet lady doctor.
Qureshi Uncle hugged Rayan, “Beta, see, 6 years ago we fought in boardroom, now our kids are friends!
Life is funny!” Rehan and Alishba ran to playroom, playing with toys, doing homework together.
During dinner, Qureshi Uncle said seriously, “Rayan, Ayesha, I have a proposal.
Not business proposal, family proposal.” Rayan said, “Yes, Uncle?” Qureshi said, “Alishba is my only daughter, 5 years old, and Rehan is your only son, 5 years old.
They are already friends, did 5 toffees contract.
Why not we fix their friendship into…
future marriage?
Like childhood engagement?
When they grow up, 25 years later, they marry!
Like old times!
What do you say?” Ayesha and Rayan were shocked!
Engagement at 5 years old?
Dadi said, “Qureshi Sahib, they are only 5!
Too small!” Qureshi’s wife said, “We are not saying marriage now!
Just promise!
Like promise that they will marry when 25, if they both agree!
No force!
Just family promise!
Like Dadi fixed Rayan and Ayesha’s contract?” Ayesha remembered, Dadi fixed her contract marriage at 23, now 28, with baby.
Now Rehan at 5, fixing his future marriage at 5?
Rayan looked at Ayesha, “What do you think, Jaan?
Should we fix our son’s marriage at 5 like Dadi fixed ours at 23?” Ayesha smiled, “Rayan, if we fix now, history will repeat exactly!
6 years ago Dadi fixed 5 lakh contract, now we fix 5 toffees contract!
But…
I think we should let kids decide when they grow up.
Not force.” Qureshi Uncle said, “Yes, you are right, Dr.
Ayesha, no force, just friendship promise!
Let kids be friends, study together, grow together, if they love each other at 25, they marry!
If not, no force!
Like you both, you married for contract but fell in love!” Rayan said, “Okay, Uncle, friendship promise!
Rehan and Alishba will be best friends forever, study together, and if at 25 they love each other, we will do grand wedding!
No contract, only love!” Everyone clapped!
Rehan and Alishba came running, “What promise?” Ayesha said, “Beta, you both will be best friends forever, and study together, okay?” Rehan said, “Okay, Mama!
Alishba is my best friend!
I will share my lunch with her daily!” Alishba said, “And I will share my toffees!” Qureshi Uncle laughed, “See, already sharing!
Like husband-wife!” That night, after dinner, Rayan and Ayesha were in car, Rehan sleeping on Ayesha’s lap.
Ayesha said, “Rayan, do you think Rehan will really marry Alishba after 20 years?
Like we married?” Rayan said, “Maybe!
Who knows?
Destiny!
6 years ago, who knew a
