The night before the Nikkah; All of our relatives and cousins have came up at our house since few days so we were busy in that,i havent been going at work since the last 3 days so it was Hassan and Adam who were managing everything,Jannat was gift wrapping some sweetes that will be given to the guest after the nikkah along my cousin,even though i was getting married tomorrow she still had to say that she loves me,i respect her feeling for me but i would be breaking her heart too if i cant give her the love that she wants,today she asked me is my wife to be is prettier then her but i havent seen her once im not rejecting my cousin because she isnt pretty because everyone is pretty in their own way but what can i do if my heart felled for Fajr,i have told her to not create any drama when Fajr will come in this house everyone will keep her happy and treat her like their own but as much as i know her she can go really far. I was sitting with dad and uncles,but then me Hassan,Adam and Zubair hana's brother went to pray,after praying ishas salah we had a chat with the imam,the imam was in his 30s,he was an imam but more like a friend to everyone,he will be imam for my nikkah tomorrow in sha Allah as we were done all the boys went to have some chae at chaiiwala.
Adam:"My brother is getting married tomorrow everyone,now if you have to meet him then you will have to book an appoinment in advance" he said making everyone laugh
my cousin Zubair was married since 3 years so he decided to give me tips
"Brother im telling you always agree with your wife if you want a good marriage life,even if bhabi says that the colour Red looks blue to her then never call her colour blind just say yh babe your right"
"i guess ill have to make new friends after 12 years of friendship" Adam said putting his hand on my shoulder
"and why is that" i asked him taking a sip of my chae
"because now you will be playing football with only bhabii" i also laughed because me and Adam have most of our memories related to football,ww both are big fan of football i dont know if Fajr is into sports,we all had chat and the Adam finished the chit chat session with saying "Akhi all jokes aside but...you will rember us"i showed him my puch while laughing and said "guys im not going on a war "Ya Allah,sometimes its nothing less then a war" hahah
"But bro,i wish you the best" Adam gave me a side hug beefore he left to back at his home and we went back home,it was 11:47 when we reached home,The house was decorated full of lights and flowers from the inside.

Everyone was still talking,all the dads were sitting in the living room and having they're chai,the women's were also talking about they're talks,the boys were also playing some game all the girls cousins were deciding about what to wear how to dress and all thats what Jannat told me,Thank god Mom has sended in my room to get some rest they way everything was going so fast I didn't get any sleep in these days.
I went in my room and as i putted my watch on the dressing table I saw the gifts I got for Fajr,I didn't really knew what to get Mom has told me that traditionally on the "Mu dikhai"(when the guy sees his bride for the first time) the groom gifts the wife something really expensive and memorable,like a jewellery or something so i got her a gold Bracelet with some diamond,but other then that I've got her Some Abayas as Mom have got her lots of traditional outfits so I don't have to,a Quran with the English translation,a prayer mat matching to mine which had our initials on it in Arabic,and as I was doing shopping for her I found a little toddlers thobe and Abaya haha,it seemed cute to me so I just bought it,it was all packed in the box thanks to that lady in the shop.

Fajrs pov;Saher was still here,she'll be staying with me until my rukhsati,oh and we were told few days ago that we will be having the 2 event in one day,which meant that nikkah tomorrow morning and then Mehndi in the evening,Jannat told be because her brother wants me to be with him ASAP haha,but I was also happy with it because what would I have been doing after my nikkah haha atleast we will have our Mehndi,Avin was also staying today for the first time,She got us pj's for today mine said "Bride" and they're said "Bridesmaid",we were all ready to lay on the bed and have chats but I went to take the gifts that I've got them.
"Okay girls,you guys have played one of the lost important and special part in my life you 2 were the ones who always stood beside me in every situation,and today that I'm getting married I wanted to give you guys a thank you gift,Thank you Saher for always listening to even crying at 2am,Thank you Avin for always making me laugh in those times when I completely forgot to laugh" at the end we all got emotional,and gived a group hug,but saher couldn't stop crying
"Partner I love you very much and I'm so happy that you found your love I'm gonna miss you soo much" "haha bro where I'm I even going I'm always gonna be with you guys in sha Allah" I tried to ensure her and then I gave the gift Boxes to each of them with a white rose and The group photos of us.we ended the night by watching old videos and photos of us On my laptop which made us laugh and cry thru out.Now tomorrow few girls will come to do our makeup and then we will have the Nikkah in sha Allah
___________
Nikkah day;The makeup artist has arrived at 10 o clock now we only had 2 hours as we will have our nikkah at 12 in sha Allah,I already wore my dress it wasn't a traditional dress because I was already wearing so many traditional dresses on all the events,I got my makeup done and I showed it to my Mama first she liked the look but she asked me again If I was going to wear the nikab,because she thinks that people will talk about me wearing the nikab,what will Amar and his Family will say etc...even though they have got me nikab with every dress,I later went to see where the girls reached and they were already done just preparing the last few things,i have done my hijab by myself then I left with Avin who was driving and saher who said beside me to handle the dress,Mustafa and my parent's were also behind us.
Mom has already seen me but dad Didn't so when I reached there we got to capute dad's reaction on camera,it was really memorable,I remember when I was small and dad used to sing this one song about Daughters living their home,so when i asked him what wedding was,he explainer to me and I told him that I would never leave him and he cried even at that time,Dad got more far from us when he got busy at his work but now Alhamdullillah everything was different.
I was sitting in a room holding my bouquet and waiting patiently for my husband,in the meantime we got few photos with the female photographer outside the mosque,there were only few of our relatives and Sahers Family,we wanted keep it really simple,I was sitting at the back room when Avin told me to come an sit where the ceremony was happening as I had to enter before Amar could so he didn't see my look.
So I went to Sit and there he came,When I heared my bestys say that he was sitting right in front of me,my heart beat went really fast Jannat and Anti came to greet me,i only wanted my mom Dad to sit beside me,and I also wanted my dad to ask me "qabul hai",so he did just like that
Dad:"Fajr shabbir kia apko Amar Ahmed ...Apne nikkah me qabul hai" I could hear anything that my dad was saying other then these words,when dad was staying these words he was also getting emotional and I was shimmering
Fajr:"Qabul ha" I repeted 3 times but I just could hold my tears to imagine that now I wasn't just my dad's daughter but someone's wife,the imam then asked the same question 3 times to Amar, in the mic.
Amar:"j qabul hai" x 2
And the last he said "Khushi Khushi qabul hai" made everyone laugh including me and Imam,the the imam made dua and everyone came to congratulate me,first anti,Jannat uncle my bestys who gave me a tight hug and some relatives,Then Jannat and Saher asked everyone to leave so Amar could see my face and there were only me Amar anti Jannat mama dad bestys and Mustafa.
Jannat:"now you can see your bride"
So he did as she said and he removed the flowers from the middle,got on his knees
"Ijazat hai" (do I have the permission to pick up the veil) and I nodded yess but from inside I was scared what if he doesn't find me the way he imagined me to be
He was picking um the red veil but then he read his name that was written in Arabic,Saher has already removed my nikab when everyone left but I still had my hijab on,he removed the red veil,and his tears came out he wiped them away and gave Me a kiss on my forhead in front of everyone
Amar:"you have left me speech less ya Hayati"
We both got up and he gave me a tight hug,and I could feel him cryingI couldn't believe that now he was my husband,and the love he was giving me already was indescribable,he said that I'm more beautiful then he imagined,we both then prayed 2 rakah Of Nafl to thank Allah swt for this day,the most special day of our lives we had another ceremony in a bit so we had to hurry and do the photos shoot in the other location while the guest were having they're food even though we wanted to say so much to each other but we just couldn't.
