It was the 15th day of Ramadan, and the Khan household was buzzing with excitement and anticipation. The garden had been transformed into a beautiful venue for the Nikkah ceremony, adorned with strings of lights and delicate floral arrangements. The air was filled with a sense of serenity and joy, as the family prepared for the momentous occasion.

Armaan stood at the center of the gathering, dressed in an elegant green and gold sherwani that shimmered under the soft lights. His heart raced with a mixture of nervousness and happiness. He exchanged glances with his cousins, who offered him encouraging smiles and thumbs up. Despite his composed exterior, inside he was a whirl of emotions. He thought of Daneen, his soon-to-be wife, and felt a surge of love and gratitude. This moment, which he had dreamt of, was finally here.

Daneen, in another room, was surrounded by the women of the family, who fussed over her with last-minute adjustments to her bridal attire. She looked resplendent in her traditional green and gold outfit, her face glowing with excitement and a hint of shyness. As her mother adjusted her dupatta and her cousins added final touches to her jewelry, Daneen's mind was a kaleidoscope of thoughts and feelings. She felt a profound sense of joy mixed with the gravity of the commitment she was about to make. Her heart fluttered every time she thought of Armaan waiting for her outside.

The maulvi sahib arrived, signaling the start of the ceremony. The family members gathered around, forming a close-knit circle of love and support. The men, including Zarrar, Shauqeer, Tauqeer, and Armaan's father, stood on one side, while the women, including Hadiya, Saniya, Taifa, and Maha, took their places on the other side.

The maulvi sahib began the proceedings with a recitation from the Quran, setting a serene and sacred tone for the event. Daneen's thoughts drifted to her journey with Armaan, from the moment she first realized her Ishq for him to this very moment. The maulvi sahib's voice brought him back to the present, and he took a deep breath, ready for the most important moment of his life.
"Daneen Hasheem Khan, Kya aapko Armaan Ahmed Khan se Nikkah Qubool hai?" he asked.
Daneen took a moment, feeling the weight and significance of her words. She glanced at her mother and Daadijaan, who nodded encouragingly. Her heart swelled with love for Armaan, and she felt a calm settle over her.
 Gathering her courage, she answered, "Qubool hai."
A wave of applause and cheers erupted from the family. Daneen felt Hadiya's tight hug, whispering congratulations in her ear. 
 Armaan's thoughts drifted to his journey with Daneen, from the first time he saw her to this very moment. The maulvi sahib's voice brought him back to the present, and he took a deep breath, ready for the most important moment of his life.
"Armaan Ahmed Khan, Kya aapko Daneen Hasheem Khan se Nikkah Qubool hai?" The maulvi sahib asked, his voice clear and steady.


Armaan looked around at his family, his eyes finally resting on Daneen, who was partially hidden from view but whose presence he could feel deeply. Her image filled his heart with a warmth that steadied his nerves. 

With a confident and heartfelt voice, he replied, "Qubool hai."
Just then, the maulvi sahib addressed the couple and the gathering. "Before we conclude, there is the matter of the haq mehr. Daneen, as per Islamic tradition, you have the right to ask for anything as your haq mehr."
