Engagement Ceremony

I stand up from the bed and walk to the bathroom i brush my teeth and took shower and dress up.

I don't want to go downstairs because everyone will be doing preparation for tonight. But mom wanted to see me so i went downstairs and saw everyone was here mom's whole family uncles aunties cousins and my Nani (mum's mum)

My nani she is one of the coolest and most understanding people i know. Our relationship is very unique she is very easy to talk. She is really supportive. I love her

"Nani" I screamed in happiness i hugged her im so happy to see her otherwise last couple of days it seem imposible to even smile

"My sweet baby. How are you?" Nani asked me

"Im fine. How are you Nani? I missed you so much you didn't called me on eid im very mad at you!!" i try to act like a upset kid with a pout

"I missed you too honey! i apologise for not calling my dearest granddaughter please accept my apology and forgive me" Nani said and gave a big box of chocolates. Everyone started to laughing. Nani knows how to make me happy i kissed her on cheek. I love chocolates so much.

"You still act like a five years old" nani start to laugh

"Yeah but now start to act like a 18 year. you're getting engaged and soon you'll be married so be responsible" my dadi said

Ugh why she is so annoying. She can't see me having fun.

"Yes my sahiba is very responsible and i know she is mature enough to handle everything. Let her enjoy her moments!!" Nani give a straight answer to my dadi. Nani my hero

Whole day was very eventful guests start to come family members came early it was not a HUGE function just some close friends and family.

I was in my room with Madiha and Aisha. Mom, Rihana Masi and Heena. They all were dressed up for the party. Rihana Masi have a big a box in her hands must be my Engagement Outfit and Heena were holding jewellery boxes.

Mom came and hold my hand "you are my strong baby!! im proud of you!!" Mom said and press a gentle kiss on my hand and leave.

"Is that Sahiba's engagement outfit? Omg open it!!!" Aisha screamed in excitement

Madiha and rihana masi opened the box oh my god that was so beautiful mom picked it she told me to choose but i said im not interested.

It was a full heavy work Anarkali with Lehenga. The top of the Anarkali dress was black coloured full sleeves top with heavy baby pink, glittery white and golden embroidery. Anarkali was long in baby pink colour with a white colour lehega the down length of the anarkali have heavy embroidered. Its beautifully gorgeous i wore it Heena did my makeup. It was not too much as i like to keep it simple. Rihana masi gave the jewellry with that i was ready.

Its my engagement today but i felt nothing like i always used to imagine in my mind. It was nothing like i thought it would be. I feel so nervous going down with room full of people who are here for engagement and mostly I'm nervous to face faiz.

"Lets go everyone is calling us downstairs!!" Rihana masi annouced

We all made our way downstairs. The decorations are so perfect i really liked it.

I saw everyone enjoying and having a good time. All our relatives are here but faiz's dad's family was not here just his dad's two brother are here. Our family and they have a lil history.

Everyone fixed their eyes on me As we were going down stair by stair. i really feel weird when two or more than two people stare at me it creeps me out but now theres huge crowd of people are looking at my every step and detail. i wanna go back my room and lock myself. I said in my mind i feel so weird i quickly look down. I look up and find faiz looking at me as little smile apear on his lips. Is he sick or something? When i look at him i realize our outfits are matching. What the hell. Whos idea was this?

There was a sofa fully decored in the middle of the hall. I sat on it. Few minuts later faiz came and sit right next to me. We sat there watching everyone talking. It feels so weird like just 48 hours ago we were arguing, yelling at each other, fighting like bulls in a room of this same house and now we are just sitting beside each other quitly. At our own ring ceremony. Funny!

They brought the rings Heena was holding the plate. rings were in the plate with rose patels.

Both rings were diamonds. Mine was a beautiful big diamond with tiny diamonds around it. And faiz's ring was white gold ring with three very little diamonds. Jahida bhua took my ring her hand and slipped it in my finger everyone clapped. And my mother did the same with faiz they clapped again and start to congratulate us and our parents.

"You are officially engaged and each other's now" someone annouced. I sighed

"Lets take a photo together a family photo!!" Faiz's father said cheerfully and Everyone stand around us and start to pose

"Ma'am please look into the camera and smile please" a guy with camera requested me

And click click he clicked pics with everyone our families our relatives.

"Can i please take a pic of these two newly engaged?" He said in soft tone

"Sure why not!!" Jahida aunty grant him the permission

"Can you both please sit a little closer and smile" he said again. If he try to request one more time im gonna hit with with his stupid camera.

As Faiz sit closer to me his hand placed on mine we both look at each other and our eyes met. And camera man clicked it. He took few more pics of us just us two. I was getting so bored at my engagement party just looking around i wanted this to end as soon as possible. Faiz was looking in his phone. I'm couting the minutes oh actually seconds please let me go. I want this night to end RIGHT NOW. But i think clock is moving a little slow tonight than usual.

"When will this end?" I thought i was saying it in my mind but it came out through my mouth as whispering oops.

I turn right to make sure faiz didn't hear that he is still looking in his so i guess he didnt heard tht. I turn my head back straight.

"The feeling is mutual! Its so boring sitting with you!" He whisper to me.

"How dare you? You think im boring?!" I said back with a glare

He turn his head to my side and speak "Thats abvious!! whats new? No one ever told you that?" As he finished a smirk apear on his lips

"And you think you are the most Fun and intresting person alive?"

"Theres no need to question on it!!"

"God you are so full of yourself! Im Sitting with you because i have no other choice otherwise i wont even stay in same room with you sitting beside you is a far thing!" I snapped back keeping my voice low

"Listen don't sta-" faiz stop talking when he saw guests coming to our way. Thank god

Allah in this world of 7 billion people you chose him for me seriously Him?? I close my eyes and sighed
