Chapter 11 Just Married, Mr and Mrs(Nikkah)

A month to feel, pray and understand mercy of Almighty is around the corner. Have blessed month ahead.

AHLAM.

The big day has finally arrived, all this time everyone has been supportive including my soon to be husband who even came to meet me I suggested him to back out but instead I pissed him off he just kissed me on the forehead and didn't utter another word he just left.

Maybe I made him angry?I thought to myself I could always text him but I refrained myself, few more hours won't hurt.

After our last conversation, we didn't even speak, we both avoided each other and today I will soon be Mrs Ahlam Aahil since I didn't have my parents anymore he suggested I use his name. I don't even know if it's allowed to change surnames but many change nowadays.

It's 1pm and nikkah will be after Maghrib as decided by the family members including me.

Big day, nervousness, shyness, angry at him for avoiding me but I was at fault also, my hands were trembling and just the thought of marriage sent shivers down my spine, imagine all our lives we stay single until that someone enters our life and it changes completely.

We have to adjust, make compromises, sacrifices, pain, love the bonding already we talked and our thoughts didn't match.

In fact I remember the other day I asked him if he will still be the same person after marriage, caring, understanding, supportive and then I ran away damn I should have waited for his reply so now I wouldn't have been so sad and pale at thought of marrying him.

******NIKKAH***

Very slowly and cautiously I opened my eyes and stared image on the mirror, it just shocked me.

Everything was decorated green in his room he suggested I get dressed in his room but never once did he glance my way since that day but I shrugged the thoughts away I stared at myself.

Is that really me?Not so beautiful put pretty just different kind of pretty, all for him I wouldn't even be here if not for him.

My suit was green with golden flowers of medium size on it, well as usual it was long-sleeved, in fact I didn't want any part of my body to be seen that's what I told Faiza aunty his mom and am glad I was amazed with what they bought for me, my hair was fully covered with different hijab apart from the dupatta of the suit and my eyes were shining with emotions the dresser and put eye pencil under my eyes and mascara which just gave different beauty, my cheeks we're slightly pink due to the blusher she applied.

I prayed on myself and aunty did same I felt it when she blew on me. I wish on his day my parents would have been here but I couldn't ask for a better family than this after my parents.

I was so lost in my thoughts until someone patted my shoulder

"Are you okay?" Hania asked me with concern.

"Yeah," I replied.

"You look so beautiful," aunty complement me and smiled shyly she took my hands and placed the bracelet on my right hand tear formed from my eyes and she wiped it.

"Someone will not be able to take his eyes of you," Hania teased me and aunty just laughed.

****

I was taken in the separate hall were by the speakers were present for us to her him say yes.

All ladies were whispering and talking about Allah knows what, maybe even brides suit or face.

I just looked down all while aunty sat next to me since I didn't have any friend and Hania wasn't married.

Soon everyone was told to keep silence and I felt stiff all of sudden, what if he says no?

Sheikh started with supplications and about duties and responsibilities for both of us.

He asked him the question, the question which everyone in this hall and gents hall has been waiting for patiently.

Yes I accept Miss Ahlam as my bride, he replied three times to the sheikh and I prayed Alhamdulillah silently while everyone congratulated me and the family and soon ice cream was served.

********

Someone is waiting, he doesn't even have patience, that guy has gone crazy,Hania whispered in my ear as she wanted me to take to him.

Wait till you get yours I can't wait to tease you, I replied and she just chuckled.

Hania took me to him after Nikkah function as over all eyes and photographers surrounded us, of course, they will he was a billionaire and I felt a presence next to me I didn't dare stare up I felt flashes on us until they were over.

I felt someone entwined our hands and smiled for the first time I stared at him properly like really stared until he narrowed his eyes with a smirk and he stared at me same way.

Just keep looking at me, let them take pictures after all we are newlyweds, he said in a teasing tone and finally we sat in a car with driver in front.

*****

Hania's idea again to make me sit in his room like newly bride just to tease him more after pictures were taken, once we reached, she just whinned like a baby until everyone agreed to her idea that I should wait for groom in his room, our room.

*****

I waited impatiently nervously playing with my ring while my left hand stood still I still felt uneasiness around him due to my hand.

I didn't even realize when he entered the room and sat next to me.

He opened my veil and moved my chin upwards so I could stare at him.

You look beautiful," he complimented me once we were alone he prayed on me and kissed on my forehead.

You look handsome, After a lot I hesitation, I complimented him shyly, he deserved it, and I had the right to do so he is now my husband.

He looked confused and speechless as if I had grown two heads and he just shook his head.

Finally a compliment from my wife which just makes my day perfect one, he said with a small smile playing on his lips and stared at me again.

Let's pray, I suggested and he agreed we talked about but not about our previous topic. Just some random conversations.

I wanted to clear everything between us today and ask him something and I hope this doesn't change anything between us.I don't want any misunderstandings and if we have I want to solve and not hold grudges among us. Life is short .

Listen, I called him but he pretended like he didn't hear me? what was wrong with him?Why was he doing this to me all of a sudden?

Please listen to me, suno naa, I called him in a calm tone but he didn't reply.

Say my name and I will listen to you, he said and my eyes widened and I looked down shyly.
