The happy ending

Emma: Boys will be boys, they're always ready.

Aaron: and yes for your studies, I have selected a university.

Emma: oh that's good.

David: I would do a part-time job. After all, I would have to run a family of my own.

Aaron: I remembered by the way Ivan, how are you managing your studies with your job? You and David can join my office if you want.

David: thank you Aaron brother but I'll find a job myself.

Aina: Why? I think you guys shouldn't do any job. Instead, you all are living with us. You will only focus on your studies and wives, that's it.

Aaron: huh? Do you mean I should also stop going to the office for work? I think I should also focus on my wife only.

Aina: No, I'm not talking about you.

Aaron: ok pay attention! Our home is now your home. It's my wife's wish so you have to live with us no matter what.

Everyone laughed.

Bella: it's a nice idea. But at the same time, we wouldn't want to burden you.

Aina: no one is gonna burden us. It's final, I'm satisfied with the idea after all my kids would have 3 aunties to take care of them.

Everyone laughed.

They agreed on living in Aaron and Aina's mansion since it was huge enough for all the couples to settle there.

Days went by, girls did shopping together. Boys started working together.

The month of the wedding arrived. Everyone was busy shopping. Girls bought a lot of colorful dresses for different events with matching jewelry, shoes, clutches, and much more.

Girls are sitting in Aina's mansion after shopping. They are watching dresses and other accessories they have brought to date.

Aina: I think brides should wear white dresses on nikkah and I and Emma will do twinning in colors. What do you say?

Emma: no no twinning, what if our husbands get confused?

All burst out a laugh.

Aina: that's something serious I didn't think about. Ok we'll go with whatever we have brought. Now I have 4 options, here is a red one, the turquoise blue one, the bright pink and the light rosy one. Tell me what should I wear on nikkah?

Emma: Red would do.

Aina: but I think it would be too bright and I think the brides should get the most limelight.

Emma: yes, exactly. We have to pick light colors then.

Carla: I think this one would look beautiful (taking out a beautiful pinkish nude color dress).

Aina: yeah it's in a nude color with minimally embellished.

Emma: Now decide for me.

Bella: you should go with this one I think. It has grey color with glittery silver touch to it.

Emma: but I don't like it much. See isn't this one better? (She pointed toward bieg colored dress).

Aina: I'm also confused even you guys have decided but I want to wear all. I also want to marry again. It's so unfair, isn't it Emma? Our wedding was so quick and simple.

Emma: exactly, I'm ready to marry again.

Ivan arrived in time: what did you just say? You'll marry again?

Emma: yes but I didn't say I'll marry someone else. I'll marry you again.

Ivan: oh that's good. I came to tell you that Aaron is saying to bring the necessary stuff here today since there is going to be a grand nikkah ceremony after two days.

Emma: oh, coming.

*After two days*

Girls were already spending hours in the salon while boys were working for hours and got ready in the last few minutes.

The Imam performed nikkah, both couples signed it and everyone made a Dua (prayer in Islam) at the end.

After Dua boys congratulated each other while hugging one after the other. On the other side, girls did the same with brides.

They did a group photoshoot and then traveled to a nearby scenic for a couple photoshoot.

Aina: come on Bella, don't be ashamed of your husband. Do it this way (telling her how to pose).

Bella: you better don't act like a photographer.

Aina: come on, see how Carla and David are doing it so comfortably.

Zain laughed.

Bella: keep laughing. I can't pose like that.

And then Emma enters. Emma being Emma made her do the pose.

Emma: we are going to give you privacy. You can make yourself comfortable and do the poses the photographer asked you to do or else you would regret it.

Bella (to Zain): I'm just not comfortable in front of this photographer.

Zain: it's ok.

Zain (to the photographer): we're done. No more photos.

Photographer left.

Bella: thank you. You're so good.

Zain: really?

Bella: yes, I signed a nikkah a few hours ago and I'm already falling for you. I'm experiencing the fact that Allah put love in the hearts after nikkah.

Zain: Indeed, it's such a good feeling, I can't describe it. I'm happy today.

Bella: me too.

Aaron came: sorry for disturbing you. I think we should go now to home as it's getting dark.

Zain: sure.

They ate dinner together and went to their respective rooms.

Aaron: babe you're looking drop-dead gorgeous.

Aina: you too.

Aaron: I look the same every day.

Aina: see through my eyes. You look different every single moment. I can't take my eyes off you.

Aaron (grabbing her): ahan? My babe is getting good at flirting day by day.

Aina (blushing): no, I don't flirt.

Aaron: look someone is blushing.

At the breakfast table;

Aaron: we've decided to go to Maldives for your honeymoon, not honeymoon it would be more like a trip if all of you agree. If you want to go somewhere else, you can add it.

David: I think we should add Dubai.

Aaron: yeah, it has many tourist spots.

Emma: I don't know much about tourist spots but I always wanted to visit Paris once but I've heard a lot about it.

Ivan: yes, that's a good place. We can go to the Arctic areas as well.

Carla: wow, It's gonna be a long trip.

Bella: exactly.

Aina: who knows if we'd be able to do a trip together in the future or not so it's a good time. We should utilize it as much as we can.

Emma: Exactly, it's gonna be fun.

Aaron: I'll book tickets for you all. We are 8 people in total and we'll take off next week inshaaAllah.

Aina: inshaaAllah.

Everyone said: inshaaAllah.

*Next week*

Aaron: babe, don't put this much stuff.

Aina: Why? I bought these dresses to wear abroad. Just don't say a word.

Aaron: I'm saying because you are putting in so many heels. You are not allowed to wear heels, babe.

Aina: No I will wear them. They add grace to the whole dress. I can't leave them (keep putting heels in a suitcase).

Aaron let out a sigh.

Aina stopped putting in for a while and glanced at Aaron.

Aina: Don't make that face. I don't like when you shut your mouth like that.

Aaron: babe please don't wear heels for my sake. If you'll bring them, you'll want to wear them. They can be risky in this situation. You look graceful either way.

Aina (pecked him on the cheek): ok.

She started taking out all the heels.

Aaron watched her with loving eyes and came close to her.

Aaron: you sit there, I'll pack.

Aina: No I can pack.

She glanced at his face which turned emotionless again. She quickly sat on the bed.

Aaron smiled: I like my wife.

Aina: she must be lucky to be loved by THE ARROGANT MASTER.

Aaron: yeah, she is.

Both laughed.

Someone knocked.

Aaron: yes.

Emma: Are you done with packing or should I help you?

Aina: Almost done. What about you and others?

Emma: we all are done and waiting for you both.

Aina: oh then help me in setting these heels back in the cupboard.

Emma: ok.

She helped in packing as well.

Carla: oh Aina, you're looking such a beautiful and glowing mommy-to-be.

Aina: it's all because of your brother-in-law. By the way, you're also glowing as a newlywed.

Carla: hahaha.

They all left for the airport.

*At the Airport*

David entangled his one-hand fingers in Carla's fingers.

Ivan grabbed Emma's hand.

Zain entangled his fingers in Bella's fingers.

Aaron entangled his one-hand fingers in Aina's fingers.

The couples entered in terminal leaving their city happily.

*Author's note*

A very warm thanks and a virtual hug to each reader from Pakistan to India, South Africa, Switzerland, Indonesia, etc (sorry If I forgot your region), and of course Pakistanis as well. I completed my first (and perhaps last) novel today and I never thought to get this number of readers. It became possible because of you all. Also, I want to tell you all that I have opted for a thesis (research) and it's getting tough. Overall, it was a good journey, I still wish I get a chance to meet you all. It's ok, we might not meet here but I'll pray to meet you in Jannah (paradise).

Remember me in your prayers.

This chapter's comment section would be open for you all to interact with me (since there is no other mode to stay connected). I might not be able to stay active like I used to but whenever I'll get time, I'll come to this app and check your comments and reply.

An official bye-bye from your authorrehab.
