Qadr-They were destined to be one!

Nikah

And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I sprung up to the beep of the alarm set last night. Everything seemed new , different yet pleasant. I made wudu and offered my fajr prayers followed by 2 rakahs of nafl to invoke the choicest blessings of Allah on this auspicious day of my life. I raised a supplication to carry out things in the best way possible.
-Afternoon-

"humairaaaa! !! is everything ready?", asked salma didi while I was packing my wedding dress and jewellery.

"I am confused Di! !I don't know which sandal to wear. this one is 4 inches while this is 2.5 inches ", I said pointing at the sandals I bought recently.

"Wear the one which is quite comfortable because you'll have to wear it for hours. we don't have time for this .hurry up!"

I grabbed both the sandals and while I was packing realisation struck- Oh my Allah! !!I am getting married! !!is this for real!!pinch me somebody..shouldn't I be nervous?May be not because I won't be leaving my home sweet home so soon. It's just your nikah mairaaa!!chill girl , your cool , okay? As I was juggling with my thoughts I heard someone saying zayed.

"huh?zayed? what??? were you saying something didi? ", she huffed at my bizarre state .

"I said you have all your life to think about zayed. Just come fast"

I giggled and brushed off my earlier thoughts , packed all the necessities, left to the parlour. The Nikah was after maghreb prayers. I wore my Indo-western gown ,with my hair neatly pinned into a bunch. As I reached the venue , it started drizzling . what timing! I went to the dressing room of the banquet and offered my maghreb prayers as I was already in my wudu. In another half an hour I was taken to the stage.

Midway I was stopped by my dad asking for my consent for the nikah.
tadaaaa! !!!when I agreed with a nod , he engulfed me in a hug, whose warmth filled my eyes with tears.
Was I sad? of course not! I had mixed feelings. It was tears of joy , at the same time I had pangs of sorrow, my life will not be the same anymore. I was entering the second phase of my life- I was completing my Deen, which meant more responsibilities. I continued walking to the stage with a blank state of mind while my eyes kept flooding with tears.

The moulana started the qutuba ,while I listened to it intently ;I could hear zee and dad exchange vows with the mehr we agreed upon.

" mairuu uu!!!shhhhh!!please stop crying!!we don't know if the makeup is waterproof.", said Aasiya with concern .

That statement made me giggle, Aasiya and samaira can never be serious or they are way too innocent to understand the situation. whatever it may be, they always had their way out in cheering me up.

They both came in for a group hug followed by zabya , asma mom aunts relatives and the chain went so long ;beyond my expectations, leaving stains of their lipsticks, causing more concern to samaira as she came to the stage with a tissue and started adjusting my make up.

"Oh my Allah! !!what is up with these ladies!!!you have decked up for zayed and these people have made up their mind to spoil the whole look before he sees you."

"Please don't remind me about that!", I said as I flushed.

"Oh-Oh look whose blushing"

"I am not blushing for Allah's sake! stop it please"

"DO you even know how to blush mairuu?"

"aasiya and zabya take her to the dressing room, zayed will be meeting her in a while. ", as mom instructed them I put my head down in embarrassment. All of a sudden, I wanted to check if I was fine.

As I looked into the mirror ,I asked aasiya if I was fine.

"Mairuuu!!!for the tenth time time I'm telling you, you look like a doll masha Allah. Absolutely stunning "

"The light candy pink colour of your dress has reached your cheeks . It cannot be make up. May be someone has that effect on you", samaira teased me.

"Oh please!!He doesn't have any..", I bit my tongue as I saw zee at the door.

Everyone's direction turned towards the door , as they giggled and sprinted out from the room in no time leaving me all alone. well not exactly !Zee was with me.

I immediately lowered my gaze darting at my sandals. I realised they are very pretty and go well with my dress. okay that's lame!buck up mairaaa! !!your not nervous okay! !!no no!!no butterflies are fluttering in my tummy. are you kidding me? I feel elephants are stomping in me. He looks handsome would be an understatement.

He cleared his throat ,shutting the door behind him.

"Assalamualikum "

He greeted with that sexy heavy voice of his, I could make out he was grinning by the tone he greeted me.

His voice got goosebumps all over me.Damn !!this is Crazzyy!

" walikum salam", I replied in a polite way.

"You look gorgeous , my angel"
MY Already pink cheeks turned red , with his compliment.

"And you look handsome "

"Did you even look at me?", he asked to which i mentally slapped my forehead.

He inched a step closer ,and cupped my cheek making me look at him.
Our gaze locked for what seemed like forever. I realised he has deep dark chocolate brown eyes. He looked really handsome with brown formals and designer coat.

"like what you see?",he asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"huh what?"

"like what you see?"

"Ummm!!" , was all I managed to say and looked down with a smile.

He inched closer bending down ,making me go weak in my knees as I closed my eyes he came near my ears and whispered,
I love the way you blush
.

That was it!!

He took my one hand in his slid his finger along my fore arm where the goosebumps were very evident.

"Umm! what were you saying to samaira? you don't have any?"

I mentally slapped myself for what I did.

"I was just eh...Ummm. .ummm"

"yes?go on ?!any what?"

"Any time to argue with her!Yesss!!!I don't have any time to argue with her", I squealed and repeated making it obvious that was not what I meant.

"cmon humaira!!you could have come up with something better !!But anyways I know what you were about to say, but would you still stand by that?", he asked while I simply looked down , as my cheeks started heating up and nodded a 'NO' and moved away facing my back to him.

He followed me, turned me to face him , firmly held my shoulders made my chin up causing me to look up at him.

"I love you Humaira! I love you for the sake of Allah ", He said every word crystal clear as it continously echoed in every corner of my soul , pulling me into a hug as I rested my face on his chest .

"I love you more zee!!", I said as he kissed my head.
