"Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; and turn away from the ignorant. And if an evil suggestions comes to you from satan, then seek refuge in ALLAH, indeed HE is Hearing and Knowing."
-Al Qur'an 7:199/200
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
"Shall I not tell you of something that is better than fasting, prayer and charity?" They said: Yes. He said: "Reconciling between two people, for the corruption of that which is between the hearts is the shaver (destroyer). It is the shaver, and I do not say that it shaves hair, rather that it shaves religious commitment."(al-Tirmidhi- hasan)
Misunderstanding; a mere mouthful word can cause so much harm to a pious relationship, and leaves a person helpless when they aren't able to clear the misunderstanding. Kinza was feeling the same. She didn't know how to take away those sadness which had clouded her husband's face.
"What's happening here, Haan?"Heena asked looking wearily at Daniyal who was more interested in counting the infinite stars against the deep greyish blue shaded sky. He knew very well that both his wife and mother were gazing at him.
"I didn't think of you to be Romeo type, Dani!"Heena chided in a teasing tone.
"Mom.. "Daniyal said finally paying attention to Heena as a sweet smile portrayed on his lips. "I came here to meet you!"
"Really? But it doesn't seem like that, does it Kinza?"Heena asked Kinza who was staring at her beautiful maroon henna clad hands.
"Yes mom, He is right."She said looking at Daniyal who was trying to avoid her gaze.
"It's okay if you wanted to meet and it's really overwhelming to know that you two can't live without each other for even a day!"Heena said as her eyes filled with tears.
"Mom, Its nothing to cry about!"Daniyal mused as he glanced at Kinza from his peripheral vision.
"It is! Come here."Heena said opening her arms for a hug and they both embraced her in hug of mother love as their arm brushed gently against each other whilst they pulled apart.
"I never knew my son was so romantic and cheesy."Heena said in a teasing tone dabbing at her tears of happiness seeing her kids growing up and falling for each other, deeply, madly in love.
"Romantic and Me are both poles apart, mom."Daniyal grimaced while kinza gave him how-dare-you-lie? look.
"Kinza's glare says something else beta."
"Haan, huh, no mom. I.. I didn't glare."Kinza rambled as she shifted in her place. It was a totally awkward moment. On the other Daniyal was enjoying her awkwards with his signature lop-sided grin.
"I wish your dad was romantic, not that I complain. But he didn't come to meet me on my mehendi."
"Aww.. mom."Kinza said while Daniyal laughed and said,
"You want Dad to climb the pipe?"
"What, you climbed the pipe, ya allah, are you okay?"
"Really? I thought you were just boasting."
Daniyal heard his Mom and Kinza say simultaneously.
"Relax mom, am alright and Kinza I don't boast."He said the last word without looking at kinza which made her heart clench in pain.
"Let me talk to you after the function Mr. Romeo and kinza you have two minutes."
With that Heena walked out of the room leaving them in a eerie silence.
"Daniyal.."Kinza breathed out slowly and after a moment of silence he turned towards her. It was only then He noticed her dress and Henna on her hands and foot, she looked breathtakingly beautiful. In his haste to meet her and talk to her, he hadn't noticed it.
The gathered long skirt of the deep shade of green had a dazzling yet simple gold embroidery. The vibrant green colour of the Ghagra didn't overshadow the amber one, the kurti hiding the midriff was given the same contrast concealing the collar and falling from the shoulder edge to wrist were lacy golden embroidery on the sheen of the soft netted cloth. The golden border covering all four sides of the emerald silk cloth complimented the dress perfectly.
In simple words, Kinza looked gorgeous.
Daniyal was broken from his reverie when Kinza called him again.
"I didn't mean that."She said gulping the bile as she felt a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.
But Daniyal suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be angry on her and turned away from her and kinza smiled at his childish behaviour reminiscing their childhood days when Kinza would ask him if she needs to do sit-ups holding her ears and Daniyal would reluctantly accept her apology, even before she starts doing it.
"You want me to do sit-ups?"She asked with a playful smirk and she knew very well that Daniyal was hiding his smile, as he bite the inside of his cheeks.
"Daniyal, please talk to me."She said in a pleading tone. "Am not gonna do sit-ups now!"She wailed but he didn't pay any heed to her enjoying the moment.
"Okay, lemme do!"Kinza said holding her ears but before she could start Daniyal cut her off and she stood frozen.
"What did you mean by I would have said no?"Daniyal asked, his forehead creased.
"I.. I was.. "
"Are you being forced?"He surmised.
"What? Why would.. "She started trying her best to justify but was interrupted by Heena calling her.
She didn't know two minutes can cause so much.
Two minutes were so much worth.
Yes, it was partly true that Kinza had agreed for the rukhsati, after reading her Abbu's letter and she had no other option, but to go with it as they both were already in Nikah (married). It was not like she didn't like Daniyal. Some where deep down in her heart, kinza knew she wanted to be with him.
At first the prospect of accepting the fact that Daniyal and her were husband and wife was a bit of harsh reality for her.Yet she had accepted it, instead of running away. For heaven's sake, He was with her since she opened her eyes in this world. They were best friends. And they had spent almost all of their life together.He was with her in all her happiness and sorrow.
"Instead of wailing and pouting like a kid, I should have talked clearly even if he didnt pay any attention,"Kinza thought.
"Coming."She shouted back and glanced at Daniyal helplessly. He stood staring past her, folding his arms against his chest.
It was only at this moment, it dawned on her that how it feels to experience a cold behaviour from the one you love; deeply, whole-heartedly.
Oh how she felt ecstatic realizing her love for her husband. A feeling; so pious and sacred. A feeling; twenty six alphabet wasn't suffice to describe.
Kinza's lips curved up in a huge smile, inching closer to him with slow steps, she did what was least expected from her.

After sending the text to Iram and kinza, Safina had a huge grin on her face playing a Cupid. Threading her way back to the room along the hallway, the whole house was swarmed with guests from Kinza and Iram's family.
The elders were enjoying the Falooda with italian delight and so many other delicacies, as they chortled about life and different things. It was like a kind of get together for all of them. She couldn't help but miss her cousins from maternal side.
"Where are Iram and kinza?"Safina was startled to hear aunt kausar, Iram's mum asking her.
Turning towards kauser, she mumbled fastly."umm, I don't know, ok bye Iam gonna play with girls." And ran for her life, leaving a confused kouser behind.
"What happened?"Sidra asked as safina joined her in room were he girls were playing charades.
When Safina told her that Daniyal
and Ayaan had come to meet their partners, Sidra's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets as her lips curved in O Shape.
"Close your mouth. someone will find out something is fishy!"Safina whispered, eyeing the girls to see if any of them were paying attention to her but she jumped in her place when one of Iram's cousin, Farheen had heard her conversation and asked "what's fishy?"
"ah..erm..umm..fish fish.."Sidra mumbled and safina completed her sentence quickly. "Fish,fish is for dinner, fish tikka, fish tandoori, fish manchori!
"Seems like you love fish!"Farheen concluded and Sidra nodded like a kid while Safina prayed that there would be at least one of the dish for the dinner which she mentioned to farheen.
Sidra and Safina got up to walk out of the room after talking through eye movements when farheen's sister, samreen asked, "where are the brides?"
"They are getting ready!"Sidra replied and they both literally ran out of the room to text Iram. Kinza and Daniyal were already married, so they could meet and do whatever they want,
(A/N:Rofl:p) But Ayaan was still a non-mehram to Iram and people had a habit of exaggerating things with some spice and masala even if the matter was equal to a tiny mustard seed. So it was better if nobody knew that Iram and Ayaan met, even though they wouldn't do anything inappropriate.
___________
"Am here for you, to see you, after trying hard to get in, yet you are fascinated by your henna?"Ayaan complained with a chuckle while Iram, who was sitting on the couch admiring the henna design on her Palm, while Ayaan sat at a considerable distance on the king- sized bed.
Iram was totally taken with a mix of surprise and shock as she spotted Ayaan sitting coolly in one of the rooms. It was a good thing that the ground flooor was very spacious and the guest didn't need much space. So the first floor was un-occupied.
Iram never thought that this was the surprise,Safina had meant. Though she was a bit hesitant to meet him alone behind closed doors. The fear of Satan making them do bad was always in her heart.
"Tried hard?"She asked looking at him.
"Yep, we climbed the balcony."He laughed thinking about the way they had tried to sneak in." I mean, I was half way climbing the pipe but Daniyal said the door is locked from inside, so we abandoned that plan."
"I never thought you to be so filmy!"Iram replied after over-coming the shock and surprise.
"Actually Dani wanted to clear something with Kinza and so Rihab suggested this idea, and me being his best bro, had to accompany him."
"So you just came here to accompany Daniyal jiju, but not to meet me?"Iram asked feigning hurt and Ayaan couldn't help but laugh at her cuteness.
"Ofcourse, that was the main reason, I came here!"Ayaan said and when Iram met his eyes, he winked at her, making Iram's cheeks pink as she blushed prettily.
"Show me your henna."Ayaan said.
"No, you 'll get to see it only after our Nikah because..."Iram stopped as they heard the clicking of heels and in a flash of second they both rushed to washroom to hide.
"We.. are playing.. Hide and seek!"Iram said in between her laugh in a slow whisper and Ayaan couldn't tear his gaze away from her.
"Hush, someone will hear you."He said keeping a finger on his lips, silencing her.

Safina and Sidra had knocked and checked on all the rooms upstairs except for kinza's room.
"I think Ayaan jiju left."Sidra concluded.
"Yea, let's go."Sidra said climbing down the stairs and Safina was about to follow her when she heard some noise from the terrace.
"Sidra.."She called leaning over the bannister but Sidra was already out of sight. Disregarding the noise she was about to go downstairs when she heard the same noise again from the terrace.
Removing her high heels and switching on her Sherlock Holmes detective mode, she went over to the terrace with slow careful steps expecting to see some cat or puppy from the neighborhood.
But what she didn't know was she was going to meet the person who had the ability to make her heart beat race.

Daniyal closed his eyes momentarily as Kinza lips brushed his stubble cheek not more than second and she made an unsuccessfull attempt to dash out of the room after being a culprit in making Daniyal feel whirlwind of emotions.
"That wasn't enough to gain my forgiveness!"He whispered pulling Kinza against his chest.
"I have to go, Mom called me."She said trying to get rid of his grasp.
"Okay,"Daniyal said leaving her wrist as his lips were curved in a smile ."But am not done yet." With that he walked over to the door and opened it for her like gentleman.
As Kinza walked past him trying to control the butterflies and somersaults in her stomach , she murmured thousands of thanks to ALLAH azza wa jal in gratitude for making her realize her love for him. Indeed, Nikah vows has the power to make two people fall for each other, even if they were on the two opposite side of the world.
