Zenish
" Mashallah! You look beautiful zee" my best friend exclaimed, though she knew everything but unlike me she has a hope that someday I will be happy. I gave her a smile
I noticed her disturbed from few days yet she haven't, I know she will tell me after some time. I heard a knock on door, mama appeared, the moment she entered her expression changed to adoration. I walked upto her in my beautiful bridal dress
"You have grown up too fast Zenish look today is your wedding" her eyes filled with tears but she composed herself, i know these tears are of sadness but she was hiding it by her smile. i hugged her tightly
"I will be always your little girl mama" I whispered to her ears
She smiled at me but this time this was real smile, with that she left me with my cousin and friends. After about half n hour, we heard a knock and tayabba (papa's elder brother) along with my chachu (papa's younger brothers) and Qazi sahab entered. I looked around them but papa wasnt there. I frowned when my brothers came but papa didnt. As Qazi sahab was about to start
"Wait Qazi sahab papa isnt there yet?" I stopped him. They all stared me silently but Zaryaab and Zahaan werent surprised because they knew I once said to papa he will hold my hand when my nikkah will start
"Dont worry zee, he will be here but lets start" Zaryaab gave me assurance. I wanted to protest but nothing came out
"Do you Zenish Shah, daughter of Rehan Shah accept Shayaan Ahmed son of Sajjid Ahmed as your husband" Qazi Sahab asked but then i felt a hand on my hand I look up to find papa sitting with me, he gave me a nod
"I accept"
Do you Zenish Shah, daughter of Rehan Shah accept Shayaan Ahmed son of Sajjid Ahmed as your husband" He asked again
"I accept"
Do you Zenish Shah, daughter of Rehan Shah accept Shayaan Ahmed son of Sajjid Ahmed as your husband" He asked again
I felt my hands shaking just one more acceptance and my life will be signed to him, I will be a wife to him. Till now my life wasnt burdened by any type of responsibilities, but after this many things will be expected. Will I able to fulfill my every responsibilities? Will I survive with a man who i despise? Will i ever be loved in this marraige?
I felt squeezed on my hand which brought back me from my reverie. I looked papa and mama,s voice rang in my ears her advise that she gave me last night. Those words gave me some new confidence
"I accept" I replied. People around bursted in happiness, papa gave me a hug and kissed my forehead, every one patted my head. As the male left ladies rushed to me. Mama came forward and kissed my forehead, behind her spotted my mother in law who had tears if happiness, she came forward and hugged me
"Welcome to our family my daughter" I reciprocated her hug, no matter how much i dislike that man who is my husband but his family always make me feel warm especially his mother
Now I am his wife, get ready Shayaan Ahmed life with me will not be turned out on your expectation and i will make sure about it

Shayaan
"Mashallah my son is looking so handsome today" I heard my mom behind me, I turned to look at her she gave me her one of the famous warm smile which is enough for me to know my mom is very happy. She walked up to me, and button up my last button which i left when i saw her
"Finally my son is getting married, finally he found his perfect girl for him" mom squealed in excitment, I smiled
Guilt crept on me thinknig how fake this is, I dont even know the girl I am getting married is perfect for me or not, will she be like every girl i met, a gold digger bitch? Will she be proved a good wife for me. Honestly I dont expect her to be obedient wife because things I did to her, she didnt take it silently she fought back or I can say try to. I hope my messed up life dont get more messed after getting married
"From now you wont be alone, she will be with you. She will be your responsiblity, your wife. A girl leaves her dear one for a man whom she going to live with, she expects her husband respect and love her" Mom said in firm tone
She is indeed leaving everything behind, I cant give love becasue I dont beleive in this nonsense but that doesnt mean i will treat her bad, unless she stays in limit, I am no harm to her
"Mom you dont have to tell me this I know this and I know how to fulfill my responsiblities to my family, didnt i prove it in past" I said
"Yes I know my son is responsible but you still dont know how to control your anger, I am warning if you hurt her, you will face me. Dont make me say this in future, remember that" She said deeply looking in my eyes straight. One thing about my mom she can be very intimidating only when she wants
"I will not give you a chance to say" I promised to which she smiled brightly
"I wish Rayaan would be here too on this auspicious day" She sighed, my jaws clenched
"Its his choice mom, we cant force anyone to come and my marriage wont stop because of his absence" I said gritting my teeth, mom sensed my anger and kept silent. One thing I dont like whenever Rayan topic came i end up hurting her with my words. I hugged her tightly so that her sadness vanish
"Lets go we are getting late" With that we left to marraige venue
About half an hour we reached and warmly welcomed by Zenish's family, something amazed me about Zenish's family, that she have a big family. I mean a family where you have so many uncles and in both maternal and paternal side, they were all warm and welcoming . On the other it was me whose family is small as compared to Zenish. See my dad was only son of my grandfather, dad's cousin are not to close to us, they get close when they find they are in need except of few while on the other hand mom has one sister and one brother, they lives in Austrailia due to long distance our relation is not that close, you see thats why I am admiring her big family
I met many guest who were talking to me in Urdu moslty, I just couldnt get what they were saying clearly, but i know they said nothing bad about me looking like the way they are talking to me with smile. I was sit on stage where elders with younger one came up with Qazi Sahab
Zaryaab came up with smile and said "Shayaan bro Zenish said her yes now its your turn" my heart skipped a beat on knowing she accpeted me as husband
"Lets start" My dad said
"Do you Shayaan Ahmed, son of Sajjad Ahmed accept Zenish Shah, daughter of Rehan Shah as your wife?" Qazi Sahab asked
"I accept"
He asked two more time and I replied the same. He gave me Nikkah agreement and I signed it, in matter of ten minutes I became married from single. Dad came and hugged me, patted my shoulder
"Oh my god I never thought, I will see this day my rude best friend will get married. Oh God next is my turn yipee finally dude you cleared the roads for me" Ahmer exclaimed dramtically and hugged me
"Well I never stopped you from getting married you jerk" I hugged him back.
Zenish's father hugged me, his eyes had unshed tears
"Dont worry she will be fine and safe with me, I do not intend to hurt her" The words auomatically slipped from my tongue, which left me surprise me and him also. He gave me curt nod. Zenish's cousin and friend came up and congratulated me
It wasnt longer the laddies cleared the aisle for bride to walk, and then she appeared in front of me dressed in her bridal attire adorned with jewelleries. The more she came forward the more my heart raced, I just couldnt stop staring because the girl infront of me is none other than my wife. The thoughts itself trigger many emotions within
She was made sit beside me, the guest came up and congratulate us
"Allah tum dono ki jori salamat rakhe aur tum dona ko khoobsurat bachon se nawaze, humesha khush" One lady came up and said, I noticedher going red, even though she was caked up in heavy make up but I can detect she was blushing
"Thank you Ayesha aunty" She patted our heads and left
"What did that aunty said" I asked, she looked starled
"Nothing just blessing us" she said looking somewhere
Now this is a lie
"Tell me exactly what she said that made you blush, you tell or I am going to ask her" I tried to sound little dangerous so that she answer me
"May Allah keep you happy and bless you.......with beautiful kids" She stammered to which i chuckled, I wanted to laugh seeing her nervousness but restrained myself from doing but this was hilarious seriously.
Soon the photographers came to for photo shoot of bride and groom. He started suggesting us position for pictures, and we followed despite of my dislikness, I had to because you see mom glaring you at your every moment and if you did something against she will burst out in anger. Yet having Zenish so close in most of the position making my heart doing crazy beating in my chest which was too new and annoying. I dont know how many pictures have been taken trust me for the first time in my life I posed for so many pictures and had allowed selfies on request of our cousins
After our photo session her cousin and brothers along with her friends gathered around us, they were eying with mischeif.
"Our dear brother in law welcome to our crazy fanclub" Zaryaab pronounced while people around them chuckled. I watched them amused
"You know, if you hurt Zenish, just remember that she dosent have shortage of brothers" One of them spoke, I could tell his voice was full of warning. Anger started rise as some stranger warning me how to behave
"I donot inted to hurt her but may I know who are you to tell me that" I asked gritting my teeth but still composed myself from bursting infront of everyone
"Saad Khan Zenish's best friend" He introduced himself, i nodded curtly
"Ok enough I know bro, you are married but remember that you are not married to any other girl you married to my sister" Zaryaab started to say and I listened him silently
"I promised to my sister to say her groom on her marraige day" He paused, I looked up to see her who was actually glaring her brother
"It will be hard for you to live with her but you will survive this. I will pray for you and if you need any tip, I will help you after all I am so great" He expressed in dramatically to which everyone laugh
"So thoughtful of you my dear brother" She said sarcastically
"Aww my sis you know how much I love you, I just cant help warning you husband that whom he had married"
I saw the sibling bickering each other which I found cute and funny but when I saw tears in her eyes, I began to feel uncomfortable, so our elders came up announcing that its time to leave. I saw my wife who was looking to her family, she hugged her cousins, her best friend, her brothers and then her parent. I could hear her sniffing as hugged her parent tightly. For the first time I was rethinking on my decision whether I did right or wrong but what is done, is done. May be her obedience will make my decision change.
********************
Zenish
It is time to leave, time to leave my parents house and my parents too. How will I live without them? the thought itself scaring me as hell. Every girl has to leave one day her parent's house and start her life with her husband but other girls doesnt face this situation atleast they know they can meet or call their parent but I can not. I hugged every one my khala, chahci tayyi ammi and al my cousin, my bestie Anum. Last but not the leat my brothers and my parents
"Take care of our parents in my absence promise Zaryaab you will take care of everything" I asked, as I hug him
"I will I promise" He patted my head. I smiled to him
"Take care of yourself and study hard for your upcoming exams" I hugged Zahaan
"Of course! sis I will"
I proceeded to my mama, she smiled at me with tears in her eyes "I love you mama please remember this I will miss you"
"I love you too beta, take care of yourself"
I looked at papa who was opening his arms for me, not wasting time I hugged him capturing this feeling for two years that I will have to live without them
"You will find me smiling when you will come to meet us" He whispered to me
"I will miss you" I said
"I think I will too but remember when you miss us badly pray for us, you willl feel better" He suggested, I nodded at him
"Dont worry Mr. Shah your daughter will be now our daughter, we will give her less chances to miss you all" I heard her mother saying
"Lets leave" His dad said. I saw Shayaan hugging my brother and then my father whispering something in his ear. I frowned as now what does he wants. We sat in our cars, his parents and relative drove in their respective cars while me and he are in his car alone. He started engine waving my last bye, we drove to start our new life
