Entire Noor Villa was hustling and bustling since the morning irritating Sofia the hell out. She has been trying to focus on her work but the loud voices of her Bi Jaan who was instructing the maids to do proper work were disturbing her. It was Saturday morning and even though it was no holiday Sofia was made to sit at home for some special guest. 'Aisi taiyariyan hori hai jaise koi Pradhan Mantri aarhe ho' she mumbled to herself as she tried to focus on her laptop screen.

Minutes later she heard a knock on her bedroom door "Ji?"

The door opens revealing a very energetic Bi Jaan standing in her doorway "aap ab tak taiyar nahi hui?" Bi Jaan asked as she came inside Sofia's room.

"Two minutes more Bi Jaan I am just done with reviewing the samples for our new product," Sofia said not moving her eyes away from her laptop screen.

"No" Bi Jaan took the laptop away from Sofia's lap and placed it on her coffee table.

"Bi Jaan!" she whined.

"Shaam me kar li jiyega Sofia please ab taiyar hojaiye woh log aate hi honge" Bi Jaan requested to her stubborn little Sofia. For her Sofia was still a little stubborn girl whether she be at the age of her marriage.

Sofia whined again not yet ready to face the Abidi family. Her heart has been thumping nervously ever since she had heard about Abidi's visiting them at the request of his father she couldn't help but feel nervous. So nervous that she couldn't eat her breakfast properly.

Bi Jaan put her hands on her hip giving Sofia an intimidating look that says get up or else I will hit your lazy ass. Sofia sighed in defeat as she got down from her bed and went to her closet to change. Bi Jaan didn't leave her until she saw Sofia out of her closet wearing a decent dress then her comfy pajamas.

"Good girl jaldi se taiyar hoke niche aaiye warna hum phir se aajayenge upar aapko lene," Bi Jaan said before leaving the room.

Sofia groan and walked towards her dresser. She looked in the mirror and saw a grown-up woman in front of her. She soon will leave her comfort zone and start a new life with some new people who will be strangers to her. The most horrifying feeling for her was sharing a bed with a stranger! Her eye widens at that and she groans at those typical lines of the society 'Ladkiyan hoti hi paraye ghar ki' she stomps her feet on the floor "why do girls have to go through all this?! Ladke ghar jamai banjaye toh tauba tauba aur ladkiyan ghar chod k jaye toh wah wahi" she muttered to herself whilst combing her silky thick brown locks.

"Sofia!" comes a loud voice of Bi Jaan from downstairs.

"Haan aa rahi hu" she yelled back hurriedly wearing a diamond stud and throwing a red dupatta on her shoulder then she runs downstairs after closing her bedroom door.

Whereas Abidi's were all set to leave for Noor Villa which was only two hours away from their home.

Arsalan's Khala and Khalu with Zaid decided to join them to go to Noor Villa with his family. His father's side all resides in Lucknow his Taya Abbu and Chacha were so happy for him after getting the news of him getting hitched soon. His Dado couldn't stop giving him tons of blessings when Malakeh video called them the day before yesterday to give them the news. They all couldn't wait to attend their second eldest son's wedding. Whereas his Phuphi even though residing in Mumbai itself gave away the lame excuse of not being able to attend the dawat with them.

Zaid nudges Arsalan on his arm to grab his attention "Kya?" Arsalan asked him who was trying to reply to all the mails while waiting for the ladies to come down even he was not allowed to go to his office today after a lot of please and I will reach on time he had to cancel all his meetings because of her stubborn mother.
