chapter 7

     بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 🌹

                      Hanan's POV

I stood before the long lengthen dressing mirror staring at myself intensely, I was dressed in an Ankara sewed into a gown, it's curbed and fits my body just perfectly, I had a simple casual makeup on my face and my head-cover was wrapped on my head perfectly also, my long veil that was adorn with sparkling stones was drifted over my head down my body stylishly and my hands were covered in both red and black henna with rings and bangles all over them giving me the look of the bride I am.

It was a Friday morning and it's 10: 00 o clock already the wedding fatiha is going to take place 10:30 dot

The house was in a total mess already, it looks absolutely unkept, my cousins were busy roaming in and out of my room getting ready for the wedding fatiha, everyone was busy with one thing or the other, so with that I got the chance to sneaked out to the back yard,

I walked into the other side of the garden and settled myself on one of the block made chairs that were  round the garden. As soon as I set down my butt on the block chair every thing came rushing and crashing in front of me like a movie. you know that feeling right, when you couldn't or wouldn't agree that something is happening or maybe you just think it's impossible for that particular thing to happen. Yeah that exactly what I'm feeling Right now, it still felt like a jock, as in, I Aisha Umar Maikarfi is getting married. wow!

I sat there for like forever thinking about nothing and everything just staring into space particularly not having a special thing to think about. its like my brain was condemned at that particular moment, because when I started thinking about a specific thing then suddenly I would fell to thinking about another thing different which was never my habit, as in everyone knows me as the strong headed and straight forward hanan. I don't even say yes to what I hardly wants to do talk less of having to think randomly about it. I scarcely do that, when I don't want something I directly say no to it and vice versa. But here I am fighting a battle with my heart to retain myself from doing something I don't want to, which is a seldom thing.

I didn't know for how long I have sat in that garden untill I felt two strong arms lifted me to my feet and shook me violently I prickle back to reality and heaved a sigh clearing my vision by blinking my eyes. Ya Adil stood in front of me with face frowned "have you been here all this while" he asked letting go of my shoulders "yeah, have they knots the tie, am I needed in their" I asked looking ahead of him into the house "this is 12:15 Hanan what have you been doing here" I let out a loud gasp bulging my eyes out of their socket in the process "what" I managed to uttered "we had been looking for you all over the house some have even started to think that you have ran away" he stated clearly annoyed "what, you know I couldn't even tried that. why would I " I asked wrinkling my brows "because you're obviously forced into the marriage" "and that not a reason, if everyone could do that probably not me and you knew that I don't run outta my problems rather I faced them" I confirmed adjusting my standing position "whatever, let's get in, you're going to get an earful from Mami thought the groom and his men were here and we looked everywhere for you but we couldn't find you" he voiced out as we started to walked back into the house " point of correction not everywhere exclude the garden pls" I said rolling my eyes and he pinched me, I let out a loud yelp and stamped my feet on the floor " this is not fair" I said " stop stamping your feet you're no more a kid you're getting married for Allah's sake" I didn't got the chance to answer him because we stepped into the parlor. he went ahead of me walking out of the parlor completely while I searched for the groom in the room with my eyes, he was no where to be found just as my gaze landed on Mami the kind of look she gave me tells me the end of the story.

                       Hameed's  POV
I walked toward the cars with a genuine smile on my face with Anwar right by my side, then Hameed and Adil following right behind us.

The wedding was finalized and to be sincere I was genuinely happy I can't say why thought but I wasn't getting that bad feeling about the whole thing anymore and the genuine smile on my dad's face was just enough for me to be happy too.

Earlier, after the wedding fatiha which went surprisingly well. we had a small reception at the masjid, a lot of my friends were able to attend my wedding including my course mates that were living abroad. from my Dada's side was also a lot of people plus my family which make it a grand wedding. After a quick speech from some of the Islamic scholar's that were able to grace the wedding with their presence we ate refreshments and then ended the event.

We were currently on our way to the brides house for traditional greetings, I didn't know how our first meeting will be like, but I'm already feeling nervous, I don't know whether if it's because I am an antisocial person or maybe because I know the lady I'm going to meet was a cold and no nonsense person and more to it we were arranged to be together. But Anyway I don't want to be a pessimistic person and this is still a different and unforgettable day for me so I don't want to ruin my day with those unwanted thoughts

It didn't took us long to arrived at the Umar mekarfi's resident. as soon as we were there we stepped down from the car and I took slow and steady steps into the building.

the house was a mess, people were everywhere, noise at All angles, as if it's going to burst your ears, we were ushered into the parlor by Mami's relatives and all the elderly women were in there and some few cousins of Hanan.

I sighted Mami in between the elderly women. she was talking with some of the women near her when her gaze landed on me and a genuinely smile appeared on her beautiful face she looked indubitably gorgeous as always and ya Allah I can't stop loving that woman.

she motioned for me to went closer to her and I did just that, with the same smile on my face. she did the unexpected, because she hugged me, I was taken a back at first but then I relaxed in her embrace and enjoyed the pleasurable moment of being in my mother's warmth. she stood just below my shoulders so I could feel my kaftan wetting from the chest 'is she crying' I asked myself and behold she has tears on her cheek when she raised her head up  "ya Allah Mami......" "Calm down Habibi" she cut me off "they are just tears of joy" she sniffed " I just, I'm just so happy that I happened to witness this day, your Abbi would have been so proud of you if he was still alive, thank you Hameed for doing this and I'm so proud of you" she smiles in between her tears.

I felt emotional, I couldn't say I single word, I just leaned in and pecked her forehead"I love you Mami" I said in a low and shaky voice "awwn this is so heart touching" Adil said dramatically placing his palm on his chest with a dreamy expression on his face and we burst into a fit of laughter

After a round of pictures with almost every one I started to wonder were Hanan was, I didn't catch even a glimpse of her since I came here, as if Mami have read my mind she spoke "Adil go call Hanan, she must be upstairs with her cousins" she stated and he nodded then went ahead to do as told, after a short while he returned saying she wasn't upstairs,

It wasn't terrifying at first until we searched and searched and still couldn't find her,that was when I started to get worried Mami tried to calm me down with her soothing words telling me that Hanan just hide somewhere and would be found, I felt at ease but still that nagging feeling couldn't leave because of the people that were saying she ran away.

We left unwillingly after Mami promised to call me if they find her and so I had no choice but to leave.
