Author's POV
The nikkah was finally completed so the bride and groom were made to sit beside each other. Both busy in themselves. The groom has been whispering stuff while the bride was blushing profusely. The camera man was busy taking pictures of these moments.
Tooba was crying at the fact that her daughter has grown so much. Her husband hugged her sideways blinking away his tears.
Maryam along with Abiha were attending the guests. While Maheen was looking after the bride's comfort. Faris was busy with Huzaifa clicking pictures whereas Fahad was actually doing work with his dad. As for Taimur he was threatening the groom to treat his sister properly.

Meerab and Humza were sent to a room to talk privately as husband and wife. Maheen and Ibrahim were talking among themselves.
"Tooba, who is that beautiful girl talking to Rubana Khala(Aunt)?", question Mrs. Karem.
Mrs. Karem was one of their business associates wife and had known them since four year.
Tooba glanced back to look who she was pointing, only to find Abiha laughing with her dadi.
Tooba smiled and replied that she is Arham Khan's only daughter Abiha. Khan's eldest granddaughter.
"I never saw her before", question another women who has been beside Mrs. Karem.
'She was abroad, studying', said Tooba not wanting to tell the whole reason.
The other women however were pleased by the answer. They have been noticing Abiha and found her a good match for their sons.
"Won't you introduce us to her" said Mrs. Karem while Tooba could clearly notice the eagerness in her tone.
Not wanting to offend the ladies she called Abiha who joined them shortly after. As soon as she came and asked her Tayi ammi the matter, the ladies started praising and blessing her, startling the poor soul who had no idea what was happening.
Abiha simply smile not wanting to be rude.
"Masha Allah, you are beautiful Abiha", said Mrs Karem to Abiha who in return blushed.
"You are pretty, yourself aunty", said Abiha. The ladies however were more impressed by her response.
"Meet my son Asif", said Mrs. Karem pushing forward her son who nobody noticed until now.
Mrs Karem started bragging about her so called son saying how he was looking after his father's business after completing his studies from abroad. All the while Abiha kept nodding and smiling occasionally.
"Asif why don't you talk with Abiha for sometime, share your experience of studying in london", Mrs. Karem said to her son who also seemed to be interest in her.
Taimur was passing through the ladies looking for his mother when he stopped hearing someone mention Abiha's name.
'Masha Allah, they make such a good couple', said a lady who he recalled as Mrs Karem. Around her were another bunch of ladies, clearly the gossiping ones.
'No, she would look more good with my son, let him come in the reception, you will see yourself ', said one of the lady.
'Nah, Nah, she would look good as my daughter in law matching my elegance'
'Oh shut up all of you, she is just perfect for my son' said another.
Turning in the direction everyone was staring at, he saw Abiha with a guy. The view itself was enough to burn him.
