Aziz-E-Qalb

Amira was working in the kitchen (in her home) when she heard a knock on the front door.

She quickly washed her hands and rushed to open the door, when she saw who it was, she gasped.

"Assalamu alaikum-Amma bi aap yahan?" (Kis kis ko laga tha Suleiman hoga? 👀🌝) Amira moved aside to give her space so she could enter, they walked to the decent sized hall and Amira offered her to sit.

She then rushed to her Dayi maa's room and informed her about Zahira Bano's arrival.

"Assalamu alaikum Badi bi, aap ne yaha aane ki taklif kyu ki? Mujhe bula liya hota main khud mansion aa jaati" Shahnoor bi said politely and sat on the chair opposite of Zahira.

"Hum yahan Mansion ki malkin nhi, balke Suleiman ki dadi ammi ke taur pe aaye hain" She said smiling gracefully at Amira and Amira shyly rushed to the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks.

Both grannies chuckled at her shyness and decided to come straight to the point.

"Dekho Noor, main jaanti hun ke tum apni bachchi ko ache se ache ghar mein dena chahogi, humse bhi koi behtar khandaan mil jaayega humaari bachchi ko, par main chahti hu ke tum Suleiman ke baare mein sirf ek baar soch ke dekho? Tum to uski rag rag se waqif ho, jbse vo paida hua hai tbse use jaanti ho haina, mera bachcha dil ka bura nhi hai, bss thoda shant mizaaj ka hai, aur ahem thoda sa gussail hai pr kbhi Mira ko jismaani ya dimaghi takleef nhi de skta iski main guarantee leti hun" She completed her mini speech with a reassuring blink.

Shahnoor bi got silent and was lost in her own thoughts, 'will my chanda be able to live with these high class people?' 'What if she make mistakes and they send her back?' 'What if not everyone is willing to accept her?' So many what and ifs were bugging her.

"Assalamu alaikum Amma and Dadi ammi" A dominating yet soft voice boomed in the small hall, causing the hazel eyed beauty who was listening to the ladies talk curiously hiding behind the pillar to flinch and hide more.

The ladies replied with a salam and Amira also whispered a 'walaikum assalam' to herself.

Suleiman came towards the ladies and sat beside Shahnoor bi, took her hands in his, pressed them gently and started speaking.

"Amma... Main jaanta hun ke aap badi jaddojahad mein hongi, main smjhta hun, agar main aapki jagah hota to shayad main bhi shakk mein padh jaata, pr Amma, meri aapse bss itni request hai ke aap 'Heir of the Hashmi Corp." Ko side mein rkh ke apne Suleiman ke baare mein sochiye jo bachpan se aapki hi godi mein sar rkh ke sota aaya hai! Wahi Suleiman aaj aapse aapki sbse keemti Amaanat maangne aaya hai, agar aapko koi jaanch padhtal krani hai, aap be jhijak krwa sakti hain, bss bina kuch soche reject mat kr dijiyega, apki aur Uski razamandi ke baghair kuch nhi hoga, main vaada krta hun!" He spoke a little loudly because he knew that the certain someone was listening to their every single word.

"Mere bachche, mujhe aap pr koi shak ya shuba nhi hai, main apni jaan se zyada ap pe bharosa krti hun, pr mujhe duniya walon pe koi aitbaar nhi, meri phool si bachchi ka dil agar kisi ke zehrile alfaazo se dukh gya to main Allah SWT ko kya munh dikhaungi mere bachche? Agar tum uspe uthne wale har ek sawal ka barabari se jawaab dene ki zimmedaari loge to main khud apni bachchi ko mana lungi nikkah ke liye" Shahnoor expressed her distress to the man in front of her emotionally, Dadi ammi was waiting for his answer, and Amira was getting emotional listening to her dayi maa's distressed voice.

"Main vaada karta hun amma ke uspe uthne wali har ek awaaz ko halaq se khatam kr dunga, aur uske khilaf kahe gye kisi bhi lafz ka aisa jawaab dunga ke puchne wala apne paida hone pe afsos kare, ye Suleiman Yawar Hashmi ka vaada hai!" He spoke with a dangerous hint in his voice, causing goosebumps to rise on the 3 ladies whole body.

And at that moment, Shahnoor bibi knew that there's no one who can give such a huge assurance to her besides Suleiman.

"Bss ab tumhari ijazat ho Noor, to main dono bachchan ko ek baar baat kr lene ki khawahish rakhungi" Zahira asked politely, Shahnoor nodded and called her name, Amira who was still processing his words came back to earth and hurriedly warmed up the tea, poured in 3 cups moved towards them, He didn't even look at her which made her.... Restless? Unknowingly..

She handed everyone the cups of tea and stood beside Zahira.

"Jaa meri bachchi, Suleiman ko dailaan le jaa aur jo puchna ya kehna hai bol de, ab faisla tujh pe hi hai" Zahira patted her head as she nervously fidget the end of her kurti.

"Chalein please"

"Hm chalo"

They were standing face to face but she was looking down at his shoes, suddenly feeling really shy.

"Qalbi, please look at me?" He ask oh so softly that She blushed melted like butter right away (mee to 😩🫠) butterflies went wild in her stomach as she realized what he called her.

(Qalbi: Arabic term for 'My heart')

When she looked up, and found herself get lost in those heterochromia eyes, she's always been so interested in his Honey brown right eye and stormy gray left eye.

Asiya and Amira were the only kids who weren't scare of his eyes, Amira used to poke his eyes when she was a kid 🤭

"Do you trust me? Qalbi? Will you give me the honor of calling myself your 'Husband'? I have waited so long for you, Hayati" He said almost tearing up, this 6'3 tall handsome hunk wasn't afraid to bawl like a baby in front of his Qalb.

Her eyes also filled up hearing his gentle and loving tone, she was already convince when he assured her grandmother.

She couldn't find a man better than him even if she search with a "chiraagh".

" I trust you, Maan"

And with that phrase, their fate was locked with each other till eternity.....
