"Amira Elham, kya aapko ye nikkah Suleiman Yawar Hashmi, haq meher 50 lakh, ke saath qubool hai?"
Amira froze, she was literally shaking, her mother in law was holding her left hand while her dayi maa was holding her right hand, her mil gently squeeze her hand, asking her to answer.
"Q..Qubool hai"
"Qubool hai"
"Qubool 'sob' Hai'
Everyone present in the hall hooted and mubarak baads rang in the lavish hall of Hashmi mansion as she signed the nikkah nama.
Amira hugged her Dayi maa so tightly and started weeping, everyone patted her head and asked her to 'don't cry'. Soon the men also came back from mosque, hugged Suleiman and Congratulated him.
When Amira wasn't leaving her grandmother and mumbling something, shahnoor pulled herself back and cupped her face.
"Meri bachchi, aaj to bohot khushi ka mauka hai, aise kyu ro rhi hai?"
"M..m..maan chahiye" She whispered shakily while nodding her head, everyone awed at her innocent appeal.
Dadi ammi told Bahr to call Suleiman inside, and told everyone to leave her alone as she wants Suleiman to console her right now, one by one, everybody left the hall and Suleiman entered.
"Elham?"
She snapped her head towards him and held her arms up, telling him to hug her, hold her. He immediately took her in his arms and made her sit on his lap, she buried her head in the crook of his neck and sniffled, hugging his waist tightly.
"Jaanam! Ro kyu rhi ho? Itni khushi ka din hai aur tum roye jaa rhi? Mera dil baitha jaa rha hai, nahi ro please?" He whispered gently in her ears, still hugging her tight.
"D-D-Dayi ammi ki yaad a-ayegi" She said whimpering, and he physically hissed, not liking the way she was tiring herself.
"Meri Jaan! Na tum kahi jaa rhi ho na amma, bss ghar ke peeche hi to rehti hai amma, tum chaho to vo humaare saath bhi reh skti hain"
She composed herself and said "Nhi unhe wahi rehne de,main kitni stupid hun,vo mujhe smjhati thi ke dusre ghar jaaogi to waha main nhi rhungi aapko sambhalne, wahi apko meri tarbiyat prove krni hogi, to main unko proud feel krwaungi bohot zyaada" She wiped her tears like a little baby with the back of her hands.
He chuckled at her and made her stand, wiped her remaining tears and intertwined their hand only to gently drag her to hall where everyone was present.
In the Hall, bahr was gossiping with cousins haniya, hajra, sayema and daud.
"Kahin inn logon ne yahi pe to uhm uhm nhi shuru kr diya?" Bahr said with a jaasoos wala face.🧐
Sayema scrunched her nose and said "bhaijaan kaisi baatein kr rhein hai, badi ammi ko maine bta diya na to vo kal aapka keema hum sb ko parosengi"
Other cousins shivered in disgust while haniya was burning in jealousy.
"Oye chachundar ki teesri aulad, zyada dimag na chala warna Suleiman bhai tujhe iss duniya se chala denge" Said Daud, slapping the back of his head.
"Bss kro apni khusur pusur aur jaake khana khaa lo, kutton ke jaise kaam kiya hai aaj tum logo ne" Said Bade abbu while chuckling at their 'Haalat'.
