I looked outside the window everything was perfectly decorated with beautiful lightings and fresh flowers. Deep down i didn't want to leave everything behind, I'll miss my mama and baba , my bedroom this place has been my comfort zone all my life and now I'm going to leave it , I'll miss my novels*looking at the bookshelf*. Finally I'm going to get married*she said taking a deep breath* her eyes were glistening with tears.
I came out my thoughts when i heard a knock on the door , i wiped my tears with a tissue and opened the door to see my cousin's and Zara with some makeup artists , i was left alone with the makeup artists.
After almost two hours my mom came with my khala and mami .
Mashallah meri Beti kitni pyari lag rahi hai *Ammi said looking at me, i smiled a little*
I was tensed my hands were cold and sweaty because of nervousness suddenly mama took my hands in her hand and said- 2 "Asma are you okay? Why are looking tensed" she asked with a frown on her face
I hugged my mom's waist and let out my tears , she patted my back and kissed my forehead.

Mama I am scared , will i be able to be a good wife ? How am i going to manage everything? will i be able to keep this relationship together? Before i could say something more ammi cutt of my words-
Bacha it's fine i understand why you're nervous, everything is new for you but believe in allah, I'm sure he'll always protect you . She consoled me .
Ammi sat beside the couch and said -
A husband- wife relationship is a fragile thread , don't let anyone come between you two, i repeat never give authority to any third person a power to rule your relationship. Never let the ego come between you two. I'll not give you fake hope this journey isn't going to be easy , you both have to face many ups and down ,but never leave each other's side no Matter what. Try to understand him, support him and be honest with each other, respect each other's value and please be patient with everything Don't give up easily and communication is the key to make a relationship work , even if you have fights or quarrels end it before going to bed , my love and good wishes are always with you my bacha. *She caressed my cheeks and gave me a smile before leaving*
Shortly after we reached the masjid, i saw all the. Some i recognised and some i didn't. All their eyes were on me, i never liked to be the centre of attraction it always aggravated me, i holded my best friend's hand tightly, she hugged me and calmed me. Soon i sat on the designated seat beside my soon to be husband who was looking handsome wearing a off-white sherwani. He glanced at me and smiled slightly, after a while everyone gathered from both of the families and said 'mashallah' looking at me and hamza .

Everyone came and congratulated me , some elders recited some duas for us and gave blessings.
Hamza who was busy chatting with his friends , i looked at my surroundings everyone were busy with the guests , my best friend zara was also no where to be found ..
Suddenly someone pulled close by my waist and i looked at the owner of the hands and it was my husband who was holding me , i felt different maybe because we're officially wedded.
Hamza : Aap bohot khubsurat lag rahi hai begum . *he spoke softly in my ears*
A shiver went down my hearing his husky voice .
*I smiled at him *
Ruksati-
A few tears dropped my eyes looking at my parents who were emotional, i hugged my mama and baba and cried on their shoulder they both took me in a hug and carresed my cheeks and gave blessings to me. Soon i bid a bittersweet goodbye to everyone . .
