It's been a week of shopping and stuffs and the functions were starting after a day. Shaikh family has arrived a day before the functions and they were living in a resort.

Mayon Day(Haldi)~

The brides and grooms got ready for their mayon which is happening seperatly. Aneesa was shouting profanilities at the youngers to move their hands fast in works.

Aneesa- Adnaan jaldi se jake gadi nikalo.. Adeeba kab se haldi leke ready hai.. Shifa ke ghar jana hai..

Adnaan- ha ammi bs ye-

Aneesa- chhod do wo kaam Hasnain dekh lega..

Aneesa said in a mother tone making Adnaan run for his life. Adnaan and Adeeba left for Shifa's house with her haldi. Meanwhile Samreen was putting the gifts and haldi in the car to take it to Zaarah's house.

Samreen- ammi maine sab rakh diya hai aap dekhle ek baar..

Aneesa- sab thik hai bs tum dono bhi niklo.. kitna time laga dete ho..

They both also left for Zaarah's house.

Meanwhile in Faisal's room.

Zarka- Bhai jara araam se khade rahe wrna ye pin lag jayegi..

Faisal- seedha to khada hun.. tumhe koi kaam aata bhi hai..

Zarka look at him then throw the brotch on the bed.

Zarka- phir khud hi laga len.. mai ja rahi hun Simran ke pass abhi mere hairs banane baki hai..

Faisal- tum logon ka makeup hi nahi khatam hota hai dusro ki help kya karogi..

Zarka- ek dafa bhabhi ko aa jane den.. phir puchungi aapse mai.. makeup hi nahi khatam hota hai..

She mimic him in sarcastic tone just then Junaid(Zarka's Husband) enter inside the room while holding a little baby in his arms.

Junaid- Kis bat pe behes ho gayi abb aap dono bhai behen me..

Faisal- kuch nahi bs aapki begum ko makeup se fursat nahi hai.. abhi hairs bache hai..

Junaid- dekhe Faisal bhai meri begum ko kuch na kahe.. pura din to Zulekha ka dhyan hi rakhti hai.. pr unke eklaute bhai ki shadi hai bhala kaise jaane de..

Faisal- hmm zaroor zaroor..

Junaid- Zarka tum jake ready ho jao mai bhai ki help krdunga..

Zarka- Zulekha-

Junaid- zulekha so rahi hai..

Zarka- okay

Zarka happily left the room making Faisal rolled his eyes. Junaid made Zulekha lie down on the bed and help Faisal with the things.

Faisal- Zulekha tum bilkul apni ammi ki tarah mat banna.. Tumhari mami se bol dunga tmhe train krdengi..

Junaid- abhi se mami ke gurgaan ho rahe hai kya pata kal ko hume pehchanne se inkaar ho jaye..

Faisal- jab miloge usse to pata chal jayega itne gurgaan kyu ho rahe hai..

Faisal said with a fond smile making Junaid shake his head.

Sometime later Hasnain come in his room and take him out for the function. Faiz and Faisal both sat down on the small stool while holding some laddos in their hands. The elders one by one come and applied haldi on their faces and made them eat laddos from their hands only.

The youngsters did play holi with the haldi in whole garden and with this laughing and playing the mayon function ended.

■

The function started after Shadan and Sameera brought haldi and stuffs to Ansari house. Zaarah was wearing yellow frock with her head covered with becautiful lacey dupatta. She was sitting on a small decorated stool with her hands full of laddoos.

The elders come one by one and applied haldi on her face. When her mother come to apply haldi she was not able to control her tears missing her husband and seeing her Zaarah also cried. The atmosphere was a bit gloomy but the function finished smoothly.

Next day was mehandi and sangeet. The girls and ladies from Shaikh family come to Ansari house and they all apply mehandi on their hands and enjoy the function by dancing together.

All the mens were in the resort and they decided to apply mehandi on grooms as the ladies were in hurry and left without even performing the ritual. So in the watch of Aslam eldest in both family they performed the ritual and applied mehandi on grooms hands as well. It was just a circle pattern on their palm followed by a inch on their pinky finger only. All function ended smoothly and it was finally the baraat day of Faisal and Zaarah.

■

Zaarah was getting ready in her room. There were few beauticians who were getting her ready. She wore red bridal sharara with perfect makeup. Her hair were tied in a messy bun with few hair strands falling on her face which were curled. Her jewellery was light but elegant. After getting ready they all left for the venue.

Meanwhile at the resort Faisal was also ready just the rituals of becoming groom were going on. The atmosphere was a bit gloomy remembering his father who so much want to see him as dulha. After performing all rituals they also left for the venue.

The Ansari family who were already at the venue welcomed 'baraat' with flower garlands and big smiles. They all enter the venue and Faisal was escorted to the stage where Zaarah was sitting already because their Nikah was already done. There was no veil between them. They both sat side by side on the decorated couch while other went busy stuffing their stomachs first.

Faisal- Bhut pyaari lag rahi ho..
