The engagement preparations have started.

Only 3 days left...

Noor is taken to the parlour forcibly might I add considering how much she hates applying chemicals onto her face .

She gets some basic stuff done and heads home.

The sleep after getting a facial is really worth it.

She rests we'll that day.

The next day she gets ready to apply henna on her hands.

She wanted her engagement to be really simple and small however nobody can stop desi people.

The engagement day arrives.

The relatives from nearby cities start coming one after the other to her house

The rooms were all ready.

Now it looks like a celebration.

At around 6 in the evening,

The house is a mess

Half of the people running from one room to another
Some people lost their jhumkas while others forgot to iron their shirts

Some need space to do their makeup while others are hungry

People were going haywire basically

It was 8:00 in the evening

The bride was getting ready.

The elders of the house left early to be the hosts of the party while all youngsters were still getting ready.

A beautiful gown was sent from Aman's mom. It was dark green in color with delicate embroidery design.

The small beads hanging from the dupatta looked like small shiny stars.

It was beautiful.

Hayat ,Iman and Iqra were waiting for mahnoor.

When mahnoor entered,

The 3 of them were in awe looking at her.

She was looking really pretty .

The night was lively...
Everyone was enjoying , taking pictures and selfies...hayat sat next to mahnoor and was teasing her.

That's when she noticed a lady checking her out.
She ignored it and went to have dinner.

It was 11:30 at night .

hayat had to leave since her mother wasn't feeling well.

Also the reason her mum couldn't come today.

So she started wearing her Abaya and that's when the same girl who was eyeing her came and started talking to her.

The conversation was really weird but she kept asking if she knew her Who is she? Where does she live n stuff like that.

Hayat answered them and left immediately.

The ring ceremony began .

Noor recieves compliments from everyone about how pretty she looks.

Aman's mom had got her so many gifts and a beautiful ring.
She gives them to her .

It was 12:45am.

After taking so many pictures and talking to so many people...

Mahnoor was drained.

She didn't have no more social battery

She finally left for her home after receiving many blessings and duas from elders of the family.

It was the next day and the groupchat was flooding with messages.

Pictures from yesterday and a whole lot of gossip .

Mahnoor's mum was saying that a few people asked for hayat yesterday.

So she decides to tell her

Hayat's pov:

I was messaging on groupchat when I saw the message from mahnoor that some people were asking for me.

I ignore it and continue talking about how good she was looking.

At around 6 in the evening

I stop mid workout to get a refill of water

that's when my mom gets a call from someone.

" assalamualaikum
Yes
Oh yesterday
Ahaan
Yeah sure why not
You can send the pic and details
I will then ask her dad
Jazakallah
Allah hafiz"

That's all I hear.

I go back to my room and continue working out.

It's strength training today.

This is going to be intense and fun.

XOXO.
