Nothing is as beautiful as living in peace

(POV: Naina)

Here I was getting prepared in my room. A lot of people are gathered on me. Some are getting my hair ready, some are applying make up, while others are putting my cloth in place.

Yes, you guessed it right. I am getting married Today!!

I still remember how happy my parents were when I told them about my decision, to be zayyan's girlfriend. I received all sorts of praises and prayers from them. I was also happy.

For the past two months, Zayyan has been coming to visit me, taking me out with my Dad's permission, buying me gifts and eventually, asking me if I would marry him. I never thought that he would actually propose to me, but he did. It was so unexpected.

And I gladly and happily said yes. If not that it was Haram, Zayyan would have rushed to hug me that very moment☺️. He was so happy that he just kept on smiling while he was driving me back home.

After that, our families met. They set the day for the marriage ceremony and reception. Usually, people will want to have a lot of programs in their wedding, but I and Zayyan chose to have a simple reception, which will take place immediately after the wedding. We will only invite our close family and friends.

Yesterday was a busy day. In fact, two weeks before today was extremely hectic. We had to prepare a lot for the wedding, go for shopping, prepare the invitations and send them out. I also had to take care of myself and take a leave from work. Because my father was an influential person in the medical sector, I was able to get a holiday with no stress. My colleagues also promised to come for the wedding.

Yesterday, I had a hard time trying to sleep. I was getting the jitters that brides get before their weddings. I thought of the few months that passed, how Zayyan showed his feelings for me in beautiful ways. I must say, even though I don't love him, it would just be a matter of time before I do so. He already makes me feel things that I didn't want to after Sa'id's case, and I must admit, the way I feel for Zayyan is totally different from the way I felt for Sa'id. It is deeper, and mysterious in a way I can't explain. Maybe I like him already, but I want to confirm my feelings for him first before telling him.

Today, I sat down as the people in my room moved around to make me look as beautiful as I can ever be. I already told them that they should apply the make up lightly. I am not the type that enjoys doing make up. My cousin sister, who was doing the make up for me laughed and said "why shouldn't I? Today is your day, so you have to look your best. But since you say so, I will try to give you a natural look." With that, she continued her work.

After two long hours, they finally let me go. All the ladies in the room gathered around to look at me with strange expressions. "Is it really that bad?", I asked. If they are looking at me this way, it will be best to just wipe out all the makeup. "Oh no no no. You look so....so beautiful and gorgeous. Like a fairy. You never apply much makeup, so I never thought you will look this different, in a good way." My cousin said. I finally relaxed and calmed down. At least I won't start washing my face.
