"This one or This one." I asked Amina which earring should I wear for Aman's wedding.
"This one, it will suit you more." She replied. As I wear the Diamond golden earring.
"Girls come on, we are getting late." Ammi shouted from outside. "Coming Ammi." We were in my bedroom getting ready.
We all are going to Pune, as the wedding destination is there. it will take nearly 3 hours for us to reach there and of course we were late.
I wear my Heels quickly and look at Amina who was adjusing her dupatta. "Ready?" I asked and she nodded her head.
We went downstairs. Everyone was putting the gifts in the car for the bride, and there my Ammi was getting stress for no reason. I walk towards her and call her out.
"Ammi, you go set in the car. They will handle everything." I said.
"No, you go with Amina and sit in the car, I'll be there in some minutes." She replied and went to towards the cars to check everything.
Well she never listen to anyone. Typical Indian mother.
Me and Amina sat in the car as Ammi told us to.
I was so excited. Finally they are going to get married after almost 5 years. But I know someone was more excited than me.
Here it is.. Falak Appi's phone call again. This is the 7th time she is calling me.
"Zahra, aur Kitni Der Lagegi?"
("Zahra, how much time it will take?")She said almost yelling at me and I laughed.
"Abhi Jitna hansna Hai hans lo. bhabhi to main hi tumhari banne wali hun, fir tumhari chai mein mirch mila dungi tab pata chalega."
("Laugh as much as you want right now. only I'm gonna be your sister-in-law, I will add chilli in your tea then you will know.")"Oh soon to be sister-in-law, clam yourself down." I said while trying to control my laugh.
I love teasing her, Poor bride.
I totally understand why she was being so impatient.
They fell in love with each other in their college time and tell their feelings to our family.
We all agreed for their married. But as Aman was just 20 at that time and didn't have job so he decide not to get married that time.
He decide to get job first so that he is capable of making his wife happy from all ways. Now as he is settled in his life, they finally decide to get married.
They haven't even touch each other yet as they always want everything to be in halal way. The wedding is also simple in Islamic way as it should be. That's how Islam is, isn't it?
Beautiful and pure.
"I can't wait anymore, I am all ready wearing my lehenga here." She said. And i replied "we are leaving from Mumbai soon, It will nearly take 3 hours for us to reach pune."
"Ya Allah, come soon okay." She said. "Yes, you just wait a bit." I replied.

"Zahra, pata nahin kyon dil joro se dhak-dhak kar raha hai."
("Zahra, I don't know why my heart is beating so fast.")Aman said while he was holding my hand tightly. I understand, he was really nervous but he is holding my hand way too tightly, feel like my hand is gonna broke apart.
"You first leave my hand bhai." I said as I quickly remove my hand from his. He looked at me and I saw he was literally sweating so hard.
I just suspend my smile looking at him. He haven't seen Falak Appi yet in her shadi ka jora ( wedding dress )
And He was so nervous already.
