She was a Muslim......They were non-believers.....but they say that love is the greatest force that changes people's life....
Who will win her heart.....will friends turn into foe.....or destiny has some other plans.....
Love never had boundaries...
It was time to offer Duhr prayer, so I went in the washroom to perform abolution.
Khadija appi* entered in the room. "Irum what are u doing?", she asked. "Nothing appi just going to perform abolution, why is there something u want to say?", I asked "Yes, after praying come downstairs. U know this is a house of functions. Help me in the preparations.", she said and I sighed. I don't know why I just don't like this extravagancy. It's not that I belong from an insanely rich family but alhamdulliah we have everything that Allah has blessed us with but the thing is we live in a society that demands showoff and unfortunately my family is also it's prey. "Okie appi I will come down, but u should also first offer prayer.", I said. "Yeah, yeah!", she said and left. "Ya Allah plz give hidayat to my family so that they can turn towards you.", I said in my heart and went to perform abolution.
I came out and wore my namaz* chaadar. I stood on the prayer mat and said, "Allah hu Akbar" After performing my prayer I raised my hands for Dua*. "Ya Allah, ya Rab. The most merciful, the forgiver, the all-seer and all-knower, plz forgive me my Lord. I am a sinner. I am no good, all I seek is ur protection and blessing. Save me from all the bad thoughts and desires that build up in me. Keep me protected from Shaitaan-Iblees*. He is here to astray me but my Lord ur guidence is superior. Help me and my family always stay on the true path. We all are sinners. Ya Allah, bless us with the blessings of this world and hereafter...", I was praying when I heard voice from downstairs of Haleema appi calling me downstairs.
I quickly finished my prayer and wrapped a hijab on my head as there are men workers down and it's not permissible for a woman to show her hair to na-mehram*.
"Yes Ammi*, yes appi!", I said and Haleema appi handed me the basket of flowers and henna cones. "Take these to Khadija appi.", and I took it to her in her room. "Appi, Haleema appi sent these.", I said and she nodded and signalled me to put it on bed. The hair stylist was styling her hair and Mashallah my sister looked the most beautiful woman I ever saw. A smile formed on my face. I went and stood behind her. "Mashallah appi u look gorgeous.", she smiled and said, "I want that I should look so beautiful that Amir couldn't take off his eyes from me.", she said and smiled but my smile faded. "What happened?", she asked. "No no nothing!", I said and regained my smile. I don't wanna ruin her mood by saying that he is still her finacee and they aren't yet in the relation of husband and wife.
Then I went to Ammi and helped her in work as in the evening it's the function of Mehndi.
I got ready in my room and applied really minimal makeup. This is how I looked.

I went downstairs as everything was arranged in the lawn. "Iru, my adorable daughter. Mashallah may Allah protect u from all evil eyes.", abbu* said and I smiled. "Abbu u r also looking really handsome.", I said and my father laughed then kissed my head saying, "The light of my eyes. Come on ur mother and sisters are waiting. And guests are also about to arrive.", he said and we both headed outside.
