ISHQ, EK IBADAT | (Completed)

Episode - 35

As the evening drew to a close, Amreen found herself surrounded by her friends, all of whom had gathered in Elhaan's cozy bedroom. They made Amreen sat comfortably onto the bed, surrounded by the warm glow of candles and the sweet fragrance of fresh flowers. Her new room was a testament to her impeccable taste, with every detail meticulously curated to create a sense of serene elegance.

Shahnaz couldn't help but tease, "Oh my, Bhaijaan (Sister-in-law), Elhaan will surely be driven crazy by the sight of her, without your hijab tonight, isn't it!"

Laiba chimed in, her voice filled with admiration, "Bhabhi (sister-in-law), you look absolutely stunning! Your beauty shines brighter than the candles in this room!"

Ramsha, ever the mischief-maker, added with a grin, "Now that my sister has arrived, the real fun can begin! it's time to tease my dear brother mercilessly!"

Amreen's cheeks flushed with a gentle blush, prompting Laiba to exclaim, "Oh my, look at her blushing! She's as lovely as a rose in bloom!"

Just then, Zeeshan and Elhaan walked in. Zeeshan cleared his throat, "Ladies, please excuse us. We need some privacy."

Ramsha smirked, "We'll leave, but you're the one who needs to exit first, Mr. Zeeshan."

Zeeshan protested, "Wait, dear sister, I have something important to discuss with my new-"

But before he could finish, Laiba and Ramsha grabbed him, pulling him toward the door. "Let's go outside," Ramsha said, as they dragged him away.

Zeeshan struggled, "But it's important! You don't understand!"

Elhaan chuckled and pushed Zeeshan out the door, saying, "No important talk, just leave!"

As the door closed behind them, Amreen's heart began to race. Elhaan, looking nervous, approached her and greeted her with a soft "Assalamualaikum."

Amreen's reply was barely audible, "Walaikum assalam."

Elhaan sat beside her, gently removing her headscarf, revealing her luscious locks. He was captivated by her beauty, his eyes tracing the straight strands that framed her face. "You... You are beyond my dreams," he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. "Your hair, open like this... You look breathtaking, Ma Sha Allah."

Amreen's cheeks flushed as she murmured a shy thank you. Elhaan's fingers wandered through her tresses, marveling at their silkiness.

"Amreen!" he called out, his voice filled with longing.

She looked at him and her gaze met his. "I... I love you, Elhaan," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.

Elhaan's face lit up with a radiant smile as he took a deep breath, savoring the moment. He kissed her hand, his eyes still closed in rapture. "This is the best day of my life," he exclaimed. "I've waited so long for this moment... I felt my heart skip a beat the first time I took you home from the hospital. From that day on, I couldn't help but feel drawn to you, but I didn't realize my true feelings until now."

Amreen's voice was laced with emotion as she replied, "I've waited too, longing for this day. I've felt the same way for a long time, but..."

Elhaan's eyes locked onto hers, completing her sentence, "But you suppressed your feelings because of Zoya?"

Amreen's voice was barely above a whisper, "Yes." She looked into his eyes, her gaze filled with emotion. "But today, now that we're bound together in matrimony, in a sacred and pure relationship, I want to tell you, Elhaan... I love you."

Elhaan's face lit up with a radiant smile as he kissed her forehead. "I love you more, Mrs. Elhaan. Allah has blessed me with a beautiful gift, and my patience has finally paid off."
