FEAR OF FONDNESS

Chapter 39 BARI AND THE SPECIAL GIFT

Wassal's POV:

The first time I saw this set was about two years ago. I took Sania Api to shopping when I saw this set in that shop. Jewels were never a sort of attraction for me, but at that time I was thinking of her and when I saw that set I couldn't think of anything else but her. 

The set had intricate goldwork. It had a small and delicate pattern, just made for her delicate, beautiful neck. I bought it later with complete accessories. I kept it in the locker with the believe that one day I'd gift her this and she would wear it for me. And that day was coming.

I took out that set from my locker and handed it to Sania Api, she was going with Bari to her house.

"OH_MY_GOD!" She emphasized every word.

"Is this your choice?" She asked with widened eyes and amazement.

I nodded with a smile, "Yeah!" I replied.

"Wassal I can't believe it! you chose it yourself!" She inquired again for the third time with disbelief. 

"Yes, yes I bought it myself, why don't you believe me?" I asked in confusion.

"Because its really difficult to believe, you know you were never really into this type of stuff and you chose this for shinaya," She said with disbelieve, closing the set.

"I don't know, she would like it? " I asked in confusion, Nothing can make Wassal Ali Kadar confuse in this world, expect Shinaya Iftakhar I thought.

"Sure she will!" She said placing an assuring hand on my shoulder. I don't know, I was still confused, will she like or not?

Shinaya's POV:

In afternoon, Sania Api, Wassal's mother, Tai ami and grandmother came with stacks of gifts, we offered them a warm welcome. Mom arranged a number of outclass dishes for them. They did enjoyed it though but Wassal's grandmother questioned about the dishes that are they made by me. Sania Api, sensing the intensity, covered me up by saying, "She bakes really well, the cake must be baked by her!" And served her the cake baked by me, which she liked a lot. 

Ya Allah izat rakh li tu nay! I thanked Allah internally.

I went for wedding shopping with Sania Api, while Wassal's grandmother, Tai ami and mother spent timewith mama at home.  We visited top designers. All the dresses for wedding events were to be arranged by them, they assured us that don't want a single thing in jahezand. Sania Api asked my choice for everything, I asked her to buy whatever she liked but she insisted. I wasn't interested in anything. My mind was still not accepting the fact I was getting married, and to Wassal!, I always felt numb thinking of these realities.

After shopping, on our way back home, "Shinaya, you_seem off, is everything alright?" Sania Api asked me. I knew my expression were looking really dull but I couldn't help with it.

"No, I am just tired, I guess," I told her with a forced smile.

She held my hand and pressed it gently, "I know, it's difficult for you to believe" She took a pause, "Wassal is really nice, like really nice, he will always love you, he will always protect you!" All the things she told me were like heading over my head. These things didn't mattered to me, I didn't care about what was bought, how much expensive it was...

After getting home, We served tea to them and when they were about to leave, mom gave them beautiful jewelery set and gifts as per traditions. 

When Wassal's Tai ami, mother and grandmother left, she handed me a jewelry box, "This a special one!" She uttered with an excitement.
