FEAR OF FONDNESS

Chapter 41 SHE IS HIS

Wassal's POV:

We were all present at the hall, and all of our elders were busing meeting, and welcoming the guests. While I was sitting on stage, busy meeting guests, but my eyes were continuously looking at the entrance. where is she? I was being terribly anxious to see her. She must be looking awfully gorgeous, I thought. 

Suddenly, Tai Ami came towards the stage and announced, " Bahu arahi hai, tyar ho jao zara!"

I felt my heart racing. Taking small steps, I could see her coming from upstairs, wearing a long white dress, she looked extremely, extremely beautiful. However, her face was not clearly visible due to the ghonghat over her head. She was walking under the flowers decorated stand, casting her gaze down and glancing up for a second. Her expressions looked stressed. She always feels anxious around unknown people. But I observed her smile as Aqsa whispered something to her.

As she arrived near the stage, she had a hasty glance at me for a second. The smile on my lips got wide watching her, but she immediately turned away the other second. Elder ladies and her friends helped her get settled on the other bench opposite me, there was a net curtain separating us. Her neck was covered with the choker set I had gifted her. Did she really like it? Her head was still tilted down, gripping her dress, she didn't even look around her. Her friends were setting her dress and asking her if she was okay, but she just nodded in answer. There was not a single second all this time when I was distracted from her. Even in all the stress, a single glance of hers is enough to clench my heart.

"Nikkah shuro karain Molvi Sahab," Baba asked Molvi Sahab as everyone was settled around. 

He nodded, and after the recitation of the Quran, he started, 

"Wassal Ali Kadar wald Ali Sami Ullah Kadar, kia ap ko Shinaya Iftakhar wald Iftakhar Anwar, haq mehr 20 crore aur 50 tolay sona siqa rajul waqt, apnay nikkah mein qabool hai?" 

This was the moment I had been waiting for years. The moment I wanted really wanted after all the mess in my life. I responded in a calm voice. "Qabool hai!"

"Kia ap ko ye nikkah Qabool hai" 

"Qabool hai!" She will be mine

"Kia ap ko ye Nikkah qabool hai?" 

She will be mine! Only mine.

I nodded, "Qabool hai!". and answered for the third and last time with a satisfied smile. Now it was her turn.

Shinaya's POV:

"Shinaya Iftakhar wald Iftakhar Anwar kia ap ko Wassal Ali Kadar wald Ali Sami Ullah Kadar, haq mehr 20 crore aur 50 tolay sona siqa rajul waqt, apnay nikkah mein qabool hai?"

I was feeling really anxious, I could feel my hands getting cold. I looked at Mama, she nodded at me. I never wanted this, never! but now... if it is, so it is!

I gulped, inhaling a deep breath, and nodded, "Qabool hai!" I glancing my gaze down. 

I didn't wanted everyone to see me break down, my throat was getting heavy, and my eyes were getting teary.

"Kia ap ko ye nikkah qabool hai?"

I nodded again, "Qabool hai!" This  has to be...

"Kia ap ye Nikkah Qabool hai?" 

I am entering his life, a man's life I never thought about, a man's life who didn't even thought of me... I slowly raise my head, just to have a glimpse of him. His dark orbs were staring at me,  with a still expression on his face. I quickly looked down and nodded again for the last time, "Qabool hai!"
