Qurbat

-22-

Osman's family stepped out of their cars as the Shahid family greeted them.

Nikkah was took place in an intimate manner with just a few people. In the beautiful maintained lawn of Shahid villa itself. Though decorations, chairs and catering was done to make the event look complete.

The gifts by the groom's family were exchanged as the family meeted and greeted sharing the happy moments.

Osman freely went around greeting everyone, with no restrictions.

While for the bride it was something else.

Isha stood fully dressed in her garara and kameez and her dubatta rested over her head while a part of it was draped over her chest by the makeup artist.

The girl had almost tripped three times by now on her garara. The outfit itself felt like another Isha on Isha.

Her makeup was done pretty minimal and soft, as requested by her mother. But she was still not allowed to make faces or talk to much to cause makeup from creasing. The makeup was done by professionals but, no risks here.

She wore her brand new khussas, just for her Nikkah. And the pain she she felt on behind her ankles almost made her faint.

Just as she was digesting the pain given the devilish but pretty khussas her amma walked inside her room, ofcousrse without knocking.

"Isha, yeh lo. Yeh pehno." Abida handed Isha her set that she had worn on her Nikkah.

"Pr amma, yeh-" Isha's words were cut off by Abida smiling.

"Haan, pata hai. Tumahre liye hi rakha tha." Abida smiled as she took the jewellery set before making Isha wear it.

Just as she finished making her daughter wear the set Isha noticed her mother's glistening eyes.

"Amma, ro rhi ho?" Isha blinked as she tilted her head.

"Mein? Nhi. Khushi hai, tumhse chutkara paane ke din kareeb ajye." Abida laughed at her words making the every one chuckle in the room.

"Haan, waise kehna parega, aaj tou Isha aafat lgrhi hai!" Hania smiled as she hugged her.

"Haan!" Everyone agreed as the women of the Shahid villa hugged the bride.

The moment was intruppted by a knock on the door.

"Aare bhae asakta hun?" Everyone immediately retreated, opening the door for dadu hearing his voice.

Dadu walked in her room, his eyes immediately glistening at the sight of his Isha standing as a bride.

He immediately took Isha in a hug patting her head lovingly.

"Mashallah. Nazr na lage meri beti ko." Shahid sahab took out a 1000₨ note , before rotating its over her head.

"Abida beti, meri bachi ki sadka dedena." Abida smiled taking the note, making it a mental note to hand it to someone needy.

"Aur haan! Yeh, tumhari dadi ke karrey." He handed them out to her. Just as Isha reached out to accept them he backed his hand.

"Sirf aaj ke liye. Wrna unh baaliyon ki trha yeh bhi khodogi ." He said making Isha smile widely.

"Khoye nhi hain. Ammanat di hai." Isha pointed out.

"Aur us amaanat k badle mein kya mila?" Dadu asked playing along.

"Mil gaye ga. Zaroor milega." Isha smiled widely.

"Uffo! Yeh dramebaaz dadu aur Isha!" Asiya face palmed herself at the duo as everyone laughed.
