Ashika's eyes opened at azan . She saw Ariha was also awake .

Ashika ," Let's go and do our ablution, then we will wake them up."  Saying this She got up from the bed.

Ariha also nodded and went from their.  They both prepared their prayer mat and started their salah .

At the end of the salah, Ashika made her dua ," Ya Rab, keep my family and friends safe .
Forgive their sins as well as mine . Knowing not knowing we have done so many sins . Forgave us . Ya Allah, I am not a good servant off yours, but I don't have anyone beside you who can help me guide me .
Please make my imman stronger . Give me patience and strength and the power to determine right and wrong . Ya Allah, you are the most merciful. Your sinful servant is asking for your guidance. Please help me. " A sob left her mouth . Tears started to flow from her eyes, drenching her cheeks . She completed her dua and got up .

Both Ariha and Ashika's salah were complete when they got up they saw Tofa , Nuha, and Tasha still sleeping.  They looked at each other and face slammed. 

Ashika, holding a corner off the blanket, pulled it off , " yo lazy ladies, wake up its prayer time." They woke up after Ashika and Ariha's constant disturbing. 

Today was the day . Finally the wedding day has come . Everyone was very excited about this .

Tashas house was crawling with relatives.  It was getting more noisy by passing time .
Like haldi, the wedding will also be an outdoor wedding.  It was time to take Tasha to the parlour . Ashika , Tofa , Nuha, and Ariha will accompany her as well as get themselves ready .

In the house of Aziz. 
Ahan was in his room working on his laptop . He heard a knock on the door, and Mrs. Aziz appeared.
She said with anger , " It's your brothers wedding.  You are here to enjoy not work. "
Ahan , " I know that's why I am trying to complete my work."
Mrs.Aziz " No more work get up now "
Ahan , " just a little more, ma . It's almost done. "
She was about to leave but suddenly she stopped in her tracks .
Mrs.Aziz asked Ahan, " All the people from Tasha's family are good . What do you think? "
Ahan, with an unbothered tone, said , " Whatever you say, ma'"
Mrs. Aziz, " And her friend Ashika, she is so sweet.  Don't you think.  Such a good-natured girl. "
Ahan said, working on his laptop, " I doubt that."
Mrs.Aziz, " What do you mean.  She is such a nice girl. "
Ahan lifted his face, closing his laptop, " It's not my business if she is good or not."
Mrs.Aziz made a done face and got out of the room . She said to her mind , " This boy is unbelievable."

Ashika, Tasha, Nuha, and Tofa were at the parlour when Ashika got a call from her mother.

Ashika , " Assalamu alaikum Ammu, how are you ?"

From the other side of the call, her mother replied, " Alhamdulillah, I am fine . I called to inform you that we are getting ready and will reach the venue on time. Don't worry.  And talk to your sister. "
Ira , " Api , I miss you,"
Ashika's face had a soft expression now she said , " I am also missing you ?"
Ira , " No, you are lying,"
Ashika, with a worried tone trying to reason with Ira , said, " I really missed you, sona . Don't worry, we will meet after some time.  You can see me there. "
Ira , " Alright, apni byee," then she disconnected the call

At the venue, Tasha and Ahir were kept in separate seats with a flower partition between them . Ashika Tofa nuha and her mother were with her, and on the other side, Ahir was with Ahan, their mother and father.

Finally, it was time for the nikkah . The moulvi came to Tasha first and asked her consent . In a slow but firm voice, she replied three times.

"Kobul"

"Kobul"

"Kobul"

As she was saying, this tears started to stream from her eyes. She was holding her mothers hand . A little behind them, Tasha's father and brother were standing. Her father also started to cry eyes red with tears, her brother holding his shoulder to comfort him.
Tasha was hugged by all of her friends.
