My Sultaan

8.Nikha

Hasnain khan pov:-

In the morning, I had breakfast with my family. As I was about to move to my room, I heard my father's voice saying, 'Beta, come to my room.

We have to discuss something with you.' I turned back and went to my father's room to meet him. My mother was sitting on the bed, and I was standing there.

They offered me to sit on the chair, and as I sat down, I was about to say something when my father interrupted, saying, "Today is your Nikah, and you will be married to Noor-ul-aan. We want to tell you that Noor-ul-aan is a very introverted girl. Give her time to adjust with you, make her comfortable, always keep her happy, and never disrespect her in front of others. Be the reason for her happy life."

I went near my father and mother, hugged them, and said, "I promise she will never be sad, and you both know I am a person of both words and actions."

My father said, 'After Zuhr prayer, your Nikah will take place, so be ready. And after Isha prayer, your Rukhsat will take place. Be ready, my boy - oh, sorry, our soon-to-be Sultan,' patting on my shoulder.

After Zohar prayer, we got ready and went to the house of Saleem Khan. We got settled, and the Quazi Sabah came.

The pardha was in between Hasnain on one side and Noor-ul-aan on the other side. After some time, the Quazi Sabah asked Hasnain, 'Do you accept this Nikkah with Noor-ul-aan as your wife and daughter of Saleem Khan?' Without any delay, he said, "QUBOOL HAI, QUBOOL HAI, QUBOOL HAI."

The Quazi Sabah asked to Noor-ul-aan, " Do you accept your husband as Hasnain khan son of Haji khan" who was holding her mother's hand tightly.

Her father said, 'What happened Anna, relax yourself, my baccha.' She relaxed herself and tears filled her eyes as she said, 'Q...Q..QUBOOL H..H...HAI, QUBOOL HAI, QUBOOL HAI.'

The Quazi Sabah said "Congratulations to everyone from now on they are husband and wife."

Aaina mother hugged her from the side and stepped back from the hug upon seeing Hasnain come in front of Noor-ul-aan.

He held her hand, made her stand in front of him, and whispered in her ear, "MUBARAK BEGUM, WELCOME TO MY LIFE."  "Can I kiss you on the forehead?"

She nodded and he kissed on her forehead and caused a shiver to run through her body. They both sat down.

They both sat together, and everyone was talking about their photos. After some time, they all went to get ready for Rukhsat, which was happening tonight.

At night, everyone was present. Hasnain Khan was waiting for his wife.

After a few seconds, she came into the hall holding her father's hand.

Looking down, she wore a red-coloured lehenga with golden work, a handful of bangles, a veil, and Hasnain Khan passed his hand to Noor-ul-aan and made her sit beside him, leaning down near her ear and said, "I can hear your heartbeat.Please slow down, begum."

With a slight smile, she tried to relax herself but failed.

He ordered to bring a glass of water and gave it to her. She couldn't even see his face and drank the glass in one breath.

They all took pictures, had dinner, and went to the gate where the car was waiting for them.

Saleem Khan took aana's hand and gave it to Hasnain Khan and said, "NEVER LEAVE MY DAUGHTER'S HAND, ALWAYS BE IN HER HEART AND SUPPORTER."

Then, he holds her hand and says with his bold voice, "NOW SHE IS MY WIFE, AND IF I HOLD HER HAND ONCE, I WILL NEVER LEAVE TILL WE ARE IN Jannah."

He takes her near the car, opens the door for her, gives her a way to sit in the car, and sits beside her. They left for his home.

Noor-ul-aan's POV:

I sit in the car;
my husband has been holding my hand since my father gave him my hand.

I was very nervous, and couldn't speak a word to him. It was the second time in my life that I was scared of a person; that person was my husband.

I don't know why I am scared of this man; I always hear that he is in an angry mood and might hurt someone.

I was crying sitting beside him, suddenly I heard a voice coming out of my thoughts, "Don't cry, Begum. I am here with you."

It was my husband. He was wiping my tears; it felt so embarrassing to me.I tried to hold my composure, but I couldn't, so he stopped the car and my heart rate rose up.

I was just staring at him. Meanwhile, he asked me, "Which flavor of ice cream do you want?".

In the middle of the way, he stopped the car and asked me this question.

At first, I hesitated to answer, but then he asked again, 'Chocolate or strawberry?' He raised one eyebrow with a serious face.

'C...ch..chocolate,' I stuttered.

He told the driver to buy the ice cream, passed it to me, removed the cover, and gave it to me.

Firstly I hesitated to eat the ice cream but then he also took the We ate ice cream and again Hasina told me "don't cry now begum if you want ice cream you should have say me." To which I hold my clothes tight and said "No I don't want Ice cream."

Hasnain said looking at her eyes "Is it so begum you don't like ice cream?" To teased her. To which I look down to avoid eye contact and says "I don't mean that" He cut her and say "you are saying that it was bad Idea to eat ice cream right."

I don't have words to say and again I was about to cry and hear the voice of Hasnain "I was just kidding and don't cry now just eat your icecream ok" to which she nodded and then went to his house.
