Shiddhat

Chapter No 18: Shadi

Compared to other days, the number of guests was much more today. The entire banquet hall was filled with guests and why not, after all it was the wedding of the children of two well-known business men. Many famous businessmen, politicians and many such big personalities from the business industry attended this wedding. The Khan family left no stone unturned in welcoming the guests.

Rayan was sitting on the stage and his friends were sitting around him who were laughing and joking about something or the other. He was looking very good in the designer white sherwani and he was looking like a perfect groom wearing a turban of the same color on which a stone work brooch was attached.

' Rayan ki aankhein shiddhat se apni dulhan ke intezar mein thi,'

Just then his bride made her entry. Rayan missed a beat. He kept staring at her without blinking. Alina dressed as a bride, along with her brothers, was coming some distance towards the stage walking under the shade of a flower sheet. And from there onwards, she came to the stage holding the hands of Waqas and Mahira.

Ryan came down one step from the stage and extended his right hand and Waqas placed Alina's hand in Ryan's hand. Then she climbed the stairs holding Ryan's hand and came on the stage and then they both sat on the sofa. There were a few tears of joy in the eyes of Waqas and Mahira.

The girl who was once unbearable to him, was today sitting beside him as the companion of his life. The one with whom he had to spend his entire life, he had to walk holding her hand on every turn of his life. Ryan cast a glance at Alina sitting beside him, her charming face as a bride appeared to him the most beautiful face in the world. Ryan's eyes smiled and a relaxed smile came on his face.

Kuran ke saye mein rukhsat hokar ab woh Shah house aayi thi. Uske istekbal mein pura Shah villa roshni mein chamak raha tha.

Rayan and Alina's car entered through the main gate and came inside. As soon as the car stopped, Ryan got down from one side and came to the other side. By then Alina had got down while controlling herself. Rayan closed the door of the car. The whole Shah family was standing in front to welcome Alina, which included other relatives as well.

Rabiya was standing with her cousins and some servants, holding a plate of flowers in their hands. Both of them walked on the red carpet amid a shower of roses and came to the door.

"Wait brother, you will have to give us the full fifty thousand to get in", said Rabia, standing at the door and stopping him.

"What?...Fifty thousand...what should I give you money for?"

"This is our right brother, though this amount is less for the three of us, look we are leaving you at a low price, so withdraw the money quickly", there were two more cousins of his along with him.

"Well, he is robbing his own brother. Take this money and get out of the way", saying this he took out money from his pocket and gave it into his hand.

"But this is not the full fifty thousand" he said quickly counting the notes in his hand.

"Yes, who walks around with fifty thousand rupees in his pocket, brother? I will give you the remaining money once I go inside."

"Okay, we are giving you the way but only for my lovely Bhabhi"

" Welcome home my love " Rabiya hugged Aleena lovingly

" Ha ha, shower all your love on your Bhabhi, what will be the need of this brother now "

"Brother, are you feeling jealous?" he asked mischievously.

"Why would I feel jealous?" he shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay, now let's go, for how long have you been making my daughter-in-law stand at the door", Zainab said and everyone came inside.

Everyone was in the lounge when Rayan went to his room and came with some gifts in his hand. He gathered Rabiya and the other cousins and gave them the gifts and also gave them the remaining money. They were happy and thanked him. He had already brought gifts for all three of them.

The wedding was during the day but it took time to finish everything and it was already evening by the time they reached home. After dinner, Rabiya left Aleena in her room.
