Hey loviesss!
Finally it's mehandi!
Enjoyy!!

The next day, mehendi ceremony started with laughter and excitement.

Noor was dressed in a beautiful suit.

Her beautiful hairs were left open that day.

All the ladies helped her with the dress.

She looked beautiful, her dress, her hairs, everything was perfect only thing that was missing, was her real smile.

She walked downstairs and greeted all the guests.

The mehendi artist arrived, her skilled hands moving deftly.

Noor's palms were stained with intricate designs.

Henna's dark brown color symbolized.

Love, commitment, and eternity.

Arsal's name was hidden within the patterns.

Noor's heart ached, trapped in a life not hers.

Relatives cheered, "Mubarak ho, Noor!" (Congratulations, Noor!)

Anne hugged her tight, tears in her eyes.

"Noor tum bhot khush rhogi."
(Noor you will stay happy.)

Noor smiled.

After Noors mehendi, other relatives also applied mehndi on their hands.

Noor was taught about the changes, she would face after marriage.

New responsibilities.

New expectations.

A new life.

Noor listened intently.

Her heart heavy with emotions.

Noor saw her small palms stained with Henna.

Symbolising love and commitment.

One of her aunt said, "ab, tumhari mehendi mai Arsal ka naam likha hai, tum uski ho."
(Now, Arsal's name is written in your hands, now you are his responsibility.)

Noor's heart sank.

Trapped forever.

A life Bound to Arsal.

Her happiness seemed distant.

Ayesha and her family was also present there in the function.

Ayesha helped making Noor calm.

"ayesha, sirf 2 din bache hai, uske baad sab khatam." said Noor.
(Ayesha, only 2 days left, after that every thing is over.)

Ayesha replied, "Noor zada Matt socho, nikah karlo."
(Noor, stop overthinking, just marry him.)

"Arsal acha ladka hai."
(Arsal is a nice boy.)

Noor, "han vo hai, par mai unse pyaar nahi karti."
(Yes he is, but I don't love him.)

Ayesha, "zada Matt socho."
(Stop overthinking.)

Relatives entered Noor's room.

Gave her blessings and few went back to there houses, but some stayed.

Ayesha went along with her parents to her house.

After the function, Noor slept hugging her mother's photo.
