Nouf burst into Nadiya's room, a bright smile on her face. "Nadiya, guess what?"

Nadiya, resplendent in her wedding finery, turned from the mirror. "What is it, Nouf?"

"Mom just received the news from the mosque," Nouf announced, barely containing her excitement. "You and Irfan are officially married!"

Nadiya's eyes widened, and she let out a squeal of delight. "Really?"

Nouf nodded vigorously. "Yes! The Imam confirmed it. You're now husband and wife!"

Tears of happiness streaming down her face, Nadiya flung her arms around Nouf. "Oh, Nouf! I'm so happy!"

Nouf hugged her tightly back. "I know, sis! We're all so thrilled for you and Irfan."

Miss Aisha entered the room, beaming. "Mabrook, dear! Congratulations!"

Nadiya's tears turned to joyful sobs. "Mom...thank you...this is the best day ever!"

Miss Aisha smiled warmly. "You deserve all the happiness, dear. Irfan is a wonderful man."

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted them. It was Noor, Irfan's sister.

"Nadiya, Irfan wants to see you," Noor said, her eyes shining with excitement.

Nadiya's heart skipped a beat. "Tell him I'm coming."

As Noor left, Nadiya took a deep breath, her eyes locked on Nouf's.

"It's time to start my new life," Nadiya said, her voice trembling.

Nouf smiled. "You're ready, sis. Go make memories with your husband."

Nadiya's eyes locked onto Irfan as he stood tall, his presence commanding the room. His chiseled features and piercing gaze left her breathless.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Irfan Muhammad Arab," he whispered, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine.

Nadiya's cheeks flushed, her pulse racing. "Thank you, Mr. Arab," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Irfan's eyes sparkled with amusement. "You're officially mine now," he teased, his lips curving into a smile.

Nadiya's heart skipped a beat. "Forever yours," she breathed.

Irfan's arms enveloped her, pulling her close. "Promise me you'll always love me," he whispered.

"Forever and always," Nadiya replied.

Their lips met in a tender, sweet kiss.

"I love you," Irfan whispered.

"I love you too," Nadiya replied.

As they embraced, their love filled the room.

Noor and Nouf burst into the room, giggling mischievously.

"Ah-ha! Caught you two!" Noor exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Nouf grinned. "Romancing already? You're moving too fast, Irfan."

Irfan chuckled, releasing Nadiya from their embrace. "Can't help it. She's my wife."

Nadiya blushed, playfully rolling her eyes. "You two are annoying."

Noor teased, "We're just keeping you two lovebirds in check."

Nouf added, "Don't get too comfortable. We're watching."

Irfan smiled. "Bring it on. We're ready."

Nadiya laughed. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Irfan whispered, "With you by my side, I'm enjoying everything."
