The pale hues of pink & orange were crisscrossing the sky brightening the yellow halo in the center.The beautiful sunset marked the beginning of Doom for me.

Few Hours Ago

After Aarej left, Fatima entered with my Wedding dress, Jewelry & all accessories.I just sat there looking at my alternate reality, everything seem so far like being under water.Fatima then brought a young girl,who was my beautician.She perfomed various massages & treatments on me but I stayed in my numb state.She applied Henna in my hands painting delicate graffiti. When she was done, fatima prepared a bath for me I went through all the motions without experiencing anything, after my bath I was changed in my wedding dress.The girl again worked me over with her experienced hands.The sheer numbness had cataloged my very being & I sat there like a rag doll, who was doddled & pinged artistically to heart's content.The time flew by & after two hours I was declared ready & thankfully left alone.

Present

I looked across the beautiful ocean the majestic sun was sinking into the clear blue sea, giving itself to the wonders of water.The view was mesmerizing, different hues seem to be spashed across the water in colourful streaks.The captivating sight enthralled me, I was interrupted by Fatima who informed me that Sheikh sahib(Muslim scholar) will be here in 5 mins.I just gawked at her & inconsequently moved towards the full wall mirror.I observed myself critically in blood-red lagha the long shirt was adnored by golden pearls & gold handiwork done exquisitely whereas, the lagha was done in dark pink & blood-red colors also decorated by gold threads & pearls.My face glowed highlighting my high cheekbones & blood red lips.My hazel brown eyes looked luminous lined by kohl & my hair were artistically arranged in a beautiful coffieur, which was covered by blood red dupatta, dark green embroidery bordered the dupatta with golden pearls.All jewelry was of gold, embedded with different other materials.Ironically, I looked more beautiful then I have ever been but it doesn't matter in this diasterous situation.

The door opened with a resounding thud I turned & froze.Aarej stood their paralyzed, openly gaping at me.His eyes traveled from my feet to my head, he devoured me through his eyes, I noticed dispassionately he wore a black Shalwar kameez(traditional dress) his unkept hair hid his forehead giving him a boyish look, brown shawl lay on his broad shoulders & his dress filled his powerful physique & he looked as dangerous & intimidating as in his usual jeans T-shirt as abruptly, as he came he left.I sat in the chair resigned & withheld nothing matters to me, absolutely nothing.
