"No love between two souls is greater than what is between the spouses." - Tafsir ibn Kathir 3/525

The AbdulRahman Villa was bustling with happiness and joy as guests and relatives swarmed in, with elders getting their kids ready and warning them not to spoil their dress by eating something or the other carelessly and the girls running around helping each other with the dupatta or the makeup; eye-liner ; lipstick, asking for the million times "does my makeup looks over-board?" and giving each other compliments as they all sat having friendly chatters in the spaciously decorated living room.

Heena was running from Kinza to Daniyal and to see the guests not to leave them unattended, though fariha mami, and khadija (Kinza's chachi) were a helping hand, Heena didn't want any body to complain.

"What is it?"She asked wiping sweat from her forehead with her embroidered cotton dupatta as she slumped in the couch.

"Tired already?"

"Ah, no.. "She replied with a wave of her hand.

"Please find my new itr(perfume)"AbdulRahman asked as he looked himself in the mirror. He wore a new stitched white jhubba.

"You will be leaving for Ayaan's Nikah?"Heena asked as she took the Jannat ul firdaus itr from the almirah.

AbdulRahman nodded taking it from her extended hands.

"Mom,"Daniyal came and stopped short looking at his father.

"Do you think I should have got white too?"

"Ah, Dani beta, looking so handsome, Masha Allah."Heena said as she placed a kiss in his forehead.

"Your mum is right, why do you want white Sherwani?"His dad asked, as his eyes shone with admiration for Daniyal.

The elegantly crafted royal navy blue ethnic sherwaani embellished with dark black artistic design around the sleeves and collar showcasing his broad shoulders was perfect for the most important occasion of Daniyal's life.

"Allah buri nazar se bachaye (Allah save you from evil eyes)"Heena said and then taking the Surmah(kohl) from the drawer, standing on her tip toe, she applied it on his eyes, which she does every Friday

"Allah buri nazar se bachaye (Allah save you from evil eyes)"Heena said and then taking the Surmah(kohl) from the drawer, standing on her tip toe, she applied it on his eyes, which she does every Friday.

"Now you look more than handsome."Her eyes twinkled as she and AbdulRahman smiled fondly at him.

"Nazar daalne ka irada hai Kya?(thinking to jinx me?)"Daniyal asked rubbing the back of his neck and they both stared at him before bursting into fits of laughter.

"Now, apply some Surmah on my eyes too!"AbdulRahman said whilst Daniyal teased him for being so romantic even on his son's wedding, oh.. rukhsati.

Yeah, right.

"Dad, I want those photos!"Daniyal asked after Heena had applied the surmah and went to washroom to get ready.

"Which photos?"AbdulRahman asked taking new white topi from his closet drawer and putting it on his head.
