The marriage!

Chapter 18

Jassmin POV 

"Jassmin wake up!! You can't get up early on your wedding day?" Fatimah said.

"It's 10 oclock and you have tons to do so please get up!" she shouted.

I woke up. My eyes are tired and heavy. Guess it was all due to the crying i had last night. From now on i am going to be a good daughter-in-law.

"Finally you are awake ! Now hurry, Go and shower!" Fatimah pushed me into the bathroom.

"But what's so hurry ?" i felt very annoyed.

"Come on you are the bride ! You have to shower, then dry your hair. Then the hairdresser and the makeup lady will come. Then you have to get dressed up. So much left to do , so HURRY UP NOW ! I am giving you 15 minutes to bath."

"There is still 4 hours left. I didn't sleep properly last night. I am hungry i want to eat breakfast." i told her. I just wasn't in mood.

"Okay fine go and brush your teeth and i will bring your breakfast." The house was so noisy. I could feel everyone's excitement but was i happy about this?  I brushed my teeth and washed my face. Fatima bought in some pancakes and a glass of milk to my room.

After i had my breakfast, i went to shower. Then i told fatimah to help to dry my hair.

"OMG! Jassmin i couldn't believe you are getting married before me. I am so happy for you!!" she squealed.

"Fatimah, How many times are you going to say that?" she has been saying this for like 100th time since yesterday.

"You will look amazing today Jassmin. Especially with the hair and make up on." she told me.

I just nod and thanked her.

After combing my hair, we waited for the hairdresser to arrive.

"Jassmin! The hairdresser is here." My mum shouted.  The hairdresser and fatimah entered my room. I asked the hairdresser to let me pray zhur and she waited patiently. When i was done, i sat in front of the mirror and all the ladies sat around me.

"Do you want any extensions?" she asked.

"Nope thanks, it is not allowed in Islam."

"Well you don't really need it so i guess it will be okay." i felt quite proud about my thick black hair.

My cousins played Maher Zain nasheeds form  the ipad they were having. To be honest, i love his songs.  And it makes me feel better.  The hairdresser did my hair and when i looked into the mirror i looked beautiful.

"Wow so pretty, Fantastic and So cute." Everyone spoke.

There was a knocked on the door and i saw the make up artist has arrived.  And she came over and start doing her job. She applied some liquid foundation, then mascara, eye shadow, upper and lower eyeliner and lipstick. While the lady was applying make up on me the other ladies went to get ready for the wedding.

Fatimah entered the room wearing blue lengah with gold scarf. "Wow Jassmin you looking so beautiful!" she said. "Now you only have half an hour to get into your wedding dress."

After 15 mins they were trying to fix the scarf. I looked at my dress and i felt sad because this was the dress that yusuf agreed on for our wedding day. It was light pink dress with embroidery. And then they put the jewellery.

"You look stunning Mashallah!" Fatimah complemented.

We all talked more like they all were talking until we heard a knock on the door. Then came in my mum and my auntie. They greeted me and my mum's eye teared. She hugged me and showered me with blessings. Then they left.

Next came in my dad, he raised his eyebrows showing that he was surprised.

"Mashallah, my daughter is grown up and is looking beautiful." He gave me a hug and whispered thanks. And then he left. I was fighting back my tears.

Then my dad came back in after 15 minutes. He asked for my permission for the Nikah. I agreed and nod. They hand me the pen to sign the nikah papers and i did. I handed the papers back to my dad.

"JASSMIN !!! YOU ARE OFFICIALLY MARRIED!!!" Fatimah came in shouting. "Ashif just texted me!!" They were all awkwardly hugging me.

"Jassmin fixed yourself in a little. Amin's coming to see you." my mum said.I nodded and went back to my room. My friend was with me in the room.

After a few minutes i heard footsteps approaching my room.

"Jassmin, Amin is here. Are you ready?" Ashif asked. I nodded my head and my friend went out from the room.

Then Amin entered the room and i heard the door being locked. He stared at the ground and then me. I felt tears forming up.

He walked towards me and sat on the bed.  After a while he hold my hands and said,

"Jassmin i know this is too much to take in. I am sorry. But i promise you that i will take care of you for rest of my life" he said.

That's the moment, i looked up and saw him for the first time as my husband. He was wearing a suit. He was a fair man with brown eyes and his hair looks softer than his beard. Am i falling for him already?

 So what do you guys think? Is jassmin falling for Amin already? I'll update the next chapter soon in sha allah. Thank you so much for reading , voting and encouraging comments.
