Heart buried treasures

Chapter Four:Wedding and Aftermath

Yay!! An update!

Sorry for the late update tho ..
Do enjoy!

Preparation grew in earnest, as for the first time since Hanan came to the world, her house felt lively. Mariam, faaiz's grandmother came to check on them and brought gifts along.

No relatives cos her mother's parents had broken ties with her when she married her dad. And what was the outcome? She thought sadly. But she dint dwell much on that. And her dad's?? She reserved her comment on that. Her father brought some of his friends who were all idle and was just chattering and laughing about silly matters. It wasn't how she had hoped her wedding to be...

She had always dreamt of marrying someone who will be unconditionally in love with her,who will save her from her asshole of a father and protect her from the mess she is in. Knight in shining Armour. She chuckled humorlessly. But life can be cruel at times.

"You are looking gorgeous, Masha Allah" Balqees complimented as she came into the room and saw her daughter and she smiled back at her.

"Who else did I take the beauty after"she teased and they both burst out laughing.

"Can't believe my little girl is now grown up and is also getting married..." Hanan cringed at the word 'married' and 2 days back flashed through her mind.

'Faaiz Hasnayn' and she almost fainted.

"WHAT?????!!!" She screamed and managed to control herself when she saw her mother's troubled and scared expression and the confused state of the woman beside her. And she composed herself.

"Any problem??"she asked and Hanan nodded. She suddenly felt throat patched. She reached out for the glass of water with shaky hands and Mariam gladly gave it to her and helped her sip it down.

"Are you okay now?" she asked again rubbing soothing circles on her back and she nodded and managed to give her a small smile, her body still trembling from the revelation.

"I am" And look of relief passed through her face.

"Alhamdulilah. Your face has lost its color and you are shivering. You okay?!" and she nodded again "I'm fine" Just then, her father came back.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah. Everything is fine" Balqees said and he nodded before settling down.

Faaiz Hasnayn. Hanan thought again. The cold hearted billionaire and she was about to pass out again.

'I pity the girl that will marry that man. What kind of a woman will even agree to marry that cold hearted man?!' she thought dejectedly as she remembered what she said back then and shrank back in her seat. 'Ya Allah! What is my life turning into??'

"Hanan dear, are you okay" Her mom asked worriedly and she gave her a small smile. "Of course i am"

She's gonna try and be happy. Afterall, weddings can't be done twice! The girls doing her make up and hair finished the touch-up and left. Heaven knows where her Dad got them from. She thought shaking her head. But they did an extraordinary job, cos she dint even seem to recognize herself in the mirror. She looked different. Speaking of her dad, she hadn't a clue where he is.

"My baby girl is so pretty" Her hair neatly done in a bun with pins beautifully adorned on it. Her make up was wonderfully done.

"Can't believe you are leaving me soon. But all is well my dear, marriage isn't a bed of rose. You'll have your ups and downs, just stay strong and be patience. Your determination and faith will help you through it. And above all, your belief in your God"
