So finally the big day came for which Ayat and her gang of buddies were waiting for 25th october i.e; "Fiza's wedding".
"What I should wear today ammi? I am so confused and I am unable to figure out" Ayat sighed.
"You have a huge collection of party wear, choose from that. There is nothing to worry about" Ammi stated.
"Please ammi you help me out in this regard. Otherwise my time will be wasted in figuring out what to wear" Ayat said while taking her ammi upstairs.
"What will do after marriage? every time you need my help in every simple thing" Ammi said in a worried tone.
"I am not going to marry, I said this even earlier. So, no discussions on this ammi please" Ayat replied in a rasping tone.
Ammi gave her a death glare.
"Now please don't start that thing all over again, please ammi" Ayat begged.
After a moment's silence, Ayat claimed "Ok, we will discuss this matter later. Now happy?"
"Open your wardrobe" ammi ordered.
"I think you should wear that gown that you have wore in Aaliyah Aapi's Nikah" Ammi stated while searching it in the wardrobe.
"Ohhhh! That one, I totally forgot about it" Ayat uttered.
"The only thing u remember now a days is your college work" Ammi taunted.
"This is the final year ammi that's why I am putting in lots of efforts" Ayat proclaimed.
"Ok, Ok, come down we will have lunch" Ammi conferred.
"Just give me few minutes, I will offer Zuhar salah and come" Ayat uttered.
Ayat performed ablution and offered her salah.
She then got a call from nuzhath.
"Assalaamu Alaikum" sweet voice of nuzhath welcomed me.
"Walaikum assalaam" Ayat replied.
" What you are wearing today? Actually I am confused what to wear" Nuzhath mumbled.
"I am wearing a gown. We all will wear gown today. Isn't it a good idea" Ayat queried.
"Ya, that would be amazing" Nuzhath claimed.
"So, you inform this gown thing in the group. I am going for lunch now" Ayat said.
"Ok I will inform. Will meet soon. Allah hafiz" Nuzhath stated.
"Insha Allah, Allah hafiz" Ayat replied.
She then went downstairs and had her lunch.
After that she went to buy a gift for Fiza after draping her hijab and wearing abayah over her clothes.
She was confused whether to buy a single gift or a couple gift.
She then drove to the gift shop which was a bit far away from her home.
"Do you guys have any gifts for couples" Ayat questioned.
"Yes, mam. We have a huge collection of couple gifts in our shop. What kind of gift you want mam" the shop owner interrogated.
"Well, I want something for my friends wedding" Ayat claimed.
"Mam these are the wedding gifts" he said while pointing at the gifts.
Ayat then bought a pair of aluminium rings with the names of bride and groom engraved in it.
On the way to her home, she bought a bouquet full of red roses and headed towards her home.

"Ammmmii! Finally I decided and bought the gifts" Ayat shouted in excitement.
She then showed her the gifts.
"Quite impressed by your gift selection" Ammi chuckled.
Ayat smiled.
"Now offer Maghrib salah and start getting ready otherwise you will be late as you was in Bella's wedding" Ammi stated.
Ayat then went and offered Maghrib salah and started getting ready.
Her outfit was a flowy fish tail peach colour gown with pastel aqua flowers on it and gold metallic lace over the neck and shoulder.
She tied her hair into a bun and started doing the makeup. After she was done with the makeup, she draped her peach colour hijab with golden sequins stutted into it. She then slipped her favourite ring into her finger, took her clutch and gift and went downstairs.

"Ammii, I am leaving. If I will get late, I will inform you. You don't worry" Ayat claimed.
"Convey my best wishes to Fiza" Ammi responded.
"Allah hafiz ammi" Ayat bidded goodbye and headed towards the banquet hall.
She reached the banquet hall in just a few minutes as it was nearby.
She then dialled Bella's number, "Do you guys arrived" she quizzed.
"Yess, yess. We are with Fiza. Come soon" Bella replied and cancelled the call.
Ayat went inside the hall after parking her car.
She met with her friends and congratulated Fiza.
"Masha Allah! Ayat you are looking so pretty" nuzhath exclaimed.
"Jazakallah, you guys are also looking amazing"
Ayat claimed.
"Look at the bride, she is looking stunningly beautiful" Ayat praised Fiza.
"And I am very much sure that Fawad bhaijaan gonna be awestruck after seeing his beautiful wife" Aminah teased.
Fiza blushed.
"Awwwwww! You are looking even more pretty while blushing" Ayat smiled.
Ayat went to have water, when she was drinking a familiar voice greeted her from behind. When she looked back, It was him.
"You" Ayat uttered shockingly and angrily went away.
"Did you invited Hamdan, Fiza" Ayat queried.
"He is Fawad's maternal cousin" Fiza stated.

Ayat always tried to not come across Hamdan after their school.
After sometime Bella, Ayat, Aminah and Nuzhath went for dinner with the beautiful bride Fiza.
After they completed dinner, now it was the time for photoshoot.
Everyone was busy posing for the photographs and Ayat was feeling uncomfortable as Hamdan was constantly staring at her. Wherever she go, his eyes were on her all the time. It was looking as if he came just to see Ayat.

"Masha Allah, Fiza and Fawad bhaijaan are looking perfectly made for each other" Aminah Exclaimed to which Ayat smiled and agreed.
Ayat took a photograph of the happy couple.
All friends clicked pictures with the bride and groom.

Ayat thought of giving the present to Fiza but when she searched for the present, she realised that she forgot the present in the car itself.
She then informed Bella that she will be coming in few minutes after taking the present from the car.

When she went in the parking area for taking the present. Someone held her hand from behind and pulled her closer.
"Are you mad or what" she yelled while pushing back Hamdan. Yes it was hamdan again.
"Just listen to me once Ayat, why you always avoid me" Hamdan pleaded.
"I don't wanna listen anything, just leave" Ayat sighed.
"Just once please" Hamdan pleaded again.
"Can't you just let me live in peace. Why you always do this and make my day worst" Ayat mumbled.
"Why don't you understand Ayat, I love you so much. Please try to understand" Hamdan whined.
"Please don't start this love drama again" Ayat said in a rasping tone.
"Why always you take me wrong Ayat? I have never loved anyone like I did to you and you still take me for granted" Hamdan sobbed.
"Please stop this thing now, I already said you that I don't believe in love and relationships" Ayat claimed.
"So you will not marry?" Hamdan queried.
"You don't worry about anything ok, It's my life and I know what I should do or not. I will not take anyones suggestions" Ayat sighed.
"How can I not worry about you Ayat, you are my everything" Hamdan stated.
"I said stop this please" Ayat shouted.
"I don't want to create any drama here please. It's my best friend's wedding so please don't spoil my enjoyment" Ayat whined.
"You please don't cry Ayat, I didn't meant to hurt you. I just want to be with you" Hamdan uttered.
"Why don't you understand" Ayat yelled.
Ayat took the present from the car.
"And please don't call me from next time like you did yesterday, did you get that?" Ayat said angrily and went away.

It was the time for ruqsati and Fiza bidded goodbye and hugged her friends.

Fiza's wedding ended on a good note.

Assalaamu Alaikum Everyone. How are you all?
