Requital (COMPLETED)

Chapter 34 - Blooming love.

"If Allah SWT has ordained something to be yours, it definitely will be. You might not get it immediately, you might have to work hard and toil for it, you may have to continuously supplicate for it, you may pass a phase in your life, where you  fall down and lose hope.

It's okay to fall down , but you have to pick yourself up, and make yourself stronger than before. incrase your determination and highten your expectation, fight for what you want  and with the will of Allah, if it's meant to be yours it will always find a way towards you."

-Jauhary

The dazzling gold embroidery of the dress sparkled beneath the whimsical lights of the hall as Yusaira walked in elegantly. Her heavily embellished veil atop her scarf trailed behind her. The combination of pure white and the beautiful golden embroidery enhanced  her features. The lights of  the hall cast a radiant glow on her face and caused a halo of light to encircle her head. A thin layer of base coated her face. A rich cherry red lipstick painted her lips.
A slight sprinkle of blush ran along her cheekbones. A mixture of dark brown and a glittery gold eye shadow  decorated her eye lids, her eye liner winged to perfection. A slick of mascara as well as a line of kuhul caused her chocolate brown eyes to stand out.

She looked gorgeous as a bride and because she never really wore much make up usually, the make up enhanced her beauty on this special day.

The tumultuous voices of the children, as well as the mummering of the women reverberated throughout the hall as she walked towards the front table.

The hall hired for the walima was rather small in size, only close family and friends were invited. Both the families were not fond of huge functions and unnecessary expenses, rather they spent more on the flat that they had furnished for the newly wed couple, assuring they had all that they needed.

Taeeba, Asma, Leyya and Tasneem walked alongside her, all overjoyed that the big day had finally arrived.

The girls had decided to wear champagne coloured dresses, that hugged their waists and flared from the waist down.

As they helped Yusaira settle down on the couch assigned for her, Taeeba leaned down whispering in her ear.

"Ma Sha Allah you're looking exceptionally beautiful today. Suhaib will never be able to take his eyes off of you."

Yusaira blushed pretilly.

Suhaib had seen her for a few minutes after the Nikaah, but at that time she was just wearing a simple abaya and scarf along with light make up.

Those few moments had been the most awkward moments of her life and because there wasn't much time before the walima, he stood beside her bed awkwardly, he greeted her, asked how she was, she replied to him and asked him the same, to which he replied, then he ambled out of the room , looking more flustered and nervous than she felt.

A tender smile graced her lips, he was rather adorable in his flustered state.

"Oh myyy! She's already lost in the thoughts of her prince charming.
Look at her smiling to herself."

Yusaira lifted her gaze, settling it on a heavily pregnant Humairaa.

With her tea pink baby doll dress, a cute baby bump and that pregnancy glow that people always spoke about, her friend looked so different.
