Since we tend to overlook people's struggles, let us refrain from passing judgment on anyone since everyone is going through difficult times.

Yumna:
After dinner, we had just finished watching an Islamic television series on Hum. My aunt and uncle went to pray Isha, and I followed suit, not realizing that my aunt had other plans and had left early for her room.

I stayed on the mat after the Isha prayer and continued to think about that Incidet at the hospital.

Has he received a threat from someone?or Is there something that scares him because he has not been acting right since the accident?
Since we were getting along before the accident, why was he avoiding me without any explanation?

It is already 8 p.m. and we ate after maghrib, so I am free now. My friends have decided to come today, but I have no idea who or when they will show up. Insha'Allah, I will find out tomorrow is the henna (mehndi) function.

When I went to open the door, there was already a line of people waiting to enter, including Aisha. I smiled, thinking that now would be the fun part—especially when it came to making fun of my brother and her—and a smirk appeared on my face. Can't wait .

"What's happening?"I was too bewildered by all these unfamiliar faces of women, some of whom I did not even know, so I asked.

"Go upstairs and wear any dress you like," Aisha said, dragging me over to my cupboard.

"Choose for me Since you are telling me this at the last minute, I have no idea what is going on upstairs. "I told her where all of my casual dresses and the new ones were kept.

She made me wear a long, pink kurti with a churidar and made me put on some makeup.

"What is going on?"She told me to tie my hijab and follow her when I asked, but that is just the way she is.

Where was Imran? Is my brother still at work during my wedding week? I have not seen him since the afternoon. Damn these girls.
********
Soon we climbed the stairs and the sight just amazed me and left my mouth hanging open everywhere it was decorated since it was night function, dim colourful lights were flickering and coloured balloons were moving due to wind, beside the decoration there was a speaker on high table and infront of decoration there was cream sofa they made me facing audience as I saw chairs and some neighbours had already arrived.

"Surprise," heard familiar voices and when I turned I saw Alya and Lubayna with huge smile on their faces and Aisha.

"When did you girls come?"I asked them while standing up to hug them and they hugged me saying they just wanted to give me surprise they came yesterday and planned with Aisha this small program.

They made me sit I roamed my eyes around and there was carpet below which I noticed now and not before  and around another table food stuffs and drinks with blackforest cake...ya Allah these girls.

Since when we're they planning all these?

I feel so emotional and blessed to have them in my life. Alhamdulillah

*****
"Okey we begin with young girls reciting dua,"Alya began speaking and two girls who are our neighbours started reciting dua(prayer).

"Now we would  like to call some other few girls to come and recite nasheeds,"they showed three girls were to sit.

Alhamdulillah there was no music.

Once they were done they asked me questions about Ahad infront of everyone at first I was nervous but then I remembered what he had told me during our meetings and chats.
They were putting gum which I hardly eatand they told me one wrong one gum ya Allah my mouth will be filled with chewing gums which I don't like batook it feels like it expires in the mouth that's why I don't like it.

I answered five out of the ten questions correctly, and they all began to tease me. After that, we played Parce the Parcel with kids and all the ladies, including us girls. A small girl was declared the winner, and she was later given a prize.

Everyone was joyful and chatting about their day when they started playing an Indian song. We then played the dandia and said the dua, or prayer, to end the event.

In addition to telling me to cut the cake, they served food and beverages.Thank God, everything was finished. Ahad and I made a funny phone recording of a song they had composed for us.

Since this was only a ladies' and girls' night, I hope you all had a great time with us. Thank you so much for coming, as we only announced and planned this last minute.When Aisha finished her sentence, I could not help but go give her a hug for making today so amazing.

"Aisha and the rest of you, I am so grateful that you all knew about these plans. I would like you all to stay here from tomorrow until the wedding concludes because tomorrow is mehndi day and the mehndi corns will be distributed at night. May Allah send someone special to each of you, I pray.

God has made a decision for us since our birth. "Amen," I said, hugging the girls as we sat.

Eventually, only four girls remained, as the others went home to rest.
Oh, what a night.

As we were taking selfies, I opened my phone to see that Imran and his friends had gone down to the guys. From what I could gather, Imran had returned from work and they were going to some bachelor's party before returning home.

Was Ahad actually down there? Once more, the memory of him made me question if I was making the right choice.
Will we bring each other to bliss and lead each other there together?
Ya Allah, guide me.
