My broken pieces (on hold)

Chapter four

                            بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

My house is filled up with people and the preparations for my auspicious day is taking place as tomorrow I am going to tie the knot, I am going to complete the half of my deen, I am going to be a wife, a daughter in law, and SubhanallAh maybe a mother if Allah wills. Since that encounter I had with Zaid the other day they visited to finalize things I didn't hear from him nor did I care to contact him, besides I don't even have his number and I don't know what exactly I am getting myself into, I don't know if he's really the man that mom thinks he is. What if I am marrying someone that will not make me happy? Is he really gonna make me happy! I thought to myself but AstagfirullAh I am in no position to judge him for I myself isn't perfect, I have flaws, I commit sins and all.... Ya Allah forgive me for my shaytanic thoughts. I slapped myself lightly and said no more negative thoughts, positive vibes only.

My mom shouted my name to come down because Aunt Maimuna have come with the henna artist and my in laws have arrived. I can't believe that I will be getting married in few hours and that thought scares me, I don't have friends because people consider me to be irksome, my mom is my only friend, I needed her to be by my side but God she's so busy, I brace myself and was lead down by my favorite aunt Fatima. She told me to take in a deep breath and recite "اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُوفَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلىَ نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ O Allah, I hope for Your mercy. Do not leave me to myself even for the blinking of an eye. Correct all of my affairs for me. There is none worthy of worship but You." Which I gladly did and it helps a lot when Ruman saw me she came to me running, the innocent girl hugged the life out of me and wallah it gave me hope, she said finally tomorrow you will be with us and I can't tell how happy I am.

The henna ceremony was almost over everyone enjoyed, the elderly women singed and danced, the rest were busy chitchatting and the most amazing part was that Ruman was by my side all this time and BillAhi (By Allah) I love her, she's so fun to be with. When they are leaving she kissed my forehead and said till I see ya in the walima ( marriage banquet) Mart akhi and I blushed.

Later in the night I was sitting with my mom in our favorite spot in the house which is our backyard, I laid down my head in her tender laps, we stayed like that for more than half an hour before I broke the ice and said mom don't you have anything to tell me? My mom cleared her throat and said Asiya I just want you to be patient, without patient you won't achieve anything in life, obey your husband, fulfill his rights over him, never let him down nor upset him, no matter what will happen between the two of you don't include a third party and don't ever go to sleep while your husband is upset with you ask for forgiveness and sort things out. Be patient with your in laws and don't ever give them a chance to complain about you. Asiya I know you're very strong, nice and beautiful woman. I believe that you will never let me down and she suddenly broke up with tears.. webcried their eyes out and went to sleep in each other's embrace.

It was time for them to go to the mosque for the wedding contract, Zaid was all set, he wore his Armani suits, he looks so breathtaking but he's heart was full of hatred for Asiya he thought why did she agrees to marry him after he had made a promise never to get married again not in this life, is it because of his money, and he don't know why until now they didn't tell them about the mahr (dowry) price, he was lost in his thoughts when his father declared his entrance in Zaid's room, his father sat across him and said Zaid I don't want you to think about the past and I want you to fear Allah in this innocent woman and I promise you, you won't regret marrying her and one day you will thank me for choosing her for you. How I wish your mom is alive to witness you starting over all again but it's okay she's in a better place and she did be proud of you. Zaid please take care of your wife for she's an amana (trust) by Allah that is all I can say, now let's get going because we don't want to be late do we ? He said no father let's go.

Asiya, her mom and uncle Uwais have arrived at the mosque while the rest of the family members have headed to the reception.. her mom held her hands and they found Zaid and he's father waiting for them. The imam told Zaid that Asiya wanted him to recite Suratul Rahman as her dowry and to say he was shocked was understatement he was like this girl is something else and it weakens him so much so that when he recite the Surah Ar-Rahman with his melodious voice he sobbed whenever he comes across this verse "فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny?" He thought to himself what was wrong with him all this while and what took him away from Allah? Women? No this have to stop but he has gone so far... and yes he wants a revenge. Asiya on the other hand was weeping as her husband recite the Chapter 55 of the Holy Quran. Ar-Rahman was her favorite chapter and she's so happy that her dreams come true to witness her husband reciting her favorite surah of the Quran as her mahr (dowry). The imam declared Zaid and Asiya as husband and wife.

They all gathered at the reception people congratulating them and all, the men where at the top of the hall while the women where down, everything there was so simple as Asiya requested, dinner was served and everyone had a great time Alhamdulillah. Now it's time to convey the bride to her new home. Zaid came forward and gave his hand to Asiya she hold his hand and they walk away from the hall leaving behind her mother. They sat in the car and no one utter a word till they reached their destination. She silently followed Zaid everywhere in the house was dark and quiet she thought, when they rang the doorbell Ruman opened it with a smile on her face and welcomed her sister in law open heartedly, and the lights turn on and she heard people saying welcome to your new home. She felt loved and for that she was happy, Ruman offered to take her to her room and she gladly accepted the offer as she was exhausted, she entered the room with BismillAh and her right foot. Ruman told her to freshen up and rest as it is late and she seems tired. Mart akhi see you tomorrow she beamed and left Asiya.

Zaid Salaamed and cleared his throat and said I want to tell you something so listen very attentively, first of all I will never love you and secondly never expect anything from me, you know what I promise to make your life a living hell, your greatest mistake was agreeing to marry me and you will pay for it. Asiya couldn't move an inch because she was shocked and heartbroken because this is her wedding night and her husband is telling her that he will never love her and he will make her life a living hell? She couldn't control her tears and he cleared his throat again and said you know what? I can't share my room with you never it's either you sleep in the balcony or the toilet.

Assalamu Alaykum warahmatullAhi wabarkatuHu I hope everyone is in good state of health and eman

I don't even know what to say seriously because Zaid is flinty 😪😪😪 poor Asiya
