Simply Complicated

chapter 39

It was already five 'o 'clock and my engagement was in less then two hours . After alot of thinking and re thinking , I realised that he is my source of happiness. If not him then I cannot be happy with anyone else . Every one deserves a second chance. I once again listened to my heart and accepted the proposal.

Before my mom entered , I had showered and blow dried my hair and put the silver and pink gown that was sparkling on the bed due to the rays of the sun that was on the verge to set.

"Mashallah , you look beautiful " said mom checking me out from head to toe. In return I just smiled.

Everyone was busy in preparations to welcome Murat's family . But for me every second felt like hour .

I cannot even believe that soon I was going to start a journey which involves not being her parents princess ,but her husband's queen. I accepted to marry the person I hated all these years . That's the strange thing about life , we never know who would become our partner in journey. Allah is the best of planners, he creates way when we think it's impossible to even take a step.

When it was just an hour left , I sat in front of my dressing table and did makeup myself. Mom insisted to hire some girl but I said no as I wanted to keep it simple. It took me long to finish it but as I was done ,I glanced for the last time in the mirror. Only in my dreams I actually thought this to happen. I used to think about marrying him but after what he did , I had lost all my hopes.

"I know you are nervous, but you should rather be happy , because you are going to marry the man you love " Sara appi said while entering my room.

"You know this feeling right?"

"Yes, don't worry . You will get over it soon . Enjoy each and every moment that's what I suggest " she said

"Guests are almost here " informed mom and then left.

Along with Sara appi , I ran towards the balcony and stood in the corner in a way that only i can see what's going on the road . I saw the car approaching and I felt my heartbeat increasing.

The guests who were only 15 in number And were going to sit in two different rooms. It was for the second time Murat has come to my house after we shifted here. I recalled the memories of last time. Our encounter and his confessions, what a deadly combination it was .

Before going downstairs I prayed
"Bring us together if we are meant to , ya Allah , and make him good for me in this world and hereafter"

"Don't worry he doesn't wish to see you tonight , he said he will see you on the day of nikaah itself " Sara appi said .

We decided to keep marriage in a Islamic way hence we were following every ritual.

"As if I was going to let him see me " I smirked

-----------

"Mashallah you look breath taking" said Saba as she came forward to hug me .I hugged her back and smiled at her compliment.

"Dress suits you" said aunty (My future mother in law)

"Thank you " I replied shyly .

"Let's have dinner before the ring ceremony " said my mom .

All of them proceeded towards the dinner table . Everyone were enjoying their dinner and I was sitting back inside my room.
But to my rescue came Sara appi along with food for me to eat.
I was nervous more than hungry . I just ate spoonful of rice with curry .

After my dinner Sara appi took me along with her . I walked down the stairs and entered the living room ,full of complete silence , where all were seated all round the couches.

Mom instructed me to sit on a couch near her . Aunty removed a box from her bag . All eyes were on me and I immediately felt more shy.

"It's Murat's choice " said aunty while revealing the beautiful gold ring .
Everyone's eyes were on me and they all seemed happy.
She handed me the box along with another box of gold bangles that was a gift from her side.

"Murat's choice isn't bad" said Sara appi with a slight chuckle.

Everyone was laughing at her little compliment .

Engagement wasn't that dreadful as I imagined it to be . And I hope nikaah will be much better.
