Ashraf's POV
"Sorry Ashraf , i can't marry you " princess said leaving me addled ,
"Pa......pa....pardon?" I managed to utter with much difficultly
Farida's POV
"Hmm he thought I would give in so quickly, well I scared the life out of him , look at how his darling eyes are looking so scared " I said to my inner self , while realistically putting on a smile
"Why won't you marry me?" He asked
"Is it because you think I'm still the same person you first. Princess I promise to honor and respect you. I will never give you a reason to regret your decision of being with me."
"You've changed me completely, I'm so glad that i met you " He concluded, catching his breath .
"I won't marry you Ashraf , but I will surely marry a man that has patiently loved me. A man that saw my flaws, but still choose to blend them into perfections. Why won't I marry a man that not only loves me , but also love the people that love me ? Why won't I marry such a beautiful soul ?"
" A soul that I will want my children to be just like him" I declared, then paused and looked straight to a flabbergasted looking Ashraf .
"I have watched you changed for the good and I'm honestly happy. Thank you for putting up with me"
"Yes Ashfy, I will marry you if God permits it and I pray he does " I ended the conversation with a smile .
"Wait a sec , that's not your job to do " Ammi said declared, stopping him from putting the ring he was attempting to put on my finger,
She commanded Ashraf to follow their family's tradition, by giving the ring over to Aadila to put on my finger, which he did ..............
Aadila and Anty yeesha walked up to me with smiles on their faces ,
Anty yeesha stool close to me , while Aadila stool close to Ashraf .
"Ashraf with your permission and consent , may I put on this blessed ring on farida's third finger ? which will symbolize your interest and readiness to wed her ?" Aadila asked Ashraf
"Yes ! yes ! yes of course " He said , sounding impatient which made all of us laughed .
"OK, Your turn now princess .
When I ask you ,you are not expected to give me a direct answer, but you are expected to whisper the answer into Anty yeesha's ears , whom will tell us your answer okay?" Aadila said to me
"OK" I answered feeling extremely shy, with my head bowed down
"Oh lord help me , I hope I'm making the right decision . My heart is pounding fast !am I really getting engaged for real ?" I kept asking my inner soul
"Farida with your permission and consent , May I put on this blessed ring on your finger , Which will symbolize Ashraf's interest and readiness to wed you ?" Aadila asked me
I turned around slightly to Anty yeesha and whispered " nifa wani iri nake ji (I'm feeling awkward ) "
"It's okay Sis , it happens to every lady . Just take a deep breath and spill out your decision" Anty yeesha said to me , touching my cheeks
"Yes I will marry him insha Allah" I whispered to her , who turned around smiling at Aadila
"Yes you may put on the ring around my little sister's finger, for she is ready to wed your brother insha Allah" Anty yeesha announced
"Masha Allah" all the family said in chorus , while Aadila put on the ring on my right finger .
Everyone started clapping in the restaurant as they were all in love with the traditions of Ashraf's family .
