This chapter is dedicated to RayihatFatima, inej_ghafa and draftingdaisies for their encouraging words..
Do check out their work..

I brushed aside my negative thoughts and went to sleep thinking about Asad.

Oh... I'm so sorry... I forgot to tell you about Asad!!!!

Asad was my fiancee. He was dark, handsome but not tall.... Just of average height , which I didn't mind.

He worked as a manager at a top MNC in new delhi.
His family was in Bhopal, where I lived.

He was the son of a close friend of abbu.

I had only met him twice.
He insisted that we talk on the phone, which I denied respectfully as it was haram.
But he accepted my decision which I was grateful for.

The wedding:

I woke up feeling uneasy.
The same which I felt at night again surrounded me.
But I brushed it aside as my nervousness.

It was about 7 p. m.
I was all dressed up in the salon.
I was with Shanzay who also got ready there .

She was looking gorgeous in a pink net saree. She literally looked like a model.

"Mashallah!! "
I instantly said admiring her.

She laughed and responded...
"Hoori have you looked at YOURSELF??? You do really look like a 'hoor' (beautiful women in heaven). .
My God!!! Asad bhai is so damn lucky!!! "

I looked in the mirror and gasped...

I was dressed in a maroon lehenga with golden embroidery all over it.
The top was also maroon and made of a soft, velvety material.. It had full sleeves and a little embellished on the neck and sleeves.

I always liked something graceful and light.. But this was a wedding..
Anyways, it was my mother in law's choice.

My eyes were not big and beautiful like shanzay or layla, but they were chocolate brown and attractive.
They shone brightly under the golden eyeshadow.
My cheekbones were high and they looked perfect with a touch of highlighter.
My lips, which I personally thought were my best feature, were adorned with bold dark maroon lipstick.
My hair were up in a messy bun with loose strands around my face

The dupatta was maroon with golden embroidery and really heavy.
It was draped across my body, coming from the bottom towards the top and onto my shoulder, like a saree.
The other lighter net dupatta was set perfectly on my head.

To my surprise, I did look pretty.
I was not considered a beautiful girl conventionally, but some said I was cute.

"Ok... Hoori..Enough of this procrastination... Let's go... Everyone must be waiting for us. Let me call ahmed bhai"
Shanzay said snapping me out of my thoughts and taking out her cellphone.

We both took a pic first. Smiling and laughing.
I didn't know it was short lived.

She then dialled ahmed's number.
"Oh shit... He's not picking up.. He must be waiting outside.. Let's go.. "
She grabbed my hand and helped me with my dress.

We both went outside and saw ahmed's car parked at the front.

"Ok... Hoori, you go with ahmed bhai.. Ayesha is waiting for me inside.
I'll come with her. "
Shanzay said hurriedly and went inside..

I picked up my lehenga and started walking towards the car.

Ahmed came out of the car....

No....

Wait.....
That is not ahmed..

To my utter shock.. It was...

Haaris...!!!!
