Jannat

A promise

The sunshine peeks through the window lighting the whole room Welcoming a new day. Dad always use to says "Don't let the shadows of yesterday spoil the sunshine of tomorrow. Live for today". Last night was a long night but I felt so light as a huge burden has been lifted. I can't wipe the grin on my face as the three words Omar said kept on coming back " I love you". He loves me I was happy would be a small word , I feel like out of this world. He accepts me with all my flaws. I get off the bed connect my phone to my speaker and play the strange magic cartoon playlist. I loved the movie two different people , their  personalities worlds apart  falling in love with each other. As I walk into the shower the music flows in the background

🎵Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Oh, shall I stay, would it be a sin
Oh, if I can't help falling in love with you?🎵

I sing along while in the shower , as I finish I walk into the closet and select a cream coloured oversized knee length turtleneck sweater , a darker shade turban , dark brown thigh pants , green heels , long necklace with an emerald green stone at the end and finish it off with a nude pink lipstick and natural makeup. I look into the oversized mirror happy with myself I get out of the room. While I take my phone out still music playing , as Tell Him song plays

🎵I know something about love
You've gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
The very part of you
That make you wanna breath
Here's the thing to do:
Tell him, that
You're never gonna leave him
Tell him, that
You're always going to love him
Tell him
(Tell him)
Tell him
Tell her right now!🎵

I shout for Maan to get up ,walking into the kitchen still singing along and connecting to the speaker in kitchen via Bluetooth I stop at my feet. " W-What are ... How did you get in " I stumble my words out . Omar is sitting in the kitchen bar stool sipping on a starbucks with a smile of this face . " I rang the bell and Maan opened the door while you were singing at the top of your lungs in the bathroom, I must say Masha Allah you have a beautiful voice, it will be a blessing to wake up to your voice" I blush " and what do you wanna tell me" I looked at him confused and he points to the speaker smiling. I smile and try to change the subject "So what brings you here?" . He takes a big box and pass at me to open, I had a dozen donut of different flavor and a little red box in the middle. I look up at him confused, he motions for me to open it , it was a ring . three layer ring first two layers were in an X with small diamond detailing and the other layer had a small diamond detailing and a huge diamond in the middle. I look up at him and he moves near me taking the rind and slipping it into my ring figure  " It a promise ring, a promise to respect, love and protect. He gives me a peak on the forehead.

I smile at him " For someone unemployed it sure is a huge diamond are you sure it's not a fake". He looks at me as if I have hurt his feelings "I am the CEO of my ..." he stops when I touch his chest and smile. He was wearing a yellow hoodie which said "UNEMPLOYED". He smile at me. After having coffee and donut he drops me to my office. I can't stop smiling he was fighting with me and Maan for the chocolate donuts, I remember how he was pouting when Maan took the last chocolate donut. As I walk into the office I bump into MJ she smiles and gives me a hug. " I am sorry for running last night" She tighten the hug " its ok I am happy to see you smiling now , so has he smitten you" I blush " thank you MJ for trusting and giving me the best gift". "Please now will you stop calling me that dreadful nickname and call mom" I smile at her "no can't do that because now MJ Stands for Mummy Jaan"and go back to work.
It has been a best few days of my life and today is the day I am going to get officially get engaged. We decided to ditch the traditions as we were all from diverse cultures and it would be a huge headache if we try to incorporate all the culture traditions so we're agreed on a small engagement and wedding ceremony.

Last night we had a small henna function. I today I am sitting here wearing a blush peach color long 3d lace dress pairing with a blush pink shawl fixed into a turban, long brown earing and a pair of brown heels. We had decided to keep the ceremony simple so it's in the Jaan mansion and people present were two of Omar's friends Smith , Abraham they will also be  responsible as our witness on our wedding day and their wives , Maan , MJ and Us. MJ gave us a two beautiful silver rings which had our fingerprints caved in and we exchange the rings. And the Mahr was given (Islamic law commands a groom to give the bride a gift called a Mahr prior to the consummation of the marriage. A mahr differs from the standard meaning of bride-price in that it is not to the family of the bride, but to the wife to keep for herself). It was a small but private ceremony. Omar helps us get to home and before I go into the house he stops and whispers to me "One more day and you will be mine" and kisses my forehead goodbye. Maan runs inside first and her scream fills the air.
