"As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once."

"Do you have faith in me?" He asks.

"Yes, I do but don't forget what happened when yo..."

"Ammi (mom) please not now, I remember everything but please trust me I won't disappoint you. When the right time comes I'll tell everything to Abbu (dad) till then please keep this secret with you." Shahid doesn't let his mom complete her sentence.

"Ok beta (child), so I guess you plan to get settled there?" She asks.

"No Ammi, how can I settle here in London when my family resides there. I'll surely return after computing my studies. I hope you'll surely love your daughter-in-law. She's a sweet and lovely person." Shahid assures his mom.

"Think about it son, it'll be good for you to live there as your wife will find it hard to adjust it here." His Mom expresses her views.

"Let's see what happens later on but for now pray for your Son's happiness and give me your blessings." Shahid changes the topic.

"May Allah give you all the happiness in this world and a happy and contented married life. May Allah always keep this bond of love between you two strong." His Mom makes a short prayer and he replies as Ameen and after greeting her goodbye disconnects the call.

"Isn't the would-be groom feeling sleepy? Or are you dreaming about bhabhi (sister-in-law)?" Abdul Hadi asks as he finds Shahid starting at the ceiling when he enters their bedroom.

"Nothing like that, I'm just worried about Abbu, I mean how will he react? Will he get broken again or will he be happy? Will he get angry upon me or will he feel glad? I'm really confused, Hadi." Shahid shares his worry with Hadi.

"Don't worry everything will be fine and I'm sure Uncle will accept both of you wholeheartedly." Abdul Hadi assures him.

"Congratulation." Adi greeted the newly married couple outside the marriage registration office.

"Wait a minute bro, first let him marry according to Shariat (Islamic principal). Cone on Shahid the Qazi Sahab is waiting for us." Abdul Hadi took everyone to Shahid's house for the nikah ceremony.

After reaching Shahid's home they did the nikah. After the nikah, Qazi Sahab left and the remaining people who were Adi, Maximilian, Joe, Elli, Tahsin, Abdul Hadi and the newly wedded couple eat their lunch.

Adi, Abdul Hadi, Tahsin, Shahid and Sidhra offered Salah while Max, Joe and Eli cleaned the dishes. As after the Salah, they have to do a tough task to tell Minar about Shahid-Sidhra's marriage.
