"Ladies and gentle men please rise up as we welcome the bride and groom in" the MC announced which made all the people present in the hall rise up.

There comes the bride and her groom dressed expensively in their wedding outfits.

Firdausi was wearing a gold coloured gown sowed perfectly with crystal stones adorned all over the gown which gave it a very unique look.

Her ornaments were pure gold starting from her necklace, earing, bracelets, long chain and rings.

Her make up was the full definition of nude colour.

Her henna was designed beautifully Masha Allah.

The only thing she lacks was a genuine smile on her face.

Although she's smiling but the smile hasn't reached her heart which turned it into a frown.

While imran was dressed in a well embroidered set of babbar riga with an expensive cap, designer watch and shoes walking right beside his bride with no trace of smile whatsoever on his face.

(He came because umma has given him a warning that he has to come as he's the groom because at first he told her he don't want to attend any of the events. She scolded him and even gave him the clothes he's wearing now so that he won't say he doesn't know what to wear).

Camera flashes was all you could see.

After sitting on the chair that was meant for them, the event started.

All the people present were dressed elegantly in their expensive clothes and are happy to attend the wedding of Alhaji Mahmud Jinjiri's son the well known businessman and Imran the handsome and also a millionaire in the making though he isn't that famous.

All that while khair and ummu were nowhere to be seen until when the MC announced the performance that is to be done by the groom's sisters.

The girls came and stood on the dance floor and arranged themselves dancing in sync with the music.

Out of the six girls, khair and ummu were the other two, then four of their cousins including the bride's sister.

Imran kept his eyes glued to khair and admiring how beautiful she looked in her royal blue lace sown into skirt and blouse.

If you're close to him you'll think he's watching all their performance but in his mind he's only watching one girl and that girl is khair.

His eyes traveled to her body, he saw how the clothes fit her body perfectly and how every inch of her body was outlined.

He started to feel angry saying "how can she come in front of all these people without veil? And who sowed this clothes for her? They are too tight" in his mind and kept praying for the performance to finish as soon as possible.

Little does he know that she was forced by ummu to dance without the veil as she's wrapped it before they started dancing.

Minutes later they were done dancing.

The dinner continued and came to an end few hours later after everyone has eaten to his/her heart's content, some danced and some sprayed money on the dance floor.

The following day was Saturday; wedding fatiha of Muhammad Mahmoud Jinjiri and Firdausi Bashir.

The wedding knot was tied at 11:30 am of that Saturday.

The groom was exchanging pleasantries with the guest but with a frown on his face.

(Some of them noticed that but because they usually do not see imran smiling they thought that's how his smile is).

The bride was conveyed to her husband's house the following day.

Before mukthar accompanied imran to his house he gave him a very heart touching advice about marriage and about firdausi's rights on him and informed him about the consequences of not giving her the rights she deserve which he knows that he's well aware of and about letting the love he has for his ex girlfriend go; as his good friend and the person who always gives him advice whether he likes it or not.

After Imran escorted mukthar to his car he left and imran went back into the house with a heavy heart.

He promised himself to not let the love he has for khair blind him and stop him from exercising his duties as a husband.

And he also promised to suppress his feelings and not to let them out in the open.

As it is none of their faults; neither his nor hers because it's an arranged marriage, so why punish her for what she has no idea about.

***********

Two months into the marriage and imran has kept his promise even though at times when he visits home and sees khair, he sees her becoming more and more beautiful by the day.

Whenever he lays his eyes on khair she looks more beautiful than the last time he sees her.

Talking about khair, her relationship with mukthar is blossoming and his status has start to change.

From a very good friend to lover though they haven't confessed their feelings.

Her studies have started because she was given admission in BUK, architecture is the course and are close to starting their first semester exams.

Ummu on the other hand was given chemistry in BUK also.

Ruquayya was home doing nothing else but waiting for the day she'll get married because haj hajara has assigned her malam to take Alhaji's mind off investigating further about ruquayya's fiance because he can't seem to agree with what haj hajara told him.

If only she knows what sort of guy basheer is she wouldn't for one second think of marrying her daughter to him and won't stop Alhaji from investigating about him.

But she's blinded and wants to marry her daughter off as soon as possible only to prove that her daughter got married first before her other sisters.

Salam guys please say a prayer to my precious mother as today is her birthday🎂🎊.

The other day I read something which goes like "parents give so much to rear their children, they do not wait to be recompensed by their children, they naturally do it out of love and affection, therefore we should be greatful to them"

I hope and pray that one day I and my siblings should be given the chance to do something out of what you did to us even though I know we can't do half of what you did to us, but I hope one day we got the chance to do something for you.

I love you ummana❤️ and happy birthday once again to the world's most wonderful and best mother 🥂.
