We didn't do much for my birthday because everyone was busy with the baarat today. I didn't mind because Amir bhai promised to throw me a party to make up for it.
"Good morning jani!"
"Ughh kya hai?"
"Grumpy."
"Yeah well wouldn't you be if shehry kept snoring all night?"
"Well I do get annoyed when aena and amen snore at night."
"Tell me about it..anyways.happy birthday...did you bring chai?"
"No..you should've brought breakfast for me but I woke up before you."
"Cmon babe please..."
"Yeah yeah...hold on I brought chai."
He took a sip and then looked up.
"Go look in your closet. There's a little surprise there.."
"Ok come with me."
"Alright."
~.~
We went to my room upstairs and he guided me to my closet.
"Open it."
"I'm scared...what is in there?"
"Almaari kholo ayesha." He said and gave me a glare.
"Ok ok cool it mr.grumpy love."
"Mr.Grumpy love?..never mind that open the closet."
"Ok."
I opened the closet and saw nothing but A big black hanger bag thingy in there.
"Is it that black thing?"
"Yupp."
I opened it and saw a beautiful dress. It was brownish with a huge lehenga.
"Baby..this is beautifu! When did you get it?"
"Yesterday, when we were at that boutique."
"Really?"
"Yeah...and open the box behind the bag."
"More?"
"Look."
I opened the box and saw matching stilettos.
"Oh my god! I love these!"
"There's more.."
"What?"
"There's another box in there."
"You've got to be kidding me."
I looked for the box and found it next to my dresses. It was a beautiful jewelry box.
"Open in."
"It's empty.."
"Nope"
I opened it and saw two sets of churiyan, a pair of earrings along with a matching maang tikka.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"
I yelled jumping on him.
"Thank you thank you thank you! I love you soooo much!!!!!" And gave him a huge kiss on the cheek.
"Your welcome love. I love you too."
"WHAT HAPPENED? cheekh kyun Rahi thi."
"Kuch nahi..I got freaked out by the presents he got me."
"What did he get you.."
"You'll see tonight." I winked at her.
She turned around and started yelling downstairs
"Kuch nahi! Pagal ho gayye hai...."and she turned back around to me. "and by the way happy birthday big sis." And she gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Love you."
"Thank you, love you too!"
"Hey hey hey..I'm still in the room." I heard hussain from behind me.
"Ok now go I have to get ready for the baarat!"
"Alright. Gimme a kiss like before first."
I gave him a kiss and he left.
"Beta jaldi tyaar ho! Abhi nikal na hai! Door jana hai!"
"Acha baba."
I took a Quick shower and shaved my legs. I got out 20 minutes later and heard my phone go off.
Hussain-Love you babe..you'll look beautiful tonight.😉😘
I blushed and left it at that.
I put on my dress and curled my hair and adjusted my maang tikka.
I did my make up and put my jewelry on. I looked like the bride..I didn't have a necklace. I hated wearing bulky and huge necklaces. I only had the one hussain gave me and my childhood gold 'Allah' chain.
I put on my shoes and adjusted my dupatta. I was done.
"Ashi Jaan! Jaldi aao..tumhara hi wait kar rahe hein."
"Shit..iyeee."
I went downstairs and saw everyone gathered outside.
"Aa gayye mein..aagayye!"
"Wow." I heard shehry say,
I saw this random aunty that was with us. She was giving me a weird look. My dress was sheer and it showed a bit of my stomach..but all the detailing covered it..
"Beta Bohot achi lag Rahi ho..Tum saare larkiyan Bohot pyari lag raho ho."
"Thank you baba."
Surprisingly all us girls were wearing matching colors.
"Wah g wah..Bohot pyari lag Rahi hai meri bachi." Aena said to me.
"Tum bhi Bohot pyari lag Rahi ho."
"Our hum?" Amen said pointing at her and all my other cousins.
"Bohot ache!!! Hum sabse ache lage gein baarat pe..akhir baarati hai..thoda toh rob Hona chiye."
"Sahi bola." I heard aseel say.
I never liked it when he talked to me. I smiled a fake smile.
~.~
All of us cousins were in my car..my huge car.
Hussain drove and I sat in the front next to him..he held my hand the whole time.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Awwww love birds." Amen snapped me out of my thoughts
"Jab tere shadi hone wali hogi na..toh mein poochon gi."
"Ok behn maaf kar,"
"Love you meri jaan."
~.~
We finally get to the venue and we enter with a Big Bang!
My cousins amen and I danced on 'chote chote Bhaiyo ke bade bhaiya' and the punjabi dhol.
"Baby you look beautiful." Hussain whispered in my ear as we were sitting at our table.
"That's the millionth time you told me"
"That's it? I thought I said it way more."
"Shut up will you?"
"Love you too."
~.~
After the baarat everyone came over to my place. My room was taken by everyone. I had to sleep in the basement with hussain.
"Hussain! Ashi! Idhar aao!"
My mom called me to her bedroom. All my cousins were there..maybe my parents wanna tell me something.
"Idhar betho dono."
"Ok?"
"Acha beta..ek kush kabri hai."
"Kya?"
"Kal tumhara nikah hai..Amir ki walime pe."
"WHAT?" I had my hands over my mouth!
I hugged hussain to tight.
"We're getting married."
"Aur aur aur.." My dad continued.
"This weekend shaadi hai."
"What? Really baba!!?"
"Han mere bachi."
"Oh my god!!! Hussain! Humari shadi ho Rahi hai!!!"
Hussain laughed and gave me a hug.
I had tears pricking my eyes.
"Why are you crying?"
"I'm so happy."
I looked around the room and saw aseel walking out, all depressed.
I didn't care about him after what he had done..and he always acts like nothing happened.
~.~
I kept thinking about tomorrow. I was going to be mrs.ayehsa hussain asif. I couldn't believe it.
I was hanging around in my living room just listening to music until my phone went off. I saw and it was Hussain.
Hussain- hey love.
Me-hey
Hussain- Wyd?
Me- in the living room listening to music. Hbu?
Hussain- thinking of you.
Me- please don't try to be a film hero
Hussain- ok I'm coming up.
Me-ok
I quickly looked at what I was wearing. I was wearing black leggings with a white V neck t-shirt. Then I realized I didn't care because tomorrow ill be married to him.
"What are you thinking about?" Hussain came and sat across from me since I was still laying down. He leaned towards my knees so that he was basically laying on my legs and went on his phone and took selfies. So original.
"Stop babe."
"Why?" He said with a huge smile.
"Because I look bad!!"
"You look fine."
Like 30 seconds I got a notification from Twitter and Instagram because he posted the pics.
"Why?" I whined.
"Because I love you." He said without looking up from his phone.
"Ugh."
Hussain scooted closer towards me and laid his head on my stomach and went to sleep. He looked so peaceful, and pretty soon I went to sleep too.
