Because, Its Halal - muslim Romance #Wattys 2015#YourStoryIndia

Chapter 33 - Because, its halal.

Prophet PBUH said " when a husband and wife look at each other with love, Allah SWT looks at them with mercy"

Because, its halal.

I was given touch up before leaving for the hall, Yusuf had come to pick me from the mosque where Zaroon's nikah was held.

Mum, Aisha bhabhi, Mahira, Fiza and I were just sitting in the car with Yusuf.

"When anybody comes and talks to you just smile..the bride shouldn't talk to much" Mum said, she was instructing me from the last 10 minutes as to how a bride should behave.

"Okay!" I say sighing.

"Ammi give her a break..she's already very nervous, dont burden her more" Yusuf says from the driving seat.

"You children have a problem with anything I say..Im just telling for your good, from next time I wont tell anything" She says offended.

"Ammi..Im sorry..I did not mean it in that way" Yusuf apologises.

"Its fine beta" mum says.

"Ayaat by the way do you know what happened in the mosque during nikah?" Yusuf asks me.

"Umm..No? What happened?" I ask in a hurry as I see we were nearing the marriage hall.

"When the maulvi asked Zaroon his approval for the nikah and he said yes, his eyes were red like he would just cry, well actually he did." He says.

"Oooooooo" Fiza and Aisha bhabhi naughtily make some noise, I hit Fiza with my left arm as I blush.

"Tears of joy!" Aisha bhabhi says.

"I think they were more like now who would save me tears" Yusuf says and everybody laughs.

"Ammi..see...they are irritating me" I say puffing my face as I get angry.

"Stop it you'll..are you'll going to make her cry?" Mum says.

"Ayaat really! He was so happy about it. It were tears of happiness" Yusuf says making me smile.

He cried. Zaroon cried because he was so happy to have been married to me. The thought gave me goosebums. I was now getting scared as the car stopped in front of the marriage hall. I wasn't ready to meet him atleast not with thousand people staring at me. Mum helped me get down from the car and Fiza and mum led me inside the hall.

I started breathing heavily, my legs shivered and my hands sweat, the entire time my head was tilted low and my gaze stuck to the floor.

I did not want to see anyone, I was nervous already.

"Ayaat! Dont bend so much. Lift up your head a bit" mum says softly.

"Im scared" I whisper with trembling lips.

I was feeling very uneasy, I didnt expect this to be so hard and scary. I tried to calm myself down but this 3 minute walk proved to be the hardest.

The fear and excitement and nervousness to see Zaroon as my husband and then fear of seeing so many people..or rather so many people seeing you was just scaring me.

"Ayaat! Look up." Mum says again, still breathing heavily, with alot of courage I look up.

My eyes meet the light brown eyes standing right in front of me on the stage, they were twinkling...there was..some kind of a spark within them, my gaze shifts a little lower to reach his lips.

There was a smile on them..a genuine smile showing how wide his dimples could go.

My heavy breathing slowed down and my sweaty palms were relaxing so were my shivering legs.
