Completing Half My Deen

"It's time Aisha.."My mother whispered, tears flowing down her face as my father held her.

"Amma.. please don't make me do this, don't make me marry that evil monster."

"Aisha, that is no way to talk about your future husband." My father scolded lightly, his voice cracking.

I sniffled and checked my reflection. My eyes were watery and my nose red. My mother dried my tears and kissed my forehead.

I smoothed down the material of my lehenga and my reflection did the same. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ahmad comforting an almost hysterical Naina. My brother looked up at me with tears in his eyes, he had never cried before and his tears were almost enough to make me break again.

Naina hugged me one last time, my sister-in-law was my best friend, and it pained me to think that this marriage would hurt her just as much as it would hurt me.

I glanced around the room at the people I loved and held my head up high. It was time.
