I love you neither by my heart nor by my mind I love you with my soul that will ever remain...

~RUMI~

Spouts with gentle gash of winds produced glee amongst the residence of the city...

High mountains drenched under the silver light pouring, blessing a peculiar fragrance all around ,

The vast house of shah family incorporated gleam of delight, for the upcoming ceremony as the house bustled with cheers and orders to perfect everything ..

Daniyal clinged onto the ladder,giving instructions as well assisting the workers to string the loop of golden lights in the right order

"You look like a monkey dani- come down before you break a leg,besides it may slip due to rain" Ahmad mused handing him his required demand.

"Don't flatter me, Ahmad i took the courses from you ,remember how you wanted to climb Kiran 's gallery on your wedding...And it's such a slow shower of rain " Dani feigned

"I hope Umar doesn't take such risks" Asad clamped Ahmad's shoulder who grumbled in annoyance of dani's said words

"Nah he would break the door of her room instead" dani chimed coming down earning amused glances from others

Afterall he was absolutely right

"Daud where are you going?" Asad inquired seeing him run towards the garden with a scissor in hand

"I am going to pluck roses for Areesha api's room Hina api said so" he explained

"Although I didn't find her anywhere" he added after a second

"She would be busy hero ,you just help hina and Daud take your required flowers from the tray inside, you will hurt your self "Asad warned taking the scissors away from the small boy earning his huff.

"You do know that your Areesha api is leaving with Umar" dani said earning a set of glares

"She is not leaving ,she will come back in the same house besides I will can also go in Umar bhai's room than" he shrugged running away before dani could catch him.

"Lossserrr" he cheered gazing back at dani who just stuck his tongue at him.

"I thought I was the only one who needed access to his room,with Areesha beside him life is going to get easy for me " dani smirked while other shook their head muttering "grow up dani" before they resumed their task

From old to young everyone made sure to participate for any help required and just like that began the very last day before the main event

****

Light taps and tiny tips of refined drops glided on to the window, standing behind the slight clouded glass, umar gazed at the marvelous view ahead, while his thoughts seemed to be captured solitarily by his beloved ..

He could possibly portray her smooth hairs flowing through the frosty winds, her lips mirthfully curving at the present weather, while her eyes depicting a deep story of their own...,

His sharp gaze welcomed the early morning sun with a sweet longing to shade her in his love, he sighed with a smile shaking him self from her capturing thoughts as he missed her delicate being,
for he had religiously payed a visit to her room when all slumbered, only to find her temporary confines empty ,quite irritated of her absence. He shifted opening the knocking door to a bustling house seeing one to many people with dani in the lead as his quick gaze raked through the ordered dresses and many decorations aligned with them

Daniyal smirked seeing areesha's missing picture on his wall, but deep inside he appreciated as well learned from his small gestures eyeing the present workers around

"Thought your bride ran away?" dani mocked earning a glare

her desertion had been known by them all, and by looking at umar's face, he wasn't far behind

"What is this ? "umar raised his eyebrow leaving room for his dresses to be hanged as he blocked the trays holding many decors while daniyal gave a mocking smile at the change of topic

"This my beloved brother is a way to annoy you for few hours" dani chided explaining the workers to start as Asad and bilal made their way in to help.

Umar didn't stopped them, other than their ongoing teases he was enjoying their company and efforts while he was sure to never give a hint of what he had planned .....,

Though he still wished to see Areesha's blossomed face in this weather knowing very well how much she adores it .. maybe just maybe he would get to see her in the evening as of now there were many pending things to be done.

"Mujnoo can you please bless us with your opinion" bilal called as umar threw them an annoyed look making them snicker .

****
Escalating in the land of dreams seems quite phenomenal,but it's even more enticing when you live through all that imagining the moments once again ,which sometimes, you still cerebrate it as an illusion

In every blink of her eyes there was a spark,and in every smile of hers was magic whose spell was casted by a person none other than Mr Umar who himself seemed under a deep spell of her,which by seeing him one could guess will.never end.

It was an endless love by two true hearts..

She shifted in her sleep ,with a sweet smile unconsciously etched on her radiant face , while her mother gazed her with a glint trying to keep her tears at bay
Her daughter was going to depart so far away in just few days or maybe just a day now,how empty will be there house ,after her absence and ,how void will be her heart deprived of her sweet talks.

The most difficult stage for a mother yet the happiest to

Fatima pushed back Areesha's hairs and cupped her soft cheeks as she kissed her forehead while her tears caged free from the lock of lashes.

No matter how hard she had tried to keep the events cheerful as possible never showing her sinking heart ,but maybe today is an exception knowing it's last day before ruksati.

A mother's heart is A lot more than a child's imagination...It's that wing of love where no one can reach

"Mummy?" Areesha mumbled opening her droopy eyes as she got up extremely worried to see tears in her mother's eyes

Maybe deep down Areesha did knew the reason for those tears ,and to say the least her heart clenched painfully inside peeking at the reality alongside that she is going far away ,

Without a word she hid inside her mother's embrace fearing of the realization that just caught her.

Sensing Areesha's insecurity fatima caged her tight in her loving embrace soothing her wildly beating heart with words

"You are not alone Areesha Umar is and will always be beside you he loves you my jaan and ,I.assure you he will keep you happy fatima" consoled caressing her hairs .while Areesha tightened her hold caging herself in her mother's unique fragrance

Time passed ,as mother and daughter shared a special time which contained many assurance,tears and lessons which were important for a journey she was going to start .

It wasn't a doubt that a daughter like her will try to be a best a wife fulfilling her every task with grace by the help of Allah.

While prayers of a mother will be her ever shed ...

"Mummyy please" Areesha protested silently hiding her scarlet face while granny laughed along with fatima .

Granny had joined them simultaneously in her room where Areesha had slept due to grannys wish.And now the two ladies were just teaching her some vital things

"Areesha!!" fatima scolded lightly

"Fatima beta leave my daughter, hina will Take care of everything "

There is more Areesha thought running away from them trying to cool her extremely scarlet face along the way to meet her baba while the ladies chuckled having a serine smile on their content faces

The household of shah family no doubt had a new glow today due to the union of two beloved's yet it also held a glint of sadness of their departing which all wished could stop for few more days..

It was a unique logic,happiness and sadness side by side ...

Who knew presence of Areesha and Umar in the house held a whole new level of happiness and fulfillment

On the other side in the alluring confines of umar salman sat alongside with shah ,to take the final assurance of his heart

After all a father was giving away a part of his heart where as Rayyan just gazed at him with a peculiar gaze ,never hinting any signs of friendliness they shared

"Umar" salman's grave voice which seemed painfully stiff called

Umar was clever enough to realize the situation and their sudden visit to his room, and he very well knew what to do in order to soothe a loving father so he didn't let him begin

"Uncle ,I can assure you not to worry for your daughter is now my wife and top priority ,I will try my best to fulfill every duty as a husband and keep her safe from all the dangers that could possibly harm her in any way " he covered in the most formal way while his eyes vowed many things his heart pledging her happiness.
And to say the least more than words salman was finally content as he studied umar's eyes and it.was only one thing which he murmured after...

Alhumdulilah....

Giving a manly hug he departed to see his daughter who impatiently waited in his room .

Scrutinizing Umar for a few seconds Rayyan smiled which Umar returned with a nod

"Thank you" he delivered

"Pleasure is all mine" Umar answered with a genuine smile

Seeing Rayyan depart his lips tilted proud to see the love of a brother for his sister ,for he had noticed his stiff posture and piercing gaze throughout but deep inside he knew it was just a true affection of a brother which showed care of his wife and he couldn't be more happy...

Or maybe she was special herself attracting the care of people close to her for genuinely wishing and doing best for them going beyond her comfort to do so

Shah smiled patting umar's shoulder knowing very well his son never backs out from his words no matter what the situation he May have to face .

"I have full faith in you" Umar his father complimented

"And you said I will never grow up" Umar commented mischievous in order to eradicate the sudden emotional moment

"Those are the words I still stand upon son,hope Areesha will prove me wrong, once she takes over your life" ..shah pointed making Umar raise his eyebrow in question making the man smug

"Like she already did proving my many points wrong regarding you" ..shah added

"Proud of you son" .he embraced Umar taking him offguard .

"Never take that precious blessing for granted Umar for i will take your class my self if I ever heard her complain" shah narrowed his eyes making him chuckle

How could he ever take her for granted while she had been the occupant of his each dua Umar thought while he thanked his father for accepting his certain wish which besides granny everyone had yet to know

****

As the little lines of rain poured down behind the curtained garden,Areesha's heart tipped silent tears as she layed in her fathers embrace who sat elongated on the sofa with his daughter's head on his heart ,

After long conversation and many duas they both were quiet ,hearts too heavy with feelings to convey ,while areesha slowly raked her delicate fingers in Ameera's hair who lay in her lap..

There emotions were higher than the storming waves yet quiter than a falling feather..

"I will miss you baba" areesha said after a moment , salman breathed a painfull sigh smiling in response

"Your baba will miss his beloved daughter even more" he conveyed with pure adoration ,as he lovingly patted her hairs recalling umar's words to gain peace for his caustious heart.knowing his daughter is going in safe hands.

Fatima entered the room with some wedding articles in hand only to see the trio of father and daughters peacefully conversing in light tones lost their own world, while there were thousands of pending things to finish

Amuzed by their reunion she called "Ameera? ,Salman ? why have you kept my daughter occupied while outside everyone is looking for her" Fatima tried to glare hiding her smile to see their annoyed faces

She recalled the enquiries of girls as they pleaded to send Areesha for they had much to do

"Don't disturb us Mrs salman already we have a little time left "Ameera grumbled earning a pillow from her mother at her chosen words..

"Areesha get up beta hina and the others are looking for you ,there is much to be done" she instructed as Areesha closed her eyes still in her fathers embrace

"Didn't you hear what my daughter said mrs salman leave us alone" salman ordered making her raise her eyebrow

"you are spoiling her" salman she gazed at Ameera who wore a satisfactory smile

"No, my daughters are the best" he declared

"Salman :-she started but sopped seeing Areesha's face which she hardly tried to kep straight holding her tears and that was the last thing she wanted to see, she sat at a little distance folding some heavy clothes to pack as she enjoyed their conversation

"Baba , order umar bhai beforehand that whenever we will say he will bring api to us" Ameera nodded as salman chuckled

"while I have already warned him that if he fights with areesha there will me severe concequences" she humped making them amuze, areesha emotionally smiled at her antics imagining the scenario .

"And your baba say why I worry for you" Fatima shook her head

cryptically Inside Ameera remembered her warning which she so professionally sent through a message as she wasn't able to confront him face to face

what!! It wasn't genuinely her fault that her brother in law sometimes could be well.......she wasn't afraid ofcourse .. but some personalities are better of to be handled on phone she assured with full confidence as she gazed at Areesha ,who was certainly in her own world quite to a dangerous extent..

Ameera remembered her teachings ,and advices fondly caging them with great care..For she knew how she had been secretly crying for a week now because she was going to miss her big sister a lot ..She had always been a dependant on Areesha May it be Any project or any advice for friends and school she didn't even knew what will she do without her

For she had cried in Rayyan's embrace to tell how unfair this was who in return had strictly warned her to be strong in front of Areesha after all she was the one going away from all ..

But it was Ameera alright after handling for a week she had lost her reserve the night before when Areesha was giving her a short talk and she slept in her embrace clutching her tightly as possible in granny's room ...

"Where were you madam ?" Hina glared , while Kiran and sana stood beside her in a questioning manner as soon as Areesha came out of her parents room along with Ameera.

Bewildered she raised her red puffy eyes only to connect with Umar's keen ones who was ascending stairs along with Asad .behind the feebly angry girls

Hastily averting her eyes away from him she devoted her full attention to the beings who demanded certain answers

"What api ? "She gave an apologetic smile

"I said why were you crying darling" they gathered near while she could evidently feel umar's piercing gaze from anterior

"I wasn't api I just ...She went silent not proficient on what to say and lowered her head taking a deep breath.

While Ameera gave them a little hint

Understanding her position hina patted her cheeks gently to comfort her

"Let's go inside ,we have been waiting for you since morning,we have so much planned" kiran tired to cheer her up

"We don't have popcorns ready yet Umar quit glancing at her" Asad bhai jested eradicating the sudden tension as he saw Areesha

Who couldn't guess her situation at the moment,but the best thing was to divert her attention rather than to console her it will just worsen her emotions.

But umar's gaze never wavered from her lowered head which refused to meet his ,seeing her like this had eradicated his joyful mood like storming wind

Here he thought how restless was he to to meet her,to savour her excited smile talking about her favourite weather which seemed suddenly gloomy seeing her lack of enthusiasm.

Dismissing their quirky remarks on his appearance all of a sudden to save his princess, he stepped ahead in the elongated corridor to approach her but kiran stopped him

"Oh no Mr Umar you can't ,"

"You will have to be patient for a day more at least" she orated while Umar crossed his arms .

"You can't even see my api till than !" Ameera stood in front of her blocking his view as he raised his eyebrow

"Sure" his grave voice questioned fluttering the beats of Areesha's heart

"One hundred and two percent bhai" Ameera chimed earning amused glances

"By the way I received your message" Umar narrowed his eyes as he took the final step ahead

Masking her nervousness she went behind Areesha pushing her in front

"She is all yours ,I was just kidding" she said sheepishly as all laughed while Areesha bashfuly took a step back ,seeing their sudden proximity but Umar never moved an inch

Peeking through her lashes she gave him an assuring smile to soothe his questioning eyes as he moved away after studying her for a second.His hands clutched stiff on either side .

He craved to caress those soft cheeks and pull her in his embrace ....but unfortunately their were many eyes to witness...his desires had to wait.

"I am leaving for'' now'' and make sure to prepare your popcorns for tomorrow" Umar said over his shoulder directing at Asad

"Why are you finally delaying your ruksati"he remarked

"You wish" he grumbled as Asad shook his head at his small brother

"Keep smiling" Asad patted Areesha's veild head in a brotherly way widening her tender smile

Although her heart still shyly palpitated at umar's sudden meeting sudden blush taking over her pale cheeks recalling his stubborn ways..

He had his own ways to flutter her at the most unusual times

****
My room supported a completely different aura containing many different types of beautiful heavy dresses, with many kinds of clinching bangles which enhanced their beauty by glimmering in soft pallets, many jewels which shined in the ajar velvet boxes ready to be assigned to each of the future dresses..

Even my bed had a light pink net around ,tied back at the head post adding a unique essence to the fairy lighted room.

Anyone could guess it to be a bride's room going by it's current scenery not forgetting the endless flowers bouquets which were received as a greeting from many guests ..

The light scent of their petals lingered in every corner enticing one's senses .

I sat on my bed with all the girls after coming out of a shower , fragranted with fresh lavender while Annie moisturized my long wavy hairs with soft caresses.

"How does granny make them yar ,it's splendid" Annie signed taking another whiff

"Stop irritating Areesha with your acts" Hina api chuckled feeding me a piece of strawberry as Annie breathed in again after a moment

"It isn't my fault Areesha your aroma is intoxicating" she sighed making us chuckle

"Yesterday was lilies,today lavender what's for tomorrow?" she wiggled her eyebrows making me shift as she stuck a strand fluffing my hair smoothly

"Yes,after all tomorrow is the main main day" zari api commented as I gulped the strawberry stiffly avoiding any possible eye contact

"These are all for tomorrow" api gestured towards the little aligned decorated table with pastel ribbons containing many scents and smooth creamy lotions

"Are they all rose scented" Kiran api chirped praising them while hina api nodded

"Your are such a lucky person or should I say Umar is." Kiran api gave a mischievous look as I shyed away from her look,my cheeks igniting their way to red glows

"You do know that Umar loves roses right! Areesha" she winked making me flush..

"They are specifically made at home by granny and I assure you that this rose scent lasts for a month on hairs..same goes by the lotions" she proudly displayed

"So do you mean that Umar is goi...

Turning around I clamped my hand on Annie's mouth before she could proceed making them laugh

"Don't" I warned shaking my head shyly

"Our little Areesha is shy" she cooed moving away from me as I tried to catch her

"Don't forget about the rare orchids ,but they are packed for later Areesha "

"Like on honeymoon "Annie winked

"Definitely" zari api said

"Don't embarrass me .please " I pleaded as I gazed at all of their smug faces

"Your innocence intrigues me Areesha you are such a cute girl"

"I am not innocent" I murmured as I tried to hide myself from sana who clicked non stop pictures

"To bad Umar isn't going to meet her today he would surely be blown away" Annie breathed a long sad sigh .

"Who said so , don't worry he will see her but just from afar or maybe we will give him a few nano seconds with her "

"Cunning" zari api smirked

"No, you just wait to see what is the destination of evilness by him we just have a day girls than its up to Mr Umar for if he even let's us meet her "

"He is pure evil I tell you "she remarked as I shook my head with a smile

He isn't evil he is just ......

"Areesha you will come to meet us right ?"they broke me out of my thoughts

"Promise me you will not forget me after you meet your cunning husband" Annie faked a tear bending on kness in front to take an oath as I chuckled at their banter.

"Why would he stop me Annie" I smiled.

"Tsk tsk after all what we did to Him keeping you away, I know he will take his revenge in the most evil way" sana said making me shake my head at their logics

"granny has called for a family gathering as soon as the guest leave for their arranged hotels ."

"Oh great so it means the house will be to ourselves again" Kiran sighed

"Except for few girls yes !! "

"So let's add a little touch up and enjoy our last day to tease Umar "they planned as I sighed having no permission to have a say in their plans going by their warning glares as I willed to speak something .

Hina api styled a purple dress beside me which contained shower of bronze beats from neckline till the end sided with elegant net that went all the way covering my feet .

"It will be so fun to see his reaction yet he wouldn't be able to do anything" Annie chortle as she stuffed my face with the last strawberry before I could protest

****

The high sky musttered a deep violet colour arranged with still heavy clouds from all the brizzle since morning...

Areesha wasn't able to have a glimpse of Any of her favourite drops due to the many things which demanded her undivided attention

Cladded in a graceful yet poised purple dress ,she made her way towards the main lounge where everyone waited to see the bride ,the silver in her veil catched every passing light bending to shine out making her elegantly stand out

Areesha's each move surprised her in a different way as she gazed and studied the different designs encrusted on the large halls with lightings which decorated the whole house every sight left her in awe..

Her soft hands caressed the floral decorated rims of stairs as she stepped down slowly on the thick maroon carpet with gold linings..

The net drapes flew around each corner as lamps head flickered with the evening breeze which were placed in every corner.

The view of the large house ,was indeed royal as granny wished it to be ,every hallway was lit and decorated...every curtain held either silver light shimmer or beads longing till the end which swayed a little making her smile.

The efforts each and everyone had put into making this master piece to make them happy warmed her heart with thankfulness for it was their love she studied in every artistry of the lit house

It looked magnificent ,a house hosting a royal wedding,or a house no less than a bridal dream which she still rendered as an illusion a beautiful illusion that is

Her veil hung lose as she gave a final glance to the whole house , before shyly entering the spot she was invited to ..

Elders sat in a circle on comfortable majestic sofas placed under the high chandeliers.,
Excluding the boys who had many vital stuff to finalize and have break to enjoy all night except they were having no less fun in perfecting the last minute arrangements .

"My lovely daughter" granny looked up from her cup which brewed smoke to freeze in the cold air as she proudly glanced at Areesha with love..gaining everyone's attention towards the entering girls .

Each one noticed the.bride's classical shine which brightened with her shy smile on every asked question..

While gulnaz prayed many times to blow it on her son's bride who looked more graceful in her every move and gesture.

They weren't in the acceptance to let the bride out till the wedding but after shah made arrangements for the guests in the separate hotel they couldn't resist to share a few talks with her and see her smiles before she departs away after the third day of the wedding as decided.

But maybe someone had totally different plans in mind

They made her feel comfortable as possible ,sharing their childhood talks and depicting their excited feelings for the next day which made her nervous yet shy at the same time..

They didn't let her ponder on the fact that she will be departing far away rather showed her the positive side of every aspect easing her mind

The time went by as they enjoyed the tea in cold rainy evening ,which enhanced their delight with every glance at the large ajar wooden door hearing the hums of fast gliding breeze.

Areesha couldn't hold her frantic glee knowing about her favorite weather ,so the girls decided to have a chat in the garden inside the luxury shed which was planted just few hours ago ...

And it wasn't their plan but the boys had called them instead informing them about their arrival

With few of other family girls they took Areesha outside in the lustrous lit garden

Although their desire was to keep Areesha and Umar away yet they couldn't wait to savour their last night before the wedding making sure to keep them apart through a teasing distance

The evening breeze rattled the leaves ,blowing the strings or two of umar's hair as he suddenly heard the chatter and clinks of the arriving company..

He resumed his work on laptop as well the talk with Asad while making sure to receive Areesha with His awaiting gaze as soon as she comes

He had longed for it since a day now and last encounter wasn't what he wished for ,her tears had some unique method of twisting his feelings and mood along side.

The giggles grew louder as he looked above his laptop ,his peculiar gaze striking at only one being ,

Every time ....Every time she comes with a new ability to shade him beneath her powerful spell ...

"Welcomee our special bride "dani's voice boomed around disturbing the home going birds

"Areesha is here" bilal greeted enjoying the smile on his baby brother's stubborn yet handsome face.as he thought about the rules girls made for them

"I hope my dear wife isn't giving you a tough time with her team" Asad inquired seeing a polite smile on her face as he shifted from side to make place for Areesha but hina gestured him making the bride sit opposite of them .

"Coughs now that's called serious zulm" bilal pointed.

"No that's called going by the rules" Kiran answered

"Someone is in a daze" Asad commented looking at Umar

"You are right quit looking at hina bhabhi" Umar smirked making them snicker at Asad

"You know who I meant though" he answered while Hina threw her husband a knowing smile making him avert his eyes in embarrassment

While Umar chose not to comment seeing their exchange already irritated by their so called rules

He did averted his gaze from Areesha more sooner than he would have liked not desiring to give them a chance to tease .
While his complain was along with Areesha who never looked at him and a little shy sneak which she did dared to take was nothing in umar's dictionary

Aside from that he did agreed that her attire complimented her a lot ,she looked simply stunning ,especially with those shy orbs which were enough to pull the strings of his heart which he never thought could sway...

A beauty under the canopy of stars or should he say his beauty....

"To be honest is it a miracle that Umar actually acted upon our rules and didn't met Areesha I mean it's almost a week " Asad articulated

"Not even tantrums Umar !! That is the one thing to salute "

"May be or is there something fishy" daniyaI looked at Umar who had a smug face

"Nothing is fishy Dani Areesha wouldn't think of breaking rules, how will she actually do it" .hina api sided while Areesha tried her best to not meets Umar gaze my cheecks turning red.

"Right!! Areesha aren't rules great !"dani persuaded while she nodded feebly recalling the days as their wasn't one on which they didn't met

"ofcourse rules are awesome and for a purpose" Umar said directing his gaze at Areesha who silently gulped heat visibly creeping on her cheeks

"You are paired up with a wrong person I tell you..He is to far clever for you" dani chuckled

"And now he is casting evil eyes on me with His sharp gaze" he fretted

"You are leaving our bachelor's gang tomorrow how do you feel.how will you survive" he changed the topic cheering the environment.

"I will be perfectly fine daniyal shah don't worry "

"Yup he will.be more than just fine" a girl whispered setting beside Areesha making her flush

"How are the preparations going on! ,is everything ready?" bilal got serious

Coming on the main note the girls started explaining what was to be done and what had been perfected while Umar sneaked long glances at his bride , her eyes anywhere but him which of course in return irritated him alot

Just you wait Areesha darling....

Areesha fiddled with her fingers as she answered some of the girls questions secretly sensing someone's continuous hard gaze, painfully slow her eyes found his which he held never letting it waver, due to the intensity in those powerful orbs

Their eyes talked while their lips were sealed ,they both concealed the longing of their hearts as they dove in the splash of waves formed in the love filled eyes of another.

Her lose veil flattered a bit demanding to precise her orbs for a second , Umar took a deep breath as he sent her a message of his heart through his own dominant way

Dani smiled as he caught umar's eyes

"Can't live without her for few hours I must say you have finally lost the battle now, she rules brother" Ahmad whispered to Umar

"Make sure to see an ophthalmologist Ahmad I am positive, you have a weak eye sight" Umar cleaned cleverly

" You are just to stubborn aren't you" Ahmad replied giving his shoulder a friendly punch ,as Umar brew a side smile

It was family time where they teamed and laughed each one of their hearts bloomed with happiness as they sat outside in the elegantly lit garden

They blatantly made Areesha and Umar take part in every conversation ,as they discussed the ways of making their heroic entry alongside teasing the girls to experience their charm for what they had in mind

"So ,Umar what are your plans for future ,I mean four marriages are allowed in Islam isn't it "dani shrugged snatching away some smiles especially Areesha's

Everyone tentatively waited for an answer amidst the sudden quiteness

"Hmm you are right ,maybe let's see" Umar replied calm ,Areesha's head shot up at his reply as her questioning gaze met his serious once .

And here someone was ignoring me throughout Umar thought smugly

"Umar you are not serious right take that back" hina immediately argued but he shook his head.

"What's wrong in marrying another" Asad pointed earning a hard cushion in reply

"Exactly I didn't stated anything wrong I mean we should be practical anything could happen in life" he replied confident as Areesha's surprised resolve broke

,averting her eyes from him she tried to calm her wildly beating heart as she blinked her tears away only one name in her mind ''eshal''

Her annoyance towards his reply was apparent as he smirked looking at her

"Besides if a man is capable of supporting two women's than why not"

"Why Areesha don't you agree" he asked.

Her steady silence gave the answer ,but he stubbornly awaited for a loud response

"No," she answered after a minute amusing everyone ,but she never looked at him

"So you mean that you will.never give him the permission to marry another, poor guy" dani said as he smiled smug at her hard glare.

"I see,than there is a problem" he stroked his stuble ,just the thought of another women near him shattered her from inside igniting the non existent fire

"What will you do now ?" Daniyal dramatically asked Umar patting his shoulder while he just chuckled shaking his head

"Stop it daniyal before my Areesha gets angry . You have already put me in enough trouble " his confidently rich voice did no good to her heart but she stayed inflexible not moving an inch

"Clear it than Mr umar" kiran ordered as Umar sent her a rather mischievous wink to clear away the fog in her complaining eyes

"I was just kidding, my soul mate is just one ,leaving no capacity to even think about another ." ,his lips tilted at her lowered gaze ,as he caught the glimpse of  red sprinkles glowing her face as daniyal whistled loud the area erupting  with teasing awws

It was the first time he openly confessed something relating to her ,even though a little but he did leaving everyone one in awe and Areesha in smile

A certain girl is enough for me in this world and the next which is yet to come he thought raving his hands through his thick hair..

It wasn't just a passing thought but also a  silent vow

Her gaze met his making him lucky enough to witness her shy smile ,while her light orbs shined with sparkles of love which only he could locate under the curtain of shyness.

That moment was truly there's as they conveyed the promises without using words...their dreams escalating with equal passion connecting their future.

There was just shower of love in both of their eyes..

As many hearts present in the room prayed for the same love she was blessed with....while her heart was just busy thanking the Lord for His endless blessings

"I love you" was a whisper that only her ears caught admist the sea of people as he lowered his head never hiding his smile

While his heart prayed for her smiles to.never end...

Could a love like this be found .....many hearts questioned to which the answer is only one..

To seekers there are many treasures for if you want a thing, start giving it to others and your's shall be revealed

"I am sure I will  get atleast 100 proposals for marriage" dani feigned sudden keeping his head on the headrest as he did so making Amira snort

"Sure ! Whatever let's you sleep at night, but may i add that girls now a days seems to have a really generous taste especially when it comes to their future spouse" Ameera said taking everyone ofguard.

Bilal burst in laughter "daniyal you got a match ,well done !Ameera " everyone joined making him narrow his eyes

"It's not my fault everyone is jealous of my handsomeness ..especially someone whose name starts with an  A" he said hautily

"Stop acting like a kid" hina api patted his shoulder while Ameera supported a satisfactory smile

"Except my beloved Areesha, no one really cares for me you know" he stuck his tongue at Umar sprinting away to answer his father's call

"You will pay for that Mr daniyaI hassan shah" umar's grave voice echoed

"My last wish was to climb mount Everest you can kill me after that" came his fading voice making everyone shake their head at him.Even Umar supported a faint smile seeing Areesha's amused one 

"Come on boys let's line up the cars so it will be easy tomorrow"

"Umar you stay here we will be right back" Asad bhai gestured seeing him stand

"Sure" Umar murmured answering his beeping call while he worked along, on his laptop

Soon after gulnaz joined along with fatima and their granny talking along as the boys departed greeting them while their gaze raked at Umar who currently seemed to be in his own world typing away furiously with a phone attached to his ear.not willing to disturb him they sat near the girls catching their talks

Here and there Umar would certainly bless Areesha with a glance or two seeing her talk   with others,her voice being overly hush .

Granny praised the colour of henna on her hands as she went about with her soft skin and many things regarding the next day.

The innocent bride was dragged into a conversation purposely but she just gave an answer or two resuming the blanket of her silence which just made her more important and very capturing In someone's eyes.

Umar wrapped up the call sighing content as he wrote the last words of his report before closing the laptop and eyeing the commotion with a curious gaze.

"Shukar hai" granny smiled directing at Umar and went to sit beside, kissing his forehead fondly ,she better knew not to irritate him while on call.
She just didn't wanted to distract him knowing he doesn't takes it to well.

Giving a polite smile he asked about the commotion gazing at his mother who held Areesha's delicate hand, fondly caressing it while the bride shook her head furiously making gul naz chuckle

"Oh well! Umar we are persuading gul naz aunty to narrate us that memory she promised after nikkah and now she is so in love with her daughter in law that she won't tell "Annie complained

Umar's lips tilted in a side smile as he questioned about it .

"Yeah come on Umar bhai please tell phuphee" Ameera whined.as his sharp gaze travelled towards Areesha who looked anywhere but him.

"I will not say a single word until my daughter approves" phuphee squeezed her hand in assurance.making the fragile doll smile snatching umar's patience  thread by thread.

"Not even if I say so mother" Umar asked making the girls squeal in approval while Areesha's gaze abruptly met his,her heart stilled at his sudden words

While he smirked seeing her complaining gaze

"Did I tell you! how awesome you are" kiran praised while Umar sent a smug smile towards his lady

"Come on Areesha they all want to know infact there are only girls" fatima spoke

"Yeah we promise nothing will go out" hina assured

"No" Areesha said in a murmur making granny laugh as she turned beetroot

"Come on" they whinedd.

Umar was curious not able to recall such  memory that could take such a toll on his wife

"Okay we will just say half of it now gulnaz can't break her promise can she my sweetheart" granny confirmed as everyone keenly turned towards her

While Umar studied Areesha, who squirmed uneasy ,catching her gaze he sure warned her of something in return of her ignorance as she bit her lip focusing on her hands.

"To me it has always been a very cherished memory of them, it was of time when they were quite small Areesha barely 3 and Umar 6.as we all know  he  still gets really irritated  with kids so you can imagine how he would be before"

"He would either play in my room if the we had guests along with company of small children ,while moving  away his special toys, giving them the rest to play.and would never let me hold any child no matter how much we tried to explain."

"He is after all your favourite person granny how could he compensate anyone" hina winked

"Don't intrude "Annie whined ushering granny to go ahead.

Granny looked at Areesha with a soft smile and started again.

"Areesha was one with a certain exception though "they all coughed in mischief having absolutely no affect on Umar but opposite if looked at Areesha

"Every time he used to usher me to bring her in my room so he could play with her promising to give his favourite toys to her if I complied.

"How could I say no to him, I used to place her in the middle of the bed ,while he set the pillows all around to prevent her from falling."

"Awwwwww" they cheered provoking his annoyance while gul naz shushed them with a glare.

"Umar used to specifically join her with his sports cars and would kiss her cheeks every now and than as we know Areesha was a chubby baby back than she used to resemble a cute snowball ."granny chuckled making everyone erupt in giggles as Areesha hid her face embarrassed while umar's reaction was unable to be read.

"At first she didn't noticed to engrossed in his shiny cars but slowly when she did with great frustration she threw his favourite car away ."

"But he didn't seemed to mind because he kissed her again before jumping of the bed to take his car while she hurriedly crawled inside my embrace hiding behind my veil."

"On.being asked our baby Umar said what can I do granny I love her chubby cheeks" she finished with a laugh

Umar's ears tinged pink while he gave no reaction as the girls squealed looking his way..

"They were truly made for each other" Annie sighed while Areesha hid under the blanket of embarrassment

"OH MY ALLAH "Ameera gasped

"You were such a romantic person Umar" hina teased he rolled his eyes getting up as he made his way towards the house .

"Chubby cheeks huh I see how you captured my baby brother in your charm since childhood" Kiran api teased as Areesha coughed sprinting inside hearing their loud laughter

Areesha's heels clicked as she made her way inside fast as possible from the opposite side to avoid anyone but she was softly yanked , a feverent squeal leaving her parted lips but it was directly sealed by a large warm hand ...

Umar's sharp gaze bore into her soft one's as they stood face to face in the corner of a decorated gallery ....stopping her beating heart

Sliding his hands behind her head he closed the lights ,she clutched his hands tight never wavering her uncertain gaze

Slowly he glided his hands down from her lips feeling the softness of them under his palm as his gazed raked through every feature of her face settling on her eyes...

Her heart beat was wild ,veil was discarded breaths were harsh as she stood in the embrace of Umar

The fairy lights from outside glimpsed their ways inside through slight part Windows,the gold lights of lamps shaded them beneath while fresh breeze of rain roamed around them making Areesha's hair flutter .

The gallery beside them enjoyed the bliss of t fresh air coming straight from iced mountains seen from the lighted gallery.

Umar caressed her pearl cheeks which seemed to be dusted by red soft powder thanks to her recent experience

She sucked in her breath as his cold lips landed on her cheecks ....her heart hammered due to the closeness they shared, his lips lingered for a minute or two or maybe much longer as the lamp shades covered their moment in their hush lights .

He backed away just a little and captured her in his soothing embrace as she closed her eyes feeling his beats of hearts alongwith trying to calm hers

He breathed in her lavender scent tightening his hold ,but slowly moved away due to the hustle which started to get louder from outside warning them

"Do not cry tomorrow" he warned yet ordered savoring her warm eyes..

Opening her clucthched hands with gentleness he placed something and giving a last kiss to her scarlet cheeck he moved away vanishing in the large hall way

Areesha stood there still dazed as she finally breathed turning deep shades of red at his quite very bold moves..And turned towards the window to cool her heated cheeks

"You are just so unpredictable Umar "she murmured clutching the small box in her hands..

The layers above her deep feelings was slowly perishing due to his heartwarming gestures..

Her lips curled into a deep smile , she now stood in her room just beside the window as her hands unveiled the box given by Umar.

Her eyes roamed through the words engraved in a small letter..

"Just one moon away dear beloved.."

She bit her lip reading his written words softly caressing the letters her heart thundering a million beats as she imagined his grave voice orating it loud.

Keeping it aside her gaze caught a glimpse of a sparkling jewel that sat with eloquent pride glimmering in the essence of love ..

It was ring...beaded with a moonstone

"Just think about me .....only me ;-)"

Areesha softly chuckled at the words embedded inside the box

"Oh Umar!! You are no good for my poor heart.."Areesha thought sliding the ring through her finger as it shined with the love of a giver ..

And soon came Ameera to join her and lay asleep in her sisters arms as they both conversed in hush tones.with longing hearts as the big sister taught her baby sister many lessons and Ameera embraced her tightly never wanting to let go

****

After a long interval of painful time Amir with his gentlemanly grace entered shah house , a girl right beside him ,with humaira holding her hand smiling at everyone their to attend them in a special wedding house past midnight while the remaining slumbered

The elders greeted them with utmost love and respect keeping aside their curiosity of a beautiful mysterious girl that resided next to Amir never moving an inch away

"This is my daughter in law falaq" humaira paused ushering her near.dropping a sudden shocking news

"MA shaa ALLAH what a wonderful surprise humaira" granny embraced the girl with prayers as everyone follow coming out of their bubble.while Amir supported a faint genuine smile

When? It was a question which circulated in everyone's mind while they suppressed it due to the many reasons than one

"Come my dear you all must be tired ,from a long travel".fatima ushered them inside with love .

Amir's gaze roamed the house to see a particular face,who seemed to be the queen of the house and probably many hearts to .

A hesitant tug scattered his thoughts bringing it back to a girl he now calls wife .

"They are so many people Amir you said it's only one family" falaq whispered in her soft tone

"They won't eat you dear!" he answered amused as someone took her for yet another hug making him silently chuckle.

His life.....to him it was a ride that suddenly took a turn halting just beside his destination..

Yes he was content...,

Yet... his heart was just a little uneasy and it started all by entering the house

A house where a princess lived under her shade of innocence..

He remembered his heart being in the ocean of sorrow,he still felt the colours fading away, he could recall his long nights all of it was painfully real untill this girl came along ..

She was his beautiful healer ....

He glanced at her as she conversed politely with others and smiled a true smile that came straight from a heart..

He recalled how marrying someone was the last thing in his mind when his mom suggested this girl , a faraway relative to be precise .

At first he blatantly rejected the idea itself, but on continuous insistence of his mother he did noticed the care filled nature of her which started from her younger ones to her elders ,her politeness yet a little stubborn and jolly nature which she only revealed in private

He being the witness of it when one day early morning he saw her near the lake after fajr with joyfull children's on a small boat while she acted as their caption forgetting her fervent nature in front of people, he had actually laughed seeing her leading the children's from one end to another as they obeyed their caption reciting the last four surahs in a loud voice.
But on that day something actually moved inside of him, it felt like a missing puzzle inside his heart was waiting for her ..., hastily shredding the thought away he had went inside never coming out at that time for days

But as they say fate has already been planned ,
on the last week of their stay ,his mother when requested him for the last time he wasn't able to deny ...after thinking for eternity he thought of doing istikhara .

And was spellbound when he saw her actually replacing Areesha's being with her in his dream under the twinkling stars and splashing waves which soothed his heart seeing her fly carefree in a bright pearl white dress taking him along on her journey.

This was the way .his heart warned while his mind restricted..

Approaching her on the very next day he politely yet confidently poured his words in the most simplest form telling her about his mother's intentions and his past life including a bruised heart, he couldn't think of starting a life with a lie and he would be the last person to destroy anyone's future ..

Surprisingly she did knew about the proposal ...And after whispering her insecurities which Amir promised otherwise she became his healer ..

A spiritual healer ,where only special ones can reach.

She didn't backed out after that ,she stepped ahead not only accepting him as he is but also showing him the attraction of true love that he immediately gave a positive consent when they suggested a simple Nikkah pending the function for later as soon as her father recovers who was a little ill.

And when they were supposed to be in murree for the wedding he couldn't think of leaving her behind ...somewhere in their late evening walks and morning prayers which they shared together .He grew attached to her being and so he asked permission to have her beside him untill they return to decide the date of the function..

He could proudly say he is one of the luckiest man to have her beside.

Areesha wasn't easy to forget though she has her own shine which could never dim...But he was able to locate difference between just love and true love ....

And now when he had experienced it he knows he can live without Areesha but not without his falaq.although the high respect in his heart for Areesha will.never get low .

She deserved it ..She Totally did.

And in all the chaos of his life he very well knew why he lost her from Umar ..
Aside from that she wasn't in his fate there were another reasons or maybe his mistakes.

At one time he was to.confident and proud when it came to Umar he knew Umar would never stand a chance against him because Areesha's nature would never allow him

And he was sure Areesha is more comfortable around him , didn't bothered to be threatened regarding Umar but here was the point where he went wrong .

And his little pride for himself took her away so far away to the place she would never return..

While Umar tried more to mould him according to her ...Amir was standing with pride knowing Areesha will choose her for he was perfect for her..

But as they say we all make mistakes ,and the best people are the ones who repent when they acknowledge their sins.

And falaq was the proof of his good heart for she was one beautiful gift of Allah ..

Her heart was blessed with the pure words of quran.

She was hafiz ul quran with a beautiful face and soul ...

Allah always plans for the best...

For high above the sky our sincere whispers mould our fate in the most precious of ways ..

Just believe...

"Oh ALLAH" falaq lightly squealed as Amir caught her just in time saving her from a brutal fall.

Now when they were finally in their room getting ready for bed, Amir was greeted with a squealing wife as soon as he came out after a shower.

"I missed you to" Amir hid his smile seeing her still in daze of the little shock.

"I would have been fine you know" she adjusted herself rather prompt.

"On  floor ms falaq?" He questioned with a smirk.

"That's not funny" she delicately protested gazing in his eyes ...

AND that's how the battle was lost  a small curve etched on both of their faces...

Amir joined his forehead with her bringing her close.his form warming up her chilled breaths.

" It wouldn't had been a better surprise other than that ,after an exhausting day ...ms falaq you complete me" ...He accepted taking her off guard as the little shiny specks of silver shimmerd in her honey brown eyes..

"Oh Amir" she hugged him close as their jumbled nerves soothed after an hectic day...

He was her hero ,whose being was much more than she ever dreamt of ,the care in his ways and polietness in his speech ,every single time melts her from inside .

Could she love a person that much ..She thought.

May be if the person is him love has no limits she was totally in love with her husband

And Amir just knew it she was his home and he couldn't be more happy.

All thanks to the Almighty high above ,if he takes something that's not meant to.Be yours He gives you much more in return

They peacefully slept close under the high frosted sky ...Her lips murmured the verses of quran slowly to cover them both in His blessings

THe held her closer when her lips whiffed on him with a serene smile .

"You are amazing falaq" he mumbled in his sleep

"Oh that I totally know"she whispered making him lazily chuckle half asleep earning her delicate kiss.

High dreams were caught..,years of prayers were to be answered the day which was most awaited in someone's life had truly begun with a new shine designed with the artistry of love..

Areesha will be right beside him throughout the journey of their life which had begun from now and will last till jannah..

He was happy,she was nervous ,he felt content ,her feelings were a mixture of happiness along with sadness ,he couldn't wait while she was tangled in her own variant emotions ,which seemed indescribable...

The time lapse had begun everything to her seemed rather blur....

There came a moment ,where she wanted to run away from everything....But than it was overlapped with the reminder of his love which sparkled in his eyes for her

It was void filled with the promise of future..

It was the feeling of a daughter who was finally going to be away so far away.

At least she has some.days here right ...Areesha thought gazing at her reflection ..a girl sitting in front of the mirror ,her feelings  jittery ,hairs  elegantly designed with her form perfumed by pure roses...scared for something she wasn't even able to depict ...

The day for them went by a blur with arrangements of the main event ..

Chirps were all around of happiness,and love

"My bride you look ....well I would rather leave that space for Umar to fill" kiran teased seeing Areesha's blush darkening with their small talks here and there.

"We made sure your dress doesn't have a zip "Annie winked making her toes curl

"But the hook may take assistance it's quite above you know" Kiran smiled

"Stop don't you tease my beautiful bride" hina scolded

Her heavy royal red dress was firmly fitted on her form ,shining with its elegance as it attracted the spectators from all around ..

Everything was done ,the bride was almost ready only few minutes were left for them to leave for their assigned destination

The whole house fully lit with cheers of everyone all around ,at some point there were laughters ,while on the hand were instructions .everyone was happy participating in any task available to help
Each corner held a bouquet of happiness,every inch sparkled with lights..While they all collaborated to present a beautiful scene

"I know I am not allowed but can you please pass me the packed suit case I have to deliver it somewhere on time" dani grumbled from outside the door .Areeesha's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as the girls coughed covering it up and hina  hastily gave him the bag..

"Can't I At least take a peak?" came his voice

"Do have any sharam dani "hina scolded

"No I don't!, now can I see her? "he asked as she closed the door with a chuckle

"You can't be unjust after what he did to us I hate himmm" he whined from outside moving away.

"What happened?" I asked as Annie sighed

"Your husband !"! she sighed as I looked at her in confusion

"You all leave we have ton of things to finalize Hina api directed shooing then away and they left throwing a tantrum about how unjust of Umar it is .except for kiran api who assisted me with the bangles

"Api,? "Before I.could complete it further she touched my shoulder with a smile..

"Areesha you will leave to your new house after ruksati ,Umar kept it a surprise from everyone And revealed it just today so they aren't taking it well.."

"What do you mean?"I asked shocked taking moving my hands away from kiran apis hand

"He has his own house dear and you both will go there and maybe if Umar plans you will visit us the next morning at breakfast before your walima."kiran api explained taking my hand back softly

Alone in the other house 

"But that wasn't planned api "

"That was a surprise and you can see how everyone is taking but your husband played very smart "

"And romantic!!" kiran api added

My eyes lowered ,.mind in complete chaos..

It was already hard letting go ,knowing I would be away after 2 days ..but this ...I gulped as they teased of how secretive he really is..

"You are lucky Areesha it's his love " she closed the heavy necklace with a smile

In the light glow of setting sun,the city emerged with different Florences which illuminated all of the city as well the houses..

A complete ready bride stood In front of the large silver mirror depicting the thin line of self control she was standing upon..While the mirror admired her beauty rare beauty

Her heavy red dress elegantly danced till down her feet ,the shiny beads and pretty jewels shone with a new light...While her veil encompassed every details of beauty making her stand out on her very special day..

Areesha gulped once again recalling hina's words...Her hands shivering due to an unknown fright while her pure red lips pursed and opened to blow out fervent breaths..

All of their endless compliments doing nothing to boost her confidence and when now she was finally left alone just for few minutes it went worse

Before she could indulge more into the new surprise which Umar graciously granted her on the very last day leaving her helpless a loud knock emerged and the door opened making her gradually turn around..

"Rayyan?" Areesha's longed voice reached his ears , her eyes filled with emotions of farewell as he closed the door stepping towards her sister.

For a moment he to was awe struck seeing his sister or maybe it was the day of her rukhsati which made her look so special ..

"You look good ari" he nodded complimenting her attire.

Her thick lashes lowered at his words while she stepped ahead embracing her brother

"I am glad you came to see me ray I am so glad "she whispered.While Rayyan gulped down his own emotions

"I will always be there for you Areesha just never be afraid of anyone, I will take care of everything you just have to name it, please don't keep it inside and speak to me I will always be right behind you always Areesha! promise" he vowed while Areesha hicupped still in her brothers embrace

"You are the bestest brother ray" Areesha smiled moving away

"Just waiting for the certificate" he joked making her chuckle between her tears.

"If I ruin your makeup Areesha your body guards are going to kill me" He wiped away the tears making her laugh.

"You are my inspiration and now that you are leaving I want to you to know that you were the person I have always looked upon to become successful, and your ways have always helped me big sister "he smiled kissing her forehead for the first time as he left within a second giving her no chance to speak but stay in her daze for as long as she could...

****

The chandeliers were lit , flowers were encrusted in a welcoming artistry....The globe's of variant lights  glowing and the hall was set up for the most special union..

The fairy lights travelled all around the roof top...The plush golden floor was decorated with an iranian red carpet to welcome the bride and groom...

The tables for the guests were set on either sides with candles brightening their hearts..

The soft glow of rose red bulbs with sky blue hues and gold shade shadowed the magnificent stage ..on which a royal Persian sofa was placed decorated with beats of jewels and background of lighted flowers ....

Everything in the humageous hall was perfected to witness the blessed ceremony...relating to the union of two hearts..

And with that popped the first guest mr daniyal with few other cousins to see the settings for only an hour was left for it to begin ..

He scrutinized every detail instructing some waiters for the main event...

His eyes travelled all around but was stuck at a particular person with rather an amuze thought.

"Hey Ameera what are you doing admits the balloons" he asked raising his eyebrow as he saw the bunch on either of her hands ..

"I want these at the entrance dani ! Help me hang them "

"Nope never Ameera get serious it's not a birthday party give them to some kids" he denied rather serious.

"For your information Mr daniyal shah they are colour coordinated and than its my sister's wedding I will do whatever I want" she huffed trying to settle the flying balloons which kept sticking with her hair.

"You don't have to be so precise lady I was just testing you , and by the way for your information its my brother's wedding as well ".He took more than half a bunch going towards the entrance with her following behind

"You test my patience every time dani" she feigned making him shake his head.

"Like you have the thing called patience,.by the way what came in your precious minuscule mind that you decided to order these" he pointed at them.

"My mind isn't minuscule Dani stop teasing me" Ameera hit him with her bunch making him scowl.

"Why did you had to tag along with us didn't you need an hour to get ready or so?."He glanced at her attire his heart complimenting it a little much

"I am ready I just need to to fresh it up when I go to take api ..danii no! to the left yarr ,yes hang them there ,just perfect" she instructed until it was just the way she wanted..

"There madam! now where is my thanks" he sighed after a good few minutes of perfecting them.

"I could've done it myself you just insisted to much for help "she stuck her tongue at him going away her dress flowing away as she did while he smiled at her antics

"Your most welcome madam" he shouted from behind making her laugh..

Her heart was fervent....The beats were lowered preparing to face her high profile husband

The light gold shade of her eyes complimented her the most , ...Her inner felt happy with sadness by side it was just like a feather weighing a ton..

Her veil flattered with the small breeze which touched her lashes making them hazed.

she took in a deep breath not once looking at her baba who had kissed her forehead the first when he saw her, murmuring MA shaa ALLAH as he held her with much delicacy ,while her other side was shielded with Rayyan as were ready to go through the royal private yet decorated hall of brides ..

The lights went dim...The hall echoed silence in excitement to see the bride ...

Umar's eyes like a hawk stayed still at one particular special door..

His heart has waited for years...His soul had been patient for eternity for his beloved took much more time to infold in his love..

His looks today deceived many as it already did every time but today his expressions were different and the smile which was rare to others was broad ..

His black thick sherwani with gold threads of design depicted to be the attire made just for him..

It wouldn't be wrong if he were compared to some Prince because he passed all of its categories and even more with those dazzling lit eyes which desperately waited for a special someone..

While his mother couldn't take her eyes of him with sparks of water every now and than that's how happy she was..And his granny taking all the evil eyes away from him by blowing certain special verses..

"Ahemm ahem someone is the centre of attraction today, ..move aside let the people see me too" Dani sat beside the groom making Umar tilt his head.

"Get your useless self off beside me dani "

"Tsk tsk he will little brother if you get your precious eyes off that particular door "ASad clamped his shoulder with a whisper

Umar's gaze swept abrupt at their sudden mention as he cleared his throat .making his fellows a little more.smug..

"So.Umar what will you give us to unlock the beautiful door that leads to your bride" hina winked..

"We wouldn't settle for less nor should it be Any jock it's the matter of your lifetime now" Kiran said.

"First bring my wife than demand!" he answered rather precise answering the stretch hand of someone's greetings..

"No Umar, this is our time if you want to have her! delay your holidays for just 2 days please" Annie whined while his gaze shot up at her...

"I get it you look rather handsome but don't give those killer looks Umar I only asked for two days come on .."

"You don't even know how to demand , Umar sign the blank check and your cancellation of tickets we are good " dani smirked making everyone amused at his cleverness..

"What are you all doing ?" Granny scolded coming up on stage .

"Leave him alone their are people wanting to meet him set aside "

"And it's time to bring the bride come on ladies go on .".

"Umar last chance do you or do you n it want to see your precious wife."

"Half day I will give you with her just a day after marriage" he promised making them smile while his attention was caught with one of his friends..

"You all are still here !!"granny glared as they ran away with a laugh

"And Annie reveal the curtains" umar's stern voice made the girls giggle ...

"Oh sure Mr possessive" ,they murmured..

"And handsome" hina winked

The gates were finally opened...The wait was nearly over the feelings seemed to bundle with once non existent emotions as the bride kept her first step out of the door...taking him and the others off guard ....by her glowing personality

Apart from her heavy veil she was shielded by the red net veil elegantly away from his curious yet awaiting gaze.

The cousins passed each other victorious smile seeing umar's un readable expressions..

The lights went dim ...Almost a hue to pink shimmer
He gazed at his fragile doll.claded in a heavy red dress with silver and golden designs and beats which sparkled as she came.near him.

She was more than a princess inching slowly his way her dress fluttering with jewels of union..His beats of heart were a little over normal with the blend of happiness and contentment and he never let her away from his sharp gaze..

She could feel his piercing eyes on her lowered gaze with rays of pure affection

..The drums in her heart were loud enough to be heard in her ears her baba and Rayyan being her shield from all the curious glances..

The chandelier changed colours on every small step she took a new..

The thick carpet below her sank slight with her golden heels..

Her feelings were frenzy ,as a light wedding nasheed echoed around the hall in a low voice ...

The way seemed far yet very near her long lashes beginning to dip in frantic pause..as she realized she was just a step away from the stage..

Granny was more than overjoyed she couldn't wait to see them beside each other already ,Areesha was truly a queen and her beloved son a pure king..

Gulnaz had tears of happiness in her eyes seeing the contentment on umar's face ...oh how long she has awaited for this day her heart swelled with pride seeing her daughter in law ..

A huge chorus bought every family member out of the bubble they so softly unfolded themselves seeing their favourite persons unite..

And than they noticed what was the cheers all about Umar himself had stood up with a confident stance making his way to front of the stage to welcome his bride melting the hearts of many seeing such a gentleman pose...

MA shaa ALLAH some whispered...

Her lips were pursed with frenzy nerves as she noticed him getting closer..

They stood in front of the stage a step away from each other ...Her eyes lowered behind the veil while his soley on hers even with her beauteous guard...

Dani whistled while the others cheered as Umar brought his hand in front to help her climb the decorated stair ...

Her shy stance could not move ahead neither back ,while her mind was clouded with many thoughts ..

Salman gently held Areesha's visibly trembling hand and kept it on umar's extended ones which he carefully clutched giving them warmth and squeezed with affection to ease her being. never letting go and softly helped her up with all the care in the world..

The spectators appreciated the union by blessing the couple with many loud prayers ..And the voice of nasheed grew louder blending the perfect moment ..

Areesha could feel the warmth his hands provided and the little tug which warmed her cheeks and now she was face to face with her beloved but she never lifted her eyes...While he smiled clutching her hands close.

"Can I be blessed with your glance love I promise I look handsome enough for you" he whispered from front as her lips tilted a little  and with ever slow pace her eyes raised from behind the veil meeting his awaiting ones...but in a second lowered it again with an appreciative smile.

A few seconds and the stage was circled by their family making them sit beside each other

Their couple complimented each other such that everyone who saw wished for the same without a change

They looked purely made for each other and how could they not after all they truly were..by the most High many years

"You look dashing Umar" ,zari saw for the first time ,"Areesha here was asking me for a picture inside but I couldn't come out ..well Areesha you can now see your groom the longest you want" she said mischievous chuckling when Areesha's head shot up in a surprise while Umar smirked tilting his head towards her..knowing very well she would never say such a thing.but her flushed face was a sight to see and he wouldn't mind to tease a little more.

"If you were so eager to see me wife I was just a call away" he murmured smiling at someone yet her uneasy squirm made him even more delighted..And he intertwined their fingers with love

"When can we remove her veil" ,hina asked phuphee sitting at.a side chair .

"I will.do it "granny came up and with a murmur of Bismillah the.veil was lifted leaving Mr Umar awestruck not just by her beauty or the glow she was blessed with today but also by her shyness and simplicity.

He didn't said anything and moved his gaze saving his compliments for later..but made sure she sat close to him as decently possible

With everyone praising her and complimenting him they were huddled with many people around.And the last ceremony before their union began with full swing ...

Each of the guest desired to sit beside the couple and personally extend their greetings but not everyone got the chance with so many people and it was impossible for everyone to reach them as it was restricted after many bundles and the food was served...busying the people and diverting their attention..

"Areesha that's okay if you don't eat properly I will take care of it myself when you will.be with me" umar's voice rang in her ears making her heart do a somersault.as she tried to pull away her hand which he gripped even tighter...

While with satisfaction he served her the food while hina and Annie made sure they are comfortable for a while and left them alone...opening the curtains for their privacy hiding them away from everyone..

In the seclusion her gaze for the first time met his when he called her name ..

He was close to drown in those orbs when their cousins popped inside making her move her gaze away in a sprint.While Umar sat relax knowing it was the last day they could do whatever they want he will not let her away ever after it..

"You know it wasn't a good plan to take her away just now we weren't even prepared" Annie sulked looking at Umar.

"Most things happens in life unexpected we should always be prepared "Umar answered..

"Now it makes sense of what you said before about the last day it isn't a good revenge I tell you that's just unfair we had so much planned for the night" Dani grumbled making him smirk..

"And all the elders including hina api was with you ..that's such an unjust act."Ameera whined.

"And my thanks to them especially" hina Umar smiled smug

"Of course I had to let him be in peace for i knew what you all had planned my little brother needs time of his own .."

"He was going after two days apii than whyyy" they complained

"Huff! You all are here let them eat peace" granny scolded .

Everyone chuckled vacating the room for the curtains parted and the ceremony was close to an end..

Umar didn't talked a lot with Areesha just a few teasing words here and there when they got a nano pace of time other than that he remained silent waiting for the function to end but all the while her hand was a captive under his custody providing warmth and security ..

In midst of guests there came a very special lady who became the reason of bride's sudden wide smile .

Mrs rauf embraced Areesha with love and strings of prayers which made her blush as well shy at  her used words

Her beauty was praised once again in a flawless description..

"Gorgeous nothing will happen if you bless Umar with your glance every now and than "Annie teasingly suggested ,umar chuckled his voice sending active butterflies in her stomach.

"I would suggest you to listen her"he supported making her bashful

Soon they were huddled by some close family friends that they failed to notice the arriving couple until they were in very front

"Congratulations" Amir's voice reached their ears ..umar's eyes turned dark while Areesha's gaze met the couple .

Areesha blinked twice before coming into her own self, their speeches hidden behind the shield of eyes ,seeing the girl beside him to say the least she was more than happy to see his stunning partner

Umar didn't spoke a word neither replied to his greeting

"Thank you" Areesha gave a smile towards an excited falaq.

Amir averted his gaze away from hers introducing his wife as Areesha gave a soft squeeze to umar's hand and it was than he answered Amir's questions and accepted his greetings with a professional attitude.

"Many congratulations on your wedding falaq" Areesha spoke as the sweet girl narrated their story shortly of how they met.

They vacated the place as their were many other people waiting for them.

It was a rather short and prompt exchange but enough for all of then to drawl into many thoughts

"I wish you a best life ahead Areesha" Amir directed his words to her .

"Yes May Allah bless you two with all His wonderful blessings" falaq wished.as Umar responded with a slight smile tightening his grip on her fragile hands

"They look so wonderful together Amir and can we meet them after the wedding I really want to have a long extensive talk with Areesha she is just awesome" she chirped.

Amir looked at his beautiful wife who was claded in a rose gold long maxi dress with heavy work of beats

"Yes she is amazing!" he answered never flickering a gaze back at the bride who once had his heart.

His hand held falaqs waist as he took her away from the crowd a serene smile on his face seeing her shy stance ..

"I love you miss falaq I love you a lot, thanks for being with me " he murmured making her eyes pool with emotions of true love..

"I love you to my Prince" she replied giving him a sweet kiss.their hearts were mirrored with each others pure love as he shielded her under his powerful arms...

While all the guests were instructed to depart to another room for small pleasantries decided for them

And with lots of laughter ,blessings and greetings came the last ritual for which the cousins awaited since long..

Areesha was now seated on the sofa of the house with Umar beside her ..they didn't wanted the ruksati from the hotel instead decided that with prayers of family she will depart from the house to her home..

The tray came in front of umar as everyone gathered around.

It was topped with 3 fancy bottles of special drink each consisting of a tag price ..

"Come on Umar decide from which precious bottle you will have the drink ".Annie placed the tray in front while others laughed at the display

The ritual was same but the difference was instead of money each tag had a demand ..

"Do you want to drink it through fider Umar because only that contains the demand of your choice" dani mused while Umar raised his eyebrows at the display in front a sweet smile on Areesha's doll like face being prominent.

"Let me explain if you want to take Areesha away just now you can drink through a fider."

"If you promise to let her stay with us for two whole days without you than you can have a baby olaf straw cup"

"And if you promise to stay here for a week after marriage and say a word.in her beauty than you can drink through your decorated glass" he finished proud

"Yes Mr groom choose your precious drink" Ameera persuaded a serene smile on elders face enjoying their antics

"I don't really like your drinks you can take them back" Umar retorted seeing their demands..

"Oh Mr handsome anger isn't a good thing on this day come on we are ready to compensate at least choose."

"Umar beta choose the glass we are on your side" granny winked

"Oh no granny you can't" they said altogether.

"Wait I have a better demand for you all "!

"I will book you all a trip to a country for a week is that okay ?"he gave an undeniable option.

"Agreed" the ladies chirped while the mans denied groaning at the girls

"Come on we are not backing out so easily, choose from the demands"

"Two weeks trip" Umar smirked making the girls squeal

"Two weeks trip to the country you are going to" Ahmad suggested

"Never!!" Umar restored and laughs echoed around with the glows of red on the bride's cheeks

"He has been very generous to you all now give the drink" granny said.

"No granny !okay wait after your honeymoon you will come straight here for a week before going to uk."

After a minute pause which made everyone a whole lot curious,Umar smiled agreeing to their demand making them chortle in happiness...

It wasn't about money nor they desired to distress him in any way it was just a wish of their sincere hearts to gather once again for it was a little hard to let to of the most important people of their closely bonded group

And now it was time to leave ...

No one had anticipated that she will be leaving on the very same day except for some ,when the time was near the hearts were growing heavy ..

The one blown smiles were difficult to keep up .

The excited cheers were now hushed..as it was time for the daughter of the house to depart and embark on a new journey of her own..

It was time for a Prince to whisk away her princess in his castle...

And why all of it felt hard because no one was expecting this so many turned their faces trying to hide their emotions as Areesha was slowly made to stand up to leave .

"Where is her shawl?" Umar inquired not wanting her to step outside like this and she was draped with a heavy maroon velvet cloak to hide a gem within.

She felt a void...seeing everyone's controlled emotions, she gulped her inside but it was only for. time being..

"Areesha "umar's hand held her delicate ones as he helped her forward till the door where they stood in front of the black decorated jeep adorned with wild red roses with extreme delicacy..

Without a word she turned in her father's embrace as she felt a hand on her head .

"Love you.baba "she whispered while.salman patted her head murmuring strings of prayers.for his beautiful daughter..helpless he found himself yet it was the strongest act to let go .

"May Allah.protect you my jaan" fatima cried kissing her forehead slowly she met everyone ..

Granny 's eyes showered tears as well smile of merriment as she embraced her son's doll blessing her with prayers along with Umar .

Ameera kissed her cheeks with a strong hug along with others.And last came.Rayyan who stood a little far seeing his beloved sister ,where their eyes met pausing the moment ...

"I will always be there for you don't cry please" he held her sister close providing a brotherly shield as Umar announced it was time to leave...

Even dani was a bit emotional but looked at side taking his place in the front car

With prayers,tears and blessings of elders the beloved daughter of the house stepped out of the house ..

Though it was his strict instructions she wasn't able to control her emotions ,his pointed gaze met hers making her gulp the remaining emotions with great difficulty

Her head was lowered as Umar held her hand helping her into to the car and leaned closer placing her long dress inside ..

"Shh Areesha love" he softly murmured clearing her tears as his fragrance of cologne whiffed past her nose , his stance hiding them from everyone ..And the door was gently closed shielding her completely due to the tinted black glass.

The jeep drove away from the driveway of the lit house ...And the cousins decided to accompany it till their home honking at the front and the back while the main jeep remained in the middle none.but Umar driving it

The road was lit on both sides with lamps of oil...

The house wasn't to far from their current residence and so little time that was left after the revelation the cousins decorated the path to welcome the royal couple..

The different honks with a unique tone filled the air ,alerting the people of town of the incoming royal car as each one had the indicators on reflecting the ahead path..

In the serene silence of the car the bride and groom sat in their own world..

Umar gazed at Areesha from where came a soft sniffle taking a sigh he knew no words would comfort her at the moment so taking his one hand of the steering and intertwined with her cold ones providing it warmth and security...

"Areesha I wanted our life I start in our new house ,that will be solely ours .."his smooth voice troubled the strings of her emotional heart

"This was the first house I buyed with my own earnings just for you Areesha just for you...And it took me a good amount of time to make it as I dreamt of it to be" ....

"I don't like to see you crying ari please have mercy on this heart" he delivered the sincere words..

"I want you to step in with that precious smiles of yours not tears beloved" he gently leaned towards her fragile doll brushing his lips on her cheek making her suck in her breath and the car stopped ...

His words and actions surely had a great impact on her yet which each passing minute she felt scared of the upcoming life away from everyone she holds dear but with the one she loves..

While his high personality made her breath stuck...

Murmuring Bismillah she slowly entered the house with Umar beside him ...And lifted her gaze to just get awe struck by it's decorations ..

The house was instilled with bright lamps of different flowered shapes..

With unique frames hanging on the walls and a antique yet modern pieces of arts placed at the glass tables..

The golden fire place that burned with the light sounds of cackles providing warmth around the cold atmosphere..

The spiral stairs had pink orchids gathered around in both the edges its rims covered with lavish polish that reflected the lights of heavy chandelier

What she felt was a unique feeling...as if she have always live here since the beginning of her existence ...she felt truly at home..

"Umar won't you invite us in" all the cousins were lined up against their cars with folded hands as Umar shook his head with a smile.

"Only hina bhabi can come in" he responded hearing their oooooohs..

He gestured towards hina as she held Areesha's hand taking her upstairs and he opened the doors to welcome the cousins

"This place is magnificent Umar ,like a dream place or a hotel" kiran smiled

"A honeymoon suite you mean to say dear wife" Ahmad winked at Umar who looked away

"I still tell you Umar this was unfair to us" dani grunted taking a seat

"Ever heard of the quote everything is fair in love and war I guess my little brother made the right use of it" bilal bhai commented.

"The house is lavish Umar may ALLAH make it lucky for you" Annie prayed getting inside

"Api" I held hina api's hand as she styled my veil and dress on the bed but my nerves were stilled with the fear off unknown...

"My darling why are you scared it's Umar after all..He loves you Areesha and if has taken this bold step even for two days that shows how much you mean to him going against all isn't easy dear ."

"Now if after everything he has done if he sees you in tears I know it will just.break his spirits so be happy and smile for him," she kissed my cheek leaving me alone in the candle lit room..

"And do let me know what happened" kiran api winked peeking inside

"After all it's only Umar Areesha"Annie voiced from behind as they giggled closing the door

Slowly my heart beat increased with every sound that came behind the door..

I glanced in the dim room which was fragrant with fresh flowers...The lights flooding through each petal as everything was concealed from my gaze because of the net veil which hung from bed covering me from all sides caging me in like a princess ,while I sat fiddling with my fingers on the large bed of crown head..

Why is that I want to run away into mummy embrace or hide behind my father ,why my nerves are all out of control that I can't feel.anything yet everything
Why my insides are churning and my.breaths are laboured..

Does every bride feels the same ..

If the circumstances had been different I would have just explored the room taking in the enticing fragrance every now and that but for now even to breath seems to be the biggest task in the world.

I caressed the small petal of rose in my palm as the click of the door echoed all around..

My breath caught in the throat as I stilled the petal flowing away my delicate hand..

The sound of his shoes neared by each passing second as I opened my mouth to take small breaths his alluring cologne reached my nostrils taking away my senses..

"Umar ?" I whispered no more being able to take the silent curiosity..

"Relax love" he lightly chuckled sending shivers due to his grave voice ...I clutched the bedsheet when one candle was flicked off by him and ever so slowly others beside the window

The hue around grew a little more dimmer sucking my breath off..

I lowered my eyes when his form.neared the bed and closed my eyes as I heard the cars of Asad bahi and others leave ..

The bed dipped so did my heart beat as I opened my eyes feeling his warmth and hesitantly gazed at him and it only took one glance of his love to somewhat calm my hazed feelings...

His eyes just drank my emotions as he never wavered his alluring glance from me taking in every outlined feature.

"Today,!,..He dangerously paused " you took my.breath away" he whispered in my ears ,his stumble caressing my cheeks i clutched his hands as he drew away just a little studying my reactions.

My cheeks inflamed with red as he brushed his lips inside my palm.slowly his intense gaze taking away my senses..

"Wouldn't you ask for your gift Areesha ?"he asked mischievous his hands opening the hook of her necklace as she tried to ease away to no vail.her lips drying

"Um ,ar" she whispered again with red reverent lips as the heavy piece of jewelry came off falling between them

"Yes my darling wife ,?"he eased away her earnings gently taking his own time whilst listening to her drumming heart..

"Seeing her in front in.a red dress sitting in his bed like a princess oh of how long he has waited for this day ..".

She looked like a beautiful untouched bloomed rose amidst the horizon of different flowers none reaching her fragrance nor her beauty...

Her scared questioning gaze met his as he took of her bangles one by one seeing her gulp adding fuel to his amused eyes

"I.am fulfilling my promise Areesha let's pray two rakat" Umar smiled taking her off guard as her lips tilted for the first time after the emotional goodbye.

"You remembered?" she hesitantly gave her hands into his who stood helping her off the bed ..

"I remember everything you say" he gazed pointed yet he melted again in her sacred beauty..

In the cold night filled with the depths of full moon light ...they both stood before their Lord who United them ..

He thanked the High Lord for the blessing he had yearned for years ...

Folding the intricate prayer mat he stood and Areesha hastily brushed her tear away her feelings were all out of place it was the first time she had seen him pray In front of her .And to say the least she couldn't be more thankful..

A relation starting with such love ,oh how wouldn't it be blessed with peace and happiness

He gently hoisted her up as she finished removing the white veil away, coming out as a bride again,she hadn't changed due to his demand..

His large hands were on her shoulders as he gazed intently in her shy orbs of innocence..

Her red dress snug all around her form till below her toes and her heavy shawl was slowly removed by her groom as it pooled beneath her..pins of hairs were next until the wavy long waterfall of shiny rose fragrant hairs came tumbling down shadowing her eye away from him..

He gazed at the beauty infront indulging completely in her charms which so innocently casted on a strong man like him ,tucking her silky strand behind her ear he conveyed those special words

"You are the most precious gem in my life sweetheart" his emotion filled words swirled around her embracing her from all sides as she to never wavered her gaze from his..

The long strands of her hair blew with the light breeze coming out of the slight open window freezer with the cold

"You made me wait for long my love way long" he whispered pulling her for a deep longed hug...inhaling her sweet addicting fragrance

Fulfilling the days he had.missed her ...every minute and second of his day

They both stood in harmony close to each other relishing the sweetness of their reunion under the starlight roof of their bedroom away from everyone in their own castle made with intense affection..

Marriage is not a fairytale everyone says but if the roots of relation are built upon heaps of affection and true love for each other that encompasses every aspect of apparent beauty recognizing the purity of others heart than its more than a fairytale

"Say something I missed you" he mumbled against her hair making her shiver and smile.

"I missed you to Umar" she whispered back holding him and he closed his eyes in contentment hearing her soothing voice..

Suddenly after seconds of solitude Something cold touched her sensitive spot making her squirm as Umar moved behind kissing her red cheeks.."that's your gift which you should've demanded" he pointed ,averting her bashful eyes from his intimidating ones her smooth hands touched the pendant of Crystal heart joined together .

A colour of rose gold and other of diamond blue with "love" engraved behind adjoining the two

It was such a delicate piece of art

"Thank you" she smiled extremely in awe with the piece of love..

"Anything for you my love " he murmured giving her waist a gentle squeeze making her shuddered yet him smile .

"And this is for others to know" he opened the purple case with elegant necklace and a jewel.filled filled crown. Indicating of the hidden warning of not anyone was to be told ..

"Umar you shouldn't have" she shook her head "you are more than enough for me" she shyly peeked seeing his raised eyebrows.

"You won't refuse my any gift Areesha !!and by the way what did you say darling? ,can you repeat it for me" He closed their distances but she moved away just in time making his handsome face twist in a smirk.

"Where will you run ari",he cocked his eyebrow predatory inching towards her as she slowly backed away ,her glimmering dress flowing with her making her yet more attractive with her slowly gliding hairs and sparkling pendant.

"Umar !" She politely complained moving her gaze away from his intimidating ones their were emotions she had yet to learn to deep to.study just now ..

"Where Areesha?" he asked again as her back hit the cold window making her squirm yet he smiled in victory his breaths fanning her ,involuntary closing her eyes

He held her waist freeing her from the iced glass into his warm embrace caressing her cheeks with the pad of his thumb making her heart thumb and throat dry..from his.burning gaze..

"Many years ago I started wishing for a star that was to far away...When my wish came true today do you think I should let her go even for a second" he questioned intense as Areesha slowly licked my lips unknowingly diverting his attention

"Did you like our new house?" he diverted the topic easing her heartbeat for a while.

"My wish was to bring you here as my bride even if we are leaving after two days" he completed searching for her reaction.which was drawn somewhere to deep under the blankets of nervousness ..

And how could she breath easily when under the dim room of flickering candles he stood caging her from both ends ...the moonlight bathing her hairs with its shine and her big lashes dropping low with His closeness..but under any circumstances her husband required an answer

"I love it" was all she mumbled peeking through her lashes trying to get away from his close proximity.

"And the man who bought it?"he pulled even more closer the beats tingling to awake the asleep night

"Umar please" she called lighter than the feather when he kept growing close under the canopy of smiling stars

"I need an answer wife" he demanded caressing her soft cheeks which soothed his heart

"I love him more " her whisper caught his Sharp ears making him stop.and maybe only those words were needed for his passion to trigger as he leaned in without another word silencing her ... the curtains were closed as he picked her up towards his heart

It perceived like every time a petal inside of her bloomed when with him and ever so slowly the close bud of her being in will blossom as a radiant flower being complete.

The night was awake ...so was their dreams ...encrusted in the shell of love they lay asleep

The sparks of love doesn't need wings to fly beloved's emotions are their wings and their dreams its destination...

It was indeed a sparkle of true love which enveloped them both in its shine making their dreams a reality

"Love you my Areesha" were his last words before he held her close and after months peacefully slept

A fragrance of young love was drawn many years ago ...feeling the freshness of its enticing smell it a wish lived for years which became a hearty prayer with time and now that fragrance had a rose to live within to have a home and pure love....

"I love you to Umar .....much more than you can ever think of "her small murmur was caught up by the midnight air filling the stars with its shine and the moon with its reflections

And that's how their true love will keep blooming..for .untill their souls remain...
