Yasir raised his hands to make dua in a bid to get rid of his uneasiness.They had been at the masjid for the past half an hour but Imam had still not shown up with the Nikah papers.He was currently a nervous wreck and honestly, he just wanted to get done with it.He just finally wanted make her, his.

He wondered if she was too was feeling nervous like him.He knew that uncle Bilal was already at the masjid and judging from his happy voice he knew that she had already given her consent.But doubt kept settling in his heart and he hoped that he was not ruining her life.

"See, i told you guys.Never schedule a Nikah after dhuhr prayers, these guys go for lunch and forget about everything," said Hisham.

"So my suggestion is, lets order pizza while we wait," he added.

"Hisham, you cannot always be eating," said Khaleel.

"Shut up fish face."

"Yasir,please tell Hisham to stop calling me names."

"Guys stop.We are at the masjid for goodness sake.Let the Nikah get done and il tell Hitler to drop you two off at the park on our way back."

"Whatever and look the Imam is finally here," said Hisham.

Immediately after passing salams the Imam began a khutbah on the sunnah of marriage much to everyone's dismay.Khaleel and Hisham let out rather loud groans while Yasir just smiled.

"I am never attending another wedding in my life,"whispered Khaleel.

"Dream on bro because you are getting married next," said Hisham smirking.In fact he couldnt wait.Let them all suffer.

"Guys, this is sunnah please listen," whispered Yasir.It was a beautiful khutbah and he didnt understand why the two thick heads didnt want to listen.The Imam had already finished reciting the three verses of taqwa and was currently narrating a hadith.

He continued to listen keenly and his breath hitched when he heard the Imam ask uncle Bilal for his consent.It would be his turn soon and he doubted he would be able to speak, since his throat had already turned dry.

Seconds later,he felt Hisham's hand on his shoulder and he knew that the Imam had now turned to him.

"Do you Yasir Hosseini take Yumnah Saeed in marriage for the stipulated amounts of mahr mentioned?" asked the Imam loudly.

Yasir cleared his throat and answered boldly.

"I accept her in my marriage."

The Imam asked him the same question thrice to which Yasir answered boldly each time.

"Barak Allah laka wa baraka alayka wa jama'a baynakuma bikhayr.(May Allah bless you and have his blessings descend upon you and unite you in goodness)"

Yasir closed his eyes as the Imam recited the dua.He couldn't believe that he was finally a married man.Yumnah Saeed was finally his wife,his better half,half his deen, in fact she was now his everything.

"Mabrook bro," said Hisham as he hugged him.

"JazakAllah Akhi."

"Yasir,mabrook.How are you feeling now?" asked Bilal as he hugged him.

"I am happy uncle,jazakAllah for giving me Yumnah's hand.I promise to keep her happy to the best of my ability."

"No Yasir,thank you for accepting my daughter.May Allah grant both of you all the happiness and you have to call me Papa now.I finally have a son."

Yasir laughed and Bilal patiently waited next to him as everyone took turns to congratulate both of them.

"So Yasir are you ready to go?"

"Yes i am uncle, i mean Papa," said Yasir nervously.

"Good,now lets go get you you're bride."

"Ya Allah, hurry up girls, the men will be here any minute now," said Saeeda as she quickly picked up clothes from the bed.

"What have you girls been doing since morning?"

Yumnah and Saadia looked at each other and immediately blush crept up Yumnah's cheeks.They had spent their entire morning stalking Hisham Hosseini on Facebook so that they could see Yasir's pictures.

Yumnah blushed more as she thought of him.MashAllah he indeed was handsome and to think that she was getting married to him.

"Here,let my help you with your blouse," said Saadia as she took the different strings on the blouse and expertly started to tie them.

"What are you doing?"asked Yumnah as she felt her friend tighten her blouse after every second.

"Shush,you will thank me tonight woman," said Saadia as she sent her friend a wink.

"Saadia seriously what have you..."

"Yasir is here!" someone shouted from downstairs and seconds later they heard the loud blaring of horns which indicated the groom's arrival.Yumnah as usual rushed to the window inorder to get a glimpse of him but Saadia pulled her back.

"Seriously Yumnah?He will be with you in just a few more minutes.Now stand still and let me fix your veil," said Saadia laughing.

They both heard numerous "Mabrooks" from downstairs and Yumnah's breath hitched as her heart began beating in overdrive.

"Saadia, dont go,stay with me."

"You are one crazy person Wallahi.I doubt Yasir would want me here anyway," said her friend as she prepared to leave.

"Saadia!" Yumnah hissed but the only reply she got was the slamming of the door which indicated her friend's departure.

"Ya rabb," whispered Yumnah to herself.Why was she so nervous to meet him?

A few seconds later, she heard a gentle knock on the door and her father entered the room holding Yasir's hand.

"Asalam aleikum my child."

"Waleikum salam Papa," she answered smiling at the same times amusedly looking at how her father was holding Yasir's hand.Was he feeling shy as well?

"Yasir?"

"Naam?"

"She is all yours now."

"I...i...am..."

Yumnah smiled as she watched her husband stutter.This was the man she had loved and had yearned for all her life and today he stood infront of her but not just as anyone.But rather today he stood infront of her as her husband.

Her blind husband.

*

"Salam Yumnah," he said nervously as soon as her father left.

"Waleikum salam."

They both stood awkwardly both too shy to begin a conversation.

After a few seconds he cleared his throat.

"Mabrook by the way."

Yumnah let out a laugh.Seriously?Mabrook?Why was he congratulating her as if she got married to someone else?Yasir too laughed, okay that was really lame of him and just like that the awkward atmosphere between the two vanished.

He took a few steps towards her and he immediately felt her take his hand to guide him.

"Yumnah i want to read a dua,"he said and once again he felt her gently place his hand on her head.

Yumnah closed her eyes when he began to recite, blush creeping up her cheeks as she felt his minty breath fan her face.

Yasir then cupped her face much to her surprise and place the most light feathery kiss on her forehead.

"Thank you for marrying me Yumnah,"he whispered as he placed his forehead against hers.

She didnt answer him rather she flung her arms around his neck and broke down into tears.

Yasir immediately,as if on reflex cirlced his strong arms around her feeling her warm tears wet his Kanzu.But he didn't care, she could wet it as much as she wanted.

"Yumnah habibty, why are you crying now?"

"Ive waited for this day for so long Yasir, you have no idea and then you just called me habibty," she said and Yasir felt more tears wet his Kanzu.

He chuckled as he held her tighter.He could stay like this with her forever.

"So you dont want me to call you habibty?"

Yumnah too let out a chuckle as she removed herself from his embrace much to her husband's disappointent.

"I have our rings here by the way," she said in a bid to change the subject.His endearment was doing funny things to her stomach already.She had asked him if she could choose both their rings and he had readily agreed.

She helped him sit down on the bed after which she reached into her clutch and retrieved the two very familiar rings.She placed both of them in his hand and Yasir immediately began feeling them.

"Yumnah,your ring,i know it from before," he said.

He could never forget that ring, he had once chosen that ring for his mother.But how had Yumnah gotten it?

"Do you like them?"

"They are absolutely lovely MashAllah but Yumnah this ring..."

"I know you chose it for your mother Yasir,i was there that day and i too fell in love with it.Alhamdullilah, seems they were always meant for us because they never got sold."

Yasir smiled as he felt for her hand and gently pushed the ring up her finger.

He then put his ring on her palm and held out his hand for her.

Yumnah did not know if she could blush any harder.She took the ring and with trembling hands pushed it up his finger.

"Wow, so now im bound to you, no turning back? he asked teasingly.

"No, no turning back now."

"Oh no," he said laughing as he felt for her hand and pulled her towards him.He then gave her another kiss but this time on her cheeck.

"Sorry for ruining your makeup though."

"I am not wearing any makeup."

"I am glad to hear that habibty because you will always be beautiful to me with or without makeup," he said.

Yumnah blushed harder as she placed her head on his shoulder.

"Are you planning to cry again?I mean its okay but this is my new Kanzu you know."

"No more tears i promise."

"Good, i better be going now.You father had only given me five minutes and for sure i have over stayed."

"So, see you at our Walima tonight?Well not see, but you know what i mean right?"he asked amusedly and his heart immediately warmed up when he heard her next words.

"
