As he step out of the bride room,a huge smile was appeared on his face. The happiness can be seen in his eyes shinning and his smiling lips. As Aabia saw her brother smiling she jumped with happiness. Aarham went near to his sister.

"So Bhai how was the meeting?" She asked mischievously.

Aarham smiled and hold her ear to pull it a little.

"Ahh...Bhai I arranged your meeting with your Mehak and you are punishing me. Not fair." Aabia said making Aarham smile more.

"You naughty girl." Aarham said and leaved her ear making her giggle.

"Thank you." Aarham said and walked toward the hall where everyone was,waiting for groom.

Aabia giggled and feel happy to see the smile of her brother. She rushed to the bridal room where Mehak was standing freeze.

"Bhabhi." Aabia yelled as she entered the room.

Mehak came to her senses. Her heart beat was beating as hell. Her hands were shivering and so were her,legs. She look up at Aabia who was smiling looking at her innocent and shy bhabhi.

"Oh come on you are shying like my brother kissed you!" Aabia said making Mehak go red.

"Or did he?? Don't tell me bhabhi Bhai kissed you!?" Aabia yelled making Mehak's eyes go wide.

"Really wow Bhai really kissed you. I'm surprised. Bhai kissed you..." Aabia was saying all this surprised and with a little loud voice that Mehak got scared what if someone heard her.

Mehak immediately covered her mouth with her hand to stop her from saying anything.

"Shut up girl. Nothing... Nothing happened okay! " Mehak said and Aabia nodded.

Mehak slowly removed her hand from Aabia's mouth. Aabia was looking at Mehak and then burst out into a laughter. Mehak narrowed her eyes but Aabia didn't care about that all.

"Don't worry bhabhi. If my brother didn't kissed you now he'll soon kiss you in your room." Aabia whispered in Mehak's ear and run out because she knew Mehak will not leave her.

Mehak's lips got dry with the thought of Aarham's closeness. A nervous smile covered her lips and she fall on the couch and hold her heart which was beating as hell. Her cheeks were heated up. She didn't know what to do. Suddenly the room door opened and she look up.

★★★

"I'm so happy." Zeeniya said looking at her son who was seated on stage as a groom.

But the thing which was making zeeniya happy was that smile which she can be seen on her son's face. The happiness in his eyes and the dreams in them.

"Me too." Jahan said looking at the same view.

"Where,is my daughter in-law?" Jahan said and turn to zeeniya who smiled

"She's coming but don't you think you are forgetting something?!" Zeeniya said and turn to jahan.

He smiled looking at his beloved wife who was buttoning his shirt. He encircled his arms around her making her startled.

"Jahan what,are you doing??" She said and tried to remove his hands from her waist.

"I'm not forgetting anything my love. You are looking so beautiful that my eyes are refusing to avert from you." Jahan said bring her closer.

Zeeniya look around to see if anyone is watching them. Her hands were continuously trying to remove his hands from her waist.

"Jahan leave me!" Zeeniya said with a red face.

"Zee Maa just stop here." Both turn on the voice and saw Shams standing.

As they turn he clicked their moment to capture it forever. Jahan removed his hands from zeeniya and walked to him.

"You naughty boy I told you to stop keeping an eye on us." Jahan said and hold his ear and pulled him to zeeniya.

"Your Jahan papa is mad I know but you too Shams." Zeeniya said looking at him who was showing the pic he clicked and Jahan was watching it with a smile.

"Zee Maa you see you are looking so beautiful in Jahan papa's arms." Shams said and soon received a slap from zeeniya on shoulder.

"Shame on you." Zeeniya scolded him which he didn't care.

"My daughter in-law is coming. You both keep standing here." Zeeniya said as she saw Mehak coming.

As I look up I saw my sister,my sister in-laws were standing with a huge smile. Zarnish and Aabia came forward to take me.

"Its time to come out in front of the world as Mrs Aarham." Aabia whispered in my ear and we start walking out of the room.

My legs were shivering so was my body..I was fully shivering. Nervousness was overwhelming me and my eyes were so heavy to look up. With shaking legs I stepped up on the stage and was made sit next to my groom. Next to Aarham. My eyes were lower while my heart don't ask it was running like it was taking part in a race. As I sit my shoulder touched with his making me shiver. But I didn't look up and just keep sitting with lower eyes. Many flashes telling me that everyone was capturing us. Me and Aarham. Together. I didn't know how we were looking but I could hear the whispers saying that we were looking beautiful together.

"Bhai bhabhi look here" I look up at the voice to see the naughty Roshaane sending in front of us clicking our moment.

Soon the time came to depart. To leave my parents and start my journey with this man seats next to me. I hugged my parents and under the blessing of Holy Quran my parents send me with Aarham as his life partner. I was crying under the veil. I was going far from my parents my dad. It was going to be very difficult to stay far from them.

I was,made sit inside the car and I felt him taking sear next to me. Soon our cars start moving and my new journey to my new house and relations started. I was still sobbing under the veil. Leaving your house,parents and siblings is not easy. Its not easy to live without your parents. And girls are born to go far from their parents one day.

"Bhabhi." I startled on the voice.

I found that we reached home. I slowly stepped out of the car and start moving slowly with Aabia and Roshaane on my both sides holding me. I stopped.

"Welcome." I heard zeeniya Aunty's voice.

"Son come you both have to step in the house together." I heard Jahan papa's voice.

I felt his presence next to me and my heart flipped. Flipped with strange feelings.

"Shall we?" I heard his whisper and I slowly took a step with him inside the house.

We both entered the house together and I was again seated with him. Someone slowly took off my veil and I look up. It was naughty Aabia.

"Welcome bhabhi." She wished me.

And then the non stop wishing session started. All relatives,girls women one by one came to meet me and wished me. I turn a little to see him but he was nowhere. I was seated alone receiving all the wishes.

"Finding your groom?" I startled on the voice.

Zarnish was seated on my right side asking. I just look down and she hold my hands.

"Aarham Bhai is with boys. Don't worry he'll come to you. After all you two will have all the night to see each other." She whispered in my ear and winked.

My jaw dropped. I always thought that this girl was shy and sweet but she's more naughty than Aabia. I never knew that she could be like this. But no all girls of this family were like this. Naughty and mischievous.

"Girls take Mehak to her room." I heard someone but I didn't pay attention on the voice.

I was stuck on the words. My room.!! I mean the room I was going to share with...with my husband. My heart was really not in my control. It was fluttering.

"Bhabhiiiii." A mischievous shout near my ear wakes me up from thoughts.

I look at the person and it was non other than but Miss Aabia who was having a mischievous grin on her face.

"Already in my brother's arms!" She whispered and I really wanted to run away to hide myself from this girl.

Gos if she's like this than her brother would be hell out of me!!!

I'm freaking..freaking the hell out of me!

Relax Mehak!!

I talked to myself in my heart and nodded a little to relax myself. I was taken to the room. My feet were so heavy to move. The condition of my heart was not to be told. As the door of the room open roses smell went directly to my nostrils making me smile. I stepped in and look at the room which was so huge and so beautiful with its simple interior. Blue and while curtains, a white couch near the balcony, a white sofa set at the side of the room and blue cushions on them. Carpeted floor with the combination of both colours blue and white was making the room more beautiful. My eyes fall on the bed and my breath stuck in my chest. A circular bed!!!!

Circular bed?!!

I was in trouble now. I turn to see Aabia who was hiding her smile. I look up at the back wall of bed which was beautifully painted with dark blue colour and a huge pic of my husband was fixed where he was Riding a Horse. My eyes stuck on his face and I was lost in watching him when someone snapped his fingers in front of me.

"He's all yours bhabhi." Zarnish this time and I blushed.

"Come lady. Sit on this beautiful bed." Aabia said and made me sit on bed.

I was made to sit on the centre of the bed which was beautifully decorated with roses. Actually the whole room was fully decorated with roses. Candle lights were making the room more romantic. Bunches of roses were everywhere I could see.

"I'm going to send your groom " Aabia said and I look down.

All girls left while giggling and I was there seated with so much nervousness. My heart was hammering against my chest. My body was heated up while my hands were freezing. I was feeling spasm in my stomach. My tongue and lips got dry.

Where I'm stuck??!!!

I asked myself and start twitching my fingers with each other in nervousness. I was really freaking out. I don't what I was going to do. What he's going to ask. What he's going to say and what I'm going to answer. I was just sitting there like a dumb who was getting nervousness on the coming situation. I startup when I heard the door open. I immediately lower my head with my veil on. I interlinked my finders tightly with each other and closed my eyes firmly. I felt the bed dipped and then again that voice which I heard in that bridal room of that marriage hall.

"Assalam-o-alikum." He said and my body stiffened.

"Beta what are you doing here?? Go Mehak would be waiting." Mom said and I look up at her.

I didn't got up nor I answered her. I just keep seated there and keep eating ice cream. I look up and saw,my whole family was glaring at me but I didn't pay attention on them and again start eating my favorite vanilla ice cream.

"Bhaiii." Someone grabbed my ice cream bowl and I look up to see my sweet sister Aabia.

"What,are you doing?" She asked

"I'm having my ice cream. Can't you see!??" I said and grabbed my ice cream bowl from her hand.

I start eating again and I heard a lot of sigh. I look up and saw my whole family took seat in front of me. I saw Shams trying to hide his laughter while Shazam was already laughing and Roshaane and Zarnish were looking at me disappointedly.

"What are you guys doing??" I asked.

"Jahan now you have to tell him where he should be now!" Mom said and I again look down at the bowl I was holding and turn on the television.

I was now enjoying ice cream and watching the football match. I was feeling their gaze on me. I know they must all watching no but glaring at me because I should be there in my room with my bride but I was here like a stupid who was enjoying stupid ice cream instead of going to his bride but actually no really and truly I was freaking out. I was getting nervous to go in my room.

"Nervous??" I turn to my left side and saw Shams seated.

"No. Why would I??" I said and again fixed my eyes on television.

"Because its your wedding night and you are here enjoying this stupid ice cream." I turn on the voice to see Sameer on my right side saying all this to me.

"Come on Bhai. Its your wedding night. My bhabhi is waiting and you are here with this stupid match and ice cream." Sameer snatched the bowl of ice cream from my hand.

"Exactly. Its your wedding night stupid. Your bride is waiting and you are seated here." Shams said and I sighed.

"Get up now." Aabia hold my arm and made me stand up.

"Don't be nervous because she's more nervous than you are." Aabia whispered in my ear and I just smiled.

"Go I want my both son and daughter in-law smiling and happy." Mom said and I nodded.

I slowly walked to my room. Strange feelings were knocking my heart. I was feeling strange. Nervousness was overwhelming.

Come one Aarham. You are Aarham Jahan Ahmad. You can never be nervous. Just don't be nervous. Its just..just...the same room of yours.

I talked to myself and nodded. I took a deep breath and put my hand on the knob to open it. I stepped in and my eyes landed on the figure seated on that circular bed with a veil on the face. I closed the door and took deep breaths before stepping to her.

Relax!!!

Deep breaths!!

Deep breaths!!!

I said yo myself and sat on bed in front of her. I felt her body stiffened. My eyes moved down to her hands which she interlinked tightly and I smiled. Aabia truly said that she's more nervous than I'm.

"Assalam-o-alikum." I greeted her and waited for her to say something or at least answer to it.

But she didn't say anything. There was all silence. I built confidence in me and I slowly lifted her veil to reveal her beautiful face to me. As the veil removed her eyes moved up and our eyes met with each other. My heart skip its,beats as her beautiful black eyes met mine. We were just lost in each other. I realize that I was gazing her and didn't say anything.

"Hi..how... How are you?" I asked and mentally palmed my face on my question.

How idiot I'm!

Her eyes lower down on my voice and I saw her eyes shivering. I smiled a little on her nervous look.

"Can we start from the top?" I asked and she look up.

Come one it was my wedding night and I was going to spend my whole life with this girl so I have to fade this awkward silence between us. This nervousness, awkwardness I have to vanish it and for it first I have to be frank with her. So I thought to start the conversation normally. I saw her looking up at my question and I smiled. I sat up completely relaxed and look deeply at her beautiful face.

"Hi I'm Aarham." I said and bring my hand forward to shake with her.

She look at me and then at my hand. I could feel her getting nervous and then a second later I heard her.

"I'm Mehak." She replied and then I felt the warmth of her hand next to mine as she shook her hand with me.

I hold her hand happily. Her hand was,so soft and fragile and was perfectly fit in my hand. I just keep holding her hand.

"Its nice meeting you Mehak." I said still holding her hand.

She just nodded and again lower her head. I start thinking what to say further. How to start conversation with her again. I wanted to talk to her to hear her sweet voice but she was all quite.

"Hmm...so..are you happy?" I asked and she look up and I could see the question in her eyes.

"About our marriage!? Are you happy?" I asked and her eyes again lower down.

God why she's silent and again she nodded her head. Why can't she use her voice to answer me!!

"Listen Mehak!." I said and she look up.

I thought to talk clearly now. It was,our life and we both were going to share with each other so to live with each other we gave to be frank first of all with each other.

"We are,married now and you know that this marriage is completely arranged. We are tied in this relation and we are going to share our life,our every moment our days and night with each other. So we can't live like this right! I mean I want you to be frank with me. So I can hear you and you can talk to me freely without any hesitation. I hope you are understanding!?" I asked and she again nodded.

God this girl and her nodding!!!

"And one more think I want you answer my questions. So no nodding or shaking your head." I said and she again nodded her head.

But then she look up her tongue between her teeth makes me,laugh. I saw her smiling too.

"So just relax and be friendly with me." I said.

"And..!" I said and paused.

I saw her looking at me and waited for me to continue. I leaned closer still holding her hand. I saw her stopping her breath but I just keep moving and leaned to her ear.

"About love!! I'm dying to fall in love with you!." I whispered in her ear which make her shivered.

I moved back and saw her face which was as red as beetroot. I smiled and moved back. I half lay on bed in front of her.

"But for now just be friends until we fall for each other." I said and her lips form into the best smile I have ever seen.

"Good. Just,relax. Feel free. This is your room too." I said giving her comfort.

"Thank you." Her voice rang in my room.

"Wow thank God you said something!" I said and got up.

She just smiled and keep looking down. I look down at our hands which were still holding each other. I didn't leave her hand and she also didn't tried to free it. This was the best moment which was tingling my heart. I just keep looking at our hands which was looking so beautiful and perfect with each other. Moments passed and I just keep feeling the warmth of her soft hand on mine.

"I'm...I'm...feeling hungry!" Her voice snapped me out from my gazing.

I look up at her and smiled. Her eyes were on me and I nodded.

"You take off your jewellery. I just serve your dinner." I said looking at her beautiful face.

I squeezed her hand slowly leaved it. I missed it. The warmth of her hand next to mine. I was,about to get up but her voice stopped me.

"You...you didn't mind?" She asked and I turned to her.

"About what?" I asked.

"That...I...said...I'm...I'm..feeling hungry. So I thought to ask that you didn't mind." She replied and I smiled because she talked non stop at least.

"Yes I mind it." I said and her eyes widened.

"That how can you think like that. Why would I be angry if you are feeling hungry.!" I said and saw her getting relax.

"Now don't think too much and come. And actually I'm also feeling so much hungry!" I said and chuckled.

She smiled widely and I got up from there. I took off the upper Jacket of the Sherwani leaving myself only in the pajama and the shirt which reached just above my knees. I folded the sleeves on my forearms and sat on the sofa.

"Come I'm taking out the food." I said looking at her who was,still seated in the same position.
