SHUMAYLL
The flight was at 8am and i met her at 5am
To say she was happy would be an understatement
I had come to bid my goodbyes to everyone at the Ibrahim mansion but had met her before any one
although i knew that Iqraam had known all the while that i was talking to Iqra
she was in the balcony and i was outside, standing in my room's balcony
"Allah Hafiz" i finally said to the Ibrahim's before i walked out of the house and got into my car
"Airport" i said to the driver and he nodded
Iqra messaged me to be safe
I replied and then switched off my phone
I worked on my upcoming project but my mind kept going towards Iqra
all i could do was think of her
damn i can't even wait until she is mine!
++++
"Yes Ruqait- this is not some coincidence, it must be fraud, i am not against people taking my money, i am against them cheating on me, even it its just a cent apart!" i said and Evan nodded in agreement
"Sir, The Switzerland company was doing good until Mid Jan when this financial problems started- i thought it was just a regular imbalance and had it checked by the accountant but it turned out to be in millions" said Evan and i sighed, rubbing my forehead
"Evan, we have over 100 employees in the Swiz branch alone, a million is gone and you expect me to fine that? Put up a notice, tell them that they have to work in their hours to make up for the one million fraud or find the person who did this or worse, all will be fired-" I said and Evan nodded
"What about the turkey one?" asked Ruqait
"Its only fair that i do that for both" i replied and both the managers nodded
"Now excuse me gentlemen, i have a event to be at" i said and they smiled before getting up and walking away
I got dressed in my formal white long sleeved shirt and black waist coat, followed by a suit coat
my phone rang and i grinned knowing Iqraam was in Dubai
Since this is a international event, all the well known people from around the world were coming, how can we miss Iqraam!?!

"As salaam bro" i said as i began tying my shoe laces
"Was salaam, where are you?" he asked me
"Hotel room- where are you?" i questioned
"Downstairs, lobby, get your butt downstairs!" he said and i laughed
"Coming" i said and hung up
i set my hair, put on cologne and took a selfie, sending it to Iqra only
i walked downstairs, greeting people on the way
I met Iqraam at the lobby and we did the bro handshake before walking towards our car
the event was organised by our company at the Pearl Hotel
The tabloids took our photos as we walked into the grand hotel for the event
it was for helping the disabled
I had a speech, of course but i gave it to the event organizer, the Dubai company manager Omair to speak
We took our seats and the programme began
First was the formal introductions and then was the outline of the day
it was the usual, collect money for the kids and socialize
i met a few people, including Kaif Shahaan and a few others
"Shumayll we should head back, its already late" said Iqraam and i nodded
I met the final people and then bid my goodbyes after the vote of thanks
I was exhausted by the time we reached the hotel
after a quick shower, Iqraam and I grabbed dinner before going back to my room
we both were sharing one room like we always did
He set at the balcony, his phone at his ear as he played with my laptop
bhabhi
of course
"Ahem, umm i need that laptop to access work" i said to him
he glared at me but nevertheless gave it
i smirked at him and then began annoying him
i poked him sometimes, other times made faces at him
he glared at me
"Go talk to Iqra or something man!" he said and i grinned
I walked to the bed and set down, leaning on the headboard
I called Iqra
"As salaam Shumayll- shes busy, will call you in about an hour" said Nafaasat and i sighed
"Was salaam, alright" was all i could reply
Damn Iqraam, he can get to talk to his wife while i can't!

Sighing, I lay back on the bed, smiling about tomorrow
i would be officially married to her tomorrow
she would be mine!!!!!!!!!
I was hyper about it
i was going crazy even thinking about it
and i was going all nervous about it
"Nervous?" asked Iqraam and i set up on the bed
"Iqraam, did you feel this way when you married bhabhi?" I asked him and he chuckled
"I was worse- because that time she was not in love with me, she just liked me" he said and i smiled at the good old memories
"But you my brother, you know that she loves you and will not leave your side no matter what!" he explained and i smiled
"Anyways- when are you planning on telling her about you?" he asked me and i sighed
"That is what i don't know" i muttered, running a hand through my hair
"Alright bro, just tell her- i am sure she will understand- afterall Iqra is bought up to be understanding" he smiled and i nodded
His phone rang and he got up and walked away with it
I set there staring at the ceiling
I checked the time
9:30PM
It must be 7:30PM there
I can't believe it, I am getting married tomorrow
and i am not even in SA for the shopping and all
why!?!!
now i feel plain stupid for this
i could have postponed this!
I sighed and lay on the bed again
An idea hit me and i smiled
"Yo bro, wanna return home now?" i questioned Iqraam and he turned to me with confusion
'What?" he asked me and i smiled wickedly
"Uhuh, we can return home now" I said and he rubbed his temples
"What? It will take almost 8 hours so if we leave now, we will reach there by approximately......" I did a mental math "...5:30AM which will be 3:30AM in SA!!"
He groaned
"You sure?" he asked me and i nodded
"Cool, lets leave" he said grabbing his things
we both were dressed in jeans and tees due to the weather here so all we had to do was take our unpacked suitcase and go to the airport as our flight will be early from 3:00AM to now
We got in the car and asked the driver to leave us at the airport
once in, we boarded Ibrahim Jet and bam, we were out
My phone was switched off and we slept most of the flight to cover up for the sleep lost
back at home, everyone knew that we would have landed during the day but here we were!
++++
"WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL, MAN!?!!" yelled Shaheer bhai when he saw us in the kitchen at home
"What?" i asked him, casually drinking the fruit punch
"You two are suppose to arrive at 11AM!" he said
"he made me do it" Iqraam made is very clear it was my idea
way to go, best friend!
"Oh I see" he said smirking and i chuckled
"Shut up- i need sleep" I muttered before striding out of the kitchen towards my room
Iqraam followed me closely and once in the room, we showered one by one and hit the bed
Sleep gradually took me over
My phone blared in my ear and i winced sitting up on my bed
rubbing my eyes, i checked the time, 10AM
I pushed Iqraam off the bed and he cursed in arabic, calling me a donkey and all other animals that were considered as insults
"Get up, its 10!" I said and stood up
i walked into the bathroom, brushed and showered
I got ready, wearing a white t-shirt that said nike in bold- over which, i had to wear a black button up sherwani paired with black jeans
over all, i did look good
Iqraam whistled when he saw me and gave me a bro pat
"Can't believe you are marrying my sister!" he said and i grinned, thinking of her
"Believe it" i replied and he laughed
we were suppose to get to the mosque from my place
I was the last to get downstairs, as usual
"You know what this reminds me of?" asked Abba and i shook my head
"It reminds me of Iqraam's nikah" he said and Iqraam grinned
"Dman those days!" he remarked and i laughed
"Lets go?" i asked them and they nodded, smirking in the process
Sohayll leapt up into my arms and hugged me tight
"So you will leave me?" he questioned out of no where
"Who said so?" i asked him and he sighed heavily
"I don't know" he muttered and i laughed
sometimes he seemed older than he actually is!
"Lets go" called ammi as she kissed my forehead and beamed at me
"Finally my son is getting married!!" she squealed and i laughed
finally i am getting married
FINALLY!
