"Oo bhai tu ab chalay ga bhi ya yahi teri mehndi ki rasam kar du?" I groaned at haarib who was taking so long to dress up.
Ifra ne bhi itni der nahi lagai ho gi tayar hone ma jitni is ne laga di ha.
"Mere dono bete kitnay piyare lag rahy han. Nazar na lag jaye bus. " mom came and kissed our foreheads.
"Han mom! Meri utar do nazar! Itna handsome jo hun. Ap k ye dosre bete ko kis ne dekhna ha? Kharos kahi ka. "
Haarib said and I raised my eyebrows.
That was enough to make him shut his mouth.
"Ab chalai? Ya yahi raat guzarni ha?" I asked when haarib whispered lowly in mom's ear.
"Mom! Is ko jaldi meri shadi ki nahi ha... is ko jaldi bhabi se milne ki ha... juda hue arsaa jo ho gaya ha. " they both laughed and I gave then a stern look and got out of room.
Waha sab intazar kar rahy hon gay...
Soha bhi tayar ho gai ho gi.
She must have been waiting for me.
---------
The hall was fully decorated with yellow , peach and green coloured flowers. The entrance had a wooden floor that lead to the stage. There were lightening over the middle floor I guess it was for dancing.
Haarib didn't came along with me because he was coming with all the band baja out there.
In the hall full of people I managed to spot Alia whose hand was in zuhaib's and he was helping her sitting on the sofa.
I smiled.
He really was the best choice for her.
Now where is my best choice?
-------
This girl I tell you! Kisi ki nahi sunti.
Har waqat bas apni man mani karwa lo.
"Ab tum yaha se uthi na! Toh phir dekhna. Pura hall phir lia ha. Ab bas. Baith jao aram se. " I ordered her as I made her sit carefully on the sofa.
"I am alright sweetie. Its just your babies are making my back ache. That makes me a little more tired. " she said while sitting down in a relaxing position with pillows behind her.
"Ooh! So my babies make yo...." I was speaking when Sheharyar came looking handsome in his kurta shalwar.
"Hi buddy! What's up?" I and Sheharyar hugged and my sweet deary wife ! How come she would be seated for more than 5 minutes.
She stood up again.
"Wahh! Mera bhai toh khud dulha lag raha ha. Kitni larkio ko fida karna ka irada hai bhai?" She hugged him and complemented him.
We both smiled and he didn't answered just smiled and looked here and there. May be searching for someone?
I looked at alia and she nodded in understanding and put her hand over Sheharyar's shoulder.
"Bhai? " she whispered.
"Hmm?" He was still not interested.
"Bhabi hamare sath nahi ai aur na hi hall ma han so stop searching for her!" And then his eyes abruptly looked at alia and we both laughed at Sheharyar's expressions.
Serious and confusing.
"Where is she then?" He really was in a hurry to meet her.
"Woh dulhan k sath parlour gai thi and would come with her. Ifra insisted her so she had to go. They would be just coming after haarib bhai would come. " Alia explained him but he wasn't happy to hear the news.
He excused and went towards the stage.
"What's up with him?" I asked confusingly.
Alia laughed and said "jab king apni queen ko ek hafty se nahi dekhay ga toh yu majnu ki tarha hi phiray ga na. Acha ab chalo haarib is now on stage I have to be there for family picture please please please..." she again stood up and I rolled my eyes.

Kon samjhaye is larki ko!
-------
Ye koi tareqa hai bhala.
I have been waiting for her and she is just testing my patience.
"Mehboob k intazar mai jaan hi na haar day hum...
Bhai! Ye dulhan sahiba ane ma itna waqat kiu le rahi han?"
Haarib was more impatient than me.
I guess those two besties have made us two wrapped around their fingers.
"Yaar! Ab teri wali ki wajah se meri wali bhi toh late ho rahi ha. Wase sachi batao.... you have been trapped. Ifra jaisi larki se baj k nikalna is hell way difficult. " I laughed and he smiled and replied with a slight blush.
"Bachna chahta bhi kon ha bhai? Ab aa bhi jaye ye k hamar...."
Haarib instantly stopped talking as all the lights went off suddenly.
"Do they really don't have a generator or something?" We both were sitting on the stage while people were moving here and there but then everything stilled.
My eyes stopped at only thing I was searching for.
The only person my eyes were longing to see.
My love.... Soha
Meri akhian ch hasdeya sajjna
Meri akhian ch hasdeya sajjna
Ve mere dil wich vasdeya sajjna
Ve meri jaan main tere naa
Ve meri jaan tere naa karke mar jaan
The spot light relieved two gorgeous ladies coming from the enterance while ifra's brothers hold a shining embroidered dupatta all over from 4 sides over ifra and soha's head.
The song in the background was truly describing the scene right now. They continue to walk until they were near the stage.
Tainu takkeya te dull gayian akhiyan akhiyan
Saari duniya nu bhull gayian akhiyan akhiyan
Kiya re kiya re khud ishq khuda ne
Kiya re kiya re khud ishq khuda ne
When they reached the stage I still couldn't take my eyes off her. She was looking Breathtaking in her pink kurti and lehnga that was completely covered with stones, pearls and embroidery.
I put my hand forward for her to take but she refused and came up by herself and started to make ifra sit beside haarib. They both sat there and then everyone started to take pictures when I took hold of her hand and lead her stand beside haarib and ifra to take pictures. I put my hands over her waist. Actually I was half hugging her.
Terian baahan ch aake main tan channa kho gayi
Saahan di mehak mere seene ch samo gayi
Bhull geya jagg saara ishq ch kho gayi
Bhull geya jagg saara ishq ch kho gayi
Ik jid kare ambran ch ud jaan nu
Ik jid kare ishq ch dubb jaan nu
Eh mera gam eh kis kamm
Eh mera gam kis kamm tere baajhon ve sanam
Asin kathe jeena asin kathe marna marna
Ik dooje bina saada nahion sarna sarna
Kiya re kiya re khud ishq khuda ne
Kiya re kiya re khud ishq khuda ne
I whispered the last part in her ear while pulling her a little more closer.
Her increased breath and uneasiness was what I enjoyed.
Gosh! I missed her so much.
She gave me a look and hit my foot by her heels and ouch! That hurts.
She then smirked and left the stage.
"Everyone please settle down on your seats and leave the floor. The dance performance is gonna start in few minutes. THANK you. " it was soha who speaked on speaker for everyone to hear.
Dance? When did she prepared for that?
"Bhai! Oyee sherry!" Haarib was whispering and signalling me to listen to him.
I bend down to his level and he whispered in my ear.

"Bhai! Yeh larki walo ne toh kia khoob tayari ki ha. Ab in k dance ka badla kon de ga? Alia to dance karne se rahi. Ap...." and I gave him a look that he understood.
I know how to dance but I won't.
"Bhai! Thats not fair! See bhabi kitna acha dance kar rahi han. Please ap bhi jaye na warna.... warna mai ja rahi hu. " Alia came to me and was literally begging me.
I hold her hand and said.
"I'll handle it. "
-----
"Ballay ballay nachay ha ye bawra jiya...
Ballay ballay na jaye g...."
We girls were dancing when suddenly thw lights got off and so does the music.
Everyone subsided but I was still on the floor hoping for lights to get on.
"Hina? Asma?" I called my friends but there was hustle bustle but no one answered me.
Main jatt yamla pagla deewanaa....
I frowned as the lights got on and no one was there on the stage.
I was about to go when someone grabbed my hand turned me around.
Sheharyar?
Oye main jatt yamla pagla deewana
Ho rabba itni si baat na jaana
K k k o mainu pyaar kardi hai
Saade utte woh marrdi hai
K o mainu pyaar kardi hai
Saade utte woh marrdi hai
He made me spin round and round then he hold both my hands and pulled me towards his body.
I wasn't dancing.
He was making me dance.
"Leave me or else!" I tried to threaten him but he sat down on his knees in front of me still holding my right hand.
Iss ne toh kaha har baat ko ishaare mein
Diya bhi jala ke rakkha raaton ko chaubaare mein
Iss ne toh kaha har baat ko ishaare mein
Diya bhi jala ke rakkha raaton ko chaubaare mein
He was making me move around him while he was sitting in the centre.
Then he left me with a push.
I was still making myself balance. This much spinning make my head go dizzy.
Then when I recognized my surroundings, I was at a side of stage while Sheharyar, don't know from where generated a dupatta and spun it around his head when the song continue to play.
Reshmi dupatta phenka peeng ke hulaare mein
Mele mein akele phiri baazaar saare mein
Kaun sa banaya na bahaana, bahaana, bahaana
I stood beside him when he hold that dupatta around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
Everyone was shouting and cheering sounds.
I smiled at his sudden change of behaviour.
Warna Sheharyar aur dance?
I smiled and left the stage going towards ifra.
Haarib wasn't there. I frowned and turned around to see both of them off the stage.
They both hugged and moved together with same moves and steps.
Aisa nahi hota toh woh aise, sharmaati na
Mujhe aate dekh sadak pe bhaag jaati na ...
Sheharyar moved and signalled towards me.
Aisa nahi hota toh woh aise, sharmaati na
Mujhe aate dekh sadak pe bhaag jaati na
This was now haarib who copied Sheharyar's steps and moved towards the stage signalling towards ifra.
Zulfon ke ghoonghat mein mukhada chupati na
Chhoti si umar mein woh jaan ko lagati na
Prem da rog puraana, puraana, puraana
Haarib reached stage and took hold of my hand when Sheharyar came and slapped his hands away from mine.
Ifra and I were smiling so widely.
They both took us both, I mean Sheharyar took me and haarib took ifra's hand and lead us both towards the floor .
Main jatt yamla pagla deewanaaaaa...
I and ifra hit their chests and sing along the song,
Ho rabba itni si baat na jaana
K k k
main tenu pyaar kardi haan
Tere utte main marrdi haan
Oye main tenu pyaar kardi haan
Tere utte main marrdi haan
Listening to this, Sheharyar took me by surprise by carrying me into his arms and spinning us around.
K k k o mainu pyaar kardi hai
Saade utte woh marrdi hai
K o mainu pyaar kardi hai, hai hai hai
Saade utte woh marrdi hai
The song ended and everyone clapped.
I signalled Sheharyar to put me down but he wasn't in a mood to.
But I had to. I was about to throw up and if he won't let me go right now I was about to vomit right here.
Thank God aunty came and Sheharyar put me down. As soon as my feet found the floor I ran towards the restroom.
Entering in, I throw up everything I had taken in the lunch.
God! I feel so sick. Ahhh ....
One vomit is enough to make you look pale.
It was like I was about to hit the floor.
What's happening why I am feeling this way.
May be because of sudden spinning and all by Sheharyar!
He literally made me surprised today.
Dance and all...
I washed my face with cold water. This made me relaxed a bit.
I looked up in the mirror only to find myself look horrible.
I took out some make-up from my bag and did some touch up.
Drowsiness and vomiting....
Tiredness....
My eyes got wide!!!
No! THIS couldn't be....
Is it... what I am thinking....
I...
My periods date... it was 2 weeks ago.
No... no... no.....
I... this...
My hands reached my belly and I put my hand there.
Are you there sweetie?
I closed my eyes and smiled madly.
Sheharyar sunay gay toh kitna khush hon gay.
But first I have to confirm it.
Phir kal barat k baad I'll tell him.
-------
Soha wasn't in the hall. I have been searching for her everywhere.
"Hey! Have you seen soha?" I asked ifra and she shook her head as NO.
"Umm Sheharyar! I guess she went towards the restroom. " I nodded and went towards restroom.
I was waiting outside but she was taking years to come out.
My patience was about to end when she finally came out of restroom.
"What took you so long?" I asked as soon as she was out.
Seeing me, she got surprised or may be flinched.
But she looked pale and exhausted.
I hold of her hand and lead her towards the bridal room. There was no one in there. I pulled us both in and locked the room while making her cage in between the door and me.
"Sheharyar ye ap... kia..." she was still in haze of what just happened and I shut her up by a rough and demanding kiss.
She gave up easily whenever I kiss her and I love her for that. Pulling her even more closer, I angled my face to kiss her deeply.
She moaned back in her throat but I continued kissing her with all my feelings of past two weeks.
It was hell difficult for a man to not take what's his, when its an arm length away.
"You took my breath away..." she said when I left her lips and put my forehead over hers.
"So did you..." I replied with a smirke and lashed to her neck.
"With your beauty and charms...."
I kissed her neck deeply while holding her waist.
"You make me go wild..."
And with that I again kissed her but slow and steady this time.
She was smiling all this time.
May be because of my actions.
"Sorry about the lipstick. " I said smiling when I was done kissing her.
"I guess I should be sorry for making you a joker. " she laughed and I frowned.
She made me turn around and I look at myself in the mirror behind us.
Her lipstick was somewhere on my face near my lips.
She moved and took a tissue form table and started to clean my face.
"I missed you...." I finally admitted what I was feeling.
I guess one should admit and tell what one feels for other before it gets too late.
She smiled and nodded.
"And I am.... Sorry too...." I put my hands around her waist.
She again smiled and nodded.
"And.... I love you?" I said and she lost her smile bit still looked straight into my eyes.
"And I have to tell you something. "
I was saying 'i love you' and this is what I get in return?
"I guess the answer was, 'you love me too'" I pulled her closer to me and she instead of saying anything, hugged me.
"Its more important. " she said.
"Okay then! Go ahead. " I said while hugging her back.
"No! Not now... I'll tell you tomorrow. "I frowned at her statement.
"Aren't you behaving weird? " I asked and she laughed.
"Yeah... may be. Ab ap ka kuch toh asar pare ga na mujh par. " she laughed making me smile too.
We both hugged for few minutes when our moment was disturbed by this one and only brat!
"Bhai? Are you guys done now? I have to take ifra's sandles from inside. " haarib said from outside the room.
"Abhi shadi hui nahi! Joru ka gulam pehly ban gya ha. "
Soha laughed at my statement.
--------
Its positive....
Its positive....
Its.... positive.....
I came out of bathroom when ifra hold me "is it a YES? Please say yes... please. "
She pleaded and I smiled nodding my head.
"Oh my God! Yesss! Lalalala lalala lalaaa. Mai khala ban gaiiii! " she started to shout and jump on the bed.
Uff! Ye larki!
Lagta hai k kal is ki shadi hai?
I put my hand over her mouth.
The mehndi function was over and I again refused to go with Sheharyar.
I had to give him surprise and for this, I had to do preparations.
"Chup kar ja pagal! Don't you dare to open your mouth in front of anyone. I want to tell Sheharyar first. " I said and she smiled making an 'awww' sound.
"Okay so... What's the plan?" She asked and I smirked.
"Call haarib! "
