Hasan's POV

Our flight landed after two hours. I and Amma came out of the airport along with two bodyguards. Two more guards were waiting outside the airport with our car at the exit. We settled in and drove off to the venue where the wedding was planned to be. It took us around thirty minutes to reach the place. The venue looked like a Rajputana Palace with a huge hotel having around 300 rooms, a huge garden with beautiful flowers all around, a grand swimming pool, and whatnot. Amma was amazed looking at the beauty and serenity of the place. Zara had pre-booked the venue three days prior to her wedding which means that we were going to stay here for a total of four days including today. Tomorrow is going to be her Haldi ceremony, the day after tomorrow will be the mehndi and sangeet ceremony and the fourth day will finally be her wedding day. So for these four days, no drugs, no guns, and no blood.No work at all, just me and my two favorite women. I don't even the shadow of my dark life to touch Zara. She is about to begin her new life and don't want anything bad to happen. As we entered through the main gate I spotted Zara already waiting for us at the entrance door of the hotel. Amma's eyes lit up as she saw Zara.Mine too. She came up running straight towards me and hugged me tightly. I was meeting her after about four years and all these years I did not even get the chance to talk to her on phone properly. But Amma was in constant touch with her." Bhaijaan I am so happy to see you. I could not believe that you actually came. I thought you would not be able to make it out of your busy schedule."Zara exclaimed with tears in her eyes." How could I dare not to come  Zaru? You know that your brother can die for you".I said hugging back her."Now if you two are done with your talks, can I also get some love and hugs?"Amma said mocking at as. We all busted into laughter and Zara hugged Amma. I don't remember the last time I laughed. We went inside the hotel and Zara showed us our respective rooms. I settled into my room and went in for a bath. After having a good shower I rested myself on the bed trying my hardest to sleep but could not. Its been a while since I have not slept properly. I was struggling to sleep when heard a soft knock at the door."Yes?" I inquired. " Bhaijaan it's me, Zara." Zara said still standing outside the room." Oh yes, Zaru please come in" I insisted. Zara came in with her usual pretty smile."Actually bhaijaan I came here to remind you that please do not forget to handover your clothes for ironing that you are going to wear for tomorrow's Haldi ceremony. I have already called the laundry boy for Amma and you. He will be here in a minute so please take out your clothes from the bag" Zara said pointing towards the bags. I smiled back at her and opened my bag. I pulled out my white chikan kurta and salwar and handed it over to Zara. She looked at the clothes and then at me with her narrowed eyes." What is this bhaijaan? Are you going to wear this tomorrow?"Zara asked broadening her mouth." Yes. Why? You don't like it? I asked. " No, its nice bhaijaan but I already told Amma that it's going to be a yellow theme for the Haldi ceremony and green theme for the mehndi ceremony. Did not she tell you?" Zara said making a sad face." No, she did not. Actually it's not her mistake. I was too busy these days that I did not get the chance to even see her properly. but don't get sad my princess. I'll just go and buy a yellow and a green kurta. You just tell me the best place to go for" I said smiling at Zara." Ethnic store at the city mall is the best place to shop for ethnic wears." Zara said excitedly." Okay then!I'll just go and shop. Happy now?" I asked. " Yes! very much." Zara replied. I called my bodyguards and asked them to get the car ready and after that, I left for the city mall.
