chapter 9

Finally the sun came out everyone got busy for preparation of nikah ceremony which will be happening in Thier own Mansion after Friday prayers including some family and friends.

It'd be a decent event with no show off of money.

Fatima's sister Hina with her husband and kids and her cousin dua with her husband Abdullah were also gathered obviously helping there elders.

The mansion was decorated with white roses surrounded by golden lighting which gave the roses a shimmering hue,made them looking elegant in Thier own way. They also symbolize the purity and innocence.

Fatima couldn't sleep the whole night in anticipation, the anxiety was killing her which led to condition of her now as she was feeling extreme nausea and dizziness. Her Amma insisted that she should have light breakfast but she denied.

"Bacha please only one bite then you can take some medicine na ". Amma said while caressing her cheek and wiping the sweat on Fatima's forehead with her scarf.

"No Amma I don't even want to look at it right now " Fatima replied.

Amma shooked her head at her.

"Ok then also make up artist will arrive any minute now so I suggest you too fresh up a little okay I'll back in few minutes". Amma said.

"No! I don't feel good please don't leave me alone, please stay." She whined in small voice.

" How about you go freshen up until then let me get your dress I'll back in few minutes" Amma tried to negotiate before opening the door and going outside to bring her dress.

As Fatima stood up from the bed the dizziness hit her and sat back down again while massaging her temple.

"It's hurting so much I should've taken some medicine." She muttered to herself.

Fatima have low pain tolerance. The pain come with headache doesn't leave her until it make her cry. She feel nauseous and eventually start vomiting.

She got up again and she walked to the bathroom with great difficulty.she washed her face with cold water. She looked up at the mirror. The girl she was seeing had little to no sparkle, had eyes bags and a pale complexion.

She heard her door open and footsteps of few people followed afterward.

She opened the door of bathroom and was greeted by two females who were preparing their things up while Amma sat on the bed and passed fatima a encouraging smile.

"Aslamoalikum! I'm naila and she is fareha. We will get you ready. Please come sit here." Makeup artist naila introduced herself and other one to Fatima and they got emersed into their work.

" Waliakum aslam!" Fatima replied quietly.

Few hours later

They kept her makeup simple but applied maroon lipstick which compliment her dress .Her jewellery looked as fragile and elegant as Fatima herself.when they got done with her she was looking so gorgeous and beautiful.the dress was looking so beautiful on her. The golden and marron work on her lengha was complimenting her complexion so much. Her vision blured as she saw herself in the mirror. She got ready for him. Her life will be changed from the moment she'll say" qabool hai " she couldn't process these thoughts. Knocking on the door made her come out of her thoughts.

Sana ,Hina ,Dua Api came inside with her mother and tayi ammi behind them.

"mash'allah look at my daughter how beautiful she is looking. May Allah protect you from evil eyes" her tayi ammi said then she kissed Fatima's forehead.

"Now wear this gajray.. here give me your hand" hina said to her sister. She made her wear those gajry.

"Are you ready Fatima?? it's time to go!" Her mother asked.

"Gee mama " shagufta smirked in satisfaction.

" Let's go " ..... She said as she brought the veil down to cover Fatima's face.

On the other hand

Rehab was also getting ready for his day, for her........His possession, love , life ,will be his today. He wore off white shalwar qameez matching it with Fatima, which made his bulky body look more intimidating, with gold cufflinks and watch. His hair looking neat and shiny.

He was looking handsome and expensive.

He got down stairs before Fatima and greeted his Dadi , father and father in law.dadi hugged him and gave him many prayers. Ibrahim patted his back.he also greeted few guest and Checked all the arrangements for the event himself also.

Dadi told him to sit down at the other side of partition where the nikah will take place. Qazi shab were already present. Now they were waiting for the bride.

Everyone looked at the bride as came down the stairs ,her mother and tayi ammi were on sides while her sister and cousins were behind. Her dress was looking so elegant. No one could see her face as it was covered. Fatima couldn't help but feel someone burning gaze on her which belong to none other then rehab. His eyes were counting very step of hers as she down and sat across him. He couldn't see her clearly Dua to the partition.

Fatima was not doing any better than before. She was dizzier than before. She couldn't calmed her heart down which was pounding, almost like a wild animal trying to escape her chest.

"Let's start qazi shaab " and with that nikah started.

Everyone body cheered as they witness the seen unfolding Infront of them. He hugged her his one hand wrapped on her waist while the other was holding the head. she collapsed in his arms right then and there,making everyone gasped.

He immediately held her bridle style brought her into his room with Amma on his side.

While the parents dismissed the guests.

He called the doctor and she was in the house within 15 minutes. She told him that she hadn't eaten in 17 hours or more and collapsed due to low sugar level. And the fever might happen in few hours so he should take care of her well and make her eat some food and some fruits. she attached a drip to bring back her sugars level to normal.

"Why she hadn't eaten?"rehab sternly asked Amma. He was sitting on the couch in his room like a king sitting on his throne!

"I asked her to eat something but she didn't comply because she was feeling nauseous!" Amma replied fearing his reaction.

"And why didn't you reported me all of this" he asked.

She didn't answered.

" You do know that you're here because I want you to take care of her. I Can separate you from her in the snap of my finger. " She said harshly.

Amma got panicked and start crying hysterically.

"No -no beta don't do that beta please you know that I can't live without her " Amma sobbed.

"Only because of her " he said and dismissed her
