Being his halal

Chapter eighteen.

We got home after spending like an hour from our original time. I walked out of the car and met annur as he intertwined our hands and led me inside. I was still frightened from that scene but I put on a good face and kept it down.

We walked inside the house to see decorations and the place lifted with life, people and glamour. My face brighten as i look up to see annur smile at me. OMG all these for me?

"What took you guys so long, we've been waiting for like forever"faiza said breaking our gaze.

"Um.." I was searching for what to say but no avail, finally annur rescued me

"We had to branch somewhere and don't even ask where" annur spoke being serious. I guess he really didn't want anyone knowing.

"Oh I get. Anyways annur please bring her to us when you both are done with your lovey dovey" faiza smiled as she left. What does she get? Of course she doesn't know anything, she can't, it'll just make all of them worry.

I looked back at annur but then his face was still stiffened and he wasn't looking at me, i held his hand tighter so he could turn his attention back to me. His gaze never met mine as he stared at me with different emotions running through them.

"I'm here and I'm not leaving anytime soon" I assured him but he just kept on staring at me. Out of nowhere I felt familiar hands pull me closer to them. "I love you so much" he says before he presses his lips on mine and kisses me like he was never going to see me. I kissed him back reassuring him that I was indeed still here with him. We broke the kiss as we were still outside and he smiled at me. Finally that smile that I've been meaning to see.

He gestures for me to look inside and i did as i turned to look at the people there and saw familiar faces

"Umma, Abba" I said as I left annur's embrace and rushed over to them.

"Asalam" I said as I reached them embracing them.

"My child how are you and happy birthday" Abba said hugging me tight.

"Happy birthday my darling" umma said as she hugged me too as I left Abba

"Thank you so much, I'm so happy you both are here. I'm so sorry I haven't talked to the both of you, I don't even have any excuse but I'm really sorry" I tell them truthfully. I can't actually tell them that annur has occupied all of my brain. Lol.

"Oh my child we understand, just call us more often okay?" Mom says and I nod in agreement.

"Hatina, I hope all is all. I hope you're happy my child?" dad asked out of the blue. I turned to look at him and smiled widely. Yes everything was okay, everything was perfect I wanted to tell them all but I knew I could only say the bits. I was indeed very happy, the way annur talked to me, treated me, loved me and the way he touched me passionately all those things make me love him so much

"Abba I am very happy, and I want to thank you so much for bringing annur into my life, for making me marry him and Allah for joining us together, Abba, umma, thank you so much I am very happy" I tell them truthfully as I went to embrace them.

"This has always been my dream for me to see my two daughters in a good home where they are treated with love and respect. Alhamdulilah I'm so happy" Abba said while we depart. I talked to them for some while catching up on some things after since my departure.

"Khadijah couldn't make it, she's out of the country with her husband and Khalid decided to go with them" umma replied as I asked for my sister.

"Okay no problem, you two are here" I say smiling happily .They both smiled and I hugged them again before leaving to greet other people.

I met some of annur's relations like his cousins and aunt's and uncle's. I greet them all and they wished me a happy birthday.I saw haleema standing by and went to see her.

"You came" I said to her hugging her from behind.

"Yes I did" she laughs and turns to me.

"come here I have loads of questions to ask you" I said dragging her aside." So tell me how's the preparations for the wedding, I'm sorry I Haven't contributed in anything you know I've been away but I promise now I'll, just call me and I'll be there" I tell her. Haleema is getting married and as her best friend I haven't even done anything nor helped with anything and I feel really bad about it.

"Hatina, its okay I understand really, I just won't take it if you won't show up at my wedding" she says seriously.

"Don't talk like that you know I'll, even if I have a meeting with Mr president I'll decline and come for yours first okay?" I assure her.

"Really" she teased.

"Yes really" I tell her.

That's why I love haleema she's so simple and understanding her husband is so lucky to have her although I haven't gotten the opportunity to meet him but she has told me so much about him. His curly hair, his perfected teeth, his masculine jaw and that she really likes him. I just want her to be happy.

I left haleema and went to to gift compartment to be greeted with loads of gifts that were staying there. My lips formed a smile and I was very happy, at least this night isn't so bad after all.

I enjoyed the party with my husband, best friend, friends, family and everyone it was wonderful.

The party was over and everyone left wishing me happy birthday again, I was overwhelmed.

I went back to the rest of my family and sat beside my husband happily as he layed me on his chest.

"It's gift time" faiz said happily as everyone chanted.

I laughed and everyone brought out their gifts and gave to me one after the other. I was so happy and decided to open dad's own first.

"Ya Allah, dad I.. "I became speechless.

"Don't say anything just accept it" dad told me but I was still speechless. "That's a key to a three story building here in New York, I want you to have it. May Allah make you make the best of it" my heart ached at the love he showed me, he never treated me otherwise, rather like his daughter, how can I ever repay him.

"The happiness alone in my heart, only Allah sees it and he knows the weight of it. You have made me happy sir, along with all of you, May Allah continue to reward you, put you with us all in Hannah, May he continue to add to your blessings, protect you and save you from evil" I hug him as he planted a kiss on my forehead and I part apart from him.

I looked over to take mom's own and opened it. It was a key also but not a car key.

"That's a key to this house, you can come in here whenever you want" mom said. Oh my God. This is too much.

"Mom, thank you I'm so happy". I accepted it, I can't turn any down after its a gift. I went by her side and hugged her, as she embraced me. "Bless you my child" she rubbed my head as I smiled at her and went back to Annur.

I checked over to take faiz gift, I opened it also and smiled. It was a tee shirt written it's my birthday and a brand new iPhone x.

"Faiz this is too much" I grinned in happiness

"Take it as my wedding and your birthday present also" he spoke calmly.

"Thank you" I said as my eyes became watery. Everything is just so good and I'm so happy that it feels like a dream. I never knew I could be this happy.

I saw two last box where I kept the one's they just gave me and realized I don't see annur's own. One was for faiza and the other for haleema. I decided not to mind I'm sure he has his reason.

It was faiza own. I took it out and found two bracelet. The both were written sister on it and had my name and the other had faiza name on it.

"One is for you and also for me, that will always connects us together, meaning we don't have to be sister by blood but you have already become a sister I never had and will always be with us"faiza spoke emotionally and I was struck.

"Aww thank you faiza, that's so sweet thank you" I said lowly as the tear almost strolled down my eyes but I held it back. Annur seemed to notice as he came closer to me and snaked his hands round my waist stoking up and down.

I took out the last box and opened it to find two chains written on one best and the other friends like it was broken.

"OMG haleema, thank you". I yelped in happinesses I have always wanted something like this and it was only haleema who knew about this and she got it for me. Ya Allah I'm so happy " thank you all, I'm so happy Allah put me into this family, ever since I walked into it, my life has been full with blossoms starting with my new parents, sister and brother, best friend and lastly my lovely husband, I'm really grateful" I tell them all. Saying all these made my eye watery and annur pulled me closer to his chest holding me tight.

"That's what family's for" faiz said and everyone was all happy.

"Hold on, annur I don't see you give anything to hatina" faiza spikwe aloud making all gaze turn back to us.

"Mine is special, so you won't be there when I give it to her and I think we'll call this a night" he said then picking me up bridal style.

"Awww" every one said making me blush as I hid my face in his chest.

"Annur I have to see haleema off" I tell him

"No don't worry about me, I can go myself just go and enjoy your night, happy birthday again" haleema spoke. I told annur to drop me down and I ran to hug her. I felt so happy and lucky to have all of them.

"Thank you, goodnight" I tell her as she does the same and leaves. I went back to annur's side as his hand met my waist and we said our goodbyes to the rest of the family and went to our room.

Annur sat me on the bed with a worried expression on his face.

"What's wrong" I asked sitting closer to him

"Its just am worried about what happened this night, before we got home. Hatina I don't want you to mention this to any of them please, it'll only get them worried" he spoke with worry in his eyes.

"Don't worry I won't so don't be worried anymore" I assure him.

"Thank you. By the way this is for you " he handed me a box which was kind of heavier that all the one's I received. I opened it to find a sparkling substance in front of me. Tell me I'm dreaming.

"Annur, Ya Allah, its beautiful" I carried it up to see a diamond necklace I mean real diamonds written 'MINE ' boldly on it. This is the best day of my life. This is beautiful.

"I hope you like it" he asks. Is he really asking if I like it. Oh God I love this man so much.

"I love it so much, thank you" I tell him.

" i love you so much and I'll always tell you this You're mine and only mi...". I dropped the necklace and annur spoke but I cut him off as kiss him, I intertwined our lips and kissed him which he returned it back. He kissed me passionately and released me to gasp for breath. His lips curved into a smile as he realized what I just did and knew what I wanted next, his whole expression was now lit up and I could feel every ting of happiness radiating from him.

"You're mime and only mine also" I spoke through ragged breathing. I was even surprised by own words but I didn't mind, I didn't care about anything all I cared about was this man right I'm front of me.

He stared at me intensely holding questions and emotions running through them and I stared back answering all those questions undoubtedly. He didn't need to say anything for me to understand him further as he rushed in again taking my lips in his as he rose me up so I could straddle him. His hands did wonders as they moved up and down my body while his lips kissed me blissfully. I straddled him moving with the same rhythm as he did while heat rose between us and things got heated and faster.

His hands traveled to my back where my zip was as he dragged it bit by bit while caressing other parts of me. He stops for a minute for us to catch our breath, my breathing heaved and so did his. His hands caressed my now already raised gown letting me feel his touch on my thighs.

"Hatina" he spoke. "I...." I cut him off by placing my lips on his for a sharp kiss silencing him.

"Yes" I replied not wanting to hear what I already know before giving the answer he and I have both waited for. It was time for us to consummate our marriage, it was time for us to become one.

"Are you sure, as much as I would love to, I want you to be sure about it" he asks me again. What a man.

"Yes I'm sure, I want you to take me" I replied with full sincerity and had no doubt in my mind. He lips curved into a huge smile as his hands traveled round my body and his lips finding ways to my neck. His hands finally undid my zip as his lips took access of my neck due to my bending. He leaves trails of kisses all over, my body grew a lot more hotter and I let out a moan feeling every pleasure and satisfaction.

He didn't waste much time as he slips off my veil and brings down my dress revealing my body. His eyes roamed round my chest as I was only in my bra, his lips curved into a smile liking what he was seeing as I felt so exposed but decided to just look down. He raises my head up letting me see how much he really appreciates everything about me before leaning in and kissing me passionately before taking me to the bed for us to consummate our marriage.

This was the night annur and I became one, the same night he made me a woman and made me his entirely.
