The Acceptance

The wedding (nikkah)

Arhan Malik :

Power is a dangerous thing; once you have it you never know where to stop.

My circumstances hadn't afforded me much power when my father was alive he tended to take all that for himself. He was a leader by blood and lethality, calculated and cruel and everything you needed to continue the legacy and a gang that people feared.

I had grown up under his iron fist and learned how cruel he is and yet he was the loving man of the family. I used to think am I going to be like him in the future? NO a big NO for that but fate has decided the opposite for me.

The same bloodline made me the leader I am now, the most feared and cruel one. Nonetheless, the taste for vengeance grows in me to kill the man who killed my father.

It was already noon and I didn’t even get ready for omer wedding. I wore one of my favorite Royal blue tuxedoes with a white bow tie. I style my long hair into a messy hairstyle and put on my shoes and am all set to go.

While I was opening my car door I received a call from the groom, well here we go “ what is it ome?” I ask rudely “bloody hell where are you Arhan!?” omer shouted. “b***h I'm coming you should be patient you know, the husband should be calm and collected” I teased and he hung the call. Typically, Omer, I shrugged and drive to the wedding destination.

QASIFAH NAWAL

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING the grand wedding of Aila my dearest best friend and Omer the groom. well unfortunately, I didn't get to see the groom yet.

“ Soooo how are you feeling right now ?” I ask her cheekily. “Well I duno I feel pretty tense and scared and happy it's all kind of mixture of emotion?”. “ well it's your big day and that's fine to feel all emotional you know”. I said with a shrug and hug her tightly.

“Huhh my bestie is getting married I can't believe it Aila”. “You should be” she said while laughing. At the right time the hairdresser came to Aila's room to get her prepared. “Okay I should not disturb you anymore get readyyyy” I said cheerfully.

I went to my hotel room which Aila's dad reserved for us. I looked at the white long gown which covered with light green colour embroidery and gifted by Aila’s mom she’s really very kind women and with pretty great taste in dressing sense.

I went to the bathroom to take a short shower and get ready for the wedding (nikkah). After the hot shower i put on some makeup light shade of brown eyeshadow and a nude lip mate with some eyeliner. I look myself in the mirror and kinda feel pretty I wear the white gown and wrap the shawl around my head to cover my hair and I put on my heels and am ready to go.

I was closing my room and pressed on the elevator button to go to Aila’s room to see whether she was ready or not. I was in the elevator when another person came in he look kinda rough even tho he wore a nice suit. I lower my gaze when he was staring at me without batting an eyelashes.

A sudden of fear engulfs me and I could not breathe properly. The guy notice the sudden changes in me and asked “are you okay girl?” he asked in a rough tone. I could not find my words to answer him before I could speak the elevator start to open and I sprang towards Ailas room.

I knock on Aila’s room while catching up my breathe and I was speechless for a moment when I see Aila all doll up so beautifully. “Masha Allah Masha Allah may Allah protect you from all the evil eyes” I said “Masha Allah too you look gorgeous Qasifah the dress suits you”. “ well thanks to mom she is the one who gifted me this dress and I love it, by the way you look like an angel sooo beautiful I'm pretty sure Omer will faint when he sees you like this” I gushed.

We were talking when Aila's parents enter the room “Masha Allah look at my beautiful daughter who is getting married” Aila dad spoke while Aila hug her father “baba I'm going to miss you baba please don't forget about me when I'm gone” she said while sobbing. “My dear don't cry it will not look good on you and how we can forget about our only daughter huh?” Aila's dad said and stroked her hair.

Aila mom also started to be emotional and everyone did a group hug. “No more tears it's her big day we should be happy” I said excitedly. “ yes and now it's time to go and sign your nikkah papers” baba said and we leave the hotel room to go to the ballroom in which the wedding held.

Arhan Malik:

I never saw someone so pure and beautiful like her. Her sea-green eyes hold something make me feel intrigue and I just stare at her and I can feel she feel uncomfortable besides her breathe got labor like she was having a panic attack.” are you okay girl?” I asked and she feel harder to breathe and at the same time the elevator dings and she run away as fast as possible from me.

I think she got scared because of me which amused me I smile and walk to the ballroom with steady steps. The ballroom was decorated elegantly with gold and red colors give a more enchanting look.

“Hey man you look great Omer,” I said while we did a fist bump. “Well you look fine as well Arhan and thanks for coming on time thought you will come late as usual”, Omer said. “ you know it's your big day I would not miss it for anyone bruh”. I said with a shrug.

Omer's father was speaking in the mic ask for all the guests to gather to witness their son and daughter-in-law sign their nikkah. I was standing beside the flower stand when I saw her again with the bride it must be her friend.

Her smile was so beautiful which make my eyes crinkle at the edge. I heard all the clapping and cheering sounds in the room which make me realize that I have been watching her. Omer and Aila finally tie a knot and become husband and wife.

I start walking towards them to congratulate and wish them. “ finally you are married huh no more single man” I joked while he and Aila chuckle and heard a another giggle from the girl beside Aila.

QASIFAH NAWAL :

The guy form the elevator was joking around with the groom and bride I think he is one of Omer friend. I feel that he is staring at me for too long and I feel uncomfortable with the right cue I receive a call from Jason I move away from them to the silent corner and I press the green button.

“Hey Jason how are you ?” I asked “hey I'm fine Qasifah just wanted to inform you today got a big tournament in the Vault are you coming?”. Jason said “I think yes Aila's wedding are done and I'm free anyways. “Then I should put your name in the list” he said. “Yeah sure by”. I hung the call and went to Aila to tell her I'm going.

The guy was still there and he saw me coming he put both his hand in his pocket and he kinda looked like a businessman. “ hey guys wish you both a happy married life and May Allah bless you with the best always, you both look so perfect for each other and please omer brother take care of my Aila” I said with a smile. And he said “ sure she's my wife now and it's my duty to protect her” he see aila with all the passion in the world and I could not be more happier for them.

“So Aila I have to go now and will call you later enjoy your day dear” I said quickly and give her my hug. “No you can't go without eating in my wedding Qasifahh!!” Aila said stubbornly “ it's ok Aila I have to go now I will eat something okay?” “fine uuh” she scowls at me and I walk away from the ballroom and booked a cab.
