Aleena's pov
after shopping and stuff, I decide to pay a visit to a holy shrine namely as baba barchi bahadur dargah as it was 15 minutes away from our mansion and I also had a habit to pray before started a new work or welcome new person now let me tell you about holy shrine that I mentioned Baba Barchi Bahadur Dargah is a 600-year-old Sufi shrine that welcomes people of all religions to come, pray, and pay respects to the "Baba" Barchi Bahadur. so I dressed in kameez shalwar and covered my forehead with a dupatta( for those who don't know what is kameez shalwar it is a full-sleeved below knee dress with slits on both sides and salwar is like tights just that it is loose and doesn't stick with our legs and a dupatta its a long scarf to cover your forehead with). after dressing up I did wudu a practice followed by Muslims to rinse their hands face knees and neck and wet their forehead with water as it pure a person from evil and also keeps the germs away. I decided to take my bicycle along to get their early and also covered my face using a veil as I was the daughter of a famous business tycoon. after a few minutes of rides, I arrived at the holy shrine and bought the necessary items for holy shrines such as flowers, sugar, incense, and a candle and chadar. chadar is a piece of cloth placed on the grave to cover it and to show respect to the Sufi or the holy person buried there. after entering there I saw there was a qawwali session going on as well and many people were there quickly went toward the grave and there asked the guy who was the helper to cover the grave with flowers and chadar and burned the incense around the grave and recited a few holy verses of Quran and then prayed
" Oh Allah I don't know if t is written or wrong to come here to make a wish but I heard holy people are a portal that makes our wishes reach early to you if that's true then I wish nothing more than the well being of my family and to keep them happy and protect them from evil, oh Allah please accept my wish if it is good for me and the rest of all matter on you to choose what is best for me"
after praying I burned the candle I brought and distributed some money amongst the poor and while I was distributing money I accidentally bumped with someone his face and forehead was covered but his eyes were of hazel color and he had thick eyelashes his eyes was the most mesmerizing thing I have ever seen I quickly threw those thoughts out of my mind and quickly said
"I am sorry "
"it's ok just see where you are going, lady "
" excuse it was not my fault you should see where you are going, mister "
"whatever "
after the mister's snide remark we both started walking in the opposite direction when I heard a pious person say few words
"your paths are separated today but they will meet soon and get split again in such a way that you both will face each hurdle together but will not get together you both will not full fill your destiny until one deceit and will sacrifice something precious to get love back. today you extremely hate each other till no extent but a time will come that you will limitlessly love each other "
I heard to that person's words thought about it a few seconds but it didn't make any sense at that time I got a call from tayiba
" hello tayiba "
"Hi Aleena, where are you?"
"I came to holy shrine what happened? is everything okay ?"
"yes for now but you need to come home early "
"why?"
"well dads business flight arrived early so you need to come back soon"
" ok ill come in 7 minutes "
after that ended my call and went home after arriving I used the pipe as ladder and climbed the pipe to reach my room as it was just next to my window. as I jumped in tayiba and Shahnaz gasped and sai
"for god sake sister why don't you use the first door "
"I wanted to use the door but I couldn't as I know mom and dad were waiting for downstairs to give a whole lecture on that I should be getting ready instead of going to shrine etc "
" so you decided to give us a fright "
"I didn't intend to do that "
at that point tayiba said
" alright girls we need to get ready so can we continue or you want to fight "
"ok let's continue "
I quickly went to washroom took a quick shower and wore the red half-sleeved dress with golden legging and red heals with hints of gold on it I dress my hair and curled the in wavy form and put some cream on my face applied eyeliner and mascara and peach lipstick and applied and I was ready and said
" girl s I am ready. do you need some help?"
" no," they both said
"ok then I am going downstairs to help mom"
after reaching downstairs I went to the kitchen to see if mom need any help
" mom do you need help with anything ?"
" no sweetheart"
"ok mom"
"listen Aleena "
"yes mom"
"you look pretty but why did you wear leggings"
" mom you know that I don't feel comfortable wearing a dress without leggings "
"ok I wnt force you to remove them but try not to wear them again "
" ill try mom but no promises "
"ok Aleena can you go check on your brother and dad as the guests are about to arrive and they need to be there for the welcome"
"sure mom will do"
I quickly went to dads room where my brother and dad was getting ready I knocked the door and entered and saw that my dad and brother both were wearing black suits with black shoes and had Rado watch on their hands, to be honest, they look hot and today dad and Ryan both look as brothers rather than father and son. dad raised an eyebrow id to ask why was I there.
" dad, mom send me here to check me on you guys to see if you both were ready"
' as you see Aleena we are ready. how do I look?"
"you look, good dad"
I said and Ryan pouted as he didn't get any complement to imagine a handsome guy pouting it looks really funny. I try to control my laughter and said
" you look good as well Ryan"
"Thanks, sister "
"by the way, I remembered mom said that guest is about to arrive so you both need to get downstairs to welcome them"
"After getting them downstairs I went to check on girls "
"girls are you ready?"
"yes "they both shouted
"ok control we will get downstairs soon"
at that time we heard the horn and got to know that the guests have arrived and we decided to go downstairs
