A Love Story

Nikah

A/N- Hey guys! Enjoy this chappy and click that tiny start of you like to read what I write. 😊

All of us happily gathered near the bride and the Qazi (priest) came to Nilufer to perform Nikah. When Qazi started the Nikah prayer Shaad's mom came to me holding a glass of Sherbet and in whispering voice she said, "Iqra, we completely forgot about this..." She showed me the glass and continued, "after Nikah, make Nilufer sip from it and then take this straight to Shyaan. It's the first thing they have to drink and share after their Nikah."

I nodded taking the glass.

Everyone had tears in their eyes as Nilufer Bhabhi recited 'Qubool hai' thrice. I'm the least emotional when it comes to all this. Uhm.. I sat beside the bride and hesitantly offered her the Sherbet. She shook her and her tear strained face glistened. I gulped thinking what should I do. Then Rehan's mom who was sitting next to her said, "Beta, drink it." And she took a sip.

"Take this to your brother now." She told me and I nodded again.

I walked out from the crowded room carefully and climbing down the stairs I reached to Groom's stage. Everyone was standing for dua and I flinched when someone covered my head with my dupatta.

"Where's your manners girl? "

"Shaad! " I whisper yelled nudging him from my elbow.

"Owh! " he whined and before he could took his revenge I showed him the glass that I was holding. He rolled his eyes in defeat and stood beside me joining the prayer.

"Responsibilities and all huh? " he smirked. I just glared at him.

"Control your romance for this period at least." Rehan teased Shaad.

"Shut up both of you! "

"Sherbet? " someone asked.

"Here! " I answered. "Shaad.. " I gestured him to take it to them. He nodded taking the glass from me and made his way to the groom.

Dates were being distributed to all the guest and Shaad came with one in his hand to me.

"You know.. I've heard that whoever eats this dates from the wedding; the get also married get married soon." He smirked, "wanna have? "

I chuckled, "and what about those people who are already married? "

"Okay! Straight to the point! Do I really have to wait for five years for our marriage? You can continue your study after marriage as well ya." He whined.

"Shaad! " I laughed, "You mad? " and walked away.

He followed, "Iqra, come on ya! Don't walk away just like that! "

"What?! " I asked him stopping in middle of the stairs.

"I can't wait that long to make you mine and that also when there are like at least four boys who I KNOW walking around crushing on you. "

"I'm already yours. Everyone knows that, Shaad. " I shook my head continuing my walk.

"Okay! But even if we have to wait for you to complete your studies then also its only two years, then why did you ask to wait for five years? "

"Coz I'm only 18 now and who marries at the age twenty? " I chuckled.

"Your bhabhi did. "

"She wanted to and I don't. " I smiled, "and at what age your sister is got married? "
