ENGAGEMENT DAY- 2 MONTHS TILL WEDDING
The Edris household was chaotic as usual
except this was a more chaotic situation than ever
Allah knows what would happen on the wedding day
"Nabaahat, pass me that"
"Waarith, stop annoying her"
"People get the flowers!"
"Who is at the hall??"
"Where is my checklist?"
"Where is Saleha?"
"Why are you all in such hurry?"
"Oh shut up! I have work"
they could be heard in the mumbling voices of all the people around
some "Go away" and "Do this" and "Do that" were also there
Finally the preparations were done and dusted and the engagement hall in the Edris mansion was all set
since it was only the immediate families that would attend, the space was enough for a couple of families
Iqra was a nervous wreck, partially because she was going to be the center of attention today and mostly because she had to talk to people
Shumayll on the other hand was not at all dazed by this because he was used to it
what he was dazed with was the fact that he was going to announce to his other immediate families that Iqra was his wife before announcing to the world that she was his and his only
"Why you freaking out?" asked Shumayll, sitting beside her
"I am not" muttered Iqra, rubbing her sweaty palms together
"Uhuh" remarked Shumayll and smiled a little
holding her hand, he turned to her
"its okay, you know" he said and Iqra knew he understood her unspoken words
"I know, its just that i am not ready to meet all of them yet" muttered Iqra and Shumayll chuckled
"They will love you! I know you are scared of the fact that they would not like you- but lets face it, its not like if one person says they don't want you in the family, i will change me decision! Well except it mama said but i know she won't so yeah, you will be with me, till the end" said Shumayll, with passion and sparkles in his eyes that said it were all true
Iqra smiled at him
she knew he always had her back
no matter what
all these years, he had and In Sha Allah he always will
Shumayll grinned mischievously and leaned in to Iqra
"What say, Mrs. Shumayll Edris, a bundle of kisses before getting ready?" he winked and before Iqra could reply, he crashed his lips to hers
The evening came all too quickly, Waarith, Aarib and Aariz were excited but all for different reasons
