Nikkah

      Author's note :
Assalam o alaikum dear readers ! Im sorry for late update , couldn't find time earlier. And one Important thing,  as Corona is rising, stay safe everyone please please follow each and every precautionary measure, wear masks regularly and  use disinfectant sprays and sanitizers very frequently.....May Allah keep everyone safe and bless the infected with health Ameen . Fe Aman Allah 💕 ( 2nd last chap perhaps)

Smiling widely , eyes lowered , gracefully seated was none other than the person I wanted the most to be there , but expected the least. I could not decide whether it was my mind playing games or the destiny had  become really kind to me. No wonder he always felt so familiar . I always found him in our neighbourhood cause Baji jaan gave lectures here ...oh so he came to pick her up ! For once, I had forgotten I should not be starting at Na Mehram like this . For once, the feeling of sin had vanished. For once, all other people in the room had vanished. How could that be so ? He could I feel like this ? How could I feel like that for Na Mehram ??
        It should definitely not be so!! Allah has endorsed all the limits only to save us ! He asks us to lower our gazes so not to fall for anyone except for the one  you are destined to ! Here I am hopelessly fallen for a person who is yet Na Mehram ! It would not have been the case probably if I would have controlled my gaze when I stared at him for the first time in the mall ! Maybe just maybe ! Well at the very least Now I have the chance to make this halaal ! Alhamdulillah

    1 Month later
          Surrounded by fragrant petals of red roses , I was sitting in the middle of beautifully decorated bed. In dim lights,the only shimmer ,was of my beaded baby pink and maroon dress. Today I had vowed to be his forever , and Allah had granted me  a real Moomin ,through a simply conducted Nikah in Badshahi Mosque on Baji Sobia's insistence. I still remember how I avoided him after our Nikah date was fixed. I just couldn't meet his gaze. I was happy no doubt but the more dominant feeling was nervousness, and now, I was waiting for him in his room , unable to avoid him anymore....

     The knob of the door turned and my heart began to beat erratically.I lowered my eyes only the footsteps telling me his whereabouts.

  " Assalam o alaikum Muslimah !! " he said reminding the day when he returned my bracelet. I couldn't help but chuckle. How quickly he made me relaxed! He took out a ring and made me wear it. The ring was totally like him simple yet elegant. I raised my gaze to see him engrossed in his thoughts and smiling, but soon he took my hands in his and broke the silence

    " Momi my dear wife! you know when I first saw you I didn't know u were the person I loved to play with .... I didn't know Shaheer was related to you as your fiancé, or perhaps I didn't bother to think how was he related to you. I was elated when your mother came and I recognised you but you immediately left. I found your bracelet and kept it with me to return it to you. Till then I just thought of you as my childhood friend " 
he paused and looked in my eyes , and to my immense pleasure, I could clearly find just "love" in those beautiful eyes!

" But the day you came out of your house in a simple white shawl , that was the time my heart skipped a beat , that was the moment that left me regretting for falling for a Na Mehram ! Still I wasn't able to take you off my mind and feeling of sin was also there .Soon I decided to make it halaal and make the love of my life , my wife! ............Believe me Momi, when a man confesses, either he has fallen too hopelessly or he is just a playboy! Its not easy for us to confess ! Neither it is easy to take a firm decision ,that this is the person we will stay loyal to , throughout our lives ! But in my case, just one moment , just one , was all it took to make me decide with whom I want to spend my whole life !" I couldn't believe what I was hearing , to be loved by the person you love , the feeling is genuinely remarkable

" When I told Ammi , I got to know you were engaged..... I was really heartbroken! I couldn't forgive myself for falling for a person who could never be mine. I prayed and prayed that your thoughts leave my mind , but, no avail. It pained here, right here in my heart,to think that you are someone else's !! Believe me Momi I tried my best to avoid you but instead I bumped into you more, infact you thought I was following you ! And the cherry on top, I landed in your father's office as your senior! My prayers became more intense . I started thinking that I was being punished for falling for a Na Mehram! But then my misery ended finally. The day when Shaheer broke off the engagement I was really happy for which you may call me a selfish person but"

No No , I wasn't sad either because by then perhaps I had fallen for my real destined husband I wanted to scream this out loud but couldn't find any voice

" But Momi Im happy you were engaged when we first met . That made me realise that I never ever want to lose you . That had me cherish your presence in my life more . That will keep reminding me how precious you are to me ! So my dear wife I really love you alot ! Do you Momi feel the same for me ?? "

I was so happy hearing his heartwarming confession that I didn't focus on his question. Seeing me silent he again spoke

" Do you Momi? "

" Huh? Sorry what ? "

" Umm ... I just asked if you feel anything for me?? "

" Moomin .....Do you even know how much courage was required when I came to ask when was your mother coming?? I did it because I had too hopelessly fallen for a Momin who was not leaving my thoughts! A person who was making me feel sinned thinking about him ! A person who made me secretly pray that he would become mine ! A person who taught me how elegant and pious a real Momin can be ! I too love you alot and I desperately wish that I enter Jannah holding your hand as your wife in that life too " I don't know from where the courage came in me to blurt out all this but after I had , I realised what I did , I became red as tomato and he was smiling, a genuine beautiful smile! and next came his beautiful words loaded in Allah's love

" Jannah .... Yes I want to enter Jannah with you ....lets work together for it.....let's pray together for it ! Let's become each other's guide in the path of Allah. Let's dive in the sea of His love together ! Let's put our immense trust in Him , His love and trust each other forever.Let's become true Momin and Momina. Let's read and comprehend Quran together.Let's find His Razaa together. Let's fulfill the purpose of our breaths together... So lets start with our first prayer together, let's go pray Ishaa first , shouldn't we? "

We prayed Isha together and the next morning he woke me up for fajar and went to Mosque. Raising my hands for dua I was wondering how will I ever be able to thank Allah for this gift ? Baji Sobia had become my mother in law and such a pious person had been granted to me as husband ! What more I could ask for in my life partner ? The person who is a real believer inside and out! I pray that my trust never gets broken this time and he stays the same forever! The experiences of past still shake my trust but that will never stop me from praying The belief keeps us all praying that He listens and grants whatever is best for Us . The belief that
