Assalamualaikum

______________________

The Moon was gleaming along with the stars above the Syed Mansion.
But the brightness of the Moon seem to be nothing compared to the Queen sitting on the magnificent throne, like the center of attraction, fully glowing in happiness and even making the stars jealous..!!!

Her eyes were scanning the whole area searching for her sister but she was nowhere to be seen..!!

Meanwhile after sometimes Aara was walking towards the stage along with Neha and Saman.

Adaa made a mental note to show her angry mode on each one of them as she was left alone for which felt like forever.

"Are you busy Adi..!??" Aara asked climbing the stage when Adaa just ignored her question like she never existed..!!
"Adii..." Aara shouted slowly.
"WHAT..!??" Adaa asked showing an angry face.
"What happened Adi..!?? You seem like you are angry .!! Did anyone say anything to you..!??" Aara asked not knowing the exact reason why her sister is angry..!!

"Yes..!! I am angry..!! Angry with you 3 idiots..!! Angry with all 3 of you. Never even bothered to come here na..!?? Why now..!!?? I know for sure that you are here to take selfies aren't you..!??" Adaa shouted slowly so that no one will hear.

Three of them exchanged a confused looks among themselves and turned to face Adaa.

"Adaa Di its nothing like that. We were actually up for a prank play between Samra Di and Nabeel Bhai.!!" Saman blurted.

Both Aara and Neha face palmed because they knew what will follow.
A lecture on how to respect elders and How Harami they were..!!

"What..What prank play..!?? Mind to explain.."

& there you go. Without knowing anything Saman went on blabbering about the whole incident like how she went missing..!! And how Samra approached Aara and Neha and how Samra and Nabeel
talked to each other..and so on.

"Ohho... Aara and Neha..!! It was least expected from you both. Is this what you teach to this Small girl." & it continued.

Saman was utterly confused. She didnot understood why Adaa was scolding her sisters.

After the so long lecture, Neha and Aara both apologized for their childish act and promised to not repeat it again.

"Ok Adi.. so now its time for some Groupfie..!!" Aara squealed in joy.

And all the four of them posed stupidly in every click..!!

"Nakhre dekho inki..!! Wallah!! Chalo.. Chalo aajao.. khana tyar hogaya " Mrs Noureen announced.

The menu card held so much of mouth-watering and delicious foods. All the guests were thoroughly enjoying the food!!

After the foods were served! Many people started bidding goodbye one after the other.. conveying wishes to the most beautiful bride tonight.

Now the people who were present in the garden were only the close relatives of Both Syed's and Sheikh's.

Since there should be a ring exchanging ceremony all the people from the gent's side were about to visit the ladies section. Meanwhile Mrs.Noureen announced the same and reminded them to wear their Niqaab..!!

Nabeel entered the ladies section to arrange the chairs along with Ehan and Naman. While Aara, Neha, Samra, Saniya, Mawra and Shaheen were busy talking to Adaa, who was blushing like no tomorrow..!!

"Eham!! Eham!! Ehan bhaiya do one thing..!! Lo yeh chair lo and go sit near Neha Di and stare at her until your heart is filled..!! lelo..!! " Naman said extending a chair to Ehan as he noticed that his bhaiya was starring at Neha Di..!!

In turn Ehan just muttered "aise kuch nhi hein" and left.

Naman felt wacky...!!

"Oh.. Imraan!! I have never seen you like this all talking and smiling!! Rukhne ki naam hi nhi le rahe ho..!! Kya hua bhai!?? Sab teek hein " Abdullah, His friend enquired with amusement.

"Nothing like that " Imraan replied with a smile.

Adaa!! I just want to see you right now.. is that even possible.!?? Panipuri princess..!! Cant wait..!! Imraan thought to himself.

"Have patience Imraan!! Sabr karo!! You are going to be with her forever..!! So if they are telling you to wait for a few more minutes.. wait..!! " Abdullah said with a naughty smile.

"Huh..!! Nothing..!! Hmm.. what are you talking about..?"

"Imraan, were you thinking you were talking to yourself..?? I heard it!"

For which Imraan just smiled timidly..!!

"Assalamualaikum Imraan " Armaan said.
For which he greeted back and wished Zayn too..!!

"Long day na!?? We are meeting after a decade.. i guess!!" Imraan said to Armaan for which he just nodded.

"How are you Imraan?? Seems like you are excited!!" Zayn enquired with a lop sided smile.

And there you go.. with Zayn's company, Abdullah started teasing his friend.

________________________

"Assalamualaikum Adaa" Mrs. Muntaha, Abdullah's wife said.

"Wa alaikum Salaam.. You are Muntaha Bhabhi right..!?? We lastly met at my engagement na!??" Adaa said with a smile.

"Yea... you remember.!! I thought you forgot!!" Mrs.Muntaha said with a smile.

"Aapko kaise bhool sakhti hoon.. Aap tho hamare cute bhabhi ho" Aara said with a smile, For which Mrs.Muntaha went "awww..!!"

"Where is my cute pudding Soha!??" Aara enquired.

"Wo tho ekh jage pe kadi hy nhi rehti.. she is behind the stage doing masti with her other friends" Mrs.Muntaha said almost exhausted.

"Really..!! I will go get her. Come Neha" and both retreated from the stage to meet their cute Soha..!!

SAMS were busy talking to Mrs.Muntaha and Simran. So Saman too joined Neha and Aara.

"Saman.. did Simran bhabhi asked 'where were you..?' " Neha enquired.

"Yeah.. i adjusted by saying I was busy in terrace playing with Soha and her friend Riya " Saman said with a smile.

"Hmm. Not bad!!" Aara appreciated Saman.

"Bhoewww...!!" Aara shouted to drag Soha's attention.

A scared Soha turned to see who it was.. realizing it as her Aarii, she quickly ran towards her.

"Aaarrriiii..." Soha shouted.
( she mixed Aara Di as Aarii ;p )

"How have you been Munni??" Aara asked kneeling down and taking Soha into her lap.

"Good!" She replied with a smile.

Meanwhile Neha and Saman were busy talking to Riya, Soha's friend.

"Baby.. you ate!??" Aara enquired to Soha.

"Hmm.. but I want Ice cream aur Mamma ne kha ki nhi.. ab bas" with sadness etched in her face.

"Aww.. don't tell to anyone. Come I will get you an Ice Cream. "

Soha happily walked with Aara to the place were Ice creams were kept.

"I want vanilla..!! " Soha squealed in joy.
"Aww.. baby!! Even I love Vanilla!!" Aara too squealed with her.

When she noticed some death glares shot towards her by some servers in the stall.. she quickly ordered two ice cream , one for her Soha and the other for herself..!!

On the gent's section, Armaan and Zayn were taking a usual walk on the large garden. They walked in silence. Neither of them talked. They were both happy in each other's company and were thoroughly enjoying it. Disturbing their peaceful silence, they heard a loud noise

"Uncleeee...!!!"

Both Zayn and Armaan turned around to see the owner of the voice..!!

A surprised Armaan shrieked in joy "Soha!!"

Soha came running to her Armaan uncle , throwing off Aara's hand.

A confused Aara dropped both the Ice Cream on the counter and ran behind Soha calling out her name.

"Sweetheart" Armaan called Soha and took her in his arms.

"Hehehehe!!" Soha smiled in joy, while Zayn smiled at Armaan's entirely different behaviour.

"How are you Darling!?? I missed you!!" Armaan said pouting out.

In return, Soha just smiled.

Aara was not knowing what to do. Whether or not to go there.
Even though she had her Niqaab on.. still she was in a confusion.

Making up her mind, she took calculated steps towards Soha at the Garden.

Little did she knew that the person she is going to meet right now is her charming prince ..!!

"Munnii!!" Aara called Soha. But instead both Armaan and Zayn turned around with a shocking expression..!!

"Aarrii..!!"

"Munni..!! Come"

Armaan slowly bend down and released Soha from his arms. Smilingly she looked at Armaan and ran back to Aara.

Armaan kept watching Soha, running off cutely with a smile plastered on his face.

"Aarii.. hehehe" Soha smiled naughtily at Aara, for which Aara smiled back saying "chalo "

While walking Aara asked
"Aap to uncle ko bye nhi bola!!"

"Ayy..!!" Soha said with a cute expression and the very next moment she ran back to Armaan calling "Uncleee!!"

Armaan walked towards Soha on seeing her coming back.

"Come here uncle.. come here "
Soha demanded Armaan to bend.

On bending, Soha planted a soft kiss on Armaan's cheek and waved bye. A surprised Armaan kissed Soha on her forehead.

"And for me..!!??" Zayn asked to Soha for which she said a stern 'No'

Armaan smiled mockingly at Zayn..!!

Aara suppressed her laughter and waved at Soha to come.

On waving bye to her uncle she ran back to Aara again!!

Both Aara and Soha, on collecting back their ice creams from the counter, they entered the ladie's section.

"So cute!!" Armaan declared.

"Who !?? Soha or Aarii!??" Zayn asked with a naughty expression.

"Who is Aarii..!??"

"The girl who came with your Sweetheart..!! Soha called her as Aarii..!! Aise bi naam ho sakta hy.. I never knew!"

"Oh.. i didn't notice..!! I was talking about Soha"

"Oh.. like really!?? Do I have to believe in your lies. You were gawking at her while she came calling Soha..!"

"Zayn!! How cheap!?? I just looked at her because she called Soha as 'Munni'. Even I used to call my Soha 'Munni'!!"

Then it struck to him.

Uffo Zayn.. you keep on reminding him of Soha!!

Armaan was in complete silence when Zayn stood there helplessly..without knowing what to do. And he noticed Soha was coming their way with the same girl whom she called 'Aarii'

To change his mood Zayn stated "see.. see.. your Aarii is coming..!!"

Armaan looked at the direction Zayn was pointing to and noticed them..!!

Aara stood infront of Armaan and Zayn with Soha and Naman.

"What happened!??" Zayn asked looking at three of them.

"Huh!! Soha's hairband" Aara said in low voice.

Armaan looked with an 'oh!' expression on the ground and noticed Soha's hairband.

He took the hairband from below and extended it to a smiling Soha!!

They were about to leave when Zayn blurted out
"Aapki asli naam Aarii hy?? "

Aara turned around to face Zayn and looked at him with a puzzled expression. Zayn repeated his question again when Aara replied " nahin!! I am Aara Syed, Soha mixed up Aara Di as Aarii"

"Oh..!! Iss ka naam Armaan Qureshi hein! Aap isko RQ bula sakte hein" Zayn said to Aara in a teasing manner.

For split second Aara looked at Armaan and he looked back too. Lowering her gaze, she just nodded and walked back with Soha and Naman.

"Zayn..!! Are you mad!?? Don't you have sense. What was the non-sense you said to her right now??" Armaan shouted soon after they left.

"What.!?? I was just telling her to call you RQ. Is that wrong!??" Zayn asked with a lop sided smile.

"Zayn!! Just buzz off!!"
Armaan shouted and walked away.

"Arrey..!! " Zayn went behind Armaan fearing a massive row!!

_________________________

The Men's from the gent's section started visiting the Ladie's section and took their respective seats.

"Adii.. bhaiya is coming!!" Aara announced slowly to Adaa.

Hearing that Adaa froze on her place. She was having a blank expression on her face mashed with happiness, nervousness, and what not!! Aara noticed it and said
"Seems like someone is blushing!!"
And what followed was a round of laughter.. Adaa being the center of attraction..!! :D

Soon after Aara, Neha and Saman stepped down of the stage .. Imraan climbed the stage along with Nabeel and Mr.Nauman.

With Imraan's each step closer.. Adaa's heartbeat grew faster. It seems like her cheeks had got its permanent colour..!!

She stood up from her King-sized throne and fixed her gaze on her hands which was busy twisting her dress..!!

"Assalamualaikum" Imraan said slowly. His voice really made an impact on her.

"Wa alaikum Salaam" she meekly replied.

"Kaise ho?" He asked when she just shook her head, her gaze still fixed on her hands.

"Beta.. Wear this ring to her. " Mrs. Asna Sheikh, his mother said.

Taking the ring from his mother, he slowly took hold of Adaa's cold hand and wore her the beautiful diamond ring.
Adaa was engulfed with fear by his unexpected touch!!

She just smiled. But it went unnoticed as she had wore a Niqaab.

A smile for her dream coming true..!!
A smile for standing infront of her Mystery Man..!!
A smile for everything she is blessed with..!!

Mr.Nauman Syed hugged his son in-law and his daughter with glassy eyes. He took hold of his daughter's hand and smiled at her. Both of them couldn't control themselves. Colourless tears were flowing from their eyes.

Keeping his daughter's trembling hand upon his son in-law, he said "Take good care of my daughter as she is my little princess. Don't ever make her cry beta and after all she is a human, please do forgive all her short comings, respect her feelings , and love her. Nothing much is needed. I am indeed handing you a part of myself. Take good care of her
beta"

"Ameen. In Shaa Allah Abba, You don't worry at all. I will surely take good care of Adaa. And I promise you that I will never hurt her or make her cry Abba. Yeh pakka wala promise hein " Imraan said with an assuring smile.

Adaa slowly lifted up her head to look at her smiling Imraan, who inturn assured her by squeezing her hand a little. A smile of assurance. She felt a little relieved.

Eventually the bride and her groom stepped off the stage and were bidding goodbye to all the members of bride's family.

Next was Aara who stood there with glassy eyes and chins down facing the ground, scared to even face anyone. With Neha next to her, she just took hold of Neha's hands and tightened her grip.

"Aaru..!!" Adaa called her sister.

No response!!

"Aaru..!!" She called her again.

Without even looking at her face, Aara lunge forward to hug her sister. They both cried profusely.

"Adii.. I will miss you. I love you !! I am sorry for all the mistake i did. I am sorry to always annoy you. Adii.. take good care of yourself. I really love you..!! "
Aara's voice cracked.

Parting away her sister, Adaa wiped away her sister's tear and smiled at her with tears in her eyes.

Turning towards Imraan, Aara said "Bhaiya, I really love her. Don't make her cry and love her a lot. Support her and always be with her. She is not like other girl who love shopping and other girly stuffs. Your simple assuring smile means a lot to her. Bhaiya, she is my Di.. Take care of her..
Please.."

"Aara dear, you don't worry at all. Your sister is my responsibility now. I will love her more than you all loved her. I promise you. And you can visit your sister whenever you want.. there are no restrictions. Okay!?? Now give your sister a beautiful smile!!"
Imraan said with a elegant smile etched on his face.

A smiling Aara hugged her sister for the last time..!!

"Asna.." Mrs.Saba called out for Imraan's mother.

"Saba, you don't worry at all. Your daughter is my daughter too. We will surely keep her happy. No matter what.. Adaa is my daughter now on. She will be well taken care off " Mrs. Asna said with an assuring smile.

Both Mr. Nauman and Mr. Saqib walked towards parking lot with complete silence.

"Nauman, fikr mad karo.. thumhare beti , hamare beti jaise hy.. teek hy!!" Mr. Saqib, Imraan's father said to Mr.Nauman.

Mr.Nauman shook is head affirmatively with a content look.

With trembling lips Adaa bid adieu to her Mother.
"Beti.. khayol rako..!! Ro mad.. zindagi ky shurwaath karne wale ho.. khushi se shuruvaath karo "

Noddingly she said "In Shaa Allah Allah Hafeez Maa" and hugged her mom.

After bidding Goodbye to all, she walked towards the parking lot with glassy eyes and heart filled with agony for being separated from her family.

Suddenly someone took hold of her cold hand, with a jerk she turned back to see a smiling Imraan with an asssuring one. She tightened her grip, and they both walked towards his car.

Adaa turned back to see her family for the last time..!!

Imraan opened the car's door for his panipuri princess to step in. Once she was in he stepped in too..!!

The car then drove off to their destination.

Sheikh villa.

Adaa sobbed silently inside the car. Imraan looked at her with sympathy filled in his eyes.
He took hold of her hand and squeezed it.
"Adaa.. dear!! Stop crying.!! Its ok. Your tears are really tearing me apart. Everything will be alright." Imraan said and took her hand in his.

Flashing her beautiful smile, she kept her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Her heart was filled with joy and she kept on muttering Alhamdulillah under her breath for giving her, her Smiling Man.. Her Angelic Hero..!!

Imraan smiled seeing her beautiful smile and added
"Adaa.. You are looking stunning tonight!!"
