Its 4pm and guests have started arriving and this made me sick.

Ofcourse

" Dont worry girl . We will rock. In sha Allah" Suddenly she hears a manly voice of Daniyal

" In sha Allah. But Im so nervous. Its more like a live concert infront of hundreds of famous and powerful people. I know its nothing for you but for me its like having soup in Pakistan's summer."

He tries to hide his smile.

" Aleena trust me you're far good. "

Palwasha comes with her desi avatar. She is actually greeting everyone. Being bridal sister isnt easy job to do.

" Aleena come. Let me introduce you with my school friends." Palwasha said

" You must be kidding me. She is not in condition to meet your friends." Daniyal said that in amusing manner.

I dont know why is it so easy to know about my heart things?

" It can be seen through your eyes Aleena." Dainyal said

"What ? " Aleena is a bit shocked by his response. She literally shouted it.

" Anyone can examine you due to your eyes. Your eyes speak more than your lips. " Daniyal said.

This is quite new for me.

" Okay guys no more chitchat. On the floor. You guys need to be there."

I sighed . Why me ?

" Okay cousin."

" All the best guys. In sha Allah you will rock." Palwasha says " And Aleena dont freak out. You will be mind blowing as you are in Sir David's class." she said last line quiet amusingly. Just to make me feel little more comfortable. So I simply give her a stare.

" Thank-you-so-much-Palwasha" I responsed annouyingly.

She left us alone. We are heading towards the stage and trust me every step I take , making my legs more timid. After the performaces there will be mehndi and ubtan. So lets hope for the best.

Few steps far from the stages. My legs are more likely jelly. I.am.so.damn.nervous. I hate Palwasha for this :/

" Aleena?"

"Yeah , Im here." i replied to Daniyal. " Dont worry Im not running anywhere".

" Haha. I know you're much head strong girl."

" Should I consider it one of positive traits of Personality?"

"Well upto you girl. Now Cmon lets go. We are next."

He.is.so..arrrghhhh. Why everyone is so....? Huh. I give up. Im annoyed right now and I know it.

Hold your breath ladies and gentlemen. Time for the stars of tonight. Non other than Aleena Daniyal. Put your hands up for them.

Oh My God! Im next.

"Come Aleena. Its us."

I was frozen at my place.

"Aleenaa"?

"Aleeenaaa ! Cmonn girl. Lets goooo"

" Aleena? " he shakes me while taking my name. " Aleena dont worry you will rock. I know you are damn good in it. Dont be nervous. We will be TOGETHER rock there. Come with me." he showed me his hand to give him mine. I gave mine into his and step ahead towards stage and i dont know when we reached there. I was so lost in thoughts and feelings.

" Hey everyone" Daniyal says. " Sorry we hold you on wait so long but now wait is over. Aleena and I will bang on Afreen Afreen."

" hellllooooo everyyyonee" i greeted everyone. I dont know , how come I come to that much courage .

" Lets start." Daniyal said to me.

Music plays

Aisa dekha nahi khoob-soorat koyi
Jism jaise ajanta ki moorat koyi
Jism jaise nigaahon pah jaadu koyi
Jism naghmah koyi
Jism khush-bu koyi
Jism jaise mahakti hui chaandani
Jism jaise machalti hui raagini
Jism jaise kih khilta hua ik chaman
Jism jaise kih sooraj ki pahli kiran
Jism tarsha huwa dil-kash o dil-nisheen
Sandaleen sandaleen
Marmareen marmareen

English subtitles:

We've never seen one with such beauty as she
She is the beauty of the sculptured idols of Ajanta
Her beauty has bewitched our gaze
Her beauty is an alluring song
Her beauty is a heady fragrance
Hers is the beauty of scented moonlight
Hers is the beauty of a haunting melody
Hers is the beauty of a blossoming garden
Hers is the beauty of the first light of dawn
Hers is the most exquisitely hewn beauty
Warm and smooth as sandalwood
Pure and delicate as marble

Original lyrics;
Husn-I jaanaan ki ta'reef mumkin nahi
Husn-I jaanaan ki ta'reef mumkin nahi
Aafireen aafireen
Aafireen aafireen
Tu bhi dekhe agar to kahe ham-nisheen
Aafireen aafireen
Aafireen aafireen
Husn-I jaanaan ki ta'reef mumkin nahi
Husn-I jaanaan ki ta'reef mumkin nahi

English subtitles;
It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved
It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her
Creator!
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her
Creator!
Whoever sees her must succumb to her spell
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her
Creator!
Praise to her Creator! Praise to her
Creator!
It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved
It is impossible to describe that beautiful beloved

Aleena's vocal
Jaane kaise baandhe tu ne akhiyon ke
dor
Man mera khincha chala aaya teri orh
Mere chehre ke subh zulfon ki shaam
Mera sab kuchh hai piya ab se tere
naam
Nazron ne teri chhuwa
To hai yih jaadu hua
Hone lagi hoon main haseen

I don't know what enchantment your gaze wrought
My heart became drawn to you irresistibly
The bright dawn of my face, the dusky
twilight of my tresses
All that was mine is now devoted to you
Your eyes met mine
And ever since then a spell has been
woven
I feel that I have become beautiful
Aafreen Aafreen Aafireen
Praise to her Creator!
Praise to her Creator!

Daniyal' vocal. He is singing and looking towards Aleena. Palwasha is similing curiously at them and happy.

Chehra ik phool ki tarh shaadaab hai
Chehra us ka hai ya koyi mahtaab hai
Chehra jaise ghazal chehra jaan-I ghazal
Chehra jaise kali chehra jaise kanwal
Chehra jaise tasawwur bhi tasweer bhi
Chehra ik khaab bhi chehra taa'beer bhi
Chehra koyi alf lailawi daastaan
Chehra ik pal yaqeen chehra ik pal
gumaan
Chehra jaisa ke chehra kaheen bhi nahi
Maah-ru maah-ru mah-jabeen mah-
jabeen

Her face is fresh as a flower
Is it her face in its brilliance or is it the
moon itself?
Her face is sheer poetry
Her face has the beauty of the lotus flower
Her face is an artist's thought and also its translation
Her face is both dream and realisation
Her face is some magical tale
Her face is both certainty and supposition
Her face is like no other seen anywhere
Splendidly luminous, dazzlingly radiant

Daniyal is happy as a Pre-medical student gets an admission in Medical school , A mother meets with his graduated son, A father sees her daughter in bridal dress. Dainyal is unable to hide his emotions.

Husn-I jaanaan ki ta'reef mumkin nahi
It is impossible to describe that beautiful
beloved
Aafreen aafreen
Aafreen aafreen
Aafireen
Praise to her Creator!
Praise to her Creator!

songs end here
*

I cant believe it ! I did it !!!!OmG ! Everyone is clapping and whislting and cheering us. I can also hear *Once one* . Oh my goodness! It is making me nervous with happiness. Palwasha jumps on a stage and hugs me really tight. You know that tight that I have to ask her losen up so that I can breath.

Seriously the performance was really easy. I was just stressing over it.

" Guys you both were so amazing together. You both were so melodious. " Palwasha said this super excitedly, while jumping on the floor.

" Cousin IKR!" Daniyal is in a jolly mood.

" Cousin , dont be over excited about it. Aleena's part is so heavenly. She was the magic of song."Palwasha replied to Daniyal

" Yess! She' s the magic. " daniyal said with a huge smile on his face, enough to make situation awkward for Aleena.

"Thank you guys. I was not that good. I had only few lines. I was just okay. You guys are just ...trying to make me feel fine with that. " I finally got a chance to open my mouth. These two people are definately damn talkative. And its hard to get a chance to talk while they are together.

" Noway Aleena! You dont know . You rocked it . Infact you smashed it."Palwasha said

"Okay . Now shall we go? Himal and ertezah must be waiting for us."

" Oh yeah! Lets go." Palwasha said

*******

We are now at other stage where Ertezah and Himal are sitting . Himal is looking stunning as always. She is actually a traditional bride with less make up and more flowers.

" Aleena you will drop as much oil as you can at Himal's hair." Palwasha said while moving towards stage

Its a tradition to rub some oil at bride's hair and mehndi (Henna) on her hands. After that give a sweet to bride and groom. Give them some money and thats it. That is bascially a mehndi function in Pakistan

" God !You're such an evil girl Palwasha! " she laughs her typically evil laugh

" Aleena definately she is evil. She is a devil of our family." Himal said that as we were standing near by her.

" ssshh Himal. You are not suppose to talk. Please shut up" Palwasha teases Himal again.

" Yeah whatever. " himal says " You will see that little sista"

" yeah yeah. Now dont try to divert us. Let us do our work . Muhahaha"

Palwasha again did her job voilently and she is best in it. The oil was all over Himal's hair. She is literally cursing Palwasha for that. But I was enjoying that and with that I made a promise to myself that I will not invite Palwasha at my wedding for surely.

The function went excellent and everyone was happy and tired. I again rushed to my room after eating my food .
