Hoorain's POV: -

Beautiful dresses with different colors and designs hang around the boutique.

I admire there beauty from afar as if I touch them and their beauty will be ruined.

A particular pink dress caught my attention. I took it from the rack and start admiring it. The tag on the dress caught my attention and my eyes literally fell out of their sockets when I read the price .

30,000 rupees seriously is this dress made of gold or what.

I put the dress back on its place before walking towards the chairs and settle myself on it.

Api and Anaya were busy changing and trying dresses one after the another before putting them on the counter for the bill.

How many dresses they will wear on one Eid.

Anyway after they brought five to six dresses for themselves and Burhan paid the bill ofcourse we move towards another store which is a jewlery shop and again I stood at the corner trying not to focus on these expensive shining pieces.

After about spending half an hour their we move out and stood in a cafeteria for the refreshments .

I took some money from my purse to buy a bottle of water.

"What are you doing"? I got scared and trun towards the source of voice .

"I... I .. want water".

"Then tell me and I will pay why are you paying it from your money?" Burhan said with his rised eyebrow.

He ordered me to sit with others on the table and he will get all the food.

I took a seat beside Anaya who smile at me making me retrun her gesture.

"Hoorain you didn't buy anything don't you like something for your self" Anaya asked

"Anaya did you forget if we want to buy something we need money for that and that too lots of right sister" I feel ashamed and could feel my eyes tearing up.

"But it was bhai who was paying our bills then why didn't you brought anything?" Anaya asked while looking at Api with a blank expression.

"Anaya dear I have already done my shopping and I have everything which I need " I explain to her in my low voice.

She open her mouth to say something but Burhan came and put three trays of different kind of food on the table.

I only took my water bottle as I don't know what type of these food are.

Yeah weird right but I don't know many dishes as I have never got a chance to taste them except egg burger and potato sandwich that too only in university.

I took a sip from the bottel before securing it with its cap again.

Anaya gave me a sandwich wrapped in a paper. I look at her with gratitude as my heart swell at her sweet gesture . She smile at me sweetly before telling me to eat.

After completing our food we move towards the exit and our next stop is a chaand raat bazzar and honestly I am quite excited about it.

Burhan has to park the car at a distance from the bazzar as the street were really narrow for the car to pass.

We walk through the narrow streets which were full of life. Fairy lights hand on the roof of the shops, vandals trying to invite people with their loud voices.

I watch everything in astonishingly as this is the first time I am seeing a real bazaar.

I saw a shop full of colourful bangles , and my feet automatically move towrds it.

"Bhaiya can you show me that bangles?" I chose a multi colour set of bangles . It will go perfectly on my dress .

"How much is this"? I ask immediately and the smile was not leaving from my face .

After buying the bangles which were just in 500 rupees I become so much happy that when I trun around I found out that I am alone and lost everyone in the crowd and now I start to freak out.

Looking from left to right trying to find the known faces which seem to be a very difficult task.

Tears start to gather in my eyes as it was like this swamp of people will going to eat me up.

"Hoorain"

"Hoorain its fine your are save" suddenly I was pull in a warm embrace and the I immedialy recognize the musky cologne.

"Please don't leave me" my voice was small but desperate.

"Shh! Its fine come clean your tears and don't you dare to leave my hand okay" like a child Burhan scolded me and I obediently nodded my head up and down.

After that little incident I didn't dare to leave Burhan's hand and he also grip it in his tight hold making me feel protected.

He told me that both girls are at a mahindi stall applying mahindi on there hands.

"Go apply it on your hands as well. I will pay for it" Burhan said when we reach at the stall.

"But " I try to protest but Burhan didn't listen to me and at the end of the night my hands were design with beautiful Henna.

We all walked towards the car as ot was already getting late and we have to wake up early in the morning.

My mahindi is still wet so I was cautious not to ruin it.

When we reach to the car I stood there awkwardly as I saw all of them sitting in the car. You see Anaya and Aapi's mahindi was already dry beacuse they have applied it early then me.

Suddenly I saw Burhan opening the door of me . I said a small thankyou before settling myself inside the car but in doings that my chaddar got slipped from my head and know was hanging on my shoulder.

My eyes meet with warm brown ones and without breaking any eye contact he put my chaddar on my head back and round it on my shoulder before putting my hairs behind my ear which were disturbing me.

In all this my heart beats to an abnormal. He didn't dare to break the eye contact but a clearing of a throat brought us out and I saw Aapi glaring at me through the rare view and Anaya was also watching with a scowl on her face.

O Allah what have I done . Mama is going to kill me .

We reach home and move towards our respective rooms. To my relif everybody were already asleep and I got save from scolding.

Eid day

Next day I got ready in my eid suit and wore my jewlery on it as well.

After getting ready I move out of room and walk towards the grand floor where dadi jan and Wajiha mom were busy instructing the maids to make sweet dishes as the man were already gone for eid prayers .

I said my salam and wish them Eid mubarak and start helping them in the preparation.

Half an hour later all man came back and my only puphoo Khadija with her family also came and now the house was full of hustling and bustling with greetings and all.

I took a tray of sheer khawrma as per mama's order before walking out of the kitchen.

I start to server it to everyone. When I reach towards Zubair uncle (Khadija's Husband) he put his hand on my head to give blessings before forwarding an envelope towards me.

"Here take it your Eid" he said with a smile but I didn't take it but instead my eyes were on someone else who was shooting daggers at me and giving me a look of "don't you dare to take it"

I look at uncle again who has frown on his face like he knows what is happening here. I shook my head and try to deni but he forcefully put it in my hand before taking the bowl of sheer khawrma and start eating it while settling himself beside khadija phophoo.

One by one everyone gave me the eidi and I didn't dare to look at mama.

"So as we all are here together then why don't we shall do the bless thing now instead of waiting for another 1 month" dadi jan said but what thing she is talking about . As if reading my mind phophoo asked dadi jan.

"What bless thing you are talking about amma".

Dadi jan smile at that and said

"I am talking about Burhan and Daneen's engagement "

"WHAT!!!" came a loud voice of an angry Zeeshan bhaiy who was full red in anger.

"How could you nani . You promised me that she will be mine but you broke you promise" his breathing were hard and hand clutched in tight fists.

"Yes I promised you but on a condition and seem like you forget it about. Zeeshan bacha try to understand how can I give you Daneen when you don't even have a job" Dadi jan try to reason it but my mind was bland and my heart broke in thousands of pieces.

Ya Allah is this how I am going to loss my love. It would be so painful watching both of them together especially when we are under one roof"

My chain of thoughts broke when I saw uncle Zubair slapping Zeeshan bhaiy hard .

"Is this how you talk and behave to your elders . Apologise know" His authorative voice send shivers to my body.

Seriously I hate intimidate peoples specially who talk in loud voices.

"Sorry Nani and congratulations to Daneen" his voice cracked at the end when he saw Aapi with a broken look.

After two minutes Wajiha mom brought two rings and Api and Burhan exchange the rings and they were offically declared as engaged. But seem like today is the day full of shock as dadi jan's next word tore my world apart.

"After 2 monthes there Nikkah will be done as well as Rukhsati"

*Boom*
