(The perfect knot-Advice to wives)

The red fiery rays of the sun dissapated, a soft orange glow outlined the horizon, the wind blew molecules of sand towards various directions, the waves that had been calm now began to hurtle against one another, the sky blanketed with dense clouds. The guests began congratulating the couple , departing before the sky poured down its blessings onto the parched earth.

Khair stood outside the ladies tent, waiting for Safwa to greet her family, before she left them and stepped into a new chapter of her life, a life of commitment, responsibilities, a life filled with new experiences and adventures with her better half.

A few moments later , Safwa walked out with her family in tow, Khadija and Samiha stood on either side of her , wiping away her tears and reassuring her that she had a beautiful journey ahead...in Sha Allah.
Razaq took hold of his daughters hand , kissed her forehead, as her eyes pooled once again with tears, he held Safwa's hand and placed it into Khair's awaiting hand.

"My dear son , I have protected and looked after this precious pearl of mine, whilst she still remains my pearl, you now have a greater right over her , protect her, look after her and always make sure she has that shinning smile , that melts any heart."

He then turned to Safwa,
" My beloved daughter, you've grown so fast , and you've grown into a beautiful woman, make sure that you fulfill the rights of your husband , serve him and always keep him happy."

He then addressed both of them.
" Most importantly you both should be mindful about the commandments of Allah Ta'allah and adopt Taqwa at all times. I make dua to Allah Ta'allah to bless your marriage and grant you pious offspring."
Zaid gave his daughter a watery smile, as he bid his daughter farewell.

The newly wed couple settled into the car , recited their dua for embarking on a journey, hearts soaring in happiness, faces adorned with ecstatic smiles, they drove off into the sunset witnessing the sun dissappear , and the moon make its appearence , illuminating the night sky with its brilliance.

A gust of wind blew through the kitchen window and past Safwa, sligthtly calming down her hammering heart. She breathed in and out, she didn't know why she was so nervous about this , it was no big deal...right ?

Riiiight !

She was damn scared that Khair would not like her food. She inhaled and exhaled, attempting to calm her nerves but, to no avail. She was extremely nervous and a tad bit worried , not that she didn't know how to cook, she was afraid that Khair wouldn't like the way she cooked.

He trudged into the kitchen , wearing a three quarter shorts and a t-shirt , his hair slightly messy , a smile on his face , a sparkle of appreciation in his eyes. It felt so good to see Safwa in the kitchen , clad in a two toned blue and black dress , an apron tied around her curvy figure , a scarf wrapped loosely around her head , cooking up a storm that filled the flat with a delicious aroma , causing his tummy to grumble in anticipation.

She gave him a nervous smile , as he approached her and wrapped his arms around her, taking in the sweet scent of her shampoo. She lowered her eyes in shyness , her tummy erupted with a thousand butterflies, and tingles spread throughout her body , causing her cheeks to flush crimson.

Khair chuckled at her cute reaction, appreciating the effect he had on her, he kissed the top of her head. Loosening his arms from around her, he placed his forearms on the table , his chin on his knuckles , he observed her cooking , unaware of how nervous he made her feel.

"Umm ...ahem ", Safwa cleared her throat awkwardly.

"Can you please not watch me , you kinda making me nervous".

Khair chuckled. " oh I'm sorry".
He smiled at her , then plopped himself on the couch, still able to see his shy wife in the kitchen.

Safwa pouted. "No I mean like ...dont watch me at all , not even from a distance."

Khair nodded , with a mishevious smile on his face , he grabbed a cushion and brought it infront of his face, but not so discreetly peeked from the side of the cushion.

Safwa shook her head , she huffed showing annoyance, she quickly turned her back to him in order to hide her smile , his cuteness was going to be the death of her.

She felt his presence behind her , once again he hugged her from behind , giving her a jittery feeling. He whispered softly ." I'm sorry for making you nervous. You know I'm not a grouchy old man who complains for everything , I'm sure your food will be fine. Neither am I a gluttonous person , I'm not such a big eater so don't stress."

Safwa smiled at him appreciatively.

"Speaking of food , when will it be done ? This delicious smell is wafting past my nose , the aroma is causing my taste buds to swell in anticipation, my tummy is rumbling , screaming for food ! It needs to be satiated".
He patted his stomach dramatically.

She giggled at his antics , this was a new side of him she was witnessing, a cute , carefree side that made her want to pinch his cheeks and coo at his cuteness , she resisted the urge to grab his cheeks. Instead she gave him an incredulous look. She glanced at the watch that read 11: 30.
"We just ate two hours ago and you already hungry."

"Well you see the jumble of nerves that had erupted in my stomach caused my appetite to be lost yesterday, even though there had been delicious looking things that I could have relished , I had no appetite and the main reason for that was I was extremely impatient to see my wife and take her home!"

She smiled shyly , unable to respond being so close in proximity. He pecked her forehead , then walked away humming to himself.

With a goofy smile on her face , she completed her cooking. Her heart swelled in happiness , she could get used to living with a man like him , and she looked forward to spending the rest of her life with this amazing man.
