"Ab Iss Iztiraar Ki Koi
Toh Dawa Karey!
Naa Karey Koi Dua...
Magar... Baddua Naa Karey!!"

"No. I want to get married to Hoor. I will marry only Hoor, no one else." Daniyal replied confidently holding his mother's gaze making her disappointed while Imran and Tamkinat smiled happily. Daniyal looked at his father and his father nods his head as long as everyone is okay with it.

"Why? She isn't even working like Kinza and what does she have that Kinza doesn't?" his mother questioned him feeling disappointed that Hoor isn't like the daughter-in-law which she wanted. She always wanted a daughter-in-law who works, who has a name in society for herself, a status.

"She has my heart Ammi and she will have the status of being Daniyal's wife. You will love her too. Please accept her with an open mind and with open arms of love." Daniyal replied knowing about Hoor, the Hoor who always cares for the people she loves, she always kept her wishes aside just to make others happy.

He wanted to give her all the love of the world which she deserves. He noticed how no one ever knew what she likes and how no one cared that she always kept her family wishes first than herself. He wanted to make her his, in every way and he wanted to make her life colourful.

"Okay. Only for your happiness." his mother replied trusting his son as his son neither disappointed her with anything nor he demanded something from her. He wants to get married to Hoor and she will fulfil his one demand he ever asked.

Daniyal kissed his mother's forehead lovingly feeling blessed and Tamkinat started talking about how happy she is to have Hoor in her home. Imran smiled at his brother feeling happy that his brother took a step.

"You are getting engaged." As soon as Hoor got up from her sleep, she heard Uzma's voice. She shrugged it off thinking she might be pranking her to wake her up from the bed. She rubbed her eyes lazily looking at the wall clock. She went towards washroom to complete her chores ignoring Uzma.
"I said you are getting engaged." Uzma shouted once again looking at Hoor making her halt from brushing her hair.

"I heard that and trust me, it's a bad joke." Hoor replied tying her hair in a ponytail. She applied strawberry lip gloss blocking the sensations she experienced of his lips on hers last night.

"I am not joking and you are getting engaged to Daniyal today. You will get married to him after a week and rukhsati will be done on the same day. After three days we will have Nayeem and Tamkinat's marriage." Uzma replied feeling happy for her friend who deserved every happiness of the world according to her.

"We have a lot of shopping to do and don't worry your engagement dress has already arrived and soon your Ammi will bring it to your room and about your Nikah dress, I heard that Daniyal Jiju himself selected it especially keeping his interest in it."

Listening everything from Uzma, Hoor froze at her place feeling obscure of her emotions. She can't believe that Daniyal was ready to get married to her who is nothing in front of him. Lots of people rejected her claiming she doesn't have a job according to the new generation rules and some were rejected her for being fat.

She felt like a dream and soon it will get shattered. She closed her eyes, pinched herself but still she can see Uzma and the room of her door opened revealing her engagement dress carried by her mother with a large smile adorned on her lips which she saw first time after 4 years towards her.

The Nikah day:

Hoor was looking like a fairy in her maroon coloured lehenga choli which Daniyal selected for the Nikah, her favourite colour. She doesn't know how Daniyal knew about her favourite colour and she didn't have any idea who told him all the information about her. After the engagement, she received a fish tank filled with golden jellyfishes and 2 parrots like she always wanted to have.

She was astonished seeing them and she kept kissing that fish tank and the parrots, feeling his love towards her. The other day, she received a Watch with a note

"The Watch is a promise of time that I will spend every second thinking about you and I will always keep you first as my priority".

She blushed heavily reading his note and the next day she received 2 boxes filled with bangles of the colours she liked with a note read.,

"I always want to hear the chiming of bangles in your hand making my heart to flutter and to drive me crazy, always to make you mine"

Then she received her Nikah lehenga with maroon bangles and Kundan jewellery from him with a note which made her restless and her heart kept beating rapidly;

"Mere Dil ki Dua ho tum,
Apne Dil mein thori si jagah Do.
Bas tumhari Mohabbat aur
Sirf Tumhara saath chahiye Qayamat tak"

A few happy tears leaked from her eyes feeling ecstatic and she knew why she cried that day when Daniyal left her from his arms. She was in love with him from the first sight. She couldn't wait to say her love to him. She was afraid to lose him from her life.
