Zainab:
While I sat on large king sized decorated bed of Zahid which was ours now while waiting for him a huge smile crept up on my face remembering all incidents one by one.How Allah plans everything?In such an amazing way at it's right time.

Wedding went well all guests had come including all friends and family members they attended all functions I was so nervous since all pairs of eyes were on me but Alhamdulillah Zahids mom and Rehmat always encouraged me.

I immediately looked down when I heard crack of door open.I waited for his entrance, for my husband.A huge step we took together.

I felt someone's presence next to me but din't dare move I had refused anyone to take pictures I wanted him to see me first.

There was total silence until my large hijab was removed from my face and there he saw me but all the while I looked down shyly unable to meet his gaze.

"You know you are allowed to look at me am your husband now,"his deep voice made me shake my head and a finger on my chin made my hand tremble because never had I been close to someone after Hamza's incident.

"You look beautiful may Allah always protect you and keep you safe I want to spend rest of life with you I pray that together we will solve our ups and downs be with eachother step by step and start this relationship with trust,"he said all that and my respect for him grew ten times more he was just amazing.

"Thank you so much I pray to Allah he keeps us together and fill our lives with all happiness and blessings and we should start our new phase by praying two rakaats,"I explained to him while he smiled and nodded he kissed me on my head and cheek.

"Someone is shy and tomato face,"he said while in teasing tone and I knew it he was enjoying it alot.

"Only for me,"he said and my eyes widened who was this romantic Zahid?what happened to old Zahid?

We sat and talked but I thanked him and Allah for everything.

"You know since you came everythig changed in my life,"I said lowly and he moved closer while I put my head on his shoulder and he waited for me to continue.

"Was that in good way or bad?"he asked curiously.

"In the beginning I was hurt alot by your words and actions then I tried to avoid you but all in vain then your mom hated my then I remembered why she hated me all those accusations at office but Alhamdulillah I learnt alot we had our ups and downs and may be Allah wanted me to experience life with you guys so I thank Allah for my beloved late parents and my sister then for you all guys for whatever we plan but Allah plans best,"I told him everything from our childhood to some he remembered to all I went through and he did same he explained to me everything.

"Thank you so much for coming in my life Zainab am sorry I hurted you alot but I will try to bring a smile on your face everyday so let's start by praying first and you can change into comfortable clothes,"he said and I loved him more today for he cared for my opinions he told me we will always support one another.

I changed and he did same while he prayed adhan in his beautiful voice I waited for him to finish then he prayed and I followed him behind we both finished together and recited some prayers.

Next day:
"Wake up Zahid, It's almost 7am,"I was waking him up since ten minutes but all he kept saying was five more minutes.aghhhhh.

I know he won't be going to work for some days since his dad refused him he told him he will handle but that doesn't mean this lazy husband of mine keeps sleeping.

I got an idea.Yes let him sleep and be late downstairs for breakfast then he will answer mom and dad.Serves him right.

"Okey keep sleeping,"I told him and closed the door while I went to help uncle chef prepare breakfast we put everything on table while one by one came and there was no sight of Zahid.

"Mhhh I can smell some delicious food being cooked today,"Zahid's mom said while she sat on table and rest of them joined and waited for Zahid.

"You din't have to cook dear on your first day,"she tokd me the unexpected because I have heard in most houses daughter inlaw cooks on first day.

"No problem aunty I love cooking,"I smiled and said while everyone smiled and there my husband came rushing downstairs and he sat on one of the empty chairs and I sat next to him after serving.

"So tomorrow we have invited some family friends for dinner including Zainul and his fiancee Saadia and if you want to invite anyone else you can I have even invited Hamza,"as soon as she completed Hamza I looked towards Rehmat and all colour was drained from her face she was lost in thought I touched Zahid's hand and he also saw his sister's reaction but we decided to remain silent.

"It will be long night tomorrow InshaaAllah and I hope all goes well,"I thought to myself while we continued eating breakfast.
