Third person's POV :-

Here comes down the white marble stairs, bride of Shahzaib ahmed mirza. Covering her porcelain figure in white silky detailed anarkali (Long frock), decorated in jewelries made by the best designers of jaipur, covering her beauty in red drop gorgeous dupatta which has taj mahal beautifully karigarh (design) on it with immense attraction at the bottom.

"Beta, sit here." Rukhsar said to farah. She sat firmly, casted her eyes down.

The beating of hearts are aware by each other here and there, the people who will be soon tied in the beautiful knote called, nikah.

"Shall we start the nikah?" Kazi sahab asked.

"Ji Bismillah karein (Yes, start with the name of Allah)" Rehmat said to him.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Shahnoor came running.

"Shahno, you are late!" Rukhsar said in a stern voice.

"Sorry ammi, I was applying surma(kohl) in Shahzaib bhai's eyes." Shahnoor said.

"Okay, now sit here." Her mother said.

"Shahno! sit next to me." Farah said with insisting eyes.

"Okay." She said with a smile and sat next to her sister.

"Shall we start now?" Kazi sahab asked.

"Yes,please." Farah's mother rehmat said.

"Bismillahi rahmani raheem (Starting with the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful, and compansionate) , Beti (daughter) Now I am going start the procedure, you have to say your consent, okay?" Kazi sahab asked farah, she nodded.

"Farah zuber khan wald zuber hussain khan waliden Rehmat zuber khan, aapka nikah Shahzaib ahmed mirza wald Ahmed akram mirza se 1 crore meher, Ra-azzul waqt mukarrar kya jarraha hai, kiya aapko yeh nikah qubool hai? (Farah zuber khan daughter of Zuber hussain Khan and Rehmat zuber khan, your marriage is getting fixed with Shahzaib ahmed mirza son of Ahmed Akram Mirza with the concession of 1 crore rupees as meher, do you accept this marriage?" Kazi sahab asked in thick voice.

Her eyes shivered hearing those words, tears pooled her hazel orbs. Hearing those words is dream of thousands of girls but when she heard it, it doesn't felt like he is asking for her consent but announcing the decision. She wanted to run away, far from this suffocation and fake smiles.It wasn't just her who cried hearing those words but her mother who knows what she is putting her daughter into, after all she is her mother.Her chachi cried as well cause chachi is not just aunt by the relation but a mother as well, and last but not the least her bestie, her sister, her shahno cried for her sister's happiness, asking Allah for help.A help which Allah needs to grant her sister now, may Allah helps the one who is unaware of eachother but still getting tied in to a beautiful knote.

'Allah, please help me.' Farah thought.

A hand that she felt on her's, made her come out of her shattering world.She look towards her right,

"Say yes farah."Her sister said to her with a reassuring smile.

"You are with me na?" Farah asked her sister with a sudden urge.

"I am always there for you my sis, I'll always protect you." Shahnoor said to her sister with a promising smile.

Farah nodded and closed her eyes, giving permission to her meseries to flow down. Clutching her sister's hand, she said,

"Q-qubool hai. (I do)"

"Kiya aapko yeh nikah qubool hai? (do you accept this marriage?)" Kazi sahab asked for 2nd consent.

'I really love you farah, do you love me too?' Azam's voice ranged in her ears

'You have to do it for me farah, marry him.I promise I won't leave you, I will soon come to take you.' He said last night when they talked for the last time before she becomes someone's wife.

"Qubool hai. (I do)" She said as her lover's face flash in front of her.

"Kiya aapko yeh nikah qubool hai? (do you accept this marriage?)" Kazi sahab asked for last consent.

'You will do it na, for me?' Azam asked last night.

"Qubool hai. (I do)" She said lastly loosing her self and cried while hugging her sister.

"MUBARAK HO! MUBARAK HO! ( CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS!)" Everyone congratulated eachother.

Shahzaib's POV :-

We walked inside the badi masjid (mosque) of jaipur.All the mens gathered around me as I sat in the centre.Kazi sahab started the procedure with the name of Allah, than he started asking for my consent,

"Shahzaib Ahmed mirza wald Ahmed akram mirza, Zuber hussain Khan aur rehmat zuber khan apni beti Farah zuber khan ko aapke nikah me de rahe hai, kiya aapko yeh nikah qubool hai? ( Shahzaib ahmed mirza son of Ahmed Akram Mirza, Zuber hussain Khan and Rehmat zuber khan gives their daughter Farah zuber khan in your marriage, do you accept this marriage?)" Kazi sahab asked.

The day I have been waited for, the moment I asked from Allah thousand of times in my prayers is happening right here.I could not ask for anything more than this.

'I'll always shield you from worries and problems.' I thought.

"Qubool hai. (I do)" I said with a big smile dancing on my lips."

"Kiya aapko yeh nikah qubool hai? (do you accept this marriage?)" Kazi sahab asked for 2nd consent.

'I will love you uncontrollably, will nurture you in my love. Inshallah you will also love me back.'

"Qubool hai. (I do)" I said again.

"Kiya aapko yeh nikah qubool hai? (do you accept this marriage?)" Kazi sahab asked for last consent.

'You will be mine, only mine.No one else will have any right on you, just me.'

"Qubool hai. (I do)" I said for the last time.

"MUBARAK HO! MUBARAK HO! ( CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS!)" Everyone congratulated me hugging and giving their blessings.

Farah's POV :-

We came back inside the palace, they led me towards a different hall in the palace. It was decorated with white lilies and purple orchids.In the centre where I am sitting right now was decorated separately with a love seat of white colour and silver ends.The wall behind me has lights hanging till the end. Everyone is gathered around me .

My face was covered with the same beautiful red veil, the one he designed for me.When I said those words and accepted him, I felt different, very different. When kazi sahab considered him my husband, I felt like a very heavy rock being fallen on me.

Allah please help me.

Shahzaib's POV :-

"Is my son ready?" Raees uncle asked as he entered my room.

"Yes uncle, all~ready." Akib said with a grin and shifted a side, so that uncle can look at me.

"Mashallah - Mashallah! You look like a arab prince." He said looking at my attire.

"Its abba's thobe(a garment which is mostly weared in arab country) uncle, he wore it in his nikah. Although he can't attend my nikah now but atleast because of this I can feel him with me." I said to him with a smile, he smiled widely patting my shoulder.

"Shahzaib bhai, you called me?" Shahnoor said while coming in but halt at her tracks when she saw me.Her eyes roamed on my dressup and mouth wide open.

"Baccha?" I called, smiling at her expression.

"Yes bhai?" She asked clearing her throat while blinking her eyes.

"I have called you because I want you to be with me from now till the wedding reception, than you can join farah for ruqhsati(bidding farewell to the bride)." I said.

"Why?" She asked.

"Because...Because may be I don't have any particular reason for now, but if this one would be okay than I'll want you by my side as my family and besides that there is no girl from my side." I said trailing off the reason.

"But Shahzaib bhai, I have to be with farah. She is getting more emotional as ruqhsati is near and what about ammi and baba, would they be okay with this?" She said in a pressured tone.

"I know what you are talking about, don't worry I am here to protect you. My mens were trained differently baccha, They are not like what you think. And I have already talked to your parents, they have no problem with this.Now for farah, don't worry about her we'll soon claim her on our side...in sometime." I explained her, well that was rare of me but yet I have to give some explanation to keep her beside me.

"Is that okay?" I asked with a smile, she smiled back and nodded.

"Mubarak ho dulha bhai. (Congratulations groom brother)" She said while a tear flowed down her cheek, I wiped away that crystal drop with my hands.

"From now on you and your sister don't need to cry anymore." I said, her smile widen still her tears didn't stop.

"Now tell me, how am I looking?" I asked.

"Mashallah, just like my sister's prince." She said while adjusting the thobe.

"Now your bride is anxiously waiting for you, let's not make her wait anymore. Shall we?" She said with a big smile.I nodded.

"Woah! You are looking beautiful!" Firoz came out of nowhere and said.

"How can Shahzaib bhai look beautiful? He is a male not female, so he looks handsome na." Shahnoor said to him.

"Idiot, I am not talking about bhai but you, you are looking beautiful." He said, making her shock as her cheeks turned into crimson and her eyes casted down.

"Firoz! Stay in your limits, I don't want you to be this free with shahnoor." I said.

"O-okay bhai, I am sorry shahno." He said while rubbing his neck nervously.

"I-its okay." She said slowly, I hold her right hand with my left one, making her look at me.

"Shall we go now?" I ask, she smile lightly and nodded.

Third person's POV :-

Clutching her hands together in feelings of anxiety, nervousness, depression, farah waited for the function to end soon which is doing nothing but suffocating her.

On the other hand, The bride's sister, her now brother-in-laws, and husband came to claim the bride with the last consent, finally as Mrs.Farah Shahzaib Mirza.

🎵Ishq wo bala hai (2x), jisko chuaa isne wo jala hai,
Dil se hota hai shuru (2x) per kambakht sar per chada hai,
Kabhi khudse, kabhi khuda se, kabhi zamane se lada hai,
Itna huaa badnaam phir bhi har zubaan pe ada hai...

Ishq kii saazishein, ishq ki baaziyaan, hara main khelke do dilon ka juaa..🎵(please listen to the song while reading)

He entered the hall, his eyes fixed on his destination forgetting the world around him, he walk towards her.

🎵kyun tune meri fursat ki, kyun dil me itni harqat thi, ishaq me itni barqat thi ,
Yeh tune kiya kya~
Kyun ab maara maara main, chaand se bichda tara mein, Dil se itna kyun haara main,
Yeh tune kiya kya ~ 🎵

"She is looking beautiful, right?" Shahnoor asked her brother-in-law with a big smile.

"Yes, just like..." He trailed off still looking at her.

"Like?" Shahnoor asked.

"Mine." He completed.

🎵Saari duniya se jeetke main aaya hu idhar, tere aage bhi na hara kya tune kiya asar, main dil ka raaz kehta hu ki jab jab saansein leta hu, tera hi naam leta hu,
Yeh tune kiya kya ~ 🎵

He reached in front of her, everyone shifted aside letting the bride and groom take the spotlight. She look up at him with shivering and teary eyes.He forwarded his right hand in front of her.She look at his hand than him, he signaled with his eyes to hold his hand with a soft smile, which she saw for the first time.She look towards her sister, Shahnoor nodded her head reassuringly. She look back at his hand and slowly placed her small hand in his large one. He gripped her hand firmly and placed a light peck on it, than he sat next to her.

"Kazi sahab is here." Raees said.

"Assalamu alaikum." Kazi sahab greeted.

"Walaikum assalam." Raees said.

"Shall we start now?" Kazi sahab asked, raees nodded.

Kazi sahab opened the folder which has nikah papers in it, than he placed the papers in front of Shahzaib.

"You both now have to sign the papers, after this you will be husband and wife according to shariah (Muslim community)." Kazi sahab said with a smile.

Shahnoor handed both of them pens.
Shahzaib first signed the papers, sealing his faith with the girl he love.

"Now beti (daughter) you sign them." Kazi sahab said to farah.

She hold the pen with hundred of thoughts roaming in her mind, and with shivering hand she sealed her faith depending on her one and only creator, Allah.
