SAAD'S POV: Dreams, love, desires, happiness, satisfaction, excitement.. And what not? I was loaded with uncountable and unexpressed emotions. "Saad, please take care of my daughter." Ateeq uncle and Aunty requested, Aubty was shadding tears on the farewells of her only daughter but uncle was worried. "Don't worry, from now onwards She is my responsibility." I replied and Uncle smiled with satisfaction. I was just watching the whole scenee silently, Rimsha's face was covered with the vail, only her lips and chin were visible from sheer fabric. Her red coated lips were giving race to my heart. I was dying to saw her as my bride. I hopped in the car, beside my bride. "Rimsha, this is the best day of my life," I whispered in her ear and I saw a smirk on her lips. I held her hand firmly with intertwined fingers but she didn't firm her grip. Zuhaib was driving the car and Simra was on the front passenger. I wanted Rimsha to hold my hand but she didn't. 'Is she feeling shy or angry?' I though but quickly forget about it. Freeing her hand and drew my mobile out from my pocket. 'MAAZ YOU HAVEN'T COME TO ATTEND THE WEDDING CEREMONY, BUT YOU HAVE TO ATTEND THE  RECEPTION.' I sent text to Maaz, somewhere in my heart I wanted that Maaz and Rimsha Saw each other and accept the reality, Now Rimsha is my wife and Maaz does not belongs to her. Sometimes, reality check is must. <><><><><> We reached the home and I opened the door for her. She out her leg to went out from the car but. "Stop.. Stop.." Simra stopped Rimsha to came out from the car and I looked at her with confusion. "Saad bhai carry your bride, this is the ritual of our home, groom carry the bride then entered home." Simra chants and I smiled. "Ammi please smile naa..." I whispered in her ear she was standing beside me, she just glare me and turned her face to other side. "Your Daughter-in-law will not go inside until you smiles." I said after holding her hands and she again glared at me. Ugh it's difficult to handle my mother. "Do you really care about my choice or my ofendedness?" she still was angry with me but i nodded like a good boy. "Mummy please, be happy it's bhai's wedding," Samra demanded after wrapping her arms around mummy's neck and she glared at me, but soon I detected a small smile on her face. "Take your bride inside," She ordered me with fake anger and I smiled at her words. 'My bride. My Rimsha' my heart was blooming like a fresh rose. "Slipping my an arm under her knees and other around her back I lifted her in my arms, her face was still covered with vail. Only her lips were visible, which I was dying kiss. But I just smile and focus on the way to living room, Her both hands were resting on my chest, there were four stairs to entered the main house, when I stepped on the stair she suddenly grabbed my coat in her fists, a smiled captured my lips. "Don't worry I'll not let you fall, Ever" Stress on ever, I said to consolidate our bond but she freed my coat, the very next moment. I made her sat on sofa of living room and found her hands were holding each other. I took my seat beside her. "I'll sit with Saad Mama" Zain demanded Simra in his cute voice, but she refused. "Come here" I beckoned Zain and jumped out from his mother's arms. I made him sat between both of us. "Saad Mama (uncle) who is she?" The cute little boy asked pointing towards Rimsha "She is your mami (aunty)" I replied and he smiled "Mami I'm Zain," the little boy passed his hand to shake but Rimsha didn't held that. "Rimsha he is just two and half, he don't know about all the situations of our life." I whispered in her ear and she held Zain's hand, I smiled on that. "Hello," She whispered and Zain peeped inside her vail. "Do you like your Mami?" I asked after lifting Zain in my arm and he nodded with his toothie smile. "Saad Bhai what are you doing here? Go and wait in guest room," Simra said and I narrowed my eyes on her. "But why?" I asked but didn't got any reply. "Come Saad Bhaiii," Samra literally dragged me out of the living room and everyone was giggling on my condition. There were many rituals had to be done and I wasn't allowed there so I was in guest room with Zuhaib, some of my cousins and friends. All those moments were full of restlessness for me. "Saad bhai" Simra Call me and I came out of guest room. "You can go to your room, now." Simra said and I nodded with a smile. My heart was jumping differently, I was dying to saw Rimsha as my bride, It was just like that a dream came true. "Not so easily" Samra was standing on the door of my room, she said and Simra also joint her. They both didn't let me go inside. "What is this?" I asked with confusion "You have to give us naig, only then you can go inside" Samra said after resting her hand in door. "Fine" Drawing out my wallet I Put that on her Palm. "Take all, but return me the wallet and my cards" I replied and she looked at me with dropped Jaws. "Bhai you are..." I didn't let them say what they were saying and dragged them to other side. I entered the room which was filled with different coloured flowers and candles. Simra and Samra were gawking me but they both went from there, and I looked the door behind me. My Rimsha, my love was sitting on the bed covering her face with the same vail. Sitting in front of her I drew out the ring from my pocket. "Rimsha, today I have right to hold you in my arms, I was waiting for this time since long ago" Saying that I lift her vail. "You are Looking beautiful, more than my imagination" I said the truth from bottom of my heart, but she was sitting like a statue as if she didn't had any trace of life in her. I was amazed to see her as like that. Leaning towards her I kissed her forehead. "Maaz" Her whispering voice worked as a dagger which shredded my heart into many pieces. I suddenly moved back and looked at her, her gaze was fixed on sheet and lips were mumbling continously. 'Not now Rimsha, please... I can't tolerate this anymore in my life' I said to myself, but my gaze was fixed on Rimsha who was still sitting as a statue. "Rimsha" I pronounced her name but she didn't moved a single inch. "Rimshaaa" I shaked her shoulder. "Hmm.." <><><><> RIMSHA'S POV: "Foziya your daughter-in-law is very beautiful, Saad is very lucky" One of the lady told Saad's mother. They all were treating like a show piece who was placed in the show case and everyone was invited there to saw me. "Rimsha Bhabhi is also lucky to got my Saad bhai, he is crazy for her," Simra said with chuckle 'Luck and Rimsha! Not a combination at all, I don't have any single trace of luck with me. First I lost my Love, and he marry with Rabiya. Then he said we have to forget each other, which was impossible for me until I'm alive. Wasn't all those things enough in my life to make that harder? Now this new relationship! Now I'm Saad's wife. I never wanted to marry with anyone else except Maaz but... ' I was saying that to myself when Samra and Simra came to me. "Bhabhi come with me." Simra said and she held my hand. They both lead me the way to Saad's bedroom. "Samra go and check if Zain is sleeping or not?" Simra said to Samra and she went out from the room. "Bhabhi call me if you need anything, please don't hesitate" Simra said and  made me sat on the bed, she lifted my vail and gave me water, which I needed at that time. I gulped and passed the empty glass to her. "Saad bhai loves you very much, he will not give you any problem in your life, you also give his same love in return and you both will be happy" Simra said after while sitting in front of me. She smiled and pulled my vail to cover my face again "I'm sending Saad bhai" She said And switched off the lights and soon she was out from the room. I lift my vail and saw the room with was fulled with flowers and candles. My hands were unable to hold the weight of my vail and soon dropped down with a jolt. My vision was blurred with due to tears but soon my eyes gulped that, my eyes were fixed on sheet and my mind was recalling the time which I have spent with Maaz. *Flashback* "You know what, Rimsha I'm planning to shift in New home after marriage, I want to spend all my time only with you." Maaz said and I nodded with a smile. "That will be good." I replied and hugged him as he did so. "Which type of home you want?" He asked me while braking the hug "I beautiful house, with a big bedroom..." He didn't let me complete and smirked while wrapping his arm around my neck. "Our bedroom." He whispered with a wink and I smiled. "Yes our bedroom and our home." I said happily after resting my head on his arm, and he kissed my forehead. "Maaz our families are agree, I can't believe this" I said excitedly "Believe it my love, believe it, its only ten days to go," Maaz said and I nodded with a smile. "Maaz, from tomorrow we won't be able to meet," I said with a down face. "Don't be sad, it's for only ten  days, after that we will never be separated." Maaz whispered and I felt his hot lips on my cheek, then on another cheek, which made my heart skipped a beat. I lowered my gaze with a smile. And when I looked at him he was looking at me, he leaned down to my lips and I closed my eyes, our noses where touching with each other and his hot breath was fencing my face and neck giving me different sensation in my lower half. "It's only ten days left, meri Jaan. Let's leave this for after marriage," Maaz said while caressing my lower lip with his thumb and I smiled with a lower gaze. Before moving back he nuzzled his nose against my cheek and I smiled. "Only ten days Maaz," I said dreamily with a satisfied smiled. "Then you  will be Mrs Rimsha Maa.." *Flashback over* "Rimshaaa..." "Hmm"  I got out from my trance after Saad shook my shoulder. "Rimsha, I love you, it's like a dream come true for me, to have you as my wife..." ============== To be continued... ============== Naig: Gift or money as a ritual ===============
