Chapter 190 - The Nikah of Powder Blue and Ivory.

The Mehndi (Henna ceremony and one of the most colorful celebrations with dancing music floral decorations and traditional outfits) had begun

"I draw here and no here" Mila said to the mehndi artist as they drew at the back of her hand

"Wawww" Mattie said "So pwetty I want!"

"But you boy not girl" Olga said

"But I like!" Mattie said

"Nunu" Yelena said "Here candy!"

She handed him a sweet and he smiled

Sana sat by the window

She was not joining them

"Baby why aren't you applying henna?" Clara asked

"I sad I go sleep now" Sana said

She stood up

"Baby what wrong?" Zafraan asked

"I hut here my dada my mama not fwreid no more I hut I sad ba ba" Sana said sadly

She sadly waddled away toward the room

Clara sighed sadly

She looked down

Tears rolled down her face

Zafraan looked at her

He wanted to sit beside her but couldn't

He walked away

Clara remained there crying

Meanwhile Hammed sat inside his locked room

He had written Fariha's name on his palm with henna

His phone suddenly received a picture from his bride

He opened it

His eyes immediately softened when he saw the henna on her hands

He smiled

Then he sent her a picture of his own palm with her name written beautifully across it

Mr Jameel sat in his office

Hammed entered

"You call?" Hammed asked

"Yes Please help me with these files" Mr Jameel said

Hammed sat beside his father

Together they began working

Hours passed

They continued working throughout the night

By the time it was 3:45 AM both of them were exhausted

They eventually fell asleep in the office

The next morning arrived

Today was the wedding day

The Nikah (The Islamic marriage ceremony The bride and groom accept the marriage contract in the presence of witnesses and the mehr is established)

Fariha woke up very very happy

Lily sat down

Ramira slowly walked toward her

"Madam c…can I please sit here?" she asked

"Why ask Sit dear" Lily said

Ramira sat down

"I want to please you for Vishal ji He has been locked up for twelve days now and he is in pain Please forgive him I beg you"

Ramira folded her hands

Tears came down her face

Lilith wiped her tears

"I got to know how he was brought up No mother figure in his life For your sake I will release him Are you both divorced?"

Ramira shook her head

"W…we are still married" she whispered

"Second chance or divorce?" Lilith asked

Ramira remembered Vishal's words

It was love at first sight

I still love you

His words echoed in her mind

"S…second chance" Ramira whispered

"I am here for you If he tries anything tell me" Lilith said

"Nora!" she called

"Yes Boss!" Nora answered

"Nora Tell the girls to bring him here"

"Yes Boss!"

The girls opened the cage

They dragged Vishal out

Then they poured water over him

Dr Kelvin immediately began treating his wounds

"Come on Come on Come Come!" Lily said

She wore a Dusty Rose Jamawar Kameez

The veil covered her head

Guests began arriving

Mrs Qamar and Mr Hafeezur welcomed them

Nikolai held his daughter

She wore a little white dress

Ramira entered Vishal's room

She saw him sleeping

She quietly sat beside him

She covered him

He whined in his sleep

"My Mira" he whispered

Ramira gently patted his head

Then she left

Hammed entered

He wore an exceptionally refined ivory white Pakistani sherwani made from luxurious silk with a long structured royal silhouette and subtle tonal embroidery across the entire garment

The sherwani featured intricate ivory threadwork silver zari delicate pearl accents and restrained antique gold detailing inspired by traditional Mughal architecture and royal floral motifs

The collar front placket cuffs and hem carried elaborate embroidery while the rest of the sherwani remained softly patterned to preserve an elegant sophisticated appearance

Underneath he wore an ivory white silk kurta with matching tailored trousers

A luxurious ivory jamawar shawl was draped over one shoulder

The groom completed the ensemble with ivory embroidered khussa a refined jeweled brooch an elegant traditional watch a signet ring and an ivory white turban decorated with a sophisticated pearl and polki kalgi

He looked like a modern royal prince

"Hiii Meed!!!" Mila said, waving

Hammed picked her up and kissed her cheeks

"Hello cupcake" he said

Mila began blabbering excitedly to him

The men sat down on the left while the women sat on the right

Lily and Mrs Qamar held Fariha

Her face was completely covered by the veil

She wore an exquisite ivory white Pakistani Nikah ensemble inspired by timeless Mughal royalty

Her luxurious ivory white heavily embroidered peshwas was crafted from soft silk and velvet with a long flowing silhouette and delicate layers creating elegant regal movement

The entire outfit was adorned with intricate silver zari ivory threadwork pearls crystals and subtle antique gold embroidery

The embroidery formed elaborate Mughal floral vines paisley motifs and symmetrical jaal patterns across the bodice sleeves and hem

The neckline was modest and beautifully framed with hand sewn pearls and crystal detailing

Her fitted sleeves extended to the wrists with heavily embroidered cuffs

A magnificent ivory white organza dupatta was draped completely over her head and face keeping her face fully covered with a delicate sheer veil

The veil fell gracefully over her shoulders and down her back

It was decorated with tiny pearls scattered crystals and an elaborate embroidered border creating a mysterious ethereal appearance

She wore an ornate pearl and polki style bridal choker layered necklaces chandelier earrings a delicate maang tikka partially visible beneath the veil pearl bangles jeweled rings and an elegant passa

Her ivory white khussa was embellished with pearls crystals and delicate silver embroidery completing her graceful royal appearance

Lily kissed her forehead

"Thank you so very much Amma" Farhid said

Lilith wiped her tears

"My beautiful girl" she said

She sat beside her

And so the wedding began

The duas prayers and lecture were completed

Then it was time for Qubool Hai (The bride and groom express their acceptance of the marriage traditionally by saying "Qubool hai" three times)

"Do you Hammed Jameel accept Fariha Hafeezur as your lawful wife?" the Imam asked

"Qubool Hai Qubool Hai Qubool Hai" Hammed said

(I do I do I do)

Everyone cheered

The Imam turned toward Fariha

"And do you Fariha Hafeezur accept Hammed Jameel as your husband?"

"Qubool Hai Qubool Hai Qubool Hai" Fariha said

(I do I do I do)

"Stop the wedding!"

A voice suddenly rang through the hall

Everyone turned

Mehwish stood at the entrance

Beside her was her mother Mrs Asghari Begum

Hammed stared at them

"Hammed You slept with my daughter and got her pregnant and now you're getting married!?" Mrs Asghari demanded

"What?" Lilith said

Fariha's eyes widened beneath her veil

"What the hell are you talking about!?" Hammed demanded

"Last night I came to talk to you and you were drunk You forced yourself on me" Mehwish said while crying

Mr Jameel immediately stepped forward

"By what time?"

"It was 9:08 PM last night" Mehwish answered

Fariha looked devastated

"Jaan?" Hammed whispered

Fariha suddenly ran upstairs

"FARI!"

Hammed immediately followed her

Fariha slammed the door

"Fari Please open the door Jaan!" Hammed pleaded

Inside the room Fariha was crying

"Hold on" Lily said

"She…" Hammed began

"Calm down Move aside" Lily said

Hammed stepped aside

She approached the door

"Baby Open the door It's me love" Lilith said

"Amma" Fariha whispered

The door slowly opened

Lilith entered

The door closed behind her

Hammed stood outside crying

His anger slowly took over him

Mr Jameel turned toward Mehwish

"Mehwish Hammed didn't sleep in his room last night He was with me until three in the morning He helped me with some deals and projects So why are you lying on his wedding day?"

Mehwish became nervous

Hammed eventually came back downstairs

He brought out his gun and shot Mehwish in the leg

"AH!" she screamed

"HOW DARE YOU!" Hammed shouted

The Bratva immediately grabbed him

"Calm down bro!" Emil shouted

"You bitch! You fucking RUINED MY WEDDING!" Hammed screamed

Nikolai immediately covered Mila's face

She covered her ears

"You and Mehwish were meant to get married not you getting married to another Your mother wouldn't—" Mrs Asghari began

"MOTHER WILL NEVER!" Hammed shouted

"That's enough" Nikolai said

Hammed's tears came down

He screamed

Then he punched the wall

"This is fucked up" Juan said

"No kidding" Xemila said

"Why did you lie?" Bibi asked

"He's mine He meant to marry me not her He just left us and came back after all these years to get married to her Why is that Huh!?" Mehwish demanded while holding her leg

Hammed was taken away toward the hall

"Because he loves her" Mrs Nargis said

Everyone became quiet

"Fariha was the one who brought him home to us The way he looks at her like she's his world And she did things none of us could do for him"

Lilith brought Fariha downstairs

Fariha sniffed

"Diya" Charvi said

Charvi held Fariha gently

Lilith slowly walked toward Mehwish

"Nobody makes my daughter cry"

Her voice became colder

"Nobody makes all my children cry"

She stepped closer

"And you dared make my Hani CRY!"

Lily grabbed Mehwish by the neck and lifted her from the floor against the wall

Nikolai's eyes widened

"Oh no…" Addison whispered

"Wow This tiny woman has incredible strength" Osyth said

"Boss Press the wound Add some salt" Madison said with a grin

"P…Please forgive me" Mehwish begged

"Please let my daughter go We leave" Mrs Asghari said while dropping to her knees

Mrs Qamar held Fariha

"Ammi" Fariha whispered

"Shhh" Mrs Qamar soothed

"GET OUT!" Lilith shouted

She threw Mehwish away from her

Both mother and daughter were dragged out

Hammed stood there with his hands covering his face

"Everyone out now" Lily said

The Bratva looked at each other

"OUT!"

They flinched and quickly ran out

Hammed sniffed

"Walk to the hall There Go Just go" Lily said

Hammed wiped his tears

With heavy steps he walked toward the hall

Lilith watched him before slowly walking away

Hammed opened the doors

Then he heard the sweetest voice

He looked around

Behind the veils Fariha moved gracefully

Then she began singing

"Mere humdum mere saajan meri jaan tum ho

Meri har dua ka haseen armaan tum ho

Teri aankhon mein mujhe apna jahaan milta hai

Tere saath hi dil ko sukoon milta hai"

(My beloved my companion my love you are the one I cherish

You are the beautiful wish in every prayer of mine

In your eyes I find my whole world

With you my heart finally finds peace)

Hammed stood frozen

Fariha continued

"Chand bhi sharmaaye jab tum mere paas aao

Phool bhi mehkaaye jab tum muskuraao

Teri baahon mein meri duniya simat jaaye

Tera naam loon toh dil mera khil jaaye"

(Even the moon becomes shy when you come near me

Even the flowers seem to bloom when you smile

My whole world comes together in your embrace

When I say your name my heart blossoms)

Her voice echoed throughout the hall

"Tum meri mohabbat tum mera khwaab ho

Meri zindagi ka sabse haseen jawaab ho

Kal tak thi main tanha apni raahon mein

Aaj tum ho mere saath meri panaahon mein"

(You are my love and you are my dream

You are the most beautiful answer in my life

Until yesterday I walked my paths alone

Today you are beside me and I have found my safe place with you)

Hammed's eyes filled with tears

"Tere liye sajti hoon tere liye muskuraati hoon

Har subah teri yaadon se jag jaati hoon

Meri mehndi mein tera naam saja hai

Mere dil ne bas tujhe apna banaya hai"

(I adorn myself for you and I smile for you

Every morning I wake with thoughts of you

Your name is beautifully written in my henna

My heart has chosen only you as its own)

Fariha stepped slowly through the veils

"Aaj se meri har khushi tumhare naam hai

Meri har dhadkan mein tumhara hi paighaam hai

Jo safar humne milkar aaj shuru kiya

Woh safar mohabbat ka umr bhar rahe sada"

(From today every happiness of mine carries your name

Your message lives within every beat of my heart

The journey we have begun together today

May this journey of love remain with us throughout our lives)

She continued

"Mere saajan mere humsafar mere raazdaar

Tum ho mere dil ke sabse kareeb yaar

Rab se bas itni si dua maangti hoon

Har janam mein tumhe hi apna humsafar maangti hoon"

(My beloved my companion my keeper of my secrets

You are the one closest to my heart

I ask God for only one simple prayer

That in every lifetime I may have you as my companion)

Then she sang softly

"Tum mere ho tum mere ho

Dil se kehti hoon tum mere ho

Saari duniya se keh doon aaj

Mere saajan tum hi mera pyaar

Tere sang jeena tere sang marna

Tera haath pakad ke har raah pe chalna

Aaj dulhan hoon kal bhi teri rahungi

Meri mohabbat sada tumhari rahungi"

(You are mine you are mine

From my heart I say that you are mine

Today I would tell the whole world

My beloved you are my love

To live with you and to leave this world with you

To hold your hand and walk every road beside you

Today I am your bride and tomorrow I will still be yours

My love will always belong to you)

Then she finished

"Mere humdum mere saajan meri jaan tum ho

Meri duniya meri mohabbat meri pehchaan tum ho"

(My beloved my companion my love you are the one I cherish

You are my world my love and the very essence of who I am)

Fariha walked toward him

Hammed's tears came down

"Fariha" he whispered

His bride had just sung for him

"Jaan?" he said

Her face remained covered

He reached both his hands toward her

She threw the flowers into the air with a giggle

Then she slowly placed her soft hands into his

For the first time she touched a man

Not just any man

Her husband

Hammed had dreamed of this moment from the day he first laid his eyes on her

He gently kissed her hands

Then he lifted her veil

Their eyes never left each other

He slowly lifted her niqab

He smiled while tears still filled his eyes

"Ya Allah" Hammed whispered

Both of them hugged tightly

It was their first hug as husband and wife

Flowers poured over them

Hammed held her tightly

"I'm sorry sweetheart" he whispered

Fariha wiped his tears

"No more tears please" she said

He chuckled at her adorable expression

"I love you Fari I will cherish you forever Till even death takes me I will love you forever" Hammed said

She hugged him

He held her close

A veil covered them both as flowers continued falling around them

Fariha then hugged Lilith

"Thank you Ammi I love you so much" she said

Lilith's tears came down

"Ba Ba Hani See you twoooo!" Mila said while waving at them

Hammed sat Fariha down

She waved toward them

Nikolai held Lily

She wiped her tears

The car drove away

Everyone eventually went back inside

The night wind wrapped itself around the mansion

Ten minutes later Hammed brought his wife home

The relatives congratulated him

Fariha was taken to Hammed's room

After three minutes Hammed opened the door

"Jaan?" he said

"Hmm?" she hummed in reply

He walked inside while taking off his suit

"I wanted to—"

He stopped

He saw her

She was wearing a black satin nightgown with thin shoulder straps and pink lace detail on the chest

A bow rested on the left shoulder

There was a slit on the right side with a bow decoration

Lace accents decorated the bottom edge

She smiled at him

He grinned

He walked toward her

"Not so shy now aren't you huh?" he teased

She blushed

He gently cupped her face

He pulled her into a deep slow kiss

Then he lifted her into his strong arms

They fell onto the bed together

He kissed her while taking off his pants and his boxers used his dick to penetrate slowly Ouch….Farhia said Sorry Jaan(love) it gonna hurt for sometimes he said she grip his shoulders tightly as he thrust slowly filled with love passion Ohh…..She moaned her fingers

Dug into his hair they slowly made love.

They began their married life together with love tendernesstag and the happiness of finally becoming husband and wife

The night remained theirs

Their wedding day had finally become real

And after everything they had faced

Hammed and Fariha were finally together

As husband and wife
