Arina's POV

I hear the alarm ringing next to my ears, I feel sleepy and exhausted so want to ignore it but then remember that its fajr time so I decide to get up. I try to sit up but fail because of the weight on my leg, I look up to find myself in a room completely different to mine and that's when realization hits me. 

I am no more in my parents house with them. No more Zaid annoying me at the breakfast table and Dad scolding him. I feel a tear drop and wipe it before checking the time. I get off the bed hastily after knowing that the time is running not before taking Adam's huge leg off me.

I proceed towards the toilet to make wudu. Once inside I take my messed up hijab off and let my curls loose while i make my wudu. Then i tie my hair back and fasten the hijab around my head before walking out to grab a prayer mat which alhumdullilah is kept on the coffee table in front of the couches. Subsequent to that I think of waking Adam up for fajr or at least of trying to.

I try hard up to emptying a glass of water to which he just responds with a cuss word and change sides. After those fail attempts I give up but just for now and recite Surah Yaseen and few other surahs.

When the clock struck 7 I get up to take a quick shower and get ready wearing a comfortable outfit because I have to get ready for the Walima in the afternoon anyways.

We both wanted a simple wedding so we didn't really have all the rituals and customs they have in a typical Pakistani/Desi weddings but still even without those rituals it still doesn't look like a simple weddings because of the mothers. We still had Mehendi though.

It was a really fun ritual, I enjoyed a lot and instead of celebrating it separately we did it together in Zeewad mansion but I was on one side of the yard and Adam at the other. Ir was a really fun event with entertainment and the families were mixing well together too my cousins and Adam's cousins also got to meet each other. 

I was wearing  a dress which Mom (Adam's mom) gifted me especially for the mehendi ceremony.

Right now I'm standing in front of the vanity table blow drying my hair while is taking a shower Adam woke up when I came out of the toilet, glared hard at me and rushed to the bathroom after grabbing his clothes from the walk in closet.

Once I'm satisfied with my effort on getting ready and with the outfit and hijab I make my way downstairs to make breakfast. I see the cook making breakfast and Mom helping her so I usher them out even though mom try to stop me saying how i shouldn't cook because its my first day here and all but my stubbornness wins so she kisses me on the forehead and leaves.

I make breakfast for everyone after asking mom their favorites and listing them down. When I'm about to take them into the dining room Alina comes still sleepy and helps me with taking them and setting the table.

On the breakfast table me, Alina and mom have a small chitchat here and there during the breakfast but Adam just sits quietly and nods or talks when have to.

"Hey Arina! Wanna go for a proper house tour now?" Asks Alina while walking towards the living room after breakfast.

"Yeah sure that'd be great! I'd love to check out my home" I say excitedly 

"Ok then C'mon lets go!" she laughs

Adam had left for some important work in office and will be back before Walima to get ready and mom goes to call mama and discuss about the event while Alina gives me a tour of the beautiful house.

Later I spend some time with my Mother in law and we get to know each other more. Alhumdullilah I'm blessed to have her as my mother in law. She is amazing.

When it was Zuhr time me, Alina and mom prayed together in the prayers room upstairs and then Alina takes me to Adam's...I should start calling it our room but that sounds weird. Last night was so weird and uncomfortable sharing a room with a guy.

Anyways, Once we are in the room we see the make up artist and the hair/hijab stylist waiting for us with mom. 

"Arina and Alina both of you get ready because we are leaving for the hall in two hours." Mom smiles 

We both nod and she leaves.

The make up artist starts with her magic on my face which she does really light on my request while Alina converse with the hair/hijab stylist. Once my make up is done me and Alina switch places and the hair/hijab stylist does my hair and than hijab while Alina gets her make up.

Finally the time to put on the dress comes. I am in love with the dress especially the color being Pistachio. 

Alina also gets ready and the Ladies leave after we thank them and walk them to the bedroom door.  Few minutes later when me and Alina are busy talking the door opens and Adam walks in our eyes feet and both of us freeze. 

He looks so good with his disheveled hair coming on his piercing blue eyes and messed up loose tie. I quickly lower my eyes when Alina clears her throat but I see Adam shaking his head and just saunter into the bathroom after grabbing his Tux for the day.

Me and Alina descend downstairs after praying Asr which was hard with the heavy dress on and wait for the others to come downstairs, we get seated in the car and start our short journey to the hall.

Adam's POV

"You're Fired" I screech

"But sir..."

"No ifs and buts! Get the hell out of my office" I reply harshly and she runs out crying

I adjust my tie and slump back on my office chair.

"What did she do now?" Alex asks entering the office 

"She brought me a salad with no olives" I say rolling my eyes

"You kidding me?!" Asks Alex bewildered 

C'mon What is there to be confused about in this! He knows I never have salad without olives.

"Ya know I hate women especially when they make mistakes except my mom and Alina"

"And your wife"

"Shut up I hate her"

"Too bad you are stuck with her and can't use your 'You're Fired' dialogue on her" He smirks

"Whatever"

"Don't you have to go home and get ready for your wa-wali.."

"Walima"

"Yeah that"

"Just call it reception" I say before getting up and leaving the office with him following and catching up.

We part our ways after reaching the parking lot where our cars were parked together and go to our respective homes.

20 Minutes later

I park my Mercedes Benz and walk towards the entrance of the house, I don't see anyone in the living room so proceed towards mom's room knowing she will be present there.

"Hey mom"

"Beta, Learn to say salam properly"

"Sorry! Salaam Mom"

"Better and Waalikum Asalam" she smiles

"How was your day?"

"Amazing Alhumdullilah! Your wife is Awesome!" I smile 

"That's good"

"Ok! Now go and get ready we are leaving soon" she kisses my forehead and I return the gesture before leaving for my room.

I enter my room but stop in my tracks seeing Arina near the sitting on the bed. I stare at her for few seconds.

She looks be..beau... 

I hear Alina clear her throat bringing us back to reality, I shake my head and walk into the bathroom after grabbing my tux.

Once everyone is ready we start our small journey to the hall.
