Nuska's pov.

"Sadiya, am I beautiful? Is my makeup okay? Is my Hijab perfect? " I bombarded her with questions.

"Phew... you are asking this for the fourth time and next time if you ask, I am seriously going to kill you" Sadiya said hitting my arm playfully.

"Sorry Sadiya, I am nervous. I want to look good when they see me"

"Don't worry dude. You look pretty MaShaAllah. Now lets go down. They are waiting for us" Sadiya said and pulled me out of the room.

We both went downstairs and once I went closer to them, Zaid's mom hugged and gave me a kiss on my forehead.

"You look beautiful MaShaAllah just like Zaid told me." She whispered in my ears to which I blushed.

"Come and sit with me please." A girl of age 4 pulled me towards her.

"Are you Alishba?" I asked her to which she replied with a yes and kissed my cheeks.

I smiled at her and kissed her cheeks too.

"Nuska, Zaid wants a kiss too. Why not you give him too, If not he is going to cry?" Saad bhai joked to which everyone laughed while I blushed.

"Nuska I am serious. He said that he is going to cry. Look here, he is having tears in his eyes already" Saad joked again and this time I looked at Zaid for the first time in a blushing state.

He smiled at me and I smiled back at him.

Seriously I need to stay away from Saad bhai or else I will have to blush the whole day.

After all the teasing, finally the elders started talking about the waleema and after having a two hours of talk they fixed the waleema two months later.

"I think we should have an engagement ceremony day after tomorrow so that everyone will know that they are married" Hassan uncle suggested.

"Yeah that's a good idea" Dad agreed and after a small discussion about the engagement, we went off to have lunch, obviously prepared by mom and me.

"Jazakallah for the food. It was delicious" Sumaiya Aunt said after having the lunch.

"wa antum fa jazakallahu khairan." Mom replied and they started talking about the engagement which is supposed to be day after tomorrow.

After an hour of talking they left because Zaid had to attend a meeting.

********************

I was staring at the night sky while sitting on the swing located at the left side of the balcony when my phone rang indicating that I have got a message.

I took my phone and saw that there was a message in WhatsApp in my friends' group.

Mariyam: Assalamu Alaikum, Anyone alive?

Hafsa: Walaikum salam. Yes all of us are alive.

Mariyam: Then why is no one sending any messages.

Hafsa: No idea😕

Zaina&Zaira: Walaikum salam. We are alive 😂

Raiha: I am dead 😂

Hafsa: wow. Thats great Raiha. Lets have a party then. What say, girls? 😂

Me: Sureee. I want Biryani please.😂

Me: Walaikum salam Mariyam.

Raiha: Nuska, You want me to die so that you could eat Biryani, Right? 😐

Me: Yes. You are genius, you found that right. So when are you dying?

Raiha: Not before I become 100 years. 😛

Farrah: Idiots I am alive 😴😴

Aamina: me too, alive 😎

Sadiya: I am also alive 😂

Raiha: Sadiya, obviously you will be alive because you was talking to my bro few minutes ago 😂😂

Sadiya: yes so what's your problem, dear sister-in-law? 😛

Raiha: nothing sister-in-law. 🙄

Aamina: Both of you shut up. Nus, what happened today? What did Zaid tell you?

Farrah: yes. What did that idiot tell you?

Me: He didn't talk to me 😭, He only smiled at me 🤗

Me: And the Waleema is after two months but we are having an engagement ceremony day after tomorrow InshaAllah.

Farrah: what? Day after tomorrow and you didn't even tell me. 😐

Me: I told you now, right? And guys please attend my engagement.

Farrah: coming 😏

Zaina&Zaira: sure we will, InshaAllah.

Raiha: well I won't be able to come?  😕

Me: why? 😭

Raiha: Because I have business meetings and am busy with work. 😛

Me: LOL. I wonder where your company is? 🤔

Raiha: It is in Mars 😛

Farrah: Raiha, Nobody forced you to come. If you don't want to come, leave it but I will eat your share of biriyani. Girls, please don't ask I ordered first. 😂😏

Me: Farr, then I am going to eat your share.😂

Raiha: I am coming and I want my biryani too. Especially, I am coming to talk to Zaid Khan.

Me: What do you want to talk to him?

Raiha: I am going to say that I love him. 😉

Me: Lol. Please tell me what you are going to say😭

Raiha: That is for me to know and for you to find out. 🙄

Farrah: I have to definitely talk to that idiot as well. You know, tell him how lucky he is to get married to you 😉😉

Me: Fine. I don't care tell anything you guys want but he will still love me😎

Just as I replied to my friends I got a message from Zaid and seeing that a smile formed in my lips.

Zaid: Assalamu Alaikum dear.
How are you?

Me:Walaikum salam. I am good, Alhamdulillah. How are you?

Zaid: Good to hear and I am good too.

Me: so what's up?

Zaid: Nothing much. Actually I wanted to tell you that you looked beautiful today. I couldn't take my eyes off you 😉

This widen my smile.

Me: Really? 🤔

Zaid: Yes. You were looking gorgeous. But I wonder how can a devil be gorgeous? 😂😉

Me: Lol. Devil's like me are gorgeous 😉

Me: Btw thanks for your compliments.

Zaid: pleasure dear. Thats the reason I like devils like you. 😂

Me: 😂. BTW you didnt look bad either.

Zaid: Thanks 😏

Me: 😉

Zaid: Nuska, actually I have a meeting next week in Switzerland and InshaAllah I will be going. Will you join me? The meeting is only on one day, and the rest of the days we can spend some time together. Please come with me 🙂

What will I tell now?

Me: I would love to join you but I don't know what my parents will tell. 😕

Zaid: I will talk to them and my parents have no problem with you joining me. What say, will you join me? Please.

Me: Okay I will come. InshaAllah. And importantly Abdullah bhai has to agree for this if not I will not come.

Zaid: urgh. Why do you even have an older brother like him? 😭

Me: Don't cry. You have to deal with him no matter what happens.

Zaid: Okay. I will talk to them tomorrow. Especially your idiot brother. 😛

Me: My brother is not an idiot. 😠

Zaid: Then your friend Farrah is an idiot, right? 😉

Me: Yeah she is an idiot but not an idiot like you 😛

Zaid: Fine 😏 I am proud that my wife called me an idiot. You are lucky because not every husband appreciate it, like me 😂

Me: Yeah because you the best husband in the world. 😛

Zaid: I know 😏

Me: Aren't you sleeping?

Zaid: Not yet. You know, Someone is disturbing me when I try to sleep. 😔

Me: who is that? 🤔

Zaid: You. Everytime I try to sleep but your thoughts won't let me sleep.

Me: Really! I didn't know that you think about me. 😛

Zaid: Yes. Everyone doesn't think about devils when they go to sleep like me. 😛

Me: you have no other option darling than thinking about me. Don't even try to think about another girl because if you do I, the devil of yours, will give you a severe punishment. 🔪

Zaid: Got it ma'am. And yeah, you are
only 'my' devil.❤

Me: yeah ❤

Me: I am going to sleep now. Allah Hafiz.

Zaid: Allah Hafiz. Love you ❤❤

Me:Love you too❤❤

Zaid: 😙😙😙😙

Should I reply for this?
I guess no *blushing*

With that I went to bed to have a peaceful sleep hoping my parents will allow me to go on the trip with Zaid.

*********************

Zaid's pov.

"PLEASE Abdullah, I will not do anything to her. I promise I will look after her well" I gave my word but he wouldn't allow Nuska to join me for the trip.

I woke up early and got ready as quickly as possible so that I could meet Nisthar uncle and Abdullah bhai in their company before going to my own.

I have been here for one hour and successfully had convinced Nisthar uncle but not the devil's brother.

Indeed her brother is a devil too😠

Urgh... I wish he wasn't born.

"Abdullah, they are married so its not a problem and I trust that Zaid will look after her well" Nisthar uncle spoke to Abdullah.

"Dad, I know but we can't send them alone, what if the kidnappers hurt them again" Abdullah argued.

I won't leave this place until I convince him.

"Abdullah, I am telling you I will not let anything happen to her. Why don't you trust me?" I asked.

"Zaid, I trust you but I am still scared to allow Nuska to come with you" He said.

"Okay fine. I am leaving then" I said and got up from the chair.

Man, I thought you aren't leaving without convincing Abdullah.

Urgh... I can't do this anymore.

"Zaid, I am okay with it. I mean you can take Nuska with you but I trust you Zaid. There should not be any problems with the kidnappers again" Nisthar uncle said.

"But Abdullah?" I left a question.

"Whatever, you can take her with you but I won't hesitate to kill you if anything happens to her" Abdullah finally gave a green signal, but still unconvinced.

Whatever, convinced or not, he allowed Nuska to go with me. Thats enough for me.

"Thank you and I promise I will protect her from any problems" I said and after bidding goodbye I left the place.

Finally, I am getting some good time to spend with Nuska, my devil.

******************
Ahmad's pov.

"Dad, I want Nuska what are you going to do?" I asked angrily.

How long can I stay away from her?

"Ahmad, Just shut up. You couldn't even win in that small game of chess and now you want Nuska. Nonsense" Dad shouted at me.

"You know why I wanted both of you to play chess?" Dad added.

"Why?" I asked.

"So that if you win, I could demean him infront of everyone saying that he lost in a simple game of chess but you lost and he won. You couldn't even win that game, shame on you. And you saw that girl, she hurt my self respect. I don't want Nuska, I want to hurt them so that my anger calms down." Dad yet again shouted.

"Dad, I want Nuska no matter what happens. You can hurt Zaid, I have no problem with that." I said.

"Then shall we kill Zaid?" Dad asked with a smirk.

"Yes." I agreed.

"If I kill Zaid, Nuska will also get hurt so then I can be happy" Dad said laughing.
