Assalamu alayekum everyone! Ok so this is the longest chapter I have ever written. And and and I have a Surprise for you all in this chapter! So read fast! Please Vote and Comment. I love to read your comments! 

Kehara is walking down the stairs. Her father called her down so she is going to the living room. Before leaving the room she was thinking about the conversation she had with Addy, one day before she said Yes to Aman.

"Kehara did  you decide what you are going to do?" 

"No Addy. I'm so confused."

"It's normal. But don't take a lot of time. I'm sure Aman is dying for your reply."

"Shut up." 

"What!" 

They were quiet for sometime waiting for Amy to come. They are in a coffee shop and Amy went to the washroom. 

"Kehara?"

"Hmm."

"Aman is a really good guy." 

"You met him once!"

"But I have heard so much about him from Noor and you that I feel we are childhood buddies." Kehara laughed and Addy smiled. "Look. You have to get married one or the other day. And you know that. There is no sense in rejecting him. Maybe you won't get such a nice proposal again. See God saved you from that idiot Noman. Now God is giving you something you have never thought of."

Kehara did not allow him to continue and said "Exactly he is too good to be real!"

Addy rolled his eyes and said "From where did you steal this line?"

"From the new book I'm reading."

"Whatever. See God is blessing you with Aman don't reject him because you think you are not worth of him." Kehara looked up and was about to say something when Addy said " Don't lie. You know that is the truth. You think he deserves someone better than you."

"Fine!It is true." 

Addy shook his head and said "You always tell me to believe in Allah. He does everything for a reason. And now you are not trusting him! If he wrote Aman for you that means you both deserve each other. He will never do injustice with Aman. You once told me we should never question Allah and now you are indirectly doing that.Trust Allah and his plan!"

Kehara looked at Addy. She looks like a baby whose chocolate has been stolen by Addy.

"That is my line you cheater."

"You don't have a copy right of that."

They were quiet for few seconds when something hit Addy's mind. He saw Amy coming so he said "Ok listen fast. If you say yes to Aman I promise I will propose Amy in a week." 

"What!?" Kehara could not help but laugh.

"Kehara I'm serious! Tell me fast do you accept this deal or not? And fast Amy is coming." 

Kehara was confused and was not sure what to say. So she started thinking as fast as she could because Amy was almost there. "Ok deal!" Kehara said just before Amy came and sat on her seat. 

It has been three days since she said yes and she can't wait for the day when Addy will propose Amy. As she was about to enter the living room she quickly removed her phone from her pocket and texted Addy a message.

"Don't forget your promise." 

She pressed the send button and made her way into the room. upon her arrival she saw Sufyaan and Khurshid sitting on the couch. They did not look happy and Kehara felt her heart beats going abnormal. 

"What's wrong?" 

"Come sit." Khurshid said and Kehara sat down on the couch opposite to the one they are sitting on.

"Now tell me what is wrong?"

Sufyaan and Khurshid looked at each other then at Kehara. 

"Aman's dad called." Sufyaan said.

By the look on his face she knew whatever Mr khan said is not good. She found lump in her throat. She is scared to know what he said but still she said " Ok. What did he say?" 

"He said, they want you both to get married before your exam. They cannot wait for four-five months." Khurshid said.

Kehara's scared feeling now changed to anger. She frowning she said "What? Daddy there was only one thing I asked for and this is what I get.? 

"Kehara listen."  Khurshid said.

Kehara stood up not able to sit calmly and quietly. She started walking back and forth near the couch she was sitting on. "No I can't do this. Daddy you know how important this semester is. I want to concentrate in that not in my wedding shopping! Daddy I don't understand their rush. And it's only two months before my exam starts. They can't wait for two months?"

"Kehara at least listen to daddy first." Sufyaan said loudly which made Kehara stop and sit down. She looked at her father indicating him to speak.

" Aman's dadajaan is not keeping well from past few months and he thinks he wont be able to make it till your wedding. So he requested you to drop your condition. But if you do not do that they are ready to wait." Khurshid said.

Kehara closed her eyes and covered her face with her hands. She is feeling guilty for thinking the way she did earlier. She is no more angry but sad about the whole thing. She cannot ignore Dadajaan's health because of her studies. She knew she will end up saying yes. But getting married in like a month or a week or in few days scares her.  

"I'm sorry. You both are ok with it?" 

Sufyaan and Khurshid nodded. 

"So Kehara what have you decided?" Sufyaan said. 

"Can I please answer tomorrow?" Kehara said with tears in her eyes. She is scared to get married so soon. But most of all she is scared for Dadajaan. Since the day Aman's parents came to her house she felt as if they were her family now. And after she said yes that feeling increased. She don't want to lose her Dadajaan. Khurshid nodded and Kehara left the room. She opened the door of her room and decided to sleep, not thinking about anything because she already decided what will be her answer. She took her phone out to set the alarm when she saw Addy replied to her message. She opened the whatsapp chat to see his message.

"I don't remember any promise." 

Kehara knows he is just teasing her. 

"Forget about that. We have a new problem." 

***

It was difficult for Kehara to sleep. She was constantly thinking about Dadajaan. She hardly slept for two hours before her phone started ringing. She saw her cousin's missed call. She was about to call her back when she messaged that it was a mistake and she was trying to call someone else.Now She is just aimlessly staring at the ceiling. She is again not able to sleep. She checked the time. It is 4:35. She decided to pray Tahajjud. It is said that when you pray Tahajjud and make a wish it is like that arrow that never miss it's target. After she did wudu she took her prayer mat out and started praying. After she was done she started murmuring Dhikir under her breath. She did that till the time for fajr arrived. once she had made sure her father and brother are awake for fajr she returned to her room to pray fajr. After praying Fajr she sat on the prayer mat constantly praying for Dadajaan. After some time she decided to take a shower. She just came out of the washroom when soemone started banging her door forcefully. She ran to open the door and saw Sufyaan standing.

"Bhai you scared me." 

"Aman's Dadajaan is in the hospital." 

***

Aman is standing out side a hospital room. Suddenly after fajr Dadajaan started sweating and was unable to respond and move. They brought him to the hospital. Now doctors are doing some tests so they asked everyone to leave. Before leaving Dadajaan told them to call or bring Kehara to the hospital. Aman and Mr khan did not want to leave the hospital so they called Khurshid and requested him to bring Kehara to the hospital. Mr and Mrs Khan are with Dadajaan in the room and Noor and Aman are waiting outside. After some ten minutes Aman saw Sufyaan,Khurshid and Kehara coming towards them. He told them what exactly happened. Khurshid has a lot of Medical knowledge so he went inside to help them. Kehara went and sat next to Noor who is crying.Aman and Sufyaan are just standing quietly. 

"Don't worry Noor  InshaAllah he will be fine." Kehara said giving her a side hug. 

"InshaAllah." Noor said wiping her tears. 

They were all quiet for some time. Dadajaan is shifted to a normal room now. They all are with him in his room. He is very weak and is not able to move. 

"Kehara." Dadajaan said trying to lift his hand, pointing towards her. 

Kehara rushed to his side. He smiled when he saw her and she smiled back.

"I have a request for you." 

"Anything Dadajaan." 

"Will you please get married to my silly grandson before I die." 

"Dadajaan!" 

"Abba!" 

Noor,Aman,Kehara,Sufyaan and Mr and Mrs khan shouted together.

"Dadajaan You are fine. InshaAllah you will be out of this hospital soon." 

"InshaAllah" Dadajaan said smiling. "But dear I cannot take a risk. So please." 

"Dadajaan."Aman said coming forward. He did not like that his family is forcing Kehara. He thinks it is not fair to her. He wanted to stop Dadajaan last night but he did not want to upset dadajaan and thought he will handle everything later. But before he could do anything this happened.

 Aman was going to say something when Kehara did not allow him and said "I'm ready Dadajaan." Aman's eyes widened and he looked at Kehara. Kehara looked at him  as well. She closed and then opened her eyes quickly with a nod assuring him that she is fine. Aman is not happy with what is happening. He went back to where he was standing earlier next to Sufyaan. 

"JazakAllahu khair Kehara." Mr Khan said to which Kehara smiled. 

"So when is the nikha ?" Khurshid said. 

"Abba?" Mrs Khan said.

"Today. Tomorrow. Whenever you are done with arrangements." Dadajaan said and Kehara shivered. 

Today! Well she was not expecting that. No one was. Everyone was shocked. But the look on dadajaan's face told them he was serious and they need to do things faster. 

"But Kehara don't worry. We are just doing Nikha now. You won't be shifting with us now. It will only happen after your exams." Dadajaan said and Kehara smiled.

To say Aman was disappointed would be an understatement. First he hated the fact that Kehara is forced by his family to do the nikha and now she won't even shift! What is the point of having the Nikha now! But for Kehara it was a relief. Getting married on such a small notice was itself a huge thing. If she had to leave her house as well Allah knows how she would have survived the day. 

***

Everything was happening so fast that Kehara didn't have the time to think. She was so sad because she could not have an engagement ceremony  and Of course not a proper nikha. But she was satisfied because she was doing all this for Dadajaan. When they came back from the hospital everyone was so shocked that they were sitting quietly in the living room for almost an hour. It was really difficult for khurshid to accept the fact that his little princess is getting married. Same goes for Sufyaan. Kehara is their life and now letting her go is difficult. After some time Sufyaan got a call from Aman and They left for the Nikha preparations leaving Kehara alone. She had informed her friends as soon as she left the hospital room. They are on their way. Kehara decided to clean the house because Nikha was going to take place at her house. Thirty minutes of working and Kehara was almost done and her house looked ready for the event. Addy and Amy came after five minute.

"Kehara I told you to say yes not to get married!" Addy joked and Amy laughed.

"Addy you know nothing is in my hands. If they had left it on me to decide I would have planned this nikha seven years later. Or even ten!" 

Addy and Amy laughed. They both helped Kehara to clean and as Kehara was almost done it took them only five minutes to clean the rest. They looked around the house and it looked ready. 

"Kehara I don't believe you are getting married." Amy said hugging her.

"It is difficult for me to believe it as well." Kehara said breaking their hug.

"I feel bad for Aman." Addy said . 

"Why?" Kehara asked.

"He will be your husband! He is not even prepared and you all are throwing bomb on him! May God give him lots of patience and strength to deal with you." 

Kehara rolled her eyes" As if I'm ready!" 

"But Aman is nice." 

"Mr Addy you mean to say I'm not nice?" 

Before Addy could say anything Amy said " STOP! Addy she is getting married in few hours and you are fighting with her. Kehara ignore him and tell me what are you wearing?" 

Kehara dropped her phone which was in her hand. Her eyes are wide open and her mouth dropped. How can she forget such an important thing!

"OH MY ALLAH! AMY I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR ON MY OWN NIKHA!" Kehara said with tears in her eyes. Your Nikha dress is so so so important. It is more important than the groom. She actually started crying. Amy started consoling her and Addy had no idea how to react on that. 

"Kehara Why to fear when I'm is here?" 

They all turned to see Noor and her Mother standing near the living room door. 

"Addy you left the door open!" Kehara scolded in a whisper and Addy said sorry.  

"Assalamu alayekum." Kehara said with an awkward smile. She is kind of nervous because they will be her in laws in few hours. And who is not scared of their mom in laws! 

"Walekum assalam." They both said in union. 

"So Kehara guess what we got for you?" Noor said excitedly. 

"What?"

"Your dress silly!" Noor exclaimed and kehara smiled. 

"Having  Noor as your sister in law will be fun!" Amy whispered and kehara chuckled. 

"Ok so we only have two hours girls. So without wasting time everyone in Kehara's Room!" Mrs Khan ordered and everyone obeyed.They went to Kehara's room leaving Addy alone. 

As soon as they entered the room Noor opened the bag she was holding and started showing Kehara her dress and accessories.

"Noor I never knew you are so good at shopping. You did her Nikha shopping in just few hours!" Amy said in amusement. 

Noor chuckled and said " I'm very bad when it comes to shopping Amy. It takes me hours to decide which dress to buy!"

"Same here." Amy said and they both hugged each other laughing.  

"They what happened today?" Kehara asked taking the dress in her hand. 

"It is Mom's wedding dress and accessories."

Kehara looked up at Mrs Khan who is smiling. She smiled back before looking down to the dress again. Now she realised it has an old design on it. It is a beautiful and typical desi red sharara with golden work. Even the jewelries were of old design. They are exactly like her mom's.Her mom! She is missing her so much. Growing up she never thought her big day will be without her mom.More she was staring the jewelries more emotional she was getting. Finally a tear dropped. Noor and Amy in their excitement did not notice that. But Mrs Khan did. She came and hugged her. 

"What happened?"

"Mom."

"Aww Kehara!" Noor said and joined them.

"Hey don't forget me!" Amy said coming and joining their hug as well. 

After breaking the group hug Noor and Amy moved back. Mrs Khan is still holding Kehara's hand who is still crying. Mrs Khan made her sit on the bed and sat next to her. 

"Kehara." Mrs Khan said wiping her tears " I know I can never take your mother's place. And I don't even want to take her place. But I promise you to love like I love Noor. I promise you I will always protect you. I'm always there for you sweetheart. I will try my best to never become those typical desi mother in laws." Mrs Khan joked and Kehara chuckled. "And From now on You are my daughter." 

Kehara looked up and smiled with tears still in her eyes. "Thank you aunty."

"Aunty!?" 

Kehara laughed and said " Ok so what am I suppose to call you then?" 

"Whatever you like. Mummy,mom,Ma,Ammi but no aunty!" 

Kehara laughed. After thinking for some time she said "Ammi." Mrs Khan's eyes lit up" I know you always wanted Aman and Noor to call you Ammi but they being the American kids never did." 

Mrs Khan placed her hand on Kehara's cheeks.Both are smiling. 

"Enough of all this emotional drama we only have two hours!" Noor exclaimed.

"Actually Noor we only have one and a half hour!"Amy said.

They all started working faster. After Kehara changed Sarah and Amy did her make up. Noor helped her to wear the jewelries. All the jewelries were of gold colour and few were real Gold. As she was going to sit up in her room all the time and no boys were allowed there she was not wearing a hijab. As it was mid week not everyone could make it but they promised to be there for the wedding. Sarah,Emaan and wafa were the only girls who could come. Afzal,Azhar, dawood  and rashid were also present. Time was running with such a speed that in no time It was time for their Nikha. After they both agreed and signed the papers everyone started congratulating them. They are now a married couple.
