Today my Dhatha is getting married!!!! May Allah bless her with lot's of love and happiness!!!

Please ignore mistakes.

"Sufyaan."

Sufyaan turned around and his eyes became wide. He never expected this to happen. In this situation he wanted more support not more problems. He closed his eyes before saying,

"Allah."

Sufyaan opened his eyes and looked up as if he can see Allah. He narrowed his eyes before shaking his head. He looked down at the person who was smiling before rolling his eyes.

"Afzal what are you doing here!?" Sufyaan asked.

"Surprise!"

Noor and Kehara exclaimed together, coming out of the room. After few seconds Aman and Valiqa came out of the room smiling. Sufyaan narrowed his eyes before giving Afzal a hug.

"Why are you all here?"

"We are here for a wedding." Kehara said.

"And for fixing another one." Noor said.

Sufyaan went and hugged Aman before asking him,

"Why did you bring these crazy girls here?"

"Sufyaan what happened!?" Hadee asked coming in the house.

Qailah and Haajar came running behind him. After Sufyaan ran out of Qailah's house they all started following him. By his facial expression they understood something was wrong so they decided to follow.

"Kehara!" Qailah exclaimed.

"Qailah!" Kehara exclaimed before they hugged each other.

"You must be Haajar." Kehara said looking at Haajar.

Haajar nodded her head slowly while Smiling. Kehara went towards her and smiled,

"MashaAllah Khalajaan she is completely like you. MashaAllah you are beautiful."

"Jazaki Allahu khairan Baji. But not more than you."

"And she is sweet! Salam everyone I'm Noor, Kehara's Sister-in-law." Noor introduced herself.

"Walekum assalam. Jazaki Allahu khairan Noor for coming!" Qailah said.

"Kehara, where is daddy?" Sufyaan asked.

"Daddy, Dad and Ammi will come next week InshaAllah." Kehara said.

"Ok." Sufyaan said nodding his head.

"Everyone please sit down." Valiqa said.

"First tell me was that a plan to bring me here?" Sufyaan asked.

Afzal started nodding his head and others started laughing except Haajar, Qailah and Hadee.

"Sufyaan why did you run like that?" Hadee asked.

"Khalajaan called me and just saying my name loudly disconnected the call."

"I was going to inform you about them but Kehara took the phone from me to keep it a surprise." Valiqa explained.

"And someone also messaged me from her phone which said, Sufyaan I need help so come home fast. Or something like that. Which I'm assuming is done by my friend Afzal." Sufyaan said pointing at Afzal who was smiling.

"No, your sister did it. Although the idea belongs to me."

"Ladies and gentlemen this is Afzal Ahmadi." Kehara said making everyone laugh.

They then went to the living room and sat down on the couch before they all started talking again. After some time as all were tired they went to their rooms to sleep. But unfortunately Sufyaan was Sharing his room with Afzal so he slept after few hours of teasing.

***

Next morning After Fajr Kehara and Qailah did not sleep because they had lots to catch up. Qailah and Kehara are of almost same age so they were like best friends. Although now they hardly get time to talk to each other but when they talk they share everything. They know everything about each other. Qailah was Kehara's first best friend and she still has a special place in Kehara's heart.

After some time they both started preparing for breakfast. Soon Noor and Haajar joined them and the laughter session began. They were laughing more than working. Around nine girls decided to wake boys up but to their shock they all were already up and were playing in the backyard.

After saying and scolding them for almost an hour, boys came in and then they had their breakfast. Then they all went to their rooms.

Around twelve they all gathered in the living room again. Kehara was in the kitchen as she was making lunch. Qailah and Noor were helping her and Haajar was talking to her step mom in the kitchen.

"AllahHafiz. Take care." Haajar said before disconnecting the call.

"You have a good relationship with your step mom?" Qailah asked.

"Yeah. We don't have a very good relationship but we are still good. She was always good to me but now I understand why. She was guilty of her act. We did not have a good relationship before the doctor told her that she can never become a mother. After that she changed a lot."

Qailah and Kehara looked at each other before raising their eyebrows.

"Where is your khalajaan, Kehara?" Noor asked.

"Work." Haajar replied.

Noor nodded and an awkward silence consumed them. They were quietly working when the door bell rang.

"I think Zyva is here! Time to surprise her!" Noor exclaimed.

This morning Noor made Qailah call Zyva and ask her to come to surprise her. Hadee went and opened the door whereas everyone else were in the living room. After a minute Hadee entered the room with Zyva and Zynah following him. Zyva was texting her mother to inform her that they have reached so she was looking down and did not notice them.

"Zyva!" Noor excalimed.

Zyva looked up immediately and smiled  widely.

"Noor !"

Noor walked to her before giving her a hug. After few seconds they pulled away.

"I missed you." Zyva said.

"That's why I'm here. I'm not leaving without you!" Noor said loudly."Sufyaan Bhai did you hear me?"

"I heard you clearly but you need to tell that to someone else." Sufyaan said looking at the TV.

"Hadee you charge tax for sitting in your house?" Afzal asked.

Hadee frowned before saying,"No."

"Then you all can sit." Afzal said looking at  Zyva and Noor.

They all sat down and started talking again.  After some time Kehara stood up and went to her room. She returned back after some time with an envelope in her hand. She went and stood in front of the TV before saying,

"Ok everyone I have something important to say."

"What happened Kehara?" Sufyaan asked.

"Before coming here we all stayed in Mumbai for a day."

"Ok." Sufyaan said.

"So I decided to go to our old house. Next morning Aman came with me to my house. There were few papers in the drawer so I went through them and found this letter there." Kehara said lifting up the envelope.

"What is that?" Sufyaan asked.

Kehara extended him the letter before saying,"This is a letter my mom wrote for me. But it never reached me. Bhaijaan read it loudly. Haajar I don't know if we should discuss this in front of you or not but if we are doing this then you should know about it."

Sufyaan frowned before looking at the envelope. He took out the letter from it and opened it. Sufyaan looked at Kehara before he started reading.

Kehara & Sufyaan.

How are you my brave girl? I hope you have moved on. I hope you happy and safe. I know you are taking good care of  Your father and brother. Always be there for them.

Aman stood up and went to his wife. He placed his hand on her waist and she rested her head on his shoulder. A tear escaped her eyes and Aman pulled her closer.

Remember they only have you so always listen to them and never leave them alone.

Kehara there is one thing I want you and Sufyaan to do for me. I wanted this to happen in front of my eyes but Allah had other plans. So now you both are going to do this.

Sufyaan I want you to be patient and calm. Don't take this wish too emotionally. Do only whatever you can. Please learn to control your anger my son. What will my daughter in-law think about me? I don't want her to think I raised a volcano.

Now you both listen to me very carefully. You both know your Valiqa khalajaan lives alone with your Nani. You both know her husband cheated her and took her daughter. Now there is one more thing you should know.

We had a neighbour who use to live next door since we were small kids. That family had a son called Rahemat. He is Qailah and Hadee's uncle. Rahemat and Valiqa use to like each other. As a gentleman Rahemat went to his parents and told them the truth so that they can come and talk to our parents. But his mother refused. She was against love marriage. She thinks very low of Valiqa. Rahemat tried a lot but she did not change her decision. Soon Valiqa got engaged and before her Nikha Rahemat went to America. He never came back. Valiqa's husband was always a strict man. As Valiqa was unable to give him children he was never good to her. But after thirteen years of marriage She gave birth to Haajar. But it was too late. He thought she will never give him children so he fell for another lady. Haajar was just few hours old when he took her. He never allowed Valiqa to see her daughter.

It has been six years now. I wanted to tell Rahemat everything because I know only he can do something. But Valiqa never allowed anyone of us to tell Rahemat the truth. Valiqa also made Rahemat's sister in-law promise that she will never tell him the truth.

We all know Valiqa's husband will never come back to her and the chances of giving Haajar back is very less. How long will Valiqa live alone? As I said Rahemat is in America and so are you both. So I want you two to go and contact him. Tell him the truth. I know Rahemat will do something for her.

Last week I  called Rahemat here and he was actually going to come but due to bad weather the flight is getting delayed. I don't think I will survive this night kids. I won't be able to tell him the truth. His phone is unreachable. He won't come here after I'm gone. So you both have to contact him and tell him the truth.

You both also have to convince Valiqa to get married to him. I want them to get married. This is all I want. Please do this for me. Rahemat's sister-in-law will help you. Her name is Gulfisha. She is a very nice lady. She will help you to convince Rahemat as well as Valiqa. Take her help.

This is all I want. Take care kids. I love you both. Take care of your father. AllahHafiz.

Sufyaan folded the paper and looked up. Everyone was shocked and were looking at each other. Sufyaan turned to his left to see Haajar who had tears in her eyes. Kehara went to Haajar and sat on the floor in front of her. She took her hand before saying,

"Haajar please try to understand. Your mother suffered a lot. Now it's time for her to live happy. Please support us. My mom wrote this letter six years ago. We are already late. Now your father is divorcing your mother so it's possible. Please Haajar."

"Haajar think about this. Your father have a wife. He is living his life and he is happy. Don't you think now it's time for her to be happy?" Sufyaan asked.

Haajar looked at him and then she looked around at everyone before standing up and leaving the room.

"Haajar." Kehara said standing up.

"Kehara leave her for now. She needs time."Aman said.

"Maybe she needs someone now." Kehara said looking at him.

"Kehara leave her for some time." Sufyaan said.

"Ok." Kehara said nodding her head.

"I knew about this." Zyva said, who was looking at the floor.

"Really?" Zynah asked.

"Yes. Chachu told me when I was in America. But I didn't knew much about her. I only knew she was not allowed to meet her daughter. Why I had no idea."

"We should do something for them." Noor said.

"We will definitely do something. This is the last thing my mom asked me to do. I will make sure this works." Sufyaan said.

"Then who all are in?" Kehara asked.

"Me!" Noor exclaimed.

"Even if I'm not interested Kehara will make me do this so yeah count me in." Aman said smiling.

Kehara narrowed her eyes and Aman winked at her. Sufyaan saw that and said,

"Aman!"

"Sufyaan, she is my wife."

"Shut up and leave the room!"

Kehara rolled her eyes before saying,"Stop you two. Zyva this is what you are volunteering for. So think again."

Zyva smiled at her before saying,"I'm in." Sufyaan raised his eyebrows and looked at her before a small smile made its way on his face. She understood what he was thinking and immediately shook her head,"I meant for Rahemat chachu."

"We can read between the lines Zyva." Afzal teased.

"Who else!?" Kehara asked.

"Everyone." Hadee said.

"Wow! Everyone is getting married." Qailah said.

Afzal smiled before saying,"We Came here to take one bride but it seems we will take two."
