{Pearls Queen as Waliyah}

It is a hot summer day in Delhi and it's the day Mubaraka and Aaryan are coming to India to meet their reader, Waliyah who loves them so much and they're extremely happy to meet her. As told by their author, how much she adores them so they couldn't stop themselves from visiting their neighbouring country to visit her. Waliyah has been over the moon since she heard about their favourite couple visiting her country and they have come here just to meet her. 

Waliyah approached Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi to pick up her favourite couple as early as she can because she doesn't want them to be waiting for her. When they came out, they exchanged greetings and Waliyah got a tight hug from Mubaraka and then she took them to her home. She introduced them to her parents and her parents are happy to meet them. Waliyah's mother was reluctant at first when Waliyah told them that she would be taking them to different places in Delhi but her dad allowed her to go ahead with her plan. Waliyah hugged her parents and told them not to worry about her as she will stay safe. 

After refreshing, Aaryan and Mubaraka decided to go outside and Waliyah took them to the India Gate. There they clicked lots of pictures together and with Waliyah too. Waliyah was their photographer and she clicked lots of random pictures of them. 

After their photography session, they had ice cream from the vendor outside the India Gate and then they took a short tour of nearby places by car. As they spent lots of time in India Gate, it was already seven in the evening so Waliyah decided to take them for dinner. 

“Waliyah jaani, don't you think we should go home and have dinner? I am sure aunty is making dinner for us”, Mubaraka said as Waliyah drove towards the restaurant. 

“No, she is not. I have already told her that I would be taking you both out for dinner so she is not making anything”, Waliyah replied while looking ahead while praying in her heart not to get stuck in the traffic. 

“Ok, but it would have been better if we had dinner at your home. We would have got the chance to eat the real indian food”, Mubaraka said and Aaryan nodded in agreement. 

“No problem. We will have lunch tomorrow at my home and you are here for a week so I will make you so much fat”, Waliyah replied with a chuckle. 

“Haha but I will still love her the same”, Aaryan said and Waliyah faked being hurt. 

“Ouch! It hurts so much. I thought you will leave her then and I will get a chance to marry you”, Waliyah replied and laughed seeing Mubaraka's face. 

“You are openly flirting with my husband? Shame on you!”. 

“Why shame? Do you even know how many of your readers openly drool over Aaryan? They dream of getting married to him and I did what a reader always wish to do with their fictional crush”. 

“Yeah yeah, Aisha told me about all those people but don't worry you people are harmless so I am not worried”. 

“Not from me too?”. 

“Nah, not from you too”. 

“Why so?”. 

“Because you are harmless too”. 

“What if this is one of your biggest misunderstandings?”, Waliyah replied with a smirk. 

“Do you want to see us apart from each other after what we have gone through to become one?”, Mubaraka asked with her eyes narrowed at Waliyah and from the rearview mirror, Waliyah can see Aaryan having a nice time watching their little fight. 

“Well, if this will get me Aaryan so maybe yes I can see”, Waliyah replied with a thinking face and then smiled sheepishly at her.  

“What? How cruel! I should have known before coming here”. 

“Aww, so sad. It's too late now”. 

“We can still go back, you know”, Mubaraka said with a smirk making the smile from Waliyah's face disappear. 

“What? No no. As you said, I am harmless and I can never make you both apart from each other. What is the use of having someone with me who has his heart with you? I will find my prince on my own”, Waliyah replied quickly and Aaryan bursted out laughing. 

“Oh gosh, Waliyah. We are not going anywhere. We got Visa for India from so much difficulty and do you expect us to go from here before seeing this place? No way at all”, Aaryan replied between his laugh. “But it was good to see you fighting for me”. 

“Exactly princess. I know you are harmless and I was playing around and I am sure your prince will be much better than my Aaryan and he will love you a lot”, Mubaraka replied and Waliyah rolled her eyes. 

“He doesn't love me at all otherwise he would have come by now”. 

“Aww, someone is desperate to get married”, Aaryan said and Mubaraka nodded while laughing. 

“I won't lie that I am not because I am. I am waiting for years for him to show up and now I feel he doesn't exist on this planet anymore. I need to go to other planets to find him”, Waliyah replied with a fake sigh. 

“Aww, if you want, we can come along with you to get you married to an alien”, Mubaraka said with a laugh and Waliyah rolled her eyes. 

“Oh gosh! Mubi, that was the best”, Aaryan replied while laughing. 

“Huh! Not best at all. I am not going to marry an alien”. 

“But you said you will go to other planets to find your prince”. 

“Yeah, but it doesn't mean that I will marry an alien”. 

“Then Waliyah Habibti, tell me does human live on other planets?”. 

“I don't know. Maybe they do. You never know”. 

“Then it will be your prince only who must be living on other planets”, Aaryan replied with a chuckle. 

“That's what I said”. 

“And your prince is an alien”. 

“No”. 

“Yes”. 

“No”. 

“Yes”. 

“I said NO”. 

“I said YES”. 

And we reached Nazeer Foods in Cannaught Place while arguing. We ordered chicken spring rolls, chicken nuggets, chicken seekh kebabs, chicken nihari along with cold drinks and for dessert, we had ice cream from Baskin Robbin. After dinner, we took a round of Cannaught Place and they did little shopping from the shopping centre. 

The next day, they visited Red Fort. Mubaraka and Aaryan were in love with the beauty of this monument. The guide there told us about every historical detail and it was amazing to know about Shah Jahan. It was Waliyah's second visit to Red Fort. The first time when Waliyah visited this place was on the trip from her school. It was an amazing trip for her and this one too. 

Mubaraka and Aaryan loved their visit to Red Fort and asked Waliyah whether they can visit the Taj Mahal to which Waliyah said, she will discuss with her parents for the trip. The next day they went to the Qutub Minar and then to Jama Masjid. They offered their salah there and had a late lunch at Kareem Restaurant. In the evening, they all went to the Shipra Mall for the shopping. 

At night, Waliyah discussed with her parents for the trip to Agra. At first, they were reluctant as they have some work but agreed on Waliyah's continuous insistence. The next day, they all got ready for their journey to Agra. Agra is not far from Delhi and they will return by evening. Waliyah's parents are coming along with them too as Waliyah cannot take them alone. 

They reached Agra in two hours and visited the Taj Mahal. Mubaraka and Aaryan clicked few photos together and the rest all were with Waliyah and her parents. They took a tour inside and it is so beautiful that it cannot be explain in words. They weren't allowed to go more inside so they saw what they were allowed to see. They took so many pictures from the inside as well as from the outside. In the garden, they sat down on the grass while Waliyah's father went to buy snacks for all of them.

The day passed in a blur and to say, Waliyah enjoyed it a lot would be an understatement. The next few days also passed in a blur and the day came when Waliyah have to say goodbye to her favourite couple. The whole night Waliyah was upset and couldn't sleep. Waliyah got so used to them that now when they are going back to their country is making her sad. Waliyah wish they could extend their stay but Mubaraka said her daughter is not feeling well for two days otherwise they would have extended their stay. 

When their time to leave arrived, Waliyah was in tears and crying on Mubaraka's shoulder. 

“Waliyah, please stop crying. In Shaa Allah we will come back soon to meet you”, Mubaraka said trying to make Waliyah feel better. 

“Mubi, I don't want you to leave me. I don't know how I am going to get used to your absence in the home”, Waliyah replied between her cries and sniffed. 

“Aww, we were just here for a week and you got so attached to us? That's not good Waliyah”, Aaryan said and Waliyah hugged Mubaraka more tightly. 

“I don't know how but I got. I cannot do anything now”. 

“Aww, it's ok. Whenever you miss us, read our story and you will feel better, In Shaa Allah”, Mubaraka replied and Waliyah nodded and broke the hug. She kissed Waliyah's forehead and wiped her tears. 

“Now don't cry. Take care of yourself. Also, contact Aisha whenever you miss us. I am sure she will make you feel better”, she said and Waliyah nodded. 

“Now we should go inside. Take care of yourself Waliyah. Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu”. 

“Yes, please take care of yourself. Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu”. 

“You both also take care of yourself. Have a safe journey. Walaikum Assalam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu”. 

They smiled at Waliyah and turned around with their baggage trolley and went inside the airport with hands in hand. Waliyah keep looking at them until they disappeared completely. Her parents came from behind and took her to the car and the wish of Waliyah to meet her favourite couple got fulfilled because of her duas to her Rab.
