CHAPTER 11 -
Bad Omen.

She woke up to the sound of birds chirping., a bright yellow- orange light was casted in their room from windows through curtains., telling that sun was up. She opened her eyes and rubbed them. While blinking few time so that her eyes could adjust to the bright light. She looked at the side table and glanced at clock showing its already 7:30 in the morning.

She got up from the bed and went straight to wardrobe...pick some clothes,went to bathroom to perform ghusl. (bath).

Zaryaan woke up to the empty bed and he got up from the bed and glanced at his left side to know that Aasiya already went to take a bath. After sometime., she came out of bathroom. Wearing a cream colour long length top with yellow colour palazzo pant with yellow colour veil.

She made her way towards vanity, and started doing her hair.,saw that Zaryaan was already up. She turned her face towards him and greeted.

"Assalamu alikum..,good morning." Aasiya said with a soft smile.

He cleared his throat before saying.."walikum assalam., hope you've a nice sleep." He asked her., which in return she nodded her head. With a smile.

"I'll go and freshen up." He said and walked towards bathroom to take a bath.

She had done her hair in a low bun. And placed her veil on her head to cover her hair. Took a last glance in mirror and went downstairs. She walked inside the kitchen and saw that Yusra was instructing something to maid. She make her way towards her.

"Asslamu alikum..,Yus dear." Aasiya greeted her best buddy in her usual cheerful tone.

"Walikum assalam.,Bhabhi ji. Ma sha allah. You're looking beautiful in this salwar suit." Yusra complimented her and hugged her..,she instantly returned the hug.

"Um..so what are you doing..?" Aasiya asked her while looking at kitchen counter..

"Nothing much..just preparing your welcome breakfast."she said in a sing a song tone..

"Awww...Yus, you grown up so big." Aasiya said with a dramatic effect, and wiped a fake tear with her fingers.

"Aww, very funny." she playfully glared at her.

"Okay, come I'll help you. tell what are you planning to cook." Aasiya asked with a clap of her hand.

"Ooo, hello. You miss, stay away okay. You are not allowed here., you're new bride have some perks of being a bride yaar." Yusra said while shooing her.

"Oh come na Yus.., I just can't sit like that., at least let me bake something." Aasiya whined, and make a puppy face.

"Fine but after that you'll be leaving this area, got it.?" Yusra said with a glare.

"Okay Ammi." Aasiya stuck out her tounge..

They started preparing breakfast after 30 minuted, everything was ready. Aasiya backed chocolate chipp cookies. They put everything on breakfast table and sat their while everyone started to come for breakfast.

"Wow, umm, smells so nice what are today's specials." Ahil asked while taking a chair.

"Have patient, always talking about food." Yusra said, he stuck out his tounge and grinned.

'Shameless.' Yusra muttered under her breath but loud enough to hear by everyone. They all started laughing.,Aasiya missed her brother already. While witnessing their sibling taunts.

Zaryaan came down for breakfast and sat beside Saif. Who was opposite to Ahil., Yusra and Aasiya brought the baked cookies and some orange juice placed them on table.

"Wow, my favourite cookies. Thanks Yus." Zaryaan thanked his sister while putting some in his plate.

"Its not me who made them, Thank your wife. It was made by Siya." Yusra said while earning a glare from Aasiya. She just shrugged her shoulders.

Aasiya squirm beside Zaryaan who was looking at her amused. But he didn't said a word. And stared eating silently beside her., she felt disappointed at his lack of interest. 'at least a smile can be enough, maybe they are not good enough.' She thought to herself and continued with her breakfast.

"Assalamu alikum, mami." Faiz greeted Aasiya with a peck on her cheek , everyone present in the room, gazed at them with amusement written on their face.

"Walikum assalam, Faiz. Sit have breakfast." Aasiya said while ruffling his hair.

"Come Faiz, sit here." Zara., Faiz's mother asked him to sit beside her.

"No.., Ammi I want to sit beside mami." Faiz said with a pout.

"Aww, sure. Faiz, come." Aasiya placed him on her lap., Faiz grinned ear to ear., Aasiya kissed his cheek. To which Faiz smiled shyly.

Zaryaan watched them both with astonishing and amused look. He felt little jealous with his own nephew.

After breakfast., everyone left to arrange the things for reception. Yusra and Zara took Aasiya to Yusra's room, to discuss about her make up , dress,and jewelery. And all, they chatted for a while.

Aasiya came out of Yusra's room and started to walk upstairs for their room. When she entered he was not their in the room., she went inside further and make her way towards rest room.

When suddenly someone pulled her wrist from behind and she lost her balance and landed in his arms. She look up to saw a smiling Zaryaan., she tried to move away from his arms but he didn't let her go. She stopped struggling and looked at his face.

He was still looking intensely at her. Which caused Aasiya to feel uncomfortable.

"Cookies were so tasty., how do you know they are my favourite.?" Zaryaan asked her while moving his hands from her arms to her waist. Snaking her waist with his hands firmly holding her in place.

"Ahh, Yu..Yusra told me." She shuttered due to their close proximity. Thier faces were just few inches apart.

"You know., I've waited so long Aasiya..." He said while kissing her forehead. Involuntarily her eyes flutter closed.

"Huh.!!!..don't worry..I'll make them for you.
Umm..how about tomorrow.?." she asked him..While thinking that he was talking about cookies.

He started laughing and kissed her forehead.., shook his head at her clueless face. She looked confusedly at him.

"Nothing.., go get some rest. We should be at venue in few hours.., that would be a little stressful." He said and she nodded., making sure that she went to sleep. He left the room.

*********

Aasiya was getting ready for her reception. She was wearing a long cream colour frock with three feet long flowing freely behind. It has a gold colour embroidery with a rhinestones Stone work.., from neck upto waist line.

Small flowers of stones all along the length of the frock and sequence of gold sparks at the hem, and around the edge of the frock.

She covered her hair with gold colour scarf., and her hair tied up in a french bun. Neatly placed with using some pins.

She put some light make up to match it with her attire.., and looked at herself in mirror. One last time., and took a deep breath.

"Ma sha allah, Siya., you looking beautiful." Yusra complimented her.

"You look really awesome, ma sha allah." Zara said hugging her carefully so that she won't ruin her dress.

She thanked them.., and soon after sometime there's a knock on the door. Zara and Yusra went outside and Zaryaan came and locked the door behind him. Before locking Yusra winked at him. He made a face at her., and shook his head at her.

Zaryaan turned and looked at Aasiya. His breath hitched at the site before his eyes.., He took a deep breath., to calm his rapid beating heart. Make his way towards her., he stood in front of her and said., "Assalamu alikum." in his deep voice.

That make her to held her face up., to look at the owner of that deep rich voice. When her gaze met his., her heart started beating rapidly in her rib cage. she averted her gaze towards his chest. To hide her nervousness and anxiousness.

"Walikum assalam." She relied with a low and soft voice.

He cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead., she smiled at the cute gesture. He pulled away.

"You looking breathtakingly beautiful.., Mrs. Khan." He whispered huskily in her ear.

He extended his hand , forward to her.

"Shall we..?" He asked her. She put her hand in his., he intertwined them and make their way out.

***********

Bright sparkling lights.., everyone were dressed in their best attires. Whole banquet hall had been decorated with tulips and lillies., fresh smell of flowers filled every corner of the banquet hall.

She was sitting in a chair at the middle of the stage., with Yusra and her cousin Fatima beside her., teasing her to death.

Everyone were coming and giving their dua'a and blessings to the new bride. Zaryaan was some where at the men's side of banquet hall.

Zaryaan was being congratulated by his friends., family and business assosiates. He was standing on the stage decorated with cream and gold colour curains and chalandier.

Saadiq and Hafiz were giving him company. While Khalid walked to stage to congratulate him.

"Congratulations bro.., am happy for you." Khalid said while giving him a hug., Zaryaan in return hugged him with bright smile.

"Thanks Khalid." Zaryaan said with a gratefulness. "If it wasn't for your help we won't be together now."

"Hush., no more sad talks. And it's just the beginning., you've to gain her trust and love. Take care of her man., she's our precious gem." Khalid said with a soft smile but held a silent warning., 'if you ever try to hurt her., you've to deal with me.'

"Okay Come ryan., its time for you to meet Aaisiya. She must be hungry." Khalid said dragging him.

"Yeah lets go." Zaryaan said with a contentment in his heart.
.

After about two hours.., all guests moved to dining area to had dinner. Now its time for Zaryaan to come at womens side.

All lights in the women's side hall were dim., women put their abaya and hijab on. And Zaryaan came along with his friends.

"Hey.." Zaryaan whispered in returned Aaisiya just gave him a small smile which didn't reach her eyes.

Zaryaan frowned at her behaviour., and turned to look at her. She felt his intense gaze on her. She squirmed in her seat.

"Am good." she replied. While avoiding eye contact.

'Must be something wrong' Zaryaan thought., he just nodded his head still looking unconvinced.

"But I didn't ask you anything." Zaryaan said.., she got gulped at his words., and replied.,"you were staring so seriously so." she trailed off. He hummed in response and just nodded his head.

"Are you hungry.?" Zaryaan asked her. She just shook her head.

" Am tired., can we just leave already.?" She asked while trying to look anywhere but him.

He noticed that., she was avoiding his gaze., "lets have some food then we'll be leaving after that. Is that okay.?" Zaryaan asked her like a 5 year old child.

She nodded and he took her hand. They went to dining area where already both their family and friends are seated.

Zaryaan and Aasiya sat on a love seat. With a large plate filled with food on their table.

Zaryaan put first morsel of food in front of Aasiya's lips. She ate it from his hand hesitantly trying to hide the redness of her cheeks threatening to visible.

Every girl present on the table....made "awwww." Where as boys hooted loud and earn a glare from their elders.

Yusra and Hafsa insisted Aasiya to do the same. She being shy. She first hesitated and looked at her mother., she nodded., then at her mother in law she wink and shows a thumps up.

She took very small bite of chapati from the plate. "Bhabhi., take a big one , he had a beast like appetite." Hafiz shouted from across the table. She chuckled and earned a glare from Zaryaan.

She made big bite for Zaryaan and brought her hand at his lips. He ate it. While bite her finger to get her attention.

She hissed and looked at him. He just winked.., Which made her to blush even hard., but soon her expression changed to grim.

He noticed her change of facial expressions., made a worried face and looked at her. She bend down her face to hide the unshed tears threatening to fall.

Yusra nudged her brother., who witnessed everything. Gestured him that to calm down...and mouthed him., 'I'll explain.' to him. He just nodded.,While continued eating.

While Aasiya just gazing at the food..,without eating.

"Is something wrong.?" He whispered.

She shook her head. "I just lost my appetite. Can we please leave." He nodded and put one more bite in her mouth. She just smiled at his caring self.

Once dinner was over.., everyone made their way to their respective places. And Aasiya bid good bye to her family with teary eyes and hugged them. Zaryaan and Aasiya made their way to their home.

**********

Once she reached inside the safety of her room., she straight ahead went to her wardrobe and flew to rest room to change her clothes.

As she closed her rest room door. she slumped on the floor. And warm tears started to run down her cheeks.

She controlled so hard not to cry in front of her family or friends. But when she saw Zaryaan.., his caring words and concern face. She just couldn't be able to control.

While she was still crying., she heard a door opening and closing sound., and soon there's a knock on rest room door.

She put a hand on her mouth to cover and stop a sob which was about to escape.

She very slowly and carefully cleared her throat so that he won't know., what she was doing.

She hummed in response..."hmm."

"Aasiya are you alright.?" Zaryaan asked. She just can't fathom the concern and worry in his tone., more tears came running down her cheeks. A lump formed in her throat.

"Um.. y..yes..am fine." She managed to reply him without a hiccup.

"Okay." Came his unconvinced voice., from other side of the door.

She slowly got up from her place and went towards mirror to wash her face.

A gasp escaped from her lips., at her condition. Her eyes were swollen with red colour., like she's been crying for ages., her nose slight shade of pink.

She quickly washed her face and changed into simple cotton salwar suit and came out of rest room.

When she stepped outside of the room he was no where to be seen.

'He must be changing in Ahil's room.' She mutterd and went to sleep. But she slept with a heavy heart.

" I think she's a bad omen. That's the reason. Mariam's son got that fate. Because he got related to her."

"Am really feeling bad for Zaryaan son. Why would muskaan choose her."

All those hateful words came crashing down on her. And she started crying again.., and loads of sobs and hiccups filled the entire room. But Zaryaan was nowhere. After crying and crying., don't know when she went to sleep.
