11 CHAPTER 10

After some days, in afternoon, Hoor was sitting in the living room , when she saw a beautiful girl entering .Mary was also behind her . She was also looking really happy after seeing the girl .

"Hello "the girl around 24 or 25 greeted .

"Hey "Hoor said getting up , she was confused and a bit nervous. The girl infront of her was really beautiful and Hoor wasn't even a bit confident about her own looks . A lot of doubts and questions were entering her mind regarding the girl and her relationship with Arhaan.

"She is cute" the girl awed looking at Hoor .

"I am Amal , Arhaan's sister "she introduced herself and Hoor felt herself relaxing . She gave Amal a big smile and Amal ended up swooning a bit more over Hoor .

She pulled Hoor in for a hug . " consider me your sister. You haven't met me till now, because I was out of country with my husband . Our house is in a walking distance from here "she told .

Hoor was warming up to the sweet girl . She nodded her head and asked Mary to get some refreshments.

They spent their time talking and getting to know each other till evening. Arhaan returned with Arish , the latter had come to pick Amal .

They sat together for sometime " I am excited for reception. I am going to make it the biggest event of this city "Amal said enthusiastically . She was always a sucker for parties, gathering , shopping etc.

Arish said teasingly " We are expecting nothing less, when the reception is of the great Arhaan Randhawa" .

-----------------

At night , Hoor was laying beside Arhaan when he asked ."did you enjoy your day?"

"Yes ! Amal is really nice . " She said with a big smile . A smile ran through Arhaan's lips also .Arhaan always slept with her face turned towards Hoor, tonight also , Hoor was laying on his arm , her face levelled with his chest .Arhaan was looking down at her happy glowing face.

He slept with a wish that she always stay happy and smiling .

Next day , Amal again came at noon .they had lunch together ." Lets go shopping " Amal said .

" I can't ." Hoor said excusing herself .Amal was pleading again and again for Hoor to accompany her. Hoor really didn't want to go , but she didn't have the heart to deny anymore . She said" can you please get permission for me "

Amal quickly nodded and called Arhaan . She put the phone on speaker . " hello bhai ! I want to take Hoor on shopping , we can also order her dress for reception .but she wanted to get your permission first " .

Arhaan went silent for some seconds . He knew his sister and his Hoor also . " No , she won't go . About the reception dress, I have already ordered it from Sabya sachi. And if she needs something else, I will take you both in evening " Arhaan said and ended the call. Hoor took a relaxing breath .Amal pouted but knew that there was no point insisting anymore .Amal and Hoor decided to watch a movie.

The preparations accelerated as the reception was nearing. Night time was when they talked about their day or what they wanted to do.

Arhaan was in deep thoughts , when Hoor asked" What are you thinking , Arhaan?"

Arhaan looked at her for a few seconds biting his lip, she was laying close to him ,even dangerously close . Arhaan hadn't made her feel it, he didn't want to make things awkward, he loved how comfortable she was with him . But the moments he felt the relationship between them was increasing day by day .He shook his head and decided to stop thinking about her closeness and focused on the matter in hand .

" Why had you covered your face on our wedding ?" He asked , he knew that it was not because of religious reasons , because Hoor never did hijab or veil while going out .

" Aiza's mom asked for it " Hoor told honestly .

Arhaan nodded not pondering on the reason , he was satisfied that atleast , Hoor was protected from people's eyes .

"Will you wear a veil for me on our reception too ? I don't want people looking at you " He asked.

" yes! But when we go out, you never requested something like that, then why now " Hoor asked frowning .

" In normal days , your stole is enough, people look at you but they don't get to ogle you . But on our reception , people would be there to meet you , Hoor - e - Arhaan . They will look at you , and I won't be able to stop them" Arhaan said agitated . Hoor suppressed her laughter and agreed for it .

Arhaan gave her a grin and placed a kiss on her forehead, he was happy that she agreed.
