" what are you saying ? "Mrs Malik asked with a stunned expression . a lot of thoughts ran through armaan's mind . there was no way , he was going to back down .

" stop teasing him " Mr Malik said with a chuckle , the conflict was clear on armaan's face . 

a smile broke across Mrs Malik face ," he took so much time , he deserves some teasing " she said and armaan looked at them stunned . 

" you really think , we couldn’t get what was going on ? we knew that it was going to happen , even before you realised your feelings yourself . " Mrs Malik said with an eye roll . 

" you are okay with it ? " armaan asked . 

" ok ? no. i am really happy about this . finally , you will get married , and who could be a better option than aria . its not like your marriage would have worked with anyone else with her being so attached to you " Mrs Malik said . armaan got up and hugged her . " thank you mom " he said . 

" about wedding ..... " armaan asked biting his lip , he wanted to get married as soon as possible . 

" not before 2 months , i need to do preparations . even if you don’t want it , i want to make everything perfect for aria and also kashaan isn’t coming back before a month “Mrs Malik said . kashaan was settled in England with his wife and 2 kids in England . his son was 4 years old and daughter 1 year old . 

" 2 months ?!!! " armaan exclaimed . he was thinking about how he would manage with aria and him in the same room . he didnt want to touch her before Nikkah even in the most innocent ways . 

" can we have the Nikkah this Friday ? ruksati and reception can be done when you want " armaan asked hopefully . Mr Malik looked at his son and then smiled " sure ". 

armaan got happy and went outside .Mrs Malik went to aria , " you are happy about it " she asked aria . she had never been really affectionate , but she didnt hate aria . and now , she was going to be her daughter in law .her happiness mattered to Mrs Malik . 

" yes !" aria said going red , Mrs Malik smiled seeing her blushing . 

" ok , so we should go shopping .after all its your Nikkah this Friday " aria got surprised hearing this . 

" this Friday ?!!" she asked in shock . 

" yes , this Friday . is there any issue ? and about clothes , i will get aria's dress " armaan said standing in the door . aria blushed brighter seeing him standing there . 

" okay then . i will look over other things " Mrs Malik said and got up to leave . armaan came and sat near aria " is there any problem ?" he asked softly . 

" no " aria said and shooked her head . 

armaan smiled " only Nikkah is on Friday . ruksati will be in 1 2 months " armaan said understanding her worry , her hesitation.

aria gave him a bright smile . 

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

it was Friday , everyone was busy in the preparations of Nikkah, which was going to take place in a mosque with some close friends and family members . 

aria got up feeling happy , Mrs Malik entered her room with the dress and other things .

she placed everything on bed " look at the dress ! i cant believe, armaan chose this " Mrs Malik said in excitement . 

aria looked at the dress and smiled . it was a beautiful off-white long fork. with light work over it . the dupatta was heavy . the jewellery was also very simple and elegant . 

there were also rose garlands for her hands . aria smiled seeing them , they were really beautiful and bright red.

" go freshen up , i will send the beautician to get you ready " Mrs Malik said and left . 

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

armaan was dressed in simple white kurta shalwar . he was looking really handsome with light beard and sunglasses on his face . he was being taken to aria after Nikkah in mosque .

happiness could be seen from his face clearly , joy was flowing out of him in waves . he saw aria looking like a princess, dressed in everything of his choice. the light makeup accentuating her features . her milky white hands looking even prettier with those red roses decorating her wrist . today , it looked like everyone was planning to make armaan lose control . 

aria lifted her head and lost herself in his handsome . she could feel his happiness . aria forgot to look away and then she heard someone's teasing voice . 

" he is all yours , you will have a lot of time to look at him " 

aria blushed red and looked down , armaan smiled and took his seat beside her . pictures were being taken . 

" they already live in the same house , shouldn’t ruksati be done today " an aunt said . 

" it could be done today " Mrs Malik said thoughtfully and armaan felt relieved. 

Mrs Malik called home and asked the servant to decorate armaan's room . she didnt see any reason to torture her son , and about functions , she could still do her mehndi function before reception .
