Rushed Nikaah
ZUNAID’S P. O. V
Sometimes some of the most poisonous people come disguised as family. I don’t know what people get out of bringing others down especially spreading rumors known to hurt others. The fact that even tho I want to protect the people I have come to love, I can’t because it’s me against the entire society. How is that even fair for one person to fight an entire society for what is right?
I was so tired that I decided to get married as early as possible if Zainab agreed as well as do all the necessary paperwork to officially move to the U. K. No judgements, no pleasing society. I know atleast Zainab and Zahraa can walk down a street without the normal society bullying.
I picked up my phone as I called Bilaal
“Asalaamualaikum howzt bro?. “ Was his reply on answering
I replied by saying,” Wa’alaikum Us Salaam, Alhamdulillah shukr and you bro? “
Bilaal replies,” I’m good alhamdulillah shukr, ” He pauses for a minute before continuing,” Khadija gave birth to a lovely girl, they named her Zineerah. We leaving this weekend to go see her and my little niece. I’m so excited to hold that little girl in my arms. “
I reply happily knowing once upon a time Khadija was a close friend of mind,” Mubarak to you and the family. Tell ml I said Mubarak and May she be the coolness of her parents eyes. Any ways I’m calling for a little favor. “ I say nervously.
” Well bro, “He began,” What’s up? “
I start by saying,” Would you perhaps consider asking Zainab to make Nikaah today? “
Bilaal is quiet for awhile and then bursts out laughing as he says,” I wondered how long you would have lasted since you could have made Nikaah the day she said yes. “
I sigh and say,” I’m just so tired of her dealing with all the taunts, abuse and bullying. After we marry and the paperwork is done, we moving to the U. K and since your sister gave birth I was thinking of taking Zainab and Zahraa to see her, since I know they like Besties and all. “ I laugh slightly.
Bilaal laughs slightly and says,” Well aren’t you a romantic one!? Seriously tho you moving to U. K? One of my options is U. K too. Actually it’s my only option and since you moving U. K, I Guess Rubina also won’t feel like she’s a stranger in a strange land. ”
I ask quietly,” So will you ask your wife to ask Zainab, if she’s ready to go through with it today? “
” Well, “ Bilaal teases,” What are you going to give me for doing this favor for you?”
I laugh as I say, ” Whatever you want, reasonable things tho please. Last time you asked for a trip to the moon like seriously dude.”
Bilaal laughs out loud and says, ” Whatttt!!!!! That was a reasonable thing to ask for. I’m still waiting for this trip to the moon.”
“In your dreams, ” I scoff
Bilaal smirks,” Now Now Mr. Zunaid no need for the high and mighty attitude. Consider your work done. “
I sigh in relief,” Jazakallah bro. I’m nervous you know that. “
Bilaal quietly says,” Who isn’t nervous. We think we the only one that gets nervous but bro girls are no less nervous than us. They think we don’t get nervous so I think it goes hand in hand. Let me go know and see what Rubina can do. Take care. Asalaamualaikum. “
I reply to his Salaam as the call cuts.
RUBINA’S P. O. V
I don’t think I have ever felt this kind of bliss in my life although I hear all the taunts but as soon as I see Bilaal, it feels worth it. I know Bilaal doesn’t like it especially when we together and he hears them, he tenses and anger flashes in his eyes and I have to somehow calm him down.
I feel arms wrap around me tightly and I lean back to the chest behind me. I felt so lucky to have Bilaal as my husband
I sigh in contentment as I sigh, “ Hey Babe.”
Bilaal kisses my head and says, “Babe I have a really huge favor to ask from you.”
“And what is this favour you ask of? ” I smile contentedly
” Would you be able to find out if Zainab wants to get married today? “Bilaal asks
I turned excitedly to look at Bilaal and said,” I can do that right now. “
I left Bilaal’s arms and went to phone Zainab
ZAINAB’S P. O. V
I came back from a morning of shopping with a heavy heart and pain for all the ridiculous things being said about me and Zahraa, I can’t protect Zahraa because I am just one person. The days that Zunaid takes Zahraa out I feel at ease. I know then her childhood would not be as terrible as I made it out to be
Just then my phone rang and I picked it up saying, ” Asalaamualaikum.”
“Wa’alaikum Us Salaam Zay, ” Replied Rubina
I smiled as I asked her,” Howzt? What made you think of me, “ I said teasingly.
The reply that came out was,” I’m good alhamdulillah shukr and you? Well I got good news for you Miss. “
” I’m good alhamdulillah shukr. ” I paused,” What good news? “
Rubina excitedly says,” Zunaid was wondering if it’s Ok if you’ll can get married today. So are you ready? You know he won’t force you. “
It left me breathless as I said,” Yes, I’m Ready Ruby. I don’t want to wait any longer.
Ruby squeals as she’s says she’s coming over to get me ready. Which I deliberately roll my eyes at but really excited knowing that I have made a family here and I would do anything for them.
ZUNAID’S P. O. V
Just as I was getting restless, Bilaal calls me back informing me that Zainab has agreed and I will be getting married today. Bilaal also told me that he will also sort everything out today.
He also told me that he is going to be Zainab’s wali and Yunus and Rubina’s father as witnesses. I was over the moon enjoyed.
Few hours later as I sat in the masjid and I said the words that binded me in to marriage with Zainab, I felt bliss like no other.
Marriage is really the only way two hearts can meet. I realized that now.
