2.Hukmaraani🔥

The sound of Alarm broke Inaayat's sleep.

She looked at watch... It was fajr time.

She quickly freshened up & did wudu.

She spread the prayer mat & offered her Fajr Salah.

She put her hands together & made dua (supplicated)

"Ya Allah aaj meri zindagi ka sabse ahem din hai...mujhpar rehem farma aur mere Mustaqbil ko haseen banade Ameen "

She unwrapped her namaz scarf & opened her room's windows.

Fresh air entered her room.

It was mid October...Autumn season.

Inaayat found it fascinating.

Beautiful cold weather starts to seep in with an amazing view of nature.

In short perfect weather.

But others considered it boring.

" Yeh kya sara din bahar baithi rehti ho "

" She's such a bore"

She opened her balcony door & sat on her wooden chair.

She took in a deep breath trying to calm her nerves.

Cool breeze kissed her cheeks softly.

She turned around & jumped in her place to see Sanam standing with a tray.

Sanam spoke " Assalamualikum Dulhaniya...hogaya aapka mausam ka lutf uthaana?"

Inaayat smiled & replied "Walaikumassalam bhabhijaan...aaj muskaan toh hatt nahi rahi apke chehre se... Kya raaz hai? "

Sanam blushed & placed the tray on a table.

She settled on bed not before pulling inaayat with her.

Both the girls sat & had their breakfast.

Sanam said " Chal ini tujhe jaldi se ready hona hai do ghante hai hamare pass"

Inaayat sighed but nodded.

Inaayat said " Tum kab ready hone wali ho? "

Sanam replied " Mujhe 5 minute lagengey...waise bhi mera function raat ko hai...abhi toh aapka number hai dulhaniya "

Both the receptions were in evening.

Inaayat nodded & pulled her scrunchie out of her hair & startes brushing them.

Sanam took out inaayat's Nikkah outfit & jewelry.

In one hour... Sanam did inaayat's Makeup & hair.

Inaayat quickly changed into her Nikkah outfit & turned around.

Sanam's eyes brimmed with tears.

She hugged inaayat tightly.

Tears rolled down Inaayat's cheeks.

She was extremely nervous...leaving her home was like leaving her safe heaven.

Her family accepted her how she was... But the world always mocked.

She was afraid to face the world alone.

Sanam prayed for Inaayat's happiness...inaayat was a blessing to her.

Both pulled away hearing a cough.

Ahmed stood at the door.

He entered inside & hugged the two important girls of his life.

Sanam & inaayat giggled when he sqeezed them together & said " Hamesha chipki hui hoti ho dono...mujhe bhi include karo ab...dono ka mehram hoon mai"

Sanam smacked his arm while Inaayat side hugged her brother.

Ahmed was the best brother any girl could ask for... He was Inaayat strength & support.

Syed abdullah & tahira abdullah entered their daughter's room to see their kids already present.

Both embraced their daughter - inaayat & made dua for her better future.

Sanam phoned her mother.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Location📍 : Rahman villa

Rabiya's phone rang.

She answered it.

Sanam - Assalamualikum Ammi... Hum log ab nikalne wale hain aaplog bhi jald aajayen

Rabiya - walaikumassalam... Ji beta bas nikal rahe hai...tumhare bhai ki subah nahi hui abhi tak...usse uthaa rahi hoon... Waise hamara ghar pass hai venue se... Hum jald aajayenge inshaallah.

Sanam - theek hai Ammi Allah hafiz.

Rabiya put her phone on couch & went to knock on Haaris's door for the nth time today.

She said " Haaris agar tum ek minute mein nahi uthe toh maine...tumhara wifi connection cut kardena hai...fir jitna marzi ho sona "

Haaris jumped from his bed hearing Wifi.

He wore a T-shirt which was hanging on chair &  opened the door.

He said " Ammi aap bhi na bilkul serious hojati hai...Bade Bade deshon mein aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hain... Senorita!!" & hugged his mother.

Rabiya slapped his hands away & said " Do minute mein nahaao aur tayaar hokar ek minute mein baahar aao "

Haaris nodded immediately not wanting to anger his mom more.

He quickly took a shower & changed into a decent kurtha & an ivory waistcoat with golden self design.

He sprayed his perfume & set his hair with gel & went outside his room.

Afsar Rahman & Rabiya sighed in relief... He was out finally.

Rahman joked " Humey laga masjid ke loudspeaker laakar uthaana padhega tumhe... "

Rabiya chuckled at his remark.

Haaris rolled his eyes at his parents but smiled knowing they were the coolest parents.

He pecked his mother's cheek & said " Haseen ho isiliye maaf kar deta hoon har baar...warna bohut gussail hoon mai "

Afsar Rahman smacked the back of his son's head & said " Apni maa ko toh chorde kamm se kamm besharm"

Haaris stuck his tongue out & ran away to bring the car.

They soon drove to venue.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Location📍: Nikkah Venue

All the close relatives & friends were present at Venue.

Nikkah stage was set & everyone were settled waiting for groom.

Ramiz sajid was getting ready in dressing room.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Qazi sahaab said " Mujhe aur bhi Nikkah padhwaane hai... Dulha kaha hai bhai? "

Groom's father said " Qazi sahaab woh abhi aata hoga...mai jaakar dekhta hoon"

He went to his son's friends & asked " Ramiz ko laao...dair ho rahi hai Nikkah ke liye "

They gulped nervously.

One of them came forward & said " Sajid uncle Ramiz room mein nahi hai "

Sajid's eyes widened hearing him.

He whispered " Kya bakwaas kar rahe ho"

As there was mic in his hand.

His phone vibrated all of sudden.

He opened the video message.

It was from Ramiz.

Ramiz🎥 - "Dad iam sorry i can't do this... I already have a wife & daughter back here... I can't cheat on them for money...hope you understand me this time atleast "

A gasp escaped everyone's lips.

The video was heard by entire hall.

Tears welled up in Inaayat's eyes... She felt humiliated.

Sanam immediately hugged inaayat.

Sayed abdullah shouted " Yeh kya chal raha hai sajid? "

Sajid bow his head down in shame knowing what he did was wrong.

Sayed abdullah moved forward to attack Sajid when Ahmed held him back & said " Mr. Sajid leave before I lose my patience..."

Sajid left immediately with his relatives.

Gossip started to spread... All the guests were shocked... Some were sympathetic while some where eager to see what was gonna happen now.

A bride was abandoned at alter.

Sanam took everyone to waiting room knowing people would attack them right away.

Sayed abdullah slumped on couch & left out a cry of despair.

His innocent daughter didn't deserve this.

Tahira held her husband & cried silently.

Inaayat sat still like a statue...she was unable to understand how to react or what to say.

Should she be happy that she was saved from 2nd marriage or sad that she was left at altar.

Sanam went to Ahmed who just looked lost.

She held him & pressed her forehead against his chest & mumbled " Hum kuch na kuch raasta nikaalenge Ahmed... Aise mayoos na hoyen... Ini se bardaasht nahi hoga please "

Ahmed held her in his arms & replied dejectedly " Sab khatm ho chuka hai Sanni...mere behen ki zindagi ko barbaad kardiya unn makkaaron ne "

Sanam shook her head in No & said " Hamari ini bacch gayi Ahmed... Allah ne uski hifazat ki"

Sayed abdullah said " Sahin keh rahi hai Sanam beta...mere Inaayat ko Allah ne bacha liya..."

Tahira nodded agreeing with him.

Ahmed spoke " Lekin duniya ka kya karenge... Ini kaise face karegi inhe... Mai..Bhai hone ka farz sahin adaa nahi kar paaya "

Inaayat's trance broke hearing her brother.

She stood up making her Dupatta fall on ground... She went to Ahmed & said " Kisi ko koi galati nahi hai Bhai...jo hona tha woh hogaya... Please apne aap ko blame mat karen"

Ahmed hugged his sister tightly & Sobbed like a child.

She did everything for Him & Sanam.

She stood like a rock with them till the families agreed for the alliance.

Now her fate was breaking her like this.

Sanam looked at the brother-sister duo... Tears rolled down her cheeks.

She raised her hand to wipe it... When her bracelet got stuck in her dress.

She pulled the bracelet with a tug when her mind sparked with an idea.

She ran outside like a mad woman & called her parents.

Afsar Rahman & Rabiya entered the room.

She made them sit of couch & held their hands in hers & said " Ammi Abbu mai jo kehne jaa rahi hoon...usse khule dil aur dimag se sunen... Kisi dabaaw mein aakar nahi "

Afsar Rahman nodded with a knowing expression on his face while Rabiya nodded confusingly.

Sanam spoke " Mai chahti hoon ki...Haaris Inaayat ko apne Nikkah mein le "

A gasp escaped everyone's lips hearing Sanam.

Sayed abdullah got up & went near Sanam & said " Beta aise nahi hota...aapne duniya nahi dekhi hai... Haaris baccha hai...ussey mat ghaseeto inn sab mein...mai apki fikar ka shukrguzaar hoon beta leki-"

Sanam cut her father in law's words & said " Teis (23) ka hai woh aur mujhe duniya dekhne ka koi shauk nahi...mujhe sirf Inaayat se matlab hai...mai usse ab kahin dur nahi dekh sakti...rahi baat umar ki... Haraam nahi hai kamm umar ladke se Nikkah karna ya badi umar ki ladki se Nikkah karna...jab ladka das(10) saal bada ho toh koi kuch nahi kehta lekin yahan kya 5 saal ka farq aaya toh sabke kaleeje dukhne lagenge? "

(A/N sanam is me, me is sanam 🙃)

Sayed abdullah stayed silent watching the fire in Sanam's eyes.

He knew this little girl from long time & considered her as his daughter.

She was a head strong person.

Inaayat rubbed her hands on her face anxiously  & went to Ahmed & said " Samjhao apni biwi ko... Hum pareshaan hai iske matlab yeh nahi ki hum aise hi kisi ko apni pareshaani mein jodh lein "

Sanam went & held inaayat's hand & made her sit on couch & warned her " Mai jo kar rahi hoon... Sonch samajhkar kar rahi hoon...mera dimag mat kharab karo tum "

Inaayat fought back " Dimag kharab toh ho chuka hai tumhara Sanni... Kya bol rahi ho? Hosh mein ho... Chota bhai hai woh tumhara...logically soncho...don't act blind "

Sanam was about to reply when sound of door made everyone look up.

It was haaris with a horrific expression on his face.

He ran away immediately.

Sanam knew he heard it.

She took off her heels & ran behind him like a mad woman.

Inaayat held her head in her hands thinking about a way out of this mess.

Afsar Rahman & Rabiya looked at each other & went to Sayed abdullah & Tahira.

Afsar Rahman said " Badon ki baat bacchi karr rahi hai... Agar haaris maan gaya toh hum khushi khushi Inaayat beti ko apne bahu banalenge...humey kisi qism ka masla nahi..."

Tahira held Rabiya's hand & said " Aaplog yeh isliye keh rahe hai kyunki hum apki beti ka sasuraal hai."

She turned to Ahmed & said " Ahmed samjhao inhe...hum kabhi Sanam ko koi takleef nahi denge...aise pareshaan ho kar koi faisla na lein"

Rabiya spoke " Hum kisi dabaaw mein aakar nahi keh rahe hai...inaayat aapse zyada meri beti hai...saamne toh pali badi hai Sanam ke saath... Hum ton khush kismat maante hai hamare haaris ki zindagi mein itni achi ladki aayegi...jaisi Sanam hai hamare liye waise hi Inaayat hai aur uski Izzat bhi "

Tahira stayed silent.

Sanam entered the room along with Haaris who had no expression on his face.

Sanam said in a cheerful voice " Haaris Nikkah ke liye tayaar hai"

Inaayat stiffened hearing the News... She dug her nails in her palms in distress.

Sanam spoke " Aur tum " She pointed to Inaayat & continued " Tumhaari toh Haan hi hai...mai waise kuch aur sunne wali bhi nahi hoon"

Inaayat remained silent.

While Sayed Abdullah broke into tears.

He held Rehman's hands in his & said " Tumhara bohut Shukrguzaar hoon mai Rahman"

Afsar Rahman hugged Sayed Abdullah & said " Apne dil ka tukda de rahe hai aap...aise sharminda mat karen...Dua karen bacchon ke Ache Naseeb ke liye...hum hamari inaayat ko hamesha khush rakhenge inshallah aur Sanam ne toh Hukmaraani abhi se shuru kardi " He chuckled in the end.

Sanam whined " Abbuuu"

She then clapped her hands & said " Chalo dulha dulhan raazi bulaao ab Qazi "

Everyone chuckled at her.

Sanam picked the Dupatta from the ground & placed it on Inaayat's head & kisses her forehead.

Tears kept flowing down inaayat's cheeks.

Sanam & Sanam's family were doing biggest favor for her & her family.

She was grateful for Sanam.

(A/N Usually kya hota hai...it is shown ki bride's father orders that issi abhi ke abhi Nikkah karo... That's it... I mean samne wale kyun ready honge? Wo bhi Bina persuasion ke...yeh jo mediator hote hai na...inko bada dheet banna hota hai aise maamle set karte waqt...toh maine apni Sanam ko yeh zimmedaari dedi ke woh apni Nanand ka ghar basaaye...So thats why I thought ek part yeh bhi hona chahiye.
