Chapter No 20

As he entered the room, the unpleasant odour filled his nostrils. Soon he gets to know what was it

Anabia was applying mehndi at her hands

“What are you doing?” He was fuming as she lifted her gaze to his

“I’m ..” but as always he didn’t give her a chance to speak. Instead he held her wrist and dragged her to the bathroom

“Kya ker rahe hain aap, meri mehndi kharab ker di aap ne (What are you doing? You’ve ruined my Mehndi)”

He was as if not listening to her, Turning the tap on he brought her hands under it and …

All her hard work went down the drain

Her mehndi was washed away. Maier was now washing his own hands with soap while she stared at her hands with teary eyes

“What have you done?” Anabia was feeling very bad. She loves Mehndi and she has this art that she can apply mehndi using both her hands. She was done with her left hand and drying it, she was applying it to her right palm when intruding he ruined everything

He passes an angry glare to her, “I don’t like it”

“What?” She didn’t get it

“Mehndi, I hate it” he was now drying his hands with towel, “Never again dare to apply it”

He went out while she turned on the faucet again washed the remaining stains of Mehndi rubbing her hands harshly

“When I’ll get marry, I’ll fill both my hands till arms with Henna” Anabia was applying Mehndi to Sabeen’s hand at her wedding who was asking to keep it minimal

“And if your husband hates Henna then what’ll you do?” Sabeen teased her

“Aisa ho hi nahi sakta (It’s not possible)”

He ruined her wedding and now if she was going to do something by her own wish, he wasted it too.

“You’re looking very beautiful. I’m sure your husband won’t be able to take his gaze off you” she smiled at beautician’s comment

Anabia thought she was exaggerating it but when she takes a look at herself in the mirror, she has to admire the work beautician did. She was indeed looking beautiful but she knew her husband won’t even acknowledge it

“Maria is Anabia ready?” Saiqa entered the bridal room along with Manal and when she saw her she couldn’t hold but complimenting her

“MASHA-ALLAH my daughter is looking so pretty”

She was now feeling nervous and she didn’t attempt to hide it

“Mumma I’m feeling nervous”

“Why are you nervous? We all are with you, so now just smile” and she smiled as Saiqa encouraged her and Manal gave her a side hug

“Yes, my Bhabhi is the prettiest bride ever”

“Stop flattering”

“I’m sure Maier Bhai would …” Before Manal could continue Maier entered

“Mom what’s this? Salaar is so insistent to have photoshoot. I am not doing it, Tell him” Irritated, he slumped to sofa while her heart doing marathon now

What would be his reaction seeing her

“Bhai please don’t deny, I’ve to show my friends the album”
