"Aliyah, father said I should bring you downstairs"Usman said.

"ohh"was what I could say because I really didn't know how I was going to reply.

"Aliyah, you don't need to be nervous, I am here for you"he said walking towards me and pulling me closer as I laid my head on his chest.

"now we should go, everyone is waiting"

"I will just come"

"now is not the time to be stubborn"he said jokingly "you have to come with me"he said holding my hands.

"Aisha, what about you?"Usman asked.

"I will just follow you guys"she replied. I leaned forward towards Aisha then I whispered in her ear. "tell Fazil, i am sorry" I and Usman then walked outside as he closed the door behind me.

****Afrah's P. O. V***

The Nikah was done in the masjid and the wedding was going to be in the hall. Everyone was greeting the new bride and her husband I also wanted to give them my blessings.

"let's go over to Aliyah and Ibrahim"i said facing my husband

"you just go, I want to speak with aliyah's father"

"congratulations dear"i said pulling her into a hug. I knew how tired she must be now.

"Afrah, is that you"she suddenly said after releasing herself from my hug.

"yes dear, we moved back here recently"

"that's great"she said smiling and I bet she hasn't even changed a bit maybe just more beautiful and as always cheerful.

"barakhallahu laka, Wa baaraka 'alayka, Wa jama'a baynakuma fee khayrin(may Allah bless you and shower is blessings upon you,and join you together in goodness)"I said facing both Aliyah and Ibrahim.

"jazakhaallah khairan"Ibrahim said smiling.

"Aliyah!"I turned in the direction of the voice then I saw him, the only one I had wished I never saw even if all I wanted was to see him.

"Afrah"he said slowly but more shocked than surprised. We both walked away from aliyah and Ibrahim. Ibrahim had said we needed to talk.

"how are you"he finally asked when we reached a place where people were less.

"I am fine"I said lowering my gaze.

"who did you come here with"he asked

"my husband"i answered and i knew he wished I told him something else.

"how is he...and you"

"we are fine and happy together, he his great and awesome also he is very loving"i said slowly even though I had lied I prayed he believed me and I wished I sounded convincing.

"ohh"

"I should go now"i said awkwardly.

"hmm, yeah actually it was nice seeing you again"he said half smiling.

"yeah"i said then walked away. My heart beat beating faster than it actually use to like I had just dropped something heavy.

****Aliyah's P. O. V***

I was getting so tired of this wedding, I wanted to go away, far away, the giggling,laughing,everything was making me sick.

"Aliyah!"Aisha whispered as she came near me.

"how is Fazil, where is he now"i asked really concerned.

"he left really furious and said he wont stop until he gets you back. He said he couldn't watch you get married to another man so he left"

"oh my!"I said putting my hand on my chest.

"I need to find out if he is alright, okay and if he reached home safely"

"aliyah, you know Fazil can take care of himself he will be fine"

***************

"good bye mother"i said hugging her tightly like I was afraid to let her go.

I and Ibrahim were leaving soon and since he had so much work to do we weren't going on any honeymoon, we were going to his house which was in the countryside. Not very far from him but not close.

"I will miss you so much Habibti and Ibrahim you better take care of my daughter"mother said and I could already imagine the death glare she must be giving Ibrahim now.

I hugged father then usman.

"you better visit, I know your work place is not so far from where I am going to be staying now"i said before letting him go.

"I will aliyah and I definitely will miss you"

"Aisha, please do tell aunt to let you visit sometime. You know I don't know anyone around there and please Aisha take care of Fazil for Me"i said whispering the last part to her "tell him I will see him soon"i added.

"yes I will surely visit and I will deliver your message"

I wiped the tear that was now on my face now because I was really going to miss everyone of them.

"bye!"They all said together before I entered the car. With the media and all the questions I was glad I finally got away.

The driver drove slowly as I hand Ibrahim were silent and none of us talked until Ibrahim decided to break the silence. I guess he isn't the shy type.

"are you okay"he asked

"yes I am fine"

"if you need anything, you could just talk to me you know. I am really not that bad"

"I said I am fine"i said moving my face to the other side. I knew this was definitely going to be a long night.
