Zaroon was standing in the balcony enjoying the calm breeze, breeze was passing by him making a wheez sound, atmosphere was little cool after a bright sunny day of May month when sun was doing extra work of enhancing the temperature of already hot earth, but it was cool now due to moon's presence.
Zehra was similar like moon in his life, after spending a bright sunny day, she is just like a calming, shiny moon which cools down his stress and shines up his whole existence.
It has been nearly three months to his engagement and these past months they have became good friends. Before starting a relationship they were trying to know each other in different lights.
Each passing days were giving him proof that he has selected an amazing person to be his life partner. She is more amazing and kind person than he always thought. She is generous, kind, lovely person, who cares the most for her family and her family values are everything for her.
However how much he wants to marry early, he can't really do that as he has promised her. But he doesn't regret his decision even an ounce because of the happiness she will be getting when she would be graduated as bachelor as she wishes.
Now a days he really look forwards to their chatting, they never talked on call. They always talks on texts. Usually they talk at night but sometimes they talk during day time also but it is rare thing. He was thinking about her when his phone notification pinged and he knew who it was as he had set her ringtone different than others.
His face lit up just like his mobile screen and he returned back to his room and grabbed his phone from night stand, he plopped down on his king sized bed. He was behaving like a teenager but does he care? Not at all.
Zehra : As salamu alaikum.
Zaroon : Walaikum as salam, how was your day?
Zehra: Don't ask..🥺
Zaroon: What happened?😟
Zehra: It was too hectic..🤕
Zaroon: Don't worry, this hard work will pay off.
Zehra: in sha allah, you tell me how was your day?
Zaroon: As usual, busy.
Zehra: Hmm
Zaroon: What happened? Is something wrong?
It made Zehra smile. Because this person in mere past months started know her so well, he can easily understand if she is not feeling well or something is off with her, how? is still unknown to her.
He is an amazing person, what she got to know is he never shows off about anything, he doesn't let any person down to raise his own self, he is a kind of a person who is rare to find these days and she is glad that she found him.Her heart did a familiar flutter on his question and her rosy cheeks turned more rosy, her pale eyes shined brightly due to the stretching of her lips upwards.
Zehra: How do you know that something is wrong?
Zaroon: I just know, now tell me what is wrong?
Zehra: But how do you get to know always?
Zaroon: That's for me to know and you to discover. Now don't change the topic!
Zehra: It's just that i feel i am not worthy enough to be a doctor.
Zaroon: If you ask me then you are the most worthy person to be a doctor.
Zehra: How can you say that? You have not seen me working!
Zaroon: it's true I haven't seen you working but i know how much hard work you have done to reach here, how much efforts you put everyday to be on the place you are today.
Zehra: You just always know how to make me feel light. You are doing these from our first meeting it self.
Zaroon: I feel that's my duty, if Not me than who would do it?
And don't worry i intend to do it my whole life.he thought.
Zehra: Thank you.
Zaroon: You know you doesn't have to thank me right?
Zehra: But i want to..🤫
Zaroon: Okay, I accept it. Now happy?
Zehra: Very..😃
And just like that they talked to each other like they have been doing it in past months. The hesitation was now disappeared and they have been able to talk to each other freely. They can easily talk to each other without being judged and that was the best thing they both knew was.
Both had some indescribable emotions towards each other but both were avoiding to give it some name due to their relationship or may be due to they think it was not a time to think about that, but both were happy in their own bubble of happiness which may be going to burst soon or may be grow even bigger! Only time will tell.

Time has a one thing in common, when you are sad it passes slowly , but when you are happy it passes hurriedly.
That was the thing with both of them. It feels like only yesterday was the day when they met, or they got engaged and started chatting but time has passed quickly and before knowing it here , Zehra is sitting in a bridal showroom to select her Lehnga, time has surely passed quickly.
She was waiting for her desired Lehnga which she has chose after spending nearly 3 hours in these shop. She was waiting for trial. When her phone pinged due to notification. She knew who it was as she also have put a different notification tone for His text.
Zaroon: How your shopping is going?
Zehra: how do you know i am doing shopping?
Zaroon: oh i know more than that, but first tell me, have you chose your sharara (Lehnga) already?
Zehra: no way ,tell me first how do you know i am doing that now?
Zaroon: oh! Have you forgot that you only told me that you are going on bridal dress shopping on Sunday?
Zehra: oh..😅 I actually forgot.
Zaroon: now tell me have you decided?
Zehra: Yup, i have..😁
Zaroon: which color is it? Or even better send me a picture!🤩
Zehra: No first you tell me are you done with your sherwani shopping?
Zaroon: yeah, just took trial.
Zehra: which color is it?
Zaroon: first you tell me, then i will tell.
Zehra: Fine..
Zaroon: Fine what?
Zehra: I am not telling you, so even you don't tell me.
Zaroon: fine by me.
Zehra: Gotta go, my Lehnga is here for trials.
Zaroon: Good luck.

Shopping was going on full fledge, zehra finally started to feel like a bride with all preparations, catering menus,testings,different heavy clothes and almost all relatives arriving at her house as her wedding is 10 days away.
It was decided that she was going to get married after 7 days of her convocation ceremony. Which was of course decided by her and Zaroon which actually everyone do not know except four people, she, Zaroon, Zaroon's mom and yes Afi. Only four people knows that wedding date was a mutual decision of bride and groom.
Zehra has already started to have wedding jitters and not talking to Zaroon was adding more to her misery. According to her Mama that before 15 days of wedding, they should stop talking because of many reasons such as she should spend more time with her family and friends, she should more concentrate on her packing and stuff, there will be more excitement for both of them if they will stop chatting. But none of them was accepted by Zehra but one glare from her mama and she agreed on her demand much to her and Zaroon's dismay.
But now only 10 days were left and with that she will leave this house, her family, her room,her everything behind just to become a wife of Zaroon.
