After the wedding rituals , it was the time for celebrations , all the women and men changed their attires and joined for celebrating and blessing the newly weds.
Altunia could not take his eyes off Razia who was looking beyond beautiful in her red and blue attire. Nasir noticed this and whispered into Altunia’s ear “Altunia , will you please shut your mouth so that a fly won’t get into your mouth?” Altunia , came out of his lala land and smiled apologetically.
Nasir then drew back his attention to Fatimah who looked undoubtedly beautiful but tiered “Do you want to go and take rest in your chamber?” asked a concerned Nasir “Oh , no no ,
it’s alright , I’m enjoying the night.” she replied with a smile , to this Nasir smiled back and nodded .

Good Night begum.” he said with a smile and headed to his room ‘ leaving behind a surprised , yet relieved Fatimah.
