Asfa's pov :

The day went in a blur and it was noon in no time and the ceremony starts in the evening and we got less time to get ready...

Well you must be confused, what is the award ceremony about right? well it's the 21st Annual business award ceremony, which is being held in LA ...

All the businessmen and women and entrepreneurs gets nominated and awarded for their splendid works...

I reached our penthouse and plopped the car keys on the kitchen counter and drank water hurriedly, as I was so thirsty and then I went inside my room and prepared the Jacuzzi for a warm bath, I put the lavender drops and bath bomb, then I got settled in the bathtub and the warm water relaxed my sore muscles, after a long bath! I got showered and wore my bath robe and came out..

And Humza was seated on the bed while removing his watch and he looked at me and his eyes widened! then realization dawned on me! I was standing in just the bathrobe and his face had that mischevious smirk ..

I gulped inaudibly under his intense gaze, he walked towards me in slow steps like capturing me in his gaze alone, then in a swift I was in his arms..

He nuzzled his nose on my wet neck, water droplets still dripping from my hair and placed a heated kiss on my neck..

"humzaa what are you doing? " I asked my voice came out as a moan than complaint, because of the wild beating of my heart...

He just replied with a hmm.. against my neck "we'll be late! " I said, in a raspy voice..

"fine! " he groaned and gave me a quick kiss on my lips, before disappearing inside the bathroom..

I regained my breath, while clutching my heart and I shook my head smilingly at his mischief, then I went inside our walk in closet and I blow dried my hair, then wore my dress which complemented my fair skin, and it was modest with no fancy works, just how I like...

Then, he entered the walk in closet in nothing but just a towel wrapped around his hips dangerously low! and I turned around immediately not to embarrass myself, my cheeks turned red..

His hair dripping wet and his well built in body and lean muscles inviting to ogle at him..

My handsome is damn sexy!

Get a grip on yourself asfa! I scolded myself...

"breathtaking! " he said, smiling devilishly..

I smiled at him, then he took his tux and quickly changed into it, on the other side of the closet, then he neared the dresser and I completed wrapping my hijab and I applied light makeup and all the time he was staring at me like a creep..

"if looking gorgeous and beautiful is a crime? then you'll be charged guilty! " he said, amusingly...

"flatterer! " I said and he laughed and neared me, he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead..

"red lipstick is a distraction for me and a sign of approaching danger for you! you know that right? " he said, smugly while leaning in..

I blushed and looked away and his lips landed on my cheek, which earned a groan from him..

"sorry hubby but no ruining of my lipstick! " I said, smiling proudly..

"Ok let's see what you'll do later, tonight " he said, grinning wickedly...

I just hit him playfully, then he gelled his hair in style and wore his watch and sprayed his cologne! which I love...

After he got ready I checked him out, he looked breathtakingly handsome

and he smirked at me catching me red handed and I just smiled, then I tied my face veil (niqab) and we left hand in hand to the parking lot, Then he took out his first love! I mean after me! his favorite Bugatti veyron and we drove off to the hotel...

It was a quite long journey and all the while we were laughing and talking about everything and anything and at last we arrived and it was the luxurious 5 star hotel where the awards ceremony will be held and two valets neared us and opened our door for us, we got down and Humza handled the keys to valet and they parked our car...

While the hotel was buzzing with noise as the constant arrival of cars continued and all the businessmen and women were present in the evening and the after party was in the ball room...

"nervous? " he asked me, as it was my first year in business and In award functions..

"a little! but not anymore as you're with me! " I said, smiling at him though he can't see my face..

He smiled and nodded at me, then I looped my hands with his and entered the hall and the crowd was huge, all the men dressed in tuxedos or suits and the women dressed in expensive gowns and the ceremony, has not started yet..

"where is this girl? " I asked him and he shrugged his shoulders..

"searching for us?" Rey asked, behind me and I turned around and was engulfed in a bear hug by Rey, she looked beautiful and bro did a man hug with Humza, then after sometime we were escorted to our table and it was the centre table in the entire hall..

We all four were seated in the same table, bro and Rey on the left while Humza and me on the right side on the round table..

No sooner the Award ceremony started and the stage was blaring with different lights and decorations made of glasses, giving it a ethereal look...

The host started the show with enthusiasm and the starting award was the RISING BUSINESSMAN OF THE YEAR and all the nominees name was announced and Humza squeezed my hand and Rey smiled nervously..

And the award goes to...... ASFA HANNAN IBRAHIM.. and my eyes were wide as saucers, I know that my name was nominated but I will win? I never thought! Humza hugged me tight and Rey squealed in happiness..

I was overwhelmed, then I went on the stage and and received the award and Humza was smiling at me ..

"few words Mrs Ibrahim?" the presenter, asked..

"well! I would love to thank my rab for showering me with his blessings! actually I feel honoured to receive this prestigious award and it's a symbol that women can achieve wonders! especially even with a niqab I mean (face veil) because achievement needs dedication and hard work and not based on religions and caste.. and I would like to dedicate this award to my family especially my husband who encouraged me to be myself! thank you! enjoy the evening everybody! " I said and handed the Mike and the crowd erupted in applause..

"I'm proud of you my love! " Humza said and kissed my temple lovingly..

Then, the award ceremony continued and various awards were given for various nominees and it was time for the last two awards...

And the BEST INTERNATIONAL ENTREPRENEUR AWARD goes to I was holding my breath and Rey held bro's hand tightly, because he was nominated for this award..

.....MR.ARHAAN QURESHI.. The presenter yelled and Rey squealed and hugged bro tightly, while we were smiling at them...

Humza hugged bro, then he received the award and he gave a small speech and dedicated his award to Rey and she was a smiling panda...

And it was the moment which we've waited for THE YOUNGEST AND MOST DEDICATED BUSINESSMAN OF THE YEAR...

But this was always a battle between Humza and his rival Mr John Stanford the CEO of the Stanford industry and their industry is also one of the best...

Both the CEO was young and very talented and bro told me about their rivalry since college days, Mr Stanford disliked Humza a lot...

And Humza was silent and yet he looked little nervous, I held his hands to give him assurance and he smiled a little and Mr Stanford gave us an arrogant smirk...

and the award goes to "the very talented and young achiever MR. HUMZA IBRAHIM.. " and he looked shocked and I hugged Humza tight, he chuckled and then bro hugged him too, then he went on the stage and received the award...

"would you like to share your recipe of success Mr Ibrahim?" the presenter asked, him..

"well! I would love to thank my lord! the almighty! because without his blessings, I will be not here! and there is no replacement for hard work and your determination decides whether you wanna achieve it or not and that's your secret! and I'm really thankful to my coworkers and my hardworking employees who made this possible and I dedicate this award to the three most important women in my life! who motivated me to achieve this and enjoy your evening everybody! " he said smilingly, and the crowd went wild...

He came towards us "proud of you my hubby! " I said, in a chirpy tone ..

He smiled at me and then the ceremony ended and we all moved to the ball room for the after party and everyone neared us and congratulated me and Humza and we thanked them..

And the dance floor began to filled with couples and they were dancing happily..

Third person's pov :

"will you dance with me milady? " Humza asked his darling wife, smiling mischievously...

"sure handsome! " she took his hand and they walked to the dance floor and began to dance, the music suddenly turned into a soft and slow tune and they danced to the slow music! while she put her hand on his shoulder and he put his hand on her waist pulling her closer to him..

While all the girls envied asfa! as they thought! the girl who was covered from head to toe even her hands were covered with gloves had got him? when they were literally showing off their body to everyone to catch attraction! or to look attractive among them and they wished to be in her position for having such an amazing,, handsome and talented man as her husband, while many were jealous because of their blooming business all over the world..

Haan and Rey too was dancing to the slow music...

"I'm so happy! " Rey said happily..

"I'm too! Cara Mia, the day I met you was the most beautiful day in my life! I'm ever thankful to Allah, for blessing me with you and our little one! " Haan said, happily and contented with his life..

"it's the same feeling Haan! you're the most loving and caring husband in the world! " she said, while tears brimmed her eyes! these pregnancy hormones is making her emotional Now a days, she thought!...

He kissed her forehead lovingly and after sometime they left the dance floor, as she was feeling tired..

*********

"where are we going? " asfa asked, Humza excitedly...

"it's surprise darling! " Humza said grinning, because he had planned an awesome dinner and suite for them to spend their night...

He made way to the beach resort, as he had booked a honeymoon suite for them, after reaching there the manager directly escorted them to their ensuite, then he opened the door of the room and asfa was very eager to know her surprise and the presidential suite was decorated beautifully! and she gasped seeing the beautiful room it had the beach view ..

They entered and she removed her Veil and he removed his jacket too, then he pulled a chair for her to sit and she settled down

Humza had ordered their favorite dishes, he had ordered Chicken lasagna, white sauce pesto, schezwan noodles with mint mojito and blue lagoon...

Asfa beamed with joy seeing their favorite dishes and soon dug in and Humza had ordered dark chocolate pastry and mango paraffit for them and they were talking happily...

After completing dinner asfa looked at the calm sea shore, it looked beautiful under the moonlight! the water was looking pale blue with a touch of black, making it look like a magic and the same was Humza feeling towards asfa..

He wrapped his arms around her waist, it was chilly weather in California! it gave asfa enough warmth...

"it's beautiful! " she said, looking at the sea..

"indeed it's " he said, looking at her while she sensed that he was not talking about the sea and then, he undid her hijab and let her hair flow freely, her black long hair gave her a more breathtaking look! he moved her hair to aside and he kissed her neck sensually..

Tingling sensations erupted in her body sending sparks everywhere, then he looked at her, his gaze filled with love and care! he leaned down but asked "may I? " and she nodded at him, because she knew he was the only one! whom Allah have blessed her with, to love! to care! to respect! till eternity...

She did not held herself back, when he began to kiss her passionately! his kiss was rough and full of urgency and she responded him fully, like the way he wanted! his lips dominated hers and both were dissolved in the kiss and then he slowed down the pace, his kiss turned soft and he was kissing her like she's made of some rare chinaware like one wrong move it'll broke her! he kissed her with all his might and when they parted both were breathing hard and it was becoming difficult for Humza to control his desire, she looked Heavenly beautiful for him...

Their foreheads still intact Humza was having second thoughts, if she was ready or not? but all his thinking flew out of the window! when she tiptoed and started kissing him, his heart filled with joy and happiness he was beyond happy! then he took the control of the kiss as he nibbled on them and sucked her lower lips hungrily...

He carried her to bed...

and placed her on the bed, then he began to trail kisses from her jaw line to her soft spot and the hollow of her throat and she tugged his hair making him groan and she was moaning with pleasure...

He gave a hickey on her collar bone and said "mine! You're so beautiful darling! my eyes had not seen a beauty like you "he said, wholeheartedly..

She blushed and said "solely yours and my beauty is only for you! My love! I love you for the sake of Allah! " she said, and he again kissed her..

His heart warmed with her sweet gestures...

"I'm so so lucky to have you as my wife darling! I'll try my best to fulfill all your needs and take care of you, I'll try follow our prophets sunnah and I'll try to be the best husband for you! I love you too! for the sake of Allah darling! " he said huskily and kissed her forehead lovingly..

She closed her eyes feeling his touch and she felt blessed to have him, in her life...

He moved her dress from her shoulder and began to trail his kisses across her face and began kissing her neck to shoulder blade then creating a pathway to collar bone she was overwhelmed with the sensations which she never ever experienced...

Then, they got lost in each other with love, affection, care,feelings, euphoria desire and excitement ..

The blissful union in the cold midnight with peace and serenity and the stars and the moon danced in delight by the union of the two souls in a rightful manner...

Their hearts and soul connected with each other and their bodies become one and it was a pure bliss for them they were two bodies one soul Now...

SHE BECAME HIS! AND HE BACAME HERS! FOREVER TILL ETERNITY...

Indeed halal love starts after nikah...

As Allah promised (indeed after hardship there is ease)....

No sooner fajr adhan was called and their alarm rang and it was 5:30 and asfa was looking cute in his shirt and he prepared a bath for them, as they have to pray fajr salah...

"asfa....darling wake up! it's time for fajr salah baby !" he woke her up and she opened her eyes slowly and she was so exhausted, she blinked back several times to see her husband standing half naked and realization dawned upon her remembering what happened between them yesterday night and she blushed shyly...

He carried her to the bathroom, as she was sore and then they both got showered and she wore a long Maxie which covered her fully, And he wore clothes for prayer...

He lead the prayer both partners content with each other standing in front of their lord, to show their gratitude and it was the best ever feeling for them...

After completing their salah, they chanted in the name of Allah and Humza read the Surah ar-rahman while the sun was rising from the sea giving the beach an amazing look, the blues mixed with the orange hue making it look serene...

Asfa was happy to be in his arms forever! she could not ask for anything more! she felt contented, she mumbled Alhamdulillah! a gazillion times...

Both were tired, after reciting the Surah he carried her to bed as her limbs will be hurting, then he placed her porcelain form in the bed and he joined her to pillow her head on his chest, both the partners slept in each others arms with a content smile on their faces...
