The Struggle for Love Different Countries

Mehendi Night

Before they return to the shahzad parents' house in the village, everyone today will go shopping for clothes for walima shahzad and nazulfa events.

They took the nazulfa to a boutique located in the city of Lahore. Nazulfa without much demand just said you can choose which clothes are suitable for him at the event.

"Fire ji.. Do you like wear read color?"

"of course. why not." replied nazulfa.

"actually here the red color is usually used when baraat, and when walima time wear others color, and, but because I see you in Malaysia marry time wear silver color so here we want you wear read color.." explains guriya sister-in-law who is different age 4 years from him.

Shahzad's mother asked Guriya to accompany the nazulfa and convey every request of the family. Because of the age difference that is not so far they are even like friends.

Everyone finished shopping and they went back home. Then the next day they were on the way to the house of birth shahzad, the hometown of her husband.

"Now.. We arrive home.." said guriya.

They got out of the car and everyone in the house gathered to welcome the nazulfa.

"Mashallah... Welcome to our home" said one of nazulfa's brother-in-law's wives

Guriya immediately took the nazulfa to a room, indicating that it was the nazulfa and shahzad rooms.

The room is neatly arranged and a little decorated like a newlyweds room. Even though furniture is not new. But the nazulfa heart was very happy to see the welcome of the shahzad family to him.

"Tomorrow evening we will do the Mehendi Night function. So api can rest now. Maybe you will tired for the next few days." said Guriya

"Okay thank you guriya." sahut nazulfa

Tonight at the dinner table everyone enjoyed the meal while making a joke. Nazulfa who did not understand urdu was only a loyal listener.

One by one the great shahzad families gathered in their homes. Apparently before their return shahzad's mother had immediately told the whole family that she would make a simple event welcoming a new son-in-law and a little event ngundoh montu.

After Maghrib nazulfa was prepared for mehendi night.

This mehendi event does not require a wedding fairy, because this event we only wear simple clothes. Nazulfa wears a yellow dress, complete with bracelets and jewelry, a set of her dress colors.

Shahzad wears a navy salwar kameez with a yellow shawl around his neck.

Nazulfa was taken out and sat on a chair that had been prepared.

Likewise with the Shahzad, he was also ordered to sit in the same chair.

This event should be made separately in the family home. But since nazulfa and shahzad are married, they make the show one. The nazulfa family wasn't there.

In this event.., the family will be called one by one to be encouraged to give oil on the head, rubbed in the hair. Poking the hena on the bride's palm. After that feed the barfi to the bride. They really like when going to feed barfi into the mouth of the bride, they even pull a spoon of barfi so that it makes a funny atmosphere and makes a laugh. After that, they turned the money around on the bride's head and placed it as a mehendi night gift.

One by one, everyone followed this ritual. That night they were very tired, almost at 1.00am the night of the event was comfortable

People in mehndi night..

They brought a plate made of paper with a candle on it..

Wear a colorful bracelet and walk hand in hand towards the bride.

In this event the girls will dance and they also sing the verse by hitting the drums..

But in ordinary modern times they no longer hit the drum, they only use music with a sound system.
