Soha paced around the room, biting on her nails and running a hand through her hair locks, messing them further, she exhaled a heavy breath dropping herself on the bed.
"Kia karu mai!?" She exclaimed throwing off her slippers, and getting her legs on the bed.
Apparently, it was D-Day, the party, and although Salaar being the thoughtful guy he was had brought her a dress and matching heels, she just couldn't gather the courage to go with him.
She stared at the right to look at the red dress hanging there, it was beautiful. She couldn't kill it's spark by just wearing it and going with him. She wanted to shine today, but how?
She decided to listen to her sister's advice and getting up, made her way to Maria's room.
"Uh, bhabhi?" She knocked and entered the room once she heard her low 'come in' from inside.
"Bolo Soha. Kia hua? Kuch chahiye?"
She continued folding her pile of clothes giving Soha a glance."Actually, I've to go to a business party with...Salaar today. So I was wondering.....if you could help me in making these," Soha held her hair slightly pointing at them, "look presentable."
"Haye Allah! Yeh koi wonder karne wali baat hai!" She threw away the piece of clothing, happily walking towards Soha, "I'm gonna make you look presentable as a whole, sweetheart. You don't even know how much I've wanted to open my own parlour.." she twirled Soha and held her hands, as Soha let out a nervous laugh. She probably wouldn't regret it later, right?
"Ow!" Soha winced once again as Maria inserted another pin in the bun she had designed her hair into.
"It's all done!" She exclaimed satisfied, looking at the hairstyle she had come up with.
"Bhabhi? Apko nahi lagta yeh kuch zyada hi...thop diya hai?" Soha pointed at her face, wanting to rub off the party make-up Maria had applied on her face, taking a whole hour.
"Chup karo! Trust me, you're gonna see girls faces caked up with much more than this over there. And I gotta say this," Maria sat on the corner of the dressing table staring at her face, "you look much more beautiful with make-up on too."
No, Salaar said I look much beautiful without it.
Soha bit on her lower lip as she tried peering at the hair bun at the back of her head.
"Idhar dekho!" Maria held onto her chin, lifting her face up. "Ab agar tumne lipstick khai na tou dekhna!"
She again applied the red lipstick on her lips, then told her to rub her lips together by doing the action herself."Oof. Let me take a picture of you. Itni mehnat se tayar kia hai mai ne!" Maria grabbed her phone as Soha awkwardly sat there, her nerves growing anxious by each passing second as the time to go neared.
