Wajdan looked at me confused. "Do you know him?". She asked.
"Oh my god Zayn!!". I took the phone to look clearer "Of course I know him, he is my friend".
She made an O shape with her mouth "but how comes, he didn't know we are related?".
"I knew him not too long, and you don't live here remember?".
She rolled her eyes "No I can't remember! But they have been together with Lujaina, for 3 years, now".
"Wow!" I turned to Lujaina "I wish you all the best, a happy marriage, with harmony, love and Allah's blessings". I said.
"Ameen, thank you so much". Lujaina answered beaming.
"With beautiful tiny children!" Wajdan exclaimed and I face palmed. "Ohh! I can't wait to be Aunt". She added, looking up dreamily.
I pushed her shoulders and she laid on the bed laughing "We should wait for the wedding first".
Lujaina's phone rang and she excused herself to the balcony. We talked with Wajdan from nothing to everything, how she was schooling in Paris, finding it hard to learn her course which includes French. I always have the passion of learning new languages too.
"When are we going for shopping? you know mom shopped for the wedding, but I still want to buy some things". She stated.
"Tomorrow will be better, since it's Sunday, the malls will be less crowded". I suggested.
"Lets go tomorrow then, but you will have to pack to our house for the wedding events, it will be more fun and you don't have to keep coming like a guest".
"I don't have to sleep at the bride's house to attend my cousin's wedding, and besides I came back from a holiday today, I will have to spend some time at home before Ammi will allow me to sleep over anywhere". I stated. I spent a week leaving Ammi alone in the house, though Abba was around but I don't really want to go anywhere.
"You don't have to worry about it, I will surely convince her, trust me on that". She smiled. I groaned inwardly, she don't get it!. But my response was just a smile.
"Ladies, Zayn is coming to meet with Dad tomorrow, and he suggested that we go shopping together". Lujaina announced.
Wajdan grinned "That will be great!". She exclaimed. "Ikhbal where is your best friend?".
"Layla. She is fine, she left not long ago". I answered. She knew layla on one of their holiday here, when we were in our junior secondary section.
"I would love to meet her, please tell her to come along".
I smiled and nodded, just then my phone started vibrating.
"Aunty, I forgot to call you, I reach home safely".
"Don't worry, how is your Ammi?". Aunty Asiya asked.
"She is fine, Aunty Salma is here too, she traveled from Egypt today".
"Ohh really? Greet her for me, they must have come for Lujaina's wedding".
"Ohh!". I paused, I guess I was the only one that wasn't aware of Lujaina's wedding till now.
Am I the only one that hate surprises? Yes!!!
I heard chatters in the background. "Okay, I have to go now, let the twins not destroy my kitchen".
"Ok goodbye Aunty". I hanged up.
***
We all joined Ammi to eat lunch, hence, with Ammi's insisting, Aunty Salma got to eat before going. We finished and went back upstairs.
