Areezah's point of view.
The supposed party was so boring for me at first, maybe because the main event haven't started yet or because I didn't have anyone to talk to while Hannan was busy with her Husband Kabir. Plus Jameel wasn't helping matters by staring at me every now and then, makes me feel like something is wrong with me.
But luckily, The twins and christy arrived out of nowhere and it then clicked that Hannan must have Invited them. All of them were seen with their respective husbands except for christy of course.
Ilkimah had shouted my name so loud that everyone had to turn their heads. I was so happy to see them.
Not long we started chatting our lives away, each of us filling in everyone on to what has been up lately. I couldn't help but laugh at some of Hannan's and Ilkimah's cruel jokes. At some point I felt embarrassed but I couldn't help it.
We the ladies were still standing outside the venue since we were still conversing and checking each other's outfits out, the husbands are long forgotten!
A very pretty lady then emerged from the Inside heading to where we stood. She was wearing a light blue dress flowing perfectly up to her Toes. She had her head tied in the same material and a milked colour bag to match. She was absolutely pretty, Her slim figure blends in perfectly with her beauty.
Hannan hurriedly went over and hugged her and they laughed with gusto.
"Guys, this is Minal Suraj. She's the lady of the day!" Hannan denotes excitedly. I recalled back to when Hannan told me about Minal.
"Hey ladies! You all look lovely this evening really, I can't believe I have had pretty ladies as families all along. Come on! Hannan how am I just meeting them now?" Minal begans, pouting as she said so.
I guess Hannan wasn't lying when she said Minal was high spirited. Minal goes on and on about herself, she Finished from UKUS and now owns a private hospital at 20! I couldn't believe it, whereas we are just 19 and still in our 100levels. But Allah always has a reason for everything.
The party was in great pomp the moment we stepped in, I didn't think it'd be as full as I had imagined Infact it was beyond.
The guys motioned for us to come over to their place, their table contained 11 chairs in which five was already occupied by them. The ladies then filled in the rest of the six chairs.
It happened that I was sitting close to Jameel.
I then look around and found the others too were sitting besides their husbands! Except for christy who sat close to Hannan. Like it was planned.
Jameel didn't keep his eyes off me, all these while he's been watching my every move. Could he atleast just stop gawking? I feel like I'm underdressed or even looking like a zombie.
"Hey Ree," he whispered for only two of us to hear. I looked over at the others and see that they are all busy staring at each other lovey dovey-ish and conversing except for christy who's busy with her phone.
"You've been staring at me far too long. You're making me feel uncomfortable." I say, a small annoyance could be sensed from my voice.
"I just can't help it, you've never looked this pretty." He tells me. Never? Lalai ma.
"Oh? Are you trying to tell me that it's all thanks to the makeup on my face? So on a norms am always ugly ko?" I questioned, getting annoyed by the minute. He was so good with words few days ago what then changed.
"Haba! You know I dont mean it like that," a loopsided smile was all over his face. " like wallah I've never seen someone so beautiful, wallah I'm being honest with you. Normally you're pretty but seeing you like this now, just doubles it over. You don't know how soon I want us to go home cause I can't stand seeing others admiring you the way I do." He rambles, toh fa!
