EXTRA MILE FOR LOVE

10: Her saviour

Amaryadotcom Spa parlor,
10:00am .

"Ouchhh! Just let me be. I can't do this anymore." Najma groaned in pain.

"I warned you, but no! Miss Najma Hisham Ahmad insisted on getting a sugar wax done on her skin. Be grateful that you're not that hairy, you'd have passed out by now you know." Basma chuckled.

All the bridesmaids there took turns in giving Najma motivational talks. "You've already started this, you'll have to be a strong woman and suck it up." Ameerah teased.

Najma was really regretting her decision of getting this sugar wax done. The bride was the only one who got it done, but Najma wanted to look like the second bride that she's not. The funny part about Najma's wails is, you never see a drop of tear on her face.

"Is this how you're going to behave when it's time for your own wedding?" Ameerah asked.

"Hell no! I'm going to go through all the pain for my Prince you know. He will be worth it." Najma spoke gently closing her eyes as if she was day dreaming.

"You should tell Baban Marwa I'm tired of waiting. If he doesn't come get me then I'll go and get him myself." Najma squealed with delight.

"Wait a minute, Baban Marwa? So you've already chosen a name for a baby that you haven't met her father yet?" Ameerah flashed an unbelievable look at Najma.

"Of course, Our first female child shall be named Marwa insha Allah. Don't worry, I know her Dad will soon find me and propose to me." Najma spoke confidently raising both eyebrows.

"Is this what you deal with everyday?" Ameerah asked Basma. By now she was really looking for the award of the most dramatic person in Nigeria to give to Najma.

"I'm already used to it. She hasn't showcased even half of her dramatic talent yet." Basma chuckled.

This reminds me, who's going to do your makeup?" Ameerah asked Najma.

"Makeup? You know I've never got a makeup done before, like a really proper one done by a professional. I refer to just wear a nude makeup done by me."

"You must be kidding me! Najma you still haven't realized how big this dinner is going to be right? Non of my bridesmaids are going to go makeup free. So you had better start looking for a makeup artist before Friday." Ameerah announced.

"Ameerah,why have you vowed to stress me out during this weeding? God bless you, this wedding should end without me finding Mr. Right." Najma rolled her eyes.

"What's the need for Mr.Right ? When you've Mr.Anonymous" She winked .

"I don't blame you honestly. You're bound to behave like this since he paid for our shopping. Mr.Anonymous that we don't even know if he's a jinn."

"Najma please don't make me choke." Ameerah declared after she sipped the tea that was in her right hand. Because what Najma said really cracked her up.

"I'm serious. Don't you hear all these jinns stories ?"

"Just carry on with the waxing please, We really need her to keep shut." Ameerah said to the worker that was standing next to Najma.

"No please, not the sugar wax. I'd opt out for body polishing and brightening facials instead."

"Najma ! Take it easy. Look at you tabarakallah Masha Allah, You've a fair, spotless and glass skin. What's with the body polishing?" Ameerah asked looking at Najma from head to toe.

"Ha'ah! Hello everyone can i have your attention please" Najma stood up calling out everyone's attention.

"Why did you have to provoke her? Now look at the scene she's going to create here." Basma spoke through gritted teeth to Ameerah. "I should have kept quiet for real" Ameerah declared shutting her eyes tight.
