The d day........
Aunty won't kill me ...... Why is she sending me pictures of decorations?
I finally decided to call.
Phone conversation.
Me: Zahra please don't kill me.
Her: You have seen nothing. Before I forget..... She pauses. What are you even wearing?
Me: Why are you asking?
Her: I know you. You can wear anything cause you lack sense. Anita is coming from New York. Brinda will be here from California. Farida is also coming..... So you have to look good.
Me: Aunt all these people ain't idols. So why should I worship them? I'll wear whatever.
Her: It's not like that. She laughs. You know who I am. And exist...
Me: Well Amor sent me a dress.
Her: Amor. Why him? What about Fahad?
Me: Aunty. Fahad is crazy. He heard when I said I don't like maroon but he got a maroon dress which I rejected.
Her: Waliya. Why are you so cold? You would have just collected it and kept it. Poor boy.
Me: you can call him and tell him to give you the dress since you pity him.
Her: Nonsense!
Me: Thanks, darling.
Her: See you at my party tonight. I have to attend to the guest.
I ended the call.
Amor came early this morning and gave me a yellow gown. I love it and can't wait to slip into it. I smiled.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""***
I had my makeup done by Amna. She is a professional. I had to pay 200k just for a birthday. I hissed.
Wait! Why would someone spend such an amount on makeup? Just like Aunty who goes to parties almost every Saturday. 200k just like that. Ahhh! I exclaimed.
The door opened when I was about to zip my dress.
"I can help you with that". Fahad came in.
"No. Thank you". I rejected.
"We are ready. We are waiting for you".
"I have my car I'll be driving myself". I faced the mirror.
He came to my back then zip my dress.
"It will be nice if we go as a couple".
I turned to face him.
"Why?" I raised an eyebrow. "Don't even dare annoy me today in the presence of King and the rest".
"You look beautiful". He stared at my eyeball.
"Gosh. Why is he looking so deep?" I looked away.
"Please waliya. Let's go together. If not for my sake but for Aunty Zahra's sake". He pleaded.
After thinking and hissing and murmuring. I agreed.
"Thank you". He hugged. I pushed him away immediately.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Binta was the first person I met immediately after dropping off the car.
"Welcome". She opened her ugly teeth and smiled.
"Good evening". Both Fahad and Karima greeted her.
