Afreen's POV
"Afreen!!i really can't believe i am getting married a day after tomorrow! Ya Allah it seems all like a dream! One which I don't want to wake up from" sabrinah says as we lay on my bed watching tv and eating .....
"Yeah! I know i also can't believe i am spending my last night with you as my single best friend sab! Oh I'm surely gonna miss you!" I reply wiping a tear that was threatening to fall! I really hate people seeing me in tears! I don't know why i just don't like people seeing me in pain.....
"Ha! So much for*you aren't going on a mission of no return you are just getting married *"sabrinah says repeating what i told her the day we went shopping .....
"Uhmm whatever!!! I ddnt just want you to get all too emotional outside! "I replied her rolling my eyes....and turning to face the ceiling ...
"Oh my God!!!!!!"sabrinah squealed ...
"What on earth has gotten into you sab!its late for Allah's sake! Shut up or keep your voice down.." i say
"Noo reen! Turn turn turn....you've got to see this"she says hitting me to turn and see whatever she wants me to see.
"This has got to be....."i start saying sitting up to look at the screen and my words ran to only God knows where as i set my eyes on the screen seeing the one person that has suddenly started appearing everywhere i go!actually not that i see him..i just hear about him,or think about him! Nooo cancel that out! I don't think about him.....
*deceive yourself *that voice says
*look just shut up let me watch this! I really don't know what you want to prove!but i am getting married! It's better you don't start whatever it is you want to do*i reply to the voice!
Call me crazy but this voice really has become a part of my life ....
"LADIES OF NEW YORK I HAVE A VERY BAD NEWS! GENTLE MEN I HAVE A GOOD NEWS! I'LL START WITH THE LADIES .....DEAR LADIES!YOUR ONE AND ONLY DREAM PRINCE IF I MUST ADD BECAUSE IT CAN NOW NEVER BE SOMETHING MORE THAN A DREAM! HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO GET MARRIED! OH YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT! HE HAS DECIDED TO GET ARRANGED SO I'M REALLY SORRY! AS FOR THE GENTS! YOU CAN FINALLY PROPOSE TO YOUR DREAM GIRL! AS YOUR ONLY OBSTACLE HAS BEEN REMOVED! WELL SORRY TO ALL LADIES AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL GENTS.... AND ALSO CONGRATULATIONS TO MR ADAL OMAR AND HIS BRIDE TO BE! WISHING THEM A HAPPY MARRIED LIFE AHEAD! OH ALSO BEFORE I FORGET I HAVE A PROMISE TO ALL LADIES! I PROMISE TO ANNOUNCE THE GIRL'S NAME AS SOON AS WE GET AN INFORMATION! THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY"
The reporter says and i just kept staring at the screen! And suddenly I started feeling a little bit of disappointment! He is adal omar not adal ahmad! Wait why am I feeling this way! He was never the husband in the first place! So where did the whole disappointment thing come from?!
Actually I don't know and I don't care!
"Awwwwww! Isn't that tooo cute! I'm so happy for the girl! She has the only one guy that every girl wants! Oh sorry every girl but afreen wants! I wish them a happy married life ahead" sab says and I rolled my eyes....
"Ameen" we both say....and i just realized I haven't told her about my marriage! She is so gonna kill me if she finds out from someone not me! So I decided to tell her now....
"Uhmmm sab!" I start telling her feeling nervous ...
"Hmmm?!she replies lying down on the bed....
"IMgettingmarried"i say as fast as I could ....
"Oh common girl speak English please! "She says rolling her eyes...
"Okay! I am getting married "i say looking at her!
"Afreen abduljabbar!" She says in a shocked tone....
"Uhhmm yes"i try to avoid her eyes...
"Okay you had better got a good explanation for not telling me this till now" ha! I just knew it I should have told her earlier on...
"Actually it came all too soon! I don't even know him i swear! They just came back and told me! I'm still yet to absorb the whole thing too sab! I'm sorry for not telling you" i grin...giving her the look she can't say no too....
"Urgh! Remind me why you are my best friend "she says...
"Hahaha I'm sorry! I love you too"i say laughing at her...
"I ddnt say i did! You know what whatever!" "Common tell me! What happened ! How did you know! What's his name! Tell me everything don't miss a thing!"she says with an extra excited tone!
I start telling her everything about how my parents came back and told me! And everything leaving out his name...
"Awwwn! I'm sure your love story is gonna be too goood"she grins like a fool....what is she?!well apart from an unrealistic being! All she thinks of is happily ever after....
"Here i am telling you i don't even know him! What if he hates me?! What if he loves someone else?!what if he is being forced sab! "I say in a very sad tone! And her face fell....
"Say Astagfurillah reen! Don't ever say that! Whatever happens has been decided by Allah! So what if he doesn't love you?! Allah does and He will never do anything just like that! There is always a reason! Common girl don't say that!" She says! Ohh i love this girl...just when i am about to go left she brings me back to the right!
"Astagfurillah "i say feeling guilty for questioning Allah's doings!
"That's my girl! So tell me what's his name you haven't told me that yet!!she reminds me...
"Uhmm he is ad....."
"REEN!!!"my mum comes up to my room looking all too panicked...
"Ammi"i and sab say together!
"What's wrong?!"i ask her as she makes her way to my bed....taking deep breaths and sitting ....
"Ohhh its your aunt malika she has been rushed to the hospital she is in labour "she says after calming down! Ha! Trust my mother to make it look like some died!
"Ya Allah mum! You almost gave me a heart attack! "I said sitting beside her...
"I know i know! I prefer things being dramatic! It makes more sense" wow! I can't believe her...
"Okay mother new york! What is it that you want"i ask cause i know there is definitely something that brought her up here...
"Well my baby! I need you and sab to please drive me there! Your dad is too tired he came late and I don't want to wake him up,saif has gone back to his house so also hala! Meaning i have no other choice but you my princesses "she says grinning at me and sab!
"Ha! I knew right!!!"sab says laughing
"Oh please since you all know can you take me to see my sister "she says rolling her eyes at us....
"Okay okay ammi just go get ready we'll get ready and meet you downstairs"i said making my way to my dressing room ....
"Okay! Thank you! Love you both"she says going out of my room....
"Hahah we love you too! "We both say and sab just picks a long khimar and wore it over her pyjamas .
"Yes! Good idea"i said and sab gave me the what-are-you-saying look...
"I mean I should also just wear a khimar instead of changing "i answer her wearing my khimar...
"Ohh okay lets go"and we both made our way downstairs .....
We sat waiting for my mum! And I became impatient ...
"Oh common mum we are going to see her in the hospital not going to attend her baby 's naming ceremony! Please hurry if you don't mind"i said and sabrinah started laughing! What was so funny ?! I can never tell! My family members think differently ...
"I'm hear reen! Please can't you be patient for once! I should have also named you sabrinah! It would have been so much better "she says and sabrinah laughed again!"oh yes ammi you that is soo true"sabrinah adds and they both laugh...
"Argh! Please lets get going "i say standing up and we all made our way to the car and drove off to the hospital ....
And amongst all this i just remembered i ddnt tell sabrinah my husband to be's name! I think ill just tell her tomorrow In Sha Allah. As for now anty malika and her baby matter the most...
