After changing her outfit for the hundredth time, gulnaz looked at the mirror.
"I think this one looks fine."
She looked at maleeha from the mirror. Maleeha pursed her lips, "No. something's wrong ."
Naz groaned, "I'm tired now."
Maleeha threw a cushion at her, "Imagine how tired I am. Literally been 3 hours and you haven't decided on one outfit."
"I can't do this! I'm not going, you guys go." Gulnaz lay on her bed with face flopped on her pillow.
"Stop being so dramatic,Naz. I also have to decide my outfit, do the makeup and hairstyle. We have to leave in an hour."
"I'm not going, it's final." Her voice was muffled
Maleeha took hold of Naz's shoulders and arms as she tried to get her up, "I'll kill you right now."
"Please do."
"Naz!"
"Jeez okay. Stop screaming." Gulnaz got up and went through her closet again and again with maleeha.
Maleeha picked out a top. It was a lavender sleeveless top with shimmers, "try this one."
"It looks so ugly. I'm not wearing that." Gulnaz complained.
Maleeha gave her a look which made her shut up and quickly tried the top. She had not worn that top since 10th grade. It was a surprise it still fit.
Maleeha observed the outfit, it still didn't look perfect. Something about it was wrong and she couldn't point it out.
"Try denim shorts. The jeans is...putting it off." Maleeha said.
"Okay..." she tried the denim shorts and instantly the outfit clicked.
The top wasn't a crop one or a long one. With the design of it, it seams fell gracefully on the shorts and it looked perfect.
"No wait, don't look happy now. I have something in mind. I hope it works out, lord." Maleeha muttered before going inside the closet.
She found what she was looking for and brought it to Gulnaz, "wear this. I think it would look good."
It was sleeveless fringe coat type brown leather jacket. The fringes were long and reached just two inches above her shorts.
Gulnaz looked at the mirror and felt satisfied. And then both maleeha and Naz squealed from happiness that finally Gulnaz got her outfit.
"Pair it with long boots and hoop earrings. It's a perfect look."
"Yes ma'am." Naz gave her a fake salute.
Naz sat on the bed, "now let's decide your outfit."
Maleeha opened up her bag, "I brought these 4 outfits because I couldn't decide on one. Help me choose."
Looking through all the outfits, Naz liked one of them all. "Wear this one."
Maleeha came out of the closet wearing a white satin shirt with black high waist flared jeans.
"I wanna wear something half sleeves or sleeveless. It's gonna be really hot outside."
Gulnaz felt bad for her, "yeah but you have this hijab thing na."
"I'm thinking to remove it for tonight."
Gulnaz didn't know what to say. Sure, maleeha have removed it a couple times before but it always came as a surprise to Gulnaz. She had no right to say anything about it, she only cared about maleeha's comfort.
