Pearl (on hold)

Chapter 11

Sometimes there are certain circumstances that change our lives and we end up in places we never imagined to be! Here i am again after weeks selecting a dress for my wedding! I remember how i dreaded marriage! How i never imagined living my family and getting a whole new life with someone ,,,someone that I don't even know,,,yes every girl will want to marry her Prince Charming and leave happily ever after! Every girl will want to be a princess on her wedding day waiting for her knight in shining armor! And yes I'm no exception ..But there are things more to it! The reality ... nervousness is an understatement of how I'm feeling right now.i dont know why but I really am scared! What if he hates me? What if he treats me bad?! What if I'm not treated like the princess i feel like in my parents house? Don't get me wrong I'm not a spoilt brat I'm ......just too scared!

"Ohhhh common reen! You have to choose something weve been here for two hours! We have other things to attend to! Your wedding is in three days! We have to be fast"sabrinah says glaring at me and hala nods in agreement ....

"Uhg! Please! Says who wasted a whole day selecting a dress" i reply her rolling my eyes! "Besides I don't like anything here! They are all too attention seeking and not decent! Please let's attend to something else,we can do this some other time" I start making my way to the door of the room we were in ignoring the huffs and grunts from sabrinah and hala!

"Ohhhh wait wait wait! I can't let you leave just yet! You have to see this...i mean I've been keeping it for a to be muslim bride! It is our only decent but yet strikingly beautiful dress! You have to see it" i hear a voice from behind me...
Wait i know this voice ....but where??? Yesss I remember ...

"Michelle!!!" I shrieked jumping to hug her followed by sabrinah!

"Michelle oh my God! It's you...oh how I've missed you"i hear another voice which isn't mine,nor sabrinah meaning it belongs to my one and only sister hala!

"Huh?!"i and sabrinah say looking at her with the *are you okay look* and she just shrugs .....

"What?!were you expecting me to just stand there and look and make it obvious I don't know her?!common y'll should know me by now" hala says and we all laughed ...i shook my head at my sister! Can she be any more dramatic?!

"Ohh sorry! I just got carried away! My name is michelle! I work here and a friend to these pretty ladies! And you are?!" Michelle says extending her hand to hala! Well wrong gesture to a bone crushing freak like hala!

"Awww common! My sisters friends are my friends! Im hala"she says engulfing michelle in a bone crushing hug! See?! I know my family just so well!

Well as y'll remember michelle earlier when i came shopping with sab! We became friends since then...as y'll know making friends is my one thing!

"So miss bride to be! As i said you have to see this! Y'll should come with me" she says dragging me with her and i groan making hala and sab to laugh! Yeah they think this is all funny!

"Here! Grab a seat! Ill be right back! We take our seats as she disappears into another room! How many more rooms are there in here?!

Minutes later she comes out with a bag in hand "afreen! This is the dress..I promise you'll love it!" Okayyyy! Can i see it to judge that?!

"Okay! Ill try this on and we'll see about that"i say making my way to the changing room that michelle directs me too....

"Ohh rabbi! Ohh you look breath taking baby! "Sabrinah whistles and i smile at them...

"Jeez! Just when I thought you couldn't get any prettier! Look at you! Now looking at the dress it has become even prettier! If that's possible ...baby this is it...." michelle says thumbing up...
