Afreen's POV....

"Assalamu alaykum baby"i rose my head up to see my mum entering my room with a bag in her hand...

Sitting up "wa alaykum salam! Ammi...whats up?!" I said as she strolled into my room..dropping the bag on my bed....

"Ohhh reen! I can't believe you are getting married tomorrow! By now tomorrow you will be someone else's "she says starting to get emotional but deep down i knew she wanted something from me!

"Yeah mum! I know but I'll always be your baby...so what do you want?!"i asked her and I noticed her giving a small victorious smile...

"Actually! Here"she said opening the bag she brought with her....there before me she brought the cutest dress I've ever come across! It's a blue dress with the top covered with lace and silver sequin around the waist then the bottom had a long flowing tulle fabric...along with it she brought a blue scarf! Masha Allah this dress is beautiful ...

Raising my head to see my mum smiling down at me "you like it?!" She asked....

"Like??"i asked "i love the dress"

"Reen! I've always wished you'll wear this for me to see you in it before your wedding! I've always wanted to see you dressed as my princess ...i never brought it out because I thought you'd not get married so soon...but here you are about to be someone else's!"she says stopping to clean a tear that I don't seem to notice and the continued "please can you wear this today! I just want to see you in it.."she finally finishes...

"Ohh! Mum.please some other time! Really now I'm tired I can't start dressing up...please ammi I promise to later"i said starting to pack them up...

"Ohh i just knew it..you won't fulfill your mothers wish...you've already started forgetting your mother before getting married ...oh only God knows what you will deny me next!probably seeing you! Ohh poor me! Ya Allah this is the worst thing that has ever happened to me"she says and finally wiping off the tear that has managed to drop on her cheek!

Argh! My mother should have been an actress!

"Okay ammi! Please enough of your drama! I'll wear it...just for five minutes! And no pictures ..well only if you leave the room for me to change" i said taking the dress in my hand and heading to the dressing room not failing to notice the smirk on her face!

"Ill be waiting!"she giggles closing the door behind her...

Taking deep breath i wore the dress and something in me just made me wear a little lipstick and mascara! Don't blame me I hardly wear make up! Im amongst those who believe in your husband's should be the first to admire you....

After tying my hair up in a bun i put my scarf in a fine new hijab style i learnt on YouTube and i slipped into my silver ballerina....and made my way downstairs ....

Ha! So much for fulfilling my mothers wish!

Clearing my throat "uhmmm ammi! "She turns to look at me with her jaw dropping and she quickly gave me a warm smile before engulfing me in a hug!

"Masha Allah! My baby! You've grown up...i can't tell you how much of a princess you look now! Ya Allah..."she exclaims wiping her tears of joy..and i just smile at her saying thank you...

"No you thank you! You have fulfilled my wish! Please let me just take a picture of you...pleeeaaaasssseee"she says and i just gave in because arguing with her is like talking to a wall!
