The Hijabi's Convertee

chapter 21

We got to the wedding reception and it was in open space, it was decorated beautifully with flowers and tables and chairs were arranged in an orderly manner

We took our seat and the MC started speaking marking the start of the reception

After the MC finished the introduction and all other formalities

The bride, Summayyah walked over in her white wedding dress and she looked so beautiful

Immediately Ismail laid he's eyes on her, tears started streaming down his face, he was overjoyed to have such a beautiful bride

Fatima chuckled from beside me and I turned to look at her

" Who knew this cousin of mine would cry on his wedding day" she said and I chuckled

Ismail was a well known business man and he was very respected for his success in business, he is the current CEO of Ibrahim's Corporation

" Let's make a video" I said and we brought our phones outto make videos of this moment

" I'm so showing his kids" I said and Fatima nodded

Soon the bride reached the groom and the MC asked them questions and the groom was asked to kiss the bride, after that it was time for the bride to throw her bouquet

All the single ladies including me and Fatima stood a few metres behind the bride

" I'm going to count to three and the bride will throw her bouquet up, whoever catches it is getting married next" the MC said

" Ladies, don't forget to make me the MC at your wedding" he added turning to us and everyone laughed

" One"
" Two"
" Three"

Summayyah turned and threw her bouquet at me directly and I caught it, my eyes going wide as saucers

" O M G"
Fatima shouted

I looked at Summayyah and she had a smile on her face, she winked at me when our eyes met

I looked around and in shock

I threw the bouquet away in shock and closed my eyes, not knowing what to do

" O....M...G" said slowly this time and I opened my eyes slowly and looked around

Shock was written on everyone's faces

" What happened?" I asked not understanding anything

" Look" Fatima said pointing at the men's side, I turned to look at them and I caught sight of the bouquet but it was in Iqraam's hands

My eyes went so wide

" Oh my, oh my, seems like we found a groom for our next bride" the MC said chuckling

" What, no no no no no" I said
" It's not like that" I added not knowing what else to say

I saw Iqraam walk over to me, he stretched his hand with the bouquet in it out, handing it to me

I raised my head to look at him and my gaze met his, his blue orbs were staring at me intently

" Take it"

" Take it"

" Take it"

I don't know who started but everyone began chanting ' take it'
Can't these people understand my plight

" Just take it, it doesn't matter" Iqraam said giving me a reassuring look and his words were like a spell

I took the bouquet from his hands and smiled lightly as a blush made its way to my cheeks
