Ahmed's POV

"Dude just wear a pink tie!" Hamza exclaimed

"What?! Are you crazy. Pink tie? Like seriously A PINK TIE?!! It's my engagement and I do not intend to show up looking like a cartoon. Thank you very much!" What is wrong with him?! Like a pink tie?!! And it isn't even a normal pink tie. It's SHOCKING PINK! Why had I ever even purchased a tie like this?!

At the moment, I am in my room dressed in a white shirt and black suit looking as handsome as ever. No, I am not conceited, but hey not my fault I am so good looking! Sometimes, I think I should just marry myself. But then I drop the idea, because well, I can't make rotis now, can i?

Back to the point. I am in a dilemma as I have no idea what colour tie I should wear. I should've just asked Ayesha what colour dress she was wearing. And Hamza here, suggesting me to wear a pink tie is really not helping.

"Chill dude, just wear any tie. 1 hour has passed, ONE HOUR! And you are still deciding on what colour tie to wear! Like seriously, I bet even girls don't take this long! It doesn't matter if the tie doesn't match! Just choose one please!" he exclaimed raising his hands up in the air pellucidly exhibiting how frustrated he is.

My eyes scanned the bed on which all different colour ties had been placed. I reached for the gold tie and showed it to Hamza. "How's this?"

"Splendid! Now wear it quickly!" he said. I gave him a pointed look.

"Oh right, I forgot you don't know how to tie a tie" He replied with a sigh and took the tie from my hands.

"There, all done." Hamza said after tying the tie and placing a gold handkerchief in the front pocket of my suit. I smiled at my reflection in the mirror

"Ahmed! Are you done yet? We are getting late!" My mom asked knocking on the door.

"Yes mom! I'm coming!" I replied.

I quickly wore my black shoes and headed to the door.

Ayesha's POV

Today's the day! Yes, it's my engagement day! I am nervous, excited, happy, scared. Yeah that's a lot of feelings. I don't know how I'm feeling all of them at the same time!

Right now, I'm seated in front of the mirror in my room. I am wearing a gold and white long dress which has heavy embroidery from the neck to the waist and less embroidery on the other parts of the dress. The dress looked pulchritudinous and elegant. I am also wearing a gold hijab that goes perfectly with the dress.

The engagement would be taking place in my garden at 8 pm which is in ten minutes! My friends helped with the make-up and here I am, looking at my reflection in the mirror.

"Ahmed will so not be able to take his eyes off you tonight!" Mariam said looking in the mirror.

"You look absolutely stunning!" Raziya said.

"Thanks guys....anyways where is Ruqaiyya and Ameena?" I enquired.

"They are checking up on the arrangements and guests." Asma replied while ambulating in. "Oh and you look so gorgeous!"

"Jazakallah." I replied, blushing.

"Ready to go?" Raziya asked with a smile.

"Yes." I replied nervously.

I walked to where two seats were located in the middle front of all the other tables and chairs. The night was starry and beautiful. I've always loved watching stars. I looked around and noticed that all the tables and chairs were white and blue. The arrangements were splendid!
