"Mom I'm here" I said when I got into the house
" Come, come" my mom said waving me over and I walked to her
" My friends and their daughters and some of your friends are coming over, so is the henna artist, beautician and hair stylists" my mom said and I nodded
I let them arrange everything so I was fine with their arrangements
" As Salam alaikum"
It was mother in-law, Fatima and her mom
" Wa alaikumus Salam" me and my mom replied
" Good morning sisters, how are you Fatima?" My mom said greeting them
" Alhamdulilah mom" Fatima replied with a smile
" Oh wow, Iqraam did great with the dowry " mother in-law said with a smile and my mom nodded
" I was surprised myself this morning" my mom said
" I'm so jealous of you Firdausi, you have such a good son in-law " Fatima's mom said to my mom in good humor and we laughed
We made our way to the living room and sat on the couch
" Madam the henna artist,, beautician and hair stylists are all here" a maid came to say to my mom
" Let them in" my mom said and the maid left to do as she said
Soon some women walked in, three looked like the leader and the rest must be their team
" Good morning Mrs Omar " they greeted my mom
" Good morning " my mom replied
" Set everything up and tell me if you need anything " my mom added and they nodded
Soon they started arranging their things, splitting the living room into three, they each took one side
" As Salam alaikum " some people said walking in, it was some of my mom's friends and their daughters
" Wa alaikumus Salam " we all replied
" Welcome, come in" my mom said and they walked in
" Have your seats " she added and they all sat down
" My dear Malika, how are you" one of my mom's friends, Mrs Khan said to me
" I'm fine ma Alhamdulilah" I replied to her
"Barakallahu fik" Mrs Khan said with a smile
" Wa anta aydan" I replied with a smile of my own
" Long time Malika, nice to see you" Mrs Khan's daughter said with a smile
" Same here darling" I said to her smiling
" Congratulations darling, we heard the news" another friend of my mom, Mrs Ali said
" Thank you aunty " I said to her and the congratulations continued here and there while we received more guests
" Alright ladies" my mom called getting everyone's attention and relieving me from all the talking
"The henna application shall begin now, please enjoy yourselves and feel at home" my mom said
Soon the maids brought in snacks and refreshments
I was really hungry, I haven't even had breakfast
" Malika, come do your hair" mother in-law called out and I walked over to the hair stylist and sat down on the chair the stylist brought
" Miss Malika, your hijab" the hair stylist said
