The Hijabi's Convertee

chapter 38

" No make-up" I said and scooted away

I was currently in my room with Fatima and I was getting dressed

" Just a little, it would look very natural" Fatima said and I shook my head vehemently

" No" I said

" You're unbelievable, it's your Nikkah" Fatima said and I did a rethink

"I'll apply only black kohl and mascara, maybe lipstick " I said and Fatima shook her head

"Fine, it must be very very light" I gave in emphasizing the very

"Now you're talking " Fatima said with a smile

She started applying makeup for me and was done in a bit

"All done " Fatima said and I opened my eyes to look in the mirror

The make up was light and simple as I said, only accentuating my facial features

I looked very pretty

"Jazakallahu Khairan" I said to Fatima with a smile

"Wa iyyakum" Fatima replied with a smile

"Now the dress" I said excitedly

I saw my dress this morning and it was so beautiful Masha'Allah

It was a white dress that flowed down to the floor with beautiful embroided patterns, it came with a hijab and veil

It had long sleeves and had stones embedded in the dress

Its a very beautiful dress

"Here it is young miss" a maid named Priya said and passed me the dress

"Thanks Priya" I Saud and took it from her

I walked over to my closet and wore the dress

Without pulling up the zipper I walked to a full length mirror in my closet

I looked so beautiful

A smile made its way to my face, I'm getting married today to the man I love

I felt so nervous even though I'm trying to hide it

I was happy but also very nervous

I breathe in and out, taking deep breaths to calm down and relax

I pulled up the zipper of the dress and made my way out of the closet

"Oh my goodness, you look gorgeous young miss" Priya said with a smile

"Thank you Priya" I said smiling

"You're so beautiful" Fatima said and I turned to look at her with a smile

"And you too" I said to her with a smile

I was still feeling nervous, now I understand how Summayyah felt on her Nikkah day

"Come, sit down, let me style your hijab" Fatima said waving me over

I walked over and sat down in front of the dressing mirror and Fatima styled my hijab

"Calm down okay" Fatima said stroking my head after she pinned down my hijab

"Everything will be fine, Allah is with you, I know you'd be a great wife and mother insha' Allah, I also know that Iqraam would treat you right and be his best to you, may Allah be with you and guide you always " she added and I nodded with a smile

My bestie always understands me, she knows how I feel and what I need without me saying a word

She has been with me ever since we were kids
