Pearl (on hold)

Chapter 20

Today, a day i feared,a day i never thought would come but it's eventually here. in about two hours i would have to leave for tonight's function and I'm yet to get ready. but come to think of it who an i getting ready for? My husband doesn't even spare me a single glance ,but that doesn't mean I should look horrible and pathetic than i already feel.

I stood up and headed to the bathroom to take my bath, which lasted for only thirty minutes and i was out.

After bathing i moved to my dressing table and sat on it before i moisturized my skin,after which i decided to do a light make up, if today turns out well I should atleast look presentable while smiling and expressing my joy,but if it doesn't then I should have a make up that wouldn't smear or look really bad on me when i cry.

I began the make up process applying a light blue eye liner that is meant to complement my dress,then I applied mascara on my eye lashes and then moved down to my lips and applied a light red lipstick and i was done.

Looking up to the mirror Alhamdulillah i looked beautiful ,this should be one of me merry days then.

I had my dress kept on my bed,i moved closer to it and picked it up and immediately wore it. masha Allah the long royal blue dress that had sequins all around it gave it the shimmers it needed.it wasn't tight to show all my curves but wasn't baggy either ,it was perfect and fitted in the right places.

I then packed my hair in a bun,i did not bother styling since i was going to cover it up with my hijab,speaking of hijab where is it? I thought as i began searching the room for the scarf. oh God I really hate moments like this.

Just when i was about giving up i found it there lying under my clutch bag sighing in relief,i picked it up and wrapped it in a simple but beautiful hijab style.

Slipping into my christian louboutin four inch pumps and a matching clutch bag i looked at myself in the mirror and masha Allah i looked beautiful.

I glanced at my wrist watch and realised it was already 6:25 and it will take me roughly twenty minutes to get there if there is no traffic. and I need to be there on time before my boss gets angry at me for coming late.

Just great.

Immediately i got out of the house i headed to my car and got in and drove off. I wasn't going to be there or rather I wasn't going to go there in Adal's car or with him because first of all i am just his employee right? And it will be extremely unprofessional if an employee is seen been driven by her boss and secondly I cannot tolerate him .

Alhamdulillah the road was clear and free from traffic, i grinned in triumph when i checked the time and it was exactly 6:57. ha! I made it.

Getting out of my car i made my way in and after showing them my invitation card i was allowed in.

The place was beyond beautiful ,the decorations weren't too much and yet they were outstanding, masha Allah i must say the decorations were justified and the decorators did a good job.

Moving forward I started to look out for Adal,he was no where in sight, I haven't seen him ever since he left this afternoon at around 2pm and i still can't find him anywher.......

To say I thought he couldn't get any handsome i was extremely wrong,he stood there in his black tux that was almost like a second skin on him,he had a black shirt inside and a tie around his neck,his hair was neatly brushed and his beard was unshaved. masha Allah this guy gives a whole new definition to handsome on legs.

He was talking to someone and did not notice me,then he turned slightly and turned back and immediately after that action it was as if he saw something and wanted to check if he saw right,he turned back to look at me locking our eyes together and blocking the rest of the world,it was just me,him and us.
