"Do you like the red or the white?"
The event planner Khushi asked me
She was the event planner hired by mom and mother in-law for our wedding reception
"Which would look better" I asked Iqraam who was sitting beside me
My parents, his parents, Abdullah and Fatima were at our house
The wedding reception date was nearing and according to our moms it's gonna be big
Many big business men from around the world, politicians, artists name it, were all coming
Invites had been sent out about a month ago or so
We had already decided the venue, which was Iqraam's own island
We did cake tasting, menu selecting, activities and we were discussing the decorations currently"Any one you prefer" Iqraam said breaking my trail of thoughts, he was not helping at all, I asked him and he threw it back at me
"I think red is okay" I said to Khushi
"I think it's nice too" Justin said from the side
Did I forget to say Justin, Claud and Amir also dropped by?
Justin and Claud sat by the television, playing videogames while Amir was talking to Fatima in the kitchen
Those two seem to be getting closer and I think Fatima likes Amir
I don't know about Amir though, that guy's too cold to show such emotions on his face"Anything my wife wants"
It was Iqraam talking"Wife slave" Abdullah who was walking down the stairs commented
"I'll go with red roses Khushi" I said ignoring them
"Okay" Khushi said nodding and jotting down in her notepad
"Iqraam" I said and Iqraam placed a cookie in my mouth
That was his job since he wasn't helping with anything"Where's mom" Abdullah asked me looking around
"In the garden with mother in-law" I answered after eating the cookie on my mouth
"Mrs Musa, are you fine with the table arrangements" Khushi asked me
"Yeah" I replied nodding
"Then we can talk about the bridal shower" Khushi said
" Okay, I only want a few friends okay" I said
"My cousins and some friends would've been in the country by then" I added and Khushi nodded writing away in her notepad"Habibty" Iqraam called out, holding a cookie closed to my mouth
And I opened my mouth to take it
"What activities should we add for the bridal shower" Khushi asked and I turned to her
"I made a list, You can pick whatever you're okay with " Khushi said passing me her notepad
_____
The discussion continued till we decided to call it a day and continue tomorrow
Our parents had gone back home ND only the guys and Fatima were left
We had dinner and prayed Isha, only Justin and Claud didn't join us
"Dragon"
"Dinosaur"
Claud and Abdullah called out
We were playing a draw and guess
We divided ourselves into two teams and Amir was the judge
Abdullah, Claud and Fatima were on one team, Iqraam, Justin and me on the other
