The Hijabi's Convertee

chapter 46

It was my bridal shower today and Iqraam's groom shower also

Me and all the girls were dressed in matching outfits the difference was theirs was pink and mine blue

We were having fun, playing games and doing different activities

We were already on Iqraam's island, we got here by helicopter and it had been fun

"Your turn Malika" Amaya said bringing out of thoughts

We were currently in a little forest on Iqraam's island

Camping in the woods was part of the activities I planned out

We were seated in a circle around the camp fire

Making roasted marshmallows and eating it

We were telling funny stories and experiences

"Okay okay" I said and everyone gave me their attention

"There was this day, MO fashion week had just ended and I was on my way home" I started

I told them about my experience on that stormy night

"Oh my, of it wasn't for Iqraam you would have been stranded" Khadijah said shaking her head

"Wallahi" I said

"Thank Allah he arrived there, my phone was dead and I didn't know what to do" I added

We continued with our activities and slept in the woods for the night

"You're so beautiful" Khadijah said adjusting my hijab

"Jazakallah khair darling" I said with a smile

"Wa iyyaki" Khadijah said returning a smile

It was finally the D-Day, my wedding reception was today

All the guests had arrived on the island and everything was set

"You really didn't tell anyone about your dress" Fatima said and I nodded

I decided to make my dress a surprise and the preparations I told them to leave my dress to me

"Iqraam is going to fall head over heels again when he sees you" Amaya said teasingly and I smiled

My dress was pure white in colour, it was like a princess's, so long it left a three meter trail behind

It had rhinestones and pearls embedded in it

It was long sleeved and had corset to tighten around the waist

"You guys are also beautiful " I said looking at them

They're my bridesmaids for today

"We don't dare to out shine the bride" Fatima said and we laughed

We were all dressed up, Fatima did my make up and the rest did theirs

I covered my face with my veil

Soon we were ready to go

I felt quite nervous but nothing like my Nikkah

I can't wait to see Iqraam's expression when he sees me in my dress

I smiled to my self and walked along

Fatima, Amaya and Khadijah helped with my dress
It left a three metres long trail remember

We got to the entrance of the wedding reception, there my dad stood waiting for me

He was going to walk me to the groom
