Life Is a box of Chocolates.

Chapter 6

Asalam mu alay kum all. i know i said i'm going to update on the 30 but i suddenly became very busy so to compensate i gift you two updates today this is the first enjoy!!!

The past few weeks have been hectic. Auntie Fiaz came over again to sort out the formalities for today's engagement and also for the wedding. Things like how much gold there going to give where the venue will be who's buying the lehngha and how big the bari will be e.c.t.

" Salsabeel hurry up!"

That's mum shouting from the other side of the bathroom door. I'm taking a shower before the engagement. I turn the tap off and wrap a towel around myself. Then I slowly open the door to see if anyone is there. No one. Ruuunnnn. I run straight in to my room and close the door. As am taking the towel off I hear a screech. Turning around I see Attiya.

" Oh my poor poor eyes. Sister what hasath thou done to me. Ooh how my retina does burn" she said dramatically.

Wrapping the towel around me I give her a skeptical look.

"Oh hush. I used to clean your poop and bathe you. All you saw was my back and me about to take off the towel. Now turn around so I can dress."

Attiya turns around and I quickly change in to some random clothes . Once am done I tell her to turn around. Grabbing a brush I sit down and begin to brush my hair. Attiya takes out my hair dryer and straightener.

"And I belive you failed on your attempt at Shakespeare. " I say in the poshest accent I can muster.

" You failed in your attempt in impersonating a posh person"

We both laugh and I begin to dry my thick long wavy black hair. Mum opens the door and comes in outraged

" its her engagement and shes taking so long to bathe-" then they see me "- oh your out I thought you were still in the bathroom. "

I put the hairdryer down and run my fingers through my hair.

"No mum am out. Just about to straighten my hair. How long left till they come?"

" Well your mamus chachus khala pupos are all on there way. They should be here soon and your future in laws will be here in one and a half hours."

I look at the clock. It's 9:45. So they should be here by 11:00 ish. Flip! Am getting late. I then begin to straighten my hair while talking about random things with Attiya. Mum left the room going down stairs to take care of the arrangements.

Talking with her distracts me a little but not much. I mean that uneasy feeling in my belly will not go away. 20 minutes later my hair is straightened. I put some cream on my face and neck and then apply foundation. That's the best I can do until they come. I still don't know what color dress there going to get me. Soon my cousins arrive doing everything they can to tease and embarrass me.

They joys of wedding. Tease the poor bride.

" Omg!" Attiya exclaimed. " you will not guess what I did in science."

I was immediately forgotten . What a relief. I bet Attiya did something stupid.

" What did you do?" Everyone asked.

" The teacher asked us why people where so hairy in the olden days right?"

Everyone nodded.

" I was soooo tiered that I just blurted out the first thing that came to my mind. I said cose they didn't have hair removal cream."

That brought the roof down. Attiya was bright red. In between laughing she managed to say " Everyone.... the whole class...... laughed at me."

Ooh my poor sister. Everyone was laughing so hard we didn't hear the door open. I myself have the amazing power of laughing silently but my cousin don't.
