It's been another week since the marriage, today was the third and last event 'we' are having or should I say 'I' am having since the first two events 'my husband' didn't show up, uncle Alim stood up both to apologize for his absence saying work and he's not feeling too well and Amma, the woman I've been calling the woman, which is Amma, his mum, kept on apologizing to me and calling him but he didn't pick up, I did not mind though because freedom from that arrogant bitch
The first event was more like a walimah and stuff, so a lot of family, Zaitun got me to escape them when I got tired with the lie I had to re-touch my makeup.
Second was for my friends and his cousins and mine, he did not show up but I couldn't care less
And today third, I'm here with Zaitun arguing over the 'surprise' dress I'm to wear, her and mama chose it, well she did but mama gave her the necessary "there's no way in this world Zaitun I'm wearing that" I am NOT, let's forget it's fitted, it has mirrors around it, they could break
"then what will you wear? Your Kayan me aiki?" She raised the dress "you know I don't like anything that will make me uncomfortable, yet you got it, after all the 'trust me, we've been best friends for twelve years, I know you' this, this is what you got me" I raised the heavy dress giving it a disgusted look
"Me love, it's your wedding, you've got to show the world, and the main purpose of this event is for the public, this is not home this is a business event, daddy's business partners are going to be there, his dad's, media all the rest of the people in business, wow them, let them know what Mukhtar has gotten himself" okay, it's settled all this girl spews is shit when she opens her mouth
"Baby please, min please, love, ayoum, habibtin daddy, it has a cape like thing from the waist, no one will see your bum, he has to regret ghosting you, three times, man's got liver" this girl is just crazyyyyy it's actually four times, the first time we met, in our house and two days ago
"You're mad, the dress has mirrors on it, what if they break, how can you choose a dress like that? If it didn't have freaking mirrors on it shaped like diamond bombs I would have worn it, and I like the swirl on the trail but I ain't killing myself" she looked annoyed and for some reason, odd reason her eyes were starting to fill up
"What's wrong?" I asked, she sniffed "you are so strong, you are still talking like you would on a normal day, whenever we fantasize about our weddings, it has never been like this, you being forced to, it's always him proposing to you with a Breitling watch, and the past two days, he's been disappointing you not even showing up, already putting work before you" I started tearing up too, she raised her head up to stop the tears from flowing, she was blinking fast
"For the past six years non of us imagined this, or whatever happened last year, but in sha Allah it's for the best, after hardship comes ease, Mukhtar after his small attitude of not showing up is going to be the best and most loving man in your life, he will love you with every single power of his being, protect you till he is able to keep everything bad away from you, adore you, the air you exhale, the ground you step on, cause that's all you deserve at this point and I'm telling him about what Kareem did to you, he'll beat him up..." she stopped to sniff and at this point I was crying mess, Zaitun is just the best best friend anyone could ever ask for
"You'll start your own restaurant, he'll be there to cut the ribbon with you, take you to Morocco without Sayf bugging you, drive you in a G-wagon Mansory, take you to Lindt, give you the whole world, have the best relationship with your kids or son, take you on night walks, he'll be smitten as hell with no return in sha Allah"
I pulled her in for a hug "in sha Allah, thanks ayoum" I'm wearing the dress bruv, she got me the dress, I'm wearing it "I'll wear the dress" I said picking it up, she visibly sighed then cleaned her tears "thank god, I've been designing that dress in my head for two years, and my surprise would have been ruined, I'll go get my kit downstairs, wash your puffy face" what a quick change of mood, I nodded.
