Nurain
Fati and Hanifa are going to be the end of me, our daurin Aure is this Friday, Fati and Jawad want to do their pre wedding photo shoot this week and they want us to do it with them too, at first Asaal said no which I was very happy with, but Hanifa somehow managed to convince her and now she has been stressed out, on all her clothes and everything, Ihsaan and Ruqaya are handling that for her but, she's just still stressed out, then Fati also suggested we do a wedding interview, Asaal was excited for that, and I mean I was okay with it cause the ones she showed me on YouTube seemed very okay, and we had to cultivate a story on how we met each other

"Nurain, could you take me for my fitting? Ihsaan and Ruqaya are waiting for me there" She said getting up from the bed
"Alright, am i going to wait for you?" I asked
"No I'll come back with them" she said
"Alright then" I said
I stood up and took my car keys from the drawer, she put her scarf on since she was already wearing an atampa gown, we both went to the car and I took her to the tailors place, I escorted her inside and made sure she was with Ihsaan and Ruqaya
"Okay Yaya you can go now, she's okay with us" Ihsaan said
"Bring her back home safely" I said then I left the shop
I entered my car and now I didn't know what to do, so I just decided to go to Asaads house, Khalid is probably there, I drove there and entered their house, Nafeesa and Khalid were there and they were all sitting in the living room together
"Salam" I said
"Oh Nurain you're here" Assad said
None of them even budged from their positions with their wives
"Because my own wife is not here ko? No problem" I said
Then they all laughed as I sat down
"How are the preparations going?" Nafeesa asked
"It's going okay I guess" I said
"And Asaal?" Hanifa asked
"She's at the tailors place with Ihsaan and Ruqaya" I said
Then we all kept quiet
"Bro you look tired" khalid said
"Bro I just want to get this done, for her, but she's clearly stressed and I told her the other day, that if she doesn't want to it's fine, but she said no no it's fine I'll do it, I'm worried" i said
"There's no need to worry Bro, that's how women are, she's probably just nervous" Asaad said
"Yeah I don't want her getting a panic attack in the middle of all this" i said
"Nurain, she's my best friend, I know she can handle this, we'll be there if anything goes wrong, your job is to calm her down and assure her everything will go well" Hanifa said
"Exactly" Nafeesa said
I nodded my head and we continued talking about random stuff, then I got a text from Asaal, she told me to come and pick her up, because Ihsaan invited some friends over already to be with them in the car

"I'll be back in some minutes guys" I said
I stood up and left the house, I took my car keys from my pocket and I drove to the tailors shop, I entered and I saw a bunch girls there, then I saw Asaal sitting on a chair crossing her legs and using her phone, as soon as she looked up she smiled, I went over to her and carried the bag she was holding, we went outside and I put the bag at the back seat and she entered the front, then I started driving
"How was the fitting?" I asked
"Apparently i added weight, the clothes were too tight when I tried them on, so they had to be reduced, but everything is okay now" she said
I nodded my head and I continued driving until we got to Asaads house, we came down from the car and entered the house
"I'm back and this time around, with my own oppression too" i said
They all turned around and saw Asaal
"She doesn't look stressed out to me" Khalid said
Then I shot him a glare
"Stressed?" Asaal said
"Nurain was telling us that you're stressed out, doesn't look like it" Hanifa said
Then she sat down on the chair
"Oh" she said
"Are your dresses ready?" Nafeesa asked
"Yes, but one isn't, that's for daurin aure, I'll collect it after the interview tomorrow" she said
"Oh" Nafeesa said
"So are you ready for tomorrow??" Hanifa Asked
"Yes just quite nervous" Asaal said
"It'll be fine" Hanifa said
Then we all continued talking until it was time to go home, I and Asaal got into the car and I started driving us home
"Did you tell them I was stressed" She asked
"Not directly, you know anytime you're stressed it shows on me, cause I also get really stressed too" I said
"Really?" She asked
"Yes" I said
"Don't worry, I'll give you good skincare" She said
"And a kiss too" I said
"Focus on the road" she laughed
We both finally got home and went to my room, she went to her room to get all her skincare stuff and we started talking as she was doing the skincare, I was laying down on her lap as she was putting the moisturiser on my face when she was done, I she made me put on lip balm and I gave her a kiss and put my head on my pillow
"Are you sleeping here today?" I asked
"Do you want me to?" She asked
"Don't ever ask me that" I said
Then I dragged her down
"Sleep" I said
"I'll sleep" she said
"I know you don't sleep at night, you have to sleep with me" I said
"How did you?" She asked looking shocked
"Anytime I'm going to the kitchen in the night, I hear you on the phone with fati, but you have to sleep today" I said
She rolled her eyed and went to her room to change, when she came back she was wearing her pyjamas and holding her iPad and phone in her hand, she came on the bed and was using her phone, I was trying to get her a gift on my laptop
"What are you doing?" She asked looking at me
I could see her from my side view
"I'm trying to pay for something" I said typing in my card details to the laptop
"What are you trying to order" she asked coming closer to me
"Sweatpants" i said, trying to hide it
"Let me see" she said
"I can't show you, cause you'll start wearing them" i said
Then I finished paying and i closed my laptop, she snuggled her way onto my body while I was using my phone, I had to open my legs so that she could fit in, her head was on my chest and she was laying down
"What are you doing?" She asked
"I'm scrolling on instagram, you want to see?" I asked
"Yes please" she said
I brought the phone lower and we were watching instagram reels together, then i suddenly got a text from an unknown number "hi baby we need to talk? I can't believe you're marrying her" that's what the message said, I knew Asaal wasn't slow and she probably read that before me
"I'm going to sleep, I'm tired" She said starting to remove her self from me
I didn't know what to say
"Say your Azkar before you sleep" i said
No answer, she was facing the other side her back facing me, so I couldn't see her face, I kissed her forehead and switched off the room light, and I stepped out to call whoever it was the person picked up immediately
"Hello?" I said
"I thought you wouldn't call" the person said, zarah.
"How did you get my number?" I asked
"You're forgetting you met up with one of our lovely friend recently at gusto?" She said
Shit.
"Please I don't have time for all this and you" I said
"Then why are you still on the phone?" She asked
"Look I left my wife—
"I don't care" she said
"Good night zarah" I said
"I'll call you in the morning?" She asked
"Don't call me again" I said
I ended the call and got back to the room, I knew Asaal wasn't sleeping, and I knew she heard everything, i heard the door open a little when I was out, I climbed the bed and put my arms around her
"I'm sorry" I whispered then I kissed her forehead and I was playing with her hair until I finally fell asleep
