IBTEEY'S POV
"Gosh! Ibteey you look amazing!" Samreen gasped as I walked out of the bathroom wearing the dress she made for me!
"Thanks!" I said with a smile.
"Now lets complete your look with some make up!" She said sitting me down on a stool.
Samreen came two weeks ago but due to her cheery and bubbly charisma, we bonded. She works at Evergreen Advert as a designer for their models. She's a half caste because her dad is Lebanese and her mom is Indian. At 25 she looks very young. She's adorable and very nice.
She did my make up perfectly. I knew I was looking good.
"Thank You!" I said hugging her
"Now dont spoil your make up!" She teased slightly pushing me. She excused herself to go and change while I go out to meet the few friends I've made over the month. Two Nigerians and Five Egyptians. They all came along with their friends. They cooed at my dress and hugged me, air kissed, took photos with me. Then we danced a little and ate from Samreen's delicious Kebab and Indian.snacks.
Ding!
"Are we expecting any visitor?" I asked them. They all shook their head in the negative. So I just headed for the door and opened it.
Then I froze.
Imran was looking at me with those Dreamy hazel eyes. I was dumbfounded. What is he doing here?? I was staring at him....Shocked...Amazed. He was staring back too.
"Hi!" I finally find my voice
" Hey!! Happy Birthday!" He says with a smile
That. Smile.
"Thank you" I finally said.
"So...are you letting me in?" He questioned
Damn!
I just realised I was standing by the door looking goofily at him.
"Oh! Am..sorry!" I looked embarassed really. I stepped aside and he walked in.
"And sorry its an 'all girls' party!" I stated closing the door
"Its okay. I'm not staying long. I just brought this!" He said passing a box
He got me a gift???!!!
"Thankyou!" I said with a smile. I walked past him and he trailed behind as we entered the living room.
"Everyone...This is Imran, my....!"
Wait! What should I call him?
"Friend!" I heard Imran say from behind me.
Goodness!
Everyone smiled as they shook hands. I know he looked a bit uncomfortable in the midst of girls.
"Time to cut the cake!" Samreen cooed pushing in the cart which contained the large Disney Princesses Cake. Baaba had some cute bakery to make it for me. Its very adorable, heart shaped with alot of cream and glitters. Cinderella, Snowhite, Jasmine and ofcourse Elsa were drawn on it. It looked muaaahh.
Everyone huddled around me as Samreen lighted the 19 candles she stuck there.
"Make a wish!" She said
I looked up at all my friends...they were all smilling. I caught Imran's hazel eyes. He was smilling too. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
I wish for someone that'll make me happy forever!
Wait! Did I just wish for that?
I gently blow out the candles and everyine cheered and clapped. I hugged all of them. We cut the cake and shared it around. Imran decided to leave afterwards. I walk him to the door and bade him goodnight.
"I really had a great day Baaba! It was amazing. I felt like a new disney princess!" I blabbered through the phone
"Well am glad. I was worried sick about you. I thought you'll cry and whine cause you're not at home!" he said
"Come on Baaba! I'mma grown up!" I stated
"A grown up huh? Who still calls her daddy everynight before she goes to bed!" he teased.
"Baaaba!" I whined
He chuckled lightly.
"I miss you so much darling!"
"I miss you more Baaba!"
"Take care of yourself. Bye!"
"Ba Byee!"
I hung up and sat up. I was lying down all through the phone call on the sofa. I looked at the gifts displayed on the centre table. Samreen came out of her room, niw dressed in her Pj's.
"Time to open the gifts!" She said rubbing her palms. I sat up properly as she started to tear up the first gift.
I got a shirt with Ed Sheeran's picture on, a mug with 'i love me' printed on it, a scarf, a purse,manicure set,some cute note pads,fancy key holders blah blah. Samreen opened the last gift which was from Imran. I took a deep breath.
A velvet box with Tiffany & Co. printed on it was laid perfectly in the box. Samreen looked up at me, my jaw dropped. She gently opened the box, froze.
She turned it towrds me and then....I froze.
A perfect silver bracelet lay in it with my name engraved on it. It was surrounded by crystals and precious stones. I reached it for it and touched it...making sure it was real.
I've always wanted this kind of gift, but not from someone like Imran. I was baffled.
"Wow!!!" Samreen broke the silence.
I looked up at her and smiled.
"You dont seem to like it!" She said raising an eyebrow.
"I do like it but.....!"
"But what?"
"Forget it!" I finally said grabbing the sheets. I dumped them in the waste bin and gathered up the gifts to my room. I gave Samreen the mug and scarf, then bade her goodnyte.
As soon as I settled on my bed, I texted him.
Me:Hey....Thank you for the bracelet. Its very kind of you.
Imran:Never mind. I hope you like it?
Me: Yeah I do.
Imran: Am glad you like it. I was nervous if Nasma was saying the truth about your likes.
Wait?...What?? He consulted someone just to get me a birthday gift? Wowwww! He is really mysterious.
Me: Guess she was right!
Imran: so....see you at school
Me: Okay! Bye.
Pheww!!! My heart was beating fast all through the conversation. I turned to the other side of the bed and closed my eyes.
This is the best birthday ever!!!!.....
