I should've followed Hoor's instructions regarding our unannounced date.

1. Choose a not so famous place.
I chose the most talked place in town.

2. The girls don't know about us yet.
I requested Inaya to join us to reduce the shadow of doubt.

All of the reasons were linked with the revelation of our relationship in front of the girls. We didn't intend to cover this reality from them, Hoor was just worried about me facing their stages of approval. At first, I thought it wasn't as serious as defined but as I'm sitting next to these girls, it sure wasn't an ideal threat.

I watch, trying to stay composed, as the girls huddle together like a jury about to deliver the final verdict. Hoorain is sitting beside me, her head drooping slightly so I scoot closer, allowing my sleepy bear to sleep on my shoulder. She's exhausted, her usual energy dimmed after whatever mischief these three have been up to, but still, she's here. I'm not sure if it's out of support or curiosity to see me get grilled alive by her best friends. The sec option seems more appealing.

Maha clears her throat and leans forward, dramatically holding out her hand to continue. "Alright, Ahad Bhai. We have a little tradition here. To officially date our dear Hoorain, you must pass... the Partner Girls Check."

Ayan, sipping his Pina colada, snorts. "On recording" he mutters, shaking his head with amusement. Rayan, as expected, is completely uninterested, lounging on the chair beside me, his arms crossed and eyes half-lidded.

But the girls are not to be trifled with.

Ayra crosses her arms, squaring her gaze at me. "So there will be scenarios and questions to check if you're really suitable for her"

Zaid chimes in before I can speak, "aren't you so childish for someone genius"

Ayra scoffs clearly taking offense, "I'm not childish"

"Then you're just a genius" he smirks

"Uhh stop with your hot enemy banter and let's focus on Ahara right now" Inaya wipes her fingers with tissue and focuses on me now, "we could've interviewed you as well but neither Ayra wants you nor do you want her"

Zaid nods and I brace myself for the questions and scenarios they're about to throw in my direction.

Ayra straightens up. "So are you ready?"

I nod, though internally I'm starting to wonder what kind of questions will be there? Hoorain's like and dislikes maybe?. "Alright"

Maha leans forward, narrowing her eyes. "Let's say Hoor has a sudden craving for mangoes at 3 AM, but you're out of mangoes. What's your move?"

I blink, my brain trying to catch up with the weirdness of the question. Mangoes? I mean what kind of first question is that? "I'd go out and buy mangoes"
