Noor was putting the final touches on me, her hands deftly adjusting every detail. Once she finished, I stepped back and caught my reflection in the mirror.

The navy blue dress hugged my figure perfectly, while a delicate necklace lay gracefully against my collarbone.

A bracelet sparkled on my wrist, and my makeup was flawless, reminiscent of a pink princess. My hair was neatly styled in a bun, adorned with pearls that shimmered softly.

Overall, I looked perfect.

Noor chuckled, a playful glint in her eyes. "Kyun, chaunk gyi?

("Surprised?")

As I gazed into the mirror, I turned slightly toward her, a hint of a smile on my lips. "Why would I be surprised? I expected nothing less from you," I said, my voice light with gratitude.

I pivoted fully to face her. "You are amazing, Noor. Thank you so much."

She reached out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear, her touch gentle. "You're beautiful. I've just enhanced what was already there."

I smiled back at her, feeling a warmth in my heart.

"Murad's going to be mesmerized as soon as he sees you," Noor said with a playful wink.

I laughed, feeling a flutter of excitement. "I should call him and let him know I'll pick him up from home."

"Yeah, sure."

I dialed Murad's number while Noor started packing away her makeup. The phone rang as I stepped out onto the balcony. A gentle breeze brushed against me, bringing a sense of calm that felt refreshing.

When he answered, his voice was cheerful. "Hello!"

"Mr. Murad, are you ready?" I asked, trying to keep my tone light.
