“Oh my god! Do you know what just happened? Remember I told you about Humna’s rishta with that Azfar guy?? Well it got fixed… I’m just so happy for her.” I said excitedly as I was talking to Zayn on Skype. “…and you know they’ve decided to have the engagement within a week, because Azfar bhai has to go to Canada for his meeting with the other doctor.”

“Oh that’s sad… ” Zayn smiled but I interrupted him. “…and you know I’ll get my license tomorrow In sha Allah!” I told him as I placed my hair at the back. “...Nice.” Was all he could say, what a boring fella; he isn’t even excited about my card at all. Zayn was about to speak when I heard Liam on the other side screaming as he entered the room.

“Zayn come, George just called in he wants us to be at the office. It’s an urgent meeting, Niall and Louis are on their way and Harry is stuck in the traffic jam. It’ll take him a while.”

I listened to him and kept whispering to Zayn to go, so he just excused himself and went offline. Later that evening Ayesha, Humna and I along with dad went for shopping; we had to buy gifts and a ring for the groom and obviously dresses for ourselves. Anyhow it got very late and now only my shopping was left so we decided to do it the next day.

“Hurry up Farah! We’ve got so many other works to do too…” I heard Ayesha coming up. “I am coming…” I quickly pinned two hair pins in my hair and hurried downstairs, meanwhile Ayesha grabbed her handbag and joined us.

Since the past hour or maybe more than that, we were at a boutique, it wasn’t an expensive one it was just a moderate one. I had tried on so many dresses but couldn’t decide which one to buy exactly. I picked out three dresses which I thought looked best and messaged it to Zayn hoping that he’d better reply soon. The dresses were of different colour, the first one was white it had sliver work on it; the second one was dark lemon yellow, it had golden and brown net work on it with  borders at the bottom and the third one was maroon; it had a big chocolate brown motif at the back and a small motif of same design in front near the left shoulder. All the dresses were long and flowy along with straight pants.

Within five minutes Zayn replied, “Hey love, tough decision … I liked the yellow one best, though they all will look good on you but yellow is something special… ttyl babe, in the meeting right now x”

I smiled spread across my face. “Hurry up Farah did you make up your mind now?? We can’t sit in this boutique for the rest of your life….and stop using your cellphone for a day.” Ayesha said, taking away my mobile from me. “Hey! Give it back… yea I’ve decided I’ll go with this dress; it’s pretty right plus I’ve got matching heels with it too.” I said handing her that yellow dress, took my cellphone and in return she nodded.

The whole week went in a hassle from packing all the gifts to inviting all the close family and friends; from placing order of the menu to cleaning the whole house. Finally it was Hamna’s Engagement day and here I was standing in the corner having tears of joy looking at my sister who was dressed beautifully and Azfar bhai complimented her perfectly, they looked prefect together. It was a moment when tears started forming in my eyes and at the same time I was smiling like an idiot. It was a happy day, I should not be crying, but I missed my mom terribly today. Why do things have to be like that??

*Zayn's POV*

I got home quickly and anxiously started waiting for Fari to come online. I just can’t wait to hear her tell me about Pakistani engagement event thingy. Basically I was excited not only talking about Pakistan made me happy but the way Farah describes it make me fell in love with it more and to visit Pak even.
