Islam Is My Diamond

Chapter 13 - It's Happening

Everyone in the room went quiet. There were a few whispers, but overall everyone had their attention on the two couple. I on the other hand had my attention on Noah, and let me just say he looked cuter then any guy model in that black suit and silver tie. His brown hair was brushed and his skin looked smoother like he just shaved. To be honest, he looked more handsome with his facial hair and adorable with his messy hair. As if he had just read my mind, he ran his hand through his hair, but that made him earn a glare from his father. He brushed it with his fingers to fix the damage, but that just messed up his hair even more.

"Why are you chuckling?" asked Laila startling me.

"Nothing," I replied quickly. Laila just looked at me with suspicion and thankfully she didn't push me for more. That's one of the things I love about her.

"Oh my Allah! What was this girl thinking? This is why she needed to take me dress shopping with her, because clearly the girl is color blind," I heard Yasmin mumble next to me.

"What girl?" I asked curiously. Everyone in this room had beautiful dresses on; it amazes me that dresses like these actually exist in today's world.

"Ella! Who else would I be talking about?" she replied clearly aggravated that we didn't take the hint of who she was mentioning.

"What are you talking about? Her dress is perfectly fine," I said clearly confused by what Yasmin is trying to say.

"It's not white. I don't know, maybe I am the one who is color blind," Yasmin said hesitantly.

Yasmin was right. Her dress wasn't white; it was a light shade of pearl pink. It was nothing fancy. The top of the dress and half the sleeve was made out of lace that shaped into flowers. The rest of the skirt was flowy. The scarf was the same color as the dress and she was wearing a sparkly headband that made it look like she was wearing a tiara. She really did look like a princess tonight and the light make up made her famous grey eyes look brighter.

"Are you really going to argue about what color her dress really is? Well it is not blue, black, white, or gold. So no Yasmin, you are not color blind," Laila said suddenly startling me and Yasmin.

"We were not arguing! We were simply talking like the mature adults we are. I was just making sure I wasn't seeing things," Yasmin said defending herself.

"Excuse me you three but I am here trying to listen to the sheikh and I can't because you kids are making too much noise. If you want to talk could you kindly please exit the room and talk all you want outside," all three of us jumped from our seat and turned around to see a women who looked like she was inn her mid forties, and she had a very angry expression on her face that was meant for them.

Did this lady just call us kids? Apparently we KIDS were older then the girl who was about to get married. Actually, I am the youngest, but still Ella is the second youngest which makes Laila and Yasmin the oldest. Me and Yasmin looked at each other, annoyed that the lady talked to us as if we were little children.

Yasmin was about to say something to the lady, but Laila being the bigger person beat her to it and told the lady, "Sorry, Aunty. We didn't mean to disturb you. We just got caught up in the moment because our little sister here," she said pointing to Ella, "is about to get wed, and it got us all excited and happy for her. We will stay quiet next time," Laila promised.

The look the women gave us after that was priceless. If she was a cartoon character steam would be coming out of her ears. We turned around and faced to the front trying not to laugh after seeing the women's expression. When I turned my attention to what was happening in the front I realized that Noah wasn't there anymore. This indicated that Noah must have taken his seat with the other men on the second side of the room, but when I looked around the room I saw him leaning against the wall looking straight at me.
