I groggily wake up for Fajr and read my prayers. Once I'm done I get back into my comfy bed trying to go back to sleep but my stupid phone rings making me turn from my comfortable position to get it.
"What!" I snap without looking at the caller ID
"What a way to greet me?"
My eyes instantly open and I sit up.
"No way!!" I say happily
"What's up dude?" I hear his excited voice
"You woke me up so early to make me hear your annoying voice" I say dryly.
"Shut up!" I hear making me laugh.
"How can you be sleeping when it's your wedding day"
"Well the thing is about me. I'm human, and when I'm tired my body wants to sleep" I say in fascination. I can practically see him roll his eyes.
"Anyways I need to tell you something"
"What"
"I'm coming for your wedding!"
"Don't lie!" I say happily.
"Not lying"
"How?"
"Well I convinced my dad and he said that even he can't miss your wedding so we flew here yesterday and now I'm in a hotel"
"You're in a hotel, what just because my house is slightly small"
"N-"
"So what if it is! You could've slept on the floor!" I shout but not that loudly since Yusra might wake up.
"You see as much as I love to sleep on cold hard floors I was forced to sleep on a soft bed" he says sarcastically making me chuckle."So, you coming over to mine or what"
"Yeah, not now though. It may be morning for you but the rest of the world is asleep you know"
"I was with the rest of the world sleeping! You woke me up!"
He laughs at me making me glare at the pillow in front of me.After talking a bit more with him I finally fell back asleep.
When I woke up again it was hectic. Hana Khala couldn't stop bossing people about. She sent my mother to get ready along with all the other ladies and all my cousins to get dressed. So it was just me and Yusra. I decided to get her changed first.
I put the white and blue dress on for her then brush her hair into a little bun. I get the tiara Zayna got for her and put it on.
She looks in the mirror.
"Princess" she says with a squeal making me laugh.
"My princess" I say while hugging her.
Khala bursts through the door.
"Ayaan! You're supposed to be dressed by now" she shouts but her eyes fall on Yusra.
"Aww, Yus you look beautiful. Just like a princess" she gushes.
"It's all because of me" I say smirking.
She glares at me.
"Go get ready now!"I sigh dramatically then go to my room to put on my suit.
My room unlike the whole house is quiet when I enter. I sit on the bed and sigh.I'm getting married today. To Zayna. I can't even remember when it all started. How I ended up liking her? But I do, if there's anyone to get married to at such age I'd rather it be her. I know one thing for sure, my life will not be boring.
My door bursts open and there stands the bloody guy that said he'll be here in a little bit.
"WOAH dude. You look horrible" he says.
"You look worse, what took you so long!"
He scoffs "traffic was such a pain" he says in a girly tone.
"You're so weird." I say making him grin.His also wearing a suit with a blue tie.
"You're still not changed" he rolls his eyes.
"I know. How long do you think it takes me?"
"A year" he says dryly.
"Hurry up. Hana Khala is coming to check on you"
"Scared?" I tease and he punches my shoulder.
"Haven't done that in a while" he smirks "felt good"
"Oh really?" I say then punch his stomach "So did that" I smirk then get up to get changed.I start fixing my mess of a hair and then shout for my mum.
What I can't do a tie properly.
"You're hopeless" she says once she's done.
"That always boosts my ego" I said sarcastically."Come on, let's go" Ahmed, my best friend says.
I roll my eyes at him but follow.
