Me And My JJ

56

Anaya's P.O.V

I yawn and climb out of bed. Me and Harris have been engaged for a week now and today is the dholki.

This is only for the girls side so I won't see Harris. To be honest my family haven't let me see him and his family haven't let him see me. This probably means I won't see him until our nikkah which is in a month. I won't even get to see him on our mehndi because we'll be in separate halls.

I can't even ring him. What is this? I really miss him and it's been a week. I have to last another month yet.

I brush my teeth, do my business and wash my face. The dholki isn't till the evening so I can chill for the day. I grab my phone and go downstairs.

As I'm pouring myself some coffee my phone rings.
I answer the call,
"Hey" I answer
"ANAYA!" Ayesha screams and I laugh
"How far are you guys?" I ask

They're travelling on the train to come for my wedding. It's gonna be a big sleepover for two months. I can't wait

"We're like half an hour away" she replies
"Safe, have you guys ate breakfast?" I ask
"We ate ages ago, we're ready for lunch now" she says and I laugh

"I'm eating my breakfast now" I tell her
"Lazy bitch" she says, "We're expecting food when we come"
"Don't worry, I'll get off my lazy ass and make some food for my babies" I say
"Yay" she cheers
"Okay, I'm gonna go cook for you now" I say
"Bye darling" she replies and I hang up

I finish my cereal and get up. I wash my bowl and spoon and put them away.
"Mum?!" I shout
No reply
"Dad?!" I shout
No reply

My phone pings, and it's a text from my mum

Me and your dad are out so you're gonna have to make your own breakfast xx - Mummy😘

I roll my eyes and call Fayzaan. It's seriously weird to not have my brothers in the house. I feel so alone sometimes. I miss their company. It's just so scary seeing them grow up and have a family of their own. I know it's soppy but it just feels like yesterday when they would fight over who got to play with 'mum's new baby'. And now here I am, about to get married. It's crazy. Sulaiman's not far from being a dad now and it's not long till the rest of them are dads too.

"Naya!" Fayzaan answers happily
"Fezy!" I laugh
"Wassup?" He asks and I roll me eyes
"Your attempt at being cool flopped" I tell him
"It's been one second and you've already said something hurtful, that's a new record" he says and I smile
"You make it easy" I say and he scoffs

"Anyways, the girls are coming over and they're hungry and I don't know what to make them" I explain
"Well, what do you wanna eat?" He asks
"Nothing for once" I say and he gasps
"You don't want to eat anything?" He asks faking shock

"Ha ha you funny guy" I say sarcastically
"Make lasagna and chips innit" he says
"Thats actually a good idea you know" I reply
"I know" he replies

"Okay I'm gonna start now so I'll see you later today" I tell him
"Yeah, okay bye" he says and I hang up

I put my hair up and put an apron on. I put on some music and start cooking. Obviously snapchatting as I go.
Once the lasagne is in the oven and the chips are made, I upstairs and make little beds on the floor for them all.

I lay out thin four mattresses on the floor and cover them with clean bedding. I throw a pillow on top of each one and also a duvet.

I tidy my own bed up a bit and my room when the door bell rings. I run down and open the door before being tackled down to the ground.
"Get... Off" I say
They get off my eventually and I sigh getting up and straightening out my clothes

"Where's the food?" Ayesha asks and I snort
"Wow I feel so loved" I say sarcastically
"Sit down in the dining room, I'll bring it" I say and they all go sit down

I had already laid out the plates and glasses and stuff. I take the tray of chips and put it down with the ketchup.

I take the lasagne out the oven and take it to the table.
"How are you such a good cook?" Alina asks taking a bite of my lasagna
"I try" I say and fake flip my hair

🕒

"Come on! It's your dholki! You have to dance!" The aunties shout and I shake my head
"Come on! Show us all your clothes!" Another one shouts

"Anaya, go on, go dance" Ayesha says
I roll my eyes
"Fine!" I say and get up

I fix my hair and take off my gold heels. I straighten my gold and blue salwar kameez, and then start dancing.

I finish dancing and everyone claps. I sit back down in my place and everyone starts singing and doing the dhol again.

Just sitting in this type of atmosphere and being the centre of attention just makes everything feel so real. And now I can't wait to get married.

I can't wait to see Harris...
