"Fast fast! How long would you dress up!"
Shouted her cousin Amina.

Mariam came out in her long fish cut dress, no makeup at all maybe a small feline flicked eyeliner, she looked so tall and beautiful that anyone could fall head over heels for her, Amina was also admiring her as she adjusted her earrings and hurriedly put her stole around her neck. Now they got down and walked to the wedding hall where everyone was there. As Mariam enters her aunt calls her and says "Both of you don't leave before the function ends okay?"

Mariam nods her head internally rolling her eyes. Her aunt Khadeeja was a good woman who behaved like a friend and was a very easy going person.

The hall was fully decorated with pink and red roses, the fresh scent of the roses tickled her nose. She could see mother's telling their kids not to spoil their dresses by eating and spilling something and even all the young girls constantly asking whether their makeup was on point and helping each other with the dupatta and taking constant selfies and candid pictures. It totally looked like a typical wedding.
Mariam and Amina meet their old friends as they roamed here and there talking to people. Fatima, Zara and Noora, not friends actually they just know those girls well and mingled during family functions. After some time one of the girls exclaimed,

"Zahran is just looking at you!"

Mariam's facial expression changes and she finally blurted out.

"Who's that."

Zara says he's their second cousin and that he has just come to Bedfordshire from London and that it's his first time coming here and Mariam wonders how stupid he must be.

After some time, Mariam and her other dozen of cousin sisters walked carefully to the stairs of the stage that they don't mess up their clothing and to take a few Polaroid pictures with the bride Hishma and as Mariam stood near Hishma while others made silly faces for the picture she noticed not only the cameramen took photos But also Zahran took a picture of Mariam with his phone and Mariam had a doubt whether he really took or maybe its just her imagination.

After this she and Amina noticed Zahran was just following them like a predator and Mariam didn't know how to react she felt her whole body sweating whenever he came around, and all of a sudden he was missing so Amina noticed Mariam's face which lost it's cheer and said.
"Chuck it, he is going to come back anyway."

But Mariam was very busy searching for him and she felt this was definitely going somewhere, She never thought that within few minutes a guy can steal her heart as she stood there looking to her right-hand side with her eyes wandering here and there trying to find him.

Zahran stood right behind her admiring the sight of Mariam searching for him, She didn't even realize until she turned behind and took a few backward steps gasping for air knowing he caught her searching for him.

He smirked with wide eyes and Mariam blushed but she managed to walk away from him, She ran and told this to Amina while they both laughed together, Mariam clearly didn't know where this was going or how this will end up.
