Someone Else's Diary

10. Shoppings and losings

Mariam.

I was in the kitchen helping my aunt Khadeeja cook breakfast as she started teasing me, these aunts have no other work maybe.

"You're not even able to cut onions...how will you cook for your husband?" I just faked a smile and glared at her.

I could not believe I will be leaving my house...this house in a couple of months.

Today I took an off from the hospital as myself and Amina decided to go shopping for my Mehandi function which was next month..well there's a month but still its not enough for me.

Amina messaged me for the hundredth time...seems like it's her Mehendi function, she's excited more than me!

Amina: Assalamu Alaikum I'll be leaving the site by three...after my exterior designing work is over.1.45PM

Mariam: Walaikum asalam it's okay come patiently.1.50PM

Amina: Fine bye now.1.56PM

***********

I finished my zuhr prayer and took a shower, as I came out it was already half past two I rushed down for lunch and my ever loving father was waiting for me.

"You're always late for lunch!" He said as he already started taking a bite of his food.

"Sorry dad I was just taking a shower," I made a puppy face as I started keeping the food on my plate.

"You always have an excuse don't you?" He said.

After lunch I went up and my phone had three missed calls and it was from Amina ofcourse, I wore my abaya and rushed down to see her sitting in the hall with crossed legs.

"Don't think Zahran will wait like me!" She said trying to be angry as she crossed her hands across her chest.

"What the hell it's exactly three and I came down at the right time you buffalo," I twisted her ears playfully,
We got in the car and first decided to pick a dress..obviously.

We spent almost three hours selecting two dresses for my mehendi function and we got other necessary stuffs and it was just going on and on...women's shopping never ends.

Next we went to Sephora to buy some makeup for my wedding and other functions, we were roaming to see what else we needed.

And all of a sudden I found a familiar face.. Zahran!!
He was there standing at the men's section of the store, He saw me and started grinning ear to ear..literally.

And there was his friend Fahir, they both walked up to us and I decided not to talk at least till wedding and I had told him about that...but still he started coming towards us. But to my surprise he just smiled and walked passing me..he also didn't talk to me.
Fahir kept on starring at Amina making her disgust to the core.

"What the hell is wrong with this guy, he's looking at me like he is gonna eat me up or something," She whined.

"It's okay don't bother..umm But he's Zahrans best friend and I've seen him back at Bedfordshire," I said not knowing what to say.

"Well he looks like an eagle," she said creasing her eye brows and shrugging.

We had our dinner outside and I had to rush home because I felt the food already started making me feel uncomfortable and I had to use the bathroom as soon as possible.

"Assalamu Alaikum mami," I said as I entered my house and saw khadeeja, before she could reply I ran upstairs to my bathroom..ugh.

Even the toilet seat was so cold making me cringe. Why is everything behind my back now.

I felt so tired and my legs ached like crap, walking and roaming the whole day, and still I've not finished buying stuffs.

Amina called me and I let it ring just to tease her... I picked up the call after sometime and she screamed

"My wallet is missing!"

"What? Are you serious!" I asked almost shouting.

"Yes! I had my license, my card, my shit, my crap and almost everything," she spoke almost crying.

"I'm so sorry about this ,we'll go back and search for it, what do you say?" I asked.

"I'll see what to do," she said and hung up.

I felt bad for her, but we had to search and get it as it was very important for her..but how.

Yours truly *checking if my wallet is safe*
