I decided to go to the mall while my husband caught up on some work. Rohan and his wife were out of the state, so I couldn't ask my sister to go with me.
I had just come out of the trial of the trial/fitting room to look in the mirror.

Not bad, I thought to myself.
"You look hideous. No wonder your husband doesn't like you."
I turned to see Nandika.
Oh God, not this b*tch again.
I just ignored her and went back to the trail room. I switched my clothes and went to go and buy the dress.
"How dare you ignore me?" She asked walking behind me.
"Like this," I said getting into my car.
She put her hand to stop the door, but I closed it.
"OUCH! My hand! You b*tch!" She yelled.
I opened it and let it take her hand. While she was looking at it, I drove off.
I know that my husband likes me, so I tried not to think about what she said.
Atif's POV
Is it salt first or pepper? Wait, am I supposed to onions in this? Ugh!
Where's Shyama? I need help.
Right when I asked that she walked in, but she was looking mad and upset.
No hi or anything, she just went upstairs. I turned off the stove and went after her.
She was standing on the balcony. I went and put my arms around her & kissed her cheeck.

"What happen?" I asked.
She went on and told me what Nandika said and how she slammed her hand in the door.
"So why is that bothering you?" I asked.
"I don't know. I guess I still get insecure sometimes," she said.
"Well," I said turning her to face me. "There's no need to be. You can't let someone get to you, espically not her. If I didn't like you then we wouldn't be as close as we are."
She hugged me which I returned.
"If I don't say this enough then I'm sorry, but I love you," I said.
"I love you too," she said.
We stayed like that for a few seconds.
"Now, can you help me make the food before the guest arrive?" I asked.
"It's not done?" She asked.
"Well, uuuummmm I tried,"I said. "But uumm why don't you just look."
We walked into the kitchen and she looked at me.
"Hey! I tried," I said.
"Uh-huh," was her reply.
We both got to work on making food. It took us a while because we started to mess around.
After we were done the guest started to come. Today was just a family together. We still lived with my parents, but I didn't talk to them a lot. I only talked when I needed to. Shyama still talked to them and I decided to just let her.
She came downstairs wearing a beautiful dress and make-up all done.

"You look beautiful," I said.
"Thank you," she said.
"Is this the dress that Nandika saw you in?" I asked and she nodded.
"I'm making her an eye appointment," I said and she laughed.
I went to go and change as more people arrived and just like that we got busy with family.
