Zafeera's dress on the side.

"Zafi "

"Zafi wake up "

Phoppo's  voice woke me up from my deep slumber.

"Hmm hmm five more minutes" I mumble sleepily.

"It's already late and only ten minutes left for asr" she told me.

"Ahh ahh " I groaned and groggily rolled on my back. Rubbing sleep off my eyes, I reluctantly get up.

"When you're done come down , everyone was asking for new bride" phoppo  said , her words bring me out of my oblivion and today's events all come rushing back to me ,like a flashback . I hastily slide off the bed , mumbling a weak reply to her and rushed to the bathroom.

After performing my supplications for both asr and maghrib . I looked myself in the mirror , my eyes are still red and puffy , clothes wrinkled and face ashen , its looks like  weight of the world fell on my shoulders , i sigh heavily  and shook my read from all these thoughts and decided to make myself presentable , there are still guests to entertain,  who all love to gossip about others misery , like they're taking about shopping instead of others life.

I took out a black anarkali from my closet but then decided against it , its bad omen in India for brides to wear black or white , on wedding day and for few days after wedding , although I don't believe in such things but dadi  do , she's an old school . she'll be very  upset if I wear black or white and lets not forgot about all the aunties who are waiting for me, not that I care about them  But they'll say something nasty and that will make dadi and phoppo  upset the and I don't want that to happen the least I could do was make them happy after all they have done for me,  So I grab the first colored dress which comes in my hand , it happens to be a royal blue Georgette anarkali with cigarette pants , the choli is embroidered with beautiful resham work and lace at the border of the frock , and pants are also embroidered with resham and sleeves as well , I quickly changed into it and then braided my hairs into a fish tale and put on some heavy make up to hide my tiredness and puffy eyes , if it was any other day I would love to wear this dress and praise my self but not today , nothing is good about today , there's a  black cloud that was constantly looming  over me  Stopping every ounce  of light. Happiness.

"Zafeera what's taking you so long " Mah asked coming into my room , as soon as she comes in , she wolf whistle , looking at me.

"Wow you look gorgeous Masha'Allah" she compliment me.

"Jazaka'Allahu khair Mah " I thanked her and smiling slightly not feeling happy at all.

"Come on let's go ummi is waiting for you " she told me.
