I'm Innocent (On Hold)

8. Falak's Birthday

Ouch!

Oh god, why did I even agreed for this party thing? Oh, I know why because I have a friend who is a demon with the face of an angel.

"Why are you screaming so much, it's not that bad," Shanaya said to me irritably.

"It's my first time god damn it and instead of doing this in the salon I am letting you experiment with my body. Ouch." I was shouting at her because she was waxing my legs. I never thought that it would hurt so much or otherwise I would never have done this.

" You are such a drama queen. I have done it so many times."

" Let me ask you how many girls were there?" I asked.

" Okay it was just me but that doesn't matter because now we are done. This deforestation is good for you." She said as she stands up from her sitting position beside my legs.

" What the..." I throw a pillow at her.

She dodged the pillow and went to her almirah. As she opened it up a pile of stuff fell out. She was the most disorganised person I had ever met, there were makeup products, her laundry, her lingeries but along with those there were brown small bottles of medicines. I didn't know she had been taking some sort of prescription.

" What are those for?" I asked curiously.

"Oh, these Uuhmmm these are nothing." She said rather hurriedly.

Are they contraceptive pills? If they are then I don't want to create this situation awkwardly.

" I have selected a very fine item for you and I'm sure you will definitely love it," she said while searching for the 'item' in her almirah.

" I'm not sure Shanaya, you have a very model type figure so I don't think your dress will fit me," I said rather dejectedly, sure earlier I didn't want to go to this party but now I was kind of excited. Like all girls, I also didn't have anything to wear but here reason was good. I was more of a t-shirt and sneaker type of a girl so buying pretty dresses was not my thing.

" This is the one," she said happily as she dangles it in front of me.

"Oh my gosh" I whispered in awe. It was a red sleeveless dress with a sweetheart neckline and a beautiful flare which can surely hide my tiny bloated belly.

" It's very pretty but are you sure this will suit me?" I asked

"Just try it on babe," she said while rolling her eyes at me.

I put the dress on and surprisingly it was perfect for my body. When I look into the mirror a mere flash of my dream came to my mind. The Red Silk...

" I knew this would look amazing on you and you can wear your one and only black heels with it too". She said excitedly.

" How did you know that I have only one pair of heel?" I asked slightly confused. I didn't remember any instance where I have shown her my wardrobe.

"Babe I'm a girl and we are talking about the heels, every item of clothing is like a magnet for girls." She was giving me an 'it is very obvious' look.

"Now go to your room and get ready by 5:30."

"Okay ma'am " I went to my room for a quick shower and put the dress on again then I combed my hair and decided to leave them open. I applied the winged eyeliner and kohl and lipgloss. When I looked at the mirror I found a very different mehek then, this mehek was not clumsy or disoriented this mehek was beautiful and confident. Just how your outfits can change your personality even if it was for a time being.
