IF  ALLAH  IS  MAKING  YOU  WAIT,  THEN  BE  PREPARED  TO  RECEIVE  MORE  THAN  WHAT  YOU  ASKED  FOR

"YO! WE HERE!" Slim screams from across the street and we both snap out of our trance
"We erm.. we need to go" I say and he nods his head
"Yeah let's go" he replies crossing the road with me three steps behind him

Six hours later

"Make sure you keep in touch, you're shit at replying to texts" Naz says and I nod my head
"We'll see if I'm free, I'm about to get so busy" I say already mentally tired before it's even started
"We'll see you soon then" Adam says and I say one last goodbye before getting into my taxi which is my ride to the airport

The drive is only half an hour long and as we pull up at the airport, my phone starts to ring

Jason (work)

I answer the phone with a hello
"Zara where are you the flights in an hour" he asks
"I'm just walking in now" I say wheeling my suitcase behind me
"Okay well we're at the cafè near gate 7" he explains
"Okay I'm coming" I say before hanging up

A few minutes later I see Alice sitting on a chair with her legs up
"Hey sorry I'm a bit late" I say and they all look up from whatever was occupying them 

Jason was typing away on his laptop, Alice was texting away and Farhan was writing something down
"I got an email confirmation, they've started altering your dress and it should be shipped within two weeks" Alice says as I sit down
"Okay that's good" I nod my head
"Get on the plane, come on" Jason says hastily packing away his laptop

I get up and lead the way, showing the woman at the desk my passport and ticket.
"Have a nice flight" she smiles
"Thank you" I reply taking my passport back
I look at my seat number to make sure I'm not gonna be in the wrong seat,

17A

Where's 17A?

I walk along the middle of the plane checking the number of each seat as I go

15C
16A
16B
16C
17A

When I find it, I shove my suitcase into the cubby and sit down. I sigh loudly and lean my head back
"Tired?" Alice asks sitting down next to me and I nod my head
"On another level" I reply and she laughs
"Well you've got more of that to look forward to" she sighs getting comfortable for the long flight ahead

10 hours later

"Thank you for flying EasyJet, we hope you had a good flight and hope to see you again"

The plane comes to a stop and I stretch while yawning
"Come on" Alice says taking my suitcase down from the cubby hole
We leave the plane and follow everyone into the airport where they do some more checks
Once we're finally out, I scan the crowd for my mum and dad

"Zaraaa!" I hear my brothers voice coming from my left
I turn my head and see my mum, dad and brother waving their hands like crazy

I laugh to myself before making my way to them
"Aslaamuaikum" I greet as my mum pulls me in for a hug
"How was it?" My dad asks kissing my head
"It was good" I nod my head and Kaisar smiles at me

Dad leads us back to the car and Kaisar takes my suitcase off me and wheels it to the car.
"I hate that you guys can't come to France with me you know" I speak up as dad drives out of the airport car park
"You know we wish we could but we're all too busy, especially now that Kaisar has decided he wants to get married" mum speaks
"Wait what?" I ask looking to my right at Kaisar
"Mum! I was gonna tell her myself!" He argues and mum laughs
"She was going to find out anyways" my mum laughs

"You want to get married?" I ask turning my body towards and tilting my head to right so I can rest it on the car seat
"Yeah I met this girl a few years ago and we've been talking since then and the other day I just asked her if she wanted to get married and she said yes" he shrugs acting as if this isn't a big deal
"Well what am I gonna wear! I won't have time to come and shop for your wedding!" I wave my hands in the air kinda pissed that they didn't tell me earlier

"I'm not getting married for another six month so chill" Kaisar grabs my hands from mid air and puts them back in my lap
"Oh wait that's okay then" I sigh in relief and my dad laughs
"I will never understand you girls" dad shakes his head and I laugh to myself before leaning my head back and relaxing my eyes
