On The Wings Of Dream

Chapter 22:meeting Bilal's family

Yusrah.

The next day was Saturday so I woke up as early as five. I prayed, read the Holy book before doing all my house chores.

I was so nervous and afraid of the way Bilal's family will welcome me. I've heard so many times of the unnecessary hatred a groom's family show to his bride. I pray my Bilal's family is not like that.

"Yusrah".

Ummi called, entering my room and sat on the bed beside me.

"Don't tell me you are scared of meeting Bilal's family? Calm down my dear everything will be alright".

I smiled and leaned on her.

"Oya get up let me help you look for a decent cloth to wear".

Ummi said as she sprang up and went to my wardrobe. She brought out a coffee and yellow with touches of green and red colour Ankara wrapper and blouse.

"Here, wear this".

She handed me the new well ironed cloth and brought out a big yellow cotton veil with a matching shoe.

"Go and take your bath. And be fast!".

Ummi said going out of the room.

I sighed before going into the toilet.

I filled the bath with warm water and poured humrah in it. I washed my hair with a sweet scented shampoo before giving my body a thorough scrub.

I came out wiping my long wet hair with a towel when my phone started ringing. It was Bilal so I picked up quickly with a beautiful smile.

"Baby!".

I chuckled at how he whined out my name.

"Yes baby"!.

I replied also earning a chuckle from him.

"Babe am outside your house. Are you done getting ready?".

"Oooo emmm geee! Please just gimme thirty minutes and I will be right there."

"OK babe lemme come in and greet Abba then".

"Okay bismillah".

I replied and quickly cut off the call and threw the phone on my bed.

I quickly grabbed my body lotion and rubbed, then my humrah.

I did a quick simple make up.

I slipped into my clothes and carefully tied the headgear perfectly. I wrapped my body in the big veil, slipped my feet into the heeled vine shoe, sprayed perfume, grabbed my phone and quickly went out.

My Bilal was sitting in his car, scrolling on his phone. He was looking so good today in his black kaftan and his cap. He flashed me his handsome smile and quickly came out and opened the passenger door for me.

I side hugged him before entering and ohh God how much I love his cologne!

He got into the other side and kissed my forehead. I fluttered my eyes and kissed him on the cheeks.

"Habibty shall we?".

"Oui habeeby"!

I said and we both laughed. He started the engine and drove out of the house.

I was sweating all through the ride. We pulled into a large beautiful storey building and I swear I only see the kinds in televisions.

The house was all painted milk colour and brown, green flowers adorned the house. Everywhere was looking so neat and attractive.
