Simply Complicated

chapter 15

" Beta, are you ready ?" Asked Sara appi's mom.

"Yeah, we both are almost ready just a final touch up. " Sara appi said.

we are going to some wedding and I didn't even know whose . The thing I know was it was related to Murat. I was still mad at him so I didn't plan to meet him or see him in the wedding today .

I wore a nice pretty peach anarkali with a scarf of the same colour such that none of my hair is visible.

As soon as we reached there we met Saba and greeted her mother .
Most of them were staring me and specially few boys (who by mistake entered the girls section ) stared continuously. I felt weird as to why they were constantly looking at me.

Was I looking like a joker or my makeup was bad . All negative things started coming to my mind but then Sara appi reassured that I was looking absolutely fine.

I felt awkward a little bit as people were continuesly staring at me. I then with Sara appi and saba headed towards the table for dinner .

Still those boys were staring .
The nerve of that boys!
I felt like throwing them out of the girls section. First of all they were in girl's section, I don't know for what reason and secondly they were staring at us , innocent girl's.
I just ignored them.

While we were seated for dinner . Sara appi started joking around and I laughed without realising that there was a medium aged women sitting next beside me .

"Beta "

"Yes, aunty ,"

"Are you married?"

I was taken aback .
I mean , seriously??? Do I look that old that stranger aunties are asking me if I am married or not. I am just a 15 year old kid studying in 10th standard .

I was drinking water and when I heard that, I was just about to spill water out , bit I instead gulped it down and tried my best to not laugh.

"No aunty , I am studying in 10th standard"

"Ohh, what does your parents work ?"

Why should I tell her about my parents and our life . Who was she first of all. But islam teaches us to be kind so I replied.

"Dad Is an engineer and mom is a teacher by profession "

I quickly turned and ignored her as if she doesn't exist and busied myself eating the delicious food .

At start that boys stared and now this aunty 's direct approach. Was I looking that bad or that big . I was confused. I don't usually attend weddings but as I was at Sara appi's house so she insisted me to come.

"It's too hot here, I think we should go somewhere out "

"Yes, sure" both Sara appi and saba said in unison.

We were standing out , little far from the boys section. I felt better , because it was actually very hot inside.

After sometime , Murat with his nephew came . His nephew's name was ibrahim and he was so cute .

He was standing just beside me and I looked at both of them continuesly. He looked so adorable with kids. I tried so hard not to see them , but ended up seeing them more.

Sara appi's mom told us to leave and we left . When we reached home we discussed our day and laughed our heart out when that proposals topic was in picture.

I told Murat everything that happend today including that proposal on that he commented

"If you will look this good , then obviously they will ask you out for marriage "

I was trying to figure out if that was a compliment , or he was jealous or he said that sarcastically . It showed so many emotions that it was difficult to decipher.

Why can't he just tell how he feel because how he acts , that confuses me.
