The flight landed and it was 3:00 pm . We went to our house , freshened up , had lunch and took some rest . "When will you inform Esha and Amina ? " Osaid asked .
"First let's go to Makkah and Madina and come back and do some shopping . Then I will surprise them by going to school directly . " I said as dad announced that we will be leaving for Makkah tomorrow . "Hey , what you doing ? " Esha texted . "Nothing much just engaged with some projects , ttyl . " I lied and went to sleep .
I woke up , took a bath and got into a pink and black salwar kameez and had cornflakes and strawberry for breakfast . "It's a four days trip , so keep some clothes . " mom said as I started packing . We left at 1:00 pm and reached Makkah by 10:15 pm as it was 900 km from Riyadh . Two days were spent in Makkah and other two days in Madina . We were so swamped with prayers and all that we didn't realize how fast the days went .
"Let's go to Jeddah and Dammam and then we will head back to Riyadh after 3 days . " dad suggested .These places for famous only for carnishes (beaches) so basically we spent all the 3 days in water . We did some shopping and tried some new dishes and hotels .
On the way back to Riyadh , dad received a text from my school . "They want you to attend the classes from 6th of October as your mid-term portions are being completed and the exams will start soon . " dad said .
"6th October ? It's day after tomorrow . I haven't met Esh and Amy yet and it's been only a week , I wanna stay longer . " I complained .
"I know but you can't miss the classes either . Go to school tomorrow and then stay with them till around 10:00 pm and then we will drop you at the airport , your flight will be at 11:30 pm or 12:00 am , okay ? " Dad asked as I nodded.
"I have never travelled alone , at least send Osaid with me . " I said . "Come on didi , you ain't going for a war . " Osaid said , afraid that dad might agree to send him with me . We reached Riyadh by mid-night .
The next day I got into a pair of black jeans with a black inner tucked in and a dark blue over coat . I wore my velvet boots and tied a messy bun . On went my new brown abaya . I applied a thick coat of maroon nail paint and a blood red lipstick with grey smokey eyes . I had to reach the school by 12:30 am as it was the closing time .
"Mom ask Abbu to drop me at school . " I said loudly making myself audible till the kitchen . "He has gone out , I will book a limo for you . " she said .
As we neared the school , I saw all the children leaving . I hurried towards our waiting area and saw Esha sitting by the staircase , busy in her phone while Amy was chatting with some junior . I covered my face with my hijab and sat right in between them .
"Can I please make a call ? " I asked Esha for her phone . "Yeah sure , wait ! What the actual fuck . Oh my God , are you freaking serious ? Amina look . " Esha screamed as she removed the hijab off my face .
Esha's POV:
I was sitting by the staircase as I heard a voice asking for my phone to make a call . The voice felt quite familiar . Then my mind flickered and I just couldn't believe my eyes after I pulled the hijab off her face . I literally started screaming and even Amina did the same after seeing Tuba . I jumped on her with such a force that both of us literally slept on the stairs .
"When did you come bitch ? " Amy asked as she wiped the tears of joy .
"Last week , thought of giving you guys a surprise so didn't inform . "
"My place ! " I screamed even before Tuba could question . Amina rung up her mom and informed and then we all headed to my house . Me and Amy washed our face and made ourselves passable . "Give me a dress to wear . " Amy ordered as she took out her uniform .
"Wit wait wait . I have got some thing for you guys . " Tuba said as she took out two packages and handed it to each of us . As I unwrapped mine , I found a beautiful knee length black dress and a pair of bangle earrings . Amina got a red colored laced long dress with a small slit at the back and a pair of ear hangings .
"It's beautiful . " I said as both of us got into our new dresses . We applied very little makeup and went outside with my DSLR for a photo shoot . We clicked many pictures , met Zareer for a while and then chatted . We had biryani for lunch and some chocolate ice cream .
Tuba had so many stories to say that we didn't get a single chance to talk . We video called Fatima and made her jealous and went live on Instagram and Tuba introduced us to her new friends and a hot guy - Nayeem .
It was 9:30 pm when her dad called up and asked her to get ready . "You were gonna stay at night , right ? " I asked . "Umm..no Esh , I gotta leave . " she said .
"But why ? At least for one night Tuba . " Amy complained . "Am leaving for India and I have a flight to board tonight . " she said as me and Amy opened our mouths in shock . "And what is so urgent that you have to go so fast ? " Amy asked as Tuba explained everything to us .
We heard a honk as she gathered all her things and said bye to my family . "It all feels like a dream Tuba . " I said hugging her . "Stay a little longer , please Tuba . " Amy said her eyes filling up . "Shh... thank Allah for giving us a chance to meet again . Now don't be emotional and spoil my make up , In Sha Allah I will be back soon . " she said hugging us both .
