Good? Great.

the wedding part 1

"MAMA WHERES MY OTHER GOLDEN SHOE?" I yell down the stairs, while holding one of my shoes.

"I ALREADY TOLD YOU, CHECK YOUR CLOSET!"

"MAMA ITS NOT IN THERE!"

"WALLAHI IM COMING UP THERE AND IF I FIND IT  IM THROWING YOU TO THE MOUNTAINS. TO THE MOUNTAINS ROMAISA!" She says while stomping up the stairs.

I roll my eyes at my moms exaggeration and smile knowingly when I know that she's not going to find it. If I can't find it how can she?

I follow her back to my bedroom and she heads towards my closet, muttering 'it's like she dosn't have eyes' to herself. I lean onto my table with a smirk and wait for her to come out empty handed....she comes out with my golden shoe. My mouth goes agape. How. The. Heck.

"Bu- but it wasn't there before!" I say stuttering a bit.

Mother glares at me and throws the shoe onto my bed. "Yeah I just made it appear with my motherly powers, I'm going to take you to the eye doctor tomorrow." She says while walking out the door.

That was actually black magic, I checked my closet (which isn't even that messy) four times and I couldn't find it. I stand there for a few seconds wondering how she did that before my cell phone started ringing. Quickly getting out of my daze I pick it up and say hello.

"Hey stupid, I need your help," I hear my so called friend say from the other side.

"hello to you too."

"What is it?" I ask curiously going over to my bed and placing both of my shoes there. Today was Shanzay's wedding and I had my whole outfit layed out on my bed. The beautiful red dress, the gold shoes and the gold hijab, with red pins that I thought I could style it into.

"I can't find my other shoe and my mom isn't here to use her magical mom powers." I smack my forehead.

"Bruh."

"What?! This is a crisis!"

"Ok ok, go ask your cousin or something I don't know."

"My cousin huh?"

"Yeah."

"Does my cousin have a name, cuz I actually have a lot an-"

"Shiza." I growl out.

"Yes?"

"Stop it."

"Ok ok, I'll stop. Hold on I'm walking towards his room right now," I roll my eyes and sit down on my spiny chair.

"Asher open the door!" I hear Shiza say, and once again I roll my eyes, I have so much better things to do right now, like get ready for the wedding. Or eat.

"It's a crisis though!" I roll my eyes again for the millionth time.

"I know your getting ready but you have to help me!" Eyes roll.

"Wallahi it is! Uh.. ROMAISAS DYING!" My phone drops to the ground as she screams that and I hold my ear in pain. Quickly picking it up I put it back on my other ear just in time to hear.

"Are you serious? What happened? Is she oka--" the voice of the male stops as I hear the familiar sound of Shiza cackling.

I growl into the phone and she says, "I'm sorry guys, sorry, this is just too fun!" With that I hear a door slam and my phone beep announcing the call ended.

That girl will be the death of me.

I shake my head and go to the washroom to take my long needed shower, I don't realize my cheeks are stained red from heat until I look in the mirror, what is this guy doing to me?

------

After my shower I have about an hour left to get ready. Shiza and 'her cousin' are coming to pick me up. Making sure my body and hair is all super dry I slip on my dress and tie it in the back, loving the way it looks, loose and modest. I put on tights but you can't see them because of the length of the dress, and I'm glad for that too because my leg has made several bumps under the leggings. Putting on my shoes and making sure my left foot stays inside it and won't slip out I head towards the mirror.

I wrap my golden hijab and style it up a bit but not too much. Back when I first started the hijab I'd always had it very sparkly and bright and with that awful camel hump. Why was I so attracted to that look, plus it wasn't the meaning of hijab at all. Soon I dressed in blacks, greys, or dark blues and I loved it. Right now the gold is not too shiny but not too dull either.

Adding a bit of make up I raise up my skirts and make my way downstairs. As soon as I get down I'm engulfed in a tight bear hug from Zackariyah. I grin down at him and say, "what's up buddy?"

"Romey! I missed you so much!"

I chuckle and say,"but why I live with you Zacky!"

"I just didn't see you at all today," he shrugs and I can't help but kiss his cute little cheeks,"where are you going?" He asks curiously.

"I'm going to a wedding, do I look good enough?" I ask twirling around a bit.

"You look beautiful!" He says while fiddling with his fingers. I can't help but sigh at his cuteness, alhamdullilah for an amazing brother. I hug him tightly and say, "jazakallah Zacky."

He grins and kisses my cheek before running off. I laugh shaking my head at him. Meeting my mom in the kitchen I kiss her on the cheek and say,"thanks for finding my shoe mama, with your powers." She looks back at me with a smile, then she gasps as she takes in my dress.

"That is beautiful mashallah, who made it again?"

"Shizas cousin." I say with a grin.

Her face morphs into surprise, "that boy that is so good looking?" I roll me eyes and nod. "Yes and they're picking me up right about- I get cut off by the sound of Shiza barging into my house and yelling, "come on Rome!" She comes into the kitchen and hugs my mom while saying salaam. Before we leave I kiss mamas cheek as she tells me to have fun.

Getting into the car I notice Asher's in the drivers seat wearing a grey suit similar but not really to the one the day before. He says salaam to me and I reply back before looking down and closing the door after me.

Well wedding here we come.
