"Zara please come here and tell your mum these colours don't match" my brother's soon to be mother in law, Auntie Hifsah shouts from the other room
I sigh and get up off my seat for the twentieth time today
"Yes?" I ask politely but really I just want to sit down

Tonight was the dholki which is why my mum was stressing about the decorations.
"Do you prefer the gold and white or the gold and blue?" My mum asks holding up the two colours along with the gold

I think about it for a second
"I'd say the gold and white" I reply and Auntie Hifsah smiles, "only because it's much more classy"
"Your daughter has good taste mashallah" I hear Auntie Hifsah comment as I'm walking away

I get back to my seat to see several messages from Harris,

Heyyyy
How did you sleep?
What you up to today?

I smiled slightly at the second message

Heyyyy
I slept well thank you for asking❤️
Nothing much just sorting out deco for dholki night what about you x

Kaisar came downstairs and plopped himself down next to me
"Oi" he kicks me and I whine at him
"What" I pout like a 6 year old girl
"Are you vlogging my wedding?" He asks
"Actually I don't know" I reply turning towards him, "do you want me to?"
"Whatever" he shrugs, "I was just saying cause you haven't made a video since before the awards ceremony"
"Awwww do you watch my videos" I gush and he makes a face at me before kicking me again
"Let me go get my camera" I say getting up remembering I had brought it in case I wanted to take pictures

I come back downstairs with my camera in my hand, which luckily, is charged
"Hey guysssssss, it's been a whilst hasn't it? It's been a while" I say nodding my head, "first of all I hope you're all doing amazing because I am having the time of my life. Right now I'm at my parents house because guess who's getting marrieddddd"

I squeal turning the camera over to Kasiar
"Move" he replied shoving the camera out of his face and I laugh moving it back to my face
"Who by the way is very evidently ecstatic about that" I say sarcastically

"Zaraaaa" I hear my name being called again and I roll my eyes
I turn my camera off and drag myself to the room my mum is sitting in
"Can you go pick up Auntie Faizah from her house?" She asks sweetly
"Hamza has a car?" I reply referring to her son
"His car is at the garage and she needs you to bring her, Hamza, Sana and Aisha"
"When do they need picking up" I groan, clearly not happy about the situation
"In half an hour" she replies before getting back to the decorations

I run upstairs and get changed into anything other than my nighties and decide against makeup because I'll be getting ready for the dholki soon enough
I wrap a random hijab around my head and grab my car keys before running out the door
Just as I get into my car, Auntie Faizah rings me
"Salaam auntie"
"Salaam Zara, are you on your way?"
"Yeah I'm just leaving now I'll let you know when I'm there"
"Okay see you later"
"Bye"

She doesn't live far from my parents house so I'm there in ten minutes. As I pull up in front of her house, I seen a young man, about 22 ish, stood in front of the front door, smoking

He slowly makes his way over and I recognise him as Hamza once he's close enough
"Oh hi" I greet with a small smile
"What do you want" he grunts
I raise an eyebrow, "I'm here to pick you up actually"
"Since when did you drive a Range Rover"
"Since when has that got anything to do with you" I retort and he smirks

I hear the front door open and Auntie walks out with her two younger children behind her.
"Hamza lock the door" she calls and he turns on his heel to lock the door
They all pile into the car and I chuckle as Hamza tries to shove his long legs into the back
"Ammi can you move your chair forward" he grumbles and she sighs before moving forward yet he's still squashed

"Your car is tiny" he complains
"Your legs are too long that's what it is" I reply turning out of their street
"Mashallah Zara you're so pretty" Auntie Faizah complements me and I blush
"Thank you so are you"
She chuckles as if she doesn't believe me

Once we get to my house I wait for them all to get out the car before locking it and walking into my house. However I don't miss the eye Hamza was giving me which I didn't completely understand.
