Destined To Be (Ongoing)

chapter 3

Soon the function began and guests started pouring in.
Shanzay, ayesha and layla were by my side the whole time wearing matching orange outfits. They were my bridesmaids and I loved them.

After the function was over, we were all too tired.
My back was giving me hell.
Sitting for 3 hours straight does cost you something, I guess.

It was about past midnight. I came to the balcony for some fresh air.
I was still in my haldi outfit as I was to wear it till tomorrow that is till my wedding. Stupid traditions.

Shanzay and ayesha were looking at today's pictures. Layla was chatting with mom downstairs. God I love that girl and my mom does too.

I was standing on the balcony and the admiring the beauty of the silent Night when I saw my brother standing downstairs with some of his friends. They were all helping him out with the wedding preparations as they all treated me like their own elder sister. Although I was only a year older than them.

"Hey ahmed!! Could you get me a big tub of chocolate ice cream please. "
I shouted to my brother. He turned and looked agitated...
"What hoori!! At this time?? Seriously? "
But he knew very well that I'd torture him with my "I'm getting married tomorrow 😭😭.. Can't you this much for me?? " Act... So he sighed and nodded..

"Come on man, let's get my sister a goodbye treat. "
He said to his friend whose back was towards me , but I knew who he was.

Haaris... My brother's college friend. He lived in our city but recently moved to shimla as he got a job there.

Allah, how I wish I would live there. I always had a thing for hill stations., away from all the hustle and bustle.

But as luck would have it, I was moving to Delhi, a city which I hated.
But Allah's wish.

I turned and joined shanzay and ayesha.

After an hour or so, ahmed finally came with my ice cream. Ayesha was asleep by then. Shanzay, me and layla were waiting for them.

"Took you long enough"
I said rolling my eyes and snatching my ice cream from his hands.

"Have you seen the time hoori?? "
Ahmed sighed, running his hand through his hair.

Let me tell you, my brother was perfect. He was tall, fair and perfect features.
I personally think if he'd be a girl he'd be prettier than me.

He glanced at layla who was standing beside me. She instantly looked down.
I noticed something between them, but I dismissed it.
This was not the time to play cupid, so I decided to leave it for later.

I cleared my throat..
"Ahm.. Ahm.. Come layla, let's get inside"
I said wth a mischievous glint in my eyes.
It was then that I noticed that haaris was also standing with Ahmed.

I smiled at him which he returned.

We got inside and without any further delay dug straight into the tub.
It was choco chips, my favorite.

"Hey hoori!! Don't you think haaris is hot?? " Shanzay asked wiggling her eyebrows.

"Ewww... That's disgusting.. He's like my younger brother as he is my brother's friend. "
I said scrunching up my nose.

Shanzay slapped her hand on her forehead.
"Ya Allah!!! You idiot.. I was asking for me. "

Layla laughed.

"Well... Let's see.. He's tall.. About 6 feet, has a nice face.. But I don't think he's hot. He's kinda cute though. "
I said thinking.

"Well.. I think he's hot.. Have you seen his hair?? So silky you just want to run your hands through them.. His perfect beard, not too long, just perfect.. His deep eyes, you could just get lost.. And.... " Shanzay started rambling.

"Ok.. Ok.. Stop it.. I get it. You like him. I'll see what I can do. " I said trying to shut her up.

Shanzay giggled and thus we spent the night talking and giggling.

I don't know at what time we fell asleep.

But I was startled and woke up as I heard a noise coming from the balcony.

A/N: so who's this mysterious person in hoorain's balcony???
