Jamal's POV
"Are you even listening to me???" I felt the notepad hit me before I heard the words..

"Aww dad!!" I argued and he glared...

"I asked you a question but it seems like you haven't even been listening!" He growled and I couldn't help but roll my eyes..

"Dad I already told you! I don't want all that... i and Leila agreed on a SIMPLE lowkey wedding!.." I tried to explain for the.. I don't even know how many times...

"Nonsense! I am not going to settle for that! You are talking rubbish" he shrugged and continued speaking directly to the "planner" he had hired...

I looked over to Mahmud who is clearly enjoying this more than he should... because he is crossed legged on my office couch and passing on a very annoying sinister smile

"Help me out here..." I begged in hushed tones and he looked like he was thinking about it for a few seconds...

"Uncle Fahad... I think 400 guests are... too small.. don't you think? Considering the amount of dignitaries I can see on your list..." he said and my dad immediately crossed something... I'm gonna kill him

"Make it 600.." he stated and I didn't know when my head hit the table in defiance... well shit.

I decided to ignore all three of them and took out my phone... i scrolled to Leila's number... and my fingers lingered on her name....
I didn't see her in my office when I came in this morning... my coffee and files were already on the table... which meant she came a little earlier than our usual time ritual...
Is she avoiding me??

I sent her a text...
Father is trying to make this wedding a circus... HELP!
J.

And after 10 seconds.... my phone vibrated... I counted

Coming...
L.

I was about to ask what she meant when I heard a soft knock on the door and my heart beat went to 94..

Why it happens every time I see her... is beyond me.... and there's just something about her in white... it's refreshing

 it's refreshing

"Salam..." she muttered softly and went over to father and kissed him on the cheek... I suddenly felt sad that she didn't come to me first... wait what?

"Did he just call you in to talk me out of my preparations? If so... it's not gonna work!" Dad said sternly and she chuckled... is it only me or does her laugh sound really beautiful

"Come on Uncle Fahad... you know how I feel about crowded places.. I am the one that begged for a simple wedding... can you do that tiny favor for me?" She pouted and I could see how dad was about to fall for the trap.. hell even I fell for it
