Will they work...
Leila's POV "Here..." i felt my mom's hands on my shoulder... she was handing me a little blue box... it looked old... vintage, like it had existed for a very long time.
"It was your dad's... and I think he wanted you to have it on this special day..." she smiled... but I could see the tear she was fighting ..
I opened the box with trembling hands... the thought of my father always broke me down... I miss him so much I try to not think about it... because it only hurt me more, It was a watch... a pocket watch... And a small note..
Once in a lifetime...you meet someone who changes everything... I hope you found someone that loves you as much as I did... No measure of time would have prepared me to see you open this new chapter of yours... but I love you forever.
Dad...

I felt numb... I felt pain... I felt sad...
I read the words over and over again... Everytime I read it... I just felt worse.
I was getting married for the wrong reasons.. I didn't deserve these beautiful words... I didn't deserve it
I was crying... I didn't know when she sat next to me... she didn't say anything, She just held me as I cried... I let out my frustration and sadness...
"It's gonna be okay... he's always here with us, I know he is smiling down at us now... he will be so proud of the beautiful woman you have become." Mama whispered and I knew she was fighting back her own tears...
Nini walked in and gave me a sad smile... After was felt like a long time... she finally broke the silence
"Okay let's wipe those tears and hope the makeup artist will do magic on that puffy weird face of yours.." she joked lightly and i smiled
"I will leave you two to it then... the guests downstairs must be waiting.." mama kissed me on the forehead and walked out...
I could hear the circus of women downstairs... laughing and cheering, the men had gone to the mosque for the wedding Fatiha... and to say I am shaking is an understatement
"Can't believe you are about to become a Mrs." Nini said excitedly
"Way to go Nini... I was already freaking out!" I scolded
"Oh stop it! You're gonna make a beautiful bride!" The makeup artist assured as she started prepping my face.
I try to close my eyes and relax as she did the needful... while Nini distracted me with so many conversations as she packed my boxes. I didn't want to ponder on the fact that I wasn't gonna sleep in my room today... if I started over thinking it.. I'd start shaking... and the makeup artist wouldn't like that.
