Saturday came faster than I wanted it to. I am so nervous about meeting Mr. Federico later today. I have just finished praying Asr; I made sure to make a lot of duas for tonight to go well.
"Babe, you need to take a chill pill. Everything is going to be fine tonight. I am sure Ethan's dad is going to love you," Khloe says while sitting on my bed.
"I wish I could calm down, but right now, that is going to be very difficult. I can't even remember where I kept the outfit I chose for tonight," I say searching through my luggage and my closet.
"You won't find them there because you kept them in my closet. I never thought I would see this day. "
"That's correct, but I forgot, and what exactly do you mean?" I say walking over to her room to get my clothes
"I mean, I never thought I would see the day you would meet the father of the man you are dating. The fact that you are dating is so surreal and, to top it off, Ethan is the guy you are dating. Never in my whole life did I see that coming. "
"I know, right? Who would have thought I'd ever like Ethan, let alone date him?" Sometimes I feel like it's a dream. I don't know if to say if it's a bad or good one, but it feels like a dream. "
"It's a good dream because I've seen you on your happiest days since you started dating Ethan."
"You feel so," I say, smiling, actually surprised at that fact.
"I know that, and I am happy for you."
"Thank you."
"You are welcome."
Khloe helps me with my makeup and ties my turban. It's funny how Khloe, who hardly ties a turban, knows how to tie it better than I do. She did simple makeup for me. I am wearing a silk tile green wrap dress with ruffles at the bottom and a white scarf for my turban. I picked out a pair of silver sandals, diamond stud earrings with a couple of silver bracelets and a small black bag to finish my look. I hope I look presentable enough for Ethan's dad to approve of our relationship.
Ethan just picked me up a few minutes ago, and my hands haven't stopped shaking the entire ride. I am deep in my thoughts when I feel something warm touch my hands.
"Adina, I know I shouldn't be touching you, but I had to so you could calm down," Ethan says, placing his warm hands around my trembling ones. They stop shaking once the warmth from his hands fills me up. It amazes me how such a small thing can cause such a significant effect on me.
"Everything is going to be fine, trust me," Ethan says, staring into my dark brown eyes with those beautiful grey eyes of his.
"I do, let's go," I say, taking a deep breath before walking out of the car.
Ethan and I step out of the car and walk to the front door of this beautiful mansion he has brought us to. He parked his car in the front yard. There are beautiful flowers all around, and a water fountain in the middle. I wonder why we did not go to the same house we had his sisters birthday party. Maybe that was his grandparents' house because they were present during the party. The front door opens, revealing a lady who I would guess is a maid due to her attire. She appeared to be a few years my senior.
"Good evening Ethan, everyone is waiting for you in the living room," The young lady says with a soft smile on her face.
"Thank you, Alice," Ethan says, stepping into the house with me following behind him.
The foyer is a beauty, with white adorning all the walls, and a crystal chandelier in the middle. There are two stairways with black bannisters leading up. Ethan walks towards the left and stops at the entrance of the living room. The living room is painted white with cream couches, and there are three people seated already, but I only recognise one person.
