~IBTISAM~
We are running helter skelter in my room getting ready for the girls outing we're having with the girls. By we i mean kausar and i.
Khadee as promised planned a girls outing because of me. The day i asked her to come over to my place, she didn't get to come cause her mother was not in town so, she has to stay at home .
As promised she will make it up to me, she did mean it bcoz she had been calling regularly, texting almost all the time, sending me bouquet of flowers nd chocolate. Who knws dee to be this romantic
~me~
To knw that what she did isn't even a big deal but guess what!? Im the one making fuss out of it. I make the poor girl suffer for no reason, i can be african mom sometimes.
She has even went......
"WHERE DO YOU FREAKING KEPT THE MAKEUP KIT!!" Kausar interrupt my thought by an ear piercing yell.
"Check beneath the dressing mirrow" i glared at her for interrupting before replying.
...As i was saying, she has even went overboard by buying bouquet of flowers. like isn't that a duty of girlfriend or boyfriend when trying to get apology accepted?. Anyways i like her gesture....
"Where the hell did ur mind yode to!" Amani nudge me. How did she came in? By the door ofcourse!, So they've arrived but i haven't notice, typical me!
"Yo girls" the over hyping girls i called friends came in jubiliating, stoping me from replying. For what? That's for me to find out
........but i will make things right...
Spank!!
Darn! What the hell
"Kinyi banza damu koh(u ignoring us right)" iqraar
"Shehiya, what were you thinking abt" maheera added
"She's not ready yet!?" khadee whisper-yelled
"GET UR A** OUTTA HERE THIS INSTANT" and that's inteesar
I squeezed out my self from their covering and gently walked to kausar to stand behind her saying
"Aye aye! Y'll hovering over me yelling, can't u see me busy" i stated putting my lips into a pout
"Yh i can see u're busy thinking of rat killing a horse koh, busy my foot!" amani sarcastically added.

(P.s some part of the chapter will be in third person's pov)
❤❤❤
Ibti muttered a warreva before kausar shooed her away into the bathroom. The girls wondered at her silliness and all were wearing a sweet smile, amazed by their friend's silliness that made her loveable.
The girls were gisting amongst themselves waiting for HRH to arrive and made the journey to their outing.
While on the other hand, ibtisaam was having a muscle relaxing bath, while the water washed away all her overwhelmed self. Sighing, she was out with a towel wrapped on her body. Ignoring the girls, she went to the dressing mirrow and sat down and began moisturizing her body with a body lotion absentmindedly. Reminiscing old memories, as overwhelmed as she is, she calmed herself down and bit her lower lip hard then shut her eyes and suppress them hard to blink back the tears. All that, without the girls noticing. She doesn't like her emotional self but rather the jovial one. So, with that, she went to the closet to get what to wear again ignoring their intent stares. Her mind hoping no one saw what have come to pass, but had she known she was seen by two, she wouldn't have pretended.
The girls impatience was intensifying with each passing minutes. That had resulted in yelling her name all over again. Ibtisaam sighed, feeling her spirit down, walked to them slowly. By now, the rest have come to terms that something was amiss. So they all decided to lift her spirit up but that will be during their outing, and ofcourse with them pretending they didn't saw her.
"Anything miss?" Kausar finally determine to ask
"Yeah!" Many voices followed.
Suddenly, she start smiling like nothing happened
"Nothing. What do you see?" She is acting nonchalant. They didn't buy it but just go with the flow and shrug it off.
She's happy they didn't persist on the matter but get the message instead, she then proceeded to whirl and asked
"Does this dress fits me?" she asked.
That's when they notice her attire, she was wearing a lilac dress void of any pattern or design. Sown in a straight gown from inside with a kimono that looks like flay. The neck was in square shape with small stripes from the neckline. They all muttered masha Allah. Her smile grew wide,r satisfied with their reactions.
"Yo girl! You've hit it" khadee wooed
"Oh ya Allah, see this fine girl" amani awed,while Iqraar and Maheera too complimented
"Oya every single ass should be out, time is not by our side" kausar reminded them as they all started to did their last touch. Ibtisaam rolled her veil in a perfect hijab then took one mirrow selfie, seeing it was perfect, the girls joined and they took several pictures before biding ammie adieu and hit the road.
************
The girls first went to a spa, where they did many body treatment as spa, saloon, pedi&manicure, and the rest. Khadee and the rest decided to get their hands painted with black henna and the result was wow. Whereas, ibtisaam's mood was still down, refused to get her henna done till the girls became persistent and persuade her into contesting to their request.
The girls were glowing and looking so gorgeous that all eyes were on them and that's what make them feel uncomfortable like hey ppl, can't you lower your gaze, one view was enough but hey, your eyes will be following every motion of that person. The girls were all pissed.
Khadee was the one driving and ibtisaam was at the passengers seat, where the rest squeeze themselves at the back. The way they're groaning and scowling their faces into an ugly frown made ibtisaam roar in laughter. The girls were confused, again urging ibti to doubled up in feats of laughter. After sobering up, the girls asked
"What's funny??" They all chorus together
"Why all squeeze urself into the back seat while you can simply take another car, afterall we've insisted to take two cars but you kindly declined" said ibtisaam while giggling. The girls sighed, regretting not taking the car.
They just shrug and laugh it off.
Seeing the car silent, Ibtisaam plugged her phone to the speaker and connected it, the speaker starts blooming with the voice of johnny drille singing how are you(my friend).
The girls were singing happily and maiming to the tune
So padi no vex for me
Say i never call you since
But i hope that you're well
I hope you market sell
Everyday i dey pray for you
Make baba God bless you
I never forget
How i go forget you
See my shoulder
Make you rest upon me
U know i gat you
Na me be your friend indeed.....
Khadee plugged it off and the music disconnected.
"Do you have any place in mind" khadee smirked quite knowing she's the organizer
"Yeah. To underworld" answered kausar and the rest gasped.
"Get us back home since u have no place to take us" said iqraar clearly pissed off, the rest were just gaping at khadee, like why not ask us where we have in mind since she has no place at hand or even tell us to plan it(mind the sarcasm).
Ibtisaam was just opening & closing her mouth not expecting that.
"Hajiya park that car or you better take a turn to our house" inteesar said also pissed.
Khadee was just smilling sheepishly at them, wearing a smirk. With that she took a last turn to magic land which is located at central area.
They drove in and first went to buy ice creams, devouring it into their stomachs which cooled immediately when the ice and wall of the stomach met.
They were going round the place enjoying the now cold breeze of the evening making contact with their skins which make them shiver,gisting and taking many funny videos of kausar and Amani. The two cliche when they were first introduced by ibtisaam and surprisingly, they have same personality. They're always jovial and annoying at the same time.
Where maheera was the quite one, does not like talking much. And cute plus she's a sweet angel.
Inteesar was a beautiful girl and caring, she's hot tempered and uses curse words when angry. She's also a no-nonsense type, which ppl say she is mean, but she's a sweet girl when u get to knw her.
Iqraar was also a quite one that rarely speaks much but,a chatterbox when with her crazy friends, that's we!. She's also a very sweet girl.
While i and khadee are match made, we have many things in common and that's what made us more closer.
She's funny, im crazy
She's cheesy, im weird
She's sensitive and matured, while im also matured but for a meantime when I need to be.
This one make us hate our soft heart which is, we both are a people pleaser;kindness.
We would be offended and after our burst out, putting people in their places or snapping at them, we would be the same person feeling remorseful abt our act. Thats what i hate the most abt myself. Ammie always told me to keep up with that particular personality but God knows, even if i want to bin that character, i can't.
Presently, we were passing by
When iqraar suggested we ride a roller coaster. My body stiffened by the mention of that, am a scaredy cat, like really scaredy. Silently hoping in my mind for the gurls to protest but came none.
"Oh it's past 5, we should be back by now" i reminded hoping for that to slip off their mind.
They gasped by realizing time has passed and seeing the evening sun cast long shadows on the ground and the sky has a warm orange tinge on it.
"Lets ride it for once pls" amani whined.
"Stop being childish jareh!" I warned.
"We have to get going, it's dangerous for us to stay outside this late, plus the place we are is a amusement park" maheera reasoned. Finallyyy.
They all agreed to that and we load into the car and start our ride.
☘️
We dropped-by at Dominos and bought pizza and shawarma before driving to our house.
We were sprawled on the floor Turkish carpet in my room getting rid of our swollen legs. We were all knackered. The atmosphere in the room was blissful. The feeling of happiness when with loved ones circulated the room, we were catching up on our old memories when we were young teens. We were all elated.
I love it when am with the girls, and i wish time will stop for a stound for this moment to last, but unfortunately, they are to be home by now, i wish they will stay.
~ if only wishes were horses~mind
Khadee along with maheera and amani went together, she's going to drop them off. While inteesar and iqraar, their chauffeurs picked them. Kausar stayed back and am grateful for that. We both had a warm bath to relax our muscles then, hit the bed. Because of how knackered we were, kausar slept almost immediately when her head get in contact with the pillow. While I lay there gazing at nothing beyond optical recognition, then suddenly, something came up to my mind. As i recall that, i quickly jumped out of the bed and start going to and fro.
After what seems like a safaa and marwa( going to and fro in an pilgrimage act;tawaf), i plugged off my phone from its charger to ring off a person that came to my mind abt the matter at hand, but saw its too late to call. I decided to dwell on the matter the next day.
Having so decided, i went to the king sized bed where kausar was soundly sleeping to lay there.
Some minutes after, i've drifted to eesha land.
