chapter 4: look, Who's home!
I wasn't the very bold type of girl who would reply back, fight and win. I was me, whenever I used to see trouble I would just go away. As much as I was shuddered and taken aback, I didn't want this incident to ruin my perfect day.
After about an Half an hour, I was finally done with the formal procedures and went to khatija who was waiting for me in the canteen.
"what took you so long?" she asked me clearly bored
'it was long queue, had to wait" I told
I didnt tell khatija about Caroline, it was pointless I would just get lectures on how I should reply back and stand up for myself
It took as 20 minutes to reach back, I rung the door bell.
Mom opened the door, just like any other classical mom she was seeming exhausted by working in kitchen
"Assalamalikum mom, i got accepted"I said happily
"Walaikumsalam, Allhamdulilah! ma sha Allah that's a great news!!" she said looking joyful.
"oh by the way, Aaira and khatija..dress up we have guests coming" she said busy cutting a tomato.
"which guests?" I said whilst drinking water
" Mrs shaziya and obviously her family" she said continuing her work
"who Mrs shaziya? " I said as I took another sip of water
"you don't know Mrs shaziya? shahid's mom!?"
I literally spat out ample of water from my mouth
Mom stopped her cutting and turned to me in complete shock.
"why? whats wrong?" she asked
"umm nothing l-lol" I said stammering
I hurriedly ran to my room and shut the door
omg. omg. omg.
I could literally hear my heart beat. As happy as I was that he's coming but I was far more nervous than being happy.
"what should I wear?" omgggggg I was literally squealing.
"Should I tell about this to khatija?" I thought
"Absolutely no. she will tease me to death. bad idea, never. "
I heard a knock on door. "Whoz it?" I roared
"why are you shouting?" mom asked annoyed
"oops sorry mum I thought it was khatija" I said sheepishly
"khatija is a lot elder to you, it's high time you should respect her, atleast little" mom said
"Yeh, sorry" I told rolling my eyes.
"anyway I just came to tell you that Mrs shaziya would be here any minute now, she had called to ask the address and she told she's at the turn. So, better get ready soon" mom said in a monotonous tone
eep. "okay mom" I managed to say.
I ran to my washroom. it was a simple one, with white tiles and a huge basin.
I quickly ran in and spat water on my face, took out my face wash and applied on my face and then I rinsed it in a minute. I looked at myself in the mirror, it was surrounded by bulbs all around it.
I could see my skin glowing slightly and my fringes wet with water. I was looking quite presentable, if I say modestly. Otherwise I was looking gorgeous.
I came out from the washroom and dashed towards the cupboard. I opened it and removed one of the dresses I absolutely loved.
It was a blue colour long top with white polka dots and a white tight. I took out my dark blue coloured hijab and threw all up on the bed.
I quickly undressed myself, and wore the top and the tights. I then quickly tight my hair in a bun and wore the hijab.
I ran to the room mirror and saw if I was looking modest enough or not. I then dapped a little moisturiser and applied pink coloured gloss , little kajal and eyeliner.
I was all ready, at the end I sprayed a little of Victoria's secret perfume.
I heard the door bell.
"answer it Aaira" mom shouted from other room
"why can't khatija?" I shouted back
"done argue" mom replied
"ok" I said with poker face
I unlocked the door and ran towards the main door.
"I'm coming" I shouted at the third bell.
I ran and opened the door.
*Thud* *thud* *thud* my heart literally was making that sound so loud that I was afraid the person infront of me could hear.
"Assalamalikum" Shahid told.
