Amal

Dinner 1

**Amal's P.O.V**

"This dress would do" Aisha said trying to choose something good for me to wear.

I was waken up by my amazing friend (note the sarcasm ) from my sweet sleep dreaming of my prince charming and the water fight but it wasn't a water fight it was Aisha splashing water on me.

Abba called her and invited her to the dinner tonight saying that I won't be comfortable without someone to talk to and here she is disturbing my life on what to wear and my makeup.

"OMG it's already 6:30 and we're supposed to be there by 8, Amal come and sit let me do your makeup you are too slow and we don't have all day" She said as dramatic as she could be.

"I need no makeup just a lipbalm"I said making her shot me her famous "you're not serious" look

"Okay maybe a litter powder"I said quickly before she makes me wear heavy makeup but she still wasn't convinced so I let her put some eyeliner and mascara after alot of convincing that my dad would be happy if I present myself good blah blah.....

After arguing on what to wear we all agreed on my new black and white ankara skirt and blouse which Ya'Zainab bought me as a gift last month and was sewed 5 days ago. Talking of Ya'Zainab we've not talked for a long time now and she doesn't even know about my wedding.

It sounds so weird. My wedding. I can't believe it.

"Keh lets go I'm done" Aisha said frightening the he'll out of me.

I rapped a black veil with my black Mk bag and a black shoe before spraying my perfume and kumrah.

"Okay"I replied before following suit.

Abbah, Ummah and Haifa were already waiting for us outside.

"You look beautiful dear"Abba said smiling.

"Would you guys go with us or do you prefer going with your car?" He asked

Since I wasn't in the mood to drive we followed them.

We wear silent throughout the ride except for Haifa who kept singing while we chat through w******p with Aisha which we mostly do even at home if we don't feel like talking or we don't want anyone to hear our talk.

"Hey we're here" Aisha said but I continued reading Change of Heart on w*****d. This is the 4th time I'm reading the book but it's still interesting even though I wasn't reading I just pretended like so that no tear comes out of my eyes.

"Amal!" Abba called or let me say warned.

"Na'am(yes)" I answered with my head still down.

"Come down lets go and please be on your best behaviour don't let the tears deceive you okay?"he asked

"Okay"I said faking a smile before hopping down. The house is what they call Aljannar Duniya

(world paradise). It has a very big compound with a fountain at the center. In it water pouring from the mouth of a sculpted dolphin which stood on a stone and they were flowers around the fountain with carpet grass on the ground were the fountain was. They were trees around the house making the view really nice and sight catching. They are packing lots in front of a very huge mansion which has a huge door. I didn't move an inch I was just admiring the house I love nature and this house is the exact definition of nature with trees surrounding it and flowers everywhere.

Alhaji Alhussain Kazaure and his wife Hajiya Aisha came out to welcome us with a welcoming smile as they heard the sound of our car pulled up.

Alhaji Alhussain hugged Abba immediately he came out of the car then we all greeted him before I turned to greet Hajiya Aisha.

"Good evening Aunt" I said but was taken off gaurd as she pulled me into warm hug.

"Masha Allah you have turned into your mother soo beautiful and respectful. You can call me Ummiey"she said breaking the hug which made me nod shyly.

She Hugged Ummah, Aisha and Haifa while I went to greet Alhaji Alhussain at the other side of the car.

"Good evening Uncle" I greeted

"Oooh Masha Allah you're all grown up. See how you've turned into a beautiful lady when I last saw you you were just 8" He said making me blush in embarrassment.

"Let's get inside I don't want you catching cold" Hajiya Aisha or rather Ummiey said saving me from being more embarrassed.

Abba and Uncle(Alhaji Alhussain) went to the other sitting room while we sat at the main sitting room with Ummiey.

"Fatiyyah"Ummiey called before a beautiful lady around my age came downstairs the stairs. She greeted Ummiey and hugged me and Aisha.

"OMG you're so beautiful"she said. Hhmm another drama queen I guess. "You didn't see yourself" I wanted to say but instead just smiled and mouthed a thank you.

"Awwn you're shy"she teased which earned her a glare from Ummiey.

"Fatiyyah live her alone"Ummiey said but Fatiyyah sat near me and kept asking me questions like where do you school and the rest but truly I like her she's so nice.

Ummiey went out which made Fatiyyah more excited and free to talk and complement me.

"Let's go and eat they've finished setting the table" Ummiey said as she came in.

"Fatiyyah go and call your brothers" she said and held my hand leading us to the dinning room where Abba and Alhaji were already seated.

We all joined them and later on Fatiyyah came back.

"Where are they"Ummiey asked referring to her brothers which I don't want to see on of them.

"Ya Sadiq is coming while Ya Salim just came back from a friend's dinner he said he'll be right here in 10 minutes" Fatiyyah replied making me pray he doesn't come.

"Are you scared?"Aisha who sat near me whispered.

"No" I said in a whisper.

"Salamu Alaikum" I heard a male voice.

"Good evening" He greeted everyone the sat opposite me.

"Hey Matar yaya" he said making me breath out the air I wasn't aware of holding before smiling at him.

"Salamu Alaikum, sorry for coming late" a certain voice that made shivers run down my body said. He greeted everyone and sat on the sit besides me. His scent filled my nose and was giving me goose bumps. I desperately want to see his face but couldn't raise my head for no reason.

Maybe I'm scared

-I

I sent Aisha a message and not a minute after she replied.

Why?

-Isha

I don't know just can't breath properly.

-I

Please don't be just be your self Okay?

-Isha

Okay

-I

I replied before raising my head to see everyone, they were all serving themselves and some were eating and I'm here with no appetite.

"Amal serve yourself or do you want me to serve you?" Ummiey asked softly making everyone one's attention on me.

"Oh n..no I..I'll serve myself" I stammered. Great just great I've totally embarrassed myself.

I served my self a little of the rice before putting the the kidney sauce just my favourite and then poured some water in my cup before finally turning to see my fiance.

And my heart skipped a bit.
