Arfah POV
"I can't believe you went viral, my sister told me everyone at work was gushing about you guys being cute and all". Hidayah whined with a smile present on her face
"We didn't even know we were being recorded we just wanted to break the ice and be comfortable so we wouldn't be so tense"
"As if, you were all around my brother ewwe" hauwa commented a disgusted look on her face
"It was a refreshing sight though" bilkisu sighed
Our words were cut short when ya Aslam came in
"So mama said she needs you at Aunty Asma's by 4:15pm and not any later and don't make her say it again. She's just stressed with the whole issue as she has a lot to do so just be patient and do as she says" He says in his soft yet deep voice Before turning around to leave
Hidayah sigh "he's sooooo handsome"
Bilkisu who shook her head with a smirk replied with " i asked him out on a date and he said yes" i and Kulu all turned to look at her, mine more of surprise and hers jealousy
"You did what now?"
"Asked him out, kinda guilt tripped him into it. Told him it took a lot for me to come up to him and even though it hurt my pride I'd like to hang out one time and he said okay"
"You guys always got along well so I'm not surprised" hidayah replied with a smile
Hauwa on the other hand had a look on her face that I've never seen before, to say she was pissed would be an understatement
"Well looks like he'll get over his broken heart soon enough" I replied with a smirk
The others didn't say anything just started talking about something different, while hauwa still looked a bit out of it
Muayyad pov
Staring at the video before me I was tempted to smile, this is the perfect example of never judge a book by its cover. We look so in love but that wasn't the case, at least not for me.
Things were happening so fast, I didn't have time to mourn my broken heart. I wanted to see mufeedah but it was one thing after another and before I know it, time would pass by so fast and it was too late to call or text her. For the first time in almost a month I actually am having time to myself and I was finally calling her
"Hello" her stern voice answered the phone
"Hello fifi how are you?"
"I'm fine what can I do for you muayyad?"
"I'm sorry fifi I've been ridiculously busy and didn't have much time for myself"
"I see, you're busy taking pictures and videos so I guess it's justified"
I clench my teeth, the subject I was dreading was brought forth
"I didn't have a choice fifi"
"Of course you didn't, look I have to go I'm busy" she ended the call almost as if she was in a hurry
********
"So I settled on black after thinking for a bit, and regarding our honey moon I was thinking about going somewhere I've been to just so we won't be blind sighted and I'd serve as a guide for you that's okay or would you prefer to go somewhere we both haven't been to ?" Arfah stared at me waiting for an answer Which I wasn't even listening to so I gave an answer without even thinking twice
"Yeah that's fine with me" she let a big smile out with a nod
"Well that's that then, I don't have anymore question" she plays with the pen in her hand "unless there's something you want to ask me"
"Yeah so your bridesmaids I need a number, mama asked. Something that has to do with sitting arrangements and all" she nod thinking
"I have only six. Hidayah,bilkisu, my cousin nusaiba and Mimi, Mariya my friend from school and your sister. I don't want a lot cause that just unnecessary."
"Alright that's about it then, and please tell your mom that mama has been trying to reach her and she never get her on the phone"
"That's cause half of the time she leaves her phone upstairs and is busy doing something around the house. She's been so busy with everything going on" I hun knowing exactly what she's talking about, mama was the same
"So I talked to labib and he told me you're struggling with which color to get for your kaftan" I nod not wanting to elaborate on it
"I think you should choose either black,blue or grey cause they fit you so well" I raise my brow and eyes to look at her only to find her smirking at me biting her lip
"You're really shameless in every sense" she let out a laugh at my words, something tells me I'm in trouble with this girl
Arfah POV
I stare at Aunty asma who was looking over my face "you're good, it's not a pimple or anything stop being a drama quiet just a rash" I let a sigh of relief out, the last thing I need is pimples marring my face
"I wasn't being extra I just don't want anything on my face during my wedding, I just want everything to be perfect Aunty asma this thing happens once in a lifetime" she pat my head with a sad smile
"You remind me if someone I used to know, personality wise" i frown thinking
"Your mom" I almost choke staring at her
"You must be mistaken because my mom is a goody two shoes, no fun at all" she laughs shaking her head
"No that's not me, I would've been her favorite but we both know that ya Aslam " I mumble with a pout
She sigh eyes looking distant "she treats him that way because he reminds her so much of his dad, her first love. Your mom
Used to be so full of life and so naughty, we used to feel sorry for you guys knowing she would raise you with so much love but without a care of how things are. Life humbled her though, he took away what she loved the most in this world, I've never anyone in so much pain and that's saying a lot seeing i lost my parents but damn it still hurts me when I remember her face. She loved him so so much, when she chose to be with your dad that tore her apart. Part of her felt she was cheating on him, it it wasn't due Sagan and ashraf she wouldn't have accepted him the first place. Sometimes I dream about him, ya ashraf ."
"Yeah I know what you mean" both I and aunt asma were startled hearing mama speak, she walks and sit next to me with a wide smile on her face
