Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

'what's nobody compares to u btw'.

'It's a song', I said.

She gave me a realization look. The Ohhhhhhhh ,one.

As I entered tooba quickly gave me a bear hug.

'Omg, u look soo pretty', she screamed.

So meet tooba, my best friend / cousin, the most embarrassing person but I really good friend of mine. Quit supportive but the type of a person who would embarass the heck out of u. we have been friends since forever. The good thing is that she knows me well, like nothing in my life is unknown to her, from my each and every hiccup and every shade of lipstick I owned and own and ofcourse all about the zain busisness. The bad thing or well change of words required, the not so good thing is that she knows me too well , like I cant hide anything , she gives me space but that is only because she knows the whole situation through my unspoken words.

P.S : she is the only human being in this whole universe who can manage to wake me up in the mornings without me hating and cursing her to death.

Any way back to reality. Mom hugged phuppo ( my dad's sister), Ali bhai's mom. Ali bhai was also near, and as soon as anika saw him, she lowered her gaze and slowly diverted it to me, I came closer and whispered,

'don't worry u will get the chance to gawk' and I winked at her. On my comment she rolled her eyes. Then tooba hugged her and there was this whole Desi greeting system. Every single person greeted the guests with a rather high enthusiasm. I went over and said my Salam to Ali bhai and my other relatives along the way.

' Did I do something wrong', he asked with an I-am-so-loosing-it expression.

'No its just that mom wants Her to keep distance', I said with my voice low.

His face eased and He gave me an Ohhh, look.

But he did went over then to greet her soon to be mother in law and said his Salam to her soon to be fiance. She blushed as usual. The dinner party kicked off and it had been almost tim for dinner. I told tooba about anika knowing about zayn.

She laughed and was like awww, sister hood.

Unfortunately this knuckle head does not have any siblings, and we'll me and anika were always her sisters.

Did u tell her about ur "how am I gonna react" theory, huh ,she asked wiggling her eyebrows at me.

I rolled my eyes at the question.

I feel mocked.

'Yeah I did after I was done freaking out about the bethroed shit', I said.

' Come on its just a rumor , chill ', she said. 'Btw, I mean just look at the love', she glanced her eyes sideways where anika was stuffed between Sanober phupo and my mom, while Ali bhai was having a conversation with Ayan, but was constantly stealing glances of her.

We both cooed. Right then the bell rang. Who could that be my sub conciousness questioned. All of our relatives were here. Everyone seemed confused. Right then I noticed ayans smirk. Hmmm. Something is fishy.

I'll get it , he said ,attending the unexpected visitors. And voices of 3 people came, a lady I suppose must be in her forties, a much aged, mature ,manly voice and a rather boyish voice. Everyone's face exploded with emotion the next moment when our mysterious guests were revealed.

The fuck

Eyes wide ,I stared at the smiling figure in front of my eyes

And that ladies and gentleman was the element of surprise .
