The auditorium became dark, all the lights were on stage. The event officially started. Everyone shifted their attention on stage.
Arbaz's attention was caught by Kifayat as soon as she entered the stage. She wore a long red dress
The long hair was tied into a ball. She was already pretty, and after wearing stage makeup today, she looked even more stunning. Especially she arched her eyebrows and smiled, she looked like an fallen angel.
When she looked over the stage, Arbaz felt his breathing paused for a moment. "Good morning everyone. Welcome to our School's annual cultural programme of talent, joy and wonder. Today I am going to be your host together with," Kifayat looked at Ishan who was her co-host and Ishan continued the rest.
"And I am Ishan and together we promise that you are going to enjoy an unforgettable show today."
After the opening speech given by the principal and other distinguish guest. The performance finally began. All the act was performed seamlessly. Kifayat and Ishan introduced one performance after another with grace like a real host. They had a great chemistry on stage which made Arbaz a little jealous. More than anything he was eagerly waiting for the end of the performance to see her again.
After hosting half of the event, Kifayat went backstage to prepare for her performance. Arbaz asked Saif, why did the host change?
"I heard Senior sister is going to perform a drama."
"Then I look forward to her performance."
In the dressing room, Kifayat soon changed into her princely attire and wore a wig to hide her long hair. Her make was changed to make her look more manly.
Saba came from the dressing room after wearing her maid dress. Looking at Kifayat, she was stunned. "Who is this boy? How came I have never seen such a handsome boy in our school before."
"Stop exaggerating. You look more beautiful, princess."
Cyra said to Kifayat, "Really, you are so beautiful Kifayat, If you were a boy I will definitely chase you to be my boyfriend."
Her friends kept complimenting about how good looking she looks with this. Feeling embarrassed, Kifayat adjusted her velvet cape. She wondered why did she get into these trouble.
After a while, listening to the announcement, Lia came back running."Are you ready guys? We are next." Even when in a hurry, Lia did not forget to praise Kifayat. "You look like an idol. If you were a star, I would definitely chase you." And blew a kiss to her. Kifayat rolled her eyes.
"Saba, are you ready? Don't be nervous. And after the first part hurry back to change."
"I am ready for now."
The curtain rose, revealing the stage. Soon the act began.
The first seen where the Cinderella was tormented by her evil stepmother and her step sisters to the entry of the fairy grandmother. Everything was going very smoothly.
Saba hurriedly went to backstage to change into the gown. As she was about to change her shoes, Lia kept telling her to hurry up. Saba was pissed off. "I am already fast. Stop babbling." At that moment, Cyra came, "What happened to your hair?" "I was just scratching a little, so it was loose."
"You! Come here, I will adjust it." After adjusting the hair, Cyra urged her to go.
Saba left to the stage. Kifayat also entered the stage. The whole audience gasped as she stepped forward, wondering who is this good looking boy.
Cyra said to Lia, "Everyone is amazed by our prince."
"Yes." Before the two of them could enjoy the performance, Luna came to them, "Why are the shoes still here? Should not it be on Saba's feet?"
Cyra and Lia looked at stage, " Oh God, This girl!!!!!!She left without wearing the shoes."
"What should we do now? How is the prince going to find her without the shoes?"
Cyra comforted Lia, "It's okay, the prince will find her with the sneakers."
"Is that okay!?"
"Why not? There is no such script that the Cinderella must wear glass slippers. She can wear sneakers too."
"Yeah. There is nothing wrong with it." They looked at Luna hoping to approve their thoughts.
Luna stared at them dumbfoundedly. "Ah? Maybe."
Sitting in the audience, Zarin's eyes got bigger as he stared at her sister on stage. "Mom, sister has became a brother." Kifayat's mother laughed. "Haha, it looks like I have two sons now."
Arbaz at first thought, Kifayat was going to play the Cinderella but after watching that Cinderella was someone else, even step sisters role was not played by Kifayat.
He came into conclusion that Kifayat may be playing the role of a passerby. He was still looking forward to her appearance. Even a few minutes ago, she was a charming girl like a princess. Now she has become a prince.
Everyone whispered, "Wow, A female prince, it's really unexpected. But she looks so handsome."
