Imagination #2

Sunday 7:00 am

'Beta, get up. You have guests coming.' shouted my mom from the kitchen. She was so busy preparing her stuff that she didn't even bother to personally wake me up. Well, it's not her fault. We really had some very important guests to welcome.

I hated getting up early on weekends. But this time, it was different. 'I have to look my best today' I said to myself. I quickly went to the bath and took 1/4th time of my normal time to come out. There was lot to be done and I was already running out of time.

I picked up a full length anarkali suit that I had bought last month via eBay. It had an usual combination of sky blue and cotton white. It was simple and elegant. Moreover my mom thought it looked pretty on me.

My sis got my hair done. I had been searching for beautiful hairstyles since a week and finally found it on a YouTube channel. (I owe my life to the internet.! )She pulled all of my hair on one side, and tied it all into a messy bun. My side bangs matched perfectly with it. 

Then it was my makeup's turn.. Didn't wanted to look like a zombie so went on with the the lighter combination.There was more of pink and brown than any other shade. I applied eye liner on the upper lid. Light peach on my lips and I was done.

My mom finally managed time to check on me. She came in and stared without uttering anything. 

'Mom?' I tried to bring her back to her senses.

'You look..' she didn't say anything for a while. 'Who did your hairstyle?'

'Simar did'

'It's good. Come out to the kitchen. They'll be here anytime.'

'Ok mom'

It was only, so that they have a good impression about me. So that mom could get this sentence told, 'lijiye, meri beti ne banaya hai' :P (my daughter prepared these)

You would have guessed it by now. 

Yes!  I had a marriage proposal coming through. Simar had seen the guy. And I don't know what do I call this but I missed the chance to see him coz of some format problem.

*Beep* *Beep* A car stopped by our house. I went to the kitchen window to get a look. Maaannn..!! It looked gorgeous.. I don't know what model that was. But I just wanted to go and kiss it. It was so damn good..shifting away my focus from the car, I tried to look for some guy. Some handsome guy actually. I saw two oldies coming out and then mom told me to arrange the things. I hate it when somebody interrupts me but..I had to miss this chance. Anyway, I was going to be presented before him in some moments.

I gave a final check to my look. 

'Neat, simple, confident,.. Perfect' I gave me, the final count.

'Asiya, bring some snacks for the guests.' my mom called me out.

'So, finally... Just be calm. This is it now.. Fhhuu.. ' I took a deep breathe and went through the hall.

I kept my gaze lower as they expected me to do. It was considered as a sign of a well mannered girl. Inside me, a voice shouted to look up and search for the guy. 'Asiya, just look staright. You got to see him. Oh please. Look up'

Mom offered me a seat next to her. I knew I was sitting straight in front of him.

He was wearing loafers rather than formals. This showed he had his own style and didn't wanted to be someone else. Usually guys tend to change to impress. But he.. I thought had a taste of his own. This was the time when I was getting automatic positive thoughts about him. Coz I just wanted him to be good in all aspects. So then. I decided to have a look.

Not that fair, has good hands. And up. Beard. 'oh, he got to look awesome..' and up.. And...!!!!!

I stood straight.! 'Ru.. Ruh.. Ruhan..?... You?'

Everyone else stood in astonishment. 'Hi Asiya.. 'He said with a chuckle as if he was sure of that surprised look. 

'Goshhh..' I held my hand against my mouth and went in as soon as I could.......
