salaam people! I am back again with another chapter! ;) 

N'Joy!

++++++++++++++

'Ammi, is there any funtion here?" I asked ammi

It was quite a hassle lately and usually its during functions amd all. 

Ammi gulped down her water and answered. 

"Yes Kaif,  today uh....  Rahaa is getting married" she said looking at me

Rahaa was getting married?  ALHAMDULILLAH!  No really,  thank you allah she is getting married! 

Let me tell you about her. 

Rahaa was-

"Whose Rahaa?" asked Hasti looking up from her food

Zaki chuckled.

"Rahaa was Kaifs lovvee!!!" said Zaki

Hasti chocked on her food

What is up with her?

"Woah calm down Queen!" I said to her giving her a glass of water. 

Ammi and Zaki threw me looks that said 'Weird'

"Nothing like that! She was crazzy for me and I was not so eventually she us getting married,  end of story!" I explained. 

Somehow I needed to explain to her but why?
I shook away th thoughts and quietly ate my rice and chicken made my ammi. 

"So ammi, are we going there?" asked zaki

"Yes dear, we have too, its a community function!" replied ammi

That's the thing about this neighbourhood. Any function, from newyear to christmas, from hindus funtion or muslims, everone must visit each others place and the grand funtion is usually at the community hall. 

"Where is the funciton?" I asked ammi

"Community hall at 6pm! but we need to go early, we have to help" said ammi

I nodded. 

It was not snowing anymore and I guess the couple wanted a winter wedding

soon after we had done with lunch, I was up in my study to finish off the work.

Hmmmmm, lets see, that figure is wrong, my company does not do 5% profit for a month! Its too less! 

"Masi, not that! You look-" screamed Hasti laughing

"Stop laughing! i look okay!" said ammi

Why were they literally screaming and talking?

THey quitened down abit and i concentrated in my work but all too soon their voices started getting louder again. 

I sighed and got up. 

They had to keep quite!

"Bhai, they need to keep quite!" semi yelled Zaki from the door 

I walked out of the study that was on the second floor and jogged downstairs. 

"Ammi, Hasti please-" Is aid looking up to them. The sight infront of me made me wanna die then and there. 

There was clothes all over ammi's room and Hasti was standing in the middle of it grinning. 

"Hasti what the hack are you doing?" I asked her and she grinned even more

'Hasti hows this?" asked ammi coming out of her curtain thingi that was never in her room before. 

She had her hands up and walked out like a modal. Don't judge me, my ammi is actually like a modal, fit and pretty but she was literaly not one and I never saw her do these things before!

'Nice masi!" she said smiling calling my mom, aunt!

My ammi smiled at her and went back in the curtain thingi without even looking at me! 

"What is going on?" I asked Hasti

"Picking an outfit for tonight!" she replied

"Ahh... last time I checked, my ammi just wore what she liked in minutes so whats with picking up outfits for this wedding?" I asked her

"Coz we are going as a family and you can do that least to make her happy!" she said smiling at me

Yeah I always wanna see ammi happy...

'So-" she clapsed her hands together. "Lets get started!" 

"Wait, I have to be-" I said to her and she nodded 

"ZAAKIII" she yelled and soon Zaki came in running

"What-who is hurt?" he asked paranoid

"Come on, we choosing outfits for ammi!" said Hasti smiling at him

hmm..... i like it when she calls my ammi, ammi. 

"So hows this?" asked ammi coming out of the curtains. She was wearing a long blue and black dress that I got her on her birthday this year with the same colored hijab on her head. It did not bother her to be without hijaab around Hasti as she was a girl, and zaki and I were her sons so it was okay. Hasti thou had on her hijab. 

"Nice, but too dark!" said Zaki and Hasti nodded smiling. 

she actually had dimples when she smiled! Damn i am not even that lucky to have dimples. 

"Kaif, Kaif!" said ammi getting my attention

I looked at her and she smirked

"What do you think?" she said 

"Uh... its nice but i think too dark as well!" I said and she smiled 

She again walked out wearing a red dress, floor length and so pretty masha allah that she did not seem like she had two young sons! 

"Nope!' sad Hasti

"Why not?" I asked her 

I liked this dress! 

"See-" said hasti getting up. She walked to ammi and clicked her photo. 

She then showed ammi the photo and ammi frowned. 

she showed Zaki the photo and he frowned too. She handed me the mobile and the photo I saw was... not good. It was all blurry and scratched. 

"The work on it suits day functions not night!" siad hasti

"Did you do a designer course?" asked Zaki

she laughed. Her laughter filling the whole room. 

An unfamiliar emotion went down my spine and errupted in my chest. 

What-was-that?

"No.... back in India I was the Queen's dress advisor so yeah.." she said

'Wait a minute- Queens?" i asked her

"Yeah, the queen of my house, usually it backfired so yeah.. okay back to work" she said looking at ammi

"Next?" asked Zaki

"There is no next!" she replied 

Hast burst out laughing and I grinned. 

"Then just go shopping!" said Zaki 

"Good idea, get ready we going shopping!" said ammi 

"Wait- we barely have 5 hours for wedding and you want to go shopping?" I asked ammi

"Yeah so? We will make it on time!" she replied 

i could not argue. 

She took her purse, credit card and Hasti and walked out. 

"so its just us two?" said Zaki

"Not just you two, get ready, we will meet you both there!" yelled ammi before closing the door. 

Great. 

+++++++++

Hours later, we were standing at the gates of the hall. It had stopped snowing and the roads were pretty clear. 

"salaam, Kaif sahab!" said Mr. Aggarwal walking towards me adressing me as sir. 

'Wa alaikum mus salaam, sir! How are you?" I asked him shaking his hand

"Alhamdulillah good!" he said "I see Zakarya sir is also here!" 

Zaki shook hand with him and soon people came, met us and walked in. 

The whole thing was themed in winter, blue, white and purple. Pretty. 

The halls had tables and lightings and flowers. pretty site masha allah. 

Soon everyone started coming in. 

"Kaif?" said Risha aunty. she was Rahaa's mother. 

"Adaab aunty!" i said to her

she smiled and replied "Adaab dear!" 

"Yes aunty?" I said to her

"Oh right, Kaif, can you please, please guide the guests in?" she asked me

"Sure!" I said 

She grinned and walked away. Guess everyones busy with the wedding. 

"Mr. Shahaan!" said Mr. Derrel. 
I shook hands and guided him and his family inside. 

It was a mixed gathering as Rahaa was sikh. yeah.. wondering why they greeted me that way? Well Adaab is a gretting to anyone of any religion and as I have said, here people keep in mind other peoples religion and culture thats why we have a loving neighbourhood. 

"Bhai, i think ammi and hasti bhab- i mean di are here!" he said covering up his slip up that I had clearly noticed. 

Actually I would love it that one day she is called that... Okay that is abnormal! 

The sight that greeted me was amazing! My ammi looked amazing masha allah and not forgetting Hasti- masha allah....
