Chapter eighteen

Double date Saga;

Ummi's POV
We will be out on a double date today. It will soon be time for our scheduled outing, and I have yet to conclude what to wear! Goodness, lord, help me out! I yelled, closing my wardrobe. Samira entered the room and saw how gloomy my face was and inquired why I was looking sad! "I don't know what to wear for the double date! This is the first time I will be going out on a date with Ahmad, and I don't know what to wear!" I cried out like a baby looking for her lost chocolates with pouty lips ''just wear anything!" Samira taunted, trying to annoy me more

"Samira, pleeaassee be serious!" I said with a crying voice, slowly sitting on my bed with my hoodies, "you've got lots of outfits in your closet! I don't know why you are being selective. Not like it's a date with you and Ahmad alone. It's a double date with Umar and his fiancee too!" SAMIRA rolled her eyes at me, "exactly why I have to wear the best outfit! It's a double date, Umar and his fiancee will be there too. I need to look presentable. First expression matters!" I groaned, resting my head on my palms "goodness! Why didn't you pick something since, and you being cranky about it now!?" SAMIRA said, sitting closer to me on the bed. "I thought I would be wearing that pink Arabian wear," I softly said, motioning to the pink gown on the bed, "but... I think the veil on it is a bit short" I yelp softly

"You're just being selective! Let me help you out!" Samira said, opening my closet while I innocently smiled at her like a baby. "It's nice having a big sister," a voice echoed within, and I could only smile. In a minute, my problem got solved. Samira selected a nice purple Malaysian gown and a voluminous white veil to go with it. "How did I not think of this!" I screamed and hugged her tightly "this has got to be the perfect outfit for such a date" I smirked and got dressed quickly. Immediately I wrapped my veil around my body, and Ahmad's call came in. "Are you out already?" I asked with a glittering smile like he could see me "yes, are you ready?" he asked while I nodded before replying, "almost done," I said softly while he chuckled.

"I will be there soon," he replied, and we broke off the call. I applied some powder to lighten my oily face and some Kohl around my orbs. I always look soft and enchanting whenever I have Kohl on. I heaved a pleasing sigh and applied my glossy lips secret (HSG). I didn't miss the glitters my lips had on, making me look even more appealing. I wore a simple purple bag and matched out after wearing my flat black shoe. Ahmad was outside already. He held the door open for me as I gently slid in. He smiled at me. I didn't miss the sweetness in his eyes. "You are looking nice, Masha Allah!" he said. I responded with, "you look stunning in that white Kaftan!" On our ride to the lounge palace, Ahmad had told me to visit his office at the Hospital the next day, which I agreed to excitedly. "I would like to see you on your Doctor's coat and your relationship with patients," I announced while he let out a smirk.

I looked around, appreciating the beautiful view in front of me. "355 steakhouses and lounge" boldly written. It's a large building, well equipped and decorated codedly to fit its purpose. "Wow! This place is beautiful," I complimented while Ahmad responded with an innocent smile "shall we?" he said, and I nodded. We sauntered majestically into the building, and I must say, "this is lavishly amazing! It's heaven on earth," I thought with a wide smile captured on my face. Ahmad led me to our spot, and there I met Umar and his fiancee already seated, having a mild discussion before we interrupted. "You are here!" Umar motioned, flashing us a broad smile. He shook hands with Ahmad while his fiancee side-hugged me with a warm smile.

"You look really pretty!" she said while I fluttered my eyelashes before responding, "you look beautiful yourself," I said, sitting beside Ahmad. "Our wife! This is my wife to be, Maryam!" Umar did the introduction, and we all chuckled. "Nice to meet you," Maryam and I said in unison while she further added, "I have wanted to meet you ever since I heard about you from Umar! I couldn't make it to the wedding. I was occupied!" she explained while I nodded it was fine. "Now you've seen her. I hope we are fine now?" Ahmad said with a sly smile, "of course, Ahmad! You've got eyes for women, huh?!" Maryam announced, and I felt my heart sink for a minute
