Secrets

Chapter-2 (Unplanned fashion show)

As I walked ignoring the glances of the people nearly in about 10 minutes I was in front of Alsha's house. I rung the bell, after about a minute Alsha's mom opened the door I smiled at her but she was surprised looking at me. What happened? Is something wrong with me?

"Nora dear what happened to your clothes and face? Why is it so muddy?" Oh yeah that, I've almost forgotten about that.

"Nothing aunt Aura, I tripped on a dog and fall in the way while coming here."I told her truthfully because of which a small smile crept to her face. She turned back and closed the door while I went forward.

"Where's Alsha?" I asked her to change the topic as I wasn't liking that smile and also because she always used to be the one to open the door for me.

"She is upstairs in her room dear and yeah!" I turned towards her and saw her smirking, why is she being so wicked? Gosh is something wrong with me today? "Ask Alsha to give you clothes to change otherwise you'll get sick."

"Okay aunt" I too said smiling because she is just sweet like that no one could be angry with her for long.

I went upstairs to her room and opened the door. I saw Alsha folding her clothes to keep in her closet. How do I know? Because her closet was open.

"Hey" I said lightly.

Then she turned towards me and said "Hi" and made a face and now the reaction in 1 2 3...

"OMG Nora have you gone swimming in mud pond or what? What have you done to yourself?"

"Noooo I slipped in front of the coffee shop due to that stupid little dog's timing annnd there are no mud ponds in Downtown for your info Alsha, you also have to give me some clothes to change as per aunt Aura's order."

She giggled suppressing her laughter and then looked into my eyes. "Go take shower I'll get you a dress to change."

I followed her order and went to take a shower after she handed me a tank tops and a pajama. After taking shower and changing the clothes she'd given I went to Alsha's room as the bathroom was in the corridor next to her room. When I reached the door of her room, she was furrowing the closet to take out the clothes she have which was kept there without folding it.

"How many clothes do you have Alsha? It seems like a whole mall could fit in your closet." I said looking at her and her pile of clothed concurrently.

"They aren't that much Nora, it only looks like a mall is in my closet but when I have to go somewhere I won't find any suitable clothes for the occasion."

"Yeah that's true." I too agreed with her as I also had the same problem.

I sat at the edge of her bed just few inches away from her. She was humming some song which I don't know while she was folding the clothes.

"You know what Alsha; someone can organize a fashion show with all your unused clothes."I told her what I was feeling coz she is that type of girl who'd wear a dress until it'd tear as that's her favorite dress and she wouldn't want to wear any other dress at that time. I know she hasn't used more than 10 dresses from that closet because she would wear the same three dresses since the college had started.

"Fashion show?"She asked raising an eyebrow and stopped folding the clothes that was in her hand and keep it aside.

I smiled a bit and said "Yeah fashion show." Coz I'm not going to like whatever she'll say...

"Hey Nora let's do fashion show. What say?"See..coz I don't like her idea a bit but she looked so excited about that, oh god what can I do of this girl? Why is this girl like this?

"I don't think it's a good idea Alsha." I told her trying to push the subject away but the girl seemed to be so much excited that she wasn't going to listen to anyone except herself.

"Come on you're no fun." She pulled me from where I was sitting while she pouted sadly. Why is everyone blackmailing me?

"Urg ok but I ain't gonna wear that and that and that." I said pointing to every dress that was lying round the corner.

"Oh we'll see in bit missy." Alsha said looking at me with narrow eyes.

Then she picked some dress from the floor and threw some at me.

We changed into different clothes taking selfies with every dress on and didn't even realized the time until aunt Aura came and called us to come and have dinner.

After dinner I shortly left telling I had some work remaining in my apartment though both of them were insisting me to stay.

Although I wanted to I didn't wanted to ruin the mother daughter bonding time coz I know that Alsha talks with her mother about anything and everything and that's the time before they go to bed sitting in the couch ogling at the TV screen making remarks about the people they met and how's life going on.

With a simple good bye I came out of Alsha's house and hired a cab to go to my apartment.
