Chapter 1
Aamna's POV
It was a disgusting morning. I woke up with a nerve-wracking headache, had two tests, skipped breakfast and reached college late.
My headache caused a heck lot of difficulty during my tests.
Thankfully, the weekend started tomorrow, and I had better plans for it.
I was supposed to meet Aaliyah after a whole month. Aaliyah was my best friend and she had been away for her cousin's wedding in Pakistan for a complete month. I'd been missing her like hell, and apparently, her cousin was moving in London with her husband. She invited me over to meet the newlywed couple, and I was looking forward to it.
I took out my phone and typed a message to Aaliyah.
I can't wait to meet you, man! Been so long since we last met. How's your cousin?
Aaliyah : She's good; quite excited to meet you. She's quite a sport when it comes to meeting new people; I bet you'll love her! And I missed you too babe! Don't worry'I promise you a great time today. ;)
Aamna : Awright man! What should I wear? Casual or a bit dressy? :/
Aaliyah : Don't go overboard'..slightly dressy works fine!
Aamna : Okay then, I gotta go! Love ya babe! <3
Aaliyah : Love ya more :P Bye!

I picked a knee length dark blue sleeveless top, and matched it with a pair of sapphire earrings to wear it at Aaliyah's place. I left my curls loose and put a dash of foundation, eye shadow, eye liner and used a pink matt lipstick.
I wore a pair of matching platform heels with my outfit, picked up my watch and my clutch before leaving the room.
I somewhat felt overdressed, but it was always better to be overdressed than underdressed.

"Aamna!", Aaliyah gleefully chuckled while greeting me with a heart-hammering embrace.
"Aal, I didn't die! It's not the first time we're meeting! You almost choked me with that hug!", I said with a smirk.
"Cut the crap! I know you love me", she added with a wink.
"Oh let me come in'will you?", I added with a feigned annoyance.
"Hello Aamna! I'm Farah. Aaliyah's cousin as you might already know. I've heard so much about you!", Aaliyah's cousin said before wrapping me into an embrace.
"I've heard about you too, Farah. I hope it's fine if I call you by your name.", I added.
"Oh ofcourse! You're absolutely welcome to call me by my name."
Farah seemed like a great person to talk to. And as our conversation progressed, I realized we even shared a lot of common interests. She loved Harry Potter like I did, and we both loved listening to Chris Brown. I purposely skipped One Direction when we were talking about music, because I went a little berserk'.okay completely berserk whenever someone talked about One Direction.
"Farah why couldn't Kabir join us?", Aaliyah asked.
"He's caught up with some work at office. You know, how business works. He was absent for so many days, and there's the whole industry that he has to look after.", Farah replied.
"Oh so you're husband is a businessman?", I asked.
"Yes, he is. I'm sure you would've liked him. Sad, he couldn't make it.", Farah said.
"It would've been nice if he could join us.", I said with a wide smile.
"Aamna, why don't you do something?", Farah said, "Join Aaliyah for dinner at my place next week. I'm having a small get together with some of our relatives and friends here in UK. It'll be just a small post-wedding party. You'll love it."
The idea sounded engaging to me, and it's always nice to meet new people. So I accepted the offer without hesitation.
Our pleasant conversation continued even on the dinner table, where Aaliyah's mom also joined us after returning home.
We chatted for a considerably long time, and I realized soon enough that it was time for me to return home.
