Chapter 4

Hoorain's POV

Im fat, so fat with anger!!!

Change my name if I don't make that Alien behave and change his ways.... (change my name to something cool okay?) So he insulted my makeup and got away with it? Well, Mr.coward I'll pay you back. And it sucks when you look glam but your pictures won't cooperate.

So yeah my mood is extremely messed up atm. And I know just the person to call right now.

"Salaam, Good to know you're alive." Said Anum.

"I just texted you like 2 hours ago"

"Well that's 7200 seconds" she replied

"Also called 2 hours. Duh"

"Why do you sound like a granny? Is something wrong?"

"You're a granny! A fat one... with no teeth... who wears a white Garara" I answered annoyed.

"Okay. So it's about Sheheroz huh?"

"Urghhh yeah... he's such a pathetic human being no not human an Alien! Maybe Aliens are better he's just a BEING who just about exists and eats whatever is in sight like nom nom nom. I don't know why, but sometimes I think his face looks shiny, like the shine from an egg..... Wait, no eggs don't shine! I just don't wanna be in the same air as him. Maybe his mouth blows air with toxic *annoying germs* which might absorb in me and I'd be annoying like him.."

"Hoor. You're already pretty much annoying yourself and calm down girl! Why are you so easily annoyed? "

"Im not easily annoyed, im just angry," I said

"You were never angry about little things, Why now? WHY ONLY WHEN HE ANNOYS?"

"It's not like... No I'm not annoyed and cheer me up please"

"Oh, I know... Let's go shopping. And yeah that means staring at expensive clothes cause they're branded and we can't afford them." she said."Yeah but we'll have fun staring okay... Oh and bring some money for ice cream cos I have none. Bye now."

"Tata. And if he annoys you again just pretend like you don't care. YOU DA BOSS dude"

"Ikr.. tc tata" I replied and hung up.

I jumped downstairs... I'm not that fan of shopping but with Anum, I enjoy a lot like we stare at clothes and judge people which makes it more exciting.

"Amma can I go out for shopping with Anum? I asked

"But be back before maghrib. and if you're going then buy these things at the way home." She said and handed over a list of things to buy for home supplies. I nodded and went to my room which was all messed up.

I promised to myself that I will clean my room after shopping. I opened my wardrobe and I found a pair of jeans and a jumper, took it and placed it on my bed. After taking a bath, I changed my clothes, I was sad that I can't wear pyjamas for shopping. then I sat near the dressing table and started blow drying my hair after straightening them I left them open. After that, I wore a light shade of lipstick. I was wearing my shoes and there was a loud knock on my door I opened it and there she was..."Wait a second how did you get in??" I asked.

"Aunty was standing at the door and she was buying some vegetables. So yeah I came in." She said

"Ohk" I said while I was finding my shades under the clothes that were on my bed.

"Hurry up hoor we have to get back before maghrib," Anum said while finding a place to sit.

"Yeah I know I know just wait a second... Woooh here they are, where did you go I was so worried" I said talking to the sunglasses.

"Can we go now??" She asked.

"Mhmm," I said.

"Can I drive?" I asked.

"No thanks. I don't wanna get killed" She said while opening the door of the car.

"I don't wanna get killed" I copied her in a funny accent

The car ride was fun we chatted about different things. I took some selfies, in which I edited her face into a round gol gappa.

"Omg stop it you're ruining my face" she said.

"Nuh-uh im gonna post it on Instagram" I teased.

"Oh yeah don't you forget that I have much more embarrassing picture of yours" she said in a teasing tone.

I bit my lips to show that I was worried but I know ma bestie would never do that.

We entered into the shopping mall. The scent of clothes, shoes and accessories just tickled my nose. We both smelled the atmosphere at the same time and looked to each other and burst out laughing.

We were walking aimlessly, until we found a big large shop we decided to go in but that place was crowded as if clothes were free, after seeing the large banner we realized there was SALE in the shop.

"Im not even going to enter this shop I'm gonna faint in there seriously" I said making a horrible face.

"Yeah mee too" said anum with a tensed expression.

"Let's find another shop. There must be thousands of them here" I decided and anum nodded. We began walking again and then we found a shop for casual wearing. We were looking at every single thing of that shop even the hangers like everything was totally fancy and obviously expensive.

We stared at many Kurtis and shirts, pants, hats and clutches. Everything was so expensive but the kurti's were really amazing.

"Whoa check this one out isn't it cool. Like see the pattern and omg the buttons are like...like im speechless." I said.

"How can any button make you speechless? show me... Hoor you are just exaggerating it" said anum.

We were looking around for some Kurti which we can buy. After a lot of searching we found three kurti's and we chose two of them.

"Finallllllyyyyyy" dragged anum.

"Yaaaaasss," I shouted

I didn't knew I shouted that word. I looked around and everybody looked at me as if I was crazy. Anum giggled and so did I.

"How much will this cost sir??" I asked the cashier.

"It would be 1500 each Kurti" he informed.

I told anum that I'm not buying this Kurti right now you can buy it but she regretted and said: "If you are not buying it then I won't buy it either," she said while crossing her arms.

"But I don't have enough money " I informed

" Hello!! Your best friend is here, I'm going to buy it for you ummm take it as a gift" she said and without waiting for my reply she gave the money to the cashier and handed me the bag. I'm so grateful to have a friend like anum if she won't be there I would be totally incomplete.

"Hoor I'm feeling hungry can we eat something??" Said anum.

"Yeah same here let's go to the food court," I said with excitement in my voice.

We went to the food court and found the perfect place to sit. I flip the pages of the menu and searched for something good to eat. My final choice was a chicken cheeseburger with Fanta, and anum ordered chicken burger with Sprite. We were talking about random people in the food court and suddenly something caught my eye, a similar face sitting on the table that was in front of me. Don't ask me who he was.... my temperament was high again."Anum he is on the table right in front of ours" I whispered.

"Omg how did he get here? Is he following you ? " asked Anum.

"No he's not following I guess. He's here with his friend" I informed.

"Im going to talk to him," I said

Sheroze POV

"Can you please pick me up? I don't know where is that mall.. and why did you chose a mall? like there are hundreds of other places here " I asked.

"Dude that place is so cool. And yeah we can buy sherwani for you for my wedding. Okay I'll be there in 5 minutes. Are you ready yet??" Asked asif.

"Yes I'm ready and I'm standing outside. Could you just hurry up?. I don't wanna go in." I said while looking inside the house.

"Hey I'm not sure I'll be there in exact 5 minutes. And there is no shark in the house which will bite you, if you would go in dumbo, Allahafiz. See you in 5 minutes" he said.

"Okay Allah Hafiz." with that I hung up.

I entered the house and there was no sign of Hoorian in the place she was standing before. I was finding phuppo, she was in the laundry area.

"Phuppo my friend asif is coming to pick me up. I came here because of his wedding. So we will do some shopping for him and I will buy sherwani. Do you want anything??...... ooh I forgot I bought gifts for you! I will give you when I will reach home." I said to Phuppo with a big grin.

"Arey! It wasn't necessary beta, ok make sure you eat something and say my salam to your friend." Phuppo said while placing her hand on my head.

I was a little sorry for hoorain, I shouldn't insult her like that but she also ruined my favourite shirt urgh I don't know if we could ever get along.

Asif was there I said Allahafiz to phuppo. And stepped out of the house.

"Come on get in what are you waiting for an invitation?" He said while smiling.

"Yes I am waiting for an invitation you have it? " I asked in a teasing tone.

"Shut up just get in " he said and I took the passenger seat.

"So how is it going ? " he asked.

"Umm I don't know" I said confusingly.

"O..k, so you don't like it huh??" He asked.

"See, like Pakistan is normal, phuppo is amazing, my room is nice, but..."

"But??" He said looking at me and then looking at road.

"Meri phuppo ki beti yaar," I said in an annoyed tone.

"Okay...and what's that bad about her?" He asked.

"Everything I guess, when we were like seven or six years old from that time we never get along, and then now it's the same thing we fight more than talk, no we don't even talk we just insult each other like the whole time. Just right now she had done makeup so I called her cake face, and she also ruined my shirt."I informed.

"So you guys are more like tom and jerry." He teased.

"Haha very funny. " I replied

"Btw what's her name? " he asked.

"Hoorain aka hooorific," I said extending the horrific.

"Try to get along with her," Asif said.

"Leave her, let's talk about anything else. Ohh what's the name of my bhabhi?" I asked, trying to annoy him.

"Mariam." He replied.

"Cool," I said.

"Hmm, well btw when are you going to get married ?" Now he started teasing me.

"Why the hell are you talking about my wedding," I shouted.

He chuckled and so the ride goes on and on......

"Welcome to the mall buddy," Asif shouted dragging the word buddy.I rolled my eyes at his behaviour.

As we entered the mall it was literally flooding with people but at least it was air-conditioned or else I would have fainted. We went to some of the shops to buy sherwani for Asif. I was also searching Kurta and some casuals dresses for myself. After shopping, we went to the food court. Because my dear friend was hungry.

" So you had fun shopping? " He asked

" Yeah yeah see I'm jumping with joy " I said annoyed.

"Haha ok ok don't need to get so grumpy. Let's order something."

"Okay" I said looking at the menu, I was searching for something good but not heavy.

"I would like to order chicken cheese sticks with Fanta, and asif ordered beef burger, we were talking about the places in Pakistan. Asif visits Pakistan often so he knows everything about it.

"Wait a second we forgot to buy the most important thing" asif said worried.

"And what is that important thing??" I asked.

"Ring for my bride," he said smiling

"Ooooh it's so much important like if you won't give her then it would ruin your day" I said sarcastically.

"Yes, it would." He said proudly.

"ok then Mr lovebird, we will buy it after eating something," I said to him.

"Mhmm" he nodded.

Our food was there in no time and we started eating it like we were hungry for years.

"Shopping is so frustrating, why do girls love doing shopping??" I asked Asif.

"You're asking me as if I'm a girl, how could I know" he said shrugging.

"Well bro now you're getting married and getting married means coming to these types of places all the time," I said.

"You probably don't know the meaning of marriage." He said with a slight smile.

That's when I heard a loud "thud" voice on the table I saw who it was and here we go again.

"What's the matter with you can't you just leave me alone?" She said angrily.

"Well you're the one who is following me" I replied.

"I really don't wanna start here. But I'll definitely gonna pay back you." She said.

"Oh well you're the one who is on my table just go back to your seat, I think you like to talk to me that's why every time you start the conversation."

"Oh hello Mr, nobody likes to talk to an alien and I'm not here to start a conversation I'm just warning you to STAY OUT OF MY WAY." With that her friend came from beside and grabbed her arm and told him to calm down, because of her friend she went out of my sight.

"Woah that really was weird, You know what I'll help you guys to get along." Said Asif in amusement.

"Thank you so much for your offer but I really don't wish to get along with that girl," I said and that was the end of the conversation.

Hoorain's POV:

As I entered, I heard loud noises of talking and laughing, who could be at this time, at the garden there was my Chachi and her daughter Faryal having tea, we were nice friends but not that much, there was formality between us.

"Assalamoalikum" I said while hugging her, and shaking hands with faryal.

"Walaikum asslam" said khala and ammi at the same time.

"Hehe Ammi I want to talk to you for a second" I said to Ammi.

"Excuse me" she said to Khala and faryal.

"What is it?"

"Umm ammi I'm sorry I haven't bought the things you asked me to, the thing is, your "SHAZZY" was there and yeah we had a little fight so I forgot all about it," I said while biting my lips.

"Huh Chalo what can we do now? But take care next time I'll ask shazzy at least he is much responsible." Ammi said.

"Amma you're choosing him over me!" I replied.

"Off now go change your clothes and clean up your room its seems like a wild cat is living there, after finishing, call faryal to your room she is so bored."

"Ok I will, and amma I AM your wild cat."

Ammi chuckled and I went to my room, I was standing in front of the wardrobe choosing what to wear, I took out a brown Kameez and wore it with black tights. They weren't that much tight so yeah I can be comfortable in it. I wore it and made a ponytail, enough of the open hair.. I started cleaning my room some of the clothes were so much to pick up so I placed a bed sheet over it to hide it and scrambled all the clothes into my wardrobe. It was presentable, I called faryal and asked her to come up, cuz I can't go all the way down and then come up again.

We were chatting about the new trend of eye makeup. and I also showed her my new Kurti.

"So where is your cousin who came here from the UK?" she asked.

"Umm I don't know, why?" I replied.

"Nothing," she said, it looked like maybe she wanted to talk about him.

"Do you like him?" I asked straight to the point..

"Um n..no why would I like him, I don't even know how he looks like " she said confusingly.

"Haha ok well trust me you don't wanna meet him " I warned her.

"Haha why?"

"He is Soo annoying and egoistic. He don't even know how to talk properly."

"Seems like you guys don't get along!" She laughed and I rolled my eyes.

After having some refreshments and more talking they were going home. I went down to bid them Allah Hafiz. Then I was Soo tired after shopping and stuff so I called it a day.
