' You may--i dont care' She replied with an indifference look.
"So whose guest are you? The groom or the bride?
She glances at him & faces back the crowd, her lips sealed tightly.Meanwhile she could see her friend Naimo who invited her to her aunts wedding.Naimo was Basra's close friend.Her reer abtii are Hawiya -but thankfully she is Habar Awal.I know- thought Basra to herself, a bizarre mating casualtly.Anyway the man appearing impatient to make her aquaintance continued to bug her.
"You are quite beautiful'
Basra gives him a lazy look, & faces away while shouting out loud.
"I know that"
"Oh you do? I bet you hear that a lot'
"Yes"
"Are you single? '
No.
Oh you are married?
Nope.
You have a fiancee?
Before she could continue --Naimo came running interrupting them.
"Basra--come--let me introduce you to my adeer--Nassir--he is 24-a graduate of Princeton university & very handsome as you can see for yourself.' She spoke while quickly grabbing her hands & dragging her away.While they were going away--Basra asked Naimo who was the man sitting next to her.Naimo glanced back & informed her that was her cousin--inaa--Lacaag Badaan; a recent graduate of Princeton as well--only his family is waay rich.Basra glanced back for the first time observing how handsome the man seem now-- i think it was the sun light that made her look at him favorably this time, she thought to herself.
"Well why dont you introduce me to him-- why are you introducing me to Nassir? I mean --dont get me wrong--Nassir is quite cute, & his Princeton association is fantastic--but he is broke, starting over.No-- lets turn back & go introduce me to that Handsome--cute moustached man over there --who by his stare is wonderfully waiting for me to enter his lonely life'
She spoke while checking through a mini mirrior that she just popped out of her Louis vutton bag-- & put on some light heavy weight red lip stick to fix a deal.Naimo appeared perplexed if not a little ashamed of her diamond digging friend--but being that her friend was a popular--sweet gorgeous friend to have around-- she always ignored her faults & puts on a loyal--subscribed smile.
Their detour back to the now unweird moustache tall man was quickly met--with Basra's quick pace of eager walk.The man stood uprightly & gave a little good teeth smile.
"Oh he has good teeth--thats wonderful to know' Basra whispered to herself.
'Naimo--you didn't see me a while ago---how do you do? Asked the enthusiastic Inaa Lacaag Badaan.
Naimo hugged him softly & quickly apologized for her rudeness of not seeing him a while ago.Finally when the time was completely right & Basra's impatients overtly obvious she made the demanded introductions.
"Walaal May I introduce my best Friend --- Basra"
Basra--smiled foolishly & thought to herself--'I can't believe she said i am her best' friend.The nerve of this woman!! I am not her best friend. I am just an aquaintence of hers- i was just bored at home & acompanied her to this horrid wedding that turned out to be a promising opportunity. She paused her thoughts further & thought upon a second thought-- wait a minute- perhaps its good she says i am her best friend. It will make things easier since her cousin is a catch!!
"How do you do Basra-- i think we briefly met a while ago' Inaa Lacaag Badaan spoke with a happy smile.
"Yes indeed you have walaal. I am sorry---i didn't catch your name--I think Naimo is being rude again not introducing your name' Basra --spoke quickly while extending her hand to him- regally to be gently kissed.
"Oh yes-- I am sorry---quite so --quite so-- His name is Caydiid' spoke a low voiced Naimo.
"What'?? Retorted a shocked Basra.
'Ahhh my name is Caydiid --dear-- I am Naimo's cousin from her mothers side-- u know the Habar gidir side?? Caydiid spoke--while playing with his rolled up moustache.
Basra at this point was stunned. I think she felt cheated & violeted. She was under the impression--he was her cousin from her dads side-- the cute Habar awals. She never imagined he could have come from her moms side. She was stunned & gradually his ugliness became completely obvious. His weird moustache became evident as more as the Habar gidir factor was processing in her head. He removed his shades & exposed his red scarry eyes---upon which Basra felt dizzy, faint & droped on the floor--fainting.
