Chapter 4

I ran downstairs as soon as possible because the movie would begin, kept the mug on the table ,grabbed the remote from the table and switched on the TV. Then I sat on the sofa excitedly.

"Anna mum," shouted from her room.

"Me!," I said to myself and walked to the room. I knocked at the room door wondering.

"Come in dear," mum said with a smile on her face.

I opened the door and peeped in by holding the knob and I saw Amy sitting next to mum. I kept the door wide open and stood at the entrance of the room by leaning over the side wall.

"We are going shopping. Do you want to join us?"mum asked, smiling.

"Sure," I replied cheerfully with a wide smile on my face.

.................................

Anna and Amy bought a gown. It was quarter past five when they arrived home. Anna was exhausted so she went to her room quickly after arriving to have a nap. Jackie and Jon were watching football together since they arrived home early.

"I appreciate your punctuality mom," Jackie appreciated sarcastically when they walked in the sitting room.

Everyone left for the function except for Amy and Anna because Anna's nap was for more than an hour and Amy wasted her time waking her up where Anna woke up just a few minutes after others left. Jon and Jackie waited for them downstairs as they were dressing in Anna's room.

"Amy may you get me that comb," Anna asked by pointing at it.

Anna combed her hair as well as her thick unshaped eyebrows.

"You look pretty," Amy commented by looking at Anna's image in the mirror

"Not as you do. You look stunning ,"Anna commented by raising her eyebrows.

Both walked downstairs together which made the boys statue.

"Wow,"Jon and Jackie chorused together.

"Sorry for the delay," Amy said by looking at the floor because she knew that Jon was staring at her.

"How do I look,"she asked, looking at the floor with a slight blush.

"You look stunning;" Jon replied.

"I told you," Anna whispered to Amy.

Amy was looking gorgeous with her white gown with yellow floral work. She wore her wedding ring and a long chain that ran down her neck with a beautiful heart carved pendant. Amy wore a pair of yellow heels which she usually loves to wear. Amy was very simple in make-up . She had only a light blush on her cheeks which enhanced her skin tone and gave her a lively look whenever she smiled. Both the sisters had applied a light pink lip gloss.

Jackie was eye locked with Anna he couldn't take his sight away from her.

Anna wore a long black gown with red floral work with deep pleats which made her look bright. The gown had a décolleté which made her neck bones visible. She wore mascara which made her eyes look small and had applied a light pink blush on her cheeks. She was accessorized with nothing except for a ring which her mother gave her. She wore a flat shoe because she doesn't go well with heels. Her hair was braided where a few strands were falling over.

Jon nudged Jackie with his elbow to bring back Jackie from his dream world and only then he realised how lost he was in Anna's appearance that he didn't notice that his lips were apart.

"Dude isn't she the one you have been waiting for," Jon whispered into Jackie's ears and got no response.

Jackie and Anna left the house and were waiting until Jon and Amy arrived since they were busy taking a few clicks.

"Won't you ask me how you look?," Jackie asked with a smirk on his face.

"Why should I?", Anna replied by looking up at him.

"Anyways you look splendid."

"Do I?", Anna questioned by curling her eyebrows.

"That's what I said, and hmm....okay how do I look."

Anna looked down at the ground with a slight smile on her face.

"Excuse me, I asked you how I look."

"Good", she replied softly.

"Oh My God only good. I spent so much time dressing only for good."

"Alright you look amazing"

"That's much better. Thanks," he replied instantly.

"You are welcome," she replied by taking her gaze away from Jackie's face.

"Do you know what I like the most from your features?" he leaned forward in interest.

"No "Anna replied without looking at him.

"So why don't you ask me that," Jackie commanded.

"Alright, tell me."

"It's your unshaped eyebrows, your eyes, hair, broad smile and especially your funny angry face which you always show to me. I guess basically everything."

"Oh really," Anna asked softly, still not looking at him.

"Yes my dear fighting cock," Jackie exclaimed.

"I-I'm not a fighting cock." Anna looked at Jackie angrily

"Awwwww....Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes."

"No."

"Oh God both of you are fighting cocks," Jon and Amy chorused as they came out after taking pics.

Both kept silent.

Jon tossed the key to Jackie.

"It's your turn to drive while I sit with my lovely wife admiring her beauty."

"Even I must admire my......," Jackie gulped his words looking at Anna.

So Jon and Amy sat behind while Jackie was driving the car and Anna sat next to him.

The drive to the function was silent. Although Jon was whispering through Amy's ears throughout the journey.

Most of the women wore long gowns and precious jewels and the men were dressed in shirts with black ties. As soon as they entered the hallway. Mum called Anna and Amy to introduce them to her dearest cousins and relatives
