"We traveled 109 kilometers to attend her wedding, despite this hot weather, but now they are giving us a lame excuse to stay at home. This is insane!"

"You are right! They should have must have discussed this problem before. "

"I am not gonna stay here anymore and we will leave for our home tomorrow. "

" But they want us to attend the reception ceremony at least."

"Seriously Mom? Still, you want to stay here?"

We were in Pindi to attend my cousin's wedding. She invited us almost five days before the wedding day. We planned so many things together with our other cousins and we all were waiting desperately for her wedding day. But a day before, they told us that the groom wanted to have a simple wedding, so only twenty people would attend the wedding. But they will also do a grand reception ceremony to invite everyone who came there to attend the wedding.

I was very disappointed to hear this, how could someone do this? We did different dance practices and planned dholki nights, but at the last moment, everything was canceled. So I was arguing with my Mom to return home as soon as possible. Finally, I made up my mind that we would leave for home at 8 am. I started packing my luggage but my cousin who was also my best friend, was standing next to me. She wanted me to stay for some more days to have fun with her, but I did not agree.

After a while, she went out of the room. I thought she was displeased, so I went behind her. I looked for her in the whole house but she was not there. One of my other cousins told me that she was gone. I called her but she was not responding. After a while, she came back again but this time with her father. Her father was a very good friend of my father, as they were cousins and spent their childhood together. So I naturally had great respect for him. After greetings, he also convinced us to stay for one more day, if not there but at their house. So finally we agreed.

The next day, we got up and my uncle ( my friend's father) informed us that we were going out to have some fun.

"Have your breakfast and get ready for a short trip. If not wedding, we will find another way to have fun."

He was a kind-hearted and generous person, so I couldn't deny him. So after having our breakfast, we got ready and left at 11 am. It was a bright day and soon we reached the famous park in their area. My friend told me that she often visits this park with her family at weekends. We enjoyed some swings and also took some pictures together. Next, he brought us to the beach. It was my first time visiting the beach. I always wanted to go to the beach but sadly there is not any beach in our area, so I never had a chance before. So we enjoyed there a lot. My friend's father brought some snacks and cold drinks for us which we enjoyed while sitting under the sun.

"OMG! Just look at this, isn't it beautiful?" My friend screamed with happiness. I ran to her and saw the beautiful shells she was holding in her hands. I admired their beauty and also took some pictures. Later we played Beach Tennis there and enjoyed seafood in the nearby restaurant. Next, he brought us to the mall to do some shopping. I hesitated to buy anything but my friend and her father insisted that I should buy a dress according to my choice. My friend also buys me a watch and a bracelet as a gift. So after some shopping, we returned home at 6 pm.

When we came back, my mother was in the kitchen with my friend's mother as they both were cooking something special for us. We all had dinner together having different gossip. Later my friend showed me an album of her childhood pictures which was great fun. The day that was going to be ruined became a day full of joy just because of my friend and her father. Me and my mother thanked them for their hospitality and left for our home the next morning.

The End!
Thanks.
