Chapter XXXVI

Farha put down the dress on the bed and patted it, "I'm certain you are going to be the best dressed in the room." She smiled. Reem's cheeks flushed. She got on her feet and picked up the dress. She returned fully robed in it. Farha's face lightened up, she moved close to Reem and cupped her face in her hands, "may you always be happy." Reem smiled and hugged her in return. She looked in the mirror once more before leaving the room and Nanny Farha followed right behind her. King Zafar and Naeem were having some tea when Reem reached the courtyard.

"Reem-Noor, I see you're set to go…" Her father smiled as she gave him a peck on the left cheek.

"Yes, father I am. Naeem would you like to come along?" She asked expectantly.

"I'd have loved to join you but Anwar and I planned to go horse riding later. Do send my regards to all of them." Naeem said hoping she didn't feel too disappointed.
