*MY WORLD*
EPISODE 33
Khadijah's POV
Since I am so self-conscious and also the bride's cousin...not only that,even the groom's bestfriend and sister,y'all agree i need to look good right? I am doing just that! You won't believe the fact that i have been decking myself up for 3hours now,ya Allaah Am I the bride?! I am done now Alhamdulillaah and Maa Shaa Allaah,my Zainaab will love my appearance. I just want to make her happy. I was throwing myself some glances through the mirror when my crazy partner showed up..
"Khadeeeeejah!" She kept her mouth ajar
"What Jameelah,go and get dressed please" I faked nonchalance
"We have the same dress to wear but I will definitely not wear this anymore...i will look like zero infronta you" ohh this girl,actually...our dresses are shown in the same style but we have different colours,what's the big fuss about that?
"Your dress colour is more beautiful than mine,so please stop exaggerating and go deck yourself up....and yes,dress prince AbuBakr and bring him to me before you will do anything"
"Only one cool thing about you,when you are around,you become my son's mother." Sarcasm!
With that she ran off...I mean,will Jameelah ever grow,even with her husband and child,she gets more childish by the day.

"Khadijah,we were coming out and people were mistaken you to be me" I know I know,isn't it meee? Lol
"Well they don't know that the bride takes ages to come out,anyone who comes out early,ain't actually the bride."
We were on our way to the masjid and Zainaab was in a royal blue outfit which suits her like hell,but she will keep on promoting me.
"Let's forget all that,how are you feeling? Tell your big sister" I made a puppy face "she doesn't know anything about marriage and how it feels" I faked tears and she just giggled.
"Well,I am feeling very happy to be frank...uhmm because you know,Azeez has ever been the thief of my heart"
"Awwn,baby sis is getting all lovey dovey haanh?" With that she blushed
"And don't you know you have always been the reason Azeez turns crazier e'ryday." She looks at me and smiles as I remember how it all started.
_flashback_
"Khadijah,can...I..t- tell...you something?" Azeez stuttered with his words.
"Of course,what is it?" I asked curiously
"Uhmm,how do I say this yaar!" Wow,i wonder what this crazy guy wants to say?
"Look,feel free,this is me you are talking to,your sister Khadijah...acha I'm waiting."
"Ok ok,Deejah,I-I like someone!" Oh My My!
"Who?" I asked with a teasy+smiley look
"Your cousin sister,Zainaab!"
"Areh waaaa! Are you serious!? Azeez!" I made a fuss
"Ye-yes" he shyed out,awwwn my baby brother
"Look at me,you really like her right?" He nodded "then don't feel shy ok,just express yourself clearly,amma help you get her"
"Really Khadijah? Are you serious?" He couldn't believe it
"Yes,if you only want to marry her and not behave in any nonsense way"
I made myself clear because I'm no way promoting Haraam Relationships
"I am your brother,have you ever taught me to behave in any nonsense way?" Awwn,this is how brothers should be!
"Great! Now tell me how it all started" I stretched my hands and sat properly to hear how this Adonis of a gentleman fell for my pretty cuzzo...have you realised,they are both so pretty,I wonder how their child will look like?
"I fell in love with your sister the first day that I saw her" now that is rude! Lol,lemme not cut him,y'all wanna hear the story right "it was when you both invited her to go to dinner with us to RUQ'S! The first day I saw her,I became connected to her without understanding how! I started anticipating to see her...uhmm,it's kinda crazy though because,because I take y'all to RUQ's just so that I will see her everytime" Haa! Love makes a sane guy insane seriously! "I fell in love with her reserved nature,her smile,her shyness..."
"Ok ok sir,so all these while,you have been observing my likkle sis from head to toe hah?"
"No mum,you never thought me that." Let me keep my tantrums for sometime "oya,continue!"
"I won't lie,i normally steal glances of her...but believe me,she also does!"
"Don't tarnish her image,if you do,she will reject you!" I warned him cause I know my Zainaab!
"Ok ok,I have this weird feeling that she likes me too but it gets me only 1% of hope" with that I made a deep thought and i also feel the same thing...I can remember seeing Zainaah look kinda sad when we talk about Azeez,as if she likes him but believes they can never be together...i don't know,need to ask her.
"Sometimes,I call you and wish to ask you how she is doing but i force myself not to before you'll suspect anything" so this boy was hiding from me....Jameelah needs to hear this! Whoa,news of the dayyy!
The day went fine as Azeez explained everything to me. I made a big hurry home and couldn't wait for weekends to end.
When I went back to Aunt's place....I couldn't wait to tell Zainaah everything but i needed to wait for Jameelah so that we both will enjoy the whole thing. Days passed like snails and the day arrived when I was gonna tell everything to Zainaah.
"Ok girls,no movie tonight." They all grunted and asked why
"Well because,someone among us,is the movie today." They all started looking at me and at each other.
"Ok listen,Zainaah is our topic please"
"What? Khadijah,why me?"
"Just listen and listen attentively."
"Do you,Zainaab Khayree,by any chance...have any wee feelings for..." I made a long pause and looked at Jameelah who couldn't wait anymore.
"Continue Khadijah" she begged and Zainaab's face turned pale and all scared...we have found her mafia secret!
"A'z'e'e'z?"
"Whaaat? Me? Azeez? No...I mean,why will I do that?"
"Just tell me the truth...don't deny cause I know already."
"Sisterrrrr! I will not say anything!" Awwn,my baby is feeling terrible. I understand the feeling though. But my second info will make her happy i believe!
"Don't say anything,just know that...Azeez likes you too!" I would have paid millions to see the expression on both the girls' faces again and again. Zainaab could not believe it,neither could Jameelah. The blush on Zainaab's face was priceless, the feeling of true love,the feeling of being loved back is indeed magical!
That same day,Jameelah also told us about AlJannah's proposal and we had the best girl's night ever!
With that they exchanged dials and Zainaab agreed later on that she likes him but she had a believe that Azeez was into me! Astaghfirrullaah,lol. Sometimes they will chat for hours and sometimes,I,mum Khadijah will seize Zainaab's phone to teach her how to stop being a haramii,lol! Y'all know my brother is a gentleman,so clean at heart. He came home and formed ties with Aunt Hawaa even before anything,Aunt likes Azeez too and we all trust him and Zainaab couldn't be in safer hands than his!
Azeez got his PHD in Engineering and Zainaab is a pharmacist. When they all got their acquired degrees,they then prepared for their wedding.
_flashback ends_
The nikkah was done in the masjid and everyone sent mabrooqs upon the couple. I was asked to take the bride to his husband for them to do their first greeting as husband and wife,so sweet. I took Zainaab to Azeez and gave her hand to him as they hungrily looked at each other as if their eyes were thirsty for each other. I excused myself and searched for Jameelah so that I'll stick to her cause Zainaah does not have my time,neither does Azeez. Yes,my Angel Jibril too...where is he? Y'all my angel is a grand boy now. There I was searching for Jibril,and then I saw him. He was standing with a guy and chatting fine,thats Jibril for you,he makes friends in seconds. But who is this guy? He has a medium height and his beards were showing from the sides Maa shaa Allaah and his hair was a little long but not upto the shoulders...he wore the Muslim men hat and was cladded in cute clothes. Their back was facing me so i moved to the front to see them properly.
"Jibril" I called but got answered by the looks that sent chills to my spine.
I saw a better looking guy who's face i can never forget even if he's done some plastic surgery! I just saw Mustapha,after decades! Damn! He still has an effect on me!
