"Are you at home tomorrow?"
Aisha had called and asked me yesterday night when I laid in bed ready to fall asleep. "Yes!".
"Great!"so that means your in for our friends outing tomorrow,she replied giddily.
"Yeah why not,"been feeling down lately that I really need some fresh air to cool my mind off everything.
"Afreen,"how many times have I warned you on worrying about whatever you have been keeping in your mind "I don't like seeing you like that,it makes me sad it hurts me way too much that you could ever imagine to see you coil up in an undiluted shell,she said in a crying voice.
"Pray to Allah about whatever it is that is bothering and never loose hope in Allah's mercy,Afreen,he sees you and hears your problems, always and forever, may he preserve you from any harm that comes your way.
"Amin ya rabb.
I had always prayed to Allah for blessing with that type of friends who stood by me through thick and thin and corrected me when I did something wrong,what more could I thank Allah for if not for blessing me with amazing friends who I could proudly show off to the world and say 'hey everyone they are my friends'.
Laughs.

Around 2pm in the afternoon, Aisha came to pick Afreen for their friends outing. She knocked on Afreen's room and entered with a taslim she found Afreen sitting on the middle of the bed with her phone in her hand she definitely didn't hear her taslim with the way she was so focused on whatever it is she was doing was doing or checking on her phone.
She stifled a laugh when an idea came into her mind! She quietly snicked to her back and barked in her ear.
She jolted up from the position she was as if pricked with a needle and shouted immediately.
"Shush girl it's me,"Aisha muttered not before she covered Afreen's mouth to avoid another shout coming from her mouth as she laughed with tears coming out of her eyes.
"You scared me,"I muttered while pouting.
That's what you get for not hearing me when I came into the. room.
Get up and go and find something to wear Raya must be waiting for us at our meeting venue.
I don't know what to wear,I whined.
Let me help you find something classy to wear then!
I opened my closet as we start rummaging for something 'classy,' how about this matching abaya Aisha asked as she picked an army green abaya adorned with a small design of beads at the top front. "Nice."
