He's Not Haram [My Halal Bias] Jung Hoseok

Chapter 7

"Hey you know I love you right? I know things have been difficult lately with our parents gone and all, but I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you. You've been really strong about this and I know Allah SWT is happy with the choices you've made," I say while smiling at my brother.

"What do you want?"

"I WAS TRYING TO HAVE A BONDING MOMENT WITH YOU!" I scream angrily. I was mostly mad cause he's right. I do want something.

Permission to go out with Hobi.

AND HIS FRIENDS WHICH ARE MY FRIENDS TOO IN A WAY!

It's totally not a date or anything.

"Hey, I forgot to tell you. Some weirdo yesterday stopped me and told me to stay away from you," he says calmly while eating his cereal.

"A weirdo?"

"Yeah. He said that I'm not allowed to talk to you because I'm a guy and if I was truly madly in love with you I wouldn't risk you going to hell and all," he says almost like it didn't bother him. " I pay for your schooling so you can get a good education, but if there are kids like that then that probably means it's not as smart as I thought it was. I'm changing your schoo-"

"NO!" I shout and surprise both me and my brother.

"Why?"

"Because I hate moving around. I already made some friends and I don't wanna start over when I've barely even started."

"Sumaya, who is that boy," he asks seriously.

"That's Hobi. Don't worry he's gay. He was assigned to help me with my classes and is really curious about Islam. I mostly ignore him so he gets his answers from Google," I say hoping he believes me.

"Good"

The ride to school was quiet and awkward.
I've never had a reason to lie to my brother

Astaghfirullah

I exit the car quietly. No salam. Nothing.

How am I supposed to ask him now? Am I even still going?

I didn't notice that I stopped at the entrance until I heard someone shouting my name.

Hobi

Day 3 and I already have a problem on my hands.
I see him running up to me almost out of breath.

"Hey, Sumaya. Whoa, I'm so tired. I ran a mile so I wouldn't miss you. Are you still up for this weekend?? I want you to meet the gang. And don't worry I made sure none of them wore anything with a cross on it. I don't want you to get burned or anything," he says while panting.

"I'M NOT A VAMPIRE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? ARE YOU REALLY THIS STUPID?? WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THIS INFO FROM?!?" I scream knowing I shouldn't.

I hate this. I feel guilty for lying to Haroon and putting it out on Hobi. Now I feel guilty for that.

"It's haram to scream at your husband's face," he says almost seriously.

And with that, I walk away to my first class.
