PATIENCE
THE PROPHET(SAW) SAID: "WHOEVER REMAINS PATIENT, ALLAH WILL MAKE HIM PATIENT. NOBODY CAN BE GIVEN A BLESSING BETTER AND GREATER THAN PATIENCE".
SAHIH BUKHARI-1469

The next day, during my lectures, Sadeeq tried to talk to me again but I didn't pay attention to him. He's trying to frustrate me.

I kept eying him but that didn't return him to his senses. I don't think he has sense.

"What do you want?" I threw him the question because he was already on my neck.

"Em... Nothing, just want to be your friend, nothing more." Sadeeq said.

"If that's what you want I've accepted. But that doesn't give you the right to disturb me during lectures. Don't even try to sit next to me during the classes, please. Because you're always making me not to concentrate. Okay?" I said.

"Yes ma'am, I'll try to." He said.

"Good for you, and I'm not ma'am, you know my name so call me by my name," I said.

"Okay, but can we go out for lunch later? Please." He asked with puppy eyes.

"No, we can't. Well you can, but I can't. I'm not here to be going out with some guys." I said.

"Please," he pleaded.

"No, No means No. N, O. No, I'm not going. And don't ever ask again. Please." I said.

"Okay then. See you later." He waved and left.

Thank God and I left too.

"This guy is getting to my nerve, I'll deal with him, we just met on Monday, Freaking Monday but he's already asking me out. He's crazy." I said to A'isha.

"I saw how he was looking at you, I think he falls for you." She said winking.

"What! That can't be possible. ughhhh!. Don't make me hate him please." I said.

"Hah! Okay girl, easy. Just try to make him understand that you're not into him. That's just it. Okay?" A'isha adviced.

"Okay, I'll try to. But if he tries any nonsense I'll blow him on his face." I said.

"Well well well, who's getting a blow? I hope it's not my brother." Maryam interrupted.

"Great, you are here at the right time, remember that guy? Our course mate?" A'isha tried to tell Maryam.

"Oh, Sadeeq? I know his name." Maryam answered.

"So he asked Khadee out." She said.

"What! He's a nut! Don't even spare him a look, please. You're meant for my yaya only." Maryam said.

"You're not helping. You guys a draining my energy, please. Cut it off." I said.

"I'm serious, you better shoo him away cos if you don't, You know what I'm good at," Maryam said.

"What?" A'isha asked.
