Layaan POV

I can't believe what just happened. I don't even know how this all happened. Ya Allah. I decide to spend the rest of the day reading quran, there isn't a better way to relieve my stress.

After reading some quran I take a break and pray maghrib, afterwards I read some more quran.

My heart hurts. Like it physically hurts, what if Omar thinks I Like Jake? Or if im had a relationship with him? Wallah I love omar.

As I sat in my room thinking about our argument, my dad calls me down to see him.

I slowly walk down the stairs to our backyard where baba was sitting.

"Come come Layaan", baba says as he helps me sit down next to him.

He continues, "so you seem to be doing better".

I put a fake smile on my face, "yea ️Alhamdullah I can move on my own now"

"Good because Omar came to tell me how you guys want to have the nikkah quickly. So your nikkah is now on next Friday in shaa Allah, is that fine with you", baba asks.

I hold back my tears and reply as I nod my head, "yes baba, yes, that's perfect".

"Listen just because you'll be married doesn't mean you can neglect your studies! You will still finish your senior year okay!", he says sternly.

"Of course baba, thank you." I say as I give him a hug.

Afterwards I go to my room and pray isha. I made duaa that Allah will keep omar and I together. That we will have a relationship like Muhammad saw and Khadijah and Aisha RA.

I get into my bed and think about my wedding day. Even though we are just having a dinner am so happy, I will finally be with omar. But I can't help but feel sadness over our argument. It was so simple, but I feel horrible. Why can't Jake just leave me alone. As my eyes begin tearing up I hear something hitting my window. I throw on my hijab and abaya and look outside the window.

I look down only to see omar with a bouquet of roses and a sigh saying 'im sorry, I'm a very jealous guy'.

"Apology accepted" I smile.

He then throws the bouquet to my window as I try to catch it. After three times I manage to catch the bouquet.

"Goodnight wifey" he mouths.

"Night hubby", I reply.

**********************************

It's finally the day before my nikkah so my mom, Nayaan, Dina, and I decide to go to a wedding dress store to pick out a dress. It's pretty last minute, but I work better under pressure.

I try on numerous amounts of dresses but only one catches my eyes. A long laced white dress with laced sleeves. It was perfect. Long train, lace, and modest. It didn't take me long to pick a dress. I'm a fast shopper.

After picking my dress Dina and I go to the park and chill eating some Icecream. This is the last time I will spend time with my bff single.

"Are you nervous! Tomorrow you'll be Omar's! You're Going to be married!", she states with excitement.

"Im freaking out Dina! I've never been alone with a guy, you know, but every time I get nervous I remember the type of person is", I blush.

"He loves you Layaan, he really loves you. He's Going to treat you right in shaa Allah", she comforts me.
