Two months later...

                    * Yusrah *

I smiled as I held my grandson for the third time ever. This is because I heard him crying while I was passing by, Nuriya is in the bathroom so I took the baby and placed him on my shoulder after a while, he stopped crying.

He was the cutest in the world, he looked really chubby, with his curly, black hair. His cute, pouty, pink lips, his beautiful fair skin, his eyelashes were full as well, an exact replica of his father.

Nuriya: "Oh it's you Inna "
She walked out from the bathroom with just a towel on. It breaks my heart that she still calls me that, how I would love for her to call me mama. At least she's talking to me, I smiled at her

Yusrah: "Yes, he was crying." She wanted to take him but I insisted

Nuriya: "Don't worry, I'll handle it"

Yusrah: "No, I'll hold him. Go put on some clothes" She smiled and walked towards her large cupboard, I sat on the bed with An-noor while she looked for what to wear.

Yusrah: "An-noor is three months old now. And he's so cute Masha Allah!" she laughed a little and replied,

Nuriya: "Yes, he is"
I tried to stir things up a bit,

Yusrah: "He looks nothing like us, which makes me wonder how his father looks like. It's obvious that he must be very handsome." She paused a little

Nuriya: " Yeah I'm sure he looks like him"
She put on a dark blue gown, with white rose petal designs on it, and a plain blue veil. She brought some fresh clothes for An-noor and she put it on him, and also wore him a pair of white socks. And then she carried him

Yusrah: "Thank you for giving me a chance Nuriya, it means a lot to me"

Nuriya: "I'm just trying to be at peace with myself that's it"

Yusrah: "Still, thank you" I hugged her, she didn't return the hug, but I didn't care, at least she didn't stop me.
We broke the hug and then I asked

Yusrah: "It looks like you are going out"

Nuriya: "Yes, I want to visit a friend"

Yusrah: "Who?"

Nuriya: "A friend"
I didn't want to push her, so I let it go

Yusrah: "Alright, just take care of yourself and An-noor"

Nuriya: "Ok I will" with that,
She left and I followed behind her. Where Is she going?

Haroon: "What a big boy he is now" I laughed
We were at a park, seated on a mat. I was so happy when he invited me for the picnic with his female friends Hanna and Shafa. I was so tired of staying indoors, It's the first time that I left the house with my son.
They had really prepared for the picnic, there were varieties of foods, drinks, fruits and snacks.

We were celebrating Haroon's birthday. Hanna sat beside him, being clingy and all, it's obvious she likes him. She wore a pink and white lace gown. While Shafa put on a red Abaya, she sat beside me facing both Haroon and Hanna.

Shafa: "I want to carry him Haroon"

Haroon: "I can't do that ma'am, can't you see that we are bonding" Shafa glared at him

Hanna: "Just give the boy to her so that we can eat and have fun more"

The reason why he is with the two of them was because they organised the surprise for him. He didn't want to be alone with them so that's why he asked me to join them. I sipped my glass of juice
