THE ANSWER TO ALL PROBLEMS IS SABR(PATIENCE)

EGYPT🇪🇬🖤

We came back to school a week ago, gosh I've started missing my family already.

I came back from class and decided to have a nap because I'm having another lecture after zuhur prayers.

Farida, our roommate is no longer living with us. I don't know if she got another room or whatever.

"Assalamu alaikum," Maryam said while entering the room.

"Wa alikumus salam." I answered with my eyes closed.

"Don't tell me you're trying to sleep." She said.

"What if I'm trying to sleep?" I asked with my eyes still closed

"I won't let you, you know that. You can only sleep when it's night or if I'm not in this room." She said with her hands akimbo.

"We shall see," I said.

"Okay then. You want to try me right?" She asked.

"Don't you dare try to drag me down the bed." I warned.

"Thanks for the hint, of course I'm doing that." She said.

She kept her bag then removed her veil, she came to where the bed was then tried to drag me down.

"Maryam.. I'm sorry please, I didn't mean what I said. Please spare me." I said laughing.

"I thought you're strong headed. This is not how you would behave when I get you married to my brother." She said.

I laughed. "So you're the one to get us married. Oh God, you're not serious." I said.

"Of course. You know I can do that. Because I'm his only sister and you're my only cousin." She said.

"What about Khalifa and the rest." I asked.

"They're also my cousins. But are they ready to settle down?" She asked raising her left eyebrow.

"Oh! I got you. So please don't disturb me, I'm having another class later, I just want to rest a bit. Please," I said giving her the best puppy eyes i could.

"Okay fine, but you have to call yaya first. He's not picking my calls." She said.

"Nope, I know he's with a patient now." I said not minding what she would say.

"What! When did yaya start telling you about his work?" She asked. I know she was surprised.

"Huh! You're disturbing me. I want sleep Maryam. Maryam I want to rest. I know you you can't live without me. I know, but give me this time to rest." I said.

"And who said I can't live without you. You can tell yaya that, not me girl!." She answered.

"Okay, thank you." I simply said.

And with that she finally let me to have some sleep.
