Nabeela's residence.

"I'm so exhausted right now, we just came back. Can i call you back later?" Abbakar could sense the stress in her voice

"Sure." He replied hanging up.

"This guy kinda have anger issues, and he has to fix that if he really wants us to be cool." Najma declared squinting.

"I won't say anything, it's just been 2 weeks since you guys started talking, but you're always carried away with his calls, it's today of all days that you're getting to know he has anger issues? You're not even serious." Basma shook her head giggling.

"Stop being a jealous babe, you know he can't snatch me away from you right? It's just that I always have fun talking to him." Najma never knew Abbakar could be this interesting, now she knows why they say don't judge a book by it's cover .

On the other hand, Abbakar also finds Najma really interesting, though he sometimes thinks she acts like a brat, but what could he do about that?

Her lively nature was worth dying for, there's never a boring moment with her. She lights up his boring life, he had to agree to that. His favorite thing was listening to the sound of her melodious laughter which was so soothing to the soul.

Abbakar felt Najma can never get a high blood pressure or heart problem because she's always cheerful and happy. She's blunt and could speak without any fear. She believes in trashing out things the moment they happen.

"I really need a break from studying, my brain aches." Najma rolled her eyes collapsing lazily on the sofa.

"How can one's brain ache? Najma Allah ya shirya min ke ( May Allah guide you) " Mummy chuckled as she sat down close to Najma.

"I know you don't have to say it, you need go out and clear your head this weekend."

Mummy knows Najma way too much, that was exactly what Najma was about to say.

"Your friend is too lazy" Mummy said to Basma .

"Hmmm Mummy, I don't know how she's going to handle being on her own when we marry her off. Imagine a whole Najma saddled with the responsibility of taking care of an entire house."

I can't wait to see that day too Basma." Mummy and Basma both laughed hysterical.

Najma shook her head and released a faint smile that almost looked like a frown.

" You will never understand how I don't like stress. For status now, since I collected my laundry it's been in the wardrobe untouched. I have to get my Kabbasa and steam all the clothes. That alone is a big stress, not to talk about how I'm going to have a wash day tomorrow." Najma lazily touched her hair.

"Why not we go to Beejay ? Afterwards we can go to 355 and hang out with Nabeela" Basma suggested.

"Sounds cool with me." Najma agreed.

"Mummy i want popsicle" Haidar pouted landing on Najma's laps.

"So my baby wants popsicle? We will go and get one then" She patted his back gently.

"No Najma, I don't want him to have a cold. He has lately been taking way too much cold stuff."

"Come on Mummy, one popsicle won't hurt, i will give him a hot bath when we are back insha Allah " She winked .

"Najma! Najma! Najma! When will you stop spoiling this boy? " Mummy chuckled.

"We live only once" Najma and Basma chorus laughing hysterical.

"You girls are impossible." Mummy shook her head

"Then I'll get some grilled chicken." Najma smiled .
