Thursday morning I woke up at 5am to make wudu and go to the masjid, pray and go back home I was still happy from yesterday I was smile very much and the sheikh noticed that I had a huge smile today he sat me down next to him and told me "Brother you look very happy today may Allah keep you happiness and vanish your sadness" "Yeah sheikh, wallah I'm happy I hope all grants me her" "Inshallah brother may Allah guide your hearts together in happiness and peace, what's her name if I may ask?" "Her name is Amira just as beautiful as the moonlight and as gorgeous as the stars" "Well hope everything goes well, salam ealaykum" "W ealaykum alsalam".
I arrived home got dressed and went to make me coffee when Bahir called me "Good morning Adam , how are you today?" "I'm great thanks, just making coffee, and you?" "Ooh I'm great can we go out for a walk next to our university and can you please make me coffee as well?" "Yeah, sure bud" "Okay see you soon" "See you".
I made me way down the stairs when I caught a glimpse of her out the window "Amira" I whispered I saw her helping an older woman crossing the road "She's really amazing may Allah make her mine" I told myself, as I rented a bike cycle to make my way to the park, "Hey Adam, you look nice today!" "Thanks Bahir, you yourself look great" "So what did you do today in the early morning?" "I went praying in the mosque and did istkhara which inshallah Allah will make her mine, she's very beautiful" "Yeah she is" "And what did you do?" "Ooh I woke up before my sister so I made her a cup of tea and woke her up for the prayer that's all" "Great" , as Bahir was talking I don't know why I zoned out for some reason I didn't see her in front of me Amira , I bumped into her the coffee splashed all over her shirt I quickly untied my hoodie off my waist and gave it to her telling her "I'm really sorry hayati I was zoned out for a second and didn't see you" "I need to go to class now thanks for the change I'll give it back" she rushed aside and waved goodbye, as I was standing there just smiling at how beautiful she is, "So hayati?" "What!?" "You said it while you were apologizing ,I'm sorry hayati...." I could help but feel my cheeks turning red "So hayati are you in love or what" said Bahir jokingly knowing that I loved her from the moment I laid my eyes on her, "Don't we also have to rush to class we're also late you know" I told him, we rushed down the hallway to catch up with the class we were about 8 minutes late "We're sorry for being late Mister Anas" "Apologize accept now take a seat" , as we saw the other class sitting right next to us "Amira!?" I said in a low tone "She really looks great in my hoodie" I told myself, after what seemed forever we finally class was over, I felt someone tapping on my shoulder "Hey Adam, thanks for the hoodie" "Ooh it's not a big deal plus your killing it, it looks greater on you then it does on me, seems from now on I'll call you cutie" "Oof did I just say that how embarrassing am I" I thought, she giggled telling me "It's cute how you try to impress me Adam, but you're already great the way you are, okay I have to go see you Adam" "See you Amira".
Finally back home I'm really tired as I heard my phone ringing "Unknown Number" I wondered who could it be I picked myself back to together and picked the phone "Hello?" "Hi Adam it's me Amira I got your number from Bahir" "Bahir?" "Yeah Bahir I'm at he's house doing the project with his sister" "Ooh okay hope you and her get a great grade on the project" "Thanks Adam, I just called you to tell you that I might give you the hoodie on Sunday" "Right tomorrow is Friday, Okay sure" "Okay, bye Adam" "Bye Amira".
I was getting ready for bed and the last prayer, as I was putting the prayer mattress and she came to mind again wearing my white hoodie I couldn't even get her off my mind so I mentioned her in my prayer "Ya Allah, let her be everything I need in this dunya and akhirah and let her be my lawful woman, as I laid my head down on the mattress just to take a quick rest.
"Good morning honey, I made you breakfast and a cup of coffee" I turned to the other side to open my eyes and see her "Good morning sweetheart" as I kissed her forehead and got up to give her a hug "Wash your face and come to the kitchen" "Okay sweetie" after washing my face I made my way to the kitchen and saw a cute simple breakfast "So what do you think?" I turned to her smiling as I took her hand and kissed it "Thank you Allah for giving me her" she giggled and told me to "Wake up honey". I slept till 8 am but stayed in my bed for awhile thinking of my dream "Was that a sign?" I asked myself as I rolled up from my bed and went to shower, I couldn't stop thinking about the dream while I was showering, she's really a gift from Allah. While I was getting ready to leave home and go to the mosque I thought why not put a little scent of perfume, I had water in one of my hands and Quran on the other, halfway through I saw someone that looks similar to Amira I was wonder if I should call out but didn't of course since I didn't want the others to get a bad image about her, but I heard her say in a low tone "Hey Adam" "Ooh hey Amira are you also going to the mosque?" "Yup I'm going there my parents always go there and plus we made plans to go back to their home and have breakfast" " Ooh your parents send them my salam" "Of course I will see you" " See you" but I didn't notice that we already arrived to the mosque guess I was to enchanted by her words, I shrugged it off my shoulders smiling while entering the mosque "Asalam ealaykum bunay" "Wa alikum alsalam" "You seem so happy today, may Allah keep that smile on your face, and may I know your name?" "My name is Adam" "Good to see you Adam my name is Hafeez" "Nice to meet you mister Hafeez, I think we have to go stand behind the emam before it gets take" "Sure bunay let go" "before you" I said he smile and said "You're really a great man may Allah grant you everything you need" I smiled as well as we made our way behind the emam when he started the prayer ,after 5 minutes when it ended the man invited to his house saying "If you don't have any plans for a few hours can I invite you to my house" I paused for a second "Yeah I don't have any plans today sir I would be delighted to come over and have breakfast" "I would be more" as we made our way out of the mosque I saw her again waiting for someone "Baba, I see you have met my classmate Adam" "Your her classmate?" "Well actually I'm a year over her but yeah we are classmates" "My dear, Adam will come with us to eat breakfast is that alright with you darling?" "Yes of course Baba he could come the more people the more joy our breakfast will have", as he was talking I could help but catch a glimpse of her focus on her father while he was talking, smile, shaking her head, and catching a breath of fresh air, "We arrived"said Mister Hafeez "Please make yourself at home don't be shy" "Yes of course Mister Hafeez and thank you again for the invite" I made my way inside the house and first thing I noticed were painting hanging up on the wall "Wow" "You like them" "Yeah they really caught my attention when I walked in" "That's great, good to know, you want to know who did this paintings?" "Yeah sure I'd be pleased to know" I said curiously "My daughter Amira she comes up with ideas and first starts sketching them on a canvas then paints them in every color that comes to her mind" "Mashallah your daughter is really a gift from Allah" I paused a little revising what I just said "Yeah she is a gift from Allah he gave her the beauty, the creative and the smartness but most importantly he gave her the strength in her Iman" "Habib come over and take plaits and utensils and put them on the table" "Of course coming honey" I rushed to help them out "Ooh who's that handsome man?" "Karima this is Adam, Adam this is my wife" "Nice to meet you mama" "Ooh what a gentleman can you help us?" "Sure auntie" "Okay take the tray off food and but them on the table sweetie" I went and placed them on the dining table with Mister Hafeez and told him "She is beautiful" "I know, I would give her my world and life to see her smile and never sad" "that's beautiful" "So Adam do you have anyone in mind ?" "Well yeah she means the world to me and as you said I would give her my everything to see her smile" but I got half way through by someone knocking on the door Mister Hafeez told me "To go and check who it is" it was Bahir and he's sister, I opened the door and Bahir was surprised to see me "hey Adam jummah mubaraka how are you my man?" "Great jummah mubaraka to you and your sister come in we are just getting started "good morning uncle and untie how are you and how is Amira?" "Everyone is good alhamdulilah" "Alhamdulilah" "Please step in and join us at the table" we all ate ,laughed ,and giggled ,until I noticed Amira wasn't smiling she was instead worried, or sad I didn't know what wrong but I didn't want it to be obvious so I excused myself to the bathroom and texted her "Are you fine, at one point you were smiling and now you seem said did I do something wrong?" Her phone got the notification and excused herself as well to the bedroom and saw it it took her a minute to respond but she said "It's nothing really" "Please tell me Amira what's wrong, I'm worried!?" "It's my father he has promised me to someone long time ago and now I can't be in love with anyone because it feels like I'm betraying that person who I don't even love, I just want to be happy with the person I love" "Okay I get it" "Thanks Adam you really made me feel better"she made her way first to the dining room and then I did a few minutes after "Thank you auntie this was a great breakfast!" "Well don't only thank me thank Amira as well she helped me cook" "Thanks Amira the breakfast was delicious 10/10 my compliments to the chef" she smiled and giggled, at the moment while we were taking the dishes to sink I thought to myself "Isn't she the one who will spend the rest of her life with the man and not the parents why can't she choose for herself?" "Adam" Said Hafeez "You seem to be zoned out is there a problem?" "No I just go a call I need to go" "Okay let me guide you out door" "okay uncle" we made our way out but before I let I told him with all honesty "She should be the one to choose since she'll be the one who'll be spending the rest of the life with him with that person" he got furious shouted for me "To get out of his house!" I carried on my way and and didn't look back since I was both mad and sad I couldn't hold my tears in any longer so I called my mother she picked up I started complaining and didn't ask her how she was or how her Friday was going I reached home and throw my phone on the couch and cried my heart out I couldn't stop my tears from falling one after the other rush down my face after two hours when I finally calmed down I checked my phone there was a message from my mother "Hayati I know life is hard and sometimes cruel but Allah is putting pressure on the people he loves the most and just think about it to every negative thing happening there is always a positive thing you'll gain from it Albi, may Allah protect you from everything evil ya Albi, good night love xo". I was just sitting on the floor next to my bed and fell asleep. "Adam come on get up sweetheart and sleep on the bed you'll feel more comfortable as she kissed me on the cheek, I woke up suddenly and looked at my phone it was 00:00 am I got a notification from Amira "I had an argument with my family and I just need to talk to someone and I know it's stupid or I'm stupid but thanks for telling him that" "No darling you're everything but stupid, you're gorgeous, smart, beautiful ,and the most artistic person I've ever met" after what about seemed forever she answered and told me "He might of changed he's mind, I'm very grateful about that" "Yeah well I wanted to give him a piece of my mind in a nice way possible so that's all" "Thanks Adam like really I don't know what to do without you, you're like my savior at my darkest hour's and my hero when I need someone to take my mind of stuff" those words were enough for me to get butterflies and understand that she loves me too or maybe more than I do, we kept talking until 4 am and on of us end leaving the other on read from who tired she was so I prayed again and asked for help to make her my wife.
Next day, Saturday somewhere around 12pm I heard a knock on the door I got up to check who it is and it was Amira's father I quickly cleaned up myself and open the door and said "Good morning Mister Hafeez, how may I help you?" "I want to talk to you can I enter?" "Sure come in do want coffee or tea before we start?" "Tea please" I was on my way to the kitchen and texted Bahir "Dude Amira's father is at my house don't come he wants to talk to me" "Oof what he's where at your house damn I would have never thought that would happen" "Okay I have to go right now, bye" I went back to the living room and placed the cup of tea in front of him when he said "Adam what would you do to get my daughter?" "I would kill and give my life just to be with her" "Great and what will you do to keep her happy?" "I would get her the stars and moon just to see her smile" "Tayab, if so then you have my right to marry my daughter" "Wait really!?" "Of course I would also like to see my daughter happy yesterday I had an argument about you with her and she yelled and told me don't I want to see her happy so let me marry who I want!, and now I allow you to be her husband in law but she doesn't know I went her without her, so it's a surprise for her, I told my wife to tell her to dress nicely and put some make up on" "thank you very much this means the world to me having your daughter made me the happiest man alive" he told me "to go and wear a suit and on our way we'll get roses" so halfway through I couldn't help but think about her reaction seeing me instead of that man holding a bouquet of roses, I'm really getting the butterflies I was the one who knocked on the door with the bouquet covering my face and I heard her mother tell her to go and open the door, she thought the bouquet of roses was for her mother and told her "Mama, Baba brought you a bouquet of roses!" When I slowly uncovered the bouquet off my face, she was in shock but yet blushing "You look so handsome Adam" "from now on you can call him you husband if you agree to marry him and have him as your other half?" "Yes of course I agree" as she held the bouquet of roses in her arms and invited me in I was sitting in the living room just watch the twenty third episode of friends on tv when she came in with her mother holding a tray of tea and one off them look odd but I know that was a test for me to see if I'm willing to go with her through the rough and sorrow times, I of course drank it with saying anything and then afterwards told Amira "Thanks for the tea it was delicious hayati" she definitely blushed when she heard me say hayati in response she told me "You're welcome albi".
