Malika & Halima

15- Thoughts

Halima

Halima took a deep breath as she stood outside the venue where she was supposed to meet Muhammad for their date. Her heart raced with a mix of excitement and nervousness. She had decided to give him a chance, trusting her instincts and hoping for the best.

She looked at her blue straight dress and a matching grey veil that Malika chooses it for her. It is simple and elegant for a dinner date.

With a sigh, she walks to the front door. Here it goes!

As she entered the restaurant, Halima scanned the room, searching for Muhammad. Her eyes landed on him sitting at a table near the window, a warm smile on his face. He stood up as he saw her approach, pulling out a chair for her.

"Halima, you look stunning," Muhammad said, his voice filled with genuine admiration.

Halima blushed, feeling a flutter of excitement in her chest. "Thank you, Muhammad. You look great too."

They settled into their seats, engaging in light conversation as they perused the menu. Halima found herself enjoying Muhammad's company, his intelligence and wit shining through their discussions. She felt at ease with him, her initial unease slowly fading away.

"So...tell me more about your family." Muhammad asked as the waiter put down there food.

Halima move on her seat before looking back at him. "Well, my Dad is  running his own steel company and my Mom is an entrepreneur. She do all sort of businesses.

"Wow, they're very hard working."

She nodded before sipping on her lemonade. "What about you?"

Muhammad gave a sad smile, he picks a white hanky and clean the side of his mouth which Halima finds it sexy.

"I lost my parents since when I was a kid, I have to live with my paternal uncle which he later died. So in short, I was kinda alone until now.."

Halima's face softens. "Am so sorry. May there soul rest in Peace."

"Ameen."

"Enough of the sad moments. Tell me more about yourself."

As the evening progressed, Muhammad surprised Halima with his thoughtfulness. He listened attentively to her stories and shared his own experiences, creating a connection between them.

Halima couldn't help but be drawn to Muhammad's charm and sincerity. She found herself laughing at his jokes and feeling a sense of comfort in his presence. It was as if they had known each other for much longer than just a few weeks.

"-then I decided to just lecture at the university." He finished.

"Wow, you know I was so shock and confused seeing you the first time in my commercial class. The coincidence was just too much."

"I vividly remember how you looked." He chuckled. "My charms was just too much for you." He teased and she roll her eyes smiling.

As dessert arrived, Muhammad reached across the table and took Halima's hand gently in his own. "Halima, I have to be honest with you. I was initially drawn to your intelligence and beauty, but spending time with you has shown me that there is so much more to you than meets the eye. I feel a deep connection with you, one that I haven't felt in a long time."

Awwwwn...

Her heart skipped a beat, emotions swirling inside her. She had not expected to feel this way on their first date. But as she looked into Muhammad's eyes, she saw sincerity and vulnerability, and she couldn't deny the growing attraction she felt.

"Muhammad, I appreciate your honesty," Halima said softly. "I have to admit, I was hesitant about going on this date, but being with you tonight has changed my perspective. I feel a connection too, and I want to see where it leads."

Muhammad smiled, his eyes sparkling with joy. "I'm glad to hear that, Halima. I believe that sometimes unexpected surprises can lead to the most beautiful experiences."

And in that moment, Halima realized that love had a way of finding its own path. She had taken a chance, trusted her instincts, and allowed herself to be open to new possibilities. As they continued their date, she knew that this was just the beginning of their journey together.

Meanwhile, Malika sat at home, anxiously awaiting for her sister's return. She had spent the evening deep in thought, reflecting on her own situation with Omar and her dream about Adam. The conversation with their grandfather had given her hope, but she knew that there were still challenges to overcome.

There grandfather told them that he will come back to Morocco after his Umrah and discuss it in details because his not understanding what they're saying. Malika is so desperate and she feels like it forever.

As the front door opened and Halima walked in, a smile on her face, Malika couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. "How did it go?" she asked eagerly.

Halima's smile widened as she sat down next to Malika. "It was amazing, Malika. Muhammad surprised me in the best possible way. He was thoughtful, kind, and made me feel like the most important person in the world. I think I'm falling for him."

Malika's eyes lit up with joy. "That's wonderful, Halima! I'm so happy for you. Love has a way of finding you when  least expect it."

Halima nodded, her heart filled with gratitude. "You were right, Malika. Trusting my instincts and giving him a chance was the best decision I could have made. Love is a beautiful thing, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes me."

The sisters embraced, They knew that they had each other's backs, supporting and cheering each other on as they navigated the complexities of love and life.
