We enter the gate and are tackled into a hug by another one of our hyperactive friend Iqra and beside her is mahnoor.

Iqra is the bubbly , cheerful and happy friend of mine while mahnoor is well ...mahnoor

I mean call her savage queen. She always has the best comebacks.

So the four of us are bffs however none of our personalities match.

We are like cardinal directions - East,West,North and South .

"Assalamualaikum my lovelies" I say
" Walaikum assalam" they reply together

"All ready for exams Miss topper" Iqra asks me

" I guess"I reply being not really sure

I mean although I was up late yesterday night trying to fit everything in my brain but I don't even remember when I fell asleep

No matter how much you study some topics are always left behind.

"Oh! Were in the same room Iman" says Iqra

"I hope you'll help me " says Iman giving her sweetest smile

To which Iqra replies " yeah sure if I remember anything"

If anything Iman isn't the studious type .
I don't even know how she clears all her exams .

Mahnoor is quiet all this time and I go to ask her to which she simply shrugged and said later.

We finally said our goodbyes to each other wishing good luck and enter the exam hall .

I go and sit on my seat and the exam begins.

1hr

2hrs

And finally 3hrs

Oh and I'm done

let's not discuss much about the exam.

I come out of my exam hall and meet mahnoor

" hi Mahnoor how was your exam ??"I ask

" Don't ask me such things gurlll You know it's hard for me to answer such questions" she answers with a glint of mischief in her eyes

" Ahaan, Sure

By the way

This morning you said something later What was it about???" I ask

I see her facial expressions change

Her brown eyes lost somewhere,her face becoming sad

"Mahnoor What is it???"I ask

"Okay , Now that we are done with exam let's go somewhere quiet" says Mahnoor

We walk to the nearest coffee shop and order 2 cappuccinos.

"Well ...
Hayat you know how my mom has been searching for a partner for me"

"Yes , anddd " I say getting happy thinking about what's coming next

"My mom has been a member of WhatsApp groups with those proposals and stuff

And apparently someone is interested in me and they wanna come to meet me this Sunday."

"Okay,
So what's the problem???" I ask her

"Seriously... You are asking me what the problem is?" she gets annoyed at this point

"The problem is that you know I'm not the type who acts fake
I can't sit in front of them pretending to be the perfect daughter in law... I mean I am me"

"Okay mahnoor calm down.

Frst of all,
Nobody is asking you to act fake
Just be you I think you are stressed out. Listen just be postive.
You know Allah is the best of all planners .
It's better to simply go with the flow"

" You are right
Maybe I really am overthinking
If it's khair for me, then ok...
If not I pray that it be far away from me"

"Ameen "I say

"So shall we leave? Incase you've forgotten we still have exam tomorrow " I ask

"Oh right See u tomorrow then"says Noor

"Listen mahnoor
If you wanna talk about anything just know that u can say anything to me anytime. Ok??"

"Yeah.

Thnks hayat"



XOXO .

Surah-Anfal : The Qur'an 08:30

They plan, and Allah plans. Surely, Allah is the best of all planners.
