Nadia's Pov:

I wake up around 5:00am, I pray Fajr Prayer, and then I enter the bathroom to take a shower around 6:30am, I come out and I start doing my skincare and finish, then I open my wardrobe to pick out an outfit for the day, I scan and scan and I settle with a black long sleeve shirt and black jeggings and a brown jacket with white shoes and black veil

so I go downstairs for breakfast, I meet Ummi, Abba, and surprisingly Anwar, honestly I didn't expect to see Anwar because I just feel he is still sad, and I haven't told Anwar about what transpired between Ayan and I, so I just walk to them with a smile obviously a fake one because I am nothing but happy right now
''Ummi ina kwana'' I greet her

"Lafiya lau Alhamdulilah" she replies

''Abba ina kwana, Anwar ina kwana'' I greet them both

''Lafiya lau'' Abba replies

''lafiya''

Anwar reply giving me a small smile, I sit down and eat breakfast, I ask Mairo to make coffee for me because I am going with it to the office, I get ready and Abba calls me to his palour.

''Nadia, I want to give you something because I trust you and I don't want you to misuse this opportunity I am giving you''

''okay Abba''

he hands me a car key ''Abba thank youuuu''

''you are welcome, and I feel it's better to  give you your car than driving Anwar's car sometimes if he's not going out, I feel it's inconveniencing''

''thanks Abba I am indeed grateful''
I hug him and I leave, I show Ummi and Anwar and I go outside to see an Audi A4, I get into the car and I drive to NITDA.

I arrive around 9:00am, I come out, close my car and I enter the building, and I do the necessities then I am given my table, I start working.

I continue working and I am introduced to a girl named Faiha, we are both serving, we continue working, around 1.

I leave my desktop to go and pray, Faiha is not praying so I just leave her, I pray then I decide to get something to eat around 2:30pm, I decide to order street 13, the order arrives and I go downstairs to collect my order from the delivery guy, so I collect it and on my way back, someone bumps into me

''watch it fool'' the man says rudely

''excuse, you bumped into me and you stand there and call me a fool?'' I defend myself immediately

''who do you think you are?" He says

I just walk away as I don't have his time, afterall it's his white suit that is stained, hehe, so I just enter our office and I meet Faiha on a call, so I just sit down waiting for her to finish

''okay no problem,'I will surely tell her,bye'' she ends the call and she faces me

''madam kin dawo ne?'' (Madam so you are back)

''yeah yeah come let's eat''. We sit down and we start discussing

"so Fatimah, tell me about your love life''
That question sent chills down my spine

''I actually don't have a love life, do you?"

"Actuallyyy... I am getting married next year''

''oh masha Allah, I am so happy for you, so who is the lucky guy?''

''his name is Muhammad and we met last year''

''oh Allah bada zaman lafiya''
( may Allah bless you with peace in your marriage)

she mutters an Ameen, we finish eating and we start working again, my phone starts ringing and I check to see Ayan calling me, I refuse to pick the call, he continued calling and stopped when he got tired

''who was that?'' Faiha asks me

''nobody important''

she simply nods in understanding and we continue working.

Around 5:30pm, we close, phew! Mehn today was stressful, I offer Faiha a ride but she declines saying her fiancée will pick her up, I simply smile and I drive off not without collecting her number.

I reach home around 6:03pm, yesssss! The traffic was that  hectic, so I just greet Ummi and I go to my room to freshen up, I enter my room, freshen up, I come out and pray before going downstairs for dinner.

I meet Abba and Anwar in the dining area eating
''Salamu alaikum, sannunku da zuwa''(peace be upon you all, and welcome back)

they simply nod , I sit down and we eat in comfortable silence till Abba breaks the silence
''Anwar you never got back to me about Salwa''

oh Gosh! Abba and wrong timing, I quietly wait for Anwar's reply

''Actually Abba we broke up''
his eyes red

''what happened?'' Abba further asks

''I just figured she's not the right person for me'' he curtly replies

''sorry I have to excuse myself because I am going to bed'' he says again

Abba simply nods in understanding, Ummi and I simply exchange looks and then look back at our food, so after dinner, Abba goes to the mosque.

Anwar prayed at home, I say goodnight to Ummi and Abba, I didn't bother talking to Anwar because I feel he needs space, so I just enter my room, pray and slip into dreamland.

A/N:
Hmmm! What do you think about Faiha?🤔
And Abba brings up Salwa, wrong timing indeed🥲
Hope you enjoyed!
