My Halal Boyfriend

Part :15

Maha was writing replies to each of Saad's letters in that diary. This one was his fourth letter in 5 months, 5 months since he discovered about this interest of her.

She opened Saad's letter and started reading it.

My Scarlet,
As I sit today, all the beautiful memories we created together gather in my mind, giving me the sense of warmth of your love. I feel blessed every time I remember I have YOU in my life, by my side. Every time I see you, I realise how much Allah loves me.

Your smile, your warmth, your voice, your chuckles, going out together, eating together, meals cooked by you, your smell I'm going to miss every single thing so much in the coming days, I don't have ideal words to explain that. What I'll miss the most is how your cheeks turn red when you blush. Your blushed state, especially when I realise I'm the reason behind it makes me feel not only butterflies but a whole zoo in my stomach. We might not talk too much when we are together, but just your presence is enough to make me feel home. I don't know when you became an inseperable part of my everything from just a stranger who mom desperately wanted as her daughter-in-law. Now I know why they say moms know what's best for their children even before them.

I have no idea from when exactly I am so in love with you. But I know, every moment with you is a treasure. I never felt lonely earlier in my life. But now I feel some strange emptiness in my chest when you're not around. You have spoilt me so much already, even before moving in. I'll take a good revenge for sure.

I would never leave you for such a long period of time if it wasn't for us. I seriously don't know how I'm going to live without seeing you for so many days, love.

My sweetheart, I feel just so lucky to know that you are mine.

I love you more than words can say. Thank you so much for sharing your love, your life with me. My queen, I'll miss you beyond your imaginations too.

Don't forget to take care of my cute wifey.

Take lots of hugs and kisses. I'll kidnap you and take you along if I get to know you shed even a single tear.

Yours,
Saad.

A chuckle rose her throat and her cheeks burnt. Maha held the letter close to her heart closing her eyes after planting a kiss on it. Every effort Saad made to see her happy flutters her.

After a while, she grabbed her diary to write the reply of this letter. Saad was totally unaware that Maha was writing a reply to each of his letters. She always thanked him and talked to him about the letters almost instantly after reading it as they met frequently and talked everyday.

Maha and Saad would meet sometimes at either of their homes. Sometimes they would go on dates. They both always preferred minimal street food dates or coffee date over the fancy ones.

Sometimes they would just sit in some quiet place. Maha would make lunch and visit Saad at his office sometimes. Saad would be found in front of Maha's university's gate sometimes.

They spent their time together just like any other couples dating do nowadays. They would fight over things sometimes, but always resolve it as soon as possible. When one would be angry, the other would stay calm and wait for the other to calm down. None ever raised their voice even a bit in fury.

Out of their uncountable dates, one was unexpectedly a bit more special than others.

It was a rainy day and the couple was supposed to meet at a cafe in the evening. But it started raining heavily as the sun set. Maha got ready and got out to reach for the cafe.

On any other day, Saad would have picked Maha, but this day as he had a meeting, Maha assured him that she'll come by herself.

Maha was waiting to find and hop on some vehicle, but due to heavy rain she found none even after waiting for a long time.

She twitched her lips and started walking further to find something. On this rainy day, after so much struggle she reached the cafe thinking she was late and Saad must be waiting for her. But he was nowhere in the scene. She waited for sometime in the cafe's parking where they were supposed to meet and then she decided to check on him by calling.

On call~
"Assalamu alaikum, Maha. How are you?" he said enthusiastically as he received the call in the second ring laying on his bed.

"Wa alaikum assalam Saad. Where are you?" She asked concerned.

"I'm at home. What happened? Anything wrong?" He sat up catching her worry and distress.

Her eyebrows formed a line as she scrunched them and spoke "You're at home? Weren't you supposed to come directly from the office?"

"Come where? Where are you?" His tone reflected his confusion.

"Saad how can you forget? We were supposed to meet at the cafe today. I have been waiting for so long and you are taking rest at home!!" Exasperation evident in her demeanor.

He stood up from his bed immediately and headed towards the entrance of his home, "Oh Allah! I'm so sorry Maha. I'll come right away. Please don't be angry."
