"Hey how are you feeling?" Basma asked Najma after she was done saying her morning Azkhar. "Alhamdulillah!" Najma slurred as she stood up and folded the prayer mat.
"Come and sit down baby." Basma gestured her hand towards the bed. Najma sat down near Basma without saying a word.
"Najma I know no words in this whole world would be able to calm you down or make the situation better. But I also want you to know worrying about It won't solve the problem. Before complaining to God about how things fell apart, first look at how God made you happy. He made you happy by granting what you've been waiting to hear from Nabil."
"Najma we all know how you have been waiting for Nabil's reciprocal love. Now that you have It why are you not grateful?" Basma asked.
Najma let out a faint smile, "Basma I never thought I would feel this way the day Nabil would confess his feelings for me. How do I put what I feel into words? I felt like I was on top of the moon when Nabil confessed his love for me. But reality stuck me that moment. Nabil is a chronic wominzer and above all, my parents will never give us their blessings."
"Basma the whole situation is just so complicated, I'm just so scared. I mean, Nabil finally wants to give love another chance and........" Najma let her words trailed off as she palmed her face.
"Basma nothing is in the favor of our love, Nature is against us, the society is, my parents too. I don't know what to do. Right now what I'm really concerned about is getting Mummy to forgive me. Basma, I hurt her really bad. I could hear and feel her pains. I'm just a bad person..........."
"Shhhshhh, Don't say that Najma. Everything happens for a reason, Try to see this as a test, as they say nothing good comes easy. Just try to not get worked up over this whole situation." Basma declared.
A knock came from the door which cut off their conversation. "It's him Basma I know It." Najma declared with a racing heart. "Let me check." Basma declared standing up. "No please, I'm not ready to face him." Najma declared.
"Don't be such a coward, It's not the end of the world." Basma declared as she went to get the door.
"Latest boyfriend in town!" Basma squealed with delight, Najma shook her head and palmed her face. Nabil returned back the same energy, as they exchanged pleasantries.
"Have a seat, you can't just stand there like a stranger." Basma declared. He came in and sat down, stretching his neck as he glared at the living room.
"I know you are looking for your girlfriend, right? Well she's in the bedroom, let me get her!" Basma announced happily as she walked away leaving Nabil wondering how Basma is always energetic and elated.
"Hey girl, Will you go and face your man or I have to force you?" Basma asked with her hands at akimbo. "Basma I'm going to skin you alive today! You just wait and see. Why did you call me his girlfriend? He's going to think that I have accepted him." Najma palmed her face.
"Well we all know that you have accepted him in your heart." Bama declared. Najma threw a very mean stare at Basma that made her retract her statement. "Okay fine, Even If you haven't accepted him yet as you claim, Just go out and have a talk about the whole situation as the two adults that you are." Basma announced.
"Right!" Najma sighed. "But Basma I can't get his hopes high, even if I accept him wholeheartedly, My parents would never and you know that."
"What If God accepts him then? You know even Mummy and Baba would have to. Just give this a chance please. I know he makes you happy and I would want to see you happy forever." Basma declared.
"Alright." Najma let out a faint smile as she stood up and headed to the living room.
"Hey" She declared with a very low tone that you have to be very attentive in order to hear what she slurred.
