The Hijabi's Convertee

chapter 8

" Oh really " I said bemused, with a smile planted on my face

" Mhm" she hums as a reply and I went to pick the keys of the car

We both have same type of cars

I put my thumb on the fingerprint scanner and the key rack opened to show a display of car keys
I picked the one I wanted and it closes back

We went closer to the car and leaned on the bonnet waiting for Abdullah and Iqraam

Soon, we saw them making their way in and Abdullah went to pick a car key, they chose to ride a Hummer

" Shall we?" Iqraam asked looking at me as they made their way to the car

"Yup" Fatima said popping the p

And I just avoid his eyes or looking at him

They got in the their car and Fatima and I did the same

They drove out first, followed by me and Fatima
My jaguar roared as soon as we were out of the gates, speeding past but not exceeding the limit

Iqraam's POV

We were on our way to Queen's cafe owned by Ms. Fatima to taste her new recipe

I watched as her jaguar drove past us and I was surprised that she was able to drive like that, like a racer

I was surprised to see how well and beautiful she grew, last I saw her she was still very young in year 1 of highschool
But she doesn't remember me much

I went abroad for University after highschool but kept in touch with my best friend, Abdullah

I came back to the country to be appointed as the new CEO of M&K holdings, we pretty much run the real estate market of the country, owning estates and apartment buildings and luxurious hotels and resorts in the country and abroad

I also came back home to convert to Islam

I was originally born to Islam because my father is Muslim but I chose to be an atheist( one who doesn't believe in any religion) like my mom but she's also starting to see Islam in a different light and hopefully she would convert soon

My parents always fought while I was younger and got separated for some time, I grew up with my mum and couldn't practice Islam much but my parents are back together now and they're happier than ever

Alhamdulilah, I was guided into Islam and I'm grateful to Allah for that

Yesterday when I told my best friend about me converting, he was happy for me and his family was too

And to crown it all up I learnt Arabic language in my younger years so it's easier to read the Quran and understand it with the help of Abdullah

I stayed overnight at Abdullah's and his parents are welcoming, his dad thought me more about Islam and I'm grateful to him for that

This morning, after tahajjud and Fajr
I made my way to their kitchen to drink water after asking for permission

I was drinking water when I heard someone cry out in fright and I heard Abdullah and his sister Malika speaking
I went closer to them to know what was wrong when Malika turned around so fast I didn't have the chance to move back and she crashed in my chest
When she moved back her nose was all red and she looked so cute and she pouted unknowingly making her look much more cute

I felt my heart flutter and it was a strange feeling
And when I smiled at her, her cheeks became pink, she was blushing, and then she ran upstairs so fast
I almost couldn't take my eyes off her back, looking at her as she ran

" C'mon let's head to the gym" Abdullah said breaking my trance and I nodded

We made our way to the gym and exercised for an hour before sitting down to catch up and then we decided to get fresh when one of their maids can to tell us breakfast was almost ready

When we were ready we made our way to the dining hall and I greeted Mr and Mrs Omar, although they insisted I call them mum and dad saying I'm family now

We waited a bit for Malika and her friend and when they came in
I couldn't help but stare at Malika she was looking very beautiful, she's a natural beauty, I could see the only make up she had on was eyeliner and lip balm but her beauty was mesmerizing nonetheless

She didn't speak to me during breakfast and she kept on avoiding my eyes and I wondered why

After breakfast when Ms. Fatima offered to come taste her new pastry I didn't decline to go even though I don't like sweets

I thought maybe it could give me the chance to ask Malika if I did anything wrong to her

******

We are on our way to Queen's cafe and I was in a Hummer with my best friend

" She's driving a sport car we get it" Abdullah, my best friend, remarks at how Maliks sped past us and I chuckled

I don't like to talk much except it has to do with business or I'm with family and friends

" When is the official announcement about you taking over your dad's company" he asks me

" On Tuesday" I replied curtly, I've been in the country for a while now and I've been getting used to being a CEO, the announcement on Tuesday is just to let the world know

" Okay, man congratulations in advance?" He said to me smiling and I knew he was happy for me

" Thanks bro" I said giving him my own smile and he shook his head

"Anytime " he said and we continued talking till we got to Queen's cafe, I looked beautiful, we could see the inside from the large glass wall

Malika and Ms. Fatima already got here before us and I wasn't surprised
I saw the way Malika drove and it was pretty fast

We made our way in and the bell on the door rang indicating a new customer

"Over here" Ms Fatima called out to us and we went over to where they were

Hi guys, Hope you're liking the hijabi's convertee?

I'm so sorry the chapters are messed up but it's really not my fault, Wattpad has technically issues or bugs, I don't know but whenever I try to rearrange the chapters, it doesn't get any better

I can only try to publish a chapter every three days as promised but other than that I don't think I can fix the technical issues Wattpad has
