The Hijabi's Convertee

chapter 10

*******

After praying, we walked back to Queen's cafe and decided to call it a day

After Fatima sorted somethings out we walked out of the cafe

" It's time for lunch and I'm hungry" Abdullah said looking at his wrist watch

" I know a good restaurant nearby" Fatima said

" Then what are we waiting for, let's go" I said to them pulling Fatima towards the car

The guys went to their car as well and with Fatima's instructions we reached the restaurant

It was nice looking from outside
Beside the name of the restaurant read 'حل ل '
Meaning halal

The guys met up with us and we walked in

"That's a good table" I said to them, pointing at a table for four by the window

It had a pair of two sitter chairs facing each other and a table was in-between

We all walked there and Fatima and I sat on one of the chairs and the guys took the other

Soon a waiter approached us

" Good day, what can I get for you" the waiter asked and we all picked up the menu, making our orders

" I'll be right back with your meals" the waiter said after taking our orders

" I think the place is quite cool and cozy" I said making a remark about the restaurant

"Yup not bad " Abdullah said and Iqraam nodded

" I told you guys it's a good one, are you doubting my judgement" Fatima said pouting at us

" Of course not" Abdullah said and I shook my head indicating no

Our food arrived soon and we all started eating

******

After lunch, Abdullah and Iqraam went somewhere else while me and Fatima decided to go to the mall

We want to get gifts for Ismail and his bride and everyone else

We soon reached the mall and took the elevator to go to the next floor as the gift shop was there

Upon entering the gift shop, a shop attendant came to us, smiling

" Good day, how may I help you?" The shop attendant asked us kindly

" We want to get gifts for family members" Fatima replied to her

" Come with me" she said taking us inside of the store

We followed her until she came to a stop

" You may look around here" she said showing us racks with different types and sizes of gifts

We began looking around and after 2hours we were able to find the perfect gift for everyone

Walking towards the counter were the cashier was, we paid for the gifts and gave them the address to send them to

******
After shopping, we got bubble tea on our way out of the mall

We made our way to the parking lot, got in the car and drove home

We showered and got dressed into something comfortable

After that we made our way to the balcony

"Let's cut the cake" I said bringing out the chocolate cake from it's package

" I'll go get what we need " Fatima said running towards the kitchen
And soon she came back with a knife, plate and fork

We cut out two slices of cake and began eating

" Hmmm, this is delicious" I said moaning

Fatima hummed a reply as her mouth was filled with Cake

"It's my recipe, of course" Fatima said making me chuckle

We continued eating while talking about random things and soon it was time for Asr

We went upstairs to my room, performed our Wudhu and prayed there
We were the only ones at home

After praying we picked up Qur'an from the shelf and started reciting

We recited till it was late in the evening

We made our way downstairs to the living room

" As Salam alaikum"
We heard our parents say while we were walking down the stairs

" Wa alaikumus Salam" we answered back moving towards where they stood by the door

" Oh, girls, how was your day" My mum asked us, smiling

" It was delicious, Alhamdulilah " I chirped wriggling my brows
And they all chuckled

" Don't mind her, it was good" Fatima told them, smiling with twinkly eyes

We all walked to the living room and settled down

" So you guys are traveling on Tuesday for Ismail's wedding " I stated

" Yes dear" Mrs. Abubakar, Fatima's mum replies to me

" You girls, have you prepared your gifts for them?" My mum asked her gaze on me and Fatima

Fatima and I looked at each other before I answering her

" Yes we did, lots of gifts" I said grinning

" Mhm" Fatima hummed also grinning

We bought a lot of gifts today, the gift shop had to call us telling us it would arrive tomorrow only

"Okay dear that's good" Mrs. Abubakar said and my mum nodded approvingly

" As Salam alaikum peeps" I heard from the door and saw Abdullah
I looked behind him but didn't see Iqraam

I felt a bit disappointed

I don't know why

" Wa alaikumus salam" everyone replied and I braking my trail of thoughts
I mumbled wa alaikumus salam under my breath

" How was your day" my dad asked him, smiling

" It was good, Alhamdulilah " he replied to him smiling back

" What about Iqraam" my mum asked, and that was the question in my heart

" He's got some stuff to take care of" Abdullah said answering mum

We all talked some more
And soon it was time for Maghrib prayer, we all prayed and Abdullah lead the prayer

We had dinner and prayed Isha afterwards

Fatima and her parents left for their house after Isha prayer

I went to my room upstairs

I took my phone out to call my PA, Reya

"As Salam alaikum " I said and I spoke to her about the hotel and we discussed the progress of the dresses for the fashion show
I draw the designs but I don't make the dresses

After I finished speaking with her
I went to my closet to pick my pajama and went to the bathroom to freshen up and changed into pajama
