I checked the time: 9 am.
<<I woke up super late today!,Miriam's gonna kill me!>>
I immediately got out of bed and changed into my abaya,then I took my purse and ran to the car,I drove to the Masjid,only to know,Miriam's late!. That girl!.
<<Miriam! Where are you?!>> I texted her.
<<Im coming! I just have traffic,wait for me at the entrance,I'll be there in 20 minutes>>
I sighed and just went inside the masjid,I went to the library witch was on the second floor.
While I was going upstairs,I bumped into this man,dark hair,tall,skinny but not too skinny,dark brown eyes.
"Watch where your going next time" The man said coldly.
"Inshallah next time I will" I replied not looking in this man's eyes.
I moved and went upstairs,I could feel his eyes still on my back,that sent shivers down my spine.
I just took a seat beside a window and read an Islamic book.
<<Miriam it's been 20 minutes,
where are you?!>> I texted Miriam.
<<Im coming!>> she replied
<<Im at the library upstairs>> I texted.
<<Okay,coming>> she replied.
Eventually Miriam did come,and she hugged me from behind.

"Miriam! I told you to stop hugging me from behind unannounced!"

"Sorry,it's a habit" Miriam said chuckling

We eventually prayed two rakat's and then we prayed zuhr.
When we finished,I saw a familiar face,it was the man I bumped into earlier!.
"See that man? Dark hair,tall..."
"Yeah,why?"
"He's quiete rude"
"You know him?"
"No but i bumped into him earlier,and he glared at me"
"He's literally taller than you"
"Exactly!"
We exited the masjid after talking some more,when we were exiting,an elderly lady,came up to me.
"Assalamuwalaikum dear,could you please take care of my grandchild while I pray?" She asked.
"Walaikumassalam auntie,of course I can"
The elderly lady,smiled and handed me her grandchild.
I knelt down and looked at the beautiful young girl in front of me.
"Assalamuwalaikum,I'm Aisha,and you are?"
"Walaikumassalam,I'm Jameela" the young girl said with a soft tone of voice.
"What a pretty name,for a pretty lady" I smiled.
The little girl hugged me,and caught me by surprise.I hugged back of course.
Miriam went to grab some water from the vending machines.
The little girl ran behind me,when I saw the same man I bumped into earlier coming towards us.
"Assalamuwalaikum" I said
"Walaikumassalam,Jameela come on we have to go home" the man said turning to Jameela
"May I ask what is Jameela for you?" I asked
"She's my younger sister"the man said
"I won't let Jameela go with a stranger,you can wait for her grandma to pick her up"I said
The cold man groaned and just crossed his arms over his chest.
Eventually the elderly lady came back,and indeed the cold man,was Jameela's brother,his name,Ahmed Hamza.
