finding you- an islamic novel

five.

aaliyah

i left urgently at 4 saying my goodbyes to saraah and her family

my father called and asked where i was and honestly it makes no sense to me. you never cared about me at all and now all of a sudden when i'm almost grown you decide to try to be in my life again.

i try to hurry with tears in my eyes trying to contain it all and i don't know what to do anymore. as i'm a 20 minute walk away from my house i see a black car pull up while i'm speed walking.

suffyan.

"aaliyah" he yells out to me

i ignore him and keep going

"just get in the car il drive you home come on"
he continues this for 2 minutes non stop

"i'm almost home just leave it"
i repeat for the 5th time

he then parks the car and goes in front of me

"aaliyah get in the car"
"get in the car"
i've realized he's seen my state and i finally comply

the ride was long even thought my house was now like 2 minutes away

it was silent until i hear the car parked

"suffyan what do you think you're doing." i say getting mad

"what happened" he questions
"i'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's wrong why are you crying"

"i'm not doing this" i say and try to open the door to find out it's locked

"look, i don't know why you think we are friends or something but we aren't you aren't even supposed to be friends with girls 1 that's haram and 2 your just my friends brother that's it."
i blurt out not even realzing what is coming out of my mouth
"wait i'm sorry" i quickly reply but he's driving now

it was quiet, a very quiet ride to my house

once i arrived home he didn't spare me a glance once  i was leaving

"sorry" i say once again when i leave but i could tell this madness that he was going at right now was different than any other time i made him mad.

at home

once i arrive home i lock myself in my room and turn my music on.

until i could feel content in drowning myself in it. it's something that i can do to block out everything in my life.

being on my phone was a way for me to be distasteful and as i was scrolling through instagram i get a request.

akhiadam101 has followed you

i check his profile and see many things about him, he goes to the mosque every friday and even knows how to cook!

after contemplating following back i finally give in and follow back

new message.
this boy is a lot bolder online than irl.
