The Way He Loved Me

chapter 4- icy eyes

If you haven't prayed your salah yet, do so, this book can wait but your obligations to Allah cannot.

Please keep me in your duas, and pray for the ummah.

"The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception." (Quran; 3:185)

Deen over Dunya everyday. (faith over this world everyday), don't fall for the temporary pleasures when you could have eternal pleasure in paradise.

Ameera's POV:

I ran into the women's side, hyperventilating out of embarrassment.

"Ameera! Wait up," I heard a girl's voice call out from behind me, it was Hajira.

I spun around, this time I was careful not to fall, and I saw Hajira running towards me.

"I am so sorry about what just happened, I tried to catch up behind you as fast as I could," she said, breathing hard from running.

"It's not your fault, it was mine, I shouldn't have been running in a crowded room in the first place-" I tried to say but she interrupted me.

"-- I feel responsible though, because that was my brother! I don't know what has happened to Bhaiya just now, he's never like this. I can't defend what he did,  but please don't hold it against him though. I am sorry on his behalf!" Hajira told me, her face full of concern.

That was her brother? Oh. That's why his eyes looked familiar, but his were cold and icy, Hajira's eyes were kind and understanding. Though I didn't really know what he looked like,  I wasn't focused enough to.

"Hajira, relax, I'm fine, I promise! And though neither of you did anything, you are forgiven, and so is your brother, I would never hold something against you both," I said, trying to reassure her.

Her tensed expression relaxed, "Alright, I'm going to go talk to someone, I'll be back before you know it!"

We both said salams and I turned went our ways.

"OH MY GOD," I said, running to Fawzia.

" 'Oh my god' what? Also what happened to your abaya?" Fawzia asked me.

"You mean my abaya?" Aisha asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Ashu (Aisha's nickname), I'm sorry! I tripped because the abaya is too long for me, and the chai I was supposed to get for Fawzia got all over it," I said lowering my head.

Being my 5ft 2in self, abayas were always way too long for me, and I was always tripping in them.

"Meeru, It's okay! Do you think I could ever get mad at my little sister?" She said pinching my cheeks. (i had my niqab off cause it was the women's only room)

"STOP THAT!" I said blushing out of embarrassment, smacking her hand away.

Aisha and Fawzia started laughing.

"Wait, you were going to tell us something else," Fawzia said reminding me."

"I don't think I want to anymore," I said pouting and crossing my hands like a 5-year-old.

"Come on, Meeru!!!" Aisha said pleading.

"Yeah, today's my wedding day!" Fawzia said joining in.

They both batted their eyelashes and starting saying: "PLeeeeease?!"
