I got home soon and freshened up before making my way to the kitchen
" As Salam alaikum" I said walking into the kitchen
Everyone was busy preparing one thing or the other
" Wa alaikumus Salam" they all replied
I made my way to the kitchen island and sat down
" What can I help with?" I asked looking around
" No need dear" mom replied and I nodded
I picked up an apple and got a knife and started peeling the apple, after that I sliced it and started eating
" Salam alaikum people" Abdullah said walking into the kitchen
" Wa alaikumus Salam" we all replied
" Hey princess" Abdullah said approaching me and he sat next to me
" Hey, how was work?" I asked
" work was okay" Abdullah replied and took my plate of apples
" Okay" I said and took my plate back
" No touching" I said referring to my plate of apples
I picked a slice of apple and ate it
" What's that" Abdullah asked pointing at something at my back and I turned to look at it
I saw nothing and turned back realizing he tricked me
My plate of apples was gone so was Abdullah
" Abdullah Omar get back here" I screamed and ran out of the kitchen
I saw him in the living room eating my apples and started chasing him
We kept running round the living room for a while
I stopped and bent on my knees panting
" What, you can run anymore?" Abdullah asked and I looked up at him
He was totally fine like he was taking a walk in the park
I really need to start exercising
An idea popped up in my head and I bent down and held my ankle
" Ouch" I called out as if in pain
" What happened" Abdullah asked in a worried voice and came to my side
" My ankle" I said and he dropped the plate of apples and bent to my level
" Tricked ya" I said and took the plate of apples, standing up and running to the other side of the room
" You little" Abdullah started
" What I learnt from you" I interrupted before he could say more
" Kids stop playing, go and get ready they're almost here" Mom said walking into the living room
" Okay mom" me and Abdullah said at the same time
" Good" mom said and we made our way upstairs

" Wa alaikumus Salam" we greeted Iqraam's parents as they walked into our house but there was someone behind them I couldn't see from where I stood
I already got dressed and the Musa's just arrived
" Welcome to our home" mom said and the parents exchanged pleasantries
" Hey man" I heard Abdullah say and turned to look at him
Shock was an understatement!!
He was back??!!
Iqraam was right there standing next to Abdullah and they were greeting each other
