If you let me love you.. (Season II)

chapter fourteen

.
Reem's POV
.

This is really the best time of my day. Every morning I wake up, offer my salah and then come to sit on my most favourite spot of our house, that is the swinging chair in the balcony.

I sit here and read the Qur'an for some time, then I listen to the translation of chapters from the Qur'an while drinking vanilla milkshake, this is the most soothing time of the day.

After I was done with everything, I prayed to Allah, I had so much to ask for.

My hands were extended in front of me and I had my eyes closed, non stop I was asking Allah.

After I was done praying, I finally opened my eyes, I startled when I found Musa smiling at me, he was sitting just right in front of me.

"Ohho Musa! You scared me" I smacked his arm.

"I can't believe it" he said.

"Believe what?" I frowned

"You have become a better person after coming here, I have never seen you reading and listening the Qur'an like this" he said, I smiled.

"It's not true" I defended myself.

"Really?" He raised his eyebrows at me.

"Ok fine, when I shifted to Bangalore, mumma started sending me the Qur'an videos and would ask me question related to it later on, to make sure I was listening to it, I was not interested in it first, but now I love understanding the Qur'an, and I would strongly advise everyone to read it with the meaning" I said, he smiled and ruffled my hair.

"Some times you don't seem that bad at all" he smiled mischievously

"I wish I could say the same for you" I smirked, he got up and squeezed in on the chair with me, "Musaaaa! You are squeezing me" I shouted because of the lack of space

"Scoot over" he put his arm over my shoulder and relaxed.

"What do you want?" I narrowed my eyes at him

"Just want to spend some time with my darling sister" he said with so much love, it made me smile, I put my head on his shoulder like I used to do when we were younger.

Musa and I used to always be together, he always saved me from our Hitler mother's wrath, but we drifted apart when Musa chose to become a doctor, he was always so busy with studies, thank God Ayesha came by that time, otherwise I would have been really lonely.

Hamna, Ayesha and I had a really good university life. Ayesha used to get depressed a lot but I pulled her out of it all the time, only I knew Ayesha's secret.

She deserves the best guy in the world for her, who would keep his heart out for her, and I believe Musa is perfect for that, he can take care of her.

"What are you thinking?" Musa asked, I sat straight and shook my head.

"I wanted to thank you" I said

"For what?"

"To talk with mumma about my marriage" I said awkwardly.

"Oh!" He said, "Can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"Why are you running away from Hunny? If you have decided to marry him then you need to spend some time with him, so that you both can get to know each other" he said, and I got up from the chair, I was walking away, but he held my hand.

"Answer me" he said.

"Stop irritating me, Musa. Please. Why are you guys not getting that I'm not interested in talking about him, I was happy that you convinced mumma to delay the marriage, but here you are asking me stupid questions, I can't understand why does everyone's world start and end with Hunny." I let out my frustration.
