Veiled Emotions

CHAPTER-6

As alarm ringed, I woke up to pray tahajjud Namaz to connect with Allah and his blessings and for my Fahad to become mine. This is a secret that no one knows, that I wake early to pray tahajjud, as they know I love my sleep more than anything. But I can sacrifice my sleep to pray for us.

Then I freshened up myself and I performed my ablution. Then went to my room, put the prayer mat, and began my prayer. I felt a sense of peace and tranquility wash over me. The quiet night, which is so calm and still with no chaos present in it, makes me more focused on my prayer. Mein sajde mein roo padi hamare future ke liye.

Ya Allah, make me better for him in all the ways and make him better for me in all ways. Ya Allah, keep him far away from all women. Ya Allah, make my place in his heart. Ya Allah, please, Ya Allah, make us together. Ya Allah, write his name in my naseeb. Ya Allah, hum dono ko ek dusre ke nikkah mein bandiye. Ya Allah, mein aapki bandi, aapse meharbani karke apka nek bandon mein se ek, aapse aapka Fahad mang thi hoon. Ya meharbani karke meri dua qubool kar dijiye. Ya Allah, please. Ya Allah, please. Then I said ameen.

After completing my dua, I got up from sajda and continued my rakat. And again, in other sajda's, I prayed for my betterment, for my family's betterment, for my future, for my siblings, for Allah's ummah. Then I completed my Namaz and did my tasbeeh. After some time, I was feeling thirsty. I got up from my prayer mat and went towards my nightstand and saw my jug was empty. Ohh, ya Allah, now I need to go down to bring water.

✨✨

I woke to tahajjud as it's become my all-time habit to offer tahajjud namaz, and I love this habit of mine. I performed my ablution and then started my prayer after laying out my prayer mat. I prayed with all my focus as it was a peaceful night with calmness present in it. And one of my favorite habits is talking to Allah, which helped my heart, emptying it as I pour everything to Allah, what I have in my heart. I went down to sajda and started praying for my parents, siblings, family, my future, and ummah. And then I continued my important dua.

Ya Allah, make me enough capable for Haniya. Ya Allah, make me enough good for Haniya. Ya Allah, mujhe nek bana. Ya Allah, make my Haniya good for me. Ya Allah, make us good for each other to make a good couple. Ya Allah, unite us. Ya Allah, Haniya ku hamesha aapki hifazat mein rakhiye. Ya Allah, Haniya ku har buri nazar se hifazat farma. Ya Allah, hum dono ko ek dusre ke liye bana. Ya Allah.

I cried as I was praying, as I know Allah loves the person who asks all his wishes to Allah wholeheartedly. And I also knew Allah loves the person who prays for his parents, siblings, and ummah. And I also made my habit to first pray for my parents, siblings, and ummah, and then about us (us as in Fahad and Haniya). I continued my prayer and completed it. After completing, I felt calm and solace. I did my tasbeeh. After finishing it, I got up from my prayer mat and folded it. I looked out of my window. The weather was so perfect. I wanted to go out and take some fresh air, so I decided to go to the garden and sit for some time.

✨✨

I walked out of my room with an empty jug in my hand, and I was in my ehram (long scarf which we use when we pray). I was walking towards the stairs, then I saw Fahad's room door open (Fahad's room is just near the stairs). He came outside. We both were shocked seeing each other this early morning or you can say midnight. He was looking so dashing and handsome even in the midnight. What should I say now? Then I just spoke in my heart, ya Allah, protect him from evil eyes, ameen. After that, I wished, "Asalamualaikum."

I came out of my room, and as I came, I saw Haniya with an empty jug and she was in ehram. Like pure duniya jahan ka noor toh mere Haniya mein bassa hai. Haniya ka chahera toh noor se chamak raha tha.

Mein Haniya ke khayalon mein hi tha jab unhone ne mujhe itne pyaar se unke surily awaaz se salam kiya. I replied her, "Walaikumasalam," with a good smile on my face.

He replied with a good smile. After seeing that, I said in my heart, hayye mashallah, Allah nazar-e-bad se bachaye. Then I asked, "Itti subah kahan jaa re aap?"

Fahad replied with, "Itta acha mausam hai toh socha ki thodi der garden mein baithoon."

I asked her what she was doing in midnight. She replied with, "I was thirsty and jug was empty so I had go down to fill water."

I replied, "Ohh ok."

Then we both went downstairs. She went towards the kitchen. I also followed her as I also thought to drink a little bit of water. I drank water and saw Haniya also drank water while she was filling her jug from the filter. While the jug was filling, I asked her if she would like to join me in the garden.

She said she surely would like to join.

As he asked me to join him in the garden, I felt a whole zoo in my stomach. Oh my God, it would only be me and him in this awesome weather, that too in the garden. Then I came out of my thoughts as water was flowing from the jug. I quickly turned off the filter tap and replied that I surely would like to join him in the garden.
