I wake up to the sound of my alarm, feeling a weight over my waist.

The weight being Faizan's arm.

I reach out my hand and turn off the alarm. I release a sigh and sit up, making Faizan's arm lay on my lap.

I turn towards Faizan's sleeping figure and can't help but smile at his peaceful face. I gently crease his cheekbones and move his hair from his forehead, trying to wake him up.

He slowly opens his eyes, squints them then looks at me.

"Time for fajr." I sign.

He nods and removes his arm from my lap. I get up from the bed, put my hair up and go to the bathroom to do wudu.

After I step out of the bathroom, Faizan goes to do his wudu. I walk in the closet to take out my hijab and two prayer mats.

I put on my hijab after placing the prayer mat on the bed.

I'm about to open my phone to check the direction to place our prayer mat when Faizan steps out of the bathroom.

He picks up the prayer mat and lays them down so I don't have to check the direction on my phone.

We both stand on our prayer mat, I give Faizan a smile and he returns a hint of his before we start offering Salah.

After offering Salah and making dua, Faizan takes my hand and does Dhikr on my fingers while I rest my head on his shoulder.

Warmth spreads through my body whenever his skin touches mine. I may have initiated the kiss on his cheek but he was the first one to interlock our hands together. It gave me the kind of safe feeling I never thought I'd experience.

He kisses my hand after he's done then kisses my forehead making me smile.

We stay on the prayer for a while before we decide to head back to bed for a nap.

Faizan folds our prayer mats and puts them back in the closet while I put away my hijab.

We both climb back in the duvet. He puts his arm back around my waist and pulls me closer so my back is flushed against his chest.

I close my eyes and quickly drift to sleep.

I wake up around 8:15 when my second alarm goes off. I turn it off and release a sigh.

Ammi and Abbu will bring breakfast to our house today and today is also the valima.

I carefully pull away Faizan's arm from my waist and get up to get ready. I take my clothes from the closet and go to the bathroom.

I take a shower and change into a pastel blue kurti and trousers.

I step out of the bathroom and find Faizan sitting on the bed, rubbing his eyes.

I wave at him when he sees me. He gives me a small smile and waves back.

"Ammi and Abbu will arrive around nine." I sign to him.

"Okay."

He gets up from the bed and goes to the bathroom.

I sit on my dressing table and get ready. Since it will only be us four, I let my hair down. I wear some silver earrings and rings on my fingers then pull out the necklace Faizan gave me last night.

My lips form a huge smile as I stare at the necklace around my neck.

I let my dupatta rest on my shoulder and get up to check my whole outfit.
