AREEBA POV

I came downstairs and went to the kitchen "Areeba Miss Aiza is coming to fix the engagement date of Muskan so make some refreshments for Miss Aiza" I looked at Mama "Ok Mama."

Mama left the kitchen and I started preparing for refreshment, I made sandwichs, samosa, tea and for sweets bhai bought some gulab jamun.

After getting everything ready I went to my room and offered Zuhr prayer after offering prayer I did dua "Ya Allah Muskan is my only sister I love her please fill her life with happiness with Bilal bhai please Ya Allah" After praying I stood up from the mat, I folded the mat and placed it on the shelf.

As I was about to sit on my bed Ahmed Bhai came in my room "bhai" bhai came towards me and put his hand on my shoulder "do really want to go Korea for the job?" I hold bhai hand in mine "yes" bhai sat on the bed "areeba it's not easy to live in a country in which you don't know anyone so think again" I sat on the bed beside bhai "Bhai it's my dream and I'm chasing my dream I know it's not that much easy but bhai you always say na when we want anything we can get that if we give our 100% on that thing" Bhai looked at me "little idiot is literally saying big big words" i hugged bhai "bhai please don't be tensed because if mama sees you like this she will never let me go" bhai stood up from bed "when you are leaving for Korea then?" I also stood up from bed "1st of august."

"Have you started your packing" I looked at my closet "No" bhai folded his arm across his chest "Areeba you only have 19 days left" I looked at bhai "bhai I will do my packing soon"

bhai started walking in my room "Areeba you should hurry up because then Muskan's engagement is also going to happen" I was looking at my bhai how much he cares for me "Ok bhai " bhai stopped walking and stood in one place "Pack the medicine and everything else you need, okay?" I went closer to bhai and hugged him "bhai you are the best thank you bhai." Bhai put his hand on my head as I hugged him "Be happy my little idiot we all care about you."

Muskan Appi also came into the room and hugged us from behind "My brother and sister are getting emotional without me?" I looked at Appi "Appi" I started crying "Areeba why are you crying?" bhai asked me "I will miss you all" bhai and appi started laughing at me "our little idiot is still our little idiot" appi said to me.

I hugged appi and then mama came into my room "you all are here Ms. Aiza came, areeba come downstairs" I looked at mama "ok I'm coming" I went downstairs in the living room "assalamu alaikum" I greeted Ms. Aiza "Walalaikum Assalam Areeba" Ms. Aiza greeted me then I went to the kitchen to bring refreshment for Ms Aiza.

I returned to the living room with refreshments on the trolley. I offered tea to Ms Aiza "So Areeba any suggestions on engagement date?" I looked at Ms Aiza "idk anything about this" bhai came in the living room "how about 20th july?" Everyone looked at the bhai "Very good date Ahmed." Ms Aiza said to Bhai.

"Ok then kulsoom 20th July it is for the engagement ok?" I looked towards mama as Ms Aiza asked mama's suggestion "Aiza Muskan is your daughter now what you decide is going to be good for her."

"Ok then start doing preparation for engagement then because 20th July for engagement is good" I smiled and looked at mama then mama and Ms Aiza hugged each other and then Ms Aiza hugged me.

After an hour later Ms Aiza left and I rushed towards appi room "congratulations appi you're going to get engaged on 20th July" I hugged appi "appi I'm so much happy for you" we pulled away from the hug "btw Bilal Bhai is handsome" I teased appi "yeah he is" appi got blushed "look look someone is blushing" I giggled.

Appi lightly slapped my arm "Areeba shut up" I put my hand where Appi slapped me "Why should I Appi?" I looked at Appi "Now Appi you are going to be a bride" Api looked at me "I will miss you all" Appi hugged me "Appi don't you dare to get emotional" as I warned appi, my own tears came out. I quickly wiped those tears from my eyes and I pulled away from the hug "I have some work to do" I said in a sobbing voice and I left appi room and went to my room.

As soon as I got to my room, I sat on my bed and I started crying "I'm going to miss everyone too." I quickly wiped my tears.

I got up from the bed and went to my closet, I started packing the clothes that I want to take Korea.

As I was packing my stuff mama came in my room "what are you doing my love" I looked towards mama "mama I'm doing packing" mama came near me and hugged me "my lovely daughter just take care of yourself and eat properly" I kissed mama on the cheek "ok mama" mama take my hand in her hand "Ahmed told me you have your flight on 1st of august" I looked at mama hand that is squeezing my hand tightly "yes mama" I looked at mama again "mama just pray for your daughter" mama kissed on my forehead "areeba I always pray for my children I love you all my love."

"I know mama" a tear escaped from mama eye, I quickly wiped that tear from Mama's face "mama I love you but don't cry like that I can't bare that you know" mama put her hand on my cheek "it's the tear of joy my love btw areeba you should go tomorrow and do shopping I will tell Ahmed to take you out for shopping" I looked at mama with confusion "what shopping I already have a dress to wear on appi engagement" mama chuckled a bit "my lovely daughter you're going Korea so you don't want clothes for that" I giggled "ohh yeah you're right mama." Mama moved towards my closet "ask Maha too to come with you for shopping."

"Ok mama I will ask her" with that mama kissed my hand and left my room.

I moved towards my side table where my phone is I picked up my phone and called Maha, Maha picked up my call "assalamualaikum, Maha are you done with your packing?"

"Walaikum assalam, No I'm half way through there" I giggled "listen tomorrow me and Bhai going for shopping basically mama asked me to do some shopping for Korea so will you go on the shopping with me too?" I asked Maha "yeah I want to buy some things."

"Ok then I'll come tomorrow to pick you up from your place" I said softly "which time will you come?"

"Be ready at 5 o'clock" I told her the time "ok Allah Hafiz" I said to her "Allah Hafiz" I cut the call as Maha said Allah Hafiz.

I moved towards closet again and continue doing my packing.

It's 8 o'clock now and I got tired by doing packing so I went towards my bed and lay on the bed.

"It's to much tiring ahhh" I said to myself "btw Korea is my dream and I'm going there isn't amazing like Korea me" I started talking with myself "wow I'm so lucky like I did it wow good areeba good" I put my hand on my heart "my heart is beating so fast I'm so happy yayyy" I buried my face in the pillow and shook my feet excitedly.

"Areeba dinner is ready come downstairs" as mama voice came from downstairs I quickly got up from my bed and went downstairs.

I came downstairs and sat on the dinning table beside Muskan appi, we all were eating in silence after eating dinner I washed the dishes.

After washing dishes I went to the living where mama, Ahmed Bhai and muskan appi were sitting talking with each other, I sat beside mama "Ahmed tomorrow take areeba for shopping ok" Bhai looked at mama "ok mama I'll take this little idiot."

"Stop calling me that I'm not the little idiot anymore" appi put her hand on my head "you're our little idiot no matter what" I looked at mama "mama they are calling me little idiot" mama looked at them "stop calling my lovely daughter little idiot she's not idiot" i looked at Bhai and appi "yes" Ahmed Bhai and muskan appi laughed at me "our little idiot" they both tease me agian, I looked at mama "mama look they're still calling me little idiot" mama chuckled and lightly slapped on Bhai and appi head.

I laughed at them mama also laughed with me.

I came in my room,I prayed Isha prayer and after praying I sat on my bed and started reading quran.

After reading Quran I placed it on the shelf and I lay on the bed to sleep but I can't sleep because I was thinking about Korea "Korea is so beautiful" I said to myself "Allah thank you thank you very much."

After a while of thinking about korea I slept.
