CHAPTER TWO

                         Nour Najim

It was already 7:30 and I was still home struggling to pick which abaya to wear,the sky blue one or the violet one
"Ya Allah why am I so complicated,there are better things to do than this"

with that thought I just got the sky blue one and went to get ready,I normally just have coffee and some cookies in the morning but now that i'm late i'll have to skip,yes i know,i woke up early for fajr but my eyes got heavy after i read Quran so yeah i kind of ummm took a lil morning nap,if that makes sense

"Mama,I'm leaving,I'm late,where are you ?"I screamed not seeing my mom around at all

"In the kitchen binty"
I went to the kitchen and saw her preparing my coffee ,my amazing mother,and I felt sorry

"Mama I can't drink the coffe,I'm late"I said with guilt
"It's fine habibti,I will pack it for you in your coffee cup with some cookies,how can I let you go just like that,hmm?"she said making me hug her
Nahibek mama,bazaf"(I love you so much mom).
"W ana habibti"she said kissing my cheek
"Ok here you go,you have to be on time" she said after breaking the hug and giving me the packed breakfast

"Ok mama,I will go now,fi amani Allah"I said kissing her forehead
"Fi amani Allah ,Allah ysahal aliki"(may Allah make it easy for you)

"Ameen"I replied walking to the front door opening it

"BismiAllah,tawakaltu Ala Allah,la hawla WA la quwata ila bi Allah" I said my dikhr and went out

I was opening my car door or should I say my father's,he saw how I was struggling every time to go to work since it's a 20 minues drive and he simply gave me the keys and here we are

My phone rang and I picked up knowing exactly who it was
"Assalamu Allaikum Boushra ,Sabah al Khair"
(Good morning Boushra)
"Wa Allaikum Assalam girl,how are you this morning?"she asked in a hurry,and out of breath is she running??
"Girl are you running?"I asked getting in my car starting it and raising my eyebrow like she can see me

"Ummm yeah?I have my first case and I called as always to get my daily duas from my favourite person,don't tell Sarah" she said melting my heart but I had to chuckle

"Am I your favourite person only because I make Dua for you everyday?I thought we were more than that"I said faking sadness but I know she won't fall for that

"Girl please,you know too well that I would go to the extreme just for you my love"she replied making me laugh now

"don't make me laugh I'm driving"
"Oh aren't you a lil late today?"you think I didn't realise?

"I know I slept after fajr so I woke up a lil late". I said with disapproval not liking how late I'm going to be

"That's fine it happens ,don't stress about it"
"I should be especially today,the new CEO is coming and my supervisor or my boss as he wants us to call him said he doesn't want any lacking business "I said with a huff

"Why is he like that,isn't he being too much?"
"I can't do anything about it,we can't change people who don't want to accept any kind of good change "
"True,just do your work and try not to interact with him too much" she advised me and I was grateful

"Ok I will,take care today,you can do it,don't be nervous,May Allah make it easy for you,and grant you success with every step you take habibti "I said making Dua for her ,there was silence on the other side line,did she hang up

"Boushra are you there?"I asked looking at the screen making me frown because the call is still going until i heard a sniffle

"Are you crying hayati?"I asked worried
