It's Destined

How was it so easy for her to open up so easily. "People are just so clueless," I decide to talk. We talk some more. "Can I get your number... so we can talk more," I suggest. She just looks around as if she was waiting for someone to speak for her. "So... my mom is making food," Ahmed walks in. "Ohhhh... this is happening now," he laughs. "I just wanted to watch TV if that's alright," he says. "Ahmed, Ma is calling you," little Alia says staring at him. He walks out.

Yasmin starts saying her number. "Wait can you repeat it," I say pull out my phone. She laughs "ok," she mumbles repeating. I give her my number as well. "I should go...and my brother has to be in the chat...." she mumbles nervously. "Yeah, of course that's only right," I tell. We salaam each other as she leaves. Khalil walks in with Ahmed right behind him.

"So how'd it go," Ahmed says. "It was... good," I admit. "Ok... brother in law," he says with a smile nodding his head as he spoke. "Shut up Ahmed," Khalil says. "How'd you like her?" Kahlil asks. "Honestly... she is a wonderful person alhumdulillah," I say. "You better say that cause if you bad talked my sister I'd have to hurt you," Khalil says, I could see he was overprotective over his sister and cared for her.

"I was eavesdropping and noticed you two don't really look at each other, you stare at the floor," Ahmed says flipping through the channels. "Match made in heaven," Khalil mumbles. We conversate some more and then his mom calls us to the dining room to eat.

After we eat, we all pray then head to living room to play the Wii sports. "We want to play and get ready to lose," Yasmin says as her and Lilia walk in. Yasmin stops talking and her face turns red. I just smile. "You still playing tomate," Ahmed says. Her mouth drops and she hits him on the shoulder.

"Let's team up... I'm captain and...." he said trying to decide who should be the next captain. "Me," Ahmed stands up. "Ok, I get Yasmin," Khalil says. "Yaya!" she jumps up. "Fine... I get Brother in Law," Ahmed says. I just now noticed that Ahmed doesn't really care what he says. "Alia," Khalil says. Lilia stares at him with her arms crossed. "Jay," Ahmed says and Lilia was last one. "You guys can have Lilia," Alia says. "No thanks," Ahmed says. "Come on Lilia you're on our team... even though you suck," Yasmin mumbles the last part sitting down next to Lilia.

Once the game starts I could tell why no one wanted Lilia on their team... she was awful. We play a bunch of games and I realize why Khalil was so quick to chose Yasmin she was great, but way too serious; well they all were even little Alia.

They did end up beating us even with Lilia on their team, she did manage to score some points. I really did lose track of time because it was Isha time. We all pray before I leave. I salaam everyone before leaving.

Alhamdulillah this was great day. I walk in and I head to my room getting ready for bed. My phone beeps from my table stand. I pick it up and see that it was Yasmin, I notice she made it into a group chat with her, Khalil, and me. Had fun losing she texts with a laughing emoticon. I smile I enjoyed it... but next time inshallah my team will win I text putting my phone down and getting into bed.

That sounds like a challenge she says. It is I reply. I'm glad she actually took the time to text me. Salaamu alaykum, have a blessed night She writes. I don't know but that made me smile. Wa alaikum as salaam have a good night I send putting my phone in charge and falling asleep.
