Islam Is My Diamond

Chapter 14 - I Do or I Don't

I was to shocked to answer. I just stood there wide eyed and confused. 'Am I dreaming,' I even had to pinch myself just to make sure I wasn't in Dreamland.

Nope, it was real.

Noah might have noticed my expression because he continued speaking, "I know it is sudden and all, but ever since I saw you that day with my sister I just knew there is something about you that is unique and different from other girls. Ever time I see you, you surprise me with something and I keep feeling something pulling me towards you. I couldn't  keep it to myself anymore, so I made istakhara and talked to my family about it and they supported me, especially Ella. I wouldn't have had the guts to tell you this if it weren't for her, and I thank her for it. I know we still didn't finish our studies, but I was too afraid that one day when I open my eyes you might never be mine." He then looked up to me his grey eyes looking straight at me waiting for my reply.

"Noah, I......," I except, but the words wouldn't come out. At this point I was in tears because this was the most beautiful thing ever.
"I understand if you need time to think about it. I won't get offended, this is your life and you decide what you want," he looked so flustered and his cheeks turned red as if he regrets this already.

He looked so cute right now, I couldn't even. I chuckled and said, "why would I think about it when I already know what my answer is? Noah, I would even marry you right now if it was possible."

The look Noah gave me was filled with love and the smile made him look as if he was the handsomest person on earth. In this moment, I was happy with my reply. I heard a few awww's and that's when I remembered that our family and my best friends were here witnessing this life changing moment.
Noah reached into his pocket and pulled a beautifully decorated box, and when he opened it I felt the air leave my chest. There was a two set diamond ring sitting in the box as if it was waiting to be worn. It was decorated with little diamonds around the big diamond, and the other ring that came with it was also decorated with small diamonds except there wasn't any big diamond in the middle.

"Give me your hand," Noah whispered.

I then gave him my right hand and he slipped the rings into my ring finger trying not to touch my skin, because he still wasn't my mehram.

"Thank you, it is so beautiful," I said. I was pretty sure I was smiling like an idiot.

"Not as beautiful as you," yup he did it again, always finding ways to melt my heart.

"Okay that's enough you two. You aren't even married yet and your making gogo eyes at each other," Aunt Nancy came in between us so we won't fall into an even deeper love spell then the one we are already in.

Both me and my new fiancé turned scarlet, embarrassed, that we let ourselves fall into this act. I then turned my head away so I won't lose my self in his eyes again.

"Now, Ella is going to make a group chat with the three of you so that whenever you want to text each other you will have someone responsible supervising the cha. If anything inappropriate goes on in the chat Ella will inform me immediately, and then you can forget about talking to each other until the wedding. Am I understood?" continued Aunt Nancy strictly. Then she walked away to where her daughters in laws and husband were sitting.

"Yes, ma'am," I said. In the same time Noah said, "Since when was Ella responsible."

"HEY! I am standing right here you know," Ella yelled at Noah.
