A Muslimah's Love Story

Chapter 4

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Amani's POV

It's been a week since the accident, Alhamdulilah after Yehya gave blood to baba (dad in Arabic), he was able to make it out of surgery in good condition. I could not thank Allah more for answering my dua, and giving me my father back even when he was so close to death. 

We just came back home and baba is in his room resting, unfortunately he has a broken leg, and 4 broken ribs. It will take a while before his body will heal and everything will return back to normal, well not completely, he does have some minor permanent injuries. Mum's taking good care of him, and is even spoiling him.

I walked into my room and jumped into my comfortable bed, oh how much I've missed it. I was in desperate need of a nap, so I decided to doze off. 

*ring ring*

I started to groan as i picked up my phone, is sleep to much to ask for? It read Fari.

"Salam habibti Fari", I answered.

"Wa alaikum salaam Amanii, how are you, how is amo bilal (amo meaning uncle) and the rest of the family?"

"Alhamdulilah, everyone is great. Baba's in bed resting. The doctor says it'll take about 2 months for the injuries to heal so he can walk again."

" I see, Alhamdulilah, Amani come over for dinner today, its been a week since we caught up together." Although all i wanted was sleep, i couldn't deny Fari, she'll personally come with an axe and threaten to chop various body parts off. I would rather stay in one piece, besides I missed her company too.

"Sure i'll be there soon. see you in an hour or so."

"Okie, give everyone my salam." We disconnected as I jumped to my feet and walked to my wardrobe. After I was dressed, I went downstairs to inform mama (mum in Arabic) that I'll be at Fari's.

I walked to her house which was only down the street when I heard loud noises of barking. OH GOD HOW MUCH I FEARED DOGS. I looked back to see a gigantic German Shepherd running towards me. My heart dropped so far down as I started to have a panic attack. 

I feared dogs ever since I was 6 years old when mama and I were walking to my preschool and two tiny dogs started running to me. I jumped for my life on my mum and tried to climb her leg as high as I could but all that I was doing was pulling my mums pants down. The dogs were jumping up and down trying to take a bite out of me when its owners finally decided it was a good idea to come and retrieve there murderous dogs.

The German Shepherd was ready to tear my body open and eat my organs. Hell no, I wasn't going to die this way. I ran so fast towards Fari's house fearing for my life, but the dog was faster, slowly it was gaining up on me. When I made it, I began to bang on the wooden door so hard and endlessly until someone would open for me. My eyes were set on the dog when I felt my hand MERCILESSLY SMACK a face. I turned to see Yehya... on the floor... looking at me... with a bloody nose... and shock written all over his face. What have you done Amani you idiot. I stood there gobsmacked when I heard louder noises of barking, the dog was only 5 meters away when I slammed the door just in time to save my life. 

I turned towards Yehya who I think is now traumatized. oops. I stood there with no idea of what i was supposed to do. "Hi Yehya..." I whispered as he stood up. We stared at each other for a minute or so, until we dropped to the floor cracking up laughing.

After a few minutes, my jaw and stomach started to hurt of laughter. I don't know what is so funny about hitting a person and causing a nose bleed but this is just too funny.

"You slapped me! and hard too" Yehya exclaimed. I felt so bad and guilty although I could tell he wasn't angry, instead he was laughing it of too.

"I am soo sorry Yehya. I didn't mean to.. there was a dog trying to eat my organs.. and.." i started to mumble out my thoughts without thought of what was coming out of my mouth. I was fidgeting with my fingers until i realize how long i was rambling on for. I looked up and Yehya was staring at me the same way he was at the wedding, I didn't really understand that look of his and he was staring for a bit too long.

His stare eventually turned into a cheerful smirk . "It's completely fine as long as your organs are okay and still inside of your body" he said mocking me, making me giggle and turn red.

Fari walked into the crime scene with her jaw dropped wide open,"what on earth happened here! Yehya why are you bleeding and why are you both sitting here on the ground." 

Now, how was I going to explain this. I opened my mouth to explain when Yehya answered for me, " Your best friend here almost knocked me out when I was just so kindly opening the door to welcome her. " I shot him the biggest death stare possible for over exaggerating and making me seem like a complete criminal. 

"Well, i wouldn't put it that way, all that happened was that i was being chased down by a murderer so i started to bang on the door and when Yehya opened for me, he didn't move so my hand accidentally made it's way to his face ever so gently. Did i mention that i was almost killed!?" I stated trying to plead my case and look like the victim.

"oh my God Amani are you okay, did he do anything to you!?" i pulled an innocent yet mischievous face towards Yehya who was looking at me as if i just stabbed him.

"Hellooo, i am the one here with a nosebleed! and what a certain someone forgot to mention  is the fact that the murderer happened to be a small puppy." Yehya said trying to win back the attention.

"WHAT! If you looked properly, you would have seen that the SO CALLED PUPPY was a meter high DEADLY German Shepherd." I said winning the case.

"ALRIGHT YOU BABIES, you two are doing my head in." Fari yelled. Yehya and I rolled our eyes and laughed.

We stood up, and as Yehya walked away he chuckled, "just remind me to never get on Amani's bad side."
