Azrah:
I take a deep breath
"My father wrote a will that he wanted one of his daughters to marry the heir of the rasheed family"I finish
"Soo, how-w are they related?"she raises her eyebrows
"Rasheed uncle and my father were cousins"I shrug
"Okay"she answers in monotone
She opens her mouth to speak but closes at the same speed, I think this conversation led us nowhere
"Ok then, i'll get going"she breathes out at last she gets up and smoothes her abaya
I bid her salaam and head upstairs
"Assalamualaikum, how was your day"amanah greets me once I step inside the room
"Nevertheless the same!!"
"So.."she is interrupted when her phone starts ringing
She sees the caller ID
"Oh, no"
"Who is it?"she shows me , Rayaan's picture flashes on the screen
Amanah bites her lower lip
"It's the second call today!!"she announces
"What? Don't keep my Jiju(sister's husband) waiting!!"I keep my hands on my hips
"I already told him not to call me the first time itself!!"
The call goes to missed call
"What if it's something important?"I retort
"I don't know what is the the hurry"she rubs the back of her neck
"Beep, beep" there was a sound indicating there is a message
"Y r u not answering my calls, r u angry with me??"she read the text,I snatch the phone from her
"Just ignore him, its the shaitan , it will tempt me to do what is haram"amanah states the obvious
She leaves the room, I sigh keeping the phone down, suddenly there is another beep
I open it
"I'm really sorry amanah"the text read
I quickly type another message
"No,was a little busy"before pressing the send button
Next minute a call arises from , omg I did not expect this
I press the call button and keep near my ear
"Hheelloo amaanah"he trembles
"Hello juju, I'm azrah"
"Oh, assalamualaikum, how are u?"
"Walaikumsalam, I'm good, how about you?
"Yeah better, where is amanah?"
"She is a little busy right now, if there is any important message, i'll convey it"
"
No need, its ok, tell her to call me once she's free"
"So you don't trust me is it?"
"No, it's not like that, I-I have things to do, so bye"he cuts the call
Isma enters the room
"Azrah,you know what?My house won"she raises her hands in the air
Ugh she is still in her sports outfits
"Well,were you the main reason?"I arch my eyebrows
Her lips which formed a upper U, turns to a lower one
"I was just kidding Panda,congrats"I go to hug her, no!!!
"But first, take a shower"I clip my nose with my hands
She pouts and heads to the bathroom and I pray my asr
I change into my comfy red top with a loose black plazo matching it with a black hijab, I march towards the kitchen
"What happened dear, you look extremely happy today"Uncle luthmaan surprises me as I march towards the kitchen swinging my hands like a maniac
He can really be sweet sometimes
"No,I-I was just exercising,"I stammer , I really didnt know someone was sitting in the living room, I move to the kitchen
"What is going on"I ask the two ladies present, Amanah and aunt Saira
"Aunt Saira is trying a new recipe"amanah rolls her eyes
"Ok then, i'll get going"i turn around to move, can't stay in this suffocating place anymore
"Not so fast young lady, I'm missing a few ingredients"aunt Saira catches my hand,"Go with amanah and purchase these "she speaks with authority, I take the sheet of paper from her hands
I go up and put on my abaya and take my purse
**********
"So how much does it make?"I ask her, we purchased some things like oregano, basil, mozzarella cheese, black pepper, broccoli and so on,right now , I was parking my scooter on the front porch of our house
"Yeah, I'll check the bill "amanah searches her bag , pockets of her abaya
"Oh, shucks no"she repeats her favourite dialogue..
"You lost it?"I scream in dismay
"No, no, I-I think I left it at the bill counter"I narrow my eyes at her
"I'm really sorry, give the bike, I'll go and get it"
"No need"I start the bike once again"I'll get it
UGH, i wish it is still there, all my saving for the past five years
I reach the supermarket in five minutes, I run to the bill counter, OMG, I can't find it anywhere
"Can I help u with something, madam"the cashier offers from behind
I turn around to see his eyes widen, he quickly puts his hands inside his pocket and takes out my PURSE
"Please don't keep your valuables, lying around here" he warns me
I was relieved
"Yeah, sure"
It was already eight'o'clock , I speed up, I didnt notice the red light, I press on the brakes , it slows down but before it accidentally bumps into a jaguar, you may think it is just a jaguar but for me it is JAGUARRR!!!
The door opens,I check him out, he is so tall and handsome as hell, he is soo, OMG, what am I saying..!!!!
His eyebrows creases when he looks at me , then he looks at his car for any scratches
"Sorry, I didnt notice the signal"I choke out
He raises his eyebrows, he really does so much emotions with it...
Again, he gets back into the car... Pheww!!!
I start the scooty and this time I go a bit slow, there's another signal and I bring the bike to stop just in time!!
Suddenly, someone bumps my scooty, I hit the speedometer, Ouch! I turn around,
