Chapter 3
"Asalamwalakum Inayah beta and my little munchkin" greeted Shazia Aunty
"Walaikumsalam Shazia Aunty"
"Wa..Walaiykumshalm...Aunty!" Bilal tries to greet her in his adorable voice
"Sorry Aunty I need to run and get to work, I will see you at 2pm Insha'allah" I say as I turn to go
"Insha'allah beta, drive carefully!" Shazia Aunty yells
Shazia aunty is just like Ammi. Unfortunately Shazia Aunty and Ilyaz Uncle don't have kids so they opened this daycare. The best thing about the daycare is they teach the kids about Islam since it is a Muslim DayCare.
Today I was running late to work. I work in an Interior Designer's office as Lauren's assistant. I always dreamed of working as an Interior Designer unfortunately after Ammi and Abu's death I dropped out of college to take care of my little family. Lauren is my amazing boss, she knows everything about my life and she isn't like those evil bosses you see. She is a very down to earth person. I remember the day of my interview and how I was nervous.
*Flashback*
"Inayah Quraishi?" Asked the receptionist
"Yeah that's me" I replied confidently even though I was really scared from the inside
"Please follow me, Ms.Cook is waiting for you right in this cabin" The receptionist who I learned the name was Kathy told me pointing to the cabin right in front of us.
With shaky hands I knocked on the door
"Come in" replied the voice from inside the door
I pushed open and walked in. In front of me was a very beautiful lady, her blond hairs open and her blue eyes looking directly at me.
"Please take a seat Ms.Quraishi" Ms.Cook told
"Ummm thank you...Ms.Cook"
What she did next shocked me, she started laughing
"Omg, girl chill out...(laugh)..I won't eat you..."
I was beyond confused as to why she was laugh. I looked at myself, I was wearing my pink skirt and white shirt with a cardigan and a pink hijab.
" I am sorry Inayah, I can call you that right?" Ms.Cook asked
I nodded
"It's just that I am interviewing someone for the first time and you looked so nervous to talk to me and I couldn't stop myself. I apologize. Anyways let's get to work. You are 19 right?" Ms.Cook asked me as she went over my file
"Yes Ma'am" I told her
"Ma'am sha'am, call me Lauren" Lauren told me and I nodded
"If you don't mind me asking, shouldn't you be going to college at this age?" Lauren wondered
"The thing is Lauren, I have to look after my siblings and I really need a job and since becoming an Interior designer is my dream job I thought why not apply here as your assistant."
Lauren nodded and smiled at me
*Flashback ends*
After 3 days I got a call from the 'Houz' saying I was hired
Slowly Lauren become one of my closest friends and became friends with my siblings too.
~At the Houz~
"Inayah your late" Kathy told me as soon as I entered
"Sorry, you know how my munchkins are. They can't find anything in the morning." I explained to Kathy
" I understand love but hurry you have to go with Lauren to see the house you guys will be designing." Kathy informed me
In these 5 months of joining I have become friends with everyone in the office.
"Inayah? Your here! Let's get going" Lauren says as she spots me
After a long day at work I finally arrive to pick up Bilal
~DayCare~
"Asalamwalakum Shazia Aunty"
"Walaikumsalam Inayah, Bilal is with IIyas getting his bag give him 2 minutes" Shazia Aunty informs me
"Jazakallah khair Aunty I am sorry this month's payment is a bit late. I will try to get you the money in 2 days time"
"It's okay,my dear. Take your time and give me the money when you have it." Shazia Aunty tells me with a smile
Soon I see my choto coming with IIyaz Uncle
"Api! Asalam..alaikum!" Bilal runs up to me and hugs me like he does everyday
"Walaikumsalam my dear" I say as I hug him back "Asalamwalakum Uncle, Jazakallah khair for everything"
"Walaikumsalam beta and wa iyakum" Uncle greets back with a smile
"Allahfiz we will leave now I have to pick Sara and Mahira up aswell" I infrom them and make my way to the car. I strap Bilal in his car seat and drive to pick the other two.
