GOOD WOMEN ARE FOR GOOD MEN

chapter 5

Basma's POV

"Idriss mansur munir, don't think of stepping in this house without my abayah" I emphasized for my brother to get me clearly.

"I will think about it" came his reply.

"Stop pulling my legs Mr" I pointed my index finger as if his seeing me, he is beginning to annoy me.

"Okay okay I will get it for you in sha Allah" he laughed making me push the the phone away from my ear before I become deaf.

"Good good" I said cause I didn't get what he was saying, I walked down the stairs and head to the kitchen to grab a yogurt from the refrigerator.

"I have to go now Habibti Assalamu'alaykum" he seems to be in a hurry, I can detect it in his voice, maybe he has meeting to attend.

"Walaykum salam" I reply with a mouth full of yogurt. Ummi walked in the kitchen and I sat on the island.
She walk up to me and kiss my forehead, I smiled back.

"Are your friends coming over?" She put her hand on my chin, I will never grow up cause even if I want to, mother always treat me like a baby.

"Yes" and feed her yogurt which she accepted.

"Okay go get ready they will be here any moment" she push me out of the kitchen and took my sweet sweet yogurt away from me.

I went to my room, took a shower, put my hair in a ponytail, wore my maxi skirt and a long sleeve, apply a little make up. Well if I was going out today never will I wear this but its just me, my friends and parents so its cool.

Just as I finish I heard the front door bell, I smiled and descend down the stairs and open the door.

"Assalamu'alaykum" I greeted them, they all jumped up on me and I gave out a laugh as I hugged them back.

"Wa alaykum salam" they responded as we pulled back and I heard laughter behind me, I turn to see my parents walking towards us.

I introduce zaina to them "Ummi, baba this is zaina" I gesture towards her, my mum hugged her and my dad nod, they greet the others and we left to my room.

"Waw your room is beautiful ma sha Allah" zaina wander around my room.
"Jakallah, take off your abayah" they all did and jumped on my king size bed beside me, we talked about random stuffs till noura made an announcement.

"Am getting married" she said looking down at her hands as she play with them on her lap blushing, which made her cousin laugh.
The expression on Zaina's face was priceless, she was surprise well I was frozen in my spot, soon we all recovered and jumped on her.

"Maboruk" we all said in unison.

"When?" I ask with a big smile, I can't believe it, noura is getting married. She covered her face with her hands.

"In three weeks" she removed her hands from her face smiling.

"WHAT!" Zaina and I said in the same time.
"Brother uthman can't wait to marry her" aisha laugh when noura hit her with a pillow.

"Ummmmm he wants to make everything halal ma sha Allah" zaina poked her rib causing her to hide her face with a pillow, and we laugh.

"So you like him" I asked, she throw her head back on the bed but nod and we burst out laughing again.

Soon the food was ready, they put back on their abayah and we head down to the kitchen, baba isn't joining us cause he is not a mahram to the girls. We sat around the table and stated eating soon I remembered something.

"zaina ain't you fasting?" I asked with a hint of confusion in my voice, she looked at me but as soon as she registered my words, her eyes went wide she rush to the sink to clear her throat and we all rush to her side. Ya Allah she forgot, my mum rub her back.

"But if I may ask dear why are you fasting? Ummi ask curiously, zaina looked pale but soon relaxed.

"Its her birthday" noura smiled

"Oh how old are you?" She further ask.

"19" Aisha burst out and zaina gave her a look that says the question wasn't for you.

"Go to basma's room okay" Ummi smiled at her, when she left we went back to eating, the girls and I were about to head back up when ummi called me back, I told the girls to go ahead.

"Will it be okay if I made her iftar" my mum hand me spoons to put away.

"Yes" I smiled and kiss her, she likes zaina already. I head back up and join the girls, after asr prayer they said their salam and left

A Week later

I open the door and meet a pair of beautiful blue eye just like mine. His long black fell back on his shoulder and a thick beard. I miss him

"Idrissss" I jumped on him, he hugged me back and let out a laugh, he is taller so he pick me up.

"I miss you so much" I cried hugging him tight, "I thought you only care for the abayah" he said then he put me down raising an eye brow and I hit him on the arm lightly, causing him to laugh.

"Got you a gift" he smiled, I immediately stated jumping in excitement.

"Basma I know you miss your brother but let him take a shower" I dad said and I nod

"We will take later" idriss went to his room.
