One And A Quarter Year Agreement (a muslim love story) #Wattys2016

Chapter 21

Nadir's POV
Phase 1: Get flowers, food and Simba
I can't waste this day. It's been too long. I better go before it gets too dark.

I tried to look for a crate for Simba but I there was none. There is no way in hell I'm letting that cat sit on my leather seats. Like none. I took a blanket from the cupboard and set it on the seat for the cat to stay on.

I got in my car and drove to the florist. I couldn't leave the cat in the car so I took him with me in the shop. The woman there at the shop gave me a puzzled look. "It's my wife's" I said to clear the confusion.

"Oh, that's so sweet of you, I'm sure she loves you greatly. My husband despises my cats. Like all 20 of them." She explained. "She's a lucky girl." I just smiled weakly at her. Little does she know that I'm on a mission to actually get her at the moment and all.

I got a bouquet of twenty Crimson coloured roses. I really hope she likes them.

I then went to her favourite restaurant. I again took Simba with me, don't want him dying in the car before he sees his mum and she kills me. All the waiters and customers gave me weird stares. Haters.

I asked for the menu and ordered all the food that Sophia loves to eat from here. "That's a lot of food, are you sure you'll eat all of that?" The waiter asked.

"Uh, it's not for me, it's for my wife actually. And this thing is my wife's too." I said pointing at Simba.

"You must've really spoilt her. She sounds like a lucky girl." The waiter said.

I got the food and went back to the car. 

Alright. So let's see. Flowers? Check. Food? Check. Simba? Check. Now, the second phase.

Phase 2: Get a ring and take the signed contract.

For the second phase I first drove to my office since it was nearer. The workers were closing it up since it was 6 in the evening. I rushed up the stairs and into the elevator. I entered my office and walked up to my drawer. I opened it and in lay the piece of paper that brought me to this day. I held it in my hands and just shook my head. How could I have been so stupid?

I took the contract and returned to my car. I definitely didn't want to take Simba with me into the jewellery shop so I stopped at PetsMart. I went in and got a crate for him. I set it up in the back seats.

I drove to the jewellery shop Sophia was always talking about, Tiffany's was it? I don't know.

I went into the shop and was shown rings. The guy kept looking over my shoulder but to his surprise he found no one there. Obviously he had the same question in mind.

"So, what kind of ring do you want and where is the lucky girl?" He asked.

"She isn't here right now, but I want a diamond ring." I replied.

"Ooh what kind?" He asked.

"Any." I replied. There are kinds?

"No, I mean what shape and all!" He said.

"Oh, can I see the square ones?" I asked and that's what I was shown.

I chose the one that fit her personality the most.

Phase 3: Get distracted because I'm not ready for this.

Sophia's POV
It's final, he ain't coming. Like not at all. I wonder what he's doing though. I bet he probably playing around with some other person now. I hate him. I really actually don't. But I really do hate him. Stupid poopie.

I'll have to wait, wait for the rest of my life, till all my hair go white and my hands all frail and my face all wrinkly, maybe he'll love me then. I sighed.

"Sophia, Sophia! Where were you lost? Okay so I was saying did you see the dress she was wearing? It was HIDEOUS." Sara said snapping her fingers.

"Oh sorry, I must've dazed out." I said apologetically.

"It's fine, I totally understand your situation at this moment!" Sara said,"we better get going though. It's getting late and you need to rest. Take care of yourself and do nothing stupid. We're right her with you!" She continued.

"I know you will be." I smiled weakly at them.

They left. Just like everyone. I'm probably making a huge drama out of this but oh well, how many times do you get to live a fairytale?

Nadir's POV
I'm outside her house. And I have no nerves to go to her. Let me ask her parents first though. I'll call them.

"Asalamulaikum, what makes you call us after breaking our princess' heart?"

"Walekumasalam, I wanted to ask for your permission if I could take her back from your hands? I feel horribly bad for everything and I actually do love her and have the hugest regard of respect for you."

"That would be lovely but how would we know that we can trust you again?"

"Trust me, once more. Just one last time."

"You can take her hand back but as long as she's fine with it. Should we tell her?"

"No not at all, I'll tell her myself."

"Okay, we'll talk to you in a while Allah Hafiz!"

"Allah Hafiz!"

I put my phone down and smiled. This is it. This is my chance.

I got down from my car. Only if this scene could be recorded in slow motion.

I walked up the pathway and knocked on the front door. This is my chance to confess. This is it.
