Mashal

Remember when I said that I can't sleep after fajr?

I take my words back.

It was my first day of college and I guess I was too excited or too upset that I slept after fajr and then when I woke up it was already 7:30.

It won't be wrong to say that I was running late on my first day of college!

"Minahil you could've woken me up!" I said, frustration clear on my tone as I hurriedly grabbed an apple from the kitchen counter. It was probably the only breakfast I was going to get.

"I'm not an alarm clock idiot." She rolled her eyes.
Since she had a license, she could drive and she didn't quite care about the time because unlike me, Minahil didn't have to catch a bus.

"But you are my sister." I said matter of factly before taking a huge bite of my apple.

"I hate to call you my sister but since you're getting late, I'll drop you off at your college in my car."

"You would?" I couldn't believe what she had just said. Minahil had just offered to drive me to college? Whoa. Wonders will never cease.

"I just said so." She shrugged.

The incredulous look on my face was switched over with a look of thankfulness. The idea of my sister being good to me seemed far fetched but I was willing to accept it.

"Thank you!" I sang as I pulled her into an uncomfortable hug.

"Okay okay. No hugs please."

"Okay." I grinned.

Mama and Papa had gone off to drop Abdullah at his school and then from there they would go to the City Council office. Apparently they both worked in the same office which was very dramatic but also romantic. Oh and cheap too. They didn't need to have two separate cars so.....

Anyways, the point is that no one was home so as always I said my salam to the walls and hopped into the car with Minahil.

As soon as she ignited the car, the music player began screaming out a song.

I'm sorry if I offend anyone but I honestly hate songs. The fact that with the same ears that they use to listen to the Quran, how can people hear this ridiculous nothing? I mean it's okay if it's something meaningful like a national song or a nasheed but the ones without any purpose are just there as a weapon of Shaytan.
Oh crap. Now I'll have to tolerate this useless-

"Hey I know you don't like loud songs so I won't put them on." Minahil smiled at me, interrupting my thought process. She turned off the annoying song and peace prevailed in the car.

Why is she being so sweet to me?

I stared at my sister with my lips agape. It was hard to digest that she wasn't being mean to me today.
