The Messenger of Allah (prayers of Allah be upon him and his family) has said: "These hearts rust just as iron rusts; and indeed they are polished through the recitation of the Qur'an."

Zunaira's POV:

The phone call was the most awkward thing this week..I had to guarantee! I thought to myself as I laid back on my bed..what the hell was that all about? whatever! but..why? aarghhh! okay and breath in..breath *tring tring* out?

okay who is this? Zara? she is going to be so dead!

"Hello?"

"assalamualaikum!"

"walaikum assalam..zara, don't you know to carry your phone with you? always?"

"yah! right! even in the washroom?"

I felt like laughing on that but I controlled.."okay then, only you should answer the calls right?..It's your phone!"

"*laughs*you got embarrassed didn't you?"

"what? does that matter now? I'm serious here!"

"well..maybe..I too am!"

"why didn't you answer when he asked who you were?"

"what? he told you that too?"

"Duh! Dude he's my bro!"

"Oh god! What now! This is so embarrassing!"

"Nothing! he's like your bro too man!"

of course all muslims were brothers and sisters!

"Aaargh! yaar..it was embarrassing..what was he telling?"

"Who?"

"Your brother of course!"

"You wouldn't wanna hear it!"

"Umm..let's see how bad this can get..continue.."

"He was laughing..! actually he too was like "God! why did I have to pick the phone up?" and I was like destiny! and he goes as to how you spoke and then he started laughing saying you were so nervous and didn't understand anything that you didn't even answer when he asked you your name!"

"What? I knew it! today's day is embarrassing..Zooni you need to take rest relax!"

"*laughs* yaar Zooni relax even he got embarrassed but lesser than you"

"wait! i did answer when he asked my name"

"Well maybe you did but a little later...Achha I wanted to ask..You are going to the engagement of Heena appi tomorrow right?"

"Oh yes! Of course..She's your second cousin but my first cousin obviously I'll go!"

"Sooo,shopping must've been done already right?"

"Ahan..I'm excited..Jeeju is damn sweet!"

"Okay then let's meet tomorrow.."

"Allahafiz..."

So the phone call conversation was that way I mean after the embarrassing one..But I didn't know what more was to come..After exactly two days of the phone call scene, It was Heena appi's engagement..I was rather excited..The entire family was visiting..

The engagement day:
I was at Zara's house..I liked to get dressed and get ready to go with her..As I rang the bell ,it was her brother who opened the door..I just tried to behave normal..Very very normal..

So, I told an assalamualaikum and went to meet aunty..And when he went upstairs to his room..You won't believe how glad I was..What? I got embarrassed two days back only..! I went up to Zara's room,took out my abaya and changed..

It was a simple anarkali with full hands of a beautiful baby blue color which I absolutely loved..It had an embroidery with white on it which made it look all the more heavenly... For me..And to top it all a beautiful embroidered scarf for hijab gifted by my Nani..

On the other hand Zara wore a baby lavender with dark lavender embroidery on it..
And a hijab of the same baby lavender color.. It took us time to select but yes, we bought these dresses together..

As we finished with strokes of eye liners and nothing else because we both didn't like too much of make up except for eye liner....So we didn't apply anything except that..We were finally ready! She did my hairstyle though..She's pretty good at it..

We came down together and aunty looked soo happy to see us both..All of us were ready to go..

I called mma and asked her if they went or were on their way..
She said that they were on their way and I told that we were about to come too..

Aunty told the three of us to go first..She would come in the other car with uncle..

I asked her why and told that all of us could go together as we could fit too..I mean yes obviously but she was like..She didn't pack the gift yet so it would only fifteen minutes and that they'd come..

We agreed..And then stood again..I asked Zara why we were standing..She said that we were waiting for her brother..Wow! I was so so dumb the three of us obviously mean me , Zara and him not the driver duh! God!

We already wore our abayas and waited...As he came down in the black tuxedo..I looked up for a second..Wow! I exclaimed in the first second....And looked down the next second.. Haram! I thought..
And then MashaAllah I said..

We came out to sit in the car and told out byes to aunty and uncle and told them to come soon..
And when were about to get in..My eyes met his..For the first time..For more than like ten seconds..I eventually looked away don't know about that shameless fellow..

We sat in and Zara and I took a few selfies and her brother was like uff you and your selfies Zara! When will you stop! And he started laughing..

We reached pretty soon and I met mma and papa and then we went to meet Heena appi..
She looked really pretty and very happy..

I was so happy for her..And then, what do I see? Zara's brother talking to my mom and my mom pulling his cheek and then Zara's parents came too..

Bhai saw me and he was like arey! My darling looks really beautiful.. I hope no one dies on you today and he winks...

I told a hugee haww and we both laughed..And I hoped secretly that someone did die on him..
Honestly he deserved a lot of love
.. looking at the way he was and how he treated women..

My Bhai looked so handsome today..So so handsome.. I just wished the best for him..The arrangements were really pretty and the ring exchange time was getting nearer..

I wondered how Jeeju would be looking.. Zara, Me and Heena appi took a lot of pics and we had fun with each other..

As I was going the other way, I saw Zara's mom talking to a girl with Zara's brother.. MashaAllah I thought..

He is getting ready to get married wow..But what if the girl wasn't good enough..I mean what if she wasn't as pretty..For him..
Why did I even think that just now?
