Ringing of the alarm made ihsaan to wake up from his sleep. He just layed in the bed for some time. When he turned to his right the sofa was empty. He sat up and saw Ilham praying. He signed and got up and went to make wudu. After tat he left to masjid.

After praying ilham went to check on her kids. She saw them sleeping peacefully. Her mom was praying beside the bed. She went to kitchen to prepare tea. While in the middle of making tea she heard ringing of the bell. Putting her hijab she rushed to open the door. Ihsaan entered saying salaam and smiled seeing Ilham. Ilham replied and asked him whether he wants tea.

Ihsaan sat in the sofa while ilham
made tea for him. He saw her aunt cumin down and said salaam to him. His aunt sat in sofa opposite to were ihsaan was seated. Ilham bought the tea for them and gave ihsaan and her mom. She grabbed for her and took a seat beside her mom.

Ilhams mom started " Kaka has invited us all for lunch at ihsaans house" both the couple nodded. "At what time ma we'll leave??" Asked Ilham. "Insha Allah after duhar salah"
"Insha Allah "

Ilham went to kitchen and washed the tea cups. Then she went up to her room and entered. She saw ihsaan sitting in the bed and busy with the phone. He looked up and smiled at her. She returned the smile. She sat on the sofa and checked her phone.

Ihsaan looked at her and statred to speak.

It was after duhar prayer everyone went  to ihsaans house for lunch. They had great time together. Ilham went to pray asr  in Ihsaans room. It was so beautiful. She went to bathroom to make wudu. Ihsaan came to his room to perform ablution. He knw tat Ilham was using his toilet so he sat in his bed.

She peeked out of the toilet and saw Ihsaan sitting in the bed. Ya Allah wat I'm gona do nw. Ihsaan noticed ilham peeking out of toilet and thinking eagerly.

"S  tell me"
