"Aasi.....wake up for fajr salah....and today is your special day!"Faatimah was determined to wake me up from my beautiful sleep. 

"Heey....whats the wake up?"I joked while rubbing my eyes.

"Really Aasi....Fajr salah is going out......And hello, today is your Birthday!!! She squealed and hit me with a pillow. I can't believe you forgot your own Birthday!!"

" Well.. I kinda forgot it, but not really. Since you guys came last thursday everything has been really hectic.

" So you're saying we are hectic people,aye? I see you."Faatimah joked.

"No, you guys are my family, i love you all, I just feel like it has been a pretty hectic week and I haven't seen Zaid and Umar since the dinner.  I don't know how they are going to react to that."

"Hmmm...ok."

"Whatever that means."I groaned playfully and got out of my bed to make wudu.                                    My aunty and cousins have been here for a week now and it was pretty lit,but it could've been more lit if my BFFs were here. I guess they didn't want to impose. Anyways, our sunday school was cancelled for some sort of mishap so I just hang out with my family this whole week. I feel kind of guilty for not even giving Zaid and Umar a phone call, but inshallah they will forgive me. I always have a great day when it's my Birthday,but I can tell this year is going to be different!

"Hey Aasi,are you going to sit there and let Fajr go out or are you going to pray?" Faatimah said with a confused face that almost made me laugh.

"Oh sorry, I day dream alot--"

"I noticed that."she cut me off and started to giggle.

Faatimah and I made salah before it was sunrise. Then we read surah Yaseen and now we are talking.

"Aasi, wouldn't it be sooo cool if you guys moved up to Canada with us!? I would be so awesome right?"

"Umm, i don't know. It would be cool, but then again I just don't want to leave my BFFs. Even though I wont be able to hang out with them soon."

"Wow, you are sooo corny."

"Hey... I am not, but they are just the best friends anyone could ever have! You know?"

"Yea...that makes me feel some type of way. she said playfully and I just laughed at her. Wow, that reminds me.....Happy Birthday!!!!! she squealed and gave me a huge, tight hug. I never said it and I still am the first one to wish you!!She squealed again

I laughed at her  enthusiasm. " Ummi,Abi, your ummi, Asif,and Farouq already wished me 30 minutes ago when I went down stairs. So technically you are the 7th one to wish me!" I laughed at her as she groaned and mumbled.

"I never beat anyone, gosh!"

"Maybe next year or--"

"Hey, stop rubbing it in! she commanded playfully and we began a pillow fight. Aasi you are going to celebrate your Bday with your fam! Right?

"Of Course!I said with a big smile. I don't think I have anything else to do except of course buy my parents gifts and yea. I said in my mind.

I usually do special things on my Birthday every year,but this year my family is here so I feel I am forgetting something, something important. I do these things every year on my Birthday! Every year on my Birthday I buy my parents gifts, even though they still buy me gifts, of course( I always thought it was a nice idea for me to buy them gifts, for they were the ones who gave Birth to me. Well my ummi did,but you know!). My family and I usually go to a restaurant and have family time, and  I do a whole bunch of other things too. I feel like I am forgetting something important though!

"Aasiyah, there is someone on the phone for you! I heard my ummi calling from downstairs and that's when i wished I just had my own phone. Asif got a phone when he was 15, so hopefully I will get one today!

I ran down the stairs with Faatimah behind me. When I reached the sitting room were my aunty and ummi were sitting. As I walked up to my ummi I saw new phone, in a box with a red ribbon around it. I halfway screamed as my ummi handed it to me!

"Happy Birthday Aasiyah, you will always be my little girl." she hugged me.

" Thank you,thank you soo much!!! I said as our little moment slowly passed.

"Now, go answer that phone call, i gave Zaid and Umar your number." she said and playfully pushed me towards the other room. I answered the phone to two deep voices!

"Surprise!!! they both said at the same time.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "We told your ummi that you wanted this Iphone 7! Zaid said and I could tell  he was smirking.

"Yea, you better be happy. Umar said softly, but jokingly at the same time.

"Awww, you guys are the best! I said softly.

"We know, we know. Zaid said jokingly and I just smiled at that. I don't know why,but I feel different about Zaid. I don't know what it is that I am feeling, but I like it.

"So are you ready!?" Umar asked excitedly 

"For what?"

"You know..... every year on our Birthdays we do something fun together, we go to the orphanage and give them Ice cream and all that, and we go to the animal center and help out with the animals!" Umar said confused.

" You forgot, didn't you?" Zaid said disappointed and his voice got low.

"Omg...I am sooo sorry, I totally forgot--"

"Yea, we figured that." Zaid cut me off in a disappointed tone.

" I am so sorry, I told my fam I would hang out with them today, will you take--"

" Whatever, we will do it without you then." Zaid angrily interrupted me again.

"Zaid calm down...ok Aasiyah have..have fun." Umar said softly and ended the call. Zaid always had anger management issues and Umar was always the sweet one, but for some reason I am used to it being that way and I love both of them for who they are. Right now I feel like I will just break into tears, I feel like I ripped our friendship up into little pieces. We really never got into arguments this big, I am afraid they will never forgive me. Oh Allah please make me do the right things before it gets too late. We are all getting older and I know that soon I will not be able to speak to them anymore!!!
