Take my hand?!

Chap 7: Or do I?

Today my aunty and cousins are going back to Canada and Zaid, Umar, and I are going to Sunday school and we also are just going to Zaid's house to hang out, afterwards. Today is going to be a busy day and hopefully not a confusing day!

" Assalamualaikum ,bye Aasi, we are about to leave! Faatimah said dramatically as she hugged me goodbye!

"Wa alaikum salaam! I will go say goodbye to your ummi, Ambreen, and Farouq!" I said letting go of her. 

"Assalamualaikum everyone!! I said as hugged Farouq, then my aunty, then I picked Ambreen up and gave her a kiss on the cheek. I love you guys and I will miss you soo much!!!"

"You'll see us soon! my aunty smirked and said her goodbyes!

I don't get it, What does aunty Bilkis trying to say. I said in my mind as a slowly closed the door." You'll see us soon." her words just irritated my mind, not because of us seeing them again. My ummi didn't tell me anything about going to Canada and I hope that isn't the case, I love my family and all but I couldn't ever leave my home that I grew up in and loved for all of my life! My ummi always talked about how we would one day move to Canada, but she was always joking! I hope that is the case because I don't ever want to leave my Bffs even though I will  never be able to speak to them again.

"Ummi, what does aunty Bilkis mean?" Asif asked staring at his phone.

" Don't worry about it and go check on Abdullah in the kitchen. He's been quiet for quite sometime. I followed Asif to the kitchen to see what Dullah was doing since my ummi didn't answer Asif's question.

I couldn't believe my eyes as I walked inside of the kitchen! The little Munchkin named Abdullah got into the flour and took a flower bath!! He looked so cute and funny!!

" Dullahhhhhhh!!!!Asif groaned as he stared at the mess in the kitchen.

" Look at the bright side Asif, atleast he isnt covered in peanut butter like last time! I laughed.

"Same situation. he groans while kneeling down to clean the mess.

"Pway,pway!! Abdullah jumps up and down and starts throwing flower in Asif's curly hair.

"Hey... stop Dullah! Asif says and starts to tickle Abdullah while Abdullah laughs. 

"Aww my bwoders are soo cute! I said playfully and luckily I had my phone with me and I took a picture. It was sooooooo cute!!!!

"Heyyy!!! Did you just take a picture of me?! Asif asked playfully while still playing with Abdullah.

"No, why would I do that." I playfully lied to him. Then I went to whatsapp and put it as my profile.

" I hope you aren't doing anything s--."

"Aasiyah get ready in fifteen minutes. my ummi interrupted  from inside her bedroom.

" Fifteen minutes? I mocked her. You know how long I take." I said while running up the stairs to my room so I can find an outfit to wear ASAP! I got a cute but, plain outfit,got dressed, and I did the rest of my process of getting ready. I looked at the time and I was just in time. I felt very accomplished because I was actually on TIME! Iran down the stairs and saw my ummi putting her shoes on.

"Wow, you are on time. she said thankfully.

"Of course--"

"Not." she interrupted me and started to giggle. Let's go, Umar and Zaid are already standing near the car." My ummi said as we both headed our way to the car.

" Assalamualaikum, hey!  I said to my Bffs as we got in they car.

"Wa alaikum asalaam! Hi! Umar said and shot me a cute smile.

"Hey." Zaid said studying his phone.

" Zaid what's so interesting about that thing, you never really were interested in it know you are studying it! Umar and I laughed as Zaid just fake laughed.

"Whoa!"Umar and I said together.

" He might be texting his girlfriend! I whispered teasingly but, both of them didn't find it funny.

"Heyy..Za--"Zaid stopped mid sentence and just looked down. I wonder what's bothering him so. I mean he acting kinda strange...he never looks at his phone and he always plays along! So now we are just sitting in a silent car and have almost a 30 minute ride ahead of us! AWKWARD! Why does t even feel awkward, I am never awkward in front of my Bffs, now this is just silly. I was hoping for a non confusing day,but here I am sitting in the most of confusion!

"Ok..while you guys be awkward in the back I am turning on my favorite singer!!!"My ummi said while plugging her phone to the aux cord and going to soundcloud.

" Oh no!!" we all groaned playfully.

"Harris J!!" My ummi half way squealed.

"Ummi please noo, he sounds like ,errr!" I covered my ears playfully.

"That's not my problem! my ummi said and turned on Harris J: Paradise.

"OH LARD! Zaid mumbled playfully and got his earphones out, plugged them into his phone, and started to listen to his own jams! Umar and I eventually did the same thing ,but we talked here and there. Zaid just kept quiet while listening to his jams.

* * * * * * * * 

"Gosh that lecture felt longer than I thought!" Farheen mumbled as her, Zaynab, and I went to the girls room to make wudus for Zuhr salah.

" Yea, it was! Zaynab said while making wudu and began looking at me. Hey, Aasi, remember what I told you a couple weeks ago. she smiled and I suddenly felt my heart pounding really hard. " I texted Zaid this morning and asked him if he could be my BOYFRIEND(Not permissible to have a "relationship" if you aren't married!).she smiled and I felt I might just scream!

"Zaynab, you know we aren't--"

"Quit being a halal police all the time"she joked and I totally didn't think any of this was funny. I mean yea.., I might be a halal police at times,but this is serious!! Zaynab already knows this!! She is just making me irritated now!!

"Yea, Aasi take a chill pill.Farheen said and started to giggle. Sounds like jealousy to me! she mumbled and joked.

Ahh..No its not! I am just trying to help." I say angrily while my two friends still take this as a joke.

I do not know what to say right now!! Omg! What do I do! I want to know what Zaid said,but I am afraid to ask! I know Zaid would never do that! I know he wouldn't! I think! I don't even know why I care so much! I mean I don't like him or anything? Or do I?
