Assalamu Alaykum. Peace be upon you.
The journey that each of us embark on when looking for love is as unique as the prints at the tips of our fingers. The quest for love, although in hindsight may seem to be a beautiful thing, in reality can be a...
"Remember that selfie we took at the hill that one night?" I asked Amir as we walked down the pavement of the city along the lake.
"Yeah?" He replied in a questioning tone.
"You never sent that to me." I said and he chuckled, reminding me that I had felt like there was no need to take a photo causing for me to huff.
"Whatever. You still said you would send it." I muttered as I tried pulling my hand out of his grasp. He simply squeezed and tightened his hold on my hand, not allowing me to let go.
"I'll send it." He said and I smiled once again as I looked down at our joined hands. "Who got you them?" I asked him, looking at the two beaded bracelets on his wrist that he always had on, lifting up our joined hands and pointing at the bracelets.
"My grandma made them." He said.
"Did she pass away?"
"No." He chuckled lightly making me say a small dua for a lengthy life in Arabic soon after. "Ameen." He said. "She's in Egypt."
"Maybe we could visit Egypt one day, yeah?" I asked him hopefully.
He nodded and smiled. "Yeah, sure. Why not? Once we have the money, inshaAllah." He said.
"What about the watch?" I asked him, hoping it didn't have any sentimental value to it. The gift I had bought Amir was a watch. It was one with Arabic numerals and I got it personalised with my name written just below the twelve in Arabic also.

(A/N: I am aware that it doesn't say 'Hira' in Arabic on the watch. Just pretend it to be there instead of 'Hublot' lolll)
"I bought it." He said and I nodded with a small smile. That means he had no excuse not to put it on.
"Did you buy me a watch?" He asked me with a smirk, looking down at me. My eyes widened.
"W-what? No! What made you..."
He cut me off with a smirk as we stopped walking and he turned to look at me, tilting his head to the side. "What sort of watch is it?"
"I didn't b..."
"You wouldn't be able lie if your life depended on it, baby. What kind of watch is it?"
I huffed at him, completely annoyed.
"You could've at least pretended so I would actually think I was surprising you." I said, rolling my eyes as I pulled my hand out of his and stomped over to the bench nearby, sitting down and throwing one of my legs over the other.
He laughed and sat next to me, extending his legs in front of him and putting his arm around my shoulders. "I'm still curious. It must be something special." He said.
"It is." I muttered begrudgingly as I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, taking it out and seeing a message from Havva, telling me to call her whenever I had time.
