             *by Fauziyya M Farouk and Fatima L Gana*

After school hours, Afreen, Bushra and i went ahead to this restaurant that was at the corner just five blocks away from school. It was fancy and their food was just great.
          After we had lunch, Bushra excused herself and left for this place with her boyfriend. She never cease to amaze me. "If i'll ever have a date, it'll be in pherlys" Afreen stated and i laughed. "I'm not ready for that stuff and to be frank, its education first so i can someday run a company like pherlys" i said "oh and that reminds me, i'll be going over to pherlys later today, there's this new bag , shoes and dress i saw on their blog! Its fantabulous. I just hope its still there" i said "oh em gee! A new set?! Out?! I'll go with you. I just hope umma dosent scold me. I mean this is the fifth time i'm going to pherlys in just one week" Afreen said "common lets go" i said to Afreen then signalling Aahil to come and lets go.

I returned home hours later after shopping for the items i dreamt about last night.they were breathe taking. I wondered if the designers in pherlys were extraordinary. But seriously, they were artistc. So amazing. "Salam Alaykum!, I'm home" i said after entering our house. "Wa alaykis salam...... welcome" kalthum answered coming to take the shopping bags i had in my hand "careful with those please and take them to my room" i said looking at the bags as she held them carelessly like my life depended on it.

"Where's maama?" I asked baaba uwani as i entered the kitchen "ohh you're back!.... well she went out just few minutes ago" she replied "where to?" I asked "Aaidah whats with all the questions? She'll be back soon. she went out with a friend"  baaba uwani said "ok l'll just change and come back" i stated and left the kitchen "good" she replied.

I came down wearing this yellow atamfa long gown that had red and white touchings on it. I went straight to the kitchen to prepare this so amazing dish i saw earlier in pherlys blog. Beef kebab. Its new so i guess i'll have to try it. With couscous some garlic, chicken stock, beef, and some vegetables. Baaba uwani stared at me like i was some stranger breaking into the house. "Baaba please dont just look at me please? Help me out. I want to surprise maama when she comes back." I said after noticing her staring like there's no tomorrow. "Ok fine! What help do you need? I wonder when you'll cook a dish made by you not pherlys" she said whiles chopping the garlic "well maybe never" i replied "oh my Aaidah, maybe you should focus more on your studies instead of being the first customer everyday at pherlys when there's a new brand" she stated and i frowned "when have i neglected my studies? I dont want baaba to be dissapointed you know" i replied "and me?" She asked "ofcourse baaba, i dont want my best pherlys made baaba uwani to be dissapointed too" i replied and we both laughed until she was chocking. "Oh my baaba uwani are you ok?" I asked leaving what i was doing to get her a glass of water. She gulped it half way then stared at me... "so now i'm pherlys made?!" She asked still laughing "yes! Because you're one of the best things that ever happened in my life" i stated and she was like "so sweet!" ........."Come here" she said and we hugged each other. "I love you my dear" she said  "i love you more pherlys made" i replied chuckling.

After i prepared the newly pherlys recipe for dinner, i set it all on the table  with the help of kalthum and marwa, waiting for my parents. It was so tasty and delicious that i cant even explain it...........................Thirty minutes later, they arrived. "Welcome maama, baaba" i greeted and they answered. "Dinners ready?" Maama asked "yes i made dinner" i replied "so what do we have here?" She asked " its actually a new made recipe from pherlys" i replied "wow thats nice" my dad said coming down the stairs already changed. We sat down at the table, recited the 'before you eat' dua's then ate. Good to say i received a bunch of complements on my cooking! Anyways, another credit goes to pherlys.

Later, it was bed time. I bade them goodbye and went to my room. I sat on my bed uncasing my new stuff i bought earlier today. After i was done, i went to have my night shower and came out in my all pink pyjamas. I picked my diary from the side table.............

        Dear diary............
Today's been a long day Masha Allah. I got new stuff from pherlys and i cant be more happy. I just find everything of theirs irrisistable, dont blame me because thats how i think if it to be. Umma had been complaining not because i spend my money at pherlys but because most of my time, during weekends, or vacations, i spend all shopping. She'll say i dont even have time for her. She even threatened to take out my old pherlys stuff. But no!.  I dont mean to be rude, but i still loved them.... the knock on my door made me close my diary and putting it by my side.

"Come in!" I said and baaba uwani came in. She had a glass of milk with her which was probably mine. "Baaba uwani not again! I dont want that, im not a baby" i shrugged "even i take milk. So not only do babies take milk even grown ups do. So Aaidah dont make it hard for me and drink up. Umma said you should have it" she replied handing it over to me and walking to my closet. "What are you doing?" I asked standing up. "Umma asked me to get some cloths and shoes. They're getting too much." She replied browsing through my stuff. "Not again. I talked to umma and she still wants me to select my clothes? Those are pherlys!"  I exclaimed "then tell me, which of all the cloths, shoes and bags even jewelries aren't from pherlys?" She asked "well...." i started "but i haven't even wore them twice at least and it's late you should go to bed" i continued, and baaba uwani shrugged then cupped my cheek "you're so stubborn but better be prepared tomorrow i'll be back" she said "ok thank you!" I exclaimed and she left "goodnight!" I shouted after she had shut my door.
I sighed and went to bed. Recited my night dua's and drifted off to sleep.....

Watch out for more *Aaidah 'n' pherlys*
