              *Aaidah 'n' pherlys*  

*by Fauziyya M Farouk & Fatima L Gana*

  The day today was Saturday. I sat up and recited the morning duas in a low tone. I walked into the shower room, took my toothbrush and applied the paste on it.
I couldn't sleep last night. Perhaps my eyes were closed but then, more than half of my night I spent thinking...... something terrible is going on with me really....
'Have I prayed?!' I thought "ohh no!'' I groaned 'Aaidah you never miss this what's wrong with you?!'  My conscience spoke.
In a haste, I perfomed  ablution, set out the prayer mat and started suplicating.....
After my salat, I took my laptop and logged into my Facebook account. Did some scrolling through the friend request page and saw what caught my attention. ....... "Yasir Fahad?" I mumbled lowly  Immediately, I pressed onto the accept button before viewing his page.. "he never loved Facebook....... how come??......" I said asking no one in particular. His pictures were a few so I just glaced through.
        After spending about five minutes on Facebook,  I logged on instagram and then to that website. .....
"Ohhh!" I gasped openly covering my mouth. It was this shoes I saw that was so  breathetaking. Pherlys never ceases to amaze me. I kept scrolling down and it seemed to me like it's been ages since I entered their site. "Maama needs to see this...!!" I squealed. Just then my door flew open ..... Aaidah!!, I've been knocking!!" A stern voice yelled. I missed that voice. And without even looking who it was, I attacked her with a hug. "Baaba Uwani!! You're back!! I missed you! Sorry i was so carried away!" I said sarcastically never realizing how out of breath she is that moment. "Urr.... Aai.......dahh....?" She managed to blurt out "ohh my I'm sorry I was just so happy".....  "how 're you?" I asked "I'm fine Alhamdulillah I can now see you can do without me" she replied "oh no baaba not just yet I wanted someone to pick out the best.... no they're all good but I just want somebody who has good taste in fashion like you, pick out the prettiest out of this four!!" I squealed with excitement written boldly on my face. "Abuse me" she said  "no I'm serious" I replied. "Ohh ok where show them to me....... and please control the smile on your face before your teeth falls off" she teased and I laughed "I can't help it they just brightened my day.... they're gorgeous" I said as we settled down on my bed.... there.... you see the black..... oh my abd the golden.... no just see that one.... "what's the colour?" She asked "its peach...... uhhhh look at the red one!" I continued blabbering "then which do you want?! You keep blabbering just pick out..... chose! " she yelled... "but that's why I thought you could help me I cant choose I replied slapping my cheeks continuously,  all my attention focused on the screen.

#At the dining room#
...Random...
        
         "Good morning wifey" dad greeted before setting down on the chair. "Morning hubby" she replied "where's Aaidah?" Dad asked "up in her room with baaba uwani" she  replied... they kept talking and talking untill the door bell rang. "I'll just go in I just pray its not work" dad said before leaving the room.
  "Yay!!! I smell smashed spicy potatoes!!!" Amal screemed and ran towards where maama sat "ohh my these kids common here.... ummi, get them their plates" maama said as she guided them into sitting on the sits. "And you yasir? Would you care for some coffee?" She asked "No its alright.... I'm fine" he replied smiling "I'll just sit over" he added

"So what brought you over?" Maama asked both of the twins "we wanted to spend some time with Aunt Aaidah like before....." Ahil started "..... and we wanted to invite her over to the mall shopping with her is fun and you know she aways buys me this big pack of chocolate chips" Amal finished and they all laughed.

Where is Aunt Aaidah? I can't see her anywhere" Ahil said looking around...... "she's in her room let me call her. "No we will!!!" They  said before running off "careful not to fall off the stairs!" Maama said from behind.  "Ok!" They replied

"Yasir?" She called and yasur stood up walking to her.  "Yes aunt" he replied "you and Aaidah have a problem?" She asked "no not really just a mere misunderstanding thats all" he replied "well then I know I shouldn't be telling you this but then, she's hurting.  She might look ok but deep down, I know she's not. So please what ever it is, fix it because I dont like seeing my daughter getting hurt ok? Please" maama stated and he nodded

"She's here!" Ahil shouted
Yasir was the first person my eyes fell on... I froze instantly.
