Assalaamu alaikum! Jumm'at Mubarak to you all.
Ahmad's Pov
That evening, I had dinner with Sakeenah and her parents. I couldn't help but feel sad, I felt like I was betraying someone's trust. I felt completely weird.
Sitting on my bed a day before the engagement on a Thursday, my mind took me back to the day they had come for dinner. The day my engagement was set.
"Are you alright, Son?" Aunt Saliha had asked me while we were eating.
I almost cringed when she called me 'son'. I wanted to shout 'I am not your son in law yet' but instead I smiled.
"I am okay, Aunt." I replied.
She came with her parents only. My siblings were in there rooms as Mum instructed and I was left with them. I didn't even glance at her. I knew she was so beautiful cause Mum kept saying so and it had been a few years since I saw her last...I still remembered her.
When we were done eating, Sakeenah offered to clear the plates. Mum went with her and I was left with her parents and Dad. We moved to the living room and made ourselves comfortable.
I sat beside Dad and her parents also took a seat opposite us.
"I am glad you agreed to this marriage, Ahmad. Now I wouldn't have to worry about my company anymore knowing that it's in good hands." Uncle Abdullah said grinning widely.

SpiritualI was one of them...one of those who mocked the Muslims in our school. Everything changed and I became one of those who were being mocked. I lost everything and everyone I loved but...I believed that everything happens for a reason. Assalaamu alaiku...
