IQRAAR

To say being married to Shumayll Edris was a blessing would be understatement

Each day, I pray to Allah (S.W.T) to let him be with me eternally

"You alright?" asked Ruqayyah bhabhi and I smiled brightly at her

"Of course I am!" I replied to her and she nodded, going back to discussing something with mama

The final trip to Saudi lasted more than we expected, well more than Shumayll expected because the trip that was suppose to be 2 weeks, turned out to be 3 and a half weeks, we returned to SA two days ago on Wednesday

I loved my honeymoon trip alot and well, i am expecting alot more of them in the near future

hopefully

"Do you mind?" winked Nabaahat taking a seat beside me and i shook my head

Nabaahat and Aarib

Aarib and Nafaasat

well they liked each other alright but a month after we left for the tour, Aarib left for Canada and Nabaahat began work here

They don't meet, or talk but i have a gut feeling, she will find her prince charming somewhere soon

As for Waarith and Nafaasat, well, Nafz left for her soccer championship in London and of course since its a sports competition, our dearest Waarith also went

Now, every evening, bhabhi (both) and I have to sit through her ranting about how annoying Waarith is and how much medals they have won

Loriza ma and abba are together now, i pray they stay together like this. Oh and Loriza ma has started working with the Sterling Law firm again, much to Daadi's annoyance

Sohayll is speaking words!! He called me masi and called Shumayll chachu- the guy speaks alot since he will be 3 years old soon

Zaik and Zahi are happy go lucky as always, their birthdays are coming up soon and Zahi is expecting a spiderman gift from me, yes she told me and she still calls me 'Machis' as in matchstick instead of masi

who else?

Oh right Namaan finally brought home the annoying girl he told us about in Tahiti. She turned out to be his landlords daughter in London. So when the landlords are going to Hawaii for something, the daughter whose name is Barika, was sent to stay with us for another i don't know how many days. Perhaps until Namaan leaves for work

But Barika is a nice girl, i like her. She has pale brown eyes with a quirky smile and on fleek eyebrows that are natural. She loves books and sorta likes Namaan alot for like over a year now. Her hair is naturally straight and shoulder length. And she is a hijabi.

"Iqra, i am going to make sandwiches, wanna join?" asked Ruqayyah bhabhi and i nodded

I was at the Ibrahim mansion today since my house was fully empty. Huma didi and Sohayll were here with me

"Coming" i said standing up and walking to her

We entered the kitchen and she grinned at me

Since there were no males in the house, she wore no niqab

"Guess what?" she asked me, putting the plates on the counter

"What?" i asked her, standing at the edge of the same counter
