Hey, Stranger

Could This Be Destiny?

Amir's POV
Inallilah I heard her mutter as I nudged her off balance to move pass her in order to help the old woman I sited from the restaurant cross the road I couldn't even wait to say sorry because the traffic light was going to change at anytime and she'd have to wait for about 3 minutes under the sun once more, but we don't always do what we planned to because just then I felt a pair of tiny female like hands on my biceps trying to turn me so I turned to see who that was and my eyes met that of a young lady whom I think is a few years younger than me and before I knew it she started this whole lecture on how it's rude to bump into people and not apologise.
As I walked into the resturant I searched around to look for the tiny female who just gave me a lecture so I could apologise to her friend and there she was sitted with her friend whom I only just noticed was really pretty with her long lashes and pretty long face which was perfect eyelined and a veil covering her and to top it of she wasn't dressed improperly Ma Sha Allah I muttered to myself before lowering my gaze and moved forward to go meet them. I got to their table and the only thing I could say was I'm sorry and she tried replying but stammered which was really cute and I had to smile which only made her more shy so she lowered her gaze and said a faint no offense taken and smiled so I could turn and leave.

Fatima's POV
Oh geez even his smile is perfect I couldn't help but blush and turn a bright red which was embarrassing
So I covered my face to avoid further embarrassment, I think he noticed because after that he just turned and left without saying his name If only be knows how frustrating that was. I just hoped we met one day.

I woke up to the sound of cheering from my living room so I swiftly put on my hijab and headed down to see what commotion was in place only to be startled with cheers from my siblings, Aisha and my parents reminding me that the 26th of September being today was my birthday I was so happy that I couldn't help but tear up which made everyone call me a cry baby and earned me a peck on my forehead from my dad, I've always been his baby so it was no surprise but then he reminded me I was now 21 and legible to married which made me cry more thinking of the fact that is have to one day leave home and start my own family oh Ya Rabb just the thought of that scared me but mum reminded me that it was for the best and that In Sha Allah i would have the best of spouses by his grace. After alot of family moments which Aisha was also involved since she was also family we decided to go dress up and go out so we could have fun, so we got up had our baths and I dressed in my bubu gown and a matching veil that was gifted to me by my mum that morning and we made a plan to head out to silverbird galleria to watch a movie and later to cold stone to get Icecream and possibly pizza and home before it gets late. Getting to silverbird was fun with Aishas constant nagging at Ibrahim for not driving fast enough although he was just learning so he pressed the break hard and unexpectedly which made Aisha hit her head on the dashboard. About 15 minutes later we were already in front of the galleria and she leaped out not even bothering to say thank you to Ibrahim which earned her his famous "you're in trouble glare" Lets go came Aisha's voice who was already ahead of me so I hastened up to catch pace with her but then I bumped into someone who almost pushed me off balance but he managed to catch me and pull me to balance in front of him and he looked rather familiar in his styled up kaftan but I couldn't pick out where we had met until he gave me his mindblowing smile which I shyly replied lowered my gaze and stepped back so he could move but he did the same which made us both chuckle and look at each ourselves which I knew was wrong but couldn't resist I was lost in his gaze at that moment i felt like there was no one else but us around and I wanted to fall in his arms but that was short lived because my friends Aliah and Maimuna jumped behind me screaming happy birthday in my ear which startled me and brought me back to reality Oh Ya Rabb i said turning to look at them with a smile on their face and couldn't help but notice a box in Aliah's hand saying "To Zarah the best friend a girl could ask the Lord for " Reading that I couldn't help but pull her into a bone crushing hug which she returned we both broke the big after a while and to my greatest suprise he was still there waiting with a smile on his and then he wished me a happy birthday and introduced himself saying he hoped that we met again, I was left dumbfounded and my friends just smiled at me and I knew I was in for a lot of questions that day. At the end of the day we all went to my house for dinner so that afterwards we could have a slumber party at my house and they could leave in the morning, after eating my mum have us a few words of advice as we clearing up the table and helping the maid clean up the kitchen her advice always for a way to our hearts and Aisha said that staying here doesn't even make her feel like she lost her mum because my mum was more or less a mum to her and that speech ended up in tears from both my mum and Aisha. We got to my room at 8pm and we all went into the washroom to clean up perform our ablutions and pray before we got on with our slumber party which was very interesting after about 3 hours we decide to sleep so we wouldn't miss the morning Adhan.

Amir's POV
"Babana could you help me get a few things from shoprite later today" came my mum's voice from the other side of the table as we sat for brunch which had somehow become a family tradition over the years, Yes Umma I said taking a sit being the only child of my parents got me things but sometimes I wish I had someone to argue with and becker over the slightest issues but only he wills.
At noon I set out to the silverbird galleria because it had a shoprite and I could get mum a ring I saw her eyeing about a week ago. O Inalillahi i had a rather distinct  familiar voice mutter as I nudged her out of balance too much that she almost fell so I held her hand and pulled her up balancing her in front of me and as she balanced I realised it was the girl from the resturant MaSha Allah I heard my self say as she was looking stunning in her red bubu gown and a veil her apperance was always decent on the two occasions that we've met and that made me smile which she shyly replied by lowering her gaze and stepping back but I did the same and were in each others faces again which made us both chuckle and just as I raised my eyes our eyes met and for that moment i was lost in her gaze and everyone and everything has disappeared and she was the only one I could see but our moment was short lived as two girls jumped behind her saying a happy birthday and i realised it was her birthday so I waited for them to be done with their girly moment so I could wish her and after a while she turned back to leave and I could see this surprised look on her which was cleared when I wished her a happy birthday and introduced my self but as I waited for her to reply my phone buzzed signifying a call so I had to leave but before then I noticed the name of the box in her friends hand that read "To Zarah the best friend a girl could ask the Lord for 😍😍" I wanted to ask for her number when I was done with my call but when I turned back she had left. I only hoped I would see her once again.
