She found me and I found Allah

Chapter 5

~~Hey guys!
I hope you all are liking the story so far. This story is originally written through Ali's point of view however, there will be chapters that will be from the other characters point of view and i'll mention the name of the person who's point of view it is from. If theres no mention then its Ali's point of view. ~~

*ALIYA'S POV*

I woke up to the feel of strong arms wrapped around me. This feeling was unusual but I knew that in no time I would get used to this amazing man lying beside me. He looked so peaceful while sleeping. It was almost like some angel in a body. The way he confronted me that day in the park and then us getting married, all this was pretty hectic and shocking but whatever happened in the past, assured me that this handsome man next to me was the one for me.
I looked at the clock only to see that there were still two hours left for fajr  and this meant i had two more hours to sleep but with so many things on my mind, I doubted that I would get any sleep.
             I checked my phone and I had a text from my bestfriend asking me how things were and I decided to text her instead of going back to sleep. She asked me how everything went and how sorry she was that she couldnt make it and that she would visit asap.
             I still remember that day when he asked me to talk to him in the park. No doubt he scared the living hell out of me but come on, that would be anyones reaction if some stranger suddenly came up to them and asked them to talk. All in all, I was thankful to have him. He told me that he wasn't a good person and seeing me changed that. I still wonder what happened in his past that made him as he says bad. Yes we still dont know each other a lot. We only met once after our marriage was fixed and believe it or not we didn't talk the whole time. He just kept looking at me like I was some angel fallen from the skies or something. He freaks me out a bit sometimes but atleast I know what he feels for me is true. And I hope to see you soon bestie because you're probably the only one I miss at the moment. And other than the wedding and the hectic schedule nothing much has happened xXx
And after pressing the sent button, I just lied in the arms of the man I had been married to for less than twenty-four hours and thought about how beautiful life could be.
         

*ALI'S POV*

"Wake up gorgeous, it's fajr."
I saw her move a little in her sleep. I saw the phone in her hand and it seemed like she woke up in the middle of night. I just wanted to keep looking at her serene figure while she was asleep but I couldn't do that. Praying at the moment was more important.
"Babe wake up or else you'll be late and then you'll blame me because I woke up and didn't wake you up."
"God don't start whining like a baby." She said sleepily.
"You don't really want me to carry you to the bathroom now do you wifey?" I laugh.
"Wait what. Im sure you wouldn't do that on the first morning of our wedding. And im up. I just need a little bit of sleep aannn-"
"Wait you're asleep again. God this is it. Im gonna carry you to the bathroom if thats how you wanna wake up." And saying that I carried her off the bed bridal style while she just squealed in my arms.
"Put me down Ali, i'll fall!"
"Nope wifey. You can trust me. I will never let you fall," hearing that brought red tints to her cheeks and she just buried her head in my chest trying to hide herself. "No matter how much I love you cuddling with me in front of the toilet door, we really need to pray before it's late and you blame me for it." I said kissing her forehead and putting her on her feet.
             
               
*ALIYA'S POV*
            "I usually go to the mosque to pray but it was one of my wish to pray fajr with my wife on the first day of our lifes journey together." I heard Ali say as he came out of the bathroom while I was putting a praying mat out for myself. This guy,I internally facepalmed, had similar wishes now. I just silently nodded my head and waited for him to put his mat a little in front of mine and then together we prayed the first prayer of the day and possibly our life and the journey ahead. It was a very peaceful moment. It was as if time itself had stopped so we could worship Allah and thank him for giving us each other. It was a great start to a great life hopefully.
           And then just like that, our eyes met after praying and we just stared at eachother and the sun was rising, shining its rays upon us and it seemed like the world was in our favour. For once even the sun believed that we deserved all the happiness in the world and we deserved the little life we were going to live in this big world. For once in life, I believed that this happiness I had found was permanent but the fear of losing him and this happiness made me weak and vulnerable however, this time, the happiness overpowered the fear and I knew that this man I was staring at right now would never let me down and break. I knew that he would never leave me like most people had. And this mesmerizing human had already found the courage I had lost somewhere in my past. And this time I thought to myself, i'll make sure that this courage stays with me forever. And then just like that I neared him and onto his praying mat and put my head on his shoulder and just watched the sun rise and feel the overwhelming happiness it sent throughout my body.

*ALI'S POV*
I had finished praying before her and I just sat on my mat and looked at her. And then she finished praying and looked at me. And thats when I felt it. It was like something was connecting inside me. Some void that had been empty for so long was finally filled. It was like pure happiness was running through my body and my blood. It was like we didn't need words to describe what we felt towards eachother. Our eyes were enough. They were already having a conversation and our souls, they were already connected and it didn't matter to us whether we talked at this moment because the suns rays were shining on us and our eyes were looking at each other connecting our souls and happiness was being radiated and it was a perfect first moment that we both captured through the pupils of our eyes.  And then she moved and sat next to me. And for a moment I was taken aback but proud at the courage she showed. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer to me and kissed her forehead. I let my lips linger there for a few seconds feeling the pleasure we both were feeling. I felt her smile and I took her hand in mine  and put my head on hers and we just stared at the sunrise. It felt like we were in bliss and we didn't want to get up but the sun had fully risen now and we needed to catch up on a few hours of sleep before we would be greeted by guests all over again.
