Hey, Stranger

Meeting her parents

Amir's POV
I got home that night feeling blessed although I know I had just committed a sin by kissing her but I couldn't resist her and from her response I know she couldn't resist me either. I also made a mental note to talk to mum and dad the next day since she had already told me to come and meet her dad.

The night seemed longer that day as I waited anxiously in bed not even able to sleep as thoughts of My Zarah filled my mind, my alarm rang signalling the time for Subhi prayer. I swiftly left my bed and into the bathroom to perform ablution and pray. I met dad already in position calling the prayer from the mosque we had inside our extra large compound.

He called the prayer and headed inside the mosque with me following him behind, after the prayer as everyone left leaving me and dad in the mosque I moved closer to where he was signalling his attention.
"Is all alright, my son you seem like you need my attention" - A'D (PS:A'D stands for Amirs Dad)
"Dad, I want to speak to you on something really important that I think would better be said in front of Umma" -A
"Okay then, Let's go inside I'm sure she's still praying"
.....................

"Saalamualaikum" We said in Unison as my dad and i entered their personal chamber.
"Waalaikumusalam"- U ( PS: U stands for Umma)
"My beautiful wife, our dear son says he has something to tell us " - A'D
" Oh! Then come sit my son, we are all ears" - U
"Thank you Mum and Good morning my gorgeous mother" I said making my dad look at me with a funny gesture.
" Get married and use your sweet words on your wife and not mine" Dad said coming closer
" Well, dad that's the reason i wanted to speak to you and mum. I think I've found the girl" I uttered somewhat unsure of what they would say.
"Oh! that's great. So who is she?, where is she from? and when can I meet her?" Mum said more eager than I myself to meet her daughter in law.
"Her name is Fatima Mustapha, she works for RS technologies but presently helping us with our banquet preparations.She is 21, Hausa from Kaduna and her dad is Mr Mustapha Inuwa owner of AbuTee pharmacies and you can meet her whenever we go to ask for her hand. If Allah wills." I replied fully stating every fact I knew about her.
"We can go whenever you are ready." Dad said before also praying for my happiness and alongside mum smiling like she would never stop which made me glad that I was nothing but a blessing to both my parents. 

Fatima's POV

"Assalamualikum" I said picking up my phone that has been ringing for only God knows how long without even checking for the caller ID.
"Waalaikumusalam, I thought you didn't want to speak to me." Came his ever so warm voice which made my heart flutter.
"Sorry, but I wasn't close to my phone." I replied sitting in front of my vanity dressing table fully arranged with different makeup product all thanks to my dear Aisha.
"Nevermind, so I was wondering when you would like for me and my family to come meet your dad." He said making me smiling foolishly just as Aisha walked in.

"Fatee! Oh here you are Ive been looking for you. So I was wondering when would you let me meet my future brother in law because I have a lot of things I would like to tell him. Wait why are you smiling?,  are you talking to him right now?. Let me have that phone." She said before dragging the phone from my hand and walking  away to the balcony of our room.

"Salamualaikum, well before you say anything it's not your wife it's her bestfriend Aisha. I'm sure she has said something about me and just to be clear I am not troublesome" Went Aisha on and on not even letting the poor human speak.

"Oh yeah she didn't say anything about me, hmmm I wonder why but by the way she Is glad to have me."

"I know right. So when would you be coming over"

"Saturday would be fine everyone would be at home"

"Allah Hafiz. Thanks for making my friend happy" She said passing me the phone and walking out not even letting me know what she spoke about with him.

"Sorry about her, but...." I didn't even complete my statement before he cut the call leaving me at a cliffhanger.

Aisha's POV

"Wake up! Wake up!! It's Saturday so we have lots of things to do so get up and get ready." I said waking up my bestfriend from her beauty sleep as she likes to call it. 

"Let me rest for a while" She replied getting me tempted to poor ice cold water on her but as I motioned for the fridge she jumped out of bed into the toilet leaving me to pick out her outfit for the day.

I got down and ready for the day as I was really happy that my bestfriend was finally settling down as I had made myself a promise the day I saw her trying to jump off the balcony that I would never let her be unhappy and alone and that I wouldn't get married till she did, afterall what are bestfriends for.

"Mum, there is no need to bother about what food to make I have already  prepared a list of delicacy that Fatee and I would make." I said entering the kitchen while overhearing Fatee's mum ask for what to cook.
................,
The chores went by in a blur with Halima, Ya Faruk's wife came by along with their beautiful daugther Yasmeen and it was time for us to welcome the Billo's with my best friend looking stunning and her would be husband on his way I prayed inwardly for the best of this day.

"I'll get it" I said running towards the door as I heard the bell.

"Assalamuaikum" I said welcoming in our guest while showing them to the parlour.

"Waalaikumusalam" They answered in unison as Amir, a woman I presumed was his mum, a man in his mid sixties with whom Amir bore a striking resemblance to and two other young men about Amir's age walked in all looking sophisticated and classy.

Pleasantries and hugs were exchanged as they walked in met by Umma, Abba, Ya Faruk and his family, Faisal and Ibrahim whom were as well all looking classy and welcoming with beautiful smiles on all their faces.
The fathers and sons were excused as the rest of us all moved up to the other parlour so we could get to know each other.
"Can I meet my daughter in law now. I think I have waited long enough" Amir's mum said finally after looking out the door in search of God knows who which made us all break in to a laugh. I got up to go get my bestfriend whom I met with sweaty palms and a worrisome looking face.

"What's wrong? You should be happy they are here and here you are looking like you saw a ghost" I said dragging her in a warm hug.

"Aisha, I received a massage. I don't know from who but I don't think they would ever let me be happy." She said with teary eyes which also got me worried.
"Don't let that bother you, only Allah can stop this wedding from happening" I said motioning for her to follow me to the vanity table where I fixed her make up and took her out to go meet her to be mother in law.

DING DONG...
DING DONG...
DING DONG...
Went the door bell minutes after Fatee had gotten comfy with her mother in law. I got up and went to answer the door but who I met at the door was the worst person that could have showed up.
