my stepsister (book2##)

twenty six

Zarah woke up from the sofa-bed she's sleeping on for her subh prayer. She went into the bathroom and performed abulotion. She roamed through ramlahs wardrope in search of hijjab, she took out a blue long hijjab, spreaded her sallaya (prayer mat) and started to pray the Raka'a taanil fijr, afterwards prayed her subh prayer.

She raised her hands to prayer to her God after she had said her salaam. She prayed to Allah to prevent her from the shaytan (devil), and her musibah. She softly whispered allahumma ajirni minnan naar (O'Allah prevent me from entering the hell-fire ) seven times- A dua which prevents one from entering the hell if it said on the magrib and subh prayer seven times.

She also asked Allah to show her a way to know who of the two(zayed or jafar) to choose. After all the adhkaars ,she woke up muna, ramlah and marwa for the sallat too.

After some minutes they all retired to bed leaving Zarah awoke, eyes wide open prayingrl for the sun not to come out, for, she didn't know what she would do when the sun sets, and the night begins.

It was at nine o'clock when all of them woke up, they took their bath, got ready and headed to the kitchen for their breakfast.

"What are the ladies cooking for us today " ammar who came in with marwan trailing behind him spoke.

" toasted bread, omlett and tea " they all sat down at the dinning table to eat their meal.

Except for jafar who hasn't came in yet.

"You see, Ramadan is in two weeks time. Its approaching fast" marwan spoke.

Zarah excused herself and went into the room in order to avoid jafars presence.

"Yeah, and am most excited about it" ramlah exclaimed

Jafar came in

"Assalma alaikum" he salaamed

"Wa alaikum as salaam" they answered back.

"You look ready to go out somewhere" ramlah said

"Yeah, I will meet Jamaal and muhsin now" he answered

"Talking about them ,I haven't seen them lately " marwah spoke

"Yeah I guess" he grab an apple and left.

The girls went to their room to get ready, for, they will be paying salon a visit.

Muna has learnt how to drive in the past few weeks, but she's still a learner. She drove them to the salon which is 2 hours drive for a normal driver, but for a learner like muna ,it took them about 3 hours to reach.

They washed and set their hair and transformed it into a straight hair, cascading down to their back, which is easier for them to pin their hijjab or tie it into ponny tail or bun.

"Let's stop at a diner, I can't cook anything when we get back " zarah spoke

"Yeah me neither" ramlah said. They parked their car at a presentable diner.

Granny's diner

They entered the place which has less crowd, they sat at the far end of it and ordered their food.

"What of the...."

"They can eat themselves for all I care" muna interrupted ramlah which she knew what she was going to say.

"This food is nice, I would miss it when Ramadan comes" marwa spoke admiring the place and their food.

"Its not like you have been here for like thousand times that you would miss it" Zarah said rolling her eyes
