The rejected niqabi

The meeting

"This one? or this one?"naheemah asked excitedly

She had been trying to help me prepare for the meeting with the man's family ever since i had finished working thirty minutes ago .

"I couldn't care less" i answered in a tired voice "I told you to do it alone and let me sleep"

Her smile shifted she turned back to my closet dropping the scarf. Great , now i have to apologize to her . oh if she had just let me sleep , i wouldn't be so cranky now. "imah" i called using her favorite nickname , "i didn't mean to snap at you . i'm just so tired " i said standing up to touch her shoulder .

When she made no move, i quickly said " how about you choose an outfit for each of us from my new clothes and i'll help you and not be mean about it. she perked up at that,"really"she said and i quickly nodded ." yaaaaaaaaay" she screamed as i pressed my hand on my poor ears.

She quickly turned back to my closet and went to my specially designed cupboards that stood out among the rest and started pulling out my most expensive clothing, jewelry and purses that i had gotten when i had won some money from the supermarket. I watched a she picked out four different outfits probably waiting for my advice.

"so which one" she asked pulling me out of my daydream. I ended up choosing a red niqab, hijab  and a black abaya with a lot of shiny red rhinestones. i protested against the outfit for a long time before i gave up when she wasn't budging. I wanted  revenge so i made her choose a bright yellow dress with a royal blue hijab which also had yellow rhinestones.

All of a sudden, she threw a pillow at me . "What was that for" i asked throwing the pillow back at her . before we knew it, we already started a pillow fight and we were also screaming and laughing at the same time like maniacs.

"Watchu doing" raheem asked as he walked inside before stopping short and staring at us with a "what the jahanam" look on his face.we both stopped to look at him before he grabbed my pillow and whacked my head with it . he grinned wickedly as naheemah did the same with a mischievous look. I managed to get out a " not fair" before they resumed their beating .

                                                 ********************************

I woke up and went to wash my face before preparing breakfast or trying to anyway before raheem came in screaming my name.

 ''shut your trap up " i screamed back at him in a  lower voice. 

" can't a boy be happy about breakfast without been yelled at " he asked smugly

"whatever" i replied 

'so your meeting the love of your life today" he inquired with an extremely revolting accent

"what the jahanam, i don't even know the guy" i replied too quickly

" mhhmn" he said leaving the kitchen with a box of juice

As you guys would have guessed now, mama has left me with my duties again after given me a picture of "you know who". Naheemah had quickly snatched it and wouldn't stop talking about how unfair it is that i'm getting such a hunk . assalamu alaykum minnie, nahi greeted ;entering the kitchen.

"wa alaykum salam wa rahmatullah" i replied

"so we meet the hunk today?" she questioned

"Is that all you guys are thinking about" i retorted

"You are no fun ", she replied before leaving me to panic alone 

                                                                                ************************************

i stood up to check what was happening outside and the sight before me made my jaw drop in awe

" there were a freaking limos outside my effing window along with a range rover." what the eff" i said

"they are here ,they are here" raheem kept screaming as he ran around the house

will you stop making noise or don't you think we have been embarrassed enough " i asked him with my voice just above a whisper

"what are you talking about" asked nahi as she entered my room

i took her to my window and showed her the cars 

"Ya Allah " she said when she saw them

"exactly" i replied curtly

" i wonder where he works for him to have so much money" she said

I was still puzzled as to why i would get a proposal talk less of the man being so rich

"Naheemah" mama called  from downstairs followed by the opening and closing of doors

nahi patted my back and quickly left to probably get them drinks and food

i suddenly realized that nahimah was all dressed up in the outfit i chose for her as i saw her yellow hijab disappear out of the door. i sat on my bed and after about five minutes of nervous waiting i was called to go downstairs. i walked down the stairs extra slowly as if i would stop time. When i finally made it downstairs, i stood i front of the double doors that opened into the the living room . I gave myself a quick pep talk and immediately i saw the man, i started shaking so much that i didn't see the stool in front of me and tripped.
