LOVE OR FRIENDSHIP?

The Get Together

Salman's POV 

                   I was amazed when I saw Juliet wearing the same outfit as mine. She was looking gorgeous as always. I didn't realize I was staring at her until the vehicle what we hired came and stopped in front of us. I hope no one noticed it. It wasn't too long though because just as she arrived at school the vehicle too arrived in five minutes time.

                   We were welcomed by Aliza's mom and she directed us to the couch in the living room as she went by the stairs and screamed for Aliza.

"Alizaaa... Your friends are here"

" Alright mooom. I'm coming"

                    Aliza came down within five minutes and sat with us in the couch. She was wearing a black long pinafore with white polka dots on it, beneath it was a white long sleeved t shirt and she had draped a white hijab around her head. She was looking nice too. She's always with her hijab and I've never seen her hair.

               Aliza's mom served us some mango juice and Aliza took us upstairs to her room after we have finished drinking.

               Her room was huge and beautiful. There was a mini living room in the right, with a set of sofa, stool, television and a computer table. When you walk straight from the door there is a small staircase with around five steps to walk down to the place where her bed is, so here there was her bed, a closet to the right, a dressing table with a mirror fixed to the wall in front of the bed, a beanbag to the side and a study table with the chair and the lamp. The whole room was carpeted with plain navy blue. Blue and white was the theme colour. The window was open with a navy blue and white curtain hanging. On the bed was a white bed sheet with a navy blue bed spread.

"Aliza.. I thought you are a girl and you like pink?" Said Kaym examining the room.

"Phew.. No.. I hate pink. Its too girly"

"Haha great"

"Your room is beautiful Allie" Omar said and Aliza thanked him for his comment.

               She took us to her bed and we were seated on her bed, but all of us couldn't fit in so Aliza took the chair which was a little away from the bed and Omar took a seat on the beanbag a few inches away from Aliza. It was almost 4:30 in the evening.

"Do you people remember why actually we are here" 

"We seem like we are here to spend the day, relax and have fun" 

"Okay then, Let's start"

"let's do it in the couch. It would be much easier" said Aliza and took us to the mini living room which is in her bedroom itself. 

                      Few were seated on the couch and few on the ground. All of us took out our papers, pens and other necessities to make the project but none of us had found notes. Aliza switched on her PC and started browsing for points. By the time she found a few and saved it in the PC it was almost 6:15pm.

"It's time for Maghrib (a prayer which Muslims pray at this time of the day). Let's pray and continue" said Omar to which I replied looking at Aliza "Isn't there a masjid (a place where Muslims pray; a mosque) anywhere around?" 

"Yeah, the Masjid is close by. You can go walking. As you leave my house turn left, walk straight till you take the first turn to your left again and there you would find the masjid to your right after a couple of houses"

"We too need a break" said the rest.

               Myself, Omar and Aliza left the room and headed downstairs. She told that she has to pray too. She opened the door for us and we left the house following the direction she had informed us and we found the Masjid easily.
