Inner self1: innalilahi,look at the time,its late for crying out loud
Inner self2: well, we should all be grateful you prayed your fajr right on time
Inner self 1: and dont forget your going to create a conference call later
While getting out of bed, she laughs at herselfI think am going crazy,but inner me thank you for reminding me inshaAllahu I won't forget.
Should I brush before going down stairs?
She puts her left hand to cover her mouth and exhales out to smell her breath
With a squeezed face she says
Nahhhhhh!!!!!!! It can wait
She puts on a top then proceeds towards her mother's room which is at the end of the left side of the passage, she knocks three times but no answer and then decides to open the door.
While opening the doorSalamuAlikum mama!!
She looks around but the room is empty,she heads downstairs thinking she might find her in the kitchen, she unconsciously passes the parlour without noticing the presence of somebody there as she enters the kitchen and greets her mom,it dawns on her
With an open mouth
