Chapter 6

AlSalam Alaikum/Hello folks,

First of all May Allah's blessings shine always upon you & your beloved ones. Ramadan Karim to everyone. تقبل الله منا صيامه وقيامه

Second of all I'm so proud of my country Algeria. I am so proud of it because it was the only Arab country that presented the Arab world. Though we didn't win against Germany but we did it and scored our Goodbye goal. Yay!

Thank you everyone for your votes, comments, messages & suggestions. They mean a lot!

Please guys don't forget to read Quran in Ramadan. Don't forget to pray especially Taraweeh.

Yeah that's all. Enjoy reading Chapter 6 and have a nice say y'all (:

Salam.

Hilal's POV

I came from Sidney last week to visit my family. I haven't seen them the whole year. Unfortunately I'm coming back to Sidney tomorrow but fortunately I will be back to San Francisco on March.

I'm in my last year in the university and I study Communication and Technology.

Today is my last day in San Francisco. I woke up at 7 am. My mother told me yesterday to wake up early to do some shopping with her.

I had my breakfast with my brother and sister then went to my bedroom and wore jeans and a black T-Shirt and kept my hair as it always is ... messy.

We walked the rainy pavements and streets. The weather was outstanding and it lightly started raining again.

We went to the bakery first and I waited for my mother. While I was waiting for her a girl texted me.

"How are you Hilal?" she texted.

"I'm fine. You?" I texted back.

"I'm great. I missed you!" she texted and my mother came.

"Okay let's go." my mother said.

While we were walking I saw a girl from afar and ... to be honest ... I didn't lower my gaze.

Forgive me ya Allah.

"Oh that's Andalus." my mother said excited.

Andalus? I've heard this name before. Isn't she Rayan's sister?

"Andalus." my mother called walking towards her.

"Alsalam alaikum" my mother said.

"Wa alaikum alsalam aunty. How are you?" Andalus said lowering her gaze.

What on earth is wrong with me?

" I am good. How are you? How's Linda " my mother asked.

"We are fine alhamdulilah. She's coming tonight." she said looking at my mother, trying to not look at me.

"Alhamdulilah." my mother said "Don't you have classes today?"

"Well no I don't. Gladly I don't. Sometimes you just need to forget about the university." she said moving her hands.

And a sack she was holding fell from her hand.

"Oh I'm ... sorry" she said while I took the sack handing it to her.

she flushed tomato red.

"Thank you." she said.

"You're welcome." I said trying to not break my voice.

"This is my son, Hilal " my mother said.

Andalus seemed to be annoyed.

"Ahh." was all she said.

"Well I guess I'm disturbing you. Send my greetings to Linda. Yallah alsalam alaikum." my mother said.

"I'll aunty. w alaikum alsalam." Andalus said with a shy smile.

That girl stole my mind.

The way she talked.

The way she was lowering her gaze.

How she tried to not look at me.

Don't get me wrong people ... That girl was special.

She wasn't like those girls I met back in Sidney.

Can you believe that I thought about her the whole day?

When I was eating.

When I went to Rayan's university.

When the night was so calm and the stars were shining so bright I was there in my bedroom thinking about her.

I wish I could know more about her.

The next day.

" I will so much miss you." my mother said crying.

"I will miss you too. I'll be back on March" I said hugging her.

"I know but it is so hard you know." she paused " please take care "

"I will mom. Take care you too" I said moving to my father " take care dad. " I said tapping his shoulder.

" you too Hilal. Make us always proud." he said smiling.

" I will. It is time to go." I said taking my bag and then my mother let go of my hand.

"Goodbye." my mother said putting her hands on her heart while dad put his arms on her shoulders.

"Bye." I waved at them.

Bye San Fransisco.

Bye America.

I will come back.

And bye ... Andalus.

Hope I will see you again.
