💕The Perks Of Being Niqabi (ON HOLD)

4

The next morning..

I wake up for school after hearing the alarm, I decide to have a shower because I was going to Aisha's house for a sleepover. I pick out my new long blue dress with tiny sequins and a matching shawl to wear after my shower, I blow dry my hair and comb it into a long plait and I put my lotion on to keep my skin nice and moisterised then I put my niqab on. I go downstairs and make breakfast for mum, dad and me. I decide to make waffles topped with golden syrup and raspberry's with tea and coffee. Since mum and dad aren't awake yet I leave their breakfast on the table, hopefully it doesn't get cold by the time they come down..

After school..

After school, Aisha and I go to her house for the sleepover. 'I wish Aminah came' I say doubtfully.

'' Yes me too but she had a man coming to her house''

'' A man?, which man how did you know about this Aisha?''

'' Well she might be getting married!'' she blurted out.

'' Oh my Allah!, really!? she never told me''

'' Yes, maybe she forgot but I can't wait! our best friend is getting married!''

   At Aisha's house..

When we entered Aisha's house her mother was standing at the door. 'Asalamualaikum' I say and give her a hug. 'Walaikumusalam' she replies and hugs me back.

''How have you been Fatima?, I haven't seen you in a while'' she says cheerfully

''Yes allhumdulillah i'm fine i've just been a bit busy for the past few days''

''Would you like anything to eat habibti?'' (sweetie)

Jazakalla khair, but no i'm fine.

Aisha and I head upstairs to her room. We both decide to watch a horror movie.

''I'll go get the popcorn'' she says.

''Okie'' I get excited.

She comes back upstairs with a big bag of popcorn and she was hiding some extra sweets and crisps supposedly for our midnight feast.

''I got these extras for our midnight feast''

''Great'' I say

'' Oh no!'' I panicked

''What?''

''I forgot to tell mum I was coming here''

''How about you text her now''

So I texted mum and she said it was alright, but I had to be back by tomorrow. When the movie was finished we went to the bathroom to make wudhu for namaz and prayed. After we sat on Aisha's bed and talked about Aminah.

''Do you think Aminah's really going to get married?'' she asks me hopefully

'' I really can't say, but lets hope for the best that Allah will give her the right choice''

'' Yes inshallah''

We put our pyjamas on and do each other's makeup and take selfies. After that Aisha puts the spare mattress for me in her room and makes it as comfy as possible. We ended up having our midnight feast before midnight because we were so tired. The next day we got a call from Aminah..

''Hey girls how are you'' Aminah said, sounding excited

''Alhumdulillah'' we both reply

'' I have some news for you guys!''

'' What is it!'' we both say

'' You know that man that came yesterday?, well my parents thought that he was a good man and he is really into his deen and he is a hafiz (a person who has memorised the Quran off by heart) and so I am getting married to him!"

"Oh my goodness congratulations Aminah!" We both are so excited!
"You are going to invite both of us on you wedding aren't you?"

"Of course I am, you two are my 2 besties I ain't having a wedding without you's, well I better get going now maybe you two can come shopping with me for my wedding I want you both to be my bridesmaides."

"We both would love that, see u later!"
