The Black Truth (A Muslim's Story) ON HOLD

Special Treat

Chapter 3

Jamila's P.O.V

"So are you up to shopping "

"naah... let's go home, I wanna sleeeep" I screeched on the E,

"then off we go to the mall" 

I sighed loudly and walked un wantingly with her to the mall,

as it was a five minute walk.

  By the time we walked in Maysa grabbed

me and pulled towards my favourite shop.

"there is no need for the pulling sis!" I stated as yanked my hand from her.

"Well, Well, what do we have here?" Maysa asked as we entered the abbaya shop.

As I could see were she was staring, I saw that there was some new collection of Abbayas,

I quickly walked towards them and gave them a close look,

wow they really look good.

purple and black, brown and beyg, navy blue and silver and pink and black and more and more....

I grabbed all of them and sighed proudly as I put them in a basket, guess that the shopping won't be as bad as I thought after all.

"Abbayas ?" 

"Check!" 

"Dresses?"

"Check!"

"Shoes?"

"Check!"

"Tops and Shirts?"

wow she asked two questions at one time

phew!

"Check!"

"Trousers and Pants?"

What a miracle

"Check!"

"Hoods and Cardigans?"

"CHECK!" I answered proudly

my favourite part of the questions.

"Accessories ?"

"Check!"

"Make up?"

"check.... enough Now can we go to the food court?" I asked her. My stomach was roaring,

from all that walk and talk and changing God knows how many kilos I have lost so far.

"We just ate lunch at the orphanage did you forget or something?"

"Well it seems that you are the one who is forgetting? if you remember we left the orphanage

after Asr (afetrnoon) prayer and Its almost 8 o'clock and.." we were cut off by the 

roar of my stomach. I couldn't wait any longer, I grabbed the bags that was with me and walked towards 

the food court. I ordered myself chicken burger and some fries with coke as I saw Maysa coming

towards me.

"So you decided joining me huh?" I asked her with a smirk,

"just Shut up!"

"Do you want me to order you something?" I looked at her face searching for an answer,

"Just a fish fillet combo with a fanta and some sauce" JUST!

I nodded my head and gave the order.

By the time we were done eating It was 9 o'clock sharp,

Wow you can really waste your time in eating,

I stood up and went to Basking Robins.

"I heard you are leaving soon " Uncle Walid asked 

"Yeah" It seemed that Maher ahs told him already.

Maher is Maysa's older brother by three years, 

we came to this place for five years.

It was then Maher who decided to work here

at his free times and Uncle Walid was like a father

to us, we would always come here after school,

I smiled as remembered at the memory

"Well I decided to give you a special treat tonight" Uncle Walid smiled at me,

thats when I saw Maher coming in with an enourmous Banana split

I could feel my mouth hanging and some saliva started leaking

"Oh Its so ..." I was speechless ,it was really amazing,

A 7 scoop banana split and the were all vanilla, caramel and mostly chocolate

I could also see the chocolate and caramel sauce with nut crunches and topped with cream and

Berry!

I took the spoon and started diiging in,

I looked up from my heaven and looked at their faces

Uncle Walid's big smile , well I guess he was right after all this was the 

best treat ever.

as I could also see Maysa eating hers

with a smirk on her face, I smiled genuinly and wished if that moment could last forever
