Life Goes On

chapter 12

Raz's POV.

I wonder what's happening in Amina's room. Its almost an hour now since Masoud came, I hope my sister will be fine.

We have been trying to prepare lunch for the past one hour,and we are successful to making, the best beef lasagne, and the best tiramisu. We decided to cook Italian today since my sister loves it. It's like we making a treat for her.

As we were cooking we hear the door of my sis room closed and footsteps coming downstairs. I guess Masoud is done with my sister.

As soon as he leaves the house I go to lock it and goes to the kitchen I know for now my sis won't like it if I go to see her or if anyone tries to talk to her she will burst crying.

We were almost done cooking when mom comes to the kitchen.
"Assalaamu aleykum, young ladies, so how was your sleepover?" Mom says,
"Wsallaam, it was good aunty, and how are you this morning?" Asked the respectful one in our group Fatima, and the wisest of all.

"Where is Amina,I asked her to wake me up so that I can cook lunch, but she didn't." Mom said panicking, "please girls start helping me with the food."

"Come on mom, you look very tired. Anyways we are done cooking lunch and the lasagne is almost ready and the tiramisu is in the fridge already." I said to my mom, and the truth is she looks sick from the past few days, but I think its just wedding stress.

"Plus Amina is in her room, I think she is tired so we let her rest." I said.
"OK it's almost dhuhr prayer so go get ready so that we all pray together." Mom says, we all nods our heads, and I told the girls to go first, as I have to check on the lasagne.

As they left I checked on the lasagne and it was perfectly ready. So I went to my room and took ablution. We  still have half an hour before the prayer, so we decided to read quran in the prayer room. Yes we have one prayer room so that when the whole family gathers we pray together.

Soon we hear the adhaan, (call to prayer) and my mom lead the prayer. I kept my Quran (holy book) on the shelf and start praying all together.

We finished praying after a good of fifteen minutes, and mom start making supplications for everyone.

I don't know if it's just me seeing weird but I find my mom older and weaker,I will need to ask her later what's wrong.

I hear the door being opened, and I know it's either my dad, or my brother Ali, we all stood up and went to the kitchen to serve the food, and I saw it's my brother who came.

"Salaam aleikum little sister how you?" My brother Ali asked. "Alhamdulillah am good how's work?" I asked back, and we keep on chatting until I hear the door open and I see my dad coming in.

I run to my dad and hugged him, "salaam aleikum baba, you have lost weight baba look at you, you are super thin now." I told my baba after so long I gave him a hug and he seems weaker.

"Ooh isn't that good my princess." Dad   said back, "salaam aleykum uncle how you?" Fatima asked when we entered the dining room.
"Wsallaam Habibty, am fine and how you?" Dad smiled at my cousins aka my friends.

We all sat down to eat,then dad remembered Amina. "where is Amina?" Dad asked, "she is in her room resting." I said, "okay then tell her, that her in laws will be coming, tomorrow to talk about the wedding."
Dad said.

So my dear readers how is the story so far.
Would you prefer Amina to get married to Masoud.
How about we know what's wrong with Masoud.
