On The Wings Of Dream

Chapter 15: problems again

Yusrah went back inside the house and fell on Ummi's lap and squealed in delight.

Ummi pinched her cheeks and smiled down at her.

"Aren't you even shy?".

She hid her face in her palms. Abbu smiled seeing the happiness in his daughter's eyes.

Bilal...

He drove in and parked his car carelessly in the parking space, and quickly went inside.

"Mummy!".

He shouted her name.

She came out from the kitchen with an apron on her body.

"Kai lafiya? Why are you shouting my name?".

"Ohhh mum am so happy today!"

He said, taking her hand in his and sat her down on a sofa.

She looked at him, wondering what the excitement was all about.

"Mum Yusrah's father is finally giving me her hand in marriage. He said I should send over my parents immediately I return in six month's time".

He said, his eyes glistening with joy.

Mommy frowned and gave him an angry look.

"Who is Yusrah?".

"Mom she is the girl in my heart".

He said, dreamily, closing his eyes, putting a hand on his chest.

Mommy hissed, bringing him out of his love dreams.

"And what about your cousin, Zarah?".

"Ohhh good gracious, MOM!".

He said, his facial expression hardening.

Mom hissed, stood up and went back to her work in the kitchen, totally ignoring him.

Bilal held his head in his hands.

Why is mom doing this to him?

He puffed out breaths and went into his room.

It was magrib time so he went out to the mosque beside his house and prayed, he stayed in the masjid, doing tasbah, and when it was time for isha prayer, he prayed before going back into the house.

He went straight to his room and lied on the bed.

He grabbed his phone and dialed Yusrah's number.

She was folding her clothes, which she washed earlier in the day when her phone, which was on the mat, started ringing.

She saw the caller ID and smiled before picking up.

"Baby".

He whispered through the phone. She moaned inside, feeling his love surging through her.

"How are you?".

"Am fine".

She replied, holding the phone between her ear and shoulder, and folded the last cloth before sitting on her mattress, a soft smile playing on her face.

"Baby are you missing me already?".

"Of course darling".

She whispered back to him.

They talked for sometime before hanging up.

He smiled at his phone and kept it on the bedside drawer.

He stood up and went to sit on the couch in his room, grabbing his Laptop and booting it.

He booked his flight online and continued surfing the internet.
