The girls catch up and Zuhayr invites himself for dinner

Chapter 44:

Shuaib P.O.V:

After the successful meet and greetings of our parents I knew things are looking good, then my uncle, the Cape Town one got the news and guess what, he not happy at all, apparently we made a fool of him, and we disrespecting him.

How am I disrespecting him by getting proposed, he knew about Zeenat and that I intended to marry her! Sometimes I think he seeks attention

And it's working, we all just keep arguing and he even dragged my parents into it, saying they never raised me right, he even threatened to disown us, yeah right, we don't need him!

Me: I can't believe he is acting this way, this is unbelievable

Mom: just ignore him honey, he is just being sour because we didn't include him to go for the proposal

Me; I'm trying, but he is getting on my nerve, ugh

Mom: why don't you take a drive up to your ma, she's been wanting to see you, and it will give you a breather from all this tension

Me: sounds great, thanks mom

I went to pack my bags, I quickly phoned Zeenat to tell her of my plans and said I will let her know as soon as am I back.

Zeenat P.O.V:

Shuaib was going to see his granny for the long weekend, although it was just for a few days, I am really going to miss him, we grown attached in a few short months, and our love has truly blossomed. I couldn't have picked a better partner. Insha'Allah we still continue going from strength to strength.

I got a strange phone call from Shuaib mom, apparently there's some stuff she would like to discuss with me in private, high propriety so I said I would meet her later today, at a coffee shop in Musgrave.

I hope that there is nothing wrong....

Zubaida P.O.V:

After work, I discovered a mess, I mean like I never seen the house in this state before... Wonder what going on?!

Me: Salaams what's going on, why is everything upside down?

Mom: well I wanted to spring clean today, but the maid didn't come, so I started and well it just keeps getting more mixed up, how she does it, and in one day is a miracle, from now onwards I will treasure her greatly.

After helping mom with the mess, we sat down with a much needed cup of coffee for a quick chitchat

Mom: so how's my baby doing?

Me: all is well, work is great, my two co-workers are amazing, and things are finally going right with me and Zuhayr

Mom: Aahh the infamous Zuhayr, well baby I am really happy, after that Yusuf break-up, I thought it would take some time to see your smile, but please be careful and take it slow, I am eager to get you and your sister married but it's also important that whoever you choose is of the best for you and him, we raised you and your sister with love and expect whoever marries you also to love and care for you

Me: jee mom, but I also learnt from dating Yusuf that you can date someone or know someone so long will not ensure you will be together, I won't rush it, but if it feels right then we will see.

Mom: that's fine, just know we love you lots okay

Me: I love you too mom.

After finishing up, we prepared dinner and spend the evening together, we all were looking forward to tomorrow night, especially since all they have to do is show up. I would buy all the ingredients during my lunch break so I won't rush to get all ready at home time

Author note:

Wonder what Shuaib's mom wants?

How will Zubaida's dinner turn out?
