FIRDAUS

Shopping

It was Saturday and Fifi was feeling a bit lazy and bored.

They were into the sallah break and it was just unbearably boring because she was home alone.

Her mom is away for hajj and sakina has gone to Kaduna, to her uncle's house to celebrate the sallah with them, Ahmad is around but he hardly stays indoors.

She decided to call saada so they could hang out but her phone wasn't going.after trying a couple of times she decided to just go for shopping.

She wore a blue abaya and a black veil,applied some makeup and sauntered out

Shoprite was full, many people were there to do their sallah shopping. She bought a few cereals and some ice cream before heading for the counter.

A long line was there so she just brought out her phone and checked her messages.

"Assalamu alaykum" a familiar voice called, she looked up and almost chocked on her spit when she saw him

"Heyyy" she said trying to hide her nervousness

"Am sorry did i scare you"

"No....... no you didn't" she smiled

"You recognize me don't you" he asked looking at her

"Yeah i do,its khamis zahra's brother"

"I thought you wouldn't"

"Come on you saved my life the other day by taking me home, i can't possibly forget that"

It was her turn to pay and so she moved to the counter with him following

"You know what Fifi I'll just pay for this " he said with a wide smile

She felt some kind of heat rise up to her throat, the way her name came out of his mouth was marvelous

"No please I'll just pay besides....."
"I insist" he said cutting her off

He paid for both their things and he walked her to her car.

"Can i have your number?" He asked

"Yeah sure"

They exchanged number and he asked for her name, she gave him the like-seriously-you-dont-even-know-my-name-look and he explained better

"You know I've only heard my sister call you Fifi but I don't know your real name"

"It's FIRDAUS" she replied with a smile

"Wow you have such a nice name"

"It's not half as nice as yours" she said using her hands to indicate

They chatted on and on until she realized it was getting late

"So sorry but i have to go" she announced

"No problem and can we please go out sometime maybe during sallah"

"That's okay" she smiled

"I'll call you"

She nodded before entering her car and speeding off.

It was after Maghreb when she got home and found Ahmad and his friends in the living room watching black panther.

She salamed and went straight upstairs, after praying and freshening up she changed into her nightware.

She was heading out from her closet when she noticed her purse on her mirror.

OMGG!!!!,so she left it here and went to the mall.khamis saved her life again,it would have been the most embarrassing moment of her life.

She thanked her stars and silently prayed that God should bless khamis, to think that she was even insisting on paying. Pfft Fifi!!!. Na only God save your life.

She moved to her bed and picked her phone.

She had two undead messages, both from khamis.her heart raced as she opened it

"As you retire for the night may all the peace and blessings of Allah be with you and may you see me in your dreams"

"I am thinking about you right now and i hope it's kinda same for you, sleep tight my dear
Khamis"

Firdausi couldn't stop smiling, she held the phone to her chest and kept on muttering "alhomdillilah".she thought for a while before replying

" I wish to dream about you but not just any dream a good one and as for thinking about you, ofcourse mr saviour. Have a good night
FIRDAUS "

Khamis,s joy knew no bounds when he saw her reply.

He prayed two Long raka'ats prolonging his thanks to his lord after which he went to bed.

And that was how their world started, khamis showering all his love on Fifi and her opening her heart to accommodate him.

They haven't met again since at the mall but they were gradually going into each other.they were to go out together during the sallah celebrations and they both can't wait.

So also meee, what about you? Aren't you excited? Let's wait for the next chapter to see how the outing is going to be.

Happy sallah once again and please give me my goron sallah which is yourrr VOOTTE plssss

Love you💟
