A Muslims Love Story

Chapter 9

Ameena POV:

It had been 2 months since  Muhammed had said yes for the two of us getting married. Auntie Aneesa came over and told us and my mum also said to her that I had said yes too.

It was when Auntie Aneesa came to visit Maryam but when we told her what the baby was called she looked upset and just stared at Yusuf before giving him back to Maryam. Muhammed sister Aisha also came to visit with her children Sara and Khalid. She had another child called Yahya who was sleeping at home and she didn't wanna wake him up.

They kept arguing and fighting it was really cute. The fact they kept screaming at each other made the baby cry. Which also made Khalid cry. As usual I sang the baby the lullaby and strangley Khalid was quiet and Sara made me sing it again. Then Aisha told me that it's strange seeing them actually agreeing on something.

My marriage with Muhammed was in less then a month now and I picked out a wedding  dress. It was a white one and I decided to make it modest so it covered myself till my hands; and also covered myself till my coller bone. I also picked out a white scarf to wear with it. I was thinking about what Muhammed said when we first talked to each other.

Yusuf was 2 months old and became really chubby. He was really cute Alhamdulliah. I had to fight the erge to pull his cheeks whenever I saw him.

"Ameena please can you look after him whilst I go pray please?" Maryam asked. I had already prayed at starting time which is why she asked me.'

Rayhan and my dad were at the restaurant. They were opening a hotel in a couple of months.

"Sure." I said picking him up and playing with him.

"He might cry a lot. He's teething remember. I just took his teething ring out the fridge so if he cries give him that. " She added as she went upstairs. He was growing up alot considering most baby don't grow their teeth at that age. It was strange but the doctor told Maryam and Rayhan that every baby grows at their own pace.

Yusuf started laughing as I placed him on the sofa and played pick-a-bo with him. He then started crying so I gave him his teething ring which he put in his mouth and chewed.

"Sorry I didn't know what else to do." I said to her just in case I did something wrong.

"Its fine. Here give him to me." Maryam laughed taking him into her arms. Amazingly he stopped crying. A mothers love is amazing. I smiled watching her take Yusuf whilst he started laughing.

I couldn't help but remember my mum . A couple of months from now and I would be leaving her.

"Your Dad rang, we're going to have lunch at the restaurant today." My mum came in saying. I looked at her for second and pushed them thoughts to the back of my head.

"I can't go, Muhammed..." I said looking down and slowing down.

"Here comes the blushing." Maryam teased me. I smiled sarcastically at her and looked at Mum who was smiling with amusement. She then looked at me as if she gathered all my thoughts about what I thought about earlier and then looked at the floor.

"Erm... your dad said he's not working today, and were going to be in a special room they've made at the restaurant." She said not once making eye contact with me. I was about to go and hug her as I could tell she was upset until Yusuf started crying. Mum literally ran towards Maryam and took Yusuf off her.

"You two go get ready. I'll take care of him." She said sounding a bit emotional as she went out the room with Yusuf. Me and Maryam looked at each other before following her to the next room.

"Mum." I said as I entered. Her back was turned away from me I could see  Yusuf accross her shoulder. He still had his teething ring in his mouth.

"What! I thought I told you to get ready." She shouted at me sounding emotional.

"Mum, what's wrong?" I asked coming closer and turning her around so she was facing me. Tears were rolling down her eyes.

"Come on Yusuf. Let's go get ready." Maryam said taking Yusuf off my mum. As soon as she did that my mum wrapped her arms around me.

There was nothing but silence for a couple of minutes.

"Come on we need to get ready." My mum said breaking the hug. I looked at her walk out the room.

We then arrived at the restaurant. Rayhan came to pick us up. As promised we had our lunch in a special room. We then decided as a family that the wedding should take place in the restaurant.
