AMNAH

Chapter 4

  ____________________________________

The beautiful rays of the morning sunlight woke me up from my deep slumber..... I sat down on the bed and stretched my hands and rubbed it on my sleepy eyes...... I said the dua and lead my way to the bathroom, I washed my mouth and then performed wuddhu (ablution).  I sprayed my praying mat and start to pray, after I was done I woke up Manal to pray too and went to Mum's hotel room opposite ours to greet her.
I salaamed and went into the room, I saw mama reading her morning dua's book I don't just want to interrupt her because she didn't even know I was in the room, so I cracked my throat to let her turn my direction, I greeted her and told her to put us in her dua's she smiled by saying OK my "lu-lu" which made me blushed and I went away happily from the room.
  Manal saw me and asked me, why I was happy this morning, I didn't gave her an answer, she opted and said 'oh did someone asked you out on a date while you went to greet mum' she said sarcastically.  Yeah, maybe it was you I said in an unpleasant tone, that reminds me I have a message I haven't replied to I said in my thoughts.

*****************************

I flew back on my bed and grabbed my iPhone i called my bestie Hafsat. Hafsat is my first best friend ever since we met at college, she has a sister named Fatima and her Mum whom I called umma and her dad I regarded him as my own dad she is also like me, our habit but not into celebrity stuffs. We chatted a lot apparently for like thirty minutes after then I logged into my twitter and read the message sent to me again "Salamualaikum, I know you don't know me, lemme tell you a brief biography about me. Am from London, am a Muslim and am 27........................ At last he said his name ' I am by name "Aarif Hamed".   I was on my bed just smiling and I decided to to just say hi.
----------------------------------------
I also remembered the guy whom we met at the candy store I promised to call him so I have to fulfill my promise, I wanted Manal to leave the room so I started taking pictures and went close to her to make her take photos with me and I know she hates it so I continued doing it, at last she surrendered and left the room, yay my plan worked 'I giggled happily'

I quickly looked for the handbag I wore the day and searched for the complimentary card I checked it and copied his number his name was indicated too Aamir Muhammad was his name, I quickly called the number and after a few seconds he picked the call up. I cleared my throat and started with a salaam he answered with a sweet, soft voice replying Wa'alaikissalam I instantly went nuts(crazy) with his voice as he answered uh... uhmm I stammered, I was the lady we met at the candy and you gave me your complimentary card indicating your number and your name Aamir, did you remember I said he quickly answered by saying yes-  yes you called back I never knew you were going to call me thanks for calling,
                Can I know your name please

OK, the name is Amnah

Amnah! he said sweetly what a nice name..........
We talked for like ten minutes and I wanted to hang up but he was very inquisitive though I didn't gave him all the answers he was asking me because I wasn't still satisfied with him. At last I hung up and sighed heavily.

****************************
I had finished all my social media stuffs, and prayed too I went to mama's room to chit-chat Manal was there too we sat as a usual family and chatted so much before it was time for Maghrib prayer. We all went to perform wuddhu' and pray together tonight we were all united together for the rest of the night.

---------------------------------------------------

**Next day**
Amnah and Manal woke up and did their daily routines as usual (pray, greeting, bath, reading Quran and surfing with their phone_ Amnah precisely). 

Amnah always chat with Aamir on WhatsApp, and Aarif continues to disturb her on Twitter and she normally don't respond every time to his messages.

Nobody knows about this friendship we're having with Aamir only my best friend hafsat knows about it because I can't tell anyone about it.
My mum's reaction to me will be so harsh for me, so I can't tell her. I continued answering the questions am having in my thoughts

*****************
Preparing to go back to Nigeria? What!? Mum! But can't we.....
enough with the buts I told you we are going back to Nigeria tomorrow so get all your things ready before tomorrow, we're having a morning flight so get prepared Mama added.

I went back to our room and found out Manal was sleeping I was pacing round the room and thinking on what to tell Aamir that we can't meet tomorrow. We were to meet at  a restaurant to get to know each other tomorrow and now I can't, how should I start he will think I still do not trust him, let me try I said boldly. I searched his name in my contact and sent him the awful news he wasn't happy at all but he had to be patient, I felt relieved and with that I got to sleep in peace and prepare for our trip back to NG the next day....................

Pretty late update, I was super busy with school this days, what is the hardest stage in school when you are in last grade in high school I think and that's really my problem, but...........................
