The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

• "To believe in Allah, His Angels, His Scriptures, His Messengers, resurrection after death, and in destiny whether good or bad, sweet or bitter."

It's been two days since Raidat had the conversation with Asrah ...... Kabir is yet to call her,while Asrah didn't bother to ask her friend about him... Although she is anticipating soon anytime her phone right she silently, prays he is the one

on her way back home that day, she decides to branch a saloon to make her hair. she thought of sending her sister a message of her reason of delayment when she noticed a missed call from an unknown  number.

Ooh my phone has been on silent!!

Who could  be this?!

She soliloquized!

Let me check from true caller........

Oooh!its kabir !(she said with happiness )

Should I call back?!

No ..it might make him think am that eager to talk to him...

Let me wait and see if he will call back first....

She thought!

On the other hand the kabir has been wondering why she didn't pick his call after Raidat had told her he will call any moment.

Could this girl be up to something?! Or she does not even like me.

Asrah :
Anyways I hope he calls back at a good time and not when am busy!

Kabir :
Let me call once more if she doesn't pick then I got my reputation to protect as well.....

He re-dialed back her number and Asrah never waited for it to ring twice before she picked it to avoid been the one ending up to call back.

Few minutes kabir called back again....and Asrah picked it up.

Kabir : Asalaam Alaikum warahamtullahi wabarakatuhu...

Asrah : wa'laikums Salam warahamtullahi wabarakatuhu.

Kabir :This is kabir , Raidat 's cousin brother ....

Asrah :welcome sir.(with happiness )

Kabir :How u today?!

Asrah :Good alhamdulilah.
Am sorry please If u don't mind can u call me back in next an hour because am just returning back home and might not hear u well....

Kabir : Absolutely no problem....I will inshallah.....take care.

Asrah :You too.

They hanged up the call....and Asrah arrived home 45minutes later than the usual.

She took her shower,and decided to use the little time left to prepare the dinner, fortunately for her,her sister has done that.

She went to her bedroom to appreciate her help.

She went to her father's room to greet him. After normal greeting

Father :come over daugher!want to  discuss something with you.

Asrah moved closer and sat close to her dad on his well laid bed....

Yes sir!

Asrah: you know it's now getting to a year that u have resumed office.....And been a big firm am sure many staffs there should be responsible enough to have.....(blabbing)u know!
