Ashraf's POV

"I informed princess that I would like to speak to her later in the night " I announced to Ahmad

"What are you going to tell her then? " Ahmad asked

"I will ask her to date me , because I want to be sure of my feelings " I replied

"Hahaha you are not serious white Arab, how can you ask her out and then tell her you ain't sure of your feelings? " Ahmad paused and continued

"Let me help you solve this puzzle. We have been childhood friends and I know you more than I know myself. "

"At first ,I thought what you feel for princess is just a mere infatuation . But when you traveled all the way here just to see her , i knew my best friend is so in love and he doesn't want to accept it" Ahmad concluded

I took a deep breath and sighed ,

"Well yes I think I'm in love, she is just so unique and I must confess what attracted me to her at first is HER CLASS AS A LADY she never gave me any attention. For her , it was like I didn't exist. She is so straight forward " I said smiling

"Wow ! So it has been confirmed , my friend is in love " Ahmad said smiling

"Umm lucky you. my case is different , I think I'm beginning to like her friend LAILA " Ahmad announced

"Man! This is the best news I have heard since I came back to Nigeria " I said laughing

"Are you serious? " I asked

"Well I'm still not sure, I won't be like you a confused clown, i have to be sure of my feelings before confessing it" Ahmad said

"Well I'm confused no more " I said bringing out a jewelry box from my pocket

"I'm going to ask her to be my girlfriend " I said smiling while opening the jewelry box

"Man......... Are you going to ask her to marry you? Or what? " Ahmad asked looking at the gold pleated ring

"What's with all the formalities? Princess is well cultured. Don't you think she might find the whole ring proposal of a thing awkward?" He asked

"Honestly I don't know. Will just give it a try, you know how ladies like the fantasies they see in movies." I declared

" It's just a Dubai gold ring . When I'm going to ask her to marry me , then it's gonna be something much special " I said winking

"Hmm I would love to see the moment . I just hope she doesn't turn you down " Ahmad said

"Gossip boy ! You won't see anything and why would she turn me down? I think she likes me too,she just doesn't want to accept it " i said

"You think so? You and her are like cat and dog , does a day pass by without the both of you arguing?" Ahmad asked

"I'm sure she will accept " I answered confidently

"All the best then" Ahmad replied

Farida's POV

"I can't believe Ashraf is finally going to propose to you " Yusrah said to me excitedly

"Hmm he is not going to do that , and even if he is going to do that, then my response is going to be a "NO" in capital letters" I replied to Yusrah

"Are you out of your mind? How can you say no to Ashraf's proposal? What's wrong with him? Isn't he far better than that Bilal of a guy"

"You should be happy that he loves you , I mean not all Arabs marry blacks and you know it. The sooner you start moving on the better for you " Yusrah concluded angrily
