"So... What happened?" asked Reem while cleaning the seat with a tissue paper before sitting.

"About what??" Haniya replied back with a question.

"About the suitor!" said Reem and took the donut from the plate to her mouth.

"Don't talk about that, girl! He literally messed with me and I made sure to kick him out! I mean Hammad became furious and showed him his way!" said Haniya and took her donut too.

"And what about his parents?"

"Dad and Hammad explained them!" replied Haniya. "You got your notebook?" 

"which one?"

"The one you lost yesterday?"

"No! I think he took it!" replied Reem and looked down at her hands.

"You mean Ruaa's brother-in-law?"

"Yeah! Cause he was the only one who witnessed the whole scenario!" said Reem and gave a beautiful smile to her cousin.

"Yeah!"

They stood up and atlast decided to leave the class after about one whole hour, they pinned their niqab and got out of the class.

"I am tired!" said Haniya and zipped her bag after keeping her stuff inside.

"I am tired as well! I can't wait to dig on the yummy falafel mom's making today!" said Reem and chuckled.

"Yumm! I am hungry too!" said Haniya like a five years old kid gaining attention of a few.

They were about to sit inside Haniya's car when suddenly they heared someone calling Reem. They turned and saw two familiar figures standing few meters away from them clearly maintaining their distance.

"Umm.....Yes?" asked Reem and stood there awkwardly.

"Assalamualikum!Your notebook!" replied Abdul Shizad and forwarded the notebook in front of her with a smile.

"Walaikumsalam! Oh Jazakalla Hu khair! "Replied Reem and took the notebook from Abdul Shizad.

The other two stood there awkwardly stealing  glances at each other few times and finally reminding themselves to lower their gazes. Haroon cleared his throat and said "Addy! We should leave before Lamiah starts texting me!"

For the hundredth time Haniya's heart skipped a beat listening to his voice which was quite soft,she kept her hands on the car's door for support and tried not to collapse there "Yo hold yourself Haniya! Just don't look at him, that's it!" she mentally snapped herself.

"Yeah! Wayiyakum! Massalama (Good bye)" Shizad replied and both the brothers went towards their car.

"I forget to breath sometime!" whispered Haniya to herself.

"What? How can you forget that, Haniya?" chuckled Reem at her cousin's stupidity and started laughing.

"Let's go then?"

"Aye aye captain!" replied Reem and continued laughing earning a strong but not that strong smack on her head.

"Oww! What was that for?"

"My wish!" replied her cousin and laughed.

"You okay?" asked Sarah and gave a gorgeous smile which melted Haniya's heart.
