Lost Without You

Chapter 12: Istikhara Prayer

"Allah knows WHAT is the best for you and WHEN its best for you to have it" 

I looked up to see Sajal over the video call while preparing tea for her mother-in-law and nodded thoughtfully. It had been two day of me continously trying to get any reply but every night was in vain.

"Well I'm just worried should I ask someone else to offer this prayer for me? " I said, disheartened.

She shook head amd faced the camera. "No, it's better that you do it for yourself. " She denied.

"Well you take care I'm going to have shower. I have to pray Asar. " I said, in a farewell tone.

She smirked. "Start scrubbing your body you need glow babe's. "

My eyes expaned on her blunt advice, flabbergasted. "Shut up. Keep this marriage shop to side. " I glared her.

"Amna come on don't be a shy nerd. I will send you some remedies. Nevertheless, I can guess you're quite a beauty from outside inside you'll rock it but, still we need to polish your skin, Okay. " She ranted, making my heart to beat faster. My cheeks flared up im embarrassment.

"Sajal! bye," I stressed. She giggled making fun of my shyness and hang up. I heaved a long sigh recalling her words.

Immediately, my thoughts broke with a ping of phone and I know she had sent me remedies.

Giggling to myself, I took my towel from cupboard and went to get a shower.

There was a deep charcoal shade of blue swing surrounded by white walls or more like curtains. Very tall heighted silk curtains.

It was a wide place everything was covered in white till then I was feeling myself a reader I couldn't see myself.

I approached close to the swing its ropes were coming from clouds whivh leaves your sight not enough to see the length. I was quite surprised. Small lillies with yellow rose in a sequence were drapped in a zigzag manner around the strings.

I inhaled feeling myself overly happy like something amazing was going to happen. I was still pondering over my feeling when I heard a voice.

"You're hear I was searching for you from long." Upon that voice I turned over to look back a man was standing clad in all white. His face was blurry but his beard was very much familiar making my heart to beat loudly.

"Why..? " I asked, in a whisper doubting if he heard me but when he smiled and shook head like only one person I knew do always made me even more shy.

"I love you. "

He confessed making my eyes to expand in surprise. I covered my mouth to cover my lips as tears leaked down ai had waited for those words since forever.

"Did you really said that. " I shuttered, smilingly, wetting my face and he moved just to walk my way until he was just breaths away from me; now his face was somewhat visible.

My heart skipped a beat when he held my waist. " Is it to hard to believe? " He said, so lowly, hitting straight to my heart I immediately convulsed under his touch.
