Makeup,Hijabs and Love

Back to Normal

Work Tomorrow!

I trudged upstairs in my pink furry bunny slippers, (yes i know im too old for them) after washing the dishes from dinner. Ummi made Yorkshire puddings with steamed vegetables and succulent roast chicken.It was absoloutley delicious.

"Hey , Hibi grab my car keys from my room please!" shouted my Older brother by two minutes ,Yousaf. Yep,that was clearly so fustrating that he was older than me by a stupid amount of time, and that were twins.

Sighing i darted into his messy and stinky room.Gosh he is going to have to give his room a makeover when he gets married! After years of searching fro years i finally found his keys under his pillow. After chucking them to him i hurried to my room to read ishaa salah (night time prayer).

Feeling fresh after praying i brushed my teeth and removed my beautiful makeup with 'simple cleansing wipes'. I shouted Good night to my mother who was also getting ready for bed , and i snuggled down into my comfy pink and purple duvet.

Fudge cakes! I almost forgot to set my alarm for tomorrow. I slid out of bed and sleepily walked to my drawers and fished for my phone in the dark.

With the Alarm set and ready i jumped back into my bed when my phone vibrated.

"beep,beep".

Oh who could this be now? Don't people know what time it is? Angrily i unlocked my phone and checked my messages.

"Pick you up tomoz at 8,be ready -ahmed".

Oh,It was my bestie Ahmed we have been friends since 1st grade and all the way up to university. Well thats good i dont have to beg my brother to drive me to my office tomorrow and i don't have to bother Ummi aswell. Especially because of what she has been through,the hard times of loosing a husband a best friend.She will need her rest and strength.Before ending in a pool of tears.

I quickly texted back;

"sure , make sure your not late!-Hibi"

I closed my eyes and dreamt a dream of which i wished would occur.

Hibah's dream

I looked about seven years old and i was walking with my dad to the park withmy twin brother Yousaf. We played on the rusty old swings the high twisty slide and the red merry go round.

Daddy was pushing us super fast and we were both shrieking our heads off! Then we went to MacDonalds and had big Macs and Happy Meals!

We walked home from the restaurant and then we all rushed inside the house to bake a cake for my ummi's birthday.

We first washed our hands with anti-bacterial soap and got all the ingredients ready for the cake.Daddy had a huge smile on his face. We tipped the flour into the bowl and white powder spilt everywhere.We all burst into a fit of giggles when my dad put flour all over his face!

I woke up with the alarm clock screaming in my face. Annoyed i reached for the snooze button.Just 5 more minutes please! I just need enough time to see my old dad.

I closed my eyes to go back to sleep and dream about my dad.But i tried and tried a lot that i just gave up the dream and got ready for work.

Furtively i slipped out of my warm cuddly bed and slipped my bunny slippers on and headed to the bathroom to freshen up and to make wudu (ablution). I washed my face with soap and applied a coat of moisturising facial cream.I didn't want any pimples to form during the day so i smeared on my old pimple cream that used when i was about 13.
