Good? Great.

The surprise?

I say my salaam to Asher and Shiza as I get out of the car. The wedding was amazing! Best night ever, it started with a bang but soon came rolling down as people got tired and Shanzay almost fell asleep on her new husband who's name I learned was Kareem. They got taken away in the beautiful flowered car and soon everybody went home.

"Wait!" I hear Asher's voice say, me and Shiza turn to him confused.

"You forgot your purse," he says while getting it out of under the seat that I guess it had fallen in to. Instead of giving it to Shiza to pass to me, Asher gets out of the drivers side and goes all the way around to where I'm standing. He holds the purse out to me and smiles. I smile back, a tiny blush creeps up to my cheek as I accidentally brush my fingers against his, I quickly say, "jazakallah," he nods and goes back to the drivers side.

Well that's actually what happened in my head. Here's how Asher giving my purse to me really happened.

"You forgot your purse," he says while getting it out of under the seat I guess it had fallen in to. Instead of giving it to Shiza to pass to me, Asher gets out of the drivers and goes all the way around...but he dosn't make it. Instead in the front of the car he trips and falls with an umph and a gasp from me and Shiza.

"Ugna," He groans out while still laying on the ground. I don't even notice but I'm actually crying of laughter and Asher turns his head to look at me (he's still on the ground) and Shiza turns to look at me too while I'm over here crying my eyes out of laughter.

"S-sorry oh my god!" I gasp out, wiping my tears away. "I fricken love how you fall! That was amazing it looked like a swan was dancing and then just umph he trips over his own feet!" I say while still laughing a bit.

"Nobodies going to help this poor man on the ground..." Asher says to the sky while Shiza gets out of the car.

"Sorry we can't touch people who have cooties now get up yourself you dumb swan!" Shiza says with a laugh. Asher exaggerates a sigh and gets up, me and Shiza get into another set of laughter, though I try to control mine this time, when we see his back specked with tiny rock and dirt.

He notices and groans, "ya Allah, this is going to cost a lot. I should've just given this purse to Shiza who could've given it to you." He says while shaking his head.

I giggle softly as Shiza grabs the purse and smacks it into me, "idiots everywhere." She grumbles but me and Asher both hear and glare at her back as she gets back into the car.

"Ok uh Asalam alaikum then," Asher says while rubbing the back of his neck. I hear Shiza giggle from inside the car and roll my eyes. Making sure I closed the car door I say my salaam and wave one more time to Shiza and walk inside.

Throwing my shoes off at the doorway I sigh. This was a long day, I can't wait to just go to sleep. It was currently eight o'clock but I was tired as hell.

But before I can go upstairs, my sister Aimen suddenly appears. I didn't know she was coming today.

"Asalamaliakum sister, what are you doing here? Is Omar here too?" I ask curiously.

She smiles at me and says, "walaikum asalam, yes he's here. But didn't mama tell you?" She says confused.

She shouldn't be confused here, I should be, "tell me what?"
"That you had a rishta (when a man or his family come over to ask for your hand) that was coming over today, who's actually here right how talking to baba."

My mouth falls open, "w-what?" How could mama hide this from me. Why didn't she tell me before? If he's actually here do I have to meet him? Ya Allah.

"Yes, mama and baba are with him right now, once we heard the door open we knew it was you. So mama sent me to tell you to go wear something else and come downstairs."
