I put the magazine down, chuckling slightly. How can a man be that clumsy? As Shiza closed the door after Asher I sighed, playing with the ends of my hijab.
"Is there a reason you came over? Or was it just for my food?"She says as she loosens her hijab a bit and lays down on her bed turning so she faces me.
"Partially food. But I did come here to tell you something," I say wiping the sweat off my palms. Why was I nervous? Sure it was the first dude that asked for my hand and didn't run away after being told about my leg. Pshh that's nothing right?
"Well spit it out then," Shiza says sitting up.
"Ok well another dude came to ask for my hand in marriage," I said nervously. She sighed and grabbed another spinning chair rolling towards me.
She held my left hand in hers while staring into my eyes. This is so weird..
"Listen Romaisa, there will be that perfect man that'll accept you for who you are. I actually know one right now but that's not the point. Mashallah you're amazing in the looks department but I don't know why every man expects a woman to be perfect I mean every one has their--"
I cut her speech off by putting my hand up, "wait wait, I didn't tell you all of it and thanks for the compliment. Well you uh see uh he uh-"
"Come on Romaisa what's wrong?"
"Hedidntleave!" I spit out in a breath.
"What the heck did you just say, all I heard was 'Hebrew leaf'. I swear if that's some kind of new face moisturizer and your not telling me about it, I will personally cut your skin off and tape it onto mine--"
"I SAID HE DIDNT LEAVE!" Her eyes widen and I look towards her, "he didn't run away Shiza, he didn't run away."
Her eyebrows scrunch but then she smiles even though it looks like it's forced. "Well isn't that good?" She says wearily almost asking me to say no.
"That's the thing I don't know. My mom and dad are estatic that they found 'the man' and they only gave me till the end of this week Shiza! The end of this week is in three days!"
"Ok ok don't panic. Tell me about that guy. Is he cuter than Asher?" She said smirking a bit.
I blushed without noticing and hit her arm, "Astaghfirullah Shiza, shame. And I don't know. He's okay looking."
She shook her head and sat across from me again, "ok forget the looks we all know those don't matter. His personality? What was his aroma like? How did you feel around him?" She asks doing hand gestures along with her questions.
I shrug looking towards the ground, "I don't know. He was... He was very uh confident, but...I don't know I felt like he was hurting from the inside," I manage do stutter out almost whispering the last part to myself.
She nods her head,"confident is good I guess. But he has to be playful and I know just how we can find that side of him."
She says getting an evil grin on her face. I gulp. Oh no this cannot be good.
