A HIJABI'S EMERALD

CHAP-9 ENGAGEMENT

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu...

(INDEED ALLAH FORGIVE'S ALL SINS) HOLY QURAN 39:53..

I request my precious readers to pray their salah if they haven't prayed yet before reading this chappy...

........................................................................

Asfa's pov :

As soon as, I settled in the sofa opposite to him! I didn't look up and Mrs Ibrahim, started conversing with me....

"Masha Allah, my daughter looks very pretty " she said admiringly...

I'm not the usual shy type! but my cheeks turned crimson, on hearing her compliment...

"Jazakallahu khair, Mrs Ibrahim " I said politely...

"no, don't call me that! call me momma " she ordered, while giving me a smile...

"umm, Ok momma! " I said hesitantly..

"I'm, very excited " it was aala...

Then, everyone left us, to give some privacy to talk to each other and to clarify any questions, then he started with salam and I replied! then he asked me, if I pray five times and read Quran daily??? and Alhamdulillah I replied! then, I asked him the same questions?? and he too replied in yes! and I was quite impressed by his love towards our rab and then, he didn't utter a word so, I looked at him and he was looking dashing as all ways!! and then, he asked if I have any questions? then I nodded in no ...

then, everyone joined us and we said our answers and then everyone beamed in joy! and they fixed our engagement date this coming Sunday! and I was restless and more scared I don't know why? but the thought of leaving them, just scares me too much...

and then, momma gave me a kiss on cheek and aala scooped little one from my lap and then they headed towards their home ...

And, after finishing my salah, grandpa came towards my room and said

"I'm very happy, for you my child thank you so much! for saying yes and I assure you!! you'll not regret it my child " he said lovingly...

"Insha Allah, hope so " I said not meeting his gaze...

"look, asfa you know you resemble your father so much! and he will be very proud of you, of what you've become today!! despite all the struggles, so don't be sad and enjoy your life dear!!" he said...

"Insha Allah, I'll try grandpa" I said meeting his gaze..

And, he hugged Me "group hug without us" squealed the twin's...

And, they too joined us and then grandpa left and after wards imad said " I like him sisto, he is very caring, the way he took care of Zain Show's everything " he said...

"Ya sisto, he is right I caught him staring at you all the time " she teased me.. I don't know what's up with me lately, blushing each time I heard his name! but, I remained my poker face which irritated them..

"and, if he didn't took care of you! I'll break his each bone " he said seriously... And saffu laughed at his possessiveness..

Then, the rambling continued till midnight and then they left for their room..

And on Thursday, aala came to my house and I was shocked to see her in the morning and she said it was time for my engagement shopping, she told me that Humza already chose my dress and I need to check the dress if it's fitted me properly? and then, me Rey, saffu and aala left for the boutique and the designer told me that it was a custom made dress which Mr Ibrahim insisted specifically for me, and she made a single piece like that....
