We walk into the restaurant area located in the hotel and give our names to the waiter and he guides us to the table were MJ and her son are. MJ sees us and waves to us and his son is facing his back to us . Wait what man buns, I hold on to Mannat's hands and whisper into her ears " I think we are in trouble" She gives me a confusing look then she notice the man sitting with MJ " Oh Boy ". "Jannat Al Cenacle, mind telling me what took you so long?" I gulp , I try to play reverse psychology " What do you think took me so long" I try to sound confident. She gave me a warning look and I crumble she look very intimidating with that look " It was not my fault, this guy was trying to steal my bag and you know that I carry my whole life in this bag and I just had to stop him ,I had to run three blocks and only used a little of my superpowers, just a little and my clothes where messed up and I had to change my clothes and I already know he told you everything and I am sorry , I will ..." I was blabbering pointing at her son and all the truth came out of my mouth when MJ cut me off "Shut you missy I was just messing with you and he didn't tell my anything and you young lady now are in deep trouble". My mouth was hanging and I look to her son and he had a smirking. I look back to MJ and I am out of words. "Anyways meet my son Omar Jaan" I give him a nod "As-salāmu ʿalaykum". MJ tells Mannat to sit near her and I sit on the opposite side near Omar. " I have already ordered because you took your time to arrive and I know what you like and don't" MJ pitch in .
I really love this lady she is like a mother to me ,no cut that she is more of a mother to me than my own birth mother will ever be. I respect her she is the reason for all I have now, I am grateful for her I can never know how to repay her for her generosity.
Today was my 22nd birthday , 15th January . This a date that use to mean so much to me now it is a nightmare. But MJ tells be that we have to move on from our past and always look forward and also today is the date we found each other. I think like I awe it to her so try to be happy. She ordered my favorite spaghetti Carbonara with chicken salad and iced lemon tea. I don't know I always as far as I can remember loved to drink iced lemon tea, it also was my fathers favorite drink. When the waiter brought the iced lemon tea I unconsciously smile at the drink as I remembered my dad , I always used to finish first and my dad will take his time savouring the drink while reading a novel , he was a book worm and while he is busy reading I will sneakingly poor his drink into mine and drink it . I think he knew what I was doing and he just enjoyed acting shocked and unfazed. I loved him and miss him so much. After finishing our food the waiter bring my cake it was a small round tall chocolate layer cake with white frosting and a gold crown on top it was beautiful. How I love this woman she is the best. I wiped the tears threatening to leave my eyes. " MJ I am going to cry , then don't say I am not graceful " I pout and she gives laugh " look whos talking about the one that kick a buffed men to colour a few minutes ago". I act as shocked " How could you , A queen has to protect herself" I say over dramatically then I realize that Omar was looking at me with amusement and blush fifty shades of red. I almost forgot he was here. When I cut the cake with the whole restaurant singing happy birthday to my embarrassment we eat the cake. " So the presents" MJ claps and squeaks like a like a child and I roll my eye " very graceful MJ but you know you don't have to" she waves her hands at me " this time I want a present " she says. "Whatever you want my queen , your humble servant is always at you service" I say over dramatically bowing with a giggle. " I want you to be my daughter in law , and as you said the queen get what she wants I want you to marry Omar" . I was shocked it was like a train hit me I looked at Omar he was not shocked , pointing out that he knew why he was here. But I can't marry him , it's not him I can't marry anybody. " You said whatever I want so Jaan from a week from today you and Omar are getting married on my birthday Congratulation" I couldn't say anything I was in shock. We finally finished dinner and MJ and Omar drop Maan and me to our home.
