Minutes later, Na'eemah was indulged in her conversation with Ameer. She found out he's a lover of polo, he loves green, he's actually an introvert but free with certain people. She had a really good time getting to know him that she totally forgot about her cousin who sat down with her friend watching them. Her attention only snapped to them when a beautiful young lady walked in with a huge smile on her face as she went to engulfed Humaira in a hug.

"It's so nice to meet you" She spoke leaning down to hug Suhaila

"Raeesa always the one with the African time" Suhaila said rolling her eyes annoyingly

"So sorry Hun. Traffic" she said smiling sheepishly

"So Humaira you're here alone? Raeesa asked settling down next to them.

"Ahmm I actually come with my cousin here" Humaira said motioning to Naeemah as Raeesa's attention snapped to them

"Oh My Goodness, I'm so sorry I didn't see you there" Raeesa exclaimed standing up and coming to slightly hug Naeemah

"It's okay" Naeemah said smiling

"And there is my favourite cousin" Raeesa said nudging Ameer who shook his head with a smile

"How are you doing? He asked looking at her

"Ohh I'm doing fine. Something exciting Happened last week but I don't want to ruin your date so I'll call you later" She said with a wink walking over to Humaira

"Ahmm a date? Naeemah asked with a questioning tone

"I........I don't know"

"Oh! Na'eemah exclaimed with a wave of awkwardness

"I guess two people can't sit together without people thinking they're on a date. Even when they're talking about flying houses and crying monkeys" Ameer said trying to ease the tension

"Ohh my God........cr.....crying monkeys, that's.... That's a good one" Naeemah said in between laughs

Ameer sat down watching her laugh, he thought she was beautiful when he never saw her laugh, now he did and she's the most beautiful thing his eyes has ever set on.

"So how's Ameer? Humaira asked as they drove back home.

"He's good? Naeemah replied in a questioning tone

"I mean how's his company, did you guys vibe well?

"Ohh yes we did. I'm actually surprised, he's quite fun to be around"

"Don't judge a book by it's cover" Humaira said sending her a wink

"Yeah whatever" Na'eemah said laughing.

"And Mr Yaari, are you over him? Humaira asked cautiously

"What do you mean over him? Naeemah demanded with a scowl

"I mean your little infatuation, is it over now"

Naeemah looked at Humaira for a second before keeping quiet. After almost a five minutes of silence, she spoke

"Wait, what's with you and Mr Yaari. Do you like him? Na'eemah snapped

Humaira completely shocked sat speechless for a few minutes before speaking.

"What the hell is wrong with you Naeemah? I'M MARRIED FOR GOODNESS SAKE! Humaira Yelled

"Well it still doesn't stop some of you married women. If not that then why are you so hell bent on me not being with Mr Yaari?
