Four Families. Two hearts. One Soul.
He was a shadow of darkness.
He was a puzzle.
Always had a frown upon his face.
His heart would never mend.
She was a ray of sunshine.
She was easy to understand.
Always had a smile upon her face.
Mendi...
It was kind of unusual for the always unbored Khadeja to be bored out of her mind, not knowing what to do. Thankfully, her bestie (aka knight in shining armour) suggested that they go shopping, having girl time to catch up in London's most greatest shopping centers, Westfield London.
But unfortunately, things didn't go as planned as fate decided to have some fun time - since it's also bored, Taha tagged along.
"No way, in Earth's bloody hell that you'll let Taha to go with us!" she exclaimed, emphasising his name. Ruqaiyah rolled her eyes. "So? He's my older brother and I can't say, no to him!"
"Look who's talking? You always say, 'no' to Hamza and Bilal, so why, can't you say 'no' to him, too?" Ruqaiyah sighed. "Again, because he's my older brother and I can't refuse, plus, it's my job to irritate and annoy Hamza and Bilal by saying, no."
"Y'know what? Just forget what I said," Deja stated, disappointedly. Rushing footsteps, descending down the stairs were heard. Taha abruptly stops, “Uh, are you girls ready?”
Smiling warmly, nodding, Ruqayya looks at him. “Yeah, we are. And we're ready to go!” Taha rubs his hands in anticipation, “Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!”

Khadeja emerges out of the dressing room. “So, what do you think? Do you like it?” she asks him.

Taha cleared his throat. “Uh. . . Y-Yeah, you look beautiful, Khadeja!” “Really?" “Yeah, trust me on this one.” You may be wondering, where is Ruqaiyah? Uthman called her so, she left them to answer.
It had been the fifth outfit Khadeja tries and on every single one of them, Taha compliments in true fascination of her beauty. Blushing hardly, she thanked him, silently.
Without their knowledge, Ruqaiyah was watching their interaction in secrecy; she smirked in triumph. Then, she decided to break it up. “Hey, guys! You done?”
Both nodded. After paying, they left the store. Ruqaiyah kept her pace up, wanting to be by her soul-sister's side. “So, you sure must've had fun with my Teddy, huh?” she teased, nudging her.
Unplanned, blushing gave the answer away, but Khadeja tried to play dumb. “W-What are you talking about?” Ruqaiyah chuckled, sarcastically, “Come on, it's obvious! Don't worry, I won't tell, but I still can't believe, how blind my brother can be. Though I must warn you, if you want to play all innocent and dumb, improve your acting skills.”
Khadeja froze. Looking at her friend, she found her ahead of her. “Oh, it's on, Ruqaiyah Ubayd!”
