AFMAL { Editing }

Chapter five

This chapter is dedicated to @AishaSani172, who happens to be the first person to add Afmal to her reading list, thanks alot @AishaSani172 and may Allaah bless you.

         Affan leaves home thinking about his loved ones while driving on his way to his friend's house,he kept thinking of his poor mother who doesn't get the love she deserves from her husband and his sister who her father must have planned her life already, because his children are assets to him,and he only claims he love them but his definition of love is otherwise...when he got to Mukhtar's house he decided to call him because he wasn't home,and had to wait for about 2 hours,while sitting on a soft cushion.
      
        Affan! A thick voice called him in an excited tone while he turned to see who it was, haba haba why didn't you tell me before coming? I'd have made some arrangements for you. Mukhtar said.

    I didn't want you to stress over it, that is why I decided to pay you a surprise visit besides you would have brought the whole food in Africa which you know I'm not that foodie type.

    You'll never change. He said while shaking his hand

By the way where's your mother?

    She's at my cousin's wedding, actually I was also with her at the wedding, but when I heard about your arrival I had to rush home as soon as possible.

    Ok...Mukhtar actually i came here for a purpose and I need your help.

Ok...i pray i can help you out.

What do you mean?

I mean if what you're asking is not above my power then I'll help you out.

Alright then i have something important to discuss with you.

     What's it about?... please just go straight to the point.

     It's about her I just can't forget her....I pretend to be happy in front of everyone, but i'm not Mukhtar I'm not happy, why am I this unlucky? why can't I live a normal life like others? I feel like the unluckiest man on earth. 

     Bandirawo please just accept it as destiny, believe in Allaah, I'm sure he's testing you because he knows you are strong enough to endure it, just pray and seek for guidance you'll see light through your way.

    I think you don't understand my pain, won't you help me?

Well...well th...th..this is above me, i can't help you.

Ok thank you i'll be going home I need to rest.

   Haba don't say such things, i understand your pain and agony but what you're asking for might cost my life.

I said I'm heading to my home, i need to rest.

Ok then please get some rest in my room.

   No...I just want to go home, anyways thanks for your time.

   Haba, I insist you should rest in my room, look it's obvious you are stressed out.

     Please no matter how you insist, I won't stay, please just let me go home. Affan said in a shaky tone.

    Ok I'll do that on one condition, that's if you let me drive you home with your car.

   Then how'll you come back.

   Well, I'll just take a cab then. Mukhtar said.

      But....Mukhtar interrupted Affan before he could even say another word i won't listen to you at all, and you have to do as i say this time, you don't have any choice my friend, for the sake of our friendship please let me drop you home.
     

     Alright then, you can drop me home. Affan said in a defeated tone.

      Thanks.

      Mukhtar drops his best friend home, and he goes inside to greet Umma coincidentally on his way to the sitting room he saw Bahijjat who happens to be his crush but she isn't giving in, while Affan heads to his room straight away in disappointment.
