Farzana looked at clock,she stood up and she straightened her t-shirt.She and Ridwaan had a smile on her face as Imani helped her put on her tracksuit jacket as she thought of the upcoming visit they had,"Jazakallah,Imani.Is Sayid Ridwaan still in his office?"

"Nam,sayida.Sayid Ridwaan is waiting for you."

Farzana nodded her head as she sat down and Zaahida begun to patch up her makeup before standing up and putting her phone in her pocket.She walked out of her office towards Ridwaan's office and she knocked on the door.She entered when Ayub opened the door,she stepped through smiling at him,"As salaam mu alaykum wa rahmatulahi wa baraktu,sayid Ayub."

"Wa alaykum mu salaam wa rahmatulahi wa barakatu,sayida Farzana."

She exchanged a smile with Ridwaan who had stood up.They exchanged greetings before he walked towards her.She smiled as she looked down at her outfit then at his.They both had opted for a blue t-shirt but she had on a white track pants and he had on a black track pants.She had on white takkies while he had in blue takkies.She had opted for a black tracksuit jacket.She really had to tip her hat at her sister-in-law's who always managed to pull off such tricks.

"Isn't it too hot for a jacket?" He questioned as he looked at her and Farzana looked down with a sigh as she glanced at Ayub,Ridwaan catching her glance,"Ayub,please give us five minutes."

"Nam,sayid." He left the office closing the door behind him and Ridwaan looked at Farzana.

"Zana,what is it?" He asked putting his hands on her shoulders as she looked up at him.

"Uhh the jacket hides my rolls from being caught on camera and that would be embarrassing."

Ridwaan shook his head as he caught onto what she meant and he looked at her with a soft smile,"Zana,have you thought for even a second that perhaps right now you are the most relatable woman the women of Rahilah have ever seen?Your rolls don't mean that you fat,it doesn't mean that you aren't perfect.It makes you human." He moved behind her a she helped her shrug off her jacket before putting the blazer on the table and he laid his chin on her shoulder,"You,my dear missus are perfect the way you are.You have nothing to hide as long as I stand next to you.Understood?"

Farzana nodded her head even though she felt uncomfortable as she looked down at herself,"But..."

Ridwaan shook his head causing his hair to brush against her scarf,"No buts.It is hot outside and I refuse to let you boil.Trust me,you look beautiful."

Her cheeks flushed red at his compliment as she gazed down,"Jazakallah for the compliment."

"Ameen.Now,let's go." He moved away,his hand reaching for her hand and they walked out of the office.They got into their car which begun to drive.

"His going to be so surprised." She commented as they pulled up to their destination.

"I can't wait to see his face." Ridwaan said as the car came to a stop.He got out from his side before walking around to where Frazana stood waiting for him.The cameras that the journalist had set up flashed as they begun walking towards the school gate where they found the principal and a couple of teachers.

Mr.Ishaaq stepped forward,he held out his hand which Ridwaan shook and Frazana put her hand on her chest,"As salaam mu alaykum,sayid and sayida."

"Wa alaykum mu salaam,sayid Ishaaq.It is a pleasure to be seeing you."

"Wa alaykum mu salaam,sayid Ishaaq.It is a pleasure to see you again." Farzana greeted and Sayid Ishaaq smiled at her.

"We are glad to have you back here,sayida."
