"What!" I exclaimed, "This is my cousin Kabir's number" he said, "Ughh, I am not a fan of that guy, is he the one harassing you?" Ibrahim asked, "he wasn't really harassing me I guess, I am just not comfortable," I said defending him as soon I realized they were cousins. "It's Harassment dear," Ibrahim said, I could sense his anger increasing as soon as he realized it was his cousin. "I don't like to talk to him. but I would ask Ahmad to talk to him, Ahmad is the only person calm enough to talk to Kabir" Ibrahim explained. 'Ahamd, Calm, you mean bossy enough' I thought remembering how Ahmad was stopping Kareema from eating cake and had been bossy with everyone else. "He wouldn't bother you again" Ibrahim assured. and I nodded. "Can I ask? Is Ahamd getting married on the same day as us?" I asked. I wanted to know if Ahamd was in a relationship.

I felt embarrassed, 'why did I add "my' ' to Ibrahim's name, it's not like he was mine or anything' ' I thought to myself. So what if it's Ibrahim?' I thought again."why would that make her jealous of me? I have nothing to do with Ahmad " I said.

My heart skipped a beat, 'what was Ibrahim's mother doing at our house I thought as I felt tense. I looked at Ahmad who kept his stern look, How was I going to get Ahmad to take me home quickly? I texted Ruqayya back telling her I was with Ahmad on our way to a meeting. But she didn't reply making me feel even more tense."Are we going somewhere else again?" I asked, breaking the deafening silence and hoping Ahmad was talking me home. "yes, I would like to visit another client, if you don't mind," he said politely this time. I nodded. silently looking at the time. Ahmad pulled up to a beautiful mansion. Parking his car in front of it as a bulter stood by his side waiting for the keys."Let's go," he said to me as we both got out of the car, walking in to reveal a royally decorated mansion. The maids opening the doors were in elaborate uniforms. "Is your boss around?" Ahmad asked one of them politely as they led us to the visitor's living room, a massive space with golden royal cha

I spent the whole night thinking, Friday was exactly 7 days from that day, how did I agree to this?I thought Ruqayya was joking about the wedding being in 10 days. Could I really get married to someone in 10 days? I felt uneasy and overwhelmed as my alarm rang. My eyes were open throughout the night, I didn't even have a blink of sleep, I felt too tired and lazy to get up as my Alarm rang continuously. I reluctantly got up putting off the Alarm and getting ready for work. After I was done with my morning prayers, I saw a missed call from Ibrahim. I wasn't sure he was the person I wanted to talk to at the moment, regardless I decided to return the call."Good morning dear" Ibrahim said, as soon as he picked up the call, "good morning" I replied. "sorry I didn't call you last night, I had a meeting and didn't return home until late" Ibrahim' explained himself. "It's fine," I said, I didn't even expect him to call. this was the man I was getting married to and I didn't know anything

"Good morning" Jidda said to Ahmad as soon as we got out into his car. "good morning" replied with a warm smile. Ahmad. I gave Jidda room to sit in the front while I found space in the back seat. "Good morning" I said sliding into the backseat wanting to be unnoticed while the two bond. "Good morning Fatima" Ahmad said. He glanced at me for a second, "are you okay?" He asked. "I am fine, thank you" I replied, he probably noticed the eye bags around my eyes from lack of proper sleep. Without saying another word he ignited the car. I listened to Jidda and Ahmad talk about random things as he drove, his eyes weren't fixed on the road and he didn't have a stern look, instead, he occasionally glanced at her and laughed at the jokes she told. I couldn't help but feel jealous, my soon-to-be brother-in-law was friendly to everyone else except me, it was almost as though he forgot I was in the car, not even glancing at me or trying to include me in the conversation. My friend Jidda was wor

CHAPTER Fifteen: The real discussion The message from Ruqayya made me feel nervous, "are you okay?" Ibrahim asked, probably noticing my countenance change. "I am not". "We would talk about it after prayer," I said to him. I didn't want to talk about it, especially not with him. After Friday's prayer, I told Ibrahim I didn't want to go out with him again and I just wanted to go home. "Is everything okay?" He asked as I watched him change the direction he was driving towards. "No," I replied. "Talk to me""I don't know how I feel about getting married to you so soon, Friday is too soon" "But how do you feel about getting married to me in total?" Ibrahim asked, his question was unexpected. "I don't know," I said wondering what I was supposed to say."How do you feel about marrying me?" I asked him instead."I think you are an amazing person and I would love to spend the rest of my life with you" he recited like he was reading a memorized speech. "Do you even love me?" I asked, I

"Yes," I replied."you approve?" my uncle asked to clarify with me again."yes, I do" I said smiling at Ibrahim who smiled back. "Congratulations on your upcoming wedding," my uncle said.

"I am sure, you don't have what to wear for your engagement" I shook my head, I had nothing prepared for an engagement."Although the dress Ibrahim's mother gave you is So beautiful, maybe you can wear that" Ruqayya suggested, Ibrahim's mother gifted me with three designer gowns made with beautiful lace. It was luxurious and fit for an engagement but it was too tight. "Unfortunately I can't wear it""It's too tight""I can fix it" Aunty Mahra suggested, she is a tailor.
