The sun shined brightly over the territory of the land, causing a golden glow to erupt throughout the roads as if someone had switched on the yellow light on the sky.
Rafa pulled on her sneakers listening to the chirping of the birds. Even though she was never a morning person, there was something in waking up for her Lord that caused a wave of peacefulness to blanket her heart.
She bid adieu to her fellow classmates of her Sunday class at the Masjid and picked up her bunny shoulder bag. Hanging it on her shoulders, she straightened the creases of her hijab before moving out of the masjid.
Having a quick stop at Cinnabon to get some takeouts of cinnamon rolls, she placed the box on her passenger seat and whirled the car towards Shabna's house. She shook her head when a goofy smile tried to spread through her face, butterflies nested in her stomach thinking about the condition in her house.

The love between Shabna-Maahi, Fathima-Ali and Samra-Ahmed.
Parking the car in the free space in front of the two storey apartment, she got down, shaking her head from the giddy thoughts.
"Surprise," she chimed when Shabna opened the door for her.
