One, two, three months passd by just like that since they met. Dont you find it scary how fast time flies? One year feels like a month, a month like a day, a day like an hour, and hour like a minute. Something mentioned by the holy prophet. The end is close when time goes by that fast. But hey, in these months Faaris learnt a lot on the history of Islam, and other things. That tuesday, was a beautiful one. But not for Faaris, apparently.

"...? What's with the bruises?" Sufiyyah asked.

".. I got into a fight with Zachary." Faaris replied, still a bit pissed.

"WHY?!" Sufiyyah was puzzled. Of all people, Zachary?!

"He.. stole my sweets."

"You - ARGH." she sighed. "Come here." she waved for him to sit in her room.

"You people are so stupid sometimes. Didnt Nathan do anything?" she asked. She took out a bottle of antiseptic spray. "Try to bear the pain alright?"

"Okay. And Nathan was- OW!" "OW OW OW OW OW OW THAT STINGS!"

'She's too close too!' He thought.

"Sorry. It wont last long. So, Nathan?"

"Ah. Nathan was sleeping."


"The rest?"

"Watching.."

"*sigh* stupid, stupid boys." she mumbled. (HAPPY FEEEET)

After that, there was silence. Like REALLY, quiet." Until Faaris brought up THE topic.

"So how's it going?"

...

"Between you and Aaron." he asked quietly, not really wantng to know the answer.

Sufiyyah glanced up at him. 'He cares?'

"Okay, I guess. He's been taking me out for lunch and drinks and stuff like that."

"I see.."

'How I wish that was me.' he thought.

"But he's not a convert so nothings confirmed. But to be honest, I treat him more like a friend, really."

Faaris couldnt help but smile.

"OKAY! Your wounds are done. Now lets get studying."

"Awwwwww..." Faaris looked at her with those eyes. "I dont wannaaa. My brain hurts from the -" Sufiyyah ficked his head.

"If you dont want to study, get out." she hissed.

She's being unusually cold these days.

"Fine. So what are we going to learn?"

"Night prayers." She grinned.

She started too explain the reasons for the prayer, the hukm, How it was once obligatory, how to do it, and how the prophet would pray till his legs swelled.

After teaching, they ate, like usual. Dinner,c ookies, Maghrib prayers, then Faaris just sat around, talked and chilled and teased Sufiyyah out of pleasure. Sufiyyah looked over at her table watch to look at the time. "9.30" She looked at the date. She swallowed hard.

"Y-you dont have to come the day after tomorrow."

"Hm?Oh okay, got plans?" Faaris asked munching a cookie. Sufiyyah nodded slowly. "AAAAAHH!!! 9.30! SHIT SHIT SHITT" He grabbed his stuff.

"WHOAA. Chill! Whats with the rush?"

"Guys are aiting. We need to discuss on our next single! Bye" Faaris gave his salaam, and took off, leaving Sufiyyah aone, yet again.

..

..

'Wait a second.' the lass thought.

"Faaris!" she screamed and ran towards him.

He heard her and turned.

"What?" he found Sufiyyah literally a few inches from his face. The two were flushed and took a few steps away.

"Ehem, Mr Maleek." "Your pants. Its got a hole in it."

"What?! NO. Where??"

"THERE. I can see your pokemon briefs."

". . . . . . ."

He went red and dashed back to Suf's apartment while attempting to cover the totally visible hole.

Sufiyyah sighed and shook her head while walking back. "Boys.." she thought.
