"Perhaps you hate something and it is good for you, and perhaps you love something and it is bad for you. Allah knows, while you don't know." Quran; 2:216

Allah knows best,
May He choose whatever that's khair for all of us, Amin.

"Don't stress yourself girl," Amal pats Sadiya with a small smile.

"Don't blame me, it is my first baby after all." Says a huge Sadiya, yes, she is 7 months pregnant.

"Yea but you're still not the first woman to be pregnant." Imran roll his eyes, "Yea, how many girls have you impregnate?" I ask with a shake of my head, almost annoyed.

My siblings laugh and he smack my back, "You need not to rub it on my face because you have a wife now,"

I shrug with a smirk: "Really Sadiya, don't worry yourself already, you've still got like two more months, and all will be well in shaa Allah." I caress her cheeks.

She smiles: "I'll try, thank you."

We're all in our house, catching with one another and Sadiya is being a nervous wreck about her pregnancy.

In shaa Allah all will be well.

We continue talking for a while till Mummy called us for dinner.

Good old times, a small smile grace my lips.

Once on the dining table, we talk about all sort of random things, i low key miss Karim.

Oh, yes, he got married to Fatma two weeks ago, and the whipped husband won't leave their house.

"I'm thinking about a vaca-" Nohar cut Baba off with a squeal: "Yaaayyyy!!"

"What are you? A kid?" Johara, his twin questions with a shake of her head.

"You don't interrupt elders," Mummy says at the same time.

He mutters: "Sorry!"

Baba let out a chuckle; "Anyways, a trip to Italy for a week or two, what do you say?"

"I say we go, if the bills on you boss man." That is Imrans reply.

I chuckle, he will never be serious, "You're in then,"

"You've got some bonus ne?" Mama asks and we can't help the series of laugher that escape us.

"I can't help myself, you'll sponsor almost 20 people?!" Mama asks amusedly.

"Yar bakin ciki kawai(idk how to translate this, it has to do with jealousy tho)" Hajiya hiss.

She always ruins the moment, she always does.

That is how she killed the vibe and we continue eating in silence.

Life sometimes gets a little lonely, you only try to mask it away with a bright smile- and boom!

You're fine, everything is fine, but there is more to it, they just don't know and they apparently do not want to!

I shake my head, an office ain't no place for thinking, and so i continue going through the credentials on my table.

I need a new assistant, the previous one, Yusuf quit almost a month ago now and the work is too much to be handled alone.
