Faryah

42

I walked out of my room and carefully closed the door. Firdaus's house was pretty large. It had Four rooms, a big kitchen, a study, a pretty nice garage that made me force myself to learn how to drive. It was actually pretty easy. No hassle. Her house also had a nice swimming pool, It wasn't that interesting. There was also a room she reserved for a gym and games. I really never thought she was a fan of Video games but she taught me. She and her Fiancé. Yes Firdaus was getting married soon to Naim Navruz. An engineer she met on one of her projects. He was Turkish and handsome. I was glad she found her happiness with him. They were hopeful getting married in March and I was also planning on finding a house for myself in March. She was planning on staying with her husband and leaving the house to me and Ummi. But I really wanted my own too. Even though it was small.

We had maids that only came to clean the house and do the laundry, after that they all left. We also had a security guard and a gardener. We didn't need too much help around the house. The house was painted white on the outside and had a wooden interior decor. It was beautiful though. The sofas were black and white, everything was mostly black and white. But I had to make sure my room was colourful. Mint green and pink stripes wallpaper. With butterfly prints. It was beautiful.

I walked down the stairs and found Raihannah in the kitchen preparing something . " RiRi, Assalamu Alaykum, Good Morning, hope you slept well?, we need to leave very soon, our appointment is by 10:30am and it's already 9:30" I said as I dropped my bag on the kitchen counter. " Well good morning boss lady, I slept very well thanks for asking, and it's just 8:57, here have some pancakes" her sense of humour always got me. " where did you leave your math sense, and thank you" I answered as she passed me a plate of pancakes. " They look so yummy, thank you" I thanked her with a wide smile as I threw a blueberry into my mouth. " Milk or Orange Juice?"

" Milk" I answered and she instantly passed me a glass and she sat in front of me with a plate of pancakes and orange juice. " Thank you" I answered and smiled at her. " You've taken a leave already right?"

" Yea but Miriam still gives me little work to do, she sends her regards also"

" Oh, we need to go shopping with that Chick again" she said with a smile. Miriam was the brains behind our wardrobe. " Yeah, that'll be nice, how's work too?" She worked with her parents in a Gaming Company. " Fun as always"

" Uhmm, hurry up with that, we need to go to the hospital early"

" Sure, I can't wait to see my everyday crush" She declined a lot of guys, just because she was crushing on someone that didn't know she existed in this life. Farouk Edwards, a paediatrician in the hospital my gynaecologist was. But I've never seen him. " My doppelgänger" I sighed as I rolled my eyes. " Yes, you need to see him for yourself, he's so handsome Masha Allah" She said with dreamy eyes as she stuffed her mouth with pancakes. " I can't wait to see him, can I ask you something Raihannah?"

" Sure"

" If Farouk is married or almost married you know engaged, what will you do?" I asked and watched her sigh as she dropped her fork to fully look at me. " I know you guys think I have a crush, that I'm just daydreaming and all that, but I feel deep down that Farouk is the one for me, that's exactly what I told my Ummah and she said I could have a chance. He's not married or seeing anyone, so all I need to do is to see him again today and make sure he sees my charm" oh.

" so you're not really going to the hospital with me"

" oh I am, we're going to meet him together when you're done" She answered as she drank her juice. "Okay then, I can't wait to meet your doppelgänger" I said with a smile as I continued eating. " you know something?"
