"so I won't see you guys for some times now" I said cleaning the imaginary tears trickling down my face,

"tchh- it's not like you're not used to it" dad said ,

"but da-a-ad" I said prolonging the dad and playfully hitting my feet on the floor,

"but d-au-ghte-eerr" dad said imitating my action,

I tried hard to hold my laughter in,

"take mee" I said faking sadness,

"your husband will take you" dad said imitating me again,

"stop i-tt" I said laughing hardly, dad joined me too,

"if someone hears your conversation now, they won't know it's two grown adults talking" mum said shaking her head in disapproval,

"but mum I want to go" I said whining,

"don't worry you can go with your husband as much as you want" mum said assuring me,

"for now let me go with my husband too" mum said, as she went to high five dad, and they both started laughing at me,

"Oh my Allah, I thought you were on my side mum" I said crying, it's fake though-

"owww ohh may be she's missing her husband" mum said faking concern,

"maybe we should call him" dad said playing along,

The both of them continued making fun of me and getting on my nerves. Though I was faking anger, I was very happy on the inside.
Mum called to inform me this morning that they'll all be going for umrah tomorrow, I came here quickly immediately Aman left for work and I've been begging them to take me along which I know isn't possible.
It is one of my greatest wish also, for I and aman to attend hajj together, I pray it comes true.

Mum said she hasn't finished packing her clothes, so she asked me to assist her in choosing the dresses she will take,

"mum where's imran?, I haven't seen him around" I said scanning through the clothes in her wardrobe,

"don't tell me because you're married now you've forgotten that weekdays exist" she said teasing me,

"ohh that he's in school" I said smacking my forehead,

"yes, but they'll be vacating tomorrow, so he's going with us" she said,

"ehn ehn, Fatima you know hajia zainab right?" mum asked,

"uhmm yes, your best friend" I said turning to look at her,

"what happened to her" I asked her,

"can you believe her son, what's his name- I can't remember" she said,

"yusuf, yes yusuf" she said

"got married and she didn't inform me" she said in a suprising tone,

"ohh she must have her reason" I said,

"uhmm yes she said because of what happened on your wedding, she didn't want to disturb me" she said,

"she's considerate for her to have thought like that" I said,

"but still she's my best friend, I'd have stood by her, she stands by me too" mum said directing the sentence more to herself than me,

"you remember yusuf right?" she asked,

"yes I do" I replied her,

"I can remember you rejected his proposal saying he is not the one for you, I was angry then not knowing there was someone else destined to you, indeed we are all driven by our destinies" she said reminiscing the past,
