Aisha

I went back and Fatima open the door for me as usual. I headed inside an greeted them.
"Your food is here." Mom said.
"I am not hungry. I ate before coming home." I replied and head to my room.

Fatima follows me quickly and close door. " tell me sis." She said smiling.

"What do you mean?" I glared at her.
"Why are your cloths wet?" She asked.
"Because it's raining and I don't want to stop anywhere but home."
"I see." She replied laughing.

"What's wrong with you fatima?." I asked.

"I saw you through the window. Was it Muhammad?" She said glaring me.
"Ohh! My CCTV camera."
"So all your eyes are on me?" I asked.

"Please tell me." She said.
"Yes it was him." I put my heads down.
"Ohh my God!" She said out loud.
"Are stupid? Keep quite." I replied.
"You seems so close with him." She uttered.

"Actually, he asked me out to today." I said smiling.

"Are you for real?" She screamed out loud.

"Are you crazy? What if mom heard you?". I said and closed her mouth.

Mom walked in and open the door. " why are you shouting at this hour?"

"Uhm mom.."
"Answer me now."

"Actually mom we are talking about that drama. Today's episode was epic." Fatima replied.

"That doesn't mean you should shout. Don't forget we have neighbors too. Don't shout again." She said and left.

"Uff!" I sighed.

"Tell me more about Muhammad."
" leave me alone please." I said.
"What happen suddenly sis?" She asked.

"We haven't talk with mom yet. She need to denied that proposal because I won't marry anyone apart from my Muhammad." I said softly.

"Awww! How cute? You will definitely marry your Muhammad."

"Sure sis." I looked at her beautiful face.

Fatima is everything to me. I can't even imagine my life without her. She's indeed God's gift to me.

"I think we should read that novel together." She cut my thoughts.

"Smart girl." I gave her a hug.

We read the novel together before each one of us went to bed.

Muhammad

I reach home and it seems like everyone's eyes are on me. I wonder what is going on in their minds.

"Is like something is going on your head." My
brother whispered.

"I also wonder what happened? You seems overjoyed today." Baba interrupted.

"Well actually I got my result from a test and It was good. I didn't except good score because it was tricky but turns out good. That's the reason behind my excitement. " I replied.

"I will head inside, good night to you all." Baba said.

"Good night baba." We replied.

"I think I will go inside too, goodnight all." I said to them.

I couldn't escape them. Mom followed me immediately. "Tell me what happened son? Have you told her"

"I have the smartest mom in the world. How did you come up with that old lady?" I asked looking at her.

"I know you more than anyone else."

"Obviously mom." I said

"Yes I asked her out and she accepted." I replied.

"When will you introduce her to me?"

"Is too early mom, but I will surely do that." I said.

Mom left and I decided to text my Aisha. "Goodnight beautiful."
"Goodnight handsome. I mad at you." She replied.

"Why are you mad at me beautiful." I curiously asked.

"I have been waiting for you since." She replied.
"Sorry I was distracted." I replied
"Never mind babe." She said.

We had a very deep conversations. We get to know more about each other. I don't even what kind of feeling I have for her. All I know is  that feeling is very strong.

Aisha

I wake up to the a beautiful morning. It feels so peaceful, the reason behind it is Muhammad. Knowing he's now part of my life is everything to me. I step off my bed and get ready.

"Good morning." I greeted mom.
"Good morning Aisha, come and have your food." She said.

"I am not hungry." I replied.

"What wrong with you?." She asked.

"Nothing." I started walking then I stopped.

"Mom will you still want me to marry a stranger despite telling you I am in love?." I asked but she kept quite.

"Please talk to me mom."

"I don't have your time." She stood and get inside.

"Impossible." I sighed.

"Tell the guy you love to introduce himself." I heard from Nowhere.
