Ameera's an 18 year old girl. Born Muslim but wasn't practicing Islam properly. Shy, insecure and selfless. She is in her teen years wanting to enjoy like all the other teenagers.
Meet Ahmed. A 19 year old boy practicing Islam. Quiet, kind, caring a...
"We actually saw this coming sweetheart. That boy was very obvious with his feelings towards you and you very oblivious towards it" my dad continued coming in and leaning on my bedroom door.
"It's completely up to you. We really like Ahmed for you but there will be no pressure from our side" dad reassured me and mum agreed with it.
"You can let us know your decision right now or you can take your time. We are fine with anything" mum continued. "You can take a days time, a week or months, or years, whatever you are comfortable with" mum says mischievously.
"No not years"I blurt out before I could stop it. My parents start laughing at this.
"Good. Don't keep the poor guy waiting" mum winks.
My face burns with embarrassment. "Alright stop teasing my princess" dad comes to my side. I hug him. He is the best.
"But seriously tho don't keep him waiting" dad gives mum hi five making me huff and pout.
"I won't make him wait dad. I like him too but I was scared that he would change his mind. But seeing as how he came to you both straight after confessing to me shows that he is serious about it" my parent's nod. "So my answer is yes" Mum starts tearing up at this.
"My baby is so big now" mum sobs.
"Alright honey, save some tears for the wedding too" dad teases her making me chuckle at their silly behavior.
"Okay, we will let you be now. Come down for dinner in an hour okay?" Dad kisses my temples and pulls mum with him.
I couldn't stop smiling. I wanted to share this news and who else better than my best friend?
I ring Nina. It rings three times before she picks up her phone. "Assalam Alaikum Nina! Oh sorry it just slipped out"
"Walaikum Assalam Ameera and it's not a problem. I was trying to get used to it anyways" Nina responds.
I squeal not able to contain my happiness. "I have some news for you"
"Really? Me too" She squeals back. Yup this shows how crazy we are.
"Okay, we both say it at the same time, cool?" I ask.
"Okay"
"3, 2, 1-"
"Ahmed proposed"
"I'm converting to Islam"
We both say at the same time and start squealing again.
"Oh my Ghosh whattttt when did this happen?"
We laugh. Silly us.
"Uh two days back?"
"and why am I getting to know about this now?" Nina teases.
"I was trying to figure out if it was really happening and wasn't sure if he was serious about it" I say in low voice.
"Okay stop right there. Girl how oblivious can you be? Anyone could tell he had feelings for you but you. He didn't even bother to hide his feelings yet you couldn't see it?" She asks in a stern tone.
"Nope"
"What am I gonna do with you?" I could say she was facepalming herself right now. Which made me giggle. " uh don't laugh there missy this isn't funny"
"Actually it is" and continue giggling and she joins me not able to control it.
"Anyways I was going to call you to ask if you would come with me to masjid when I convert"
"Of course silly. You don't even have to ask" I hear my mum call me for dinner. "When are you planning to do it?"
"Tomorrow" she answered.
"Tomorrow! That's good. The earlier the better" I exclaim.
"Yeah. Anyways you go have dinner we can talk later"
"Okay Assalam Alaikum"
"Walaikum Assalam" she hangs up.
Can this day get any better? Ahhh I could get used to this *we sigh*
