A SPARKLE OF TRUE LOVE..

*Chapter 1*

"Honesty will guide you to goodness, and goodness will invite you to heaven."
― HAZRAT ALI (R.A)

You are master of what you say until you utter it, once you deliver it, you are its captive. Preserve your tongue as you do your gold and money. One word could bring disgrace and the termination of a bliss."
― HAZRAT ALI (R,A)

''Areesha get up beta (child)..
Only half an hour till fajr ends. get up now ''Mon withdrew my blanket exposing me to the chills offered by the current atmosphere 

"just 5 minutes, i promise! "i pulled up my pale pink blanket closer ,snuggling closer to its soft furs 

.''No, get up right now or i am going to sprinkle water on you''. i slightly peaked to confirm if her threat  was real  and indeed she had a water filled glass in hand 

sighing i sleepily got up to perform wudhu earning  her smile a a kiss on forehead 

An atmosphere of peace engulfed me as soon as I started praying. The beauty of the fajr is truly indescribable, yes its difficult to get up but the serene environment and peace you feel while performing it is amazing..

i was helping mom in the kitchen when we heard a loud bang and an even a louder salam(greeting) ,yes my brother was home,wonder from where does he gets the energy from this early ! and why i didn't hear my father's voice praising him for his deed 

''What's for breakfast I am starved'' were his words as he entered  kitchen smiling my way 

"you just ate a whole shop last night ,how come you are hungry already ?"my small sister teased rayyan earning a scowl 

''don't start in the morning you two''mom  warned placing their breakfast on the table .

Amira and rayyan busied themselves setting the table  while I went to call my father for breakfast.

A sudden pleasant change was apparent in my fathers attitude which I have been noticing since a week now but couldn't put a finger on the cause..
Finally while sitting on the table before starting my breakfast I decided to voice my thoughts..

"Baba is their any news for us ,you seem quite happy ?"my eager self couldn't control more 

''You will know soon enough'' he chuckled at my observation 

it peeked rayyan's and ameera's interest who started persuading dad to tell them the reason,it wasn't everyday baba had this huge smile on his face 

My mom had a smile on her face.which let me to the conclusion that whatever it was. It had to be very special.
And now me and my siblings were making all sorts of wild guesses to which my father was only nodding his head in negative or was giving us a bore look..
Finally after many random and foolish guesses we gave up..
''You will get to know as soon as you will return home after collage''. My mom said to which we all huffed loudly.

''That's not fair dad please we are curious''. Rayyan insisted

''Kids don't you think your mother looks very pretty today my father said changing the topic.''.to which my mother shook her head while smiling but the next sentence which my father said made that smile turn into a scowl..
''OH NO !no! actually I am not wearing my glasses yes that's the case..Your Mom looks the same.. of course i mean more beautiful what were you thinking '' he added after seeing the looks on moms face. making us all laugh..

I murmured Alhumdulilah silently while seeing all the happy faces of the people so close to my heart..
MAY ALLAH KEEP EVERYONE IN THE WORLD HAPPY..AMEEN
A family is truly a beautiful blessing of Allah..
