she has not said that she likes me yet, and this guy is already asking about my marriage? 

"I don't know- maybe tomorrow, maybe an hour later!" i joked and he laughed

"Sure, i see the computer program has said yes to your proposal!" he winked and i laughed

my phones ringtone blared in the room and i hit answer on the hologram 

Waarith was not at all surprised coz he knew what these were like 

"As salaamu alaikum!" said Iqraam grinning at us 

He has his shades at the top of his head and he was wearing a 'BULA SMILE' (What up country reference!) 

"Wa alaikum mus salaam!" we replied in unison 

"So whats the story bro? how the honeymoon trip going?" teased Waarith and Iqraam chuckled

"My wife, my family, my kids- too much fun!" he said, genuinely smiling 

"Awwww!" that was Waarith 

he is this guy that is very sweet and nice but can be very bitter and mean 

"So why did you decide to land in SA when i am not there?" asked Iqraam and Waarith chuckled

"Actually, one of my school friends is getting engaged this coming week, I take it you will know him, he is a native Maori, Nathaniel Hughs? the guy from All Blacks team? yeah he is getting engaged here so we had to attend it-" said Waarith and i nodded

I had met him, he is nice i can say 

"Oh right- the invitation i got, i had to decline coz of this vacation- which reminds me, why did you NOT attend my reception?" asked Iqraam and Waarith chuckled sheepishly 

"Thats coz I was really busy, i have been training, working and studying all at once, we had a big match against the Crusaders just this Monday, was tired!" he replied and Iqraam nodded 

"Sure, you come to my grandkids weddings eh! thats only when i will see you!" retorted Iqraam and i laughed

"Yes!" said Waarith bowing playfully 

"Hows Iqra?" asked Iqraam and i chuckled 

"Great as always, she had work, too much work actually, these past few days- but i think shes coping on, which also reminds me, Daadi mah is setting her up with Waarith" i told Iqraam and Waarith threw fits of coughs 

"What the heck?!!" asked Iqraam and i nodded, fisting my hands 

"Yeah-" i muttered 

"No way, bro- no way- whos Iqra again?" asked Waarith 

"You have not met her?" i asked him and he shook his head 'no' 

"Nope- My sister and my great friend? na- ah- plus i bet Iqra will kill him in a day or two-" said Iqraam and i laughed 

so true 

"Woah, is she that bad?" said Waarith and i smiled

"Not really, shes nice once you get to know her, but at times she does get cranky" i said and Iqraam began his hyena laugh 

I swear i will change his name to Hyena on my phone 

"Did you just say what i heard you just said??!!" he asked me after sobering up 

Waarith was just staring at him because Iqraam looked so damned weird atm 

"depends on what you heard" i muttered and he laughed again, but a short one this time
