The Flight To Jeddah [#ProjectNigeria] COMPLETED ✔

Is he bothering you? Ya Amar enquired

Why? I asked subconsciously

"Because he's been staring at you"

Who?

The guy from Qatar, his family knows ours I guess. Habeeb ko

Uhum? It sounded like a question.

Amrah are you listening to me or are you staring at Habeeb too.

What? Why? Umhh I gave Ya Amar a cold glare.
"Why should I be staring at him. Is it that I've never seen a guy looking hot in a Julbab"

That last statement came out of nowhere.

Who's looking hot in a Julbab? Ya Imran cuts in adjusting his Julbab and grinning from ear to ear.

She meant Habeeb.

Ya Imrans smile turned into a Frown as he sighted Habeeb walking towards us.

:Nooo wallah he's lying"I said as I threw a punch at Ya Amar's biceps and he fake wailed in pain.

Salaam he smiled as he shook their hands.
Did they just replied coldly.? Especially Ya Imran.

Ya Imran: I heared the you're leaving tonight.

Nooo

"No, the Senator is leaving tonight. I have some unfinished business here" be replied directing his charming smile at me.

*I'd get used to this forever 😍*

Ya Imran caught that and ordered "Ammi could you go up and get me my wrist watch"

Wait I could swear I just saw him adjusting his wrist watch.

Okay I pouted.

HABEEB

Imran: She's a little girl you know.!

I didn't know if that was a warning or simply a gesture.
I watched as she walked away.
"Yes"
I replied after a while.
Imran: What?

Yes she's just a little girl.!

He sounded protective.

I'm going to the Masjid shall we?

"Yes" I stood up.

"Your wrist watch" I reminded him as he made way to the door.

Imran: Forget it I'd get it later.

Since the last time I saw her. It's been hard to get her off my mind.Yesterday I watched as she picked up my little niece and I admired the way she looked fascinating with the kid.
Apparently when I found out that she wasn't stalking me, I started stalking her, we walked side by side on numerous Tawafs but she seemed to be lost in thoughts or her head always bowed in concentration of her ibada.

Here am I like other days walking side by side with the lady I pray will be mine one day. We concluded 7 rounds of the Tawaf and our eyes met, this time she smiled and I was dumbfounded.

"Ya Allah bless me with the desires of my heart and make it the best for me"

"Ameen" we said in unison.
She startled me.

"I hope you were not praying to kill me because I just said Ameen to your prayers."

"I was praying to have you" I muttered rather loudly and I watched as her eyes widened.

*Damn she was blushing.*

Astaghfirullah let me take this outside.

I led the way and she followed silently.
Outside her head was bowed down.
Was she shy?
Did I say something wrong.

"Sorry for my outburst it was something needed to Stay in my head"

"It's okay" She mumbled

"So Jeddah tomorrow right?" I asked.

"Yeah Mummy wanted to buy some stuff. Wait how do you know?." She raised her eyebrows and I was amused.

"Ya Hajara was talking about it earlier"

Ohh.

"You guys seem so close. I overheard Ya Hajara calling you Auta" she giggled childishly.

*Now it was my turn to be shy*

I hope you're not like them?

How are they like? I burrowed my eyebrows.

You know fussy, stubborn, and all the other stuffs

But Adnan is not all that.

The twins are.!

But Adnan is your last born

Okay you win.

We walked silently to our spot. Yes she's waited for me twice to read the football headlines while she gets cake.
I guess it has become our thing.

"I should let you go.
They're travelling early and you need to get some sleep.
I've seen women shop and it's exhausting. Do not learn from them."

She laughed. A compelling and admirable one I must say.

Goodnight Habibi

*I think I heared that wrong*

Sleep well Princess.

Her eyebrows burrowed.

"I meant Daddy's princess." I corrected myself

She smiled and walked away.
