Making Her Mine

Chapter 2

"And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)..."-
Al-Noor 24:31, Qur'an.

Safina couldn't understand or read her brother's face. After enquiring Rihab, on what he was doing at his door step that too when his sister was alone at home, Adeel walked in the home and was giving her a silent treatment.

"Bhaiya.. "Safina started but he stopped her, showing his Palm.

"Do you know where your friend is?" He asked, his forehead creased. He knew how Rihab would be feeling knowing that his sister is missing.

Safina nodded and showed him the note which Rashiya'a had sent while Adeel looked confused.

"Rashiya'a has written where she is!" Safina informed, pointing to the note where something was sribbled and Adeel noticed only one word. it was a name of the shopping mall.

For the life of him, Adeel couldn't understand what was going on.

"I will explain all that later,"Safina said as she walked back to her room to get the Abaya. "go tell him Rashi is in the shopping Mall."

Adeel shaked his head. His sister and her friend were totally weird.
Just made for eachother besties.

"Your sister is enjoying in the Mall!" Adeel said, while Rihab raised his eyebrows.

How careless of that girl to go on shopping without informing anyone.

"What?" Rihab asked.

"You heard me!" Adeel retorted, his hands in his jeans pocket.

Rihab nodded and thanked him and turned to leave when he heard Safina's voice and stopped.

"let's go, bhaiya." Safina came rushing, clad in her black abaya and veil.

"Where?" Adeel almost groaned. He was tired after playing football and he wanted nothing but to take a hot shower and nap.

"To find Rashiya'a." Safina said, pleading with her eyes.

Adeel thought for a while and nodded, because he knew his sister was as stubborn as chewing gum getting stuck in a dress. (lol)

After texting his parents that he and Safina are going out for a while, Adeel locked the gate and as he walked towards his two wheeler, Honda, he noticed Rihab looking at it in a trance. He was lost in deep thoughts.

Was it tears that he saw in his eyes? Rihab blinked back his tears, putting on his goggles and walked over to his car.

Adeel knew that look, as if something was haunting and disturbing him.

Maybe something horrific was related to it!

What was it?
