Life is like a staircase, you take a step after another step.

After a long day at school, my friends and I departed. I got home late coz I was so happy. I parked my car in the garage and I headed inside the house, I met my dad and mum watching kdrama and I walked to them and peck them.

Salam alaikum Abba wa ummi, I greeted

Walaikum salam habibti, replied dad and mum in unison

What's up with this happy mood? Asked mum

How do you know that? I questioned

It's obvious, replied dad

Tell us the full gist, we're all ears, said mum curiously. That's why I love my parents they're always curious to know everything that's wrong with me.

Someone proposed to me today, I blurted

Masha Allah, they said. What a surprise? I thought they would scold me coz the graduation is near.

I'm happy for you, said mum hugging me

When will he pay us a visit? Asked dad

Maybe next week, I said without assurance

What's his name? Asked dad

His name is Jamal Baasim, I replied

Masha Allah, what a nice name, said dad and mum

Which family is he from? Asked mum. Here comes the question I've been waiting for

He's one of the sons of the billionaire, Mr Baasim, I said

Wow!!!! He's from a nice and simple family, said dad

A billionaire family who lives a simple life like a lower class family, what a great family? Said mum

Huhmm, I murmured

Tell him to come home next week, said dad

OK sir, I replied

After the discussion with my parents, I went upstairs to my room, I dropped my bag on the sofa in my room and I went to the bathroom and I took a long bath and make wudhu and pray namaaz. After praying, I changed into my pyjamas and I started reminiscing what happened today and I later dozed off.
   
               I wake up the second morning, I make wudhu and pray fajr namaaz and I bathed. I dolled up myself in a black tight jeans, white top, long black coat, white hijab, black bag and white adidas sneakers. I walked down to the dinning Hall to eat my breakfast of toast, scrambled eggs, nutella and tea. After eating, I went to the garage and drive myself in a white land rover to school.

Salam alaikum, I said on phone

Walaikum salam, she replied

Aliyah, where are you? I asked

I'm in the hallway, she replied

OK, wait for me, I'm on my way, I said

OK, no problem, she said

I run quickly to hallway to meet up with Aliyah to talk before heading to the lecture room.

Ali, I shouted as I spotted her

Hi, she said waving

Hi, I said walking up to her

How was your night? She asked

Alhamdulillah and yours? I asked

Same here, she replied

Ali, jazakAllah khairan for everything you've done for me, you're truly a good friend, I said
