Chapter 16 : This is it.
It's the big moment. The life changing moment. It's Happening.
This is it, I thought as I shut my eyes tightly and heaved a breathe.
No, this wasn't the big it.
This was the I'm-finally-going-to-read-the-Quran it.
Gently and carefully, I flipped to the first page.
..... The Opening (Al-Fatiha)
¹. In the name of Allah (God) , the Gracious , The Merciful.
². Praise be to Allah (God) , Lord of the worlds.
³. The most Gracious , the most Merciful.
⁴. Master of the Day of Judgement .
5. It is You we worship , and upon You we call for help.
6. Guide us to the straight path.
7. The path of those You have blessed , not of those against whom there is anger , nor of those who are misguided.

"Yes oh my God I was so embarrassed..." She pursed her lips , "It was so stressful I felt like all my hair was turning white..!"
More like your HIJAB turned white, I thought, chuckling to myself slightly.
To everyone who just so happens to be curious enough about my life to wonder what was going on: Sarah was talking to someone on the phone and I was having fun third-wheeling the conversation.

Hm, Something she doesn't want to talk about? Sounds interesting.
"Bye."
"Touchy subject? " I questioned, turning my chair to face her.
She arched an eyebrow, " Adam, I'm sure your parents taught you that eavesdropping isn't a very good thing to do, right? "
Right. She wasn't supposed to know I was listening.
I shrugged. It was one of number one rules in life: when in a tight spot, shrug .
"I'm sitting right next to you, I couldn't help but hear some." I smirked, "Plus, I'm guessing someone shoved a microphone down your throat so you can't really blame me. "
She turned back to her papers and laughed quietly.
"So she changed the subject." I muttered.
"Not really Adam, I just don't feel like talking about it." Her words were so quiet I barely heard her.
Jesus, she has a loud voice AND perfect hearing. She really wasn't meant to hear that.
