It's been two weeks since Ethan and I started working together or rather tried to work together with no progress. We still have not settled on anything for the assignment, and I have can't believe it's due in two weeks. I just finished performing Dhuhr (Afternoon) prayer, and I am getting ready for class. I did not have lectures in the morning; that's why I am still at home. I put on my outfit, which consists of a black crop sweater with green plaid pants and black ankle boots. I am about to step out of the house when I receive a call from one of my loved ones.
"As salamu alaykum" My elder brother, Usman says once I answer his call. Usman is 6'1 feet's tall, has a solid build, with dark brown eyes, has a tan skin tone that he gets from my dad while I got my dark skin tone from my mom. My brother is a very handsome man.
"Wa alaykumu salam."
"How are you doing sis," Usman says smiling
"Am doing great, and you."
"I am also doing great. I wanted to inform you I will be coming to California next week. I hope you will have time to spare for your brother."
"I will always have time to spare for you, if you are coming with my amazing nephew," I miss my nephew dearly. Usman is married with a child.
"I knew you were going to say that, because it's only my son you care about, and he won't be able to come with me."
"I have cared about you enough. It's time I pass the love to your son, and why won't he be able to come with you."
"Because I would be going to school, auntie," My handsome nephew says, coming into my line of view. Hassan is three years old and has his mother's features and looks cute as ever. He has the same fair skin tone as her, beautiful big brown eyes and the same round face. He is the cutest three years old out there to me.
"Oh, that's sad my cutie pie, but how are you doing?"
"I am doing great auntie. You need to see all the things I have coloured" He says showing me his textbooks with drawings and his excellent colouring skills
"They are so beautiful, my love."
"Thank you, auntie; mummy said the same thing too," He says with a beautiful bright smile on his face
"Really, is mummy close by so I could say hi to her?"
"I am here, Adina; how are you doing?" My sister-in-law says, coming into my line of view. Amina is fair-skinned, 5'6 feet tall and has a beautiful heart.
"Don't ask me how I am doing. Go and reply to my messages" I say to my best friend. Amina and I went to the same secondary school and have been best friends ever since. Marrying my elder brother only brought us closer than ever.
"You know the reason I have not replied to your messages is because of these two boys in my life. They are keeping me preoccupied" Amina says, and I am about to reply when my brother cuts me short
"You guys can continue your conversation later. I did not call Adina for you guys to talk" Usman says taking back his phone from his wife
"You know I could simply end the call with you and call her."
"I know you can, but don't try it."
"Better for you," I say smiling
"I don't blame you, but anyway as I was saying, I am coming to California next week In Shaa Allah, so be expecting me,"
"Alright I will, bye, and see you next week In Shaa Allah," I say and end the call after he says, Ameen
I walk outside into my car and drive to school. I arrive at the university, and on my way to class; I am stopped in the hallway by Ethan. I see Ethan's face every single day, and I don't like it one bit.
