Ameera's POV-
I woke up to this annoying noise. Can you guess what it is? Ding ding ding... we have a winner. It's my stupid alarm. Urrrghhh every morning is like a deja vu. Today Ahmed and I planned to ask Nina and Aiden about the thing they have been hesitating to ask/tell us. I may kind of have an idea but I could be wrong too so it's better to know from them.
I got up from bed after lazying for another 5 minutes. Just recollecting all that happened yesterday brought a smile to my face. Suddenly I'm not feeling lazy anymore. I took a quick shower and got ready. Winter is starting so I have to make sure I dress accordingly. Should I wear a sweater or hoodie? Urrghh I should have decided yesterday. This is why I pick my outfit before I sleep so I can just put it on in the morning.
Ameera's outfit ^
I feel fresh just looking at the color of this hoodie. This shade reminds me of orange. I like orange. I don't like the juice but I love to eat the fruit. Is that weird? >.< Anyways, I went downstairs to have breakfast with my parents. I said my salaam and greeted them good morning. Today I was in the mood for some pancakes and look at the connection I got with my mum. She made PANCAKES. Ahhh she is the best mum in the world.
"Ahhh I love you ma" I said after having a bite of the pancake.
"Love you too baby" mum replied. I beamed back at her.
"Arey waah ye acha hai saara pyar bas anpi ma ko aur papa ko kuch bhi nahi?" Dad said sarcastically and rolled his eyes. Sometimes my dad can get childish when he feels I'm showing my love more towards mum. (Translation: Wow would you look at that, all love goes to ma but nothing for papa huh?)
"How can I not love you pa? After all, you're the best dad in the world. Majal hai kya meri aapko kum pyar krne ki?" I asked cheekily. (Translation: how can I dare to love you any less?)
"And you are my best daughter in the whole world" he said back cheekily.
"I think you are forgetting I'm the only daughter you have" I said rolling my eyes.
"Alright, papa and papa ki bachi. It's getting late don't you have to leave?" Mum inquiries.
(Translation: Alright papa and papa's daughter.)
"Ya Rabbi! I'm late. I have to get going. Love you both. Allah hafiz" I left quickly.
I reached university. We had the first two periods off. Actually, it was supposed to be only the second period off but our professor who took our first period was on leave so guess two periods it is.
Nina was going to reach a bit late because apparently she threw her alarm this morning so she got up late. Can't say I blame her, hehe. Aiden went for swimming practice. I remember Ahmed told me he was going to play basketball for some time so I went to the basketball court.
Looks like they were having fun. At first, I didn't see Ahmed but then I saw a shirtless boy trying to balance a football on his head and others cheering him. When I looked closely, it was Ahmed.
I blushed when I saw him like that and quickly looked away. I turned to leave when I heard him call my name. I turned back and thank Allah he had a shirt on this time. Phew, a close call.
"Hey, class doesn't start for like another hour and half. You wanna hang out till then?" He asked me.
"Why don't we wait for Aiden and Nina? We can talk to them about them opening up to us about anything" I asked him back. To which he nodded.
"Yeah, we can get over with it. I'll just take a quick shower and meet you in our first-period classroom" he said and turned to pick up his things.
"Sounds good. Meet you there" I gave a quick thumbs up and left.
I sat in one of the classrooms and texted Ahmed the room number. Meanwhile waiting for Ahmed, I opened my Wattpad and started reading the story. I'm a sucker for these stories. Sometimes it's hard to find a good story to read but when I do find them, it's so worth it. I don't how long I sat there engrossed in the story. I felt a presence next to me. I turned and saw it was Ahmed. His hair was a bit wet.
"Ahhh I see your reading another story. Did you finish the previous one?" He asked me looking curious.
"Yes and yes, it was amazing" I gave him a big smile. "It was hard to find such a good story but it was worth it" I sign dreamily. "Do you think I could ever get that happiness the girl gets in this story?" I asked feeling a bit sad and lonely.
"Definitely princess. Remember having sabr is what makes everything worth it. And let's not forget having faith in His plans for us" he assured me.
"You are right" "I just hope I find such happiness soon too" I gave a hopeful look.
"You will In Shaa Allah" he said. I looked at him and smiled, then I realized he called me princess.
"You called me princess?" I inquired raising an eyebrow at him.
"Yeah, I remember you told me that's what your name meant so why not?" He said cheekily.
"Alright I'll spare you for now" I said raising my chin up.
"Good" he said chuckling at my behavior.
The classroom door opened. Aiden and Nina walked in. Both of them greeted us and sat beside us. I looked at Ahmed and gave him a nod to start asking.
Ahmed started by saying "So the other day Ameera and I noticed you guys wanted to talk to us about something but were hesitating. Is everything okay?"
"I want you both to understand that we both care for you guys deeply and that if you guys ever want to talk or ask us about anything, we will always be here" I continued. "This being said, whenever you both are ready to talk, we will be here. Okay?"
They both nodded. Nina gave Aiden a look and then both of them turned to us. Ya Rabbi whatever problems these guys are facing help them. Help us help them, Ameen!
