Amir and Zara got along so well, they acted as if they knew each other so well. A smile made it way out of my face seeing Amir and Zara jumping around in the living room, As Zara refused to follow her mom back home saying she wants to stay with her grandma, and I know it's because of Amir."Good morning wifey," Marwan said hugging me from behind. I pushed him a little, my eyes scanning the surrounding. "Don't forget that you're in your in-law's house," I whispered enough for him to hear."And so, besides you didn't mind yesterday when we-" I shut him up by covering his mouth with my palms."Ever since we came you've become naughty just like Amir." his lips twitch up.

    F A R A H we laugh, we cry. Sometimes we feel like giving up finding ourselves in an unfortunate predicament. When it's too much to handle we feel like hurting ourselves or doing something out of character. Such thing leads us into shutting out the people dear to us, Chasing away the people that are good to us. One thing to keep in mind is that no matter the hardship, sorrow, or any dilemma we should have faith in Allah, and know that Allah is with us. Whatever we're going through will come to pass someday. Insha Allah. Such is life.The room was a bit dark, the open windows being the only light reflecting the room, making the white ceiling visible. A dim light lamp laid on the left side of the bed, which made the room more composed.“Sis Farah”pulling the duvet to the brim of my eyes, I readjusted my sleeping position, completely ignoring my sister's call.“Sis Farah... Aren't you going to work today, mom said you should come down for breakfast” She yelled again ya Allah.Lunging

    Y A S M I NFriday AfternoonI was curled up in bed with Amir beside me, the boy had been sick since yesterday. I'm still on rest as per what Marwan told my boss, I am to rest for the whole week. Just the thought of staying indoors throughout the week without going to work excites me. Marwan is already at work, me and Amir being the only ones at home. I place my palms on his forehead and I'm glad his fever went down a bit. I've come to a decision that he will not go to school, we will spend the week together. Seeing it's almost time for Zuhr prayers, I pulled the duvet more to his body, getting out of the bed I went straight to the bathroom and did my wudhu and that reminded me of that night, the night we did our first kiss. The image is still clear in my head, that night is a special one for me. I prayed Zuhr Namaz praying to Allah to protect my family more and bless my marriage life. Getting married is not something I planned but now I realised that is what Allah planned.By the ti
