Y A S M I NI was pacing around my room thinking of a way to tell Aunt about the issue. Should I just tell her the truth? After contemplating for a while an idea popped up in my head.Okay let's do thisI spot Aunt sitting on the two sitter couch knitting. I inhale a sharp breath to calm my beating heart."Um... Aunt, I want to speak to you." I started my eyes darting from her knitting to the floor."What is it?" She asked."Um... There is this my friend at work, she has a son and she asked if I can take care of him as she's traveling out of the country due to some problem and she has no one to take care of him, so she asked me and I agreed, it is okay with you?"What a flat lie!"How long is she staying there?" She inquired. "2-3days." I watched her hoping she won't raise another question. I hope my lie will work.After a little while, she releases a deep breath stopping her knitting for a bit."Okay, No problem." I didn't know when my face broke in a smile."Thank you Aunt, he's c

Y A S M I N It was 3 days since Marwan traveled and I didn't hear from him. He didn't call or text and I too will not call, if he's so full of himself so do i.I dropped Amir in school, glaring at his teacher as usual. Seriously I'm waiting for the right time to give her a piece of my mind.It didn't take me long to reach the office, as usual, I was greeted with a grinning Matilda. "Hey girl, I see you're smiling ear to ear what's the occasion," I asked placing my bag on the desk. The smile didn't leave her face, in fact, her grinning increases."You won't believe what happened to me today." She whispered yell. My brows cringe in question. She moved closer."I came together with the boss." She whispered just enough for me to hear."You what?""Didn't you hear what I just said? Mr. Sa'ad offered me a lift, so we came together." She said the last part with a squill."Oh.. I'm sure you're very happy right now." "Of course I am." "You are what?" A voice interrupts us. It was Max."O

Y A S M I NI kept chanting hasbinallahu wa ni'imal wakeel. I know by now my face is all over the news. I heard the sound of my phone which had been continuously ringing for the past 5 minutes but knowing exactly what the call is about, I decided not to pick.What should I do?I know Mr. Marwan must be cursing at me right now. It is not entirely my fault.My phone rang again for the 6th time, I let out a small hiss. Mom's name flashed across the screen. I held the phone tightly my heart beating fast."Assalamu Alaikum mo-" before I could finish my greetings she caught me off."Yasmin what I'm I seeing on the news,""Is that what I sent you there to do.""Mom-""I'm really disappointed in you, this is not how I brought you up" before I could utter another word the line went dead. I felt my throat tightening up. My body became weak, I slouched down on the floor not believing my ears.I'm disappointed in you.This is not how I brought you up.For the first time in a while, I felt weak,

Y A S M I N "Marriage." We both said at the same time."You're joking right?" I managed to say after accessing the man for some time. A small smile appears on his lips. "Do I look like I'm joking right now, it's the only option for you guys." He said as if it's something small."Papa, this is not something to joke about, it's about my reputation I tried to maintain all these years." He said the last part slowly glancing in my direction.Wait what's with the look."I hope it's not what I'm thinking right Marwan?" I turn towards him with a look of curiousness."Mind your tongue, it's Mr. Marwan for you." He gritted clenching his jaw. Do I care?"That is not the answer to my question, I hope you're not blaming me for this, it's equally both our fault. It's not that I expect such thing to happen, and besides who is the one that hired me to work for him knowing very well you're a popular man." It seems like I don't have control of my mouth.The look he gave me almost made me think maybe

Y A S M I NI glanced at my wristwatch for the nth time 7:30 pm. Marwan texted me that he's coming by 8:00 pm that's after he's done with his office work.He has the courage to go to work in this situation.And why can't he? You also went to work. Probably with me disguising myself like some sort of thief on run.I can't begin to think about what happened in the office today. First people looking at me weirdly of course who wouldn't by the way I covered my face completely my eyes only visible. And second, the look I received from the staff inside the office. I can't work with my face covered I had to uncover it.Matilda tried squeezing some explanation out of me but I said nothing. I'm not sure about this whole thing yet. And the boss who is always smiling unlike his brother "I didn't know you have an interest in my brother" he had said.And after work, I had to cover my face again to avoid getting recognized.Ya AllahI realised out a breath I didn't know I was holding."Yasmin Mar

Y A S M I NI stared at my reflection in the mirror. I look completely different. I was dressed in a pink long gown fitted around the legs with a loose flare from the bottom, I paired it with a pink silk hijab. A lot has happened in the past two weeks, we told the reporters that we're already married already for a month. We had to do things quietly. Although my family couldn't come their support is enough for me, though Mom wasn't convinced about this marriage thing, believe me, she had to she must be afraid history to repeat itself. Sometimes I used to think it's our destiny first Sis Farah and now me.Ya Allah make it easier for me.As for Marwan, I don't know what to say, he's just present whenever he's needed. I know that he's not going to hurt me at least that's what he told me. I hope he will be true to his words."OMG look at you Yasmin you look totally different, how should I say it magnificent" Matilda beamed. She's the one doing my makeup. A smile made it way out of my lip.

Y A S M I NMy eyes fluttered open to the morning light Illuminating the room. I stretched my arms feeling better, sleeping on the bed feels so good. It's better than mine back home. My stomach made a growling sound. I didn't eat dinner last night. After doing my usual morning routine, i wore a peach floral long sleeve gown and tied my head with a black veil. I applied little powder and a nude lipstick watching my reflection on the mirror.Good.The living look much better by the sunlight illuminating through the uncovered window. Masha Allah. I find myself saying Marwan really did a good job choosing the couch design, it really took my breath away."Good morning sleepy heads." I almost flinch at the source of voice. There stood Marwan dressed in a suit with a plate of Allah knows what in his hands and a mug on the other. Ya Allah he scared me i thought he has left for office already."You scared me, how long were you standing there?." I said placing my hand on my racing heart he real

Y A S M I N "Good morning all. " Mr Sa'ad greeted after taking a seat in his usual position. We're having an emergency meeting which we're about to know about it. "Good morning. " we all said in unison."Let me get to the point, the sole reason of this emergency meeting is that one of our investors is coming from England, he's one of our biggest investors. And he's thinking of investing in our other branch, so i want each and everyone of you to prepare. This is our chance to get more recognised by the world. With that being said i will take my leave. " he rushed out of the meeting room with Linda tailing behind him."Oh God what a stressful day, i hate working late. " Matilda groaned tapping her foot in annoyance. "Calm down girl, its not something you're not used to " i said patting her shoulder."Look at how you're glowing. I want to get married too. " she fake a cry.This girl with her drama."Then do it" i teased getting a scowl from her."Okay enough with the teasing, since yo

A woman was seated a few miles away from them with a smile on her face."Amir be careful" she shouted when the noticed the taller one fell."Okay Mom" the boy answered with a toothy smile. She will forever be grateful to Allah for blessing her with the two lovely sons. Suddenly, a plate was placed in front of her. she let out another smile seeing her husband, the father of her kids. A smile on his face too."Amir and Siddiq" she called the boys. Upon hearing their Mom's voice, they stopped playing running towards where their parent are seated."Yes Mom," Amir said. Siddiq's voice which isn't that clear mimics his brother's voice. Siddiq was named after Papa. He reaches for the plate of fruits."No Siddiq, your hands are dirty. wash your hands first, then I'll give you your favorite fruits" the boy's face lit up. She pecked both of

Y A S M I NToday marked one week since our arrival and I must say mom was trying her best in taking care of Marwan and Amir. Sis Farah visited us too. She was surprised and also happy. 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. "I'll be naughty just for you, when is your sister coming?" he asked which made me remember we both decided to go out for dinner today.

Y A S M I NEverything had been parked, the driver took them to the car. I watched the house, I feel like I'm living the house for forever. A hand touch my shoulder."Shall we" "Yes" I said letting out a sharp breathe.The drive to the airport was not so quite, as Amir couldn't stay calm, even the the a month of toys I gave him but the boy was still jumping up and down, he's growing up being stubborn nowadays."Can we cope with Amir like this" I whispered to Marwan, who was seated at the front. "Of course we can, he's now a big boy right Amir?" he turned his face and glanced at Amir, who was busy playing with the drivers seat pocket, hearing his father's voice his head snapped towards him, stopping at was he was doing."Don't worry Yasmin, it's nothing to worry about, beside I'll be with him too" As if he's saying the truth. when he start his work, he wouldn't even remember Amir nor me but I hope this little vacation will at least get him closer to him.

Y A S M I N"I almost forgot, I'm here to tell you something," he said sitting on the empty space beside me."Okay, then I'm all ears""Here," he said handing me an envelope. I stared at the white envelope in confusion."What's inside?""Open it and see for yourself" I tore the lid."Tickets?" I said taking out the tickets."Yeah, it's for us, we're going on a vacation," he stated tight-lipped."To my hometown?" I access the ticket, not believing my eyes. Marwan taking me on a vacation and that to my hometown. Before I could realize it, I find myself lunging my arms around Marwan's neck."Ya Allah, I'm so happy thank you so much" I grinned, he encircled his arms around me too, tightening his hold, as if he's afraid I will disappear. "I thought that it will be best to spend some time together with Amir, and I think why not go to your hometown. I know you're missing your family." "How sweet of you" he pulled apart, cupping my face with his palms. "You know, I will do whatever that wil

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

"Should I call.?" he asked again. I hummed in return. I heard the sound of the door closing, which means Marwan left.**I cuddled up in bed too lazy to lift my body downstairs, my only movement is when I had to pray, after then I went back to bed again but not sleeping rather reading some hadith I downloaded on my phone. The phone suddenly rang, a smile appears on my lips seeing the person calling me."Assalamu Alaikum. " I started in my most calm voice."Wa Alaikum salam, are you still in bed?" he inquired.

Marwan got back to work, as he now has more responsibilities than before. We both were busy with our owns works. dropping Amir in aunts place as usual. Even with our distances we still manage to talk during the night, though it's not much but it still better than not talking."Matilda can you help me check this power point if it's okay for the presentation. " The shareholders are coming tomorrow, so everyone is preparing a presentation as per the boss order. Matilda whose eyes was glued to the computer screen for the past thirty minutes, whirled her chair to my desk. "Its okay, you just need to make a few changes like the text size, it should be a little bit bigger and the line spacing shouldn't be too tight. " "Sure thanks.

"No, I'm just asking maybe, you know we haven't visit Amir in Aunt place since yesterday. I told her about...." suddenly the door burst open cutting me off. it was the young lady I saw the other time with the woman. "What happened Naila?" Marwan started seeing the look on her face, so I'm not the only one who notice the frown on her face."Mom wants to talk to you. " she muttered, something like hate, bitter coming from her voice."Okay, I'm coming, just give me five minutes. " the lady called Naila rolled her, which I didn't miss to see and shut the door with a loud thud. "We will pick him up tomorrow, now lets go meet my mom, I didn't get to introduce you two earlier.
