His mother stared at him and know he was fuming with anger. “And what is it?” She asked in defensive. “Ummu, please I am begging you, don’t go see Yasminah like that again.

A nikkah ...“Ma sha Allah, she finally agreed?” Her mother asked him and he nodded. He hardly hide things from his parents being the last child of the family and being the closet to his parents. They were just like his friends. “And her sister is getting married soon, ma Sha Allah.” His father said.“I think this is better now that you have a job.” His mother said to him.“We would have accepted her all the same if she accepted the wedding proposal then, more like a having a bonus daughter.” His father said. “So, I will get her Wali’s phone number and plan a meeting with him ins Sha Allah, and I am hoping we can even have a Nikkah on her sister wedding day and probably planned for the Walimah later ins sha Allah.” His father said and Ismail nodded. “Do you think that your apartment is
