The Perfect Union

Chapter 16 - Good Morning wishes

Aliyahs POV

I had woken up a while ago but was enjoying the lie in. I kept going over yesterday. Everything had gone so well Mashah Allah. The meeting with Ahmed had left me all tingly. I chuckled thinking how Samaa and Rabs tried to get me tell them what happened but I decided to keep those special moments to myself. Tomorrow was the wedding. Everything was set up so we had decided to have a girly pampering day today with all the girls and women in our family.

I heard my phone beep. I reached out from under my duvet and grabbed my phone. There were like a gazillion messages from yesterday, congratulation messages from familu and friends. I hadnt managed to reply to anyone yet. I was about to put my phone down when I saw two messages from this morning.

One message was from Aaminah and one from a new number. I wondered who that was so I decided to open the mystery text first.

Asalaam Alaikum and Good morning Beautiful. Just thought I'd send you a text wishing you an amazing day Inshah Allah. Take lots of care of yourself. Can't wait to see you tomorrow Inshah Allah. A x

Wait......did Ahmed just send me a morning text. No matter how much I told myself I was too old for all this lovey dovey stuff I had to admit it was cute.

After finally calming myself down I managed to open Aaminah's text.

Asalaam alaikum Bhabi...so sorry for waking you up but I have been ordered to text you and tell you that I passed your number to your crazy...I mean loving husband. Please don't kill me. You guys are married now so I had no room to argue with him. Cant wait for you to get here so we can g**g up against him. See you tomorrow Inshah Allah. Salaams. A x

Them two are so crazy. I decided to text Aminah first.

Thanx for the heads up. And there was me thinking I had a secret admirer who was sending me messages. Lol just kidding. Anyway dont worry I have already started plotting our revenge. See you tomorrow Inshah Allah. A x

Now back to Ahmeds message. First thing first what shall I save his number as. Just as I was thinking what to do someone pulled back my duvet and grabbed my phone.

'I've been standing in your room for the past 5 minutes and you have been so absorbed in your phone I had to find out what was so interesting' Rabs said scrolling through my messages the excitement growing as it dawned on her who the messages were from.

'Give my phone back Rabs' i cried from my bed. I knew my sister too well she was even worse then Aaminah when it came to playing tricks.

I could see her typing on the phone at 100mph and then she through it back at me saying ' You can thank me later' and then ran out of my room.

I just groaned thinking what she had done. I quickly unlocked the phone. The first thing I noticed was she had saved Ahmeds number as Husby love I groaned again but I knew that wasn't that bad and the worse was to come. Yup I was right she had texted him back. She had written just one short line.

Who is this?

Great now he is probably going to think I get random texts like this all the time. I could always text him back and tell him it was Rabs......but then he would think that I had read his text but hadnt replied. Or I could wait for his reply and then reply.....but then he would think that I had ignored his orignal text.......eurghhh i groaned thunking what to do when I heard my phone beep.

Message from Hubsy Love.

Great I was going to murder Rabs.

Ahmeds POV

As soon as I had woken up I had gotten Aliyahs number from Aaminah. I mean I could have saved myself all the embarassment and ridicule that I had to endure and just got it myself yesterday but I had totally forgotten about it. Thats the thing whenever I was close to Aliyah I forgot everything else.

As soon as I got her number I texted her before I could talk myself out of it. It was nearly 10am and I hadnt got a reply. But then again it was the day before the wedding she was probably busy.

Just as I was. Aliyahs family had given must of her things to us yesterday. So mum, fatz and Aminah were currently taking over my room and getting it ready for Aliyah.

I was just busy doing some work on my pc when I saw Aminah checking her phone and chuckling to herself.

'Whats so funny ducky' I asked. Ducky was her new nickname because recently she had starting taking alot of pics with the famous duckface look. She didnt like that nickname.

'I would have told you but seeing as you just called me that stupid nickname I wont now. Anyway Im sure you will find out soon' she said sticking her tongue out.

I was debating whether I should get up and wrestle her for her phone but then I heard a beep. No one else seemed to notice as I got up grabbed my phone and sat on the bed.

There was a message from Aliyah. It was so hard to keep a straight face with them 3 in my room but my heart was bursting with excitement.

Who is this?

Seriously is that what she wrote......I couldnt believe it. I mean who else would text her such a lovey dovey good morning text. I was starting to get annoyed when I remembered she had annoying little sisters too. Haider told me how they were all always playing pranks.....it had to be a joke.

Its Ahmed I texted back. And before I could put my phone down it beeped.

Aly:I am so sorry. My stupid sister thought it would be funny to send you that reply. You have a younger sister too so you understand what they are like. Arghh this is not the reply I had in mind but I thought its best to explain the situation

Me: Lol no worries. Like you said I know what sisters are like. Lets start again. Asalaam Alaikum. How are you this morning?

Aly: Walaikum Asalaam Im good Alhamdulillah. How are you? Thank u for the text......it was sweet ☺

My heart skipped a beat. She called me sweet....

Me: Im good too Alhamdulillah. Theres no need to thank me....I was just thinking about you and thought Id just text.

There was a short pause and then

Aly: Well it was nice to wake up to a good morning text either way. So what you up to??

Me: Well I have been up early because I have 3 crazy women who have taken over my room trying to get everything perfect for your arrival. I cant believe it you havent even arrived yet and it seems you are already more important then me

Im not a smiley person but I thought Id join her and add some smileys of my own.

Aly: Awwww i feel bad for you. Im still in bed lol. Tell your mum and sisters not too go all out for me. We can do all that after I come.

Me: I cant wait. Only one day to go Inshah Allah. What are your plans for the day. Let me know if you need anything. I know Im like 100 miles away but Ill try my best to help.

Aly: Thanks again but everything is pretty much ready. We are just having a girly pamper today. Which reminds me I better get up and have some breakfast otherwise the crazy brigade will be jumping on my bed soon trying to get me up.

Me: Yeah you should definitely get something to eat and go spend some time with your family. And Ive got to save my star wars collection as it is heading for the bin bag. Allah Hafiz ?

Oh no I was supposed to send a smiley not a kiss.

Me: Oh damn it was supposed to be a smiley not a kiss. Im so sorry dont take it the wrong way.......I hope I havent offended you or anything.

Why hasnt she replied??? Its been 10 minutes I thought. I didnt want to put my phone down but mum needed some help with the cupboard.

Great the first time I text my wife and I have probably messed everything up.

Aliyah POV

I jumped out of bed and went down to have some breakfast. When I got there Rabs was telling mum and Samira about Ahmeds text.

'Finally sleeping beauty has woken up. If we hadnt called her she probably wouldnt have gotten out of bed. I think maybe a special someones good morning text did the trick' Rabs said quickly hiding behind mum.

'Hahaha very funny' I said trying to throw a grape at her ' Did you tell them what you did?? I was late because I had to clear up the mess you had made' I said as I went on to tell them what she had done.

After getting a telling off from mum we sat down to a quick breakfast where we decided what what we were doing today. Before we knew it it was nearly 11 and we had to get ready. Dad and Haider had left early to sort out the last minute preparations for tomorrow.

As I reached my room I started geting ready. It was only when i was putting my things in my handbag did I notice my phone was flashing. There were 2 messages from Ahmed that I hadnt even seen.

I quickly opened them.

Ahmed: Yeah you should definitely get something to eat and go spend some time with your family. And Ive got to save my star wars collection as it is heading foe the bin bag. Allah Hafiz Me: Yeah you should definitely get something to eat and go spend some time with your family. And Ive got to save my star wars collection as it is heading for the bin bag. Allah Hafiz?

Ahmed: Oh damn it was supposed to be a smiley not a kiss. Im so sorry dont take it the wrong way.......I hope I havent offended you or anything.

I couldnt help chuckling to myself. I was about to put him out his misery but I thought my silence would be more interesting.
