IRREPLACEABLE BOND ?

CHAPTER 11

AFEENA'S P.O.V:

I was woken up by a knock on the door. I opened it and saw Ukhti Aaliyah smiling at me

"Sabahul khair" I said

"Sabahul khair, how did you sleep last night?" She asked

"Great, Alhamdulillah" I replied

"That's good . Wake up that sleepy head and come have breakfast" she said and

"Okay" I said and closed the door

"Wake up!!!!!!" I screamed in Nour's ear but she didn't even budge.

I took my phone out of my purse and set an alarm for one minute from now. I increased the volume to the highest level and kept it under her pillow

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

"Ringgggggggg!!!!!!" I screamed at the same time the alarm started and boy was I mistaken. I wish I never did that because the minute I screamed, I got a hard punch in my stomach.

Gosh! Was she practicing how to get a black belt in her dream?

I fell on the floor clutching my stomach

"Oh my goodness! Afeena are you OK?" She asked as she jumped off the bed and helped me stand up

"Yeah. I'm good" I said as I sat down still clutching my stomach

She apologized once more before taking her bath. I took my bath after her when the pain subsided.

After I came out, I wore Nour's Abaya and a peach hijab. She doesn't have any niqabs. We are the same height and we have the same weight too so we usually wear each other's clothes when we feel like it. Plus, she dumped my clothes in her washing machine.

We went downstairs and found Ukthi, uncle Muhammed and Zahradeen.

You may be wondering what zahradeen is doing in their house in this early morning. Well you see, Zahradeen came from Dubai. He came back with them because his dad has a business here. His house is still on renovation. That's why he is still here

We greeted them all and had a little chat

"Afeena, its been long since I saw you. You've grown so much" uncle Muhammed said and I smiled

"Shukran Uncle" I replied

"I know right! I told her the same thing yesterday when she came" Ukthi said

"She looks like a model!" She added and we all laughed. All except Zahradeen.

I don't know what's wrong with him. One minute he will look at me and the next he will be deep in thoughts.

I just kept quiet

After we finished eating I told Ukhti and Uncle that we were going shopping and they said it was alright.

I went into the room and picked up my bag and so did Nour.

We came downstairs and sat down.

"Let's go Afeena!" Nour screamed

"Nour. Am tired!" I whined

"Okay let me go and ask Zahradeen whether he will take us" she said and went upstairs

"Okay" I said.

She came back minutes later and said that he refused and then it clicked. I didn't bring my credit card with me. So I had to go home.

"Wait. I just remembered, I don't have my credit card here. We have to go home" I said and she nodded.

We went out and I drove us to my place, we salamed into the house and found Ahmed watching TV. I told Nour to wait for me in the living room.

"Hey" I said to him

"Hi" he replied and I ran upstairs.

I looked for it everywhere and finally found it in my mirror drawer.

I was about to go out when I started feeling pressed. I went into the bathroom and unfortunately, mother nature waved at me. I am grateful to Allah that I don't have serious cramps.

I changed and rushed downstairs, I known that I am in big trouble. I told Nour to just give me 2 minutes but I spent like 10. I'm even surprised she didn't barge into the room.

I went to Tariq's room and asked him whether he was going to stay and play video games or visit his friend. He said he wants to go to his friend's because he is going to die with boredom

When I came back downstairs, I saw Nour and Ahmed looking at each other like two love birds. I cleared my throat and they both started acting awkwardly stupid. I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Bye Akhi" I said

"Bye" he replied

"Don't you want me to take you guys?" He asked

"Oh sweet brother, I know that you don't like to be disturbed on weekends. So don't worry. Stay home and rest" I said smirking and he glared at him

"Can I talk to you Afeena?" He asked still glaring at me

"Of course" I said as we went into the kitchen

"What are you doing?! Don't you need my help? I know that you are tired my favorite sister" he said stroking my arm

I raised my eyebrow at him and shook my head

"No!" I said

"C'mon! I know that the things you will buy for all of us will be heavy for you." He said and I laughed

"So now you care. Alright. Let's go" I said and he smiled widely

(like this emoji right here ➖?) lol

We went back to the living room and I kept my car keys. I am actually happy that we are going with Ahmed's car because his car is much bigger than mine. So we can buy enough and have enough space.

I dragged Nour outside and told her what happened. She laughed so much that her stomach started aching. A little bit later, Ahmed came out from the garage with his car. I sat in the front while Nour and sat behind

"Is Tariq coming?" Ahmed asked

"Yeah he is" I replied

Some few minutes later Tariq came into the car

"Assalamu Alaikum" he said as he sat down

"Wa'alaikumus salam" we all replied

"Sabahul khair Ukhti Nour, Akhee Ahmed" he said to them and they replied

"Ukhti Afeena. Why are you wearing a hijab?" He asked

It was then I noticed that I didn't change into my niqab. We were already far away from the house at that moment. So I had no other choice than to go with the hijab.

"I forgot" I simply said and I saw him through the mirror as he nodded

"Ukhti Nour when did you come back?" Tariq asked changing the topic

"4 days ago" Nour replied

"Great. How was Dubai?"

"It was great, Alhamdulillah"

"Cool"

They kept on chatting while Ahmed and I kept quiet. But I noticed Ahmed stealing glances of her when she is either laughing or just talking with Tariq.

I think some love fireworks a
