The best love is the kind where each protects each other like siblings, argues like old couples, talks likes best friends and loves each other like a family!

Iqraam

I did not sleep a wink last night 

I felt the need to keep awake to make sure she was fine 

the kids crashed the guest room with Namaan and i stayed awake outside my room 

when she fainted, i had no choice but pick her in my arms and rush her to my room and ammi took over from there 

it terrified me to see her at this state 

the doctor did not give any diagnosis because there was nothing wrong with her 

she said maybe it was stress

"I think we need to postpone our nikah" i said and ammi nodded

I heard shuffling and looked up to the stairs to see Ruqayyah walking down slowly 

i stood up and walked to her quickly 

extending my hand, her eyes met mine and i nodded

her gloved hand came in mine and it was a perfect fit 

i smiled as i guided her downstairs

she set on the sofa and ammi began interrogating 

"What had happened, Ruqayyah? everything alright?" she asked and Ruqayyah nodded

"It was just.. uh.. ahem.. umm" she stuttered and looked up to me for help 

i knew something went wrong due to our close proximity so i nodded

"Ammi it was because of stress, i guess" i said and Ruqayyah nodded hastily 

i did not like lying to ammi but it is really embarrassing to know that i was close to her and she fainted 

literally embarrassing!

"Oh i hope you are okay, i mean we can postpone the nikah" said ammi but Ruqayyah shook her head

"n-no, i am fine.. its okay" she said and ammi nodded 

she clasped her hand and stood up 

"I guess i should be going, you both have to be ready by least 11:30am- we have to be at the masjid by 12:30 as Jumah starts as 12:45- the nikah is scheduled before Jumah" said ammi and we nodded

with that she walked out of the living room, leaving us alone 

"So um... i am sorry.. about yesterday- i swear if i knew-" i said and she interrupted me 

"Its fine... it was not your fault.. just.. just the past views.. thats all-" she said and i nodded

'So uh.... how about you have breakfast before getting ready?" i asked her and she shook her head
