In the Quran, Allah (swt) says: "Help one another in acts of piety and righteousness. And do not assist each other in acts of sinfulness and transgression. And be aware of Allah. Verily, Allah is severe in punishment" (Quran 5:2). ******************************************
Ameera's POV- It's Monday, which means I have to talk with Nina and Aiden. I hope everything goes well. In Shaa Allah!
Right now I'm in my closet deciding outfit for today. I wanted to look good for some reason. 'You know the reason girl... you're not fooling anyone' my mind said 'whatever could that mean?' I said back 'Oh you know you want to impress Ahmed... and maybe get a reaction from him' 'WHAT?! why would I want to impress him?' 'Cause you like him silly duh' 'WHAT?! NOWAY... I mean I don't.. I don't like him' 'whatever you say'
I think I'm going crazy. Anyways back to the outfit, I think I'll put this, bleh anyways I don't have much time left. I'm getting late for university.

Ameera's outfit^
I reached university and parked my car. Another car parked near my car and I realized it was Ahmed. My heart started beating fast and I didn't know why this was happening or how I should calm my heart. I took a deep breath for 5 minutes. I heard a knock on my car window and noticed Ahmed smiling and waving at me.

Ahmed's outfit^
I got out of the car and we went together for our first class. We sat together at one table, I noticed Aiden and Nina already sitting in front.
"You ready to hear them out?" Ahmed leaned and whispered in my ear.
"Yeah...I...I'm ready" I stuttered like an idiot.
"You okay?" He asked me worriedly.
"I'm fine. Just nervous about talking to them after weeks" I said not looking at him.
"It's okay, I understand" he replied "I'm here if anything goes wrong so don't worry"
I felt really grateful to have a friend like him then I remember Taskeen's words. 'Ya Rabbi, please give me what's right for me and take away what's bad for me' I made a quick dua.
It's lunchtime now. Ahmed and I decided to have some burgers, from the same place we went to yesterday. We took his car, after reaching there we ordered. While waiting for our food we started talking.
"So Ahmed, tell me do you like any girl? like not as in crush way but like you know you would want to marry her someday?" I asked curiously.
"Um, should I be honest?" He asked, to which I nodded quickly. "Yeah, I like this one girl and I would love to marry her someday. In Shaa Allah" he said with pink cheeks.
"Aww, In Shaa Allah she and her family will agree" I teased him.
"What about you?" "Do you have someone in your mind?" He asked with hope.
"Honestly I don't know... I mean I'm not a proper Muslim yet so why would any guy want me" I chuckled awkwardly.
"Why are you thinking like that? You are trying to be a good Muslim right? Then that's all that should matter. If the guy can't see that then it's his loss and you get to know that he isn't the one for you." He explained.
I didn't know what to say cause when he said all these things my heart started beating fast so I just nodded my head at him.
We finished our food and went back to university. The rest of the day went by fast. In between classes, I noticed Nina and Aiden kept glancing at me, maybe cause they didn't see me in a hijab before.
It was the last class right now and I was preparing myself mentally to talk with Nina and Aiden. The bell rang indicating the end of the last class. I started packing my stuff, and Ahmed did the same. I turned to Ahmed and asked him to stay with me till I finish talking with both of them. He agreed.
I started looking for Nina and Aiden. Finally found them in the parking area. Ahmed called out their names and asked them to wait. We went to them and asked them to follow us towards a park near my house to which they agreed.
We reached in 20 mins. We found a park table to sit at. They started asking me how I have been doing, I asked them the same. Finally, it was time to ask them why they hid their relationship from me. Here goes nothing...
