Falling For You

Chapter 2.

Aliyah.

I was sitting on the prayer mat reading the Quran when i heard a knock on my door.

"Yes!" I shouted not wanting to leave the ayah i was in.

"Aliyah..." I didnt have to raise my head to see who it was for I knew the source of the voice.

"Mmh.."

"Help me!"

I raised my eyebrows before raising ny eyes to meet the eyes of my younger brother.

The look on his eyes was serious so I had to listen to him. Hope its gonna be worth it because I left my favourite ayah in the middle.

"Ok, tell me. What can i help you with?" I enquired.

He was fidgeting with his throbe.
This is really serious because he does that when he is nervous or scared.

"Habiby, share." I told him taking his hands and entwining with mine.

He took a long breathe then blurted out.

"I love her!" He said a bit fast with his head down.

When he noticed I was quiet, he looked up frowning.
When did my habiby grow up?

"Who is she?" I asked quietly.
After a long silence, he finally said it.

"Najma!"
"WHAT?" I shouted.

Oh..maybe it was abit loud.

"Am sorry, Najma who exactly?"
"Najma Yassir."

"You mean Qalb....i mean Mansoor's sister?"

He frowned at first but then nodded.

Wow!
Amazing.
I think we will be related to that family very soon.

"Aliyah say something."

"Ha...." I came out of my thought.
"Am sorry, what exactly can i say?"

"Just say it Ukhty...i know. Just start lecturing me on how its all haraam.."

I smiled. He knows me too well.

"Well, provided you do nothing about it..we are good. There will be no lecturing anymore, because.." I stopped midway

"Because..??." He asked.
I shook my head.

"I will tell you another time."

He nodded understanding.

"By the way, where is Amal? I didnt see her since I woke up?" I asked. I know deep down i just wanted to change the topic.

"You dont know?" He asked.
"Know what? Is she sick?" I asked worriedly.

"Mama caned her yesterday. So she slept in my room and I had to sleep on the floor. She was really crying."

"What did she do?"
"I dont know. I tried asking her but the she didnt tell me anything."

"Let me go and ask mom." I stood up making my way to the door when Abdulrahman stopped me. "Please dont tell anyone about her."

"Dont worry." I smiled reassuringly.

I went down the stairs to my mom's room because I know, she must be reading Quran at this time. When i reached at the door, I knocked where after being ushered in, made my way to her.

"Assalam Alaikum hoyo." I sat down greeting her and taking her hand kissing it.

"Waaleikum salam macantoy."
"Hoyo, what happened with Amal? Why didnt she sleep with me yesterday but rather slept with Abdulrahman??" I asked.

"Wallah that girl has started changing!" Hoyo said.

"How exactly?"

"Yesterday when she came home, I asked her to help me with the dishes. She started mumbling some things I couldnt understand since she was speaking in English. When i asked what she was saying, she said nothing. I let it go but then after washing the dishes, she started keeping them recklessly on the rack. She then broke two of my plates. When i shouted at her for breaking the plates, she started answering me back. And on top of that instead of taking a broom and sweeping it off to avoid accident, she started complaining. So i did what i do to my children. That girl has become too much." She stated.

She did not dare shout at hoyo. How dare she?

"Hoyo, let me handle it in my way."
"Okay, but please handle her well, dont scream at her or beat her. Or else you will get it from me."

I chucked.

"Dont worry hoyo. I wont beat your baby, but she has to know who she is messing with."

She frowned in anger.
"Chill ma, am not going to inflict any harm on her." I said before laughing and heading out of the door.

While I was going to my room, i passed by Abdul's room and peeped in. There she was, comfortably sitting on the bed, using Abdul's phone who was sleeping on the floor.

"Meet me in the room in two minutes!" I said a bit harshly.

•••••••••

While I was waiting for her to come, I was scrolling through Instagram when i landed at his post. This was what he wrote; " I believe you are the greatest thing that happened to me. If He wills, insha'Allah you will be my companion in this life and hereafter....

Before I could complete reading, Amal came into the room.

"Come and sit..." I said putting my phone beside.

"Amal, am your sister right? The only elder sister you will ever have. So tell me, the truth. Do you love hoyo?"

She nodded.

"Do you respect her?" She nodded.
"If so, why are you disrespecting her?"

"How did I disrespect her?"
"Why did you speak in English when you know very well that Hoyo doesnt understand English?"

She kept quiet.

I continued..
"Do you even have any idea how she felt when you spoke in a language she doesnt understand?"

"Amal, listen. Do not ever try to use the sharpness of your tongue on the one who taught you how to talk!"

For the next 15 minutes, We had a long talk.

After we were done, she had tears in her eyes.
"Better go and apologise to her Amal."

She nodded and made her way to mom.

I watched them hugging each other so tightly. My eyes had their own unshed tears. Before I turned away from them, I saw hoyo mouthing a "Thank you."

I smiled at her and gave her a flying kiss from where i was and headed back to my room.
