I was at Zainab's house very early the next morning, I was an over thinker and I hadn't been able to get enough sleep over the night thinking of what might had gone wrong. I,Rahma and Soffiyah were all sitted in the living  as our eyes were fixated on Zainab to say something. I didn't like how pale she looked and that got me so worried.

     "Say something dear"I pleaded not liking the way she was looking.

    "Mum is getting worse and we don't know what might happen to her" Zainab said as a tear dropped on her cheek. I moved closer to where she was and pulled her close to me in a hug. "She is going to be fine" I assured.  "I hope so too" she said wiping the tear on her cheek. Soffiyah and  Rahma also came to joined us in the hug and we all burst out laughing. I was glad the atmosphere wasn't tensed anymore and Zainab's mood was a little bit better than how she had been when I had gotten their earlier.

    "So guys, Muhammad got me a car" I said excitedly smiling. "Oh my!"Rahma exclaimed. "That's wonderful"she added. "I am so happy for you b"Zainab smiled. "I really need to get me a Muhammad"Soffiyah joking said and we all laughed.

    "Talking about that,My parents are arranging my marriage and they already have a suitor"Rahma said "They are coming to see me later next week"she added. Rahma had always been one that didn't care so much how anything got done so far it got done. so she had  even told her parents how she wanted then to be the ones to arrange her marriage. Even though we had all been surprised about it, it was really what she wanted.

   "Wow Rahma,that's beautiful" I said happy for her. "yes dear, it is"Soffiyah added.

   "I am nervous"Rahma said "you really shouldn't be there, we will be there by your side all through the day"Zainab assured. "Yes, we won't leave your side. That's what friends are for" I said smiling as I looked into her eyes.

    "I think we all should go out, let's watch a  movie  or something. It's been a long time since we had a girl's night out you know" I said enthusiastically. It had really been a long time,with I getting married and all the school work we always have to do. It had really been long since we had one of such.

    "I won't be able to go, I am meeting up with someone"Soffiyah said standing from where she had been sitting and picking up her bag to go out. I really wanted to ask where she was going but I really didn't want us to fight like last time so I just kept quit instead.

   "Were are you going" Rahma asked curiously

"To meet a friend" she said and there I knew she was hiding something. I guess Rahma and Soffiyah also sensed that she was hiding something so they just let her be.

   "I feel Sofiyyah is hiding something" I said after she had gone. I couldn't hold it in anymore.

   "I think so too"Rahma said.

"I think it is Usman again, he called her yesterday night. I think he wants to meet up or something. I asked what it was about but she wouldn't talk."Zainab explained.

    "I hope she isn't trying to get back together with him" I said worried. I was really worried about her and the toxic relationship she was getting her self back into. She wasn't planning on letting go anytime soon and the relationship was hurting her. I really didn't want to ask her about him again. I didn't want to cause another fight between us but I also didn't want someone to keep hurting my friend. He wasn't good for her but she wasn't seeing it.

   "I hope not to"Rahma said.

"So since we all don't seem to be in the mood to go out anymore, what about we just watch Netflix and order pizza" I suggested

   "Yeah, that would be good"Rahma said. "Let me go and order the pizza" Rahma said. Rahma went in to pick her phone and I could still sense the fact that Zainab still wasn't herself. She looked better but she wasn't the jovial girl I knew.

    I sat next to her placing my hand on hers.

"You really have to believe that she is going to be   okay" I said, trying to make her feel better.

   "No one knows that really"Zainab said.

"But at least we have to believe, we have to have fate in what can happen" I said "by the way, how is Ahmed?" I asked

   "He is good, he sent his regards" Zainab said

We spent the rest of the day watching our favourite netfix series and eating ice cream and pizza. The day was going perfectly fine because Zainab's mood was much better and she laughed even more now. I missed doing this with them and I wished we could hang out even more.

I felt my phone buzz then I saw that it was a text from Muhammad.

"Hey love, I will be having a guest over this night for dinner, see you tonight" he sent.

And then I wondered who he might have been bringing over because he didn't mention anything to me when we had spoken in the afternoon or this morning. I left my friends house later in the evening in other to get home early to make dinner for Muhammad and our guest.

I set the table early, I looked around to make sure everything was perfect because the guest sounded really important apart from the fact that i could really be a perfectionist sometimes. It was a trait I had gotten from my mother while I was growing up. then I heard a knock on the door and then I figured he was around. I opened the door but I wasn't really expecting the guest he had brought.
