~Book #1 of The ᴇᴛᴇʀɴᴀʟ Series - His Noor~
After Shifa's first toxic relationship in high school, She just lost every hope of thinking there isn't any good man in this world and started turning into his Almighty Allah SWT. She thinks there is no man...
"Yeah yeah so u meant the guy we are gonna encounter for any future meeting and our unknown partner is that guy?" I ask them in Abu's office, where I, Riyas, and Rehan are currently present.
A person barged into the office room, causing us to turn and look. Phew, it was Shifa, she finally came back from her work. "Asslamualaikum buzy bros!!" She greets us and we respond her altogether"Walaikumussalam not at all buzy person."
She rushes towards us, laughing excitedly and asks "Is what i heard true, shuhaib? Are you finally stepping into Abu's business as the next heir?"
I nod as Riyas says "Yeah yeah, it appears he finally came to his senses" and Rehan adds, "Alhamdulillah, we should thank God for his sudden heart change. I have no idea how much he made a fuss over about not wanting to be our company's heir".
"Haha yeah i can understand, but i should thank shuhaib though. Thankyou soooo muchhhh Shuhuu, for not dragging me into this business" That crazy kiddo gives me a wink, well i accepted this offer from my dad since Shifa doesnt like to be the heir and how she hates all those.
I know how much she enjoys being a psychologist, so i let her persue her dreams while transitioning our company to a gaming programme in which i'm interested. Abu agreed to it as long as i agree to be his heir.
"Well you're always welcome shawtyyy bishh" i reply to her as she runs after me, making me hide behind big bro and Rehan's back. Them telling her to forgive me, but they also gave me a stern look telling not to call her bish anymore.
"Okok back to business talks" Riyas continues as Shifa takes a seat nearby. "So..Yeah the guy is the same guy who came over to our home back when you were in 2nd grade i guess" Rehan says as Riyas agrees to him.
U meant that Abu's old friends son?" i ask them curiously as Riyas continues"Yes, i and Rehan have been meting up with him few times last month. Since your the heir now, your gonna meet up with him from now on".
Shifa questions "That little boy u meant? he is grown up to be an heir now?" Rehan replies "Yeah, haha what did you even meant by that little boy? i'm pretty sure he is elder than you"
Riyas continues "Yeah yeah with the height too, i agree" Making us all laugh as a scoff forming on her face. A voice raises stating "Its's almost time, get ready you all" Abu enters the office room making us stop the business talks.
"Yess, You guys really should be present there. It's a family dinner today. Yayy!!" Shifa says as she rushes out of the office room followed by others. We were all going to a restaurant today that Riyas booked for us.
I wanted to wear something simple since it was night. I go back to my room and get change to sweatpants and a gray colour hoodie. Oopz i cant find my Attar, i'm pretty sure that shawty has it. I make my way to Shifa's room.
I could hear her talking with someone on her phone, i knock on the door telling her to pass on my Attar. A sudden silent fell into the room as she opens and handing me the Attar. Bhabi was there in her room as Shifa holding her phone with her 2 besties on her screen video calling.
Shifa runs towards me ordering me to change my simple hoodie and sweatpants to something fancy. I dont know why she just orders me around. She added "Idiot, you want to be scolded by parents? Big bro has reserved a fancy restaurant not those gaming Internet Cafe, so go and get change into something nice."
Bhabi agrees to it as i make my way to my room again changing into a Black Shirt and Pant since i havent wore this often.

Everyone else was already waiting downstairs, except Shifa and me. Shifa arrived after 5 minutes, all dressed up. We all head to the car. Abu, Umma, Riyas, and Ayesha Bhabi were in one car, while Shifa, Rehan, and I were in another.
SHIFA SALEEM I returned to my room to get change followed by my bhabi, who is already dressed in a black abaya with silver jewels on it and with the matching hijab. Bhabi helped me pick up my abaya. I wore silver satin abaya that my bhabi preferred. She has good fashion sense.
I get a call as i reach for my phone. It was my besties, Nahimu and Tanu video calling. I attend the video call joining my besties, who ask me where i'm going all dressed up.
I explain everything to them, including how we planned a sudden surprise for Shuhaib for accepting Abus next heir. As they ask, "What about your other brothers? Are they not stepping into your family business?" Nahima asks.
I reply them: "Yeah they can't because Big bro Riyas has to manage his company, and same goes for Rehan who runs his own company. And you're all aware that i dont like this business thingyy. Shuhaib was our only hope because he had his own ambition to start a Gaming program. He needed to persuade Abu, while Abu was happy to let him do it as long as he was the company's heir rather than an outsider."
"Oh yeah makes sense" Nahima says as Tanu agrees to it. At the same time i could hear a knock on the door and a voice telling me to pass over the attar. "Damnn it's Shuhaib" I whisper to my besties on the phone as he opens the door.
A sudden silence fell over the room as Bhabi stood beside me as i hand over him the attar and telling him to change into something nice.
"I hope he didnt hear what we were talking about" Bhabi says as my friends inquire, "Is everything okay there?" I assure them not to worry as i say goodbye and hang up the video call.
We go downstairs as we all go to the basement, where our cars are parked. We arrive at the restaurant quickly, and Rehan and I go to the chef's kitchen to ensure everything is well prepared and ready.
We return to the family room where Abu, Umma and Bhabhi are seated, carrying a cake. Thank God Riyas bro took him to the restroom, making excuses.
We arranged everything there as the lights turned off. Shuhaib enters the room holding his phone with a flashlight on, followed by Big bro.
"SURPRISE!!!!" We surprise him congratulating, and he stands there stunned, a smile forming on his lips. "Congratulation mwone (son)" Umma congratulates him and hugs him, followed by Abu.
Shuhaib did not cut the cake because the person who is being celebrated does not cut the cake; that's what our Prophet taught us and the way our parent's rasied us.
The pastry chef had already cut the cake into pieces, and we were sharing it. Finally, we ate dinner with the entire family.
Everyone was full after dinner. Shuhaib stands up and says, "Thankyou all for this wonderful day. After becoming the official heir, i would like to give zakat to the orphanage, which i will continue it every year on this very date."
"Masha Allah, This is why i wanted to pass my company to my own bloodline." Abu responds as everyone's faces light up with a smile. Riyas tells him "Yes, we're glad. If you need any help with the business feel free to ask us."
"Sure," Shuhaib replied as he sat down in the chair, mom patting him on the face and telling him he did a good job.
"You can do it, hwaiting!!!" I say to him, and he responds "Ahh, this korean girl, well gomawo." Everyone snickers at his korean accent.
"Shuhaib, you did a great job studying the basics," I say to him laughing. He replies making me shut my mouth,"It's not like i wanted to study; it's all thanks to having a little sister who frequently speaks korean, let alone be those shibal-" I cover his mouth and give him a nervously smile.
It's true i sometimes call him shibal saekkiya when he irritates me, but i can't let him know what it actually means. But it got all ruined when he found the meaning translating it. That day he almost chased me for a half day.
"Sorry sorry i won't call you that anymore, so please can you stay quiet for a min" I whisper to him as he bites my palm and i let him go. He gave me that weird smile; i can't do anything since he has my weakness, if he tells my parents then i'm done for.
We all thank the staff for providing us with a luxurious dinner and the cake. Especially Abu, who has connection to the hotel's manager.
