Love In A Headscarf

Chapter 11- The Answer

Khadija's pov:

"My answer is yes!" I finally said

"Really? Are you serious?" Adeel asked

"Yes, I am" I answered with a smile

"Alhamdulillah, thank you Khadija" he said, when he took my name, it seemed as if I had stopped breathing. He made my name sound so beautiful

"You don't have to thank me!" I replied

"So we still have the meeting on Friday?" he asked

"Yes, we do"

"Okay, see you InshaAllah" and then we hung up

"I'm so happy for you" Yaqub said

"I didn't expect this from you, you to be so emotional" I said surprised

"Shut up Khajija" he teased using my nickname "And I'm off to pray bye"

"Take care" I said as he walked out of the door.

"Why did you say yes? I didn't think you would agree!" Mom said as she sat beside me

"I don't know Mom!" I answered

"What do you mean?" she questioned

"It felt right!" I said

"Then you took the right decision and by the way please start choosing dresses, we have a lot of shopping to do. We have to pick out Eid dresses and your wedding dresses, so please start looking for good dresses" she said

I nodded.

Adeel's pov:

I was so happy that she finally said yes, Alhamdulillah.

Mariam and Mom were already surfing the internet and picking out dresses while I was informing all my friends and making the preparation for the wedding cards that were going to be sent out.

I can't wait for Friday.

Friday:

I went to her house after Iftaari and Yaqub welcomed me.

"You brought a lot of stuff" and he took some of the bags from my hand "Her room is upstairs, I will be up soon with all these bags!" Yaqub said

After meeting uncle and aunty, aunty led me to Khadija's room and there she was sitting on her bed with her laptop, as she saw me, she quickly shut her laptop and said "Assalamualakium, I didn't know you were here" and her mom left us

"Walaikumasalam. How are you?" I asked

"Alhamdulillah. How about you?"

"Very good Alhamdulillah" I said with a smile

"Come have a seat " and I sat on the chair opposite to the bed as she sat on the corner of the bed.

"You look beautiful MashaAllah" I complimented

"JazakaAllah" she answered

And then Yaqub entered the room with the other bags, handed them over to me and sat on the chair beside me.

I stood up and said "Can I sit here?" I asked and she shifted so that even I can sit on the bed but we maintained distance.

"Why do you have so many shopping bags?" she asked with a confused look on her face and she looks so cute with that look
