Door to Jannah

Chapter 24

"Don't wonder why Allah doesn't grant all our wishes immediately, but rather give thanks that he doesn't punish us immediately for all our mistakes."

Ayesha's POV

Although I had completely forgotten about the sunnah's of Friday, I did realised how small the sunnah's were and how much the reward was for each small sunnah. Ahmad made sure that I completed each and every sunnah, he's such a good friend. He insisted me to do miswak and narrated me the entire Surah Al-Kahf with translation. It reminded me of my Dada (grandpa) whom I lost few years ago. He always used to sit with me while reciting this Surah each Friday.

After jummah (Friday) salah we were on our way to Hana's home and Ahmad was dropping me.

"There the black door." I directed him towards Hana's house.

"Call me when you need to return back home." He said with a concern in his eyes.

"I can reach home by hiring a taxi or an auto. I am not a kid anymore." I smacked at him.
Why does he behave like I am not grown up? I can handle things.

"But Ayesha it's not safe for girls travelling late at night plus I am free today." He said informing me with a smile.

"Okay if you insist I'll call and inform you to pick me up." I told him to his relief and he sighed while turning back his car.

I rang the door bell and Hana opened the greeting me with a tight hug followed by Huma Aunty.

"How did you come beta." Huma Aunty asked in concern.

"Umm my husband came to drop me aunty." I informed her.
It was so weird calling Ahmad as my husband.

"Oh my Allah why didn't you let him in? He came here for the first time." Huma Aunty gasped on my words.

"Sorry Aunty next time I'll keep that in mind." I said to her and we chit chatted about Hana's nikah.

"You have to be here as a family on Hana's nikah." Aunty ordered me and walked out of the room.

"Where's my favourite member of the family?" I asked gazing at the entire room till the end.

"Ahh don't talk about her. She's upset and isn't talking to anyone." Hana said in annoyance.

"Why? What did you do to my little princess?" I asked tensely.

Rida, the younger sister of Hana was a very jolly person. Her cheerful nature was the best thing I enjoyed while hanging out with her. She was around fourteen years of age.

"Huh what will I do to her? She is angry because we are doing the nikah as per sunnah." Hana informed me.

"Aww man. Where's the poor girl?" I asked in concern.

"Alone in her room. She doesn't want to talk to anyone." She told me and I got up to convince my little princess.

"I'll soon be back." I said with a wink and made my way to Rida's room.
U knocked at the room and there was no response.

"Knock knock, look who's here." I said while opening the door and saw Rida sitting with her teddy bear on the bed masked with a sad look on her face. As soon as I she saw me her sad face turned to a bright happy one.

"Assalamu alaikum Ayesha Appi." She greeted with a slight smile on her face.

"So why is my little princess angry?" I asked her and her and she folded her hands on her chest with her angry mood on.

"Because I want Hana aapa's wedding to be like others, not as per sunnah." She told me with a sad face.

"And may I ask why do you want that?" I asked to her in a surprised tone.
