☆the Saturdays

JAWAHIR'S P. O. V,
Oum and zeemus company had really made my day fun.
Zeemus had left earlier in the day,
I and Oum are all dressed up awaiting the special diner or so I thought.
Get the cell phone" yelled mum from across the hallway ,
"On it " I yelled back.
"Please go get the phone Oum, " I sulk.
"Oh , you have started, bossing me around huh¿."
Whined Oum.
"Please " I said protruding my lips.,
"Ok , Ok I will only because Saif is coming".
"All the same" I mutter, as Oum winced away.
"It's dad jabir on the phone" yelled Oum.
I winced towards her as she handed the receiver over to me.
"Ok, see you soon I said sadly before hanging over.
What did he say, why are you sad "asked Oum.

"I remain mute but drag her by her shirt across the hallway towards mum's room. Let go off me " said Oum.
I did as told without hesitation.
Mum , dad won't make it to the diner I whined,
He's totally going to miss Saif's arrival I cried now placing my head on mum's laps.
"You're such a baby , i will be waiting for you downstairs, meet me there when you grow up" said oum poking me before existing the room.
"Mum", I mutter.
Don't worry my dear, it's Ok.
"Dad must've been engaged in his work, but he will meet saif eventually and he will like him". Said mum, running her fingers inside my head.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

His here squirms Oum running towards us.
"Ok go get the door weirdo" I said calmly.
"No you do", said Oum as she made her way towards mum.
Ok , fine.
"Saif" I muttered opening the door.
I couldn't believe today after 3 years of pleading I have finally welcomed saif to my humble home.
I stood there just smiling like a jerk, gazing at the love of my life, lost in his presence.
Jawahir , should I come in ask saif ,
That's when I realise I stood there without saying anything.
"Saif", I hugged him ignoring what he said earlier .
"Come in", I dragged him.
"Come meet everyone" i said amidst the excitement building up inside me,
I took saif to the living room as , Oum walked in with a glass of water.
"Kai ne agidan mu yau (it's you, in our house today.) Indeed it will rain gold " Oum tease, while dropping the glass of water on the stool right next to saif.
Saif stood to hug Oum, but she moved away , smiling.
I rolled my eyes at them, knowing how Oum behaves towards any physical contact with the boys.
Saif should have known better.
Oum stayed a while before returning back to the kitchen..
I chatted with saif for some time before mum , walked in.
"Evening mum," said saif bending down as a sign of respect .
"Evening my child " replied mum.
Do I know you , somewhere ask mum.
I felt my heart pound, where could mum have possibly know him from, I thought.
Saif turned , giving mum his awkward smile.
"Are you not miss.Ashraff's son "asked mum again.
Wow mum, miss. Ashraff,
How did she know her., oh wow.
Mum,
Yes,
Both I and saif talked at the same time.
I giggled,
Before asking mum,
"Mum where did you know her from" I asked.
"I and miss.Ashraff go way back".

"We met a year ago in a boutique and our friendship hit the peek since then,
I had visited her quite a number of times, but never being furtunate enough to meet saif or her husband
But I did meet his pictures plastered around the house ,his indeed a mummy's boy" teased mum giggling on the word mummy's boy..

:My dad is always away , for business trip" explain saif.
"Mine also " I muttered.
"How's your mum, " asked mum.
Getting all familiar with saif
"She's fine, Alhamdullih " answered saif.

"Diner is set "announced Oum, disappearing into the hallway.

We all dash to the the dinner hall.
Along with our conversations.

"Ashraff told me you moved a couple years along ago, how long?"
4"years back" answered saif.
Honestly mum have started to act like a weird mall cop.

"My dad works mostly over here and we stayed In 'manunfashi', so mum decided we move back here, when I secured admission in kasu." Said Saif.

"And how did you like it here " asked oum, before shoving some taco into her big mouth.

"It's amazing, everything about this state is interesting and meeting jawahir is the highlights of it all, " said Saif squeezing my hands underneath the table.

I blushed feeling excited to have him by my side, proud to be known as his.

Mum kept interrogating saif till she's satisfied and saif kept making everyone like him.

"My baby doesn't have to. Change her last name" teased mum.
"I covered my face with my both hands getting shy".
True enough both I and saif bare the same last name, jabir.
"No, I should be the one marrying saif since she's shy, i won't mine changing my name" said Oum teasing me.
I didn't even realised when I removed my hands from my face and gave her a death glare.
An even better Match said mum, siding with Oum kulthum.
My face changed from bright to hot red, giving how jealous I had suddenly become.

Everyone began to giggle at the table as if something fun has just been said.
"Mum", I whine.
"Oh my child , no one can ever replace you" said mum.
I smiled sheepishly.
The diner went smoothly, we chatted like family and later had desert.
I and saif left mum and oum inside the house as we went outside to the yard where we gaze at the stars. The night was simply perfect,
The night was still young and the pair of us were so much inlove.
Everything has finally fallen into place , the sooner dad gets back, the sooner bukar's proposal is rejected and the happier I'll be knowing Saif will be mine , mine alone....
I blush at my amazing thought, filling my fingers with his.
You complete me said Saif raising our hands entangled with each other's.,
That moment I felt all my dreams come true, and when he peck my hand , I melted in his touch....

I love you jawahir said Saif, leaning closer..
I love you too I replied shyly.
Saif was now so close that I could feel his uneven breath on my skin, my cheeks were now crimson red due to his effect on me.
He leans forward to make his move,
His lips where barely an inch away from mine,
He tilted my head , and came close...
That's when we heard mum's voice coming from the lounge,
"It's pass bedtime now, say goodnight to your boyfriend " yelled mum....
AstagfiruAllah, I gasp releasing my uneven breath on realisation of what would have happened.
Alhamdulillah, mum talked at the right time.
