Inaayah's P.O.V

I woke up to find Adam wrapped in a towel which means that he just took a shower.I quickly looked down after he noticed me staring at him.He approached me and broke the silence by kissing my forehead before ushering me in the bathroom.I did my morning routines,took a much needed bath and came out.

"Hey Inaayah,be quick or else we'll miss fajr prayer,"he told me while facing the floor to ceiling window.

I wore my long black blouse with black pants and topped it with black hijab and shouted "I'm done Mr".I stood behind him so that we can pray.After doing so,we read surah yasin and some other quranic verses without forgetting supplication.

"So what do you want for breakfast?"I asked him waiting for an answer.

"Anything you want to make ma'am."he replied and showed me the way to the kitchen.Wow the kitchen is awesome.It is modern,simple and the color of the furniture makes it more appealing.

I opened the cabinets and looked for ingredients to make pancakes.I took milk from the fridge and poured it in two glasses.After 15 minutes,breakfast was ready and i kept everything on the table.While eating,Adam complimented me and I couldn't help but blush.I am starting to feel comfortable around him.

"Cupcake,let's explore the house,what say?"he told me wriggling his eyebrows which made me laugh.

Oii,where did this nickname come from?Not that i don't like it but it took me by surprise.

"Yeah,let's go.By the way,when will Farida and Mary come?"I asked him.

"They will be here any minute now.Oh here they are"he told me.

"Good morning Mary.Assalamu alaikum Farida,"we both said and then i proceeded to talk:"Don't worry about breakfast,we already ate and yeah from today i'll help you guys doing chores."

They kept saying 'no we can do this dear' but with me there is no room for no and they ended up saying 'okay,as you wish dear'

We started our tour,our first destination was the backyard which is full of trees,flowers,a small pond with fish and some benches.This will be my favourite place to relax.Adam told me about the plants and his love for gardening.That is why,even on our balcony there is flower.We then went to explore the inside.

Lunch time was nearing,so i went in the kitchen and cooked sweet and sour chicken dish, chicken popcorn,salad and juice.I was done earlier with the help of Farida while Mary was cleaning the garden.They are really sweet people,they understand each other well and share their work equally.I went to take a quick shower and changed in a knee length gray blouse and white pants and took a hijab with me in case of people coming.

We ate silently.I kept the plates in the sink,washed and dried them before keeping them in their respective places.Adam went to the masjid for zohr.When he was back,we watched tv and took a nap.

When i woke up,Adam told be to be ready by 7:30.I turned on my laptop and watched some video of mufti menk.After sometime i started hearing voices from downstairs.I went there to find Ahmad,Sharfa and Karim fighting among themselves.I laughed at them and when i calmed down,i asked them:

"Assalamu alaikum,How are you guys doing?"

"Alhamdulillah,we are all fine.How are you adjusting to your new lifestyle?"Sharfa asked me.

"Its only been one day and everything is still so strange to me.I'll be needing some time and i hope Adam will make this easy for me."I replied.

Not later,Adam came with 2 bags in his hands.He kept them on the table and swept Ahmad off the ground and headed to the backyard.This scene was just so cute that i wanted to capture it.

"So what are you doing these days and how are your photography session going?"I asked Karim.

"Everything is going smoothly,Alhamdulillah.I have painted something for you big sis."He told me.

I remembered how my brother used to call me baby sis and my parents used to call me honey boo.I really miss them.I couldn't help but cry.

"See,you made her cry.What did you tell her?"Sharfa scolded Karim.

"He said nothing wrong its just i miss my brother and my parents,"I said in between cries.After calming down,i called my parents and talked to them for sometime.I really do miss them.mom shared some words of wisdom with me and i kind of understood where she is coming from.

I opened the bags that Adam brought to find snacks and the other one had a gift box.I left the other one on the couch and placed everything else on a plate and then called everyone.We gathered around the table that was when i noticed something missing.I totally forgot the juice.I think i can't live without my crazy and forgetful side.I took a carton of grape juice from the fridge and poured it in 5 glasses and kept it on the table.

The jokes that we were cracking were silly but made us laugh.Just like we were trying to sing a hindi song but we ended up mixing all the words,it was terrible.Adam is really funny and loving.

I was brought back to earth when Ahmad screamed in my ears also causing me to scream.They fell about laughing and I felt so embarrassed but still we had a good time.They took their leave and i went to get ready for our night out when Adam entered the room and gave me the bag from earlier and told me to open it.

I opened it to find a samsung galaxy s7 edge.I was shocked,i mean this is the newest phone on the market and he bought it for me.I literally jumped on him and hugged the life out of him until i was satisfied.

"I always want to see this beautiful smile on your face.I love you Inaayah Khan Ahman,"he told me while caressing my cheeks and then kissed me.

I wore a black designer abaya and topped it with a red rose colour hijab.It has simple black embroidery on the shoulder and its sleeves are large.I wore eyeliner,pink lipstick and a 4 inch black ankle heel boots.When Adam came out of the wardrobe,i couldn't take my eyes off him.He wore a casual dark blue button down shirt with black skinny jeans and black high top sneakers. (excuse my description about the clothing)

"Wow,mashaAllah,you look breathtakingly beautiful cupcake,"he complimented me.

"Thank you and you look no less bunny,"I told him.

"Bunny?who is bunny?"he asked me amuzed.

This caused my face to warm up and I replied:"You,you are bunny."

We then went out and he opened the door of the range rover for me to get in and he got on the other side and drove off to wherever we were going.I asked him and he said that it was a surprise.I let it go and hummed to the song playing.After 1 hour of driving,he told me that we reached our destination.

Standing outside,I could see the skyscrapers and the lights illuminating the city.It was a beautiful sight.

"Beautiful,isn't it?Wait,there's more for you to see."He told me.

I nodded my head and we headed towards the stairs leading to an open air terrace restaurant.Its beautiful,simple,modern and its surrounded by nature.The soft music playing in the background gives a more romantic feel to it and everywhere i look,i find couples enjoying their time.We sat by the terrace rail for a more beautiful view and not later,a waiter came and we gave our order.He brought our food and we said bismillah before digging in.Both the food and the dessert were finger-licking.

I was talking with Adam about my studies and other things after dinner.He was shocked to know that I went to the culinary school rather than attending university.I always did come first in my class and arabic was my favorite.I always loved cooking and I want to teach arabic and quran to the children.He found my love for teaching quran great and he told me that he will think about it.After sometime,we left and went to the movies before going home.
