TAQDEER(meant to be)

CHAPTER ONE

Nabeelah's POV
Location:Nasarawa state, lafia
Time:7:pm(after maghrib sallah)
A small ghetto
15 year old me

Reciting the quran and memorizing my hadda surah Yusuf to be precise and I love it in my small room where I share with my 12 year old sister naynah whom I love to call nayns,we just got back from islamiyya an hour ago
Nabeelah!
I heard ummah called from outside
Ummah here I am I said after closing my quran and went to meet her in the kitchen,please get me salt from mallam musa's kiosk, the beans dumplings (dan wake) will be done soon and it wouldn't taste nice without salt,ummah said handing me a #20 naira note,I collected it and rushed out of the kitchen when I bumped into Abba in the lobby, where are you rushing to nabeelah? He asked
Ummah send me on an errand to get salt for her from mallam musa kiosk
"Your mom wouldn't listen to me no matter how much I scold her from sending you girls out late"
He said and walk into the house while I went to get her the salt

Few minutes later I was returning from ummah's errand
And rain was slightly dropping its droplets hurrying to get back home before I get wet I bumped into him.....
in a narrow backstreet
He's handsome
Tall, fair and bearded
His blue orbs perfectly fitting in his loop with his long thick lashes and brow,his jaw perfectly complimenting his face and looks... Ya Allah he's so handsome!
Shame on you nabeelah!
My subconscious said to me
Where is your Islamic morals?
Weren't you suppose to lower your gaze while confronting a non mahram?
Astagfirullah..
I muttered beneath my breath
His eyes seems so weary and horrible, in need,I became scared and muttered some duas under my breath for me to be save with just 15year old me and a guy Allah knows who in a narrow backstreet....ya Allah, he's so drunk and he smells so awful...
With a tick tick
I was knocked down by him within a sec like a lightening
Compress
Retrenched
And abridge
Lights were out
My door was smashed
Everything becomes blur
I've no or little strenght in me
And everything becomes dark.....
FLASHBACK ENDS
Nabeelah!
I heard ummah calls me from outside snapping me out of my thoughts, my memories,my flashback
"Nabeelah what on earth are you doing in there, I've been calling for a billionth times but no response making me appear like a mad woman to the neighbourhood,why not come out here and help me with the cooking instead of dwelling into those books of yours"
"Am coming ummah, right away,just few more minutes, I said and adjusted my scarf to go help ummah in the kitcehn"
"Ummah today I will be going to the diner later because I've received an email saying I was accepted and my shift starts tonight by 7pm"I told ummah as I was doing the dishes
"Allah ya taimaka, but you know I hate everything that has to do with late hours, why wouldn't the diner give you a morning or afternoon shift? "
"Don't worry ummah,nothing bad will happen and if it does,then it was already my taqdeer"
"Allah yayi maki albarka,and make sure you be a good garcon"ummah said with a smile
"Amin ummah In shaa Allah"I said as I'm done doing the dishes and got up to leave for my room before I turned to ask
"Ummah I haven't seen nainah, did you send her or anything? "
"she's out with her friend Nadia,you know her wedding is coming up soon so they spent half the time together"
"Okay"I said and leave...
