Chapter 10

Zikr POV'S

Days and days went by, but I can't find a way to pursue Dia. If I send a bouquet, she will think I am stalking, If I go to talk she will ignore me.

She is very particular about keeping her distance.

Should I chat casually thanking her for taking care of mother Will it be okay?

I will just give it a go

Zikr:- Assalam Walaikum

I am the son of the lady you took care.

I am very grateful to you and your mother to take care of my mother. I hope she didn't trouble you.

I would like to invite your mom to lunch to thank you for courtesy. I hope you can accept it. By the way, my name is Zikr.

Jazak Allah

Allah hafiz

Then I just the read message over and over again in case there is an inappropriate word. Then I said Bismillah and press send.

Hope she accepts the dinner invitation.

At least, have a conversation

Next day

I was anxious the whole day. I was distracted the whole day. I was checking my phone every minute. I couldn't concentrate on my work.

I didn't get a wink of sleep

I got a message after Asr prayer

Dia:- Walaikum Assalam Mr Zikr.

I think it was great having your mother to accompany us. My mother made a new friend.

Your mom is kind and fun. I am very thankful for your invitation. Can you please inform me what time and the venue for dinner? My mom and I would be glad to have dinner with your mom and you. I hope your mom is doing fine. See you Soon Insha Allah

Allah hafiz.

I am shocked. She accepted the invitation.

Seriously It can't be happening.

So I searched for for for for for a restaurant in which there is not much crowd, not much expensive.

At last, I found a good restaurant with halal food.

I messaged Dia about the location. I invited her and her mom around 6 pm which is after Magrib on Thursday.

I am excited and nervous. I am looking forward to this dinner.
