"FAITH"

Hussain went home after Mrs. Farooq dismissed him by saying that her husband is not present at the moment and he would'nt be very happy to see him talking with his wife, he knew that the man must be very hard on his family as he knew his nature well. After coming from there he went straight to his house and sat on the couch in the living room, the living room had 4 big couches with a glass centre table along with four wooden side tables beside each couch, an olive colored carpet in the middle and fawn curtains on the two windows on each wall opposite to each other, the room also had a tall book shelf which consisted of his father's favourite novels and books. A very expensive painting was hanging on the wall infront opposite to the entrance which was given by his grandfather as a gift, as he was sitting on the couch his thoughts moved to the girl with big eyes he could'nt get her image out of his head, how she babbled infront of him and started blushing right after or how she forgot to blink her eyes these thoughts made him smile he wanted to know more about the girl but there was only one problem, Farooq Ahmed!

It was five in the evening and Hussain was sure that Farooq Ahmed would be at his shoe shop so he went his house and knocked on the door lightly and after a few seconds a girl opened the door and she was covering her face with her scarf but her eyes were visible and he saw the same beautiful pair of eyes looking at him which he recognized to be "her", "Salam, you remember me? Hussain?" He said with a smile and was responded with the door being closed on his face, his face dropped he was not expecting this kind of reaction from her but as he was leaving a small piece of paper was slid from the space present below the door, he picked it up and read it

"iam sorry! amma told me to never talk to you again or show my face, please go back if she got to know about you coming here again the result will not be good,"

Zainab.

The note ended and Hussain could not control his smile "Zainab" he tested the name on his tongue and folded the paper and left.

Zainab slid the paper through the door and removed her scarf, she was scared of someone finding out about her giving Hussain a note, her mother had already warned her about talking to the boy again, "if i see you talking to that boy again i will tell your father about it and you know what he will do to you then, do not think that i will let you do these things in my house! If anyone knocks on the door before opening it you will cover your face, you understand me?" Flashbacks of her mother's warning came back to Zainab.

Hafsa was sitting in her room reading a magzine both sisters had hid from their parents, it was a fashion magzine with picture of girls in pretty clothes and makeup to die for but they can only look at them because that's the only thing they could do without their parents knowing. Zainab came into their shared room and sat down on the bed, "do you think we will ever fall in love?" Hafsa asked  suddenly "why do you ask?" Said Zainab, "the thought just crossed my mind that will we ever be able to feel what love feels like or we will end up like amma abba!" Zainab looked up at the ceiling and said, "i believe everyone falls in love but i don't think anyone is able to fall out of it" Hafsa smiled and nodded her head and went back to flipping the pages of her magzine, "have faith in Allah and he will gift you with the feeling of Love in the most unexpected way from the most unexpected person!" Came the voice of their mother who was standing by the door, "now Hafsa make me some tea please" she said and turned around to leave and Hafsa left with her too to make tea, as she was leaving she asked Zainab if she would like some and as an answer Zainab just nodded.

Zainab thought about what her mother said and could'nt help but think that what if her mother also fell in love when she was her age and to get a answer of her question she went after her mother.
