It was Zeenat birthday, and Yusrah want to introduce a guy to her fam. So she enlist her sister help. 
Chapter 17: 
Yusrah P.O.V:
I am 24, just enter what I would like to call the “am I ready for this” moments” , let just say moving from my parents home to joburg was a big step, I will always be their baby and the spoilt brat naturally, but being independent was in my genes, so I venture forth with 50/50 mindset and what I got is what I never expected….
Imraan Ayob, or as I like to call him “ex-archnemisis” he the kind of guy who brilliant, stubborn and excitedly handsome and know it, but he doesn’t seem to notice people around him. 
His thoughts and actions are out dated sure but he get results and make us all look bad…which lead to many conflict between us. 
Ok before I get too detail let me just give a visual aid to help understand 
I been at Global Design, for a month now and was busy with one of the assignment given to me, when in walk Imraan, the handsome new dude from 5th floor, everyone was a buzz but not me… I am here for one thing to prove myself 
Imraan: do you know it take less time if you develop an system to help supply the fuel faster
Me: and why would I want to do that? 
Imraan: it would make much more sense than you manually adding it (rolling his eyes at me) 
…why does he always have to be right 
Me: ok can I help you with something? 
Imraan: no but my partner seem to think you could, any ideas when we can get the design for project H9? 
Me: it in the left drawer (pointing to the desk on the right side) 
….he just stand still not moving
Me: and? 
Imraan: I asked for it so the polite thing to do is get it for me and hand it in my hand(smirk showing of his dimples) 
Me: agh stubborn mule… You are right there you know… (I quickly March over and open the drawer, but there nothing inside…
Me: uhm
Than he walk over to the mess I call my desk and pick up a blue file…
Me: if you knew it was there all along why didn’t you just say so
Imraan: because only someone with no direction would keep her desk in such disorganized manner 
Me: ok don’t judge many creative people work in this way so excuse me for not being Mr perfect in everything (rolling my eyes at him) 
Imraan: (comes close and whisper in my ear) perfection is just one third of being a genius, just little food for thought 
And he walks off
The mouth on that idiot!!! He drive me so mad sometime, looking at my desk and suddenly feeling the need to clear up
Me: bugger off stupid head, you have got nothing to prove to that idiot 
Nadeem: which idiot? 
Me:(turn around in shock) hey! You scared me! And you know very well who I am talking about, I still don’t see why he has to be on our team! 
Nadeem chuckles 
N: becuz his a genius and we need him, he not that bad once u get to know him 
Ok back to the present, as many of you guys know, the very thin line between hate and love…. So in many ways…. I found myself falling for the last guy I would ever expect to find even remotely interesting 
How it turn into love is another day story but back to Mom birthday….
Me: yeah I’m starving! Let eat
Mom: so now that I got all my favorite people around, I got an announcement, your father and I decided we want to go for Hajj and we been saving so that we can take all of you with, but we know how difficult it with school and work so that why we decided it up to you guys if you want to come and we start making arrangements 
We all look at our parents in awe, a journey all Muslims strive to go once in a life time, so without a doubt we were eager to join…. Well aside from me, I was hoping to get my parent approval by than and be settle, this could be little complicated 
Me: uhm I will have to find out…
Mom look at me curiously and she nod, after supper we all went home and sat till wee hour of the morning, I haven’t even look at my phone once….
Me: hey….
Immy: hi where were I’m been trying get hold of you for hours?!

Me: sorry i was jus catching up with my family and lost track of time 

Immy: oh ok what did your sister say? She going to help?

Me: yeah she excited to meet you

Immy: me too, ok I’m tired Hun, gonna lala talk in morning oh and one more thing

Me: yea?

Immy: I love you 

Me: I love you too, slmz my superhero

Aliyah and Nadeem fight and while Aliyah still trying to find her place as a new adult.

Chapter 15:

Nadeem P.O.V:

Moving to South Africa…what is my parents thinking! I know they miss their family here but we had a life there! I had my friends, my car, and my freedom. I feel so restricted.

After only a month back, and I am already causing shit! I don’t mean to. I am only trying to fit in and things went sour. Luckily for me my best friend Ahmed from Aussie just moved back here two years before I did, so he knew how I felt. I was always at his place either playing pool or catching a smoke.

Today we had a hookah/braai party. Couple of buddies from campus and Abu and his friends. As I take a drag, I look up to see none other than Miss Proper and Stiff! What she doing at a collage party?

Me: Hey…what you doing here? Does your brother know?

Tazkia: I am my high school cheerleader, I’m invited everywhere, and FYI yeah he the one that drove me here!

Just then she took off her jacket, to reveal a cute shiny top. She look hot! Which is a problem! I could feel all the stares! She needed to cover up! How Abu could let her walk out looking like this!

Me: cover yourself up! How does your mom allow you to wear such tops!

Tazkia: How please! Don’t be a bore and you not my brother! So excuse me-

Me: No (grabbing her wrist) if you won’t wear your jacket! Take mines! (Shrugging off my leather jacket and cover her)

Tazkia: Uhh! You hurting me! Fine! Now leave me alone! (She walks off to talk to her friends)

After behaving like an idiot… I decided I needed something stronger….

I set up myself with a hookah and smoke away…trying to get rid of these annoying thoughts of running after that annoying brat Tazkia…why does she occupy such a huge space in my brain!

Soon the music starts and I was mellow. I started chatting up the pretty girls, one that stood out was Zayboonisa.

We had a lot in common, she is a sport fan, loves the outdoors and is well spoken, plus she is a year or two older than me. I didn’t have a problem with age…for me it just a number. So I got her number and promise to make plans to meet up soon.

 

After the party comes down, I decided to stay the night, after all there no point in leaving….

Awaking the next morning, I had the worst headaches of the century, and to make matter worse. Apparently my parents are waiting outside for me…seeing the time and realizing not only am I 8 hours late, I missed lunch at my nani’s… I am in huge trouble.

Me: (Smirk) Slmz

Mom: Don’t you act all smug! You go over to your nani’s (grandmother) and explain why her grandson not only miss lunch, but stay so late at a friends and stay over and not tell his parents anything!

Me: Mom…I’m sorry ok! I overslept the party ended late and I thought I would stay and help clean up but we-

Dad: whatever the reason is son, you should’ve called. Now go and shower and change, and go straight over to nani, she is waiting for you!

Me: but I’m hungry-

Mom: Serve you right, as soon as you shower, get to nani’s, I am sure there would be your favourite all be waiting for you.

After obeying my parents…I mean I didn’t have another choice. Arriving at my nani’s….I notice nana (grandfather) car park out….I thought he was out on business…

Me: Slmz, I’m so sorry I am late nani and nana, I was at a friend hous-

Nana: Enough talk young man, now come and eat with your nana and tell me all about campus

After chatting for hours with my grandparents, I realize how much I misses them…Nani’s delicious food and Nana endless wisdom. Both held such love in them and understanding…I miss that…because of my past I lost my parents looking at me like that. And seem like they never get what I’m going through…

Nana: You know beta, when your mom was just about your age and said she wanted to do law, I was against it, we would fight a lot, but she wouldn’t give up her dreams, so she went on and studied, and became a success, I couldn’t be prouder…but you know what you mothers greatest achievement, it isn’t her law degree or her marriage, it her babies and that mean you beta! She love you, so she will fight you! So be prepared and don’t ever disappoint her. I know she can be much, but she cares. So if you ever change your mind about your field of study, just know you have our support.

Me: Jee nana!

Afterwards I left and went to the one spot I knew I could just be alone with my thoughts….

It was a park my mom uses to bring me as a kid…I remember all the times we spent here…such good memories…

But it life and people and circumstances change…I’m grown up now and she will just have to get use to the fact.

Ping!

Zayboonisa: Hey want meet up for coffee?

Me: Yeah sure, where and when?

…………….

 

Author note:

Nadeem is a troubled young man….clearly got some issues he needs to deal with….but isn’t his grandparents so cute!

And what with this Zayboonisa…Is she a new friend or foe? Stay tuned to see!

Tazkia made chicken corn soup for Waseem

Chapter 14:

Aliyah P.O.V:

Waking up at fijr to find my doofus of my brother fall asleep on the couch. Knowing how mad mom was that he wasn’t home for supper, thought it would be best to wake him and send him to his room…I sometimes feel like such a mother hen, especially since Nadeem been acting so childish again.

Me: wake up! Nadeem! It time to go to bed

Nadeem: Ag no, leave me….it still too early…

What do I do with this idiot! After several more failed attempts, I give up…I quickly make Wuhu and read Namaaz, and go back to bed….After all I got class later.

My alarm goes off at 6:45…

Me: (yawning) I quickly shower and change into the good awful uniform, one thing I definitely miss about is the dress code in Austria.

Going down for breakfast I hear mom and Nadeem having it out…His fault I tried waking him up.

After grabbing a banana I wait for dad to finish up his coffee, he was giving me a lift today. I love going with my dad…

Dad: So how school? Made any friends?

Me: jee I am part of the book club society and plus I sometimes join up with Tazkia and her cheerleading girls.

Dad: that my baby girl! I love you, see you tonight, don’t be late!

Me: Ok see you! Love you too!

After a horror double period of maths and the endless hour of English we are finally on break, I decided to sit with Tazkia since she said she had a story to tell.

Tazkia: so I was like Sara where mom easy cook book…chicken corn…Waseem not at home….mom down to earth…

I wasn’t really following because I was thinking of how Waseem has been chatting lately….it almost like he think I’m kid! I will show him!

 

After break we endurance other endless torture in the name of education before we were free for the rest of the day, thankfully Nadeem was in time

Me: Slmz

Nadeem: hmm

Me: You still can’t be mad about mom?

Nadeem: Just mind your own business Aliyah!

It the first time he actually shouted at me, I was so shocked, hurt and angry, how dare he take out his frustration out on me, went he drop me at home, I slam the door and rush inside…Shortly I hear the car engine turn off and footstep following me

Nadeem: Aliyah wait….

Me: No…how could you shout me (almost in tears)

Nadeem: Ag, I’m sorry…I don’t know what came over me…I’m really, really sorry…do you want to go for ice cream? My treat?

Ofcouse the doofus would think Ice cream would solve everything, but I couldn’t be mad…His is my brother…so after making work a little more for it, I accept the offer and we went down to kfc and ate our heart content of ice cream.

Me: so want to explain this strange behaviour?

Nadeem: It nothing…I’m sorry Aliyah it just some stuff can’t be explain… maybe when you older you will understand…

Me: Why do you still treat me as a kid! I am almost 18! And beside it not that big secret that you hate moving back here!

Nadeem: Aliyah…

Before he could response, I say

Me: Come we can’t be late for supper…

I would never understand what happens to change my bro…but I will get to the bottom of it.

 

After reading Isha salaah, I decided to chat a bit…

Waseem: hey…You online?

Me: Yeah, gonna sleep soon…how are you?

Waseem: Much better, flu is gone at last

Me: that good…

Waseem: I think you should go to sleep kiddo….tomorrow school

See, treat me like a kid!

Me: I know when I need to sleep…and I am not a kid!

Waseem: (laughing emoji) okay what should I call you than, High Majesty?

ME: Yeah! You should consider yourself privilege to be in my presence!

Waseem: Oh I am so sorry your High Majesty, from what palace do you come from?

Me: Planet Namek (Only people who watch Dragon ball would know what I am taking about)

Waseem: Woah… wait a sec…you watch Dragonball?

Me: yeah duh! It the best show ever…if only they played it in Austria…I used to watch it with Abu and Tazkia when I used to visit…

Waseem: Never would’ve peg you for carton lover…

Me: Well you really don’t know me all that well…

I think he took about 8 or more minutes to reply by which than I was already fast asleep…

Waseem: Maybe you are right…

2 minutes later…..

Waseem: Are you really going to leave me hanging…?

Waseem: Wait…are you asleep…

Waseem: Well ok goodnight kiddo (wink face emoji)

Waseem: Sweet dreams

Waseem joins the fishing trip and Zubaida lets on why she moved back

Chapter 13:

Tazkia P.O.V:

Sunday morning….

Me: Hmm I feel like making soup….now where did mom leave that recipe book?

After searching for what felt like hours (only must have been 5 minutes), I finally decided to give up and ask Sara, our domestic worker, she more like family though, she been with us since I was a babe.

Me: Aunty Sara! I can’t find mom quick and easy recipe book?

Aunty Sara first looks at me in shock from the table where she cleaning this morning dishes, then she burst out laughing

Aunty Sara: My Tazkia want to cook, what happen, did you fail something again, it can’t be because our father day? That not for weeks!

Blushing bright red, I have occasionally cook to get out of trouble, but I do genuinely love the kitchen only to stuff my face with delicious food ofcouse….

Me: Aunty Sara! That a secret! And no I just have a sick friend who in need of some special chicken corn soup, and don’t you get any ideas, it just Waseem, the big baby….

After finding the book, Sara help me make the soup, Let just say I could burn water if I didn’t have any supervision in the kitchen….

Me: Hmmm smell divine! Waseem is one lucky dumbass! Can’t believe he got sick, he should know better…..

And now with this as my leverage, I can finally find out what bug him so much he had to cut our Skype call…he better have a good excuse ready!

I quickly message Aliyah to let her know where I was going in case she come over and didn’t find me.

Arriving outside Waseem house, the sights still give me goose bumps, it really huge….It like palace you only see in Movies…

Waseem is the only son of one of the wealthiest folks in this part of town, every Eid, they host over 50 or more people to share in their meals.

I just love his mother, although she so rich, she really down to earth, and has the most softest heart ever, refuses to let me go without me having at least one meal before going home, and Since Waseem father is a chef, who can resist the most heavenly chicken pasta he make! It too die for!

The guards know me so well, they let me in without having to sign in anymore…

Me: Hey Walter how the kids? I hear Sofia got a scholarship! Must be so proud…

Walter: Hello Miss Tazkia, oh yes very, it all thanks to boss! He is very generous.

Me: I am sure you daughter will make good use of it

After knocking for a few minutes, the door is open by the smiling face of Waso Mom

Waso Mom: Slmz Tazkia! What a lovely surprise! Come in

Me: Wslmz Aunty Khadija, I just brought some soup for the sick patient, where is he?

Aunty Khadija: Oh dear, didn’t he tell you, he felt all the sudden better and went on the fishing trip with your brother and friends….but JazakaAllah so much, I will be sure to give him the soup, he should be back later tonight, you saved me from making a late night supper for him, but please stay and have a cuppa tea with me!

I couldn’t say no, and we got talking about my university choices, she is so cool and totally understand why I wanted to study law, we were so deep in discussion I didn’t realize the time.

Me: Oh shoot, it gotten so late….I should get going, JazakaAllah for the chat and tea Aunty Khadija!

Aunty Khadija: Aw can’t I convince you to stay for supper?

Me: Awww JazakaAllah I wish I could but my mom would kill me! Another time Insha’Allah

Arriving home, just in time to see Nadeem drop off Abu

Abu: Hey what are you doing out till so late?

Me: Haha it only 7 doofus, plus I was just over at Waseem…Seem he decided to join you guys after all….

Nadeem: Yeah couldn’t help be our hero (in sarcastic tone)

Me: Uhm okay, soo-

Abu: Just go inside Tazkia….

Geez what got his pants in a twist….

Me: Slmz everyone!

Dad: Tazkia! Where were you?! And what this about chicken corn soup?

Me: Ag Aunty Sara! (I could hear her giggle from the kitchen) Sorry daddy, I was just being a good friend, this idiot( pinching Waseem who came with Abu) told me he was sick yesterday so I made soup to take for him, and You know How Aunty Khadija get, she won’t let me leave until I ate something (smiling sheepish)

Dad: Waseem did you promise my daughter something or hid something from her? (Eyeing him curiously)

Me: Dad! (Shock face) How- Ag ok I just want him to owe me (tongue emoji)

Both dad and Waseem laugh while I blush a deep red!

Waseem: (laughing) Oh man, I needed that… (Hugs me) thanks for the soup, we talk soon (winks at me) gotta hurry home before my mom send out the police to look for me, Slmz

After leaving, we all sat for supper and hear all about Abu fishing trip…Boys and their sports (rolling eyes emoji)

Author note: ‘

Ha-ha our dear Tazkia! I know for a fact I sometimes do things to gain favours….do you? Share some stories about you, a family member or friend who tried using food as a weapon to get someone to open up?

Love to hear what you guys think so far?

Abu, Nadeem and the guys go fishing, while Tazkia spend a quite weekend at home

Chapter 12:

Waseem P.O.V:

I hate being sick, especially during weekend! And to make matter worse, Abu plans a guy weekend and Obviously Nadeem would go since I said I can’t make it.

Me: I hate being sick (I scream to myself)

I decided to message Tazkia and check what she doing, we haven’t spent much time since she had return to school.

Me: whatsup girl?

Tazkia: Lol hey nothing just at home with Aliyah, aren’t you fishing with my brother and his dorky friends?

Only Kia would call her brother friends (basically the college soccer best players) dorky!

Me: Nah got the stupid flu so couldn’t go, and stop calling them that, it not like your snotty friends are any better!

Tazkia: Oh shame man, wana Skype so we can talk more about how we both shouldn’t judge each other friends.

Me: Sure, will be waiting in anticipation (tongue emoji)

While waiting I check on my other messages and see a few that’s in the group Abu made for his friends….Seem like Nadeem forgot the bait and so far they has been no action, which made me feel so much better…

Just then my Skype ringing…and Up pops the one and only Tazkia

Tazkia: Hello Doofus Dorky

Me: Ouch that hurt Missy (faking a hurt face) , I taught I grew you up better than that, (looking at her surrounding, I see Aliyah reading a book, shock at the title) and Hello Aliyah

Aliyah: Hi, Hope you feel better soon.

Tazkia: (looking at Aliyah) don’t worry, Waso is a superman, he get over it (looking back at me with a smirk)

Me: Awww thanks girls, uhm what is that you guys reading? (Seeing if I could get a reaction out of Aliyah and Tazkia) (Raising my eyebrows)

Aliyah blushes a cute pink colour on her cheeks but doesn’t reply, Couldn’t help but smile at her reaction

Tazkia: (Has no shame and react like her normal retard self) Oh nothing now stop being nosey and tell me again why you ditch your bestie? (Referring of cause to Abu)

Me: I told- (she interrupts me before I could answer)

Tazkia: Yaw but that hasn’t stop you before? So what the deal?

I couldn’t think of an answers, I mean she right I shouldn’t let one person spoil my weekend, I need to get moving!

Me: It nothing Kia, listen I got to go, bye (have to pack and let Abu know I’m joining!)

And I quickly cut before she answers and try to dig it out of me! That girl got mad skills when it comes to dragging out the truth out of me.

After packing, I call Abu and inform him I would bring the bait, so they won’t be any need to send someone out in the morning. Stop at the petrol station, filled up and stocked the necessary items including the bait that I bought earlier. And set on my way

Arriving just as they were docking and getting ready for the braai.

Me: Hey guys! I got the bait and extra chips and refreshments!

Tahir: Damn man, you are lifesaver! But aren’t you supposed to be sick?

Me: I’m fine, just felt a little drained nothing a relaxing fishing trip with the guys can’t clear!

After helping me with unloading, Abu introduces me to the rest, we set up the braai and thanks to my forward thinking we had some meats and stuff to braai since they didn’t catch anything. Nadeem got something but it was to tiny to be any use so he set it back.

After chilling we decided all to pose for a pic, to upload later….Make the ladies see what they missing according to Henry.

We laughed and joked around until one in the morning….before we settle down

 

Zubaida P.O.V:

Arriving in SA was definitely emotional, I lived here but seem like it was all a dream….I remember what I promise myself, if I ever return it would be for my kids….and How true is that.

Zuhayr and I always promise we won’t forget our roots and our traditions, but it kind of hard to do with so many differences we had to deal with living away….

But my main concern is Nadeem, arriving to find he throw a party wasn’t shocking any more, he had become so immune, he doesn’t have any hold on his behaviour. Which frighten me! I raised him to be honest and someone with dignity, at least I tried, but with so much change in our society it becomes much harder.

When Zeenat suggested moving back here, that’s our kids would help each other, like how we did when we were younger…I talk it over with Zuhayr and I guess you could say we both agreed it would be a good idea, ofcouse he(being Nadeem)didn’t like it but I was doing this for my son! Because no matter how mad I am at him, I will always love him!

After settling and getting used to the roads once again, we usually join most weekends with Zeenat and Shuaib because like Zee and I our daughters Aliyah and Tazkia get on so well!

After two weeks of torture, I finally released my kids out of being grounded, and what does Nadeem do, he agree to go fishing! I know he not much of fisherman type but it his way of getting away from us, I wasn’t too happy about it but since Abu will be there I can rest assure my son won’t do too much mischief…at least I hope so.

After dinner I decided to join my daughter in her room, we haven’t spoken much since she started school

Me: slmz darling, what you doing?

Aliyah: wslmz I’m just reading, is something the matter?

Me: No nothing, it just you and Nadeem-

Aliyah: Are worlds apart I know, Bha isn’t so bad mommy, I think this move will do us good, so don’t worry ok! (She hugs me)

Me: (teary eyes and laughing at how intuitive my daughter is) how do you know I was worrying?

Aliyah: You are a mother, it a habit…and plus Bha told me too

Nadeem and she might be different but he always confides and comfort Aliyah…My children…

That night I went back to bed knowing….My son isn’t as lost as I thought… and I trust in Allah everything will work out…Insha’Allah.

 

Author note:

Seem like our Romeo has a hidden dark past….what could our dear mother be so worried about! Stay tuned to find out….and as for our Waso, superhero or not, he made a speedy recovery, is he and Nadeem every gonna get along, only time will tell!
