Salman's POV 

                   I was amazed when I saw Juliet wearing the same outfit as mine. She was looking gorgeous as always. I didn't realize I was staring at her until the vehicle what we hired came and stopped in front of us. I hope no one noticed it. It wasn't too long though because just as she arrived at school the vehicle too arrived in five minutes time.

                   We were welcomed by Aliza's mom and she directed us to the couch in the living room as she went by the stairs and screamed for Aliza.

"Alizaaa... Your friends are here"

" Alright mooom. I'm coming"

                    Aliza came down within five minutes and sat with us in the couch. She was wearing a black long pinafore with white polka dots on it, beneath it was a white long sleeved t shirt and she had draped a white hijab around her head. She was looking nice too. She's always with her hijab and I've never seen her hair.

               Aliza's mom served us some mango juice and Aliza took us upstairs to her room after we have finished drinking.

               Her room was huge and beautiful. There was a mini living room in the right, with a set of sofa, stool, television and a computer table. When you walk straight from the door there is a small staircase with around five steps to walk down to the place where her bed is, so here there was her bed, a closet to the right, a dressing table with a mirror fixed to the wall in front of the bed, a beanbag to the side and a study table with the chair and the lamp. The whole room was carpeted with plain navy blue. Blue and white was the theme colour. The window was open with a navy blue and white curtain hanging. On the bed was a white bed sheet with a navy blue bed spread.

"Aliza.. I thought you are a girl and you like pink?" Said Kaym examining the room.

"Phew.. No.. I hate pink. Its too girly"

"Haha great"

"Your room is beautiful Allie" Omar said and Aliza thanked him for his comment.

               She took us to her bed and we were seated on her bed, but all of us couldn't fit in so Aliza took the chair which was a little away from the bed and Omar took a seat on the beanbag a few inches away from Aliza. It was almost 4:30 in the evening.

"Do you people remember why actually we are here" 

"We seem like we are here to spend the day, relax and have fun" 

"Okay then, Let's start"

"let's do it in the couch. It would be much easier" said Aliza and took us to the mini living room which is in her bedroom itself. 

                      Few were seated on the couch and few on the ground. All of us took out our papers, pens and other necessities to make the project but none of us had found notes. Aliza switched on her PC and started browsing for points. By the time she found a few and saved it in the PC it was almost 6:15pm.

"It's time for Maghrib (a prayer which Muslims pray at this time of the day). Let's pray and continue" said Omar to which I replied looking at Aliza "Isn't there a masjid (a place where Muslims pray; a mosque) anywhere around?" 

"Yeah, the Masjid is close by. You can go walking. As you leave my house turn left, walk straight till you take the first turn to your left again and there you would find the masjid to your right after a couple of houses"

"We too need a break" said the rest.

               Myself, Omar and Aliza left the room and headed downstairs. She told that she has to pray too. She opened the door for us and we left the house following the direction she had informed us and we found the Masjid easily.

(Usually Muslim men go to the Masjid to pray and women prays at home)




Juliet's POV

                           Aliza left us in the room and went to pray. We were just relaxing in her room. She came after around 15 minutes. As soon as she came in we heard the front doorbell ringing. We assumed that it must be Salman and Omar, we ignored because Aliza told that her mom was down and she would open the door for them. After a couple of minutes we heard Aliza's mom call her, she went by the stairs as her mom called us down for tea. 

So all of us went down and found Salman and Omar already seated on the couch and the tea was lying on the teapot with some Oreos. We had tea while having a chat with Aliza's mom for a while and afterwards she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Time flew fast and it was around 7:15 already. Both the guys went to the Masjid again to pray Isha prayer (Isha is also another prayer which Muslims pray at this time of the night). Aliza too went to the prayer room to pray. Meanwhile we were just blabbering about random stuffs.

Aliza came back after around 20 minutes and both the guys returned home 5 minutes after Aliza came. As soon as Salman came he told something to Aliza almost secretly, no one heard nor noticed it except me, but if I did something like that everyone would notice and bug me, I wonder why it is like that. Anyways I wouldn't dare to do it and I have no guts to.

             Aliza and Salman went up the stairs and I asked Allie if I can join them, with actions without uttering any word. Not that I was jealous that the both of them were going up alone, but I wanted to join them and I don't have a particular reason. I usually go with Aliza wherever she goes. 

                   She waved her arm in approval of what I asked, so I followed them upstairs and no one noticed us going.

We went to Aliza's room, and Salman was digging his bag for some reason or the other.

             Aliza started "I see something fishy" and smirked at the both of us. Salman turned at her to figure out what she told all of a sudden, I too was staring at her wondering what she was talking about.

He asked "What?"

"From the time you guys came home I noticed something but I didn't find an appropriate moment where only both of you were there to ask about it..."

             I knew what she was talking about but pretended like I don't and I'm sure he understood too and coincidentally I and Salman smiled at the same time which made her doubt even more. Before we could tell anything, she told "I know both of you wore it on purpose"

I still pretended like I didn't get what she's speaking about and asked "What do you mean? Wore what?"

"Don't act Julliii.. I know, I know.."

"Hey! Why should I act?"

              It was getting awkward. This girl is always like this, tries to bring up things which doesn't exist. As I expected she noticed it. I tried to hide my smile but was defeated and before Aliza replied Salman replied. "You mean.. Why both of us are wearing the same color?"

"Yeah?"

"It was totally a coincident.. Hope you understand.." he tried explaining 

"Who knows" and she rolled her eyes.

                I cleared my dry throat and tried "Come on Alliie.. You know that I don't even talk to him. You are my bestie and still you can't trust me huh?" I gave an innocent expression which made Salman smile wide.

               She tapped my shoulder "Of course.. I do trust you buddy... I was just kidding you know.."

             I hugged her sideways and we went back downstairs after Salman is done. It wasn't a long separation from the others, so no one bothered to ask where we had been all this while. As we went down we had our dinner and took a tour around Aliza's house.

How you guys? Am doing great and had pleasure writing this chapter for you guys.

How's the chapter? How was the coincidence and as Juliet expected Aliza reacted yeah? Poor Juliet, she's always in trouble because of Aliza :D

And what about the project? Seems like they forgot about it again and enjoying themselves like they have no responsibilities and like they are on a vacation. It's already night and they have to submit it tomorrow, will they be able to? Keep guessing..

Till we meet again!

With Love,

Blessed Muslimah
