Iqraam 

I stood infront of the huge house and grinned

the outside was well kept, there were flowers and different kinds of green plants grown near the fences and the pathway was marble 

it was pretty nice

"If its finalized, we will ask Mr. Yayah of Edris Techs to install the tech in here-" said Malia, the agent 

I nodded smiling slightly 

"No need, for Shumayll is here!" said Shumayll in a dramatic way and Malia was startled 

"Oh my-" she said as she stood straight and smiled at Shumayll "-Mr. Edris.." 

"Oh As salaam- don't bother calling the tech guys, i will do the whole wiring and all myself-" said Shumayll very professionally and Malia nodded

"Okayy shall we head in?" asked abba and i turned about searching for my wife 

wife... hmmm 

I spotted her with ammi and Nabz 

Nafaasat was too lazy to come so she stayed home with Namaan and since Iqra had assignments to finish, she stayed back too 

"Yeah..." i said and followed them inside as the ladies made their way inside too 

they walked beside us and i slowed my pace until i was the last one 

everyone was in their conversation when i pulled Ruqayyah back to me 

she let out a small gasp and glared at me 

i grinned at her 

"Leave me, they will see!" she muttered and i winked 

"As you wish!" i said and let her go 

she set on the floor with a thud 

i turned around and gasped (fake) 

"Are you okay?" i asked her and she glared at me more 

I held my hand out and she gladly took it 

pulling her up on her feet, we walked side by side inside the rest of the house 

it was very pretty 

"How many rooms?" asked abba and Malia grinned

"It has a total of 13 rooms, excluding the guest rooms-" replied Malia checking off something from the checklist 

"Wow-" muttered Ruqayyah and i grinned

'So do we like it?" i asked them and Shumayll grinned 

"I also have a room here!!!!!!!!" he said excitedly and everyone laughed 

"I sent the kids back home, the photos and they seem.... impressed" said abba and i nodded

turning to Malia, i grinned

"May we speak with the owner?" i asked her and she nodded smiling 

"He lives in Cape Town......" she said and i nodded

"Cool, contact him, we want to buy it today itself-" i said and she nodded pushing buttons on her phone 

All too soon she began chatting animatedly

she grinned at the end of the phone call

"Great news, its done- a skype call about-" her iPad rang and she chuckled "-Now" 

she answered and after some chats handed it to me 

"Hello Mr. Ibrahim-" the old man smiled at me and i returned the gesture 

"So i heard you wanted to buy zee houze?" he asked in his accent 

Italian? 

i am not sure 

"Yeah- so how much?" i asked him and he chuckled

"Eager, aren't we?" he grinned and i chuckled

"Sorta....... so whats the price?" i asked him and he nodded

"Its quite alot but that's because of its size and furnishing and its own beauty-" he explained and i nodded

"Sure thing" i said and he nodded

"its 500, 000 US dollars-" he said and i smirked

profit much 

"Deal" i replied and everyones mouth hung open 

thats like..... 760, 000 SA Rand 

"Deal- cheque on the number on your screen now- the house is yours- please pick up the legal papers from Miss. Malia and i nodded

"Thank you Mr....?" i said and he chuckled

'Oh right- Morte- James La' Morte" he said and i nodded

"thank you again Mr. Morte" i said and e nodded

"Goodbye Mr. Ibrahim" he said before he hung up 

i gave the iPad back to Malia and turned to my family 

'House is ours!" i said and everyone went silent until ammi flared up 

'You spent HOW MUCH on this house!?!" she asked me and i rubbed my neck 

"Ammi, its barely any part of my income- can we please get over it?" i asked her and she shook her head

"No nada- you just don't do such things- Iqraam, why so much? could you at least be an indian- DESI guy and ask for a bargain? really?" she said and i chuckled 

desi bargains never end up good- dhoombros gave that one up 

hey DB forever okay! 

maybe not- i used to watch it with Iqra 

"Ammiii" i whined and she shook her head

"I think she is right-" said abba and then quickly decided to change it to "She is right!" when he got 'the glare' from ammi 

i chuckled and shook my head

"Sorry people, i am paying- and that is final!" i said in a firm tone and they chuckled

i turned around and saw Ruqayyah and Shumayll chatting animatedly 

"Shall we?" i said to them and they nodded

"Thats my wife you talking to" i said to Shumayll as i stood beside Ruqayyah and smirked

he chuckled and held his hands up 

"Naahh i love her as a sister- chill man- plus i was giving her tips" he winked and i shook my head

"No thank you- she does not need it" i said and he laughed

"No not the normal tip- tips on how to survive with Iqraam Ibrahim" he said the title holding his hands up in a grand manner

I laughed

"I bet she knows how to survi-" i say and Ruqayyah cuts my sentence

"Guys leave it-" she said and Shumayll and I shut up 

with that she walked towards ammi who was heading outside

we buckled up in the SUV 

ammi and abba had shopping to do before heading home so Shumayll and Nabz tagged along with us

"Shumayll take the front seat" said Ruqayyah getting into the back seat and Shumayll grinned

I started the ignition and drove out of the place 

we needed to move in ASAP 

"Mom and abba will not get off my back about getting married!!" said Shumayll out of no where, throwing his hand up in despair 

I laughed and so did Ruqayyah 

"Then get married!" said Ruqayyah and i winked at her 

"She's right- get married!" i said and Shumayll glared at me 

"I am 23 for Allah 'key' sake!" he said glaring and began to shuffle around with the radio 

he played some song, "Tumhe Apna Banane Ka" and my eyes shot up the rear view mirror and caught Ruqayyah 

she looked away after a brief moment 

i grinned 

of course i wanted her to be mine for a long time

"23 and don't want to get married? which reminds me- Iqra also needs a good guy- and so does Nabz" i said smirking at Nabaahat who was silent the whole conversation

she blushed 

"Iqraam, my brother, my love!!" said Shumayll and i turned to him 

he smiled sweetly at me 

"What do you want?" i asked him and he grinned

"You know me all too well" he said and i concentrated on the road 

"What is it?" i asked him impatiently 

He chuckled

"Can you tell mother i am not ready for marriage? tell her i am immature or something!!" he said and i laughed

"So you gonna do it?" he asked me hopefully 

i stopped laughing and very sarcastically said 'No' 

he groaned 

"No girl is my match!" he said determinedly and i laughed 

"One day you will meet that girl who will get your brain a mess and your heart in a marathon" i said shaking my head as i remembered my moments

"Ha! experience talks!" he smirked and i chuckled

"Sure- so Nabz- anyone in mind??" i asked her as i drove into the Durban city  

"N-no one" she replied and i raised an eyebrow 

'You know you can tell me about him- who knows maybe we can get you married to him!" i smirked and she laughed

"He doesn't exist-" she said and i knew it was a lie 

it was clearly shown

"thats a complete utter lie! i can't believe you think we are stupid! chill tell us" said Shumayll putting his shades on 

Nabz chuckled and stared at Shumayll with something in her eyes

i could see it from my peripheral vision 

i slowed down the SUV due to traffic and came to a stop at the red light 

i stared at Nabz in the rear view mirror and she seemed lost 

something is up 

my gaze shifted to my wife and i caught her staring 

smirking, i put my shades on and looked back on the road 

Within 10 minutes we were home 

and upon announcing the news, Iqra, Namaan and Nafz decided they wanted to move as soon as possible- today 

'But we have not packed yet!" Protested ammi and they smirked

"Abba, bhai and Namaan bayah- will go for Asr prayers- we will pack by Magrib and move- simple!" explained Nafz and she did have a point 

i checked my watch and it was 4 in the afternoon 

"Its actually.." i said looking up to them "-a great idea" 

Ammi groaned and Abba chuckled 

"Its final- we moving today" said abba and we (all siblings) cheered and ammi groaned

"Fine but let me tell you all- the rooms may not be air conditioned and may not be clean and may no-" said ammi and Nafz cut her mid sentence

"Its okay Badi ammi- we will manage- as long as we get out of this place!" said Nafz and i laughed 

I walked upstairs and Ruqayyah followed me 

sitting down on the couch, i stared as she took off her niqab and set infront of me 

"Are you okay?" she asked me gently and i smiled

"never been better..." i replied softly gazing into her eyes

she was beautiful 

"You are beautiful..... masha Allah" i said and she blushed

"Hmm i think we need to shower and change- " she said and stood up 

"Wanna go first?" she asked me smirking and i chuckled

"You should know teasing your husband is a pretty bad thing..." i said as i pulled her close to me 

she gasped at my touch and i smiled 

"I won't hurt you... i promise" i said as i leaned into her 

she leaned back and i laughed

"Really? i thought you knew i always kiss your forehead!" i said and she blushed again 

"I- Its jus-just that i am not okay with it-... i was.... i am not used to it.... the touches and all.... i umm... had no one to touch me.... so umm yah... sorry" she said and i sighed

hugging her close to my chest, my heartbeat accelerated and i heaved a deep breath 

"Don't be sorry about it... you will get used to it.... its new to me too.... we will go through this together" i whispered and she nodded resting her head on my chest

"I think i am falling for you..." she whispered 

and that was when i felt my heartbeat stop
