Hadith of Al- Bukhari, the Prophet (S.A.W.) has said:

 when a husband and wife look at each other with love, Allah looks at them with mercy!

Ruqayyah 

i woke up with the alarm clock blaring and i struggled to open my eyes 

like many other girls, i am not a morning person, trust me!

i sighed and buried my head into my pillow for more sleep but unfortunately, my pillow was not at all fluffy 

i groaned and hit it and heard a deep husky voice "oww"

"What?" i muttered as i shifted and tried to set on the bed 

keyword: tried 

i realized Iqraam had a firm grip on me 

i then realized last nights events, to the date, the dance, the kiss, the fight, the kiss and the falling asleep in his arms 

i sighed and turned my head slightly to see his face 

his eyes were closed and the morning rays highlighted his sharp features, such as his jawline and perfect lips 

there was a slight scar above his right eyebrow- a very handsome feature i must say, and he had eyelashes that we die for, thick and curled slightly upwards 

his eyebrows were natural, damn if he were a girl, he would not need any make up to look perfect, he was perfect! 

i am not sure if a girl is suppose to think that while looking at her husband though 

ah who cares, hes mine! 

Alhamdulillah 

he had shaved off his beard and he was............ pretty- i would say hot but he was handsome, not that he was not hot, he was- really hot- total definition of hotness! 

oh my Allah, what is going on in my head!?!!

i shook off the thoughts and traced my thumb over his jawline

sharp and very well defined, very!

the rays of the morning sun hit his face at the angle that made him look more handsome than ever, total model like- 

his usual black hair shone reddish brown in the light and was messed up. Parts of it fell on his forehead and he looked adorable 

i brushed it away from his face and boy, his hair was soft!

i had ran my hand in his hair once or twice...... i blushed at the thought of the moment:

i began playing with his hair coz it was so soft and silky 

i giggled when i made him look like a little girl with two pony tails- although his hair was short, i managed 

i played about his hair and silently giggled, not wanting to wake him up 

he seemed peaceful in his sleep 

like he did not have any problems at all 

i sighed and inched closer to him 

thats when i realized, i was in his arms, lying on his right hand and his left arm was around my waist and right arm was on my shoulders 

his legs were entangled with mine and there was a comfortable comforter over us, like an adorable couple- 

okay my mind needs taming- no, it needs to do 'Ghusul'

i chuckled lightly at my thoughts 

i am hilarious!

"Why are you smiling like you won an Oscar?' asked Iqraam and i nodded

"I realized i am hillaariouss!" i drawled 'Hilarious' and he smirked

wait- 

Iqraam spoke?

My eyes went wide and i pulled my hand out of his hair 

"H- how long hav- have you been a-awake?" damn i stuttered 

he laughed and pulled me closer to his body, if that was possible 

his arms tightened around me and i shut my mouth 

i probably have morning breath 

he nuzzled in my hair, inhaling deeply 

"Your hair smells nice.." he whispered and i shuddered 

why was it suddenly so hot in here?

i tried to get up but he pulled me down 

"Its Sunday, everyone's probably sleeping in" he muttered closing his eyes and i blinked twice 

sleeping in? 

Zaik will be sleeping but Zahi- oh no that girl is a living hurricane!

"I don't think so- Zahi does not like sleeping late- in face she hates sleeping itself!" i said and his laughter vibrated the room 

"Wait till she reaches high school, we will see then" he muttered as he cuddled me 

his legs went over mine and he had me trapped 

i sighed and switched positions to face him, or his naked chest in my case

"I don't want to sleep" i replied and he chuckled, his chest vibrating in the process and sending butterflies in my stomach- wait- butterflies? what? 

oh my- 

"Just lie here with me.." he said as he placed his chin over my head

i sighed and we just lay there, listening to each others soft breaths (and heartbeats in my case) 

i guess he was asleep 

i leaned into his chest and my forehead touch his hard chest 

damn he worked out- he had abbs for Allah's sake!! 

i closed my eyes and just lay there in his arms...

i don't know how long we had been there but i guess it was pretty long because the sun rays were alot more in the room, meaning the sun was in the sky 

I pushed Iqraam abit and he groaned

"What..?" he whined in a hoarse voice 

and damn, i would be wrong if i said it was not so adorable!!

i chuckled and tried to sit up on the bed

"Leave me!!!" i whined and he chuckled 

there was banging on the door and i gave him a pointed look 

he raised his hand in surrender and i laughed

i stood on the bed and walked to the edge and hopped off 

yes, i know i was being a kid but it was fun since his bed was sorta high- 

"Iqraam its 10 am for Allah's sake, get up!!" I said when i saw the watch on his wall 

he sighed and set on the bed muttering things 

i guess he also hates waking up 

i walked to the door and peeked from the key hole 

"What are you doing?" yelled Iqraam laughing and i sighed 

it was Zahi 

i opened the door and she walked in, not at all happy 

i closed the door and without even speaking to me, she sprinted to the bedroom, to Iqraam 

i heard Iqraam laugh and i knew they were back in bed 

oh my- 

"Zahi, where is Zaik?" i asked her as i stood infront of the bed and she grinned

Iqraam lay on his pillow and Zahi lay in his arms as if Iqraam was her protection from everything 

"he is asleep" she replied and i sighed

Zaik!

i looked outside the balcony window and realized it was not at all sunny 

where did the rays come from? 

ooohh the little rays.... no wander it feels like it is 8am when its 10 am in reality!

"Why did you not sleep?" i asked her sitting at the edge of the bed and she grinned again 

"I was............ rweading A B C D " she said and Iqraam and I chuckled 

"So little warrior, how much do you know??" asked Iqraam turning to her and she smiled, showing her two broken teeth 

"A B C D E F H L" she said and Iqraam clapped 

'Very good, except- you missed G after F and I after H" said Iqraam and her eyes went wide and she placed a hand over her mouth 

"ooooo" she said and giggled

i smiled at them as they played about 

i realized Iqraam had also put on a tees!

i stood up and walked into the closet, taking out my clothes

"I am going to shower and when i return, you two better be up" i said and Iqraam and Zahi looked at each other and back to me 

within seconds, they burst out laughing and i growled

"I am serious!" i said as i walked towards the bathroom 

i was glad the hot water was on

i felt relief as the water ran over my body 

nothing can beat a hot shower every day!

i towel dried my hair as i walked out of the bathroom, dressed in my thigh length kurta and leggings after a 20 minute or so shower 

i smiled when i saw Iqraam and Zahi asleep, again!

shaking my head, i went back into the closet and shuffled my clothes, that still needed to be unpacked, to find my long length skirt and hijab and of course niqab 

finally i found them and stood infront of the wall mirror in his closet 

he sure knew how to keep his closet 

it was clean, meaning no dust at all 

i put moisturizer on my skin and combed my hair once i was infront of the dresser 

then, tying my usual hijab and niqab, i quietly walked outside the room, closing the door behind me, and strode downstairs to the kitchen 

imagine my surprise when i saw Shumayll and Iqra, cooking, together! 

i let out a dramatic gasp when i saw them and their heads snapped up to me 

Shumayll was at the coffee maker, making coffee, and Iqra was making something 

"As salaam!" grinned Iqra and i replied with a quick 'Was salaam"

'So whats cooking?" i asked Iqra and she sighed

"I can't cook to save my life- so i was making the simplest thing i knew, pancakes" she replied and i chuckled

"So tell me what do you two want for breakfast?" i asked them and Shumayll's face brightened 

"Yes!!! i thought i would be stuck with eating Iqra's inedible pancakes for breakfast!" he made a disgusted face and i chuckled

annnnddd Que the fight 

i sighed and stood between them 

"STOP QUARRELING!!!" I shouted and they shut up 

i nodded and took a step back

"Your room will be the last to have WiFi and tech installment!" smirked Shumayll and Iqra groaned

"I hate you" she muttered and Shumayll grinned 

"Feels mutual, Shrek, Feelings mutual!" he said and Iqra growled

"I thought Shrek was a guy?" i said and they turned to me with an annoyed expression and i held my hand up in surrender 

"Fine, fine... what do you two want for breakfast?" i asked them and they grinned

"ALOO PARATHA!!" they both yelled at the same time and i chuckled

they looked at each other and groaned

"Whats cooking?" asked Nabaahat walking into the kitchen and grinning at us 

"Food" replied Shumayll grinning and Iqra scoffed at it while Nabz smiled sweetly at him 

i fake coughed and she snapped out of her trance blushing slightly 

"I was just going to make Aloo Paratha- wanna help?" i asked her winking and she chuckled

"Sure, why not" she said as she walked into the kitchen 

she was dressed in orange dress and black leggings, her hair pulled in a ponytail 

she was pretty though- 

"Just get the flour- wait we do have shopping here, right?" i asked them and Shumayll nodded

"uncle and Namaan stocked it up yesterday afternoon" said Shumayll and i nodded

"Nabz, you can get the flour, i will get the potatoes" i said and she nodded as we set to work after washing our hands (Very important, i would say)

i put the water to boil in the heater and filled a pot with water and placed several potatoes in it 

"Put this on the stove, hun" i said giving the pot to Nabz and she nodded 

she switched on the stove and placed the pot on it 

meanwhile, we decided to make the dough 

"Lets start with the dough" i said and she nodded 

taking a huge bowl, i put 7 big cups of flour mixed it with my hands as Nabz poured water in it slowly 

"I saw your smile" i said to her mixing the dough 

"What smile?" she denied and i winked at her making her blush

"Sureee, like you don't like a guy whose surname is Edris" i whispered to her and she chuckled

i made small dough's out of it and she used the balen (Rolling pin) to make a circle out of it 

i taught her how to make a circle in a short cut way - its easy, keep your hand light and after about 3 rolls, switch the dough to the other side and be sure NOT to press down the dough 

it works

i checked the potatoes and it was done 

i switched off the stove, took the potatoes and peels them 

after washing the peeled potatoes, i placed them in a clean dish, proceeding to mash it up with a masher 

i added spices, salt and coriander leaves that were chopped, into another dish and poured the mashed potatoes in it gradually mixing it in the process

finally the filling was done and i let Nabz fill in the paratha with the paste 

soon it was done and we began putting it on the pan for it to turn to golden brown 

we piled the paratha's in a dish and covered it with the lid 

"Done!!" squealed Nabz and i chuckled slightly 

we then, cleaned up the area and by then, Ammi, abba, Namaan and Nafz were down 

everyone was here except Iqraam and the kids 

i sighed as ammi came to the kitchen 

"Shall we make tomato chutney and fried bean to go with the paratha's?" asked ammi and Nabz nodded giddy to be cooking again 

i turned and saw Shumayll watching them intensely and Iqra was beside him with a bored expression 

i chuckled and before i could say something, Abba beat me to it 

"Ruqayyah dear, where are Iqraam and the kids?" he asked looking around and i chuckled

"Abba,- is it okay. if i uh..call you-" i say and he laughed 

"Sure- i mean i am Iqraam's father after all" he winked and i chuckled

"Abba, i think they are still asleep" i said and he laughed

"Of course, wake them up! Breakfast- or Brunch is ready-" he said and i laughed 

brunch 

hahaha 

"Okay' i said and made my way to Zaik's room 

opening the door, i saw Zaik walking out of the bathroom

Thank you Allah, he was awake! 

waking Zaik up is like... yelling at a tree- no reaction will come out of it

"As salaam, mama" he grinned at me and i nodded

"Was salaam, ready for breakfast?" i asked him and he nodded

he was going to be 6 years coming year!!!! 

"You go downstairs, i will wake Iqraam and Zahi" i said and he nodded

i closed the door behind me and walked to my room 

hihi my room 

"Iqraam-" i say as i open the door and walked inside taking off my niqab 

i stared at the bedroom in disbelief 

really?

the two were still sleeping!

Iqraam had his arms around her in a protective manner as she slept soundly and he did too 

i grinned and walked to them 

i shook Iqraam and he whined 

god, how long can this guy sleep!?!

"WAKE UP!!!" I yelled and both Zahi and Iqraam shot up on the bed and groaned when they saw a grinning me 

"Come on- we need to get ready!! Breakfast or lunch is ready!!!" i said and Zahi slumped down on the bed

"I was sleeping so peacefully!" muttered Iqraam and i chuckled

"Not anymore- get up and get dressed- come on Zahi" i said pulling Zahi down the bed 

we walked to her room and i had to push her into shower 

she always likes to take a bath herself and get ready in her choice of clothes

she walked out of the shower, in her towel, all pink and flushed from the water 

i laughed at her and she grinned 

picking out something from her closet, she got dressed as i patiently waited for her 

She walked out of the closet with her towel, wearing a black dress and leggings underneath with fluffy socks

"mama, i am ready, can i pwelaease go have food?" she asked me and i nodded

"First let me tie your hair" i said and she nodded

I did a simple side braid on her brown hair and she grinned at me

"Thank you!" she kissed my cheeks and walked out of her room 

chuckling, i walked back into my room and entered without knocking 

the sight infront of me made me think twice about knocking before entering

  'mama mia' my husband was hot!
