I was just chilling in the cold wind while I watch the birds fly around during the evening sun while I stay thinking of what would happen next.

It always gave me happiness to stay away from the human world and be by myself surrounded by the amazing other creations of Allah and getting into deep thought while I lay on my bench in the home back yard.

I lay there for so long that I didn't realize the time pass by. It gave me much calmness to sit there and plan my following day.

It was a daily routine in my daily activities. I was in deep thoughts about my life. Whom would I marry? How would she be? Good or bad? Quiet or noisy? Fat or thin? Fair or dark? I had no idea.

I always expected a wife whose very good, a little noisy, neither too fat nor too thin and the colour didnt bother me at all because the fairest of us all in the eyes of Allah is the ones whose heart is pure.

All these qualities had belonged to one person who didn't have at least a teeny feeling about me. And to make things worse she was to be my brothers wife who would be my future sister-in-law.

It made me so hurt to think about it. I knew I didn't get her because that's what Allah had planned for me. To think it this way it made me chill for a while.

My only dua was to have a wife who'll be alot similar to Asma. Maybe I wasn't lucky enough to marry her because Allah might have planned a better person for me. I cheered up myself with my own second thoughts. I say Alhamdulillah as I wipe away a tear that had fallen unknowingly.

"Assalamu alaikum bro!", Shabeer sits next to me as he hits hard on my thighs. "Ouch Walaikum salaam warahmathullahi wabarakathuhu Shabeer the killer", I say as I wink at him and wipe away the tear that had fallen.

"Wait wait.. don't tell me that I just saw my bro crying?", Shabeer face palms himself as he continues. "Oh Allah did you seriously cry?", Shabeer asks with much concern this time because he realized that I was very serious at that point.

I turn away due to embarrasment overflowing me as I had never cried before my brother. I wipe away my tears and reply as I turn, "No are you crazy?".

"Oh c'mon bro.. don't lie to me! We've lived under the same roof for over 20 years and you still think I don't know you? Well if you do think that way, then you're wrong because I know you better than you yourself! ", Shabeer says as he put his collars up to show his victory.

I knew it was the best time to change the subject so I decided to carry on a fight and so I said, "He he realy! I know myself and yourself better k?".

"Oh man it's no more old times.. I know you're trying to change the subject but remeber Saajid you fail this time! And I know you better! Anyways tell me what's up?", he asked with lot of curiosity and care mixed in his eyes.

I knew I had to tell him some day because I never could keep things to myself. I knew this would be the right time for it as I had no way of escape.

So I began, "Well the thing is Shabeer. I like someone!".

"Oh great.. are you serious? Alhamdulillah! Well Congratulations bro.. come let's go tell mama this instant because she will be so happy?", Shabeer says as he pulls my hand and make me almost topple off the bench.

"Wait!", I say to him. He then turns and faces me as I sit back in the right position before I talk again. "I didn't finish yet.. well the thing is do you know who I like?", I ask him.

He hits his forhead as he says, "Ah yes! Well sorry I was just so excited I forgot to ask that first.. anyways who is the lucky lady?".

At that moment I get a little tensed, then as I calm myself I say, "I'm sorry if you get hurt about what I say but I think I need to say it..".

"Hey don't give me those creeps, tell me fast who is it?", Shabeer asks with excitement in his voice.

"Umm it's Asma!", I say and I look at him as he is in shock and before he could say anything I continue. "I know, I know I'm wrong! But yeah you forced me to say it so I spit it out.. now let's stop from there okay? Let's just forget it okay? If I hurt you and made you feel bad or did anything else as well then I'm really..", before I could continue anymore he spoke.

"Woah woah habibi! Calm down! Why are you in a hurry. Were you afraid that I was shocked or were you afraid that I'm going to kill you?", he laughs and continues. "Well Saajid. This is the thing, I came here to say you something and that is.. well don't be over happy okay?". He winked at me.

I was shocked for some time. What was he going to say that would make me happy? Why did he want to do it when I made him upset by what I said? Many things were running in my head that moment.

"I went out with Asma yesterday. We had spoken for some time and then we both planned that we don't suit each other and therefore we are not to be married. And I spoke to maa and baba about it already last night. So anyways I would like to say that you may have a chance with her! Try Saajid you may fly", he winks at me.

I could feel butterflies flying around me. The feeling I had couldn't be told out. I could see Asma everytime I close my eyes.

Each time I saw her I reminded myself. 'Saajid it's haraam Asthagfirullah!'.

Finally after the long lasting shock I replied to him. "Are you serious? Oh my Allah I can't believe this.. but why? Anyways thanx bro..", I say as I side hug him.

"Hehe well I like someone else and to your second surprise for the day it's non other than Asma's sister Asna!", Shabeer said with so much of feelings while he spoke.

"Woah that'd be awesome! Sister and sister, brother and brother! We would have a lovely time in our wives house as well together! And they would have a lovely time in our house as well! And we can..", before I could continue any further Shabeer stopped me.

"Woahhh boy! Calm down we aren't engaged yet bro, first we need to talk to ma and baba Saajid!", Shabeer says.

I pull his hands to make him stand and as I get up as well I say, "yeah c'mon let's talk to them now!".

"Yeah okay let's go", he says as he realizes my curiosity and we head to their room.
