"Hey bro, Assalamu alaikum! Would you come with me to the mall?", Shabeer says as he enters my room.

"Yeah sure, but why anything special?", I ask while still not moving my eyes away from my books.

"Yeah.. umm I wanted to get something for Asna from the mall because I got a call from them a little while ago", he says while his face turns red.

I was just continuing my work while I spoke to him and then immediately turned once I realized what actually had happened, "Wait.. are you serious? Did she give you her approval?"

"Umm yes they all did, I'm so happy and so mama and baba decided to leave to their place for dinner tonight so that I could talk to her", he says smiling widely.

I was so happy for my brother because this was one of his biggest goals. "I'm so happy for you!", I say as I hug him tight.

"I'm so happy for myself too Saajid!", Shabeer says winking as we finally leave each others embrace.

"And yes before it's too late come let's go to the mall", I say arranging my room a little bit before we could leave. "Ah yes let's make a move", Shabeer says as he reaches for my car keys over the cupboard.

"Why not your car bro", I ask him. "Oh.. uh actually I had to put it in the garage", Shabeer says while we walk out of the room.

"SubhanAllah! What happened to it bro?", I ask shocked as Shabeer was a very careful person and I never expected his car to get damaged unlike mine.

"Oh I met a small accident, I banged onto a tree today after work", he says as he takes a seat in the driver's seat. "But how, you're so careful! This can't happen!", I say staring at him astonished.

"No Saajid it's not a great big damage.. I got a call while in the vehicle from Asna's baba and when they gave the approval, I was in utter shock, I had no control over the car that I banged onto the tree", he says blushing.

"Ohhh my brother seems already lost in his own world. Oh God don't do this to him so soon!", I say dramatically. "No making fun of your big bro Saajid!",he says winking.

"Look forward and drive bro, don't wont my car bang too soon as well, I have more time", I say. "Ya Allah, Saajid for God's sake would you stop it", Shabeer says finally unable to bare it anymore.

The rest of the journey was quiet until we finally reached our destination, the mall!

"I'll go in, you park the car and meet me at Starbucks", I say closing the door of the car and moving in to the mall as Shabeer goes in to the parking area.

I'm so happy for him. I've never seen his face lit up for so long and now it is. May he be happy always and may this happiness in his face never fade away in shaa Allah. I say in my mind as I walk through the Starbucks entrance.

I stay at Starbucks drumming my fingers on the table that the waiter had led me to, till Shabeer arrives and finally here he comes.

"Bro did you just forget how to walk?", I ask Shabeer. "What are you talking Saajid?, why would I forget how to walk?", Shabeer asks me with a confused look.

"I told you that cuz I've been waiting for you since so long and so I thought you might have forgotten how to walk", I say in a teasing tone.

"C'mon Saajid ofcourse that wasn't the reason.. I had left my wallet in the car and so I had to go back to get it that is why it took me sometime", Shabeer replies to me and continues "okay anyways let's go!", and Shabeer turns to leave.

"Where to?", I ask him. He turns, stares at me and then replies to me,"Ofcourse to the mall where else?".

"What about the coffee?", I ask a tad bit sad as I really wanted to have a cup of coffee right now. "Bro I thought we had come shopping! Did you just forget?", Shabeer says.

"I thought we are going to have a coffee as well", I say in a worried tone. "Don't be a baby Saajid we can get the coffee once we are done with the shopping. Okay?", Shabeer finally comes to a deal.

And then we leave Starbucks as everyone stares at us while the waiter who led me to the table frowns at me. I make a quick turn and look the other way.

"See Shabeer everyone's looking at us, you cannot embarass me any better bro", I say annoyed at him but he doesn't reply as he was too excited about buying something for Asna.

Finally the shopping was done and he finally selected a gift worthy of shopping for two hours. We ended at Starbucks as Shabeer had promised me. We had gone to the same Starbucks that we had left before without the coffee because this was the one shop that I frequently come and so I didn't want to give the waiters working there a bad impression on me because then I'll never be able to come here again.

From there we headed straight back home because we did not want to be late for the dinner because mama would freak out if we were a little late and mainly because Shabeer had not yet selected his suit for the dinner.

**************

"Would this look good on me?", Shabeer asks looking at his almost sixth suit.

"Yes yes it does!" I say tired of him asking my approval as he did not choose any of the suits I had liked.

"No I don't think it looks good", he says and then digs his wardrobe for another one.

"Then why did you ask from me? You can select it yourself nuh!", I say pissed at him.

Shabeer comes towards me and says, " I'm sorry bro, I should have just selected what you told. Tell me, I'll wear anything you like".

"No Shabeer I understand that you are nervous and excited. I can't blame you because certain people are worse than you but you know what? Anything suits you bro. You're smart so go ahead choose whatever you like.", I say as I felt bad for him and as I understood how he felt.

"You sure bro?", Shabeer asks again.

"Yess very sure", I say smiling widely while I decide to leave the room.

"Okay then Saajid, I think I'll pick the dark blue suit for me", Shabeer finally decides.

"Yes that'll look good, go ahead start dressing now we are kind of late", I say and before I could leave I ask him.

"Hey Shabeer do you think I should tell Asma's parents how I feel about her and get their approval", I ask Shabeer as this question had been disturbing my mind ever since we had gone shopping for Asna.

"I think you should brother before it's too late", Shabeer says while trying out different ties on him infront of the mirror.

"No bro, I mean not today but maybe in few days", I say to Shabeer.

"Saajid, I think you should tell them quick as possible and today would be the best day for it since you had already spoke to mama and baba and as they had not refused your choice", Shabeer says.

"You sure bro?", I aks him again.

"Of course I'm sure", Shabeer says.

"Fine I'll do it then, thank you anyways Shabeer and by the way the black tie would suit you well", I say and walk away from the room as Shabeer says a "thank you" to me.

**************

"I look good right?", Shabeer asks me for almost the fifth time while we drive to Asna's house.

"Yes you look very handsome Shabeer don't worry", I say consoling him.

He had finally decided to wear his dark blue suit with a black tie, his strong smell perfume and his black rolex. I wore a black suit with a silver tie and my rolex too. We loved watches especially the rolex ones.

Mama and baba were coming in baba's vehicle while I had to bring Shabeer with me as he had not got back his car yet.

"Bro where are the certain questions I had written down to ask Asna?", Shabeer ask panicking.

"Do not worry Shabeer it's in my pocket ask me when you want it", I say to him.

"Oh okay what about the gift?", Shabeer asks again.

"It's in the back seat. Dont worry Shabeer. Would you stop panicking and keep quiet please!", I say annoyed at him.

He finally decides to shut his mouth and keep quiet till the end of the ride.

***************

"Shabeer take the gift in your hand", I say as we finally park the car at Asna's house entrance and get out of it.

"Yeah okay, wish me luck bro!", Shabeer says so nervous.

"Good luck and wish me luck too", I whisper to Shabeer.

"Thanks, good luck to you too!", he says to me and I smile back.

We join mama and baba and walk towards their entrance.

"This is it!", I say as I give a smile at Shabeer and then ring their door bell.
