04 April, 2024 - 25th Ramadan



 She was engaged with daily house chores, when Nabil called. Her hands were wet, dripping with water as she quickly answered the phone. she smiled and her heart skipped a beat. Nabil was calling from his office and wanted to take her to a iftaar gathering at work. He was very excited because it would be the first time her could take her out and introduce his pride to the world. She listened very carefully as he spoke very gently to her. “ But I don’t know what to wear” she replied. “ anything will look good on you” he replied. “ I will pick you up at 4.30 “ then he hung up. As she finished her cleaning, she was deep in thought about her love. The love she fought for! Looking at the clock , “ I don’t have much time.” She opened her wardrobe and took black trousers and pale grey shirt out for Nabil and put it on her bed. Then she pulled out a pair of black shoes from a box. She cleaned the shoes until they looked almost new. Now she as the hard part!

She has decided that her outfit had to co- ordinate with Nabil’s. Digging into the wardrobe she found a beautiful black outfit. With silver embroidery on the neckline and around the sleeves. “ this would look perfect along side with Nabil’s” grabbing her clothes and Nabil’s she dashed into the ironing room. She placed them neatly on the bed, with his favourite watch and perfume. Then began to get ready hoping that he would be totally smitten. She heard the car park up as she finished applying the final touches. Nabil came looking very tired but once her saw her radiant face, his eyes lit up. He was totally mesmerised. She smiled  and gave him a peck on his cheek. He pulled her closer and hugged her tightly. “ Nabil go and get changed “
Nabil was really romantic. He held her hand whilst he was driving and didn’t miss opportunity to glance at her occasionally. He loved her so much and always confessed when he got a chance. People look all their lives to find a love this pure.

 She found him when she had no hope. No hope in loving or being loved by someone this deep. She had found what she was searching for many lives. Her love, her Nabil, her reason to smile.

  Meeting you Nabil, was an unexpected coincidence.  Befriending you was my choice. I don’t know when the friendship turned to a feeling, that I had never experienced. The feeling! This so called feeling lead to many more, feelings over the period of many months. Firstly a light banter, bitter sweet late nights. Then the anguish , that was out of my control. Yes the anguish, that ran through my nerves, triggering more nerves. The nerves that lead to my damaged throbbing heart. My brain was giving me instructions to warn my idol heart. Your sweet voice was a dose to my soul. In this whole process, I don’t know how and when I became you. I was writing my feelings for you. Because it’s my way of expressing myself so that I feel better. You always say that I must express myself to you. And honestly I feel better. It helps me to relax my mind. Or I need to read. I’m a bloody walking library. Get used to it.

        Was it a dream??  It was the morning of the big day. The perfect day, that had been planned carefully with so much attention and care. She got up really early, matter of fact, didn’t sleep all night. Tossing, turning and wondering about the outcome. She had planned about her appearance and what she could wear. Nabil was so attentive to detail. She wanted to look and smell her best. She messaged her love and informed him. The wait was over! Several months of crying and hoping for this day was over. She took a deep breathe and looked at her self in the mirror, hoping for the best. Picked up her handbag and sat in the car anxiously waiting for the driver. She has it all planned in her head. What if they decided to come in? What if she got there late? What if he came late? Over and over, it was never ending. Every stop she would informed him. Nabil was mentally preparing himself for the big meet. As the time ticked closer to the nearly 4 hour dr...

Feb 8, 2024 4AM - Lost in thoughts

      Baby please don’t overthink. I’m here for you always. I know that you are thinking that she is the biggest overthinker that you probably know, but I can’t bare you stressing over stuff that is not in your control. I know, what is on your mind all the time. Your silence speaks to me. It hurts me so much that you worry so much. You are very special to me and mean more than I can express. All I know is that my heart is always restless without you. It secretly prays for your happiness and success all the time.  I start my day thinking about you and end my day thinking about you. Our endless conversations and romantic fights. Our cute FaceTime moments we share. Holding items to feel ones presence nearby. Looking at the ticking clock to see what the other must be doing. And most importantly, waiting for one another all day to hear that voice, that rescues our souls  from despair. Then again it is fuelled to roam again the next day and so on.   You are my ❤️...
