5. Couple Goals?

N A D A' S P O V

I was missing her. A lot. It's been only few days since I left Alizah with Fahad and I was already missing her. So I decided to meet her. Well why not?

Wait, Nada! Don't you think that you are missing something?

OH MY GOD?! I DIDNT INFORM MIRA ABOUT ALL THIS?! HOW COULD I?

I really need to tell her. I was going to call but thought not to because she must be tired or bust as it was not even a week since her reception. I was debating whether to call or not when my phone dragged me out of the dilemma, by ringing.

I looked at the phone to see Mira, my best friend calling. You see, the best friend connection. I answered it as soon as possible.

"Asalamwalaikum (peace be upon you) Miraaaaa." I said with extra enthusiasm. I love her man! She is my bestest friend if that's even a word in the dictionary if not then I invented one. She's practically my soulmate.

"Walaikumasalam (peace be upon you too) Nadaaa." She replied with the same energy and chuckled.

"So how was everything at the reception?" I asked her. I needed to ask her as I didn't get time before to ask.

"It was good, everything was how it was supposed to be." She answered.

"Hmm. . . Afterall who was the planner of all this stuff? Your best friend." I jabbered acting all cool.

"And Rahim's best friend too. Fahad." She piped in.

"Ugh! Was it important to include him?" I grumbled against the speaker.

"Come on, you know I ship you guys. Anyway thank you Nada the function went very well. Higher than our expectations." She gushed with joy.

"Aww. . . No need to thank me, anyway I was bored with doing nothing and our graduation is also one or two week later and we don't even have our college, so I decided why not utilise my free time." I suggested. It's been a week only and I already want to meet Mira. She comes in my daily routine.

"Ok. Mira listen I wanna tell you something very important. Where are you?" I got serious in the next second.

"Oh my God! You finally fell in love with Fahad. Yaasss atleast forcing you to go home with him didn't go waste." She rambled off.

"No. You idiot! I am not in love with that maniac and will never be. You first tell me where are you know?"

"Umm. . . I was going to Rahim's office he said he is in some trouble so come in with some diapers." She sounded very confused. Oh God please don't tell me that Fahad took Alizah with him to the office.

Ofcourse Fahad must have brought Alizah with him to the office.

"Fine I'll be picking you up in fifteen minutes near Target be ready we'll go together. I also wanted to tell you something important."

"Okay then tell me as soon as we meet, bye AllahHafiz." (Muslims parting greeting, meaning God be with you)

"AllahHafiz."

I informed Mom about me going to Fahad's office and packed some baby food and milk for Alizah, in case she was hungry, as diapers were going to be brought by Mira I didn't carry those with me.

Within minutes I found Mira standing near Target with a bag in her hands which according to me were diapers.

She came sat inside and I started the engine.

"Why did he ask me to bring diapers?" Mira mumbled in confusion.

"I know the reason."

"What is it?"

"Let's go at the office first." I acknowledged her and sped up to the info tech .

As soon as I parked the car in the parking lot. We went inside the private lift. Come on, here Mrs. Almira Zainab Sayed is the wife of Ibrahim Sayed we had to go by the 'private' lift or elevator, whatever you call it.

"Remember last time when we both came here. We were pranked." I reminisced the incident. At that time, Fahad was so chilled out. But now he isn't like he used to be. How many times am I gonna mention that?!

"Yes, I remember. God at that time I was totally messed up." Mira commented.

"Umm... Mira what has happened to Fahad? I mea-" I was cut off when the lift's door opened and I saw Rahim standing there.

"Asalamwalaikum (peace be upon you) babe. Where were you? I called you such a long time ago." He prodded giving a kiss on her cheek. Awww so cute!

I looked at Mira who was already red. She was never the openly showing PDA.

"Asalamwalaikum Rahim boy." I decided to acknowledge my presence.

"Oh Nada. You are here too. Walaikumasalam (peace be upon you too)." He greeted me.

"Why do you need diapers?" Mira interrogated him.

"Fahad called me and asked me to bring the diapers as soon as possible. I was kinda busy so I decided to tell you to bring them and also I would get another chance to see my girl." He winked at her at the last. See, I wasn't lying when I said Fahad must have brought Alizah along with him. Who brings an infant to office? Yes, Fahad- the one and only, insane person.

"Where is Fahad rightnow?" I asked Rahim.

"Oh already getting all worried for future husband." Rahim teased. This couple ships me too much with Fahad which is very wrong.

The only reason I dislike Rahim and Mira is that they tease me a lot! Like why? They know I despise him but still.

"Future husband? Ewwwww." I said making a very disgusted face.

"He would be coming here in some time I guess." Rahim answered. "Let's go in my cabin then." He suggested and we followed him.

"What did you want to say?" Mira turned towards me.

"Wait let Fahad com-" I was cut off when the door of the cabin burst and came in Fahad with a crying Alizah.

"Awww...My baby. Come to Momma my sweetheart." I rushed towards Alizah to take her from Fahad. As she was in my arms, she gradually stopped crying.

"What did you do to her?" I barked at Fahad angrily.

"I did nothing. It's her excretory system which did the deed." He defended himself.

"What?! You both had a kid too?! You cheated! You didn't even inform me." Rahim went and slapped Fahad's shoulder.

"OH MY GOD?! NADA?! HERE YOU WERE CRINGING WHEN ONLY FAHAD'S NAME WAS TAKEN AND YOU ALSO HAD A KID WITH HIM!?" Mira screamed at me.

What has happened to this couple? Why are they screaming so much?

"Mira, my best friend, please stop shouting, Alizah is already crying." I tried to reason out.

"Aww...Alizah is her name. So cute. Let her godmother hold her." She chortled in joy and took Alizah from me. And here I face palmed myself.

"No guys it's not what you both are thinking. She is not our daughter." Fahad announced.

"Wait can we continue the discussion later? First let me change her diaper and feed her. When was the last time you did these two things?" I looked at Fahad.

"At six o' clock. It is the first time when I brought her to the office because Mom's not home and Uméma has also gone to her college. So I decided to bring her with me." He murmured the last part.

"I decide to bring her with me." I mimicked his voice. "Stupid."

"You are supposed to take good care of her when you decide to bring her along. Or if that wasn't possible then you should have asked me to take her with you." I scolded him. He really needs to sort his priorities out.

"I don't have your number." He answered simply.

I took a sticky note, which was lying on Rahim's desk, and wrote my number with a marker and gave it to him.

"This is my number and give me a call so that I also have yours." I instructed him curtly. He finally saved my number and called me not before giving me a death glare.

"You could have taken from Rahim but no you didn't want to crush your ego, right?" I bellowed.

"Shut up. I can take good care of her. Much better than you can." He spoke boastfully.

"Oh really? I can see what good care you took, fool." I bragged at him. What does this nincompoop think of himself?!

"Whom did you call fool?"

"Who deserves to be called a fool? You Ofcourse. So I called you a fool."

"NADA SHUT YOUR MOUTH." He hollered. Pfft, my ears.

"NO I WILL NOT. NOT WHEN I AM SAYING THE TRUTH!" I fumed in anger.

"Stop it both of you! Here Alizah is crying and you both are busy in bickering? Come here Nada, let's feed and change her diapers." Mira dragged me with her to the other couch.

"And you too chill. Come here sit with me." Rahim also called to Fahad.

"This stupid girl." I heard Fahad mumbling.

"What did you say?!" I turned back to look at him.

"Stu-" He was cut off by Rahim.

"Fahad no." Rahim scolded. "Come here." He made Fahad sit with him.

"Idiot boy. He himself doesn't know anything tells me to listen to him." I muttered once I was done with changing Alizah's diaper. While Mira was feeding Alizah baby food which she must have seen in the bag I had carried.

"Shh...Nada. You too provoke him much. Stop doing that sometime." She tried to make me understand things.

"But Mira-" I whined.

"No excuses." She got up taking Alizah in her hands.

We both walked towards where Rahim and Fahad were sitting.

"Now start explaining that why did you both do such haraam (religiously prohibited) thing of getting a child before..." Rahim trailed off.

"No it's not like that Rahim." Fahad stated.

"But her hair and eyes?!" Mira and Rahim both spoke together.

Why is everyone stuck on that point?!

"Oh couple goals I see." I commented in between. At this Rahim winked at Mira.

At this time, I and Fahad both made a tsk tsk sound.

Oh God when will this guy leave me?!?

"Oh. Couple Goals I see." Mira commented this time.

"Shut up Mira. And Rahim! I did attend your wedding just a month ago and did you see any baby bump? Dude how could you talk like that. It takes nine months for a baby to come out. And Mira we meet once a week atleast how could you even think about something like that?!" I scolded them.

"We know- we know. We were just pulling your leg." She backed up her hands up defense. "Now you both tell me what's all matter about?" Mira asked.

So we, I and Fahad, explained them everything. From that Samaira lady to the agreement which we made to handle Alizah for every alternating week.

"Oh my God!" Were the words Mira said when we ended our explanation.

Ya Allah. Give me strength!
