The Study Break

Chapter 7 : The Study Break

It was study break week and before I decided to go dive into my books...I decided to visit two of my high school friends.

I was close to many girls in high school some of which I see on campus .But there was one girl I could always chat to beside Amina .

I was excited to spend the day with Sumayah who lived a few streets over and Safiyah who lived on the other end of town.We decided to hang out at Sumaya's house. 

It was a relaxing day we caught up on what's happening in each other’s life.

Sumayah is quite bubbly and always knew how to brighten your day with her chirpiness. At the moment Sumayah was studying teaching and like me had no interest in getting married.

Safiyah is also quite talkative but what I loved the most about her was her sense of fashion and her motherly nature she was always advising me not to do something..

“You know Sara you have to make round round rotis or otherwise you got to find a husband that likes geography so he can guess which continent you rolled out for him” she would scolded me school.

 I could always talk to safi about everything she always had the correct answers  ... 

Safiyah was on a samosa run and had a tale to tell about all the different guys that came to see her .

"This one he took of his toppe , and out came his hair piece falling right into my fathers plate ..

And this other guy was too busy munching on the samosas, then to worry about looking at me , I think if i said yes to him i would have to cook whole day...

"The best one ,was this guy he was cute ,decent height  ,had a degree but he opened his mouth i wanted to give him toothpaste and mouthwash as a present ..." Safiyah had us in stitches as she retold the tales

We spent the afternoon eating junk food and watching old Bollywood films, oh! and not forgetting the yummy spice chicken rice Sumayahs mummy made for lunch.

It was nice spending time away from the hustle of campus.
But as soon as I got home I decide to make a  study timetable and prepare for my upcoming exams. I had to pass or I could say goodbye to campus..

I started sorting my notes out across my carpet and then made my study timetable.

As always my mother chooses the perfect time to walk in

“Ya Allah what a big mess you made here please clean it up
And auntie faathis son is downstairs he said he needs  some notes, you know I don't understand all that studying talk  “ my mother rattled me

“You seem to spending lots of time with him “ she continued lecturing me  “Please don't go make haram haram with him ,already that Julie is making stories, your name will get bad “

“Maa I'm busy ,just tell him to write a note with  what he wants,  I will send it with Abba Maghrib time” I replied ,I was no mood to deal with people – oh well maybe with Taahir he started acting a bit weird recently 

‘Yea yea I'll tell him ,don't  over stress yourself okay?Just now you will go mad "My mother said walking out leaving my door wide open 

I hate when people don't close the door ,I woke up to close the door and thought  

-The real reason I didn't want to talk to him much is because he kept asking me weird random question and I really don't know what to tell him, I also kind of overheard him the other day talk to his friend ..I know it's bad to eavesdrop but I just walked in at the wrong time

I'm not ready to face the music yet …
