Faruq!👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾 My fave!❤️

Dedicated to all faruq's lovers.

Al amin's P.O.V

I walked into my office with a salam and plopped myself down on the swivel chair. I looked around the room as i thought of ya sakina, she was the one that helped me in designing my office after abba handed me over this company. Everything about the room screamed cozy, It has a homey atmosphere yet so sleek and professional. Just the way i like it. No kidding, she did a great job.

Sighing, i removed my cap and placed it on top of the desk. Today was Friday. Thank God I didn't have to stay long. And there's no much work to do, I just had to review three more files and that's all.

I heard a beep from my MacBook and when I checked it, i saw it was a video call from faruq. 'He is definitely going to annoy the crap out of me' I thought silently and answered.

"Hey man what's up?" I said after his annoying face came into view.

"Nothing much man, i've got nothing to do in my office so I thought why won't i bother you a little?" He said in an exaggerated slow pace. I told you!!

"So disturbing my peaceful soul was the only solution that popped out of your big head? Huh? Brilliant!" I blew out an air in frustration, a little dramatic "Well bad luck, you better find another way out to your boredom because i have more important things to do"

"Now that you're shooing me i want to stay more and i know in the depths of your soul deep deep deep inside you want me to stay, you better stop pretending, man what is life without me?" He said with a smirk "Anyway, where is Zabin abba? Such a bad buddy, you didn't even tell me she got discharged from the hospital, sadly i heard it from yasmeen"

Ruqayyah would definitely dice him into pieces when she hears that name 'Zabin abba', she would prefer 'RAK' to that, for sure. Seriously I didn't even know where i got that name from, it was stupid at first but now i really like it.. Maybe because she hates it when i call her that and i think it kind of fits her.

I shrugged "What really matters now is that she's okay..."

"Uhm And you're more than happy that your soulmate is okay" He cut me off, grinning.

"Umar Faruq abdullahi i have got some things to do, please allow me, would you?" I said, trying not to smack his head from the screen.

"Of course, of course man" He laughed "I will take my leave"

"Maybe i will drop in to your crib after the Friday prayer in sha Allah" I said and hung up.

It was not for that long when I started going through some files, i heard a knock. "Come in" I ordered, placing the files aside.

Deeju walked in with a salam. "Wa alaikumussalam" I answered and gestured for her to sit. She slowly sat and nibbled her bottom lip.

"Do you need anything? Is there any problem?" I asked seeing how she looked so edgy. 'Something must be wrong' I thought and leaned back in my chair. "Ahh... Are you free?" She asked, looking everywhere but me.

I nodded "Yes"

"Well errr.... Can we talk?" She questioned fussily.

Aren't we already talking???

"Of course, go on"

"I.. I don't know where to start.. Ah.. the thing is just so complicated" She sighed.

I chuckled "Then un-complicate it"

"Al amin.. I.. the thing is... okay wait" She took in a deep breath obviously trying to calm down her skyrocketing heart "I know i might sound crazy or even stupid but I want you to listen and at least think about it" She finally looked up and allowed her eyes to clash with mine "I had a fight with my mother yesterday, she set me up again with one of my cousins saleem, i told her there was no way i was going to marry him because i didn't like him, I always dream to marry the man i love, the man of my choice, so she got really pissed and said she couldn't take it anymore it's either i bring out a suitor in the next 30 days or she would get me married to saleem whether i like it or not.." She broke into tears and i just stared, unsure of what to say or do. Instead I looked at my intertwined fingers on the desk.

She suddenly looked up "Al amin i want you to marry me"

What the honey??? Was that supposed to be a request or a proposal? No, she must be kidding. She must be pulling my legs.

I chuckled "You're really funny, I can't be bamboozled easily, it is probably faruq's idea right? He wanted to make me a part of one of his sick plans, well you guys can now come out" I looked around the room waiting to see some people holding a camcorder, laughing merrily and telling me it was a prank. But there was nobody. No camcorder or a video camera. It wasn't a jape.

I frowned deeply and looked at her, she was damn serious. "Wait you want me to marry you?" I asked, pointing my index finger at her, in disbelieve. I swear i almost choked on my spit.

She slowly nodded, more tears flowing down her cheeks "Yes, yes al amin I want you to be my future husband"

"You of all people know that I'm already engaged, its just 6months to my wedding" I uttered, trying hard to sound polite. She nodded "Yeah i know about that but a man is entitled to four wives"

My frown deepened "I don't wish to have more than one"

She looked up, subhanallah her eyes bloodshot "Al amin what do you want me to do? Its been 2years, I have tried every possible way to show you how in love i am with you" She yelled making me raise my eyebrows a little in surprise "But.. but you never noticed, al amin i see you're only blind for ruqayyah, you see nobody else but her, but i think you deserve somebody better than her..."

"Cut it out, don't even go there" I cut her off, adrenaline flying through my blood.

"Of course i knew you wouldn't believe me but i have to tell you the truth, you deserve somebody way better than her, what does she has that i don't? Is it the beauty? Or the body? Al amin tell me" She spat.

"Subhanallah" I murmured and closed my eyes taking deep drafts of oxygen into my lungs, in order to tame my anger.

"Hadeeza don't cross the limit, don't" I warned.

"Why are you so selfish?" She said harshly.

"Did you hear yourself? Selfish?" I let out a chuckle incredulously "Deeju you're the selfish one here" I pointed at her "Did you think about ruqayyah at all? Her feelings? What she would think of me? Her parents? My parents? Please deeju, Ruqayyah is only a human, she has feelings too, how will you feel when you're engaged with someone and he suddenly calls and say he's not in love with you only but with another person? Do you think its fair. Well i don't think i can and i might consider so if only i could do justice which I highly doubt. No one deserves to be treated that way in fact i have no interest in doing so"

"But al amin you can marry her then marry me later" She spoke rather in a hushed tone.

Did she hear me at all?

"Deeju I said i don't wish to have more than one wife and I don't want to repeat myself" I emphasized each and every word.

I stoop up, walked to the chair across from her and sat. "You see, I don't know what Allah has for me but I'd never in a million years wish to marry another woman after ruqayyah, so i will advise you to do as your mother says, you should marry saleem, in sha Allah you'll gradually learn to love him and..."

"I can't" She interjected "I cannot marry him"

Ya Salam! Why is she being obstinate?

I sighed "Deeju"

"Yes" She answered, staring intently.

"I'm sorry" I shook my head "I'm sorry, i cannot marry you, it is cruel of me to do that, I can't do that to ruqayyah, she doesn't deserve this"

"At all" I added.

The room remained quite with only deeju's sobs and the irritating ticktocking of the wall clock. I decided to break the silence by clearing my throat.

"I'm sorry" I said one more time before I exited  the room. I realized the more i stay in that room with her the more things get complicated.

I met my PA, Murad, and ordered him to lock my office when she is out then drove home. It was already past 12pm when i arrived, so i waited for abba so that we could go to the masjid together, as we always do.

Once we were back, i headed to Faruq's crib. I went to greet his parents first before i ambled to his part.

We decided to play Ps4 (fifa16) to kill time but faruq must have noticed how i have been playing awfully and how i've been getting carried away. "Man, whats wrong with you?" He asked and paused the game.

I looked at him contemplating whether to tell him or not. "Come on" He pressed.

I sighed and told him 'everything' briefly, he's my best buddy after all. I was expecting him to gasp or look at me with sympathy but instead faruq being faruq, he started to laugh his head off.

I frowned "Its not funny faruq"

"I... I can't.. Even... Im..imagine you... having.. two wives" He spoke amidst his laughter.

"This is a serious issue"

"I wish i was there" His laughter subsided "And you actually thought it was a prank? well for your information i don't hate you that much, i would be the last person to allow you marry any other than Ruqayyah" He patted my shoulder "You did great, i hope you now realize that you do love her right?"

"Who?" I asked dumbly.

"Zabin abba" He answered with a grin "She's exceptional, no girl can be in the same level with her"

I shook my head "No I don't love her"

"You hate her?" He asked, eyes widened.

"Of course no"

"Uhm you love her"

"No no and no, I don't love her and yes I don't hate her, i just..." I trailed off, at a loss for words. I sighed "I don't know, it's confusing"

"Man" He laughed "You almost gone off your nut when she tumbled down the stairs, you gave her your blood, you spent like the whole 9days in the hospital with her, claiming that you went to pick Yasmeen meanwhile you wholeheartedly wanted to see her. And i know certainly you think about her every time. Every day, every minute and every second she's always in your mind, you enjoy her company, you feel like you can do anything just for her to be out of harm's place, Al amin muhammad tafida that is called love" He shot me a cheshire grin, as though he had broke the most amazing news ever.

I stared at him, trying to register what he had just said. Maybe, just maybe some of the things he listed were true. I have never fall in love before and I don't think i've fallen even now. I don't think i love her neither do i hate her but without a doubt i do enjoy chatting, teasing and exchanging messages with her. And the 9days she spent in the hospital were like the most fun days of my life.

Well.. i 'like' her but definitely not 'love'.
