They are garments for you and you are garments for them.

Ruqayyah 

"What shall we cook for dinner?" asked ammi as she pouted 

i chuckled

the men were out of the house for some work and all the females, that is, Ammi, Iqra, Nabz, Nafz and I were seated in the dining hall doing nothing 

the interview was good, really good 

"Umm......... okay i got nothing" i replied and ammi laughed

"You know its only females, take off the hijab, Ruqayyah!" said ammi and the rest nodded

i nodded and began unpinning the hijab 

wrapping the shawl around my neck so it covered my chest, i set there wandering what to make for dinner

"Can't we just order? and watch netflix?" asked Iqra and ammi perked up 

"Thats a great idea- i will call Ibrahim and let him know- and........ look up good movies to watch girls!!" said ammi and we nodded

i stood up to head to the kitchen for some snacks when Iqra pulled me away from the rest 

"Where are we going?" i asked her as we made our way towards the grand stairs 

"Shhhh- walk with me and you will know" she replied smirking 

we walked into her room and she locked the doors after her 

switching on the lights, she pushed me into her closet 

the walls that had posters and paintings began moving the huge mirrors appeared and i stared at it in awe 

"Wow- so you bought me here to show this?" i asked her and she laughed 

"No-" she said piling her hair in a huge bun 

"then?" i asked her as i stared around her closet 

"Take off that hijab-" she said and i did what she said 

she pointed to the mirror and i gazed at it

'What am i suppose to be looking at?" i asked her and she grinned

She put her hand near my collarbone on the mirror 

"See- Look closely" she muttered and my eyes widened in realization 

"I. Am. Going. To. Kill. Him!" i said in between gritted teeth and she burst out laughing 

the aread near my collar bone was swollen and it was scarlet with fading blue in the edges 

he just did not do that to me!!! 

"Had fun?" she winked and i blushed as i remembered last afternoon 

he had been.................. kissing me for what seemed like hours, on the couch and even made that mark!! and i was angry for it!!! 

"Never mind that- you had to tell me about this guy" I said to her and she laughed

"Naah... there was this guy i saw at the campus, his name was Almaan, i thought i liked him until i saw him bashing guys at the cafeteria, i saw him from the library- that site was not so good- so i guess i really did not like him-" she chuckled and i shook my head

putting my hand over her shoulder, i looked at her from the mirror

"Who ever falls for you will be so lucky!" i said and she laughed

"Not really, he will have to buy me books all the time" she said and i chuckled

"Speaking of which, got any new books?" i asked her and she nodded

She turned around and hit something on the notepad and another set of walls opened, revealing a huge bookshelf 

"Woah- who did this!?!" i asked her as i stared at it in awe 

"Shumayll.......... he knew about this house before we moved in so yeah................" she said and i turned to her smirking 

"Now who's in the teasing zone?" i winked at her and she laughed

"We hate each other, he just did this coz he broke my other bookshelf" she replied and i scoffed

"He did it coz he so likeeess you!" i winked and she laughed clenching her stomach 

"Righttt and Hulk and Iron man want to date and marry me!" she retorted after a series of laughter

"Fine but one day, one day if that happens, you have to give me your precious collections!" i said and she laughed

"Fine and if it doesn't happen and i find my prince charming, you buy me everything i want!" she said and i grinned

Her brother will do it- 

hahaa

"Deal!" i said and she chuckled

"Be prepared to lose!" she winked and handed me a small bottle

'Whats this?" i asked her taking it 

it read 'Fareze Cream' 

"Its for the skin, it will help that heal faster" she said and i nodded blushing 

i did not need my husband;s sister to tell me all these- thats for sure 

"I am not you husbands sister- i am more of your friend!" she retorted and i laughed

"I voiced it out loud?" i asked and she nodded smiling 

"Oh i love you man!!" i hugged her and she laughed hugging me back

we talked and laughed until ammi called and it reminded us that we needed to get ready for the movie 

i sprinted to the kitchen with Iqra on her phone, googling some movie names 

taking out the pop corn, i put them in the micro and hit start for 5 minutes and then raided the pantry for any other snacks 

Zahi and Zaik, after much pleading from Iqraam and Namaan, they were allowed to go out with them 

Although i have no idea where they went, Iqraam promised they will be safe 

Taking the pop corn and some chips and a fruit bowl, I walked upstairs to the movie room, in other words, our home theater

"We are watching 'Welcome Back'" shouted Nabz as she plugged in the TV system

We all set on the mattress with pillows around us as the movie started 

i must say John Abraham is an epic actor, especially in bad boy roles

we laughed and ate snacks as the movie continued 

it was interval when the door of the theater opened 

i was so glad for the darkness as no one can see us 

But nevertheless, i threw on my hijab and niqab over my dress and leggings (weird i know but i guess i did have my abhaya here and it gets pretty hectic when the males are around- well i can show my face to abba but Namaan is a whole new case...) 

"Girls i think we should join too!" said abba and the dim lights switched on 

i stood up to go check up on the kids

"They are asleep" said Abba on the way and i nodded

i walked to Zaik's room and Namaan was putting him to bed

"Thank you!" i said and he gave me a grin 

"No problem, bhabhi" he smiled and walked out 

i kissed Zaik's forehead and walked out of his room after switching off the lights

i then walked to Zahi's room and Iqraam was pushing the blankets over her 

"Thank you" i whispered as i stood by him and he grinned at me 

"She fell asleep when returning home..." he replied and i nodded

"Where did you guys go anyway?" i asked as i tucked the blankets and pillows safely 

"Arcades, gaming" he replied and i shook my head incredulously 

we walked out of her room and he switched off the lights 

"I love it with them...." he muttered as we walked to our room 

"hey, we were watching a movie- wanna join?" i asked him and he chuckled

"Sure-" he replied "-After i shower and change" 

i sighed

"I thought we agreed on having minimum showers!" i said and he laughed

"I am sticky from all the games we played!" he protested and i sighed

"Fine..." 

with that we walked silently to our room 

he went straight to shower and i took out the extra pillows from the closet 

did i tell you i need more pillows?

the side of my lower abdomen began hurting slightly and i winced 

taking a glass of water from the nightstand, i drank it down 

when I was pregnant with Zahi, the doctors had told me to drink water and eat healthy and lots of food, mainly drink water- or my side will begin paining again 

i guess its that or my ovaries will explode soon, either way, i hated both of it 

"You alright?" asked Iqraam coming over to me and i nodded

"Okay, shall we go?" he asked me and i nodded

Pulling on a long dress that made me look like a woman from the 1950's! 

eh-

"What is that you are wearing?" he asked me smirking and i blushed 

i probably looked like an overgrown baboon!

"Its a loose dress that i wore when i was... pregnant" i muttered and he laughed putting his arms around me 

"Okay.............. you look pretty though" he said and i scoffed

"Overgrown baboon to be precise" i replied and he laughed kissing my forehead

"Naah, you look fine" he said as he tied the belt of the dress 

"Come on" i said pulling his hoodies with him 

we quietly creeped into the theater room and set at the back 

his head was on my lap as i leaned onto the seats 

Iqra was beside me smirking 

I took off my niqab and played with his hair as i watched the movie 

it was half done!

they were about to get married! The main guy and girl!

"I wanna go sleep!!" whined Iqraam from my lap and i chuckled

the movie was coming to an end and i sighed

"A little bit more until its done..." i said and he sighed closing his eyes

the movie finally ended and every stood up 

"You all go, abba and I will clean up" said ammi and abba nodded 

Iqraam got up and held out his hand 

taking my niqab with me, i stood up with his help 

"Allah Hafiz" we both said out loud and everyone replied before heading to our room 

Iqraam locked the doors as i switched on the lights

pulling off the dress, i put it on the nearby chair, in case i have to wear it again and turned to Iqraam

"What?" i asked him as he stared at me 

a small smile made its way on his face and i chuckled

"You alright?" i asked him and he nodded slightly fazed 

"I- uh........ will change-" he said and i nodded

I set on the bed, tying my hair in a bun 

long, lengthy hair was my favorite, but at times it got a little messy 

i pushed the short hairs aside as i went through my phone 

any of Iqraam's work messages will come on my mail 

"Iqraam wh-" i stop when i see him walking out of the closet grinning at me 

i chuckled and held out my phone to him 

"What?" he asked me and i gave him a puppy dog face 

"Charger?" i said and he began whining but nevertheless, he ended up putting it on charger 

Just then it hit me about the mark 

He walked over to the bed and set infront of me, crosslegged

"Why did you give me a mark?" i questioned him and confusion raked all over his face

"What mark?" he asked me and i groaned

i pointed my hand to the mark on the collar bone and he gave me a sheepish grin 

"Its not like anyone will see it- i mean you wear a hijab!" he protested and i sighed

"Iqra saw it" i muttered and he shrugged

"She knows, don't matter" he replied and i chuckled

they both loved each other to no limits

"It doesn't matter anyway..." he said as he put his arms around my shoulders and his eyes met mine 

"W-why?" i stuttered 

damn you hormones!

"because you will eventually get them.. alot" he winked and i blushed

his gaze flickered to my lips and back to my eyes 

i smiled and he groaned

"Don't wake up tomorrow and tell me i was wrong to do these things to you!" he said and i laughed 

the moment was totally ruined by his comment

"I won't" i said and he chuckled

"you sure about it?" he asked with all sincerity and i smiled

I was sure... maybe 

"yeah..." i whispered blushing 

he cupped my face with his hands and smiled at me

'Oh how much i love you!" with that he leaned in and soon his lips were on mine 

this was going to be a long night.............................

Salaam people

sorry for the late update- i was gone for my school shopping 

anyways..........

i missed u all 

comment on how u found the chap- 

love u all 

oh the the reason she can't show her face to Namaan is because in Surah Nur, it is said that a woman can only show herself to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islâm), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex.

so yeah 

hope it clears up some things 

I love u all 

muahh
