THIS IS MY FIRST MUSLIM STORY.

BUT I'M NOT GONNA GIVE TOO MUCH DETAILS AS IT'S FOR EVERYONE. SO FEEL FREE AND ENJOY

~Adira~

Mom always says, Adira means Strong. I'm a strong girl. So, I was strong when she left me in this world to fight alone.

Not fully alone, I have one brother and Dad. Dad thought of giving us a great life even without a mom. So he worked hard , between this hard working he forget to give us attention. My brother was 12 and I was 7 when mom passed away. My brother Aman was a teenager, so drown himself in games and study. I was lost in this big house. With my pink elephant toy in my hand I walk around the house looking for peace. First I look for mom, at a time I stop looking. Because I'm a strong girl.

12 years later

I'm in my 2nd year of college. Studying psychology.

I woke up late today. In 15 minutes I was in my jeans and long tops. I comb my hair straight, apply a lip bum. Apply some lotion. I don't use perfume frequently. Taking my bag. Yeah I don't use any dupata. I like this way. When I reach downstairs, I was surprised to see dad was home.

Without saying anything I sat down to have my breakfast. Dad put down the newspaper and looked at me.

"As-salamu alaykum" Dad said. I picked up a bread and chewing it. I don't usually talk with dad. He signed .

"When I said 'As-salamu alaykum' you should reply -" I cut him.

"Wa ʿalaykumu s-salam'' I replied. He nodded. I put down my breakfast, not finishing it . Walked away from there. In this house no one care how you are? Or what is in your life? No one. Mom was the one who always do those. But now no one.

I drove all the way to school. Parking my car when a car came from behind. I pressed the break in the right moment.

"What the hell?" I opened my seatbelt and got out of the car. It was a red car. I know this car very well. Even if I look in the road I can detect it in no time.

Eshaan Ghafoor got out of his car. And his sister Maira Ghafoor also got out from the passenger seat.

Eshaan was wearing a black shirt with blue jeans. His hair was well comb. A watch hanging in his wrist. His eyes was glaring at me. Maira was in a pink long dress and matching hijab. She was beautiful .

.

Before anyone can say anything. Maira talked.

"Brother don't start anything." Warning his brother to stay away from me. Obviously, it's not good to be mixed with me. She didn't say anything to me thou.

"Don't you have eyes to see, I'm parking here? You want it that's why you just pull your car suddenly. What if something happened?!" And you hurt yourself. I can't say that.

My out blast was enough to get attention of people. Students were standing and seeing us.

I can see him getting angry. Only I can get under his skin. No one ever saw him angry. I showed the world that face.

Maira was getting that he was getting angry.

Because I'm blaming him.

"Brother leave it. Don't repl--" before she could say anything. I stepped down.

" Why? Is he illiterate? Can't you speak for himself?" I said Maira this time. I don't have anything against Maira. It was just went with the flow.

Eshaan had enough.

"Shut up! How dare you talk like this to my sister? You have problem with me, then throw insult at me. Don't even look at my sister. You're not qualified even to see her, let along talk with her." I don't lie it did hurt. But I'm strong. I put a cold face.

"I don't need qualification to talk with someone. That's right, this problem is in us, she was the one who get in the middle. So she got attack. Tell her not to come in between my fight--" He stepped toward me in anger. Fire was burning in his eyes.

"She didn't come in middle. She was talking with me. You came in middle and said those things. My sister, if she liked she'll suggest me, talk to me. Even talk for me. You have to right to come between me and my sister. And what you'll know. Just screaming and been stubborn doesn't give you all right. I was sorry not to see your daddy's expensive car was parking here. You can have it. " He looked away from me. Pulled his sister, make her sit. when he was about to sit in the driving seat. A boy from other class shouted.

"Eshaan you can park beside my car. It's empty. " Eshaan smiled it him.

"Thanks bro" before driving away not even throwing a glance at me. His sister did have me a pity eyes.

I was breathing hard. Too hard.

Everyone was looking at me. Disappointed.

Someone was whispering ' Ungrateful' , ' A weirdo'. Don't they have anything else to do.

Pushing the crowd, three people came forward. Without asking anything, Ali went to the car, Sara and Zoya came to me, pulling me out of there. Ali parked the car. They took me inside.

Only I don't know , one person was watching me inside his car. Closing his eyes , before leaning back to the seat.

~Adira~

Zoya and Sara pulled me out of there. Only those people know how much I hate starring. Zoya opened an empty class room door before pushing me inside. Putting my bag on the chair, they made me sit on one. "Here drink this."

Sara pushed a water bottle before me. I was still breathing hard, looking down I took the water bottle and took a sip. Zoya made herself comfortable on the teacher table and Sara beside my chair, on the desk. When I put down my water, Zoya asked, "Tell me one thing, when you know in the end he'll make you shut your mouth, insults you and putting a mark on you wound heart. So why put yourself in that position." I facepalm myself before looking at them. They know I'm not gonna reply anything.

"Fine. Don't reply that. But tell me what did you this time? Because what we heard on the way, it's start with some fucking parking space. And I'm fully sure that Eshaan will not blast like that for that thing. And please open your mouth." Zoya said and pushed down from the table. I sighed. "In argument I pulled Maira in it. told her to shut her mouth and let his broth speak, that she should not speak for Eshaan....in a little rude way. End of the story. I don't wanna discussed this anymore. Zoya stop saying my wound heart every time." I finished when the door opened again. It was a teacher. "Girls what are you doing here? This is your free period nor you cafeteria. Get out of the class and attend your own one, before I complain about this to you Guide. " She pointed her arm outside. We all got up and went out of it when the teacher mumbled herself, "Nowadays student became so indiscipline. Thanks to Eshaan or those girl would bunk their class...." Me, Zoya and Sara looked at each other. He complained about us.

With saying a word I walked out from there. They followed me. Zoya called me from behind to stop but I'm not in a mood of anything. Life had done enough with me , the last thing I want to be hate by my long time crush. When I first joined junior school, my driver was the one who came to dropped me as dad didn't have time for this nonsense. And was their to stop this as well. Brother very little acknowledge me in his life. On that day, every kid was saying good bye to their both parents. Kissing them, telling them that they have packed chocolate for side treat, have to finished their lunch, specially the vegetable, made their favorite lunch, tell them they'll be waiting for them at the gate. And me standing there looking at them with big eyes, then looked at the man who came there with me. He just hand me over the teacher and walked away. The cook packed my lunch , I didn't eat. Every kid was making friends, I couldn't because they're being friends on behalf of chocolate or other things. Then if I don't give them chocolate one day , then we aren't friends anymore. I always saw dad giving money to nanny to behave good with me, to make me feel love. So I'm just a deal. For that I stopped making friends. When I was 12 , I met Eshaan. He didn't remember me I know. He was just 14 years. My nanny was friend with Eshaan's mom , she took me outside to walk. For her theory I wasn't social enough to survive this world. She is nice thou, she's still work in my house as my cook. She took me out to walk and somehow end up visiting her friend's house. I didn't want to go still she made me. So I roamed around the garden when I heard a boy's voice. "Mom I'm going out!"

His mom replied, "Okay , stay safe." I didn't turned around as, Mother love is something I don't get close. When I heard another voice, it was a girl. I didn't know there was a girl in this house.

That girl said," Big Brother, Give me kisses before going!" I frowned hearing that. Who asked kiss from others. I was looking at the flowers when two hand hold my face from behind and angle it, before putting three peck on my right cheek. My eyes widen. I couldn't moved.

When again someone shouted,"Brother who did you kiss? I'm here!!" That girl came behind the other corner of the garden.

Hearing that shout, My nanny and his mom came out of the hall room.

" Eshaan, You're holding Adira..." Her voice came out low. Eshaan quickly leave me. I turned to see his face. His eyes met mine, before looking down. His face was red , on his pale skin red close was clearly showing. He looked at his mom, before saying a quick sorry and run out of there. I was starring at his figure slowly disappeared.

Behind me, That girl who was Maira , crying, her 10 years mind wasn't aware of what happened, she was in sadness that his big brother didn't give her a goodbye kiss. I blinked the first time after all this happened.

I was liking Eshaan's red face, in this I forget that I also turned red. First time someone kissed me in cheek, other then my brother and Dad. It feels different.

I didn't know what happened, My nanny quickly left from there. She said sorry to me. Which I said it's fine. No one knows what was gonna happened. I was still in red face. When I heard her chuckle.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked innocently. She stopped her laugh and looked at me. "Why your face is red?" I quickly touch my face. "It was red, I don't know. Why is it red?"

"Want to be friend with Eshaan?" "Who?"

"That boy who accidentally kiss your cheek."

I looked down.

"Is Adira getting shy? Is Eshaan good looking?" She laughed again. I pouted.

From that day, I maybe didn't go to Eshaan's house. But I couldn't forget the kiss nor his face. Every time I remember it, instead of getting mad, I smiled.

In high school, I applied local school, I was faded up of this homeschooling. Dad wasn't pleased bit who cares. I was 18 when I got to know Maira. I never talked to her in school. I just recognised her, that in my mine, if Maira is one year junior then her brother would be here too but then I remembered, his brother graduate already. But I got to see him at school to picked up Maira. When I first saw him after that day, it was a miracle. He changed a lot. He got taller, bold shoulder, long leg. Style hair, handsome face. He was leaning on his car waiting for Maira when I saw him. I was starring at him when Zoya and Sara got me. He was a sign I can't forget. Few girls did approach him for number, but looking down he completely refused.

I walked before him that day, my car was parked beside his. Zoya was an evil woman. She kept talking in loud voice. "Adira, what was you starring at ? Is my girl got a crush we're not aware off?"

Sara wasn't less too. "Zoya I think we'll see brother in law real quick." Smirk.

"Shut up you two. Or you'll not get any ride nor any snacks. Decide!" I opened my car door when I looked at him, he was still looking down. Standing in heat, he became all red. His ears were red now. Poor guy. If I had the courage to give him my favourite umbrella. But I have two people who loves to torture me. So I'll have to let him suffer.

I drove away before him. My glass was not see though, I looked at his face. He was a beauty. His eyes was beautiful I remember, still beautiful I see. And when he stood up, u understand Maira has came. So speed up girl.

That day I realized, I had a big fat crush on him.

Since that day Sara and Zoya got to know about this. First they were happy. Help me sometimes to see him. I admit in university where he read, it was fully coincidence. Sara and Zoya also applied as they want to stick together. Then when they saw the side of Eshaan toward me. Both stopped nagging me. They didn't appreciate the way he behaves. And end up hating him. Ali was Sara's boyfriend. They're family is talking about their marriage. Zoya loves to be single. At the age of 21 , Me and Zoya loves seeing action more than romance.

End's of past......

I opened the door of my class, I knew if I will open it, I'll get the most scold. They'll just pass Zoya and Sara.

As it go. I got the most scolding. Have to help in library for 2 hours everyday. And will be the helping hand for the students who will come there.

Zoya got 'Write I will never be late again for 500 times'.

Sara got. ' Will help seeing the question paper. Count the number of every question.' it's a easy thing but very Responsible work.

Sorry I was busy the whole way yesterday. Hope I didn't make everyone wait too long.

~Adira~

As it was said. I thought he would forget the punishment. But no, he called our guide and told him. Now we have to do it.

I made a face to Zoya as she has to write. She hates writing. That teacher knows that very well. How he knows?

Zoya is his cousin. Surprise!!

Zoya is the youngest child of her whole family. And That teacher, Who's name is Hamza Yusuf , the elder child of the family.

Hamza is quite cool , but he hates not been timely.

Zoya is 21 and Hamza maybe 29 or he could be 30 who knows. Zoya said it or not but Zoya loves him a lot. More like a man. She will put his subject before everything. Knows his likes dislikes. I bet her being so obviously, her family know still now. But Zoya will always refused to accept. Because her fear is Hamza will not love her back.

Her words is 'I will love you if you love me. But sorry I will not move forward if the other doesn't have the same feeling. I'm not crying for love.'

And I always tell her how do you know he doesn't love you. She replied "Like how you know Eshaan doesn't love you. " And gave me the smile who I gave her while asking the question. Fair answer.

But I had a feeling he loves her too. Because he sometimes give her ride , buy us coffee, pay our lunch. Even scold us less when we asked too much deep questions. He even let her borrow his books while has marked questions. Or let her see marks before everyone. Always care about her mood. Once Zoya was on her period, Hamza took a half day, and drove around Zoya because she had a sour mood. Now tell me he doesn't have feeling for her? I have an idiot and blind friend.

"Girl!!!!!! You're leaving me. We have to go separate way from here. Why the world is so cruel!!!!!!" Zoya faked cry hugging me. We were still in the class, Hamza sir was still standing there behind us.

"It wouldn't be cruel if you three come to the class in time." Hamza sir replied. Zoya glared at him. He raised his one eyebrow.

"I will tell big mom. She will pull your ear. And I will record it and post it in online." Zoya said before turning to me. Pouted.

"Like mom will believe you.."

"Then why I'm here!!? I will see you in home. " With that she walked out of their. He hijab got stuck in the door pin. And tear it.

"Allah!!!! Why with me!?"

"I have an extra hijab in my car . Wait here." Hamza sir said and started walking outside.

"Why you have extra hijab in your car?! Who your meeting huh?" Zoya snapped. Her questions has a smell. Jealousy smell.

He chuckled. "You left it remember last time in the restaurant you dropped water over your hijab and change it." He left to take.

"He kept it. " Zoya said absentmindedly. I looked at Sara, Sara looked at me.

"Looks like you have to stay here. But Sara have to go to the office to help and I have to go to the library to help some idiots. And We have to go now. So bye . Have fun. Confess okay. Invite me in your wedding!." Before she could reply. Me and Sara flew from there.

"How's your husband?" I asked Sara. Sara turned red. "We're not even married.!"

"But will be soon nah!!!" I whined like her.

"You know how much work I have to do. I have to buy gowns, jewelry. Matching heels. Gifts. And do make up. Spa. I have lots of work to done." She looked at me bored. I was holding my laugh.

"Go, your soon to be husband is waiting for you in the stairs. Give my salam. bye" I ran the opposite side. As library was the other side of the building.

Yeah I'm the one who haven't start wearing hijab still. Don't ask. I will start wearing when I will feel like.

I was half and half late to attend the library. When I opened the door inside. I didn't noticed that there was a person standing before the door. So the door slammed on him and he fall on the ground. I covered my mouth with my hands.

"Oh no!"

He groaned and sit up. I moved forward and bend down. He was rubbing his forehead. I put my hand on his shoulder and asked. "Are you alright? I'm sorry I didn't see--" when he pushed my hand from his shoulder. He lifted his face.

"Eshaan.."

Eshaan groaned again, I again try to hold his upper arm when he moved make. .

"Don't touch me." With that he stood up. The librarian and his friends came to him. His friends were glaring at me. I know they doesn't like me. What will I do if he stand beside the door. They took him away. The librarian looked at me.

"You started your work by a blast I see. Apologies to him when he comes back to his normal self." With that he told me to follow her. I blinked. And saw Eshaan sat on one of the chair. His friends were seeing if I damaged any cell of his body. One give him water. When the librarian called me again.

"Adira." "Coming".

"Assalamualaikum" I greet her. She was shocked to here I can tell that by her face. Why is it shocked for others to hear me giving salam?

"Walaikumaslam" she said with a smile. And gave me some books and showed me how to do it. Unfortunately I have to move here and there around Eshaan and his friends. Who were still glaring at me. But I have to ignore them. I did feel like someone was watching me. But it wasn't bother me, as my mind knows Eshaan is around me. I feel safe around him.

"Hey, Your Adira right?" Someone said behind me.

I turned and see....
