《Keeping It Halal》The End
Advertisement
-Hey guys! Me here, MuslimPapi! Btw it is NOT the end of the book!!! That is the chapter's name!
It was her. Mariam. MY Mariam. She dropped the box she was carrying and just froze reflecting me. After I noticed that we had been staring for a while, I lowered my gaze and picked her box up for her. It was heavy. But you know me, I got the muscle 💪. "Here you go...Mariam." I said to her. It took her a few seconds to react, but she took it from me after. "Thank you." She said, walking into Dalia's house and walking up the stairs. You may be wondering what I was actually doing in Dalia's house. I got here just five minutes ago to drop Kareema and Raya off and Dalia told me to help myself to a cup of orange juice so I did. Their parents are not home so I was just about to leave until Mariam got to the door. I yelled from downstairs, telling them I'd get it. And then Mariam showed up. I know we haven't been separated for long but...I MISSED HER. A lot! "Wait!" I started. She turned around, very confused. I cleared my throat. "I mean wait. Please...Can we um...talk?" I said, balancing my weight from foot to foot. I mean, I was nervous. "Sure. Just quickly. I don't want to keep Dalia waiting." She said back.
Why was he here?! Way to make me more nervous Kareem! I wanted to head upstairs and see Dalia. Wait- ARE RAYA AND KAREEMA HERE TOO?! Oh God! He asked to talk, so I said sure. I sat down at the table and he started talking. I could tell he was nervous. "Well...I..I-I lo.." He started. He couldn't finish his sentence. I know how he feels. He took a paper out and started reading. "Is it her looks or is it her eyes

They're shining through the night
She's a queen and hopefully mine one day and she'll stay
It's like they say it's love at first sight
And I know that's she's just right
and I will fight for her heart in return for
Her love." He said. He captivated my heart from then. I knew his song was meant for me. "Look Mariam. I like- LOVE you ok? But Kareema she threatened to tell the school. I am sorry. But, we can't-" "Kareem. Kareem it's ok. I love you too. Since the day we met. I really do." I said back. "No. You can't because we can't be together. My adoptive parents they...they said so...Because of Kareema. She put a bad image in their minds and they don't believe me." He said. What? What was he talking about? He loves me...Doesn't he? He went outside for a second and told me to wait. When he got back inside, he handed me a creme white rose. "I'm sorry Mariam. Bye." He said. And with that, he walked out of the house and hopped into his car. I started balling my eyes out and I think I was loud enough for Dalia, Kareema and Raya to hear. "What?! YOU'RE HERE?!" Kareema and Raya just smirked at me and signaled for Kareem to wait. They hopped into his car and drove off. Dalia immediately rushed over and pulled me up in a bundled hug. "I'm so sorry. I heard a bit." She said, pulling me close. "I'm sorry I-" "No. No it's fine. I uh...gotta get going. Oh and here are some things for your room." I interrupted her, handing the box full of room decor. "Thanks and just know this: They came over. I didn't invite them." She told me. She let me go. "I know Dalia. I know. You would never do that to me." I said walking out of the door, tearing up again. I walked out and ran to the park, under the tree I always went to when I was sad. Thankfully, the park was kind of empty. I sat under it, sobbing silently, alone. Just me and my thoughts. And Allah. He's with me. I know He'll never leave me. He is my Lord- The All Mighty. I sat there with my head in my knees for about twenty minutes, until someone came and sat by me. Marwan. What did HE want? "So, you're back Mariam?" He asked. Wait...Did he just call me Mariam? "Why are you being so nice to me? You always call me names, like Fatty, Dork, Nerd and a bunch of other names." I said, just listing a few of the rude names he calls me. I looked up from my knees. "I decided it would be nice to- meh never mind." He said and walked away. What was that all about? Wierdo🙄. I got up and dropped the rose on the ground. It was time to move on; or at least try to move on from this misery. This messed up fairy tale. This once opon a time beginning. This really is the end of the road, is it?

Magriculture (Rewrite)
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is a rewrite of the original "Magriculture", which some of you may have read. (To those who did, you have my deepest gratitude, it is absolutely because of your patronage and comments that this rewrite happened, and I feel the story is better for it.) That said, this story is not a complete and polished work, there will be mistakes and errors, an occasionally these errors may mean I need to rewrite portions of the story (as of this posting the story has gone through two major rewrites already, and I'm seriously hoping there won't be need of a third.) Because of this, there may at times be changes. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will. Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If you're looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.
