《Keeping It Halal》Meeting With The Mom Again
Advertisement
Right now, we were in the car, driving to Mariam's house. Baba didn't come only Mama and I went, because it was the only day I get to see Mariam with a short dress and hair out of the Hijab. In Islam, before you get married to yoir future bride, you get to see her body first; but NO touchy, lol😂. You do it to still make sure you want her, check her out before you get married.
"AHHHH MAMA WHERE'S MY MAKEUP?" I asked. Mama handed it to me and went downstairs to see Marwan and Tante Lushi. OHHH GOD! I got into this dress, did my hair like this and did this makeup look:
Makeup look:
Outfit:
Hair (kept it in it's naturalness, no straightening or extensions):
After I was all dressed, I walked downstairs to see Marwan and Tante Lushi. Well Tante Lushi saw me like this, so she wasn't really surprised. Marwan, on the other hand was STUNNED. His jaw LEGIT dropped to the floor. Tante Lushi nudged him a bit giving him a funny 'you serious i've seen this before' kind of look. Oh and forgot to mention, this is how Tante Lushi looks like:
Marwan came and held his hand out to guide me to the couch. "Thanks. These heels are hard to walk in." I said, in Arabic. He smiled at me and I returned the smile. Marwan was wearing a pretty good looking tux and his hair was styled this way:
Cute, right🥰?!
After they left (they stayed for 30 minutes), I got dressed into something a bit more comfy and cozy; like some sweats. I went to my room and decided to call May. We haven't talked in forever.
Right now, I was cooking dinner with Adel. "Cucumber?" I asked him, reffering to putting it in the stew we were making. He tossed the cucumber over to me and luckily, I caught it. I've been pregnant for two and a half months now and I was REALLY craving cucumbers! I felt hands massaging my neck and it felt so good. "Oh, right there. Yea it hurts a lot." I said. I stopped cutting the cucumbers and turned around to cup his face in my hands. "I love you so much. And I am proud to be the mother of your son or daughter." I said. "No honey, OUR son or daughter." He said. He leaned in for a kiss, when my phone rang. I quickly swiped my head away, letting him kiss air😂. He groaned. He groaned again. "Later, later. Mariam's facetiming me." I said, not looking up from my phone.

Mariam: HAIIIII
May: hey girl!
Mariam: Today was the day he saw me in the short dress! He thought I looked good teheh. And his Mom did too!
May: Congrats. You like my new crop top? Don't worry, I only wear crop tops at girl parties and at home; in front of mahrams.
Mariam: Ofc, I trust you May
May: Kay Adel's a little kranky right now and I'm making dinner so I gotta head out. But come for dinner sometime! Maybe even sleep over.
Mariam: Inshallah. Well you two have a great night. And say hi to the baby for me!
I ended the call and listened to my Chill Playlist.

After I stopped listening to music, Marwan called me.

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
