《Keeping It Halal》Our Time

"So, Dalia filmed my wedding blog for me, so I'm filiming HER wedding vlog! Hey, I'm Mariam and welcome back to my Youtube channel, Hello Mariam!" I said to my phone. Well today Dalia's getting married to Mo and I wanted to make a video because of how happy I am. "Say hi, Dalia." I said, turning my phone to her. We decided to go to Starbucks before we go to the salon. We're in a Zoom btw (Zoom is a driving company, just like Uber). Mariam waved her hand to the camera. I ordered a pumkin spice latte and Dalia ordered a simple iced coffee😑.
Here is Dalia's outfit:

"Wow, you look so pretty Mashallah!" I exclaimed. Dalia and Mo's wedding was going to be Desi themed and they were also going to have the Jartick for Sudanese culture. "I am so glad to be friends with you." Dalia said, hugging me tightly. "Wow, we've been friends for 8 years and a few days." Dalia laughed, crying a bit. I promised her that everything will be fine Inshallah.
After the wedding, Marwan and I decided to head home. "Can you get me a pregnancy test?" I asked him, yawning. "Already," He started. I gave him a look. "Fine, fine." He chuckled. He passed me the test and it was positive! "ALHAMDULLALLAH! ALHAMDULLALLAH MARWAN I'M PREGNANT!" I screamed, running into his arms. He stroked my beautiful long hair and I think he started to cry happy tears. "Alhamdullallah for this amazing gift. I'll have two babies; you and our newborn. Inshallah." He said, kissing my forehead.
I was so happy. In a few months, I'll have a baby boy; or girl! Maybe even twins, triplets or quadriplets. Ok Marwan, you're overdoing it😂! Just then I got a call from my boss. Ugh, perfect timing😒. I pulled away from the hug I was giving Mariam and answeres my phone. "Hello? MARWAN I NEED THOSE CASE FILES BY THE END OF THE WEEK !! NOW YOU BETTER-" "Boss, I'm on vacation and my plane will take TOMORROW." I interupted. "I DON'T CARE!! YOU GET THEM DONE OR YOU'RE FIRED! F.I.R.E.D!!!" He hung up. My mood immedietly changed and I walked into our room, angrily to get changed. "Marwan! Marwan are you ok?" Mariam asked, rubbing my shoulder. "Just leave me alone, OK?" I asked. Wow, we've never gotten into an arguement while we were married. "Fine then. I will. And EVEN on vacation!" She said and stormed off to the guest room. "Mariam," I said, knocking on the door which she locked.

Ugh, I couldn't BELIVE him.
After I made sure he was asleep, I went back into our room and slept on our bed.
In the morning when we woke up, his face lit up and he tried to hug me but I slipped out of his grip. We made sure to wake up early because of our flight. I already told friends and family about my pregnancy, so I decided to listen to their voice recorded messages while I made myself some yogurt and granola with some berry and fruit chunks. "I love you so much and I hope that this baby will be just as pretty as you!" One message said. "AHHHHH! You'll be AWESOME parents Inshallah!" Another said. I sighed to myself. "Want some breakfast?" I asked Marwan, blankly. "Nah, I'll just make it myself. But thanks." He said, touching my tummy, trying to talk to the baby I think. I moved away. "Mariam you can't ignore me forever." He groaned. "Well make time for me." I shot back. "I DO!" He exclaimed. "Whatever. We got a flight to catch." I said wrapping my Hijab around my head. On the way there, I called Mama. I missed my family so much.
At the hotel, tbh we were just quiet, watching Sister Sister. Ngl I missed talking to him💕. But he never made time for me and always got mad...Fine, well just this time. I got a text from Dalia.

*AT THE BEACH*
"Look baby, I'm sorry...It's just that my Boss stressed me out by overloading me with work...I told him that I was on a Vay-Cay, but he didn't listen and I got mad." Marwan said, rubbing my hand. We were drinking milkshakes rn. "You could have just told me. Also, plz make more time for me Marwan..." I started. I wanted to cry. "Of course Babe. Let's make a Youtube video for our channel. I know how much you love it." He smiled. "Hey guys! So, it's our first video!" I sqwealed. "I'm so excited to be travelling the world with my girl." Marwan said, getting up. I looked at him like 'why are you getting up' and he quickly pecked my lips and ran off. I chased him and I fell, dropping my phone. "You dropped the camera." I laughed. We published the video and headed back to the hotel.
I walked into the washroom, getting into the new outfit I got:
I put my hair up in a messy bun. I pecked his cheek and we both flopped on our bed. "What do you want to watch?" He asked me. "Meh, I lowkey wanna get to bed. We've got a BIG day tomorrow." I yawned. "Kay I'll go to bed too." Marwan said, turning his lamp off. Ugh, I luv this guy. He's my universe💖.

The Youngest Divinity
The continent of Vaine is a place of technological and magical might. It is the pinnacle of human brilliance, and is more powerful than it has ever been—truly approaching a never-before-seen golden age of magic. But what if that was all a lie? Dominic, shipwrecked and confused, wakes up one day on the shore of a continent which shouldn't be there. No maps in Vaine show it; no sailors have ever reached it; as far as anybody knows, the continent of Hesia does not and has never existed. In the last thousand years, no one has left, and no one has made it in. And on this hidden continent, he finds demons—a race of people who are far more adept at magic than humans. As Dominic uncovers the lost history of the two lands, he must come face to face with kings, mages, gods, and the dark past of the most powerful organization in Vaine, which has long done everything it possibly could to keep those skeletons buried. And they're not the only ones who can keep a secret. YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS IF: ↠ You like long-running fantasy stories with an intrigue/mystery focus. The world is vast and full of secrets—and our main character is not one to tell. Be careful what you believe, because Dominic himself might be the one lying to you. ↠ You enjoy decisive protagonists that don't have qualms about what tactics solving some problems may require. ↠ You like dragons. I like dragons. By the gods, there will be dragons. AUTHOR'S NOTES: ↠ This is not a webtoon. I only draw illustrated chapters for the prologues to each book and for the side stories at the end of each book. All drawings including covers are done by me. ↠ Release schedule is 2 chapters per week, every Wednesday and Saturday at 3:15PM CST. ↠ Up to 8 advanced chapters (4 weeks of releases) are available on Patreon.
