《Falling For A Hijabi (part 1 And 2)》chapter 23 The prom
Advertisement
The prom is going to take place in two weeks, I told my mother I don't want to go.
" Mum, I'm not going, proms are not for hijabis, plus I don't have any friends " I said.
" Look me in the eyes and tell me it's not about James " she said.
" And I don't want to see him " I said In surrender.
" Jannah, my baby, look, prom is once in a lifetime experience, when you reach my age, you will look back at all the opportunities you missed to have fun, and you will regret it " she explained warmly.
" Mum, when I reach your age, I'll be too old to think about proms " I said.
I didn't think about what came out of my mouth.
" Jannah, what did you say?!! I'm too old " she said narrowing her eyes.
" Oh, I mean, I'll be too busy to think about proms " I said mentally facepalming myself.
" Jannah, you are going, end of discussion " my mum said leaving the room.
Now, I'll have to face James, something I have been running from this whole time.
The day before the prom, my mum came into the room with a dress in her hands.
" Ta Da, your dress " she said happily.
I looked at it and it was absolutely breathtaking.
" Mum, woww, that's really beautiful " I said in amazement.
It was a two part dress, the upper part was white, and the skirt was pink , I loved it, but I still had a question.
" But how..how did you afford it ??!!, It looks really expensive " I asked.
" Your brother bought it for you, it's his treat, he is trying to make it up to you for all the past years " she said.

" Oh, Mum " I said hugging her.
On the morning before the prom,I was really nervous, I put on my dress, with a light peige chiffon scarf to go with, I wore very light natural looking makeup, my mum wanted me to put any golden accessories but I declined
" Mum, it's America, people wear diamonds and silver, not gold" I explained.
My brother came to pick me up,
" My princess " he said.
" Ah, not you too " I complained.
When we reached the hotel where the prom is held,
" Here you go, enjoy " my brother said.
" Thank you for everything Hassan " I said hugging him.
" No, thank you, you made me return to the path of Allah again " he said with tears in his eyes.
" Oh my big brother is crying " I said giggling.
" Now, go enjoy " he said kicking me out of the car.
" You know I'm not pretty much the type that know how to enjoy themselves " I explained.
" Just try, by the way I'm picking you up at 10 " he said smiling.
We said our goodbyes, and he left.
I looked at the entrance to the party, and I was about to turn back and run, I mean me in a prom, come on?!!!
I went inside the hotel, the prom was being held in the first floor, still I had to climb many stairs.
There were some students at the entrance organising the event, I gave them my ticket, and they gave me the looks.
" What the hell is that terrorist doing here ?!!" I heard the students whispering.
Inside Everybody was dancing even the teachers and the principals,
" I used to respect them until I saw them dance " I said to myself.

I noticed that the nerds of the school weren't there, like Artemis.
" I guess I'm the only nerd in the place " I said to myself.
I sat in a corner of the room, alone as usual, I was having fun watching everybody happy, until I saw James approaching, he was weraing a suit that brought out his oceanic blue eyes.
" The woman that will marry him will be very lucky " I said to myself.
I didn't know how to react, so I decided to leave, I almost ran, I was on the stairs when I heard him say.
" Jannah, wait " he said.
" What do you want?!! " I said giving my back to him.
" Are you gonna run like Cinderella?!!, it's not twelve yet." He said.
" It's not about the time " I said.
" No, I know it's about me, do you really think that running away is gonna solve the problem " he said.
" No, but at least it will, help us forget " I explained facing him.
" No, it won't, I can't, and I don't want to forget about you " he said angerily.
" It won't work James, you know that pretty well " I said.
" I know, but I can't " he said in a sad tone.
" No you can, just try harder " I said leaving.
" How can I forget about my world, you are my world jannah, I have never felt that I belong to anybody before, but with you it's different, I belong to you, Jannah " he said with all the truthfulness in the world.
I was taken aback by his words, I tried my best to gather my courage.
" James, your world is your world, you are a Wayne, remember, you belong to the extravagant world where people live in mansions, and eat caviar everyday " I shouted at him.
" And I've never felt that I belonged there before " he said looking into my eyes.
" That's why I didn't want to come today " I said leaving him.
" No, because you are afraid of facing your feelings " he said challenging me.
" Yes, I love you James, but I love Allah more, and if I have to choose between you and Allah, I'll choose Allah over you a billion times " I said sternly.
James didn't know what to say for about five minutes,
" Jannah, there is something you need to know " he said.
That's when we heard screaming and shots fired.

You should die and do me a favour!'I shield my face, making him more furious. He stopps slapping and I had only few seconds to catch my breath when he kicked my wounded ribs from previous beatings. I screamed, thinking it was loud enough, but was just an feeble attempt to stop Aadil.

It's repeating all over again, and this time I may not survive to escape.I was taken back in time. I feel I am back at that hostage room and me escaping to get out of this country is failing miserably. I mumbled with the little energy I held, 'Mum, Dad, please stop...'But again, it was of no use, as my vision is displaying full of colourful, dancing dots. My breathing is becoming frantic every second, trying not to pass out, but it seems my body doesn't want to keep up with all of this. If this is really my ending, so be it. With that thought, the peace that I always imagined is starting to consume me. This is the end for me. I can finally rest peacefully.The sound of Aadil's voice coming from a wide distance somehow is keeping me awake. Wasn't he by my side? Maybe, maybe he realized how wrong he was all this time. Maybe, just maybe...His voice, that's filled with agony, whispers in a forlorn voice 'I'm sorry Hayati. Please stay alive. Don't leave me...'___________________#9 in spiritual ( 29th October 2017)#6 in spiritual (10th December 2017)#5 in spiritual (11th December 2017)
