Blossom Marriage

I prayed Fajr prayer as I woke up in the morning. My family was awake except my father due to his heavy workload. "Assalamualekum, mummy. "I walked down the stairs as my mother was in the kitchen, making breakfast. "Walekumasalam. Fatima. "She looked back and greeted as I kissed her on her cheeks. "Need some help? "I asked. My mum shook her head and answered," I'm done with everything, just take the plates out. "

We live in England, known as the United Kingdom. London was a beautiful place for people to live in but I would like to travel around the world as well. Inshalla, and I have been to The United States and Canada with my family for vacations. I was born and raised here with my elder brother, Faizan. He's married to a beautiful lady, Amina, who has black eyes, different from my brother and mines as we both have grey eyes.

"Our lazy bone is helping? "When Faizan came home from Masjid, he saw me with Amina helping mum and then teased me. "Everyday! "I do this every day but he teases me every day. I just get mad at him whenever he does that. They still treat me as a kid. He came towards us and hugged Amina but I said," Breakfast is ready, let's go. "I held Amina out him and pulled her gently to the dining table.

"That's unfair, she's mine.” He walked behind us and wanted to hold her back to himself. "Na, not in the morning."I fought back and smiled. Amina was a girl who loved us as much as her own family. She was willing to accept everything and didn't regret about our family.

"Fatima, your brother needs me later so take me if you want for a while only. "She supported me and I smiled. "Okay, I lose "he finally gave up, sitting next to his love.

"Assalamualekum "my father greeted as he walked towards the dining table, I kissed his cheeks before sitting and greeted back. We ate breakfast quietly and I rushed to get change before going to work. I was wearing jeans and shirt which were both in black and heels. Of course, a black and silver hijab as my heels were silver.

I got the black coat and car keys as my dad gifted me a BMW at my last birthday. I kissed my mum before leaving the house and greeted them. My work was in an office as a design manager and the company I work for was my dad's friend. I call him daddy, as he admires me more than his own son. I drove myself to the office

but I felt the atmosphere a bit different than before. The front desk was having tight and short clothes on like they are in the club and their fingers painted.

"Fatima! "I was about to enter the lift when I saw Lena. A British girl who respects me and is my personal secretary. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and was too beautiful to be described. "In a hurry? "I pressed the lift and went straight up to 29th floor. "No, I have to tell you some good news. "She hugged me tightly and said. "our new boss will be here. "

Yes, our new boss so that's why everything is a bit different. As rumor had spread in our office that the new boss is young and single. But mostly is because he is handsome and well-built but he's Muslim like me as well.

"Okay. "I just said, she looked at me weirdly. "Aren't you excited? "She asked and I cocked my head to the side, "I mean, our new handsome boss." We reached our floor and got out of the lift.

I shook my head, "okay. My secretary, please arrange my day and forget about all those stuffs. "I said, heading to my office. "There will be a special meeting today at 9:00" she told me, heading my files. I nodded. Probably, the new boss is here, meetings will be a must. Hope day will go well. Inshalla.

I opened the laptop in front of me and took out my phone and It was 9:00 already, Oh my Allah! I quickly headed to the meeting room at the 28th floor and I was late. There sat everyone and looking at me. I went to my seat as I lowered my gaze. Syed Ahmed was at the seat and I was the only female in a top position. "Let us get started." I kept my gaze low and noted some points about meetings.

"Next, Fatima, our design manager. "His secretary called, "yes. " I looked up but was not meeting his eyes. "Meet me after the meeting. "It was him speaking. His voice was cold as ice. As his face was holding no expression. "So, today's meeting is until here, next meeting will be next week. "His secretary ended the meeting.

I was still sitting in my position, "I want your team to design something unique. "He said but not looking at me. His voice was softer now as everyone has left. "Yes. "I replied. "How long do you take? "We've designers which take just a month only. " I was nervous and my voice was shaking.

A lady shouldn't be in a room along with a guy.

"Yes, and I need it to be ready in two weeks' time," he said. I nodded as I left the meeting room quickly and went back to my office room. I was waiting for the lift

when he came and stood next to me. I wanted to move and take the stairs but he called. "How are your parents? "I cleared my throat and answered, "They are fine." "Faizan got married a few months ago, I was sorry about not being at the ceremony." He then said.

"Please sent my apology to him. " I nodded and the lift came, I went in first and he followed. I was about to press the lift but our fingertips met in the air. I quickly stood at the back and looked to the ground. I was blushing when I walked back to my room. I called both designers to design under the theme -Blossom flower - About three dresses each.
