Yasir's room had been meticulously cleaned from top to bottom.His mother had ensured that not even an inch was left out.She just wanted everything to be perfect because Yasir was finally bringing his bride rather her daughter home.

Not that she did not consider Zulekha as her daughter but Yumnah's decison to stay back at the Hosseini mansion had made her more happy than anyone else.She had always craved for a woman's company and now Alhamdullilah she was finally going to get it.She was sure that her and Yumnah were going to get along just fine.

As soon as the doorbell rang she rushed to the door much to their butler's surprise and immediately engulfed Yumnah in a large motherly hug.

"Asalam aleikum my children."

"Waleikum salam Mama," they both replied in unison.

Yasir heart warmed up as soon as he heard his wife call his mother Mama.He knew very well that his mother would be overjoyed just by hearing that.

"Yumnah, MashAllah you look so pretty, did Yasir take good care of you?"

"Psssssht, she should be asking me that, i almost lost my life yesterday, "muttered Yasir but still loud enough for Yumnah to hear who sent him a glare in return.

"Come in my dear, we have so much to talk about and wait till i show you Yasir's baby pictures.You will adore...," his mother began ranting as she pulled Yumnah into the house leaving poor Yasir behind.

Yasir smiled to himself.He was glad his two favourite women were getting along but seriously, did they both just forget him?

Wow.

"Sir,would you like some help to come in?" asked their butler he too smiling at Mrs.Hosseini's antiques.

"No Henry, il manage.Thank you."

He slowly made his way over to where they were and inwardly cringed when he heard his Mama tell Yumnah about how he lost his first milk teeth.

Seriously?Who even discusses that phase?

"Ah, Yasir my boy, there you are."

Yeah, about time.

"Take Yumnah to you're room dear.Wait let me call Henry to help you."

Yumnah immediately placed her hand over Mama's to stop her.

"No Mama, its okay.Yasir knows where it is, il help him," she said smiling.

"Of course my dear," said their mother tears glistening in her eyes.Seems like Yasir would not be needing much of Henry anymore.

She watched as Yumnah helped her son up the stairs at the same time not missing how Yasir had tightly entwined their hands as if his life depended on it.

Seemed like her son had found his soulmate.

But then again, what about her other son?

********

Yumnah was immediately awed by the grandness of Yasir's room.A few changes had been made from what she could remember but all in all it was magnificent.Butterflies crept up her stomach when she realised it was now her room as well.This was where she would spend most of her time with him.

"The bathroom is to the left, and there is a balcony on the right.I hope you like it Yumnah," he said as he pulled her to sit next to him on the large bed.

"It actually hasn't changed much," she whispered.

"What? Have you been to my room before Yumnah," he asked his heart suddenly beginning to beat wildly.No woman had ever entered his room before or had she come over when he was studying in London?

"I have Habibi,but i never got the chance to come inside.I would only see it from the door."

Yasir was now more confused.Why had she never come in?Why didn't he remember anything?

"But why didn't you come in?"

"Because Hisham would always chase me away," she replied frowning.

"What?why would he do that and when did you come?I can't remember."

"I used to come with my Papa and Mama when i was small but Hisham never let me enter you're room."

Yasir frowned as he tried to remember and immediately palmed his face when realisation dawned on him.

"Ya Rabb.Don't tell me you are stupid Yusra?" he exclaimed.

"Stupid who?"

"Stupid Yusra," he replied laughing.

"Well guessing from how our names are almost similar i think thats me and let me guess, Hisham is the one who named me?" she asked she too smiling.

"He did."

This Hisham...

Flashback...

Little Yumnah happily skipped up the grand stairs of the Hosseini mansion not knowing that one day in the future,she would be married to a Hosseini and that she would be living in the very same house.

She slowly made her way to Yasir's room from where she could hear both their voices.She stood near the door frame and luckily for her Yasir was the one facing her while the other boy, whose name was Akhi ,had his back towards her.

They were playing snakes and ladders today and how she wished that she could join them but she knew that Akhi would not allow it.She scrunched her little nose.She didn't like Akhi at all.He always chased her away but she liked Yasir.They were even friends but then he had never come back to school again.But why?

"Oh noooo.Not again," whined Hisham as he stood up.

"What is it Akhi? Did the snake eat you again?"

"No bro, its that stupid Yusra again.She is peeping at us through the door."

"Oh.Why don't you let her come in then?Maybe she just wants to play," said Yasir.

"No,this is a bros' room, girls are not allowed," said Hisham as he made his way towards her.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo," said Hisham to Yumnah.

Yumnah stared at the older boy with wide eyes.Okay wait, why was he chasing her away as if she was a cat?Like seriously?

Hisham sighed after not getting any reaction from her.He quickly held her hand and began taking her back.

"But i want to play Akhi," she said.

"I am not you're Akhi.Call me Hisham."

"Okay but i want to play with Yasir.He is my friend.I even gave him choc..."

Hisham stared at stupid Yusra in disbelief.Her? Yasir's friend?Yeah right!Since when?

"Girls and boys are not allowed to play together," he said frowning.Wallahi this girl was annoying and why did she always want to play with Yasir?

"Why?"

"Because its haram," he said having brought her halfway down the stairs already.

"Then why are you holding my hand?"she asked cheekily showing off her perfect set of milk teeth.

Hisham immediately let go off her hand as if it was some sort of plague.

"Now go to you're Mama," he said walking back.

Yumnah silently watched him as he went back.And that became norm, whenever she went to the Hosseini Mansion to play, Hisham would always drag her back downstairs.

Yasir too never got to know who she really was because he only knew her as....

Stupid Yusra.

******

Yasir laughed as he pulled her to his chest.He still couldn't believe it.It would have been really amazing if they had gotten a chance to play together.But guess it was all part of Qadr.

Their Qadr.

"I am so sorry Stupid Yusra, i mean Yumnah," he said still laughing.

"Yassiiiir," she whined as she snuggled closer into his chest listening to his erratic heartbeat.

He circled his arms tightly around her and they stayed that way for a long time both laughing at their distant cute memory.

Yasir couldn't wait to tell Hisham that Stupid Yusra was back.

But this time she wasn't back as the little girl who came to play.
