Packing all the plates and spoons all together,Yusrah called out for Zarah to come and take it to the parlor,personally she loves cooking food but what she like the most is the appreciation she gets from her family.

She likes the way all of them keep hyping her cooking skills and it makes her do better everyday.

She walked to the parlor and served the golden yam to everyone then pour tea for them "So Yusrah,today no school you are just resting." Her father started a conversation smiling "Yes." She replied smiling at him.

"We really do need rest from all those tiring lectures." She sigh as she adjusted herself on the chair munching on her yam "But how do you find your lecturers?" Her father asked.

"They are so annoying,always giving a test after class,always giving assignment but the important thing is that they try,they try to make us understand well." She shrugged her shoulder and he father nodded his head smiling.

"What about guys? Do they follow you?" Usman asked which made Yusrah choke on her food,she coughed hard and Kabir passes her a cup of water dropping a sorry her way before going back to the couch he was sitting on.

Letting out a laugh her father smiled as Usman "So overprotective huh." He chuckled and nodded his head.

"Answer us." Kabir enquired "You don't have to worry about that,guys don't follow me." She gave a tight lipped smile to them.

They continued chit chatting till they finished their breakfast,all of them proceeded to their rooms to bath then rest.

After that Yusrah carried her phone and got to work,which is chatting.Her mother gave her the phone back after one dreadful week.

She had to keep apologizing to her everyday,she even served different kind of punishments.So much for having a very strict mother.

A call came through her phone and it was Quraish "Yusi,you are coming to my home birthday party right?" She asked.

"Am not sure,my parents won't allow me since it is in the night." Yusrah stated "You need to come,our click will be incomplete without you." She whined.

"Quraish,am so sorry."

"Please please come." She pleaded.

"I will see what I can do."

"Yay,okay bye see you." And she hanged up the call.

Quraish's birthday is today and she is going to celebrate it at home,her parents are not around and she is left all alone so she wants to have a home party with the click only.

Yusrah really wants to go to that party,she doesn't want to miss out on anything,all the plannings were done with her and it is sure gonna be an amazing night for them.

She have looked for 100 ways to go but none will work,her father will never allow her to spend the night at a friend's house no matter what the situation is.Especially now that she is staying for a party,he will definitely kill her if he hears this,but then she wants to enjoy herself too.

"What should I do?" She asked her self closing her face with her palms in exasperation.

An idea suddenly clicked into her brain,even if she doesn't get to attend the party,at least she can go to their house and wish her a happy birthday,it will surly make Quraish happy.

All she have to do now is come up with a good lie,which will make her father let her go without making a fuss over it.

She walked out of the room and went to her father's parlor,after greeting him she got to business "Baba,we are going to have a group discussion with my friends,we were given a presentation which is supposed to be submitted on Monday.So a friend volunteered that we do it in her house." She stopped to catch her breath,she feels like a thief,any small mistake she will be caught "Can I go?"

"Why can't you do it in school?"

"I don't know." She chewed on her lips.

"I will call Muhammad to come and take you,when will you be done?" Muhammad is her uncle and they call him Uncle Moh.

"Um maybe 6:00pm,the presentation is hard and it also contains many marks so we need to work hard for it." She swiftly lied and he nodded his head.

"Go and get ready before he comes." Her father dismissed and she went out with a happy okay.

"It worked." She squealed in extreme delight.

She walked to her mother's room with a huge smile on her face "Mama,am going for a group discussion." She informed "I have informed Baba and he said okay,for now am waiting for uncle Moh!" She exclaimed sitting down.

"Okay,take care." Her mother responded and she nodded her head before standing up and heading to her room to change her clothes,she changed into a sky blue abaya and wrapped a white veil on her head.

Spraying her perfume she went straight to the parlor to wait for him,in a few minutes he have already arrived and they both hit the road.

"Thank you,Uncle Moh." She smiled hopping off the car and he nodded his head,she looked at the house and she was awwed,it was a mansion!

She stood by the gate and the security was looking at her up and down "Who are you looking for?"

"Am looking for Quraish." She replied and he pressed his phone "Ms Quraish,someone is looking for you." He stated.

After a moment he looked at her "What is your name?" And she smiled "Yusrah."

"Go in." He instructed and she did,she saw her friends running to her so as to welcome her and she got more overwhelmed with he decision.

She also ran to them and they hugged each other happily with some muffled screams.

"Come on,let's go inside." Farida stated dragging Yusrah happily and she followed her with the same enthusiasm,after letting her eyes wander inside the beautiful parlor,Yusrah sat down "Let's start the party already,Baba is coming to pick me up by 6:00pm," She stated excitedly "We have to plan the games to do," She chuckled happily "OMG,it will be so fun and our pictures will be so fine,just take a look at the house," She let her eyes wander around the parlor again.

"Um so,truth or dare,never have I ever,would you rather," She kept quite thinking "Am out of games,give suggestions girls." She poked Latifa who whined.

"First of all calm down," Yasmin stated "Secondly,we thought you are here for a sleep over because we are going to have a night party." She finished relaxing her shoulders out of habit.

Yusrah processed the news first before giving a reaction "Why night party? You all know I can't stay right?"

Yusrah's mind went on a whirlwind as to how to convince them have the party now,but none of them was ready to hear her "Okay I give up,am not attending the party." Yusrah finalized as she sadly let her frown out.She was beyond sad over this but then it is what it is.

They had a little fun and it was 5:30pm already,which means she have only 30 minutes.

The clouds started gathering and it looked like it will rain,her father called her for the address saying that he doesn't want to drive while it is raining,because their is high possibility that it will rain hard.

She told him the address and slumped down on the chair "He is on his way." All her friends let out a sad sigh "I wish it rains so hard that your parents will not have any option but to let you stay here for the night." Quraish prayed "Amin." They all chorused loudly.

After some minutes the rain started intensifying and Yusrah couldn't be happier,her phone rang and it was her father "Hello Yusrah,hang in there okay. I will come and pick you up later when the rain suffice..." The network went off at that moment but Yusrah didn't care.

All she felt was pure bliss!

She shouted happily as she jumped with her friends "I will get to stay!" She exclaimed and they hugged each other happily dancing.

"Night party,here we come!!!!!!!!" They shouted then let out a laugh.

After praying maghrib,snack were bought,cakes and drinks "Thank God the delivery was successful though." Quraish voiced out smiling.All them were worried that the delivery won't take place due to the heavy rain.

"Luck is just on our side today." Yasmin stated and all them nodded their heads.

Music was turned on and they all moved swiftly to the beat.Yusrah turned when she heard different voices and she found 3 guys smiling at them.They held a box which Yusrah thinks is Quraish's gift from them.

"They are the "3 mean but cute's boy friends." so don't worry." They still call them the "Mean but cute" but for now that isn't even the case "You said it was only us!" She exclaimed "Sorry,we let you out on this.But hey,it is not so serious." Farida nudged her shoulders.

"It is serious,we are here alone with guys.Am scared okay." Yusrah shivered as different thoughts kept creeping into her mind.

"It is fine,we know them."

"I know the back ground am from.Am not used to all this!" Yusrah stated shaking her head.

"Stop being a scaredy cat and have fun." Farida laughed it off.

After a while,two guys walked in "Another one! Am done for!" Yusrah said under her breath "That is Tahir Farida's boy friend,wow he even came along with a friend.Well that is nice,now Yusrah also have a partner." Yusrah rolled her eyes as she eye Latifa who was laughing.

Snack were served by Yasmin and then drinks by Latifa.Yusrah took a sip and nearly spit it out "This is bitter." She scrunch up her face and Quraish chuckled.

"You are too old fashioned," She stated rolling her eyes "Just drink." She finished "Am not."

"Then drink." Quraish dared her and she kept drinking,cup after cup till her whole stomach was filled.

"That is more like it." Quraish laughed and Yusrah rolled her eyes.

She started feeling dizzy after some seconds,it seemed like she was intoxicated.

"Yusrah,come and escort him to the room,he wants to use the toilet." She heard Farida voice as she dragged her in front of a handsome guy whose head was hung low.

She took him to the room and pointed at the bathroom to him.She was going out but he dragged her and hugged her tightly.

"My life is so messed up." He stated as his tears dropped on her shoulder.

"It is fine." She patted his shoulder trying to console him.

"Am so broken." He whispered and she patted his shoulder.

She knew that it was wrong.She was hugging a non mehram,she knew it was wrong when he kissed her forehead and she knew it was wrong when he led her to the bed.

She knew it was wrong,her heart was telling her it was wrong but her brain and were saying other wise.

That was how she ended up sleeping with a complete stranger whom she doesn't know!

There goes Yusrah's biggest mistake!
