《Keeping It Halal》Our Time
Advertisement
"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:
(With matching Hijab n head piece over Hijab)

Brides Maids outfit:
(Matching Hijab)
"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💖.

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.

The Periplus of Hanno

Hanno, King of Carthage, has just lost his queen, and the Council of Elders threatens to take his throne. In order to preserve his dynasty, Hanno must take the Libyan citizens of over-crowded Carthage on a journey West, beyond the fabled Pillars of Hercules, and to the uncharted African continent below. There, he will encounter terrible beasts, hidden magic, and legendary titans. But the Council of Elders refuses to just let him succeed, and threatens to unite with the powerful forces of this unknown land, and halt the Periplus of Hanno.
