Last night as I was getting ready to observe Isha prayer, one of my cousin whose 8 years older than me( but doesnt look older, nor seems like there is a huge age gap between us, and is FIT) from my dad’s side called and asked me to get dressed and that too within an hour. I was shocked because he has never ever had the guts to call or ask me to go out despite him dropping me off from University to home and Home to University. I told him that there is an hour left for Isha prayer and that am not going anywhere untill I have observed my prayer. He told me not to worry because inshallah I will be offering the prayer soon. We argue over me observing prayer. He then called my mom and said “Aunty aap please Laraib ko tayar kerwa dain mai araha hoon isay pick kernay ke liay”.
My ammi came and told me to get ready. I was blank. I couldn’t believe my ammi agreed with him taking me out and accepted his invitation. ![]()
I didn’t abide by his rules, such as; wear kamiz shalwar because I struggle a lot with those clothing. So I wore western, and left. As I sat in his car, he began arguing with me. “Oh why did you wear these clothing, didn’t I tell you to wear kamiz shalwar, Jao ghar jaa ke change kro and then come” I got angry because I am like who is he to tell me what to do. Exactly who these guys think they are? Is it must to accept their wishes all the time? He called my ammi and told her “Aunty please make her wear kamiz shalwar”. So I gave up and got dressed in Pakistani style. I got back into the car and he gave me a smile. I felt like punching him so hard that for the rest of his life he’ll remember everything.
Within half an hour, we came across a masjid. Oh My Beloved God, it looked so beautifull. Mashallah!!!
I just couldn’t stop looking at it. I love Masjids. The scene taht I have seen just made me feel that I am in Saudi Arabia. We finally offered prayer. After the prayer he dropped me home without every saying salaam or Allah Hafiz.
Now he texts and messages me atleast 20 times in a week. My mom is always taking his side that he is right and Laraib is wrong. Whenever I log into my html, there is always atleast 5 to 6 emails from him, and acting like a pagal. And I just feel that he is just acting as same mens out there. I may be wrong, but this is why I have posted this question to get a broader point of view and fix my ghalt soch that i may have towards him. I just don’t want to be involved in something that I may not get in future, as some of the GS users posted on the “Multiple Crushes” thread “Why fall for something you may not have or you always fall for something that you could never get”
-
Why is he behaving like this?
-
He and I have known each other for atleast 9 years and we have never fought with each other, but what had happend yesterday just blew off everything?
-
Is he trying to win my heart?
-
Is he a farishta sent to me by Allah swt?
-
Is he trying to take my tense away and making me forget my past?
