You wake up startled, looking at the watch; afraid that you'll be late. Sighing in relief you start preparing yourself. He's waiting for you. Splashing cold water on your face, you re-energise yourself. Get a hold on yourself, you need to look and feel great. Staring at your reflection, giving yourself a once-over, you smile. Decent. There were times that you were late and for most of it you cried, afraid that you have disappointed the one you love. But now you want to be on time. There's a chance! You need to prove that you're willing to do anything. Love can get to such an extent, right? That dawning realisation seems to motivate you further. Yes you are ready for your date now. With the ambience beckoning to be gratified, you have never felt more at peace. And then you begin praying. A date with Allah in the last third of the night.. as the rest of the world begins to fade.
