A Short Piece

"Lower your gaze". She muttered. 

She had just seen him across the other side of the busy way. She had noticed him instantly. His features, his whole package appealed to her. Her breath hitched almost making her choke .

"Lower your gaze" she said again quietly.

But she was doing the exact opposite. She stole a few glances at him until she was caught. They locked eyes for a few seconds. For that brief moment it was as ifthe world stood still for them. Their eyes exchanged a quick message. She flushed and quickly looked away.

Please forgive me ya Rabb. She said inwardly.

She looked up to find his eyes still on her. He smiled and waved. That simple gesture tugged at her heart but her heart began to hammer loudly into her ears when he walked towards her.

She began to panic.

Oh Allah, I'm in trouble. What have I done? What do I say? Should I just apologise and walk away?

As she was still thinking of what to do. He walked past her to the lady behind.

She was embarrassed.

"So, he didn't even notice me". She said sadly.

Though embarrassed she was relieved. She had only gotten herself worked up for nothing.
