Mut: Ah man, even though the exact details of when we first met are a bit blurry, I can never forget how our friendship just blossomed over the years.
Baasit: From those random sightings at the mosque and me spying on you during NUGA to us becoming really good friends.
Mut: We had our peaks and dips for sure over those 8 years, but that warm relationship was always there.
Baasit: Yeah, even when things dialled down a notch here and there, that warmth never left.
Mut: So, when you finally came through saying you’ve caught feelings and you want to marry me, saying yeah let’s go there felt so right!

How did we meet? Baasit's POV
Baasit: I can't pinpoint exactly when we first met, but I vividly remember the first time I noticed you around the central mosque. Our official first encounter was when you came with Wura to see daddy at the house. I led everyone in Maghrib prayer that evening, reciting Surah Qiyamah.
After that, we didn't meet for a while, but my sister and cousin would mention you occasionally. The next time I really noticed you was during the 2014 NUGA games on campus. While resting in daddy’s office, I’d spy on you from the window, noticing your arrival and leaving times for prayers. I'd just make Tasleem without saying more....

How did we meet? Baasit's POV contd..
I got your number from someone and texted you, properly introducing myself and expressing my desire to be friends. You quizzed me about how I got your number😂.
I remember your phone got spoilt shortly after we started talking and I helped you get it fixed. Our talks grew more frequent, and I started sending you daily brain teasers after noticing you enjoyed them. I subscribed to a site that sent in a daily brain teaser. Oh Loord finished man from way back😂. At the start of our friendship, I found it difficult calling you by name due to the esteem I held you in. Then, after 8-ish years of friendship,I came out with my full chest to say I like you I want to marry you.. and here we are.

How did we meet? Mut's POV
Mut: It's hard to follow up that sweet, detailed rendition. I do remember key things like seeing you around the central mosque, you messaging me, and the phone incident during NUGA. What I don't recall are the exact details of how we initially met.
However, I vividly remember how, in a short span, we became good friends - a helpful, supportive friend I was free with and could always talk to. There's hardly any friend of mine that didn't/doesn't know about you because of how much you had shown up as a good friend and how much I had raved about my friend Baasit😅. When I sent our save the date to my Ustadhaa, she was like I know this name from your WhatsApp updates when you were in school.

I meeeann, you even had your own mini paragraph in my post med school appreciation post.
When I think of how we met and our years of interaction, I think of your kind, supportive, enduring presence through it all. Over the 8 plus years of friendships, sure there were peaks and dips, there were times we were really good friends and there were times it relegated to the background and we were not more than warm acquaintances, however the good relationship was always there.
And when you came to say you like me , you want to marry me, the yes didn't take too long to come nor was it hard to say
