" Alyshia ! Please ,  Alyshia ! " Khadijah begged on her knees in the shopping mall we were in . I chuckled behind my black veil and held onto my stomach to stop my laughter , "Khadijah oh Khadijah ... control your adab (manner) , yes ? "

          My fellow cousin stood up and looked at me with her sparkling hazel eyes under the scorching sun . She grabbed my shoulder tightly and whispered , " Alyshia please ? Accompany me to the concert ! It is TVXQ 's first concert here in Egypt . I REALLY want to meet them ! " I looked away and sat on a near by bench . " Let me think about this first , Khadijah . "

           The concert will be on the night after . Oh Allah ...  i do not know what to do !

         When i got home after the outing with Khadijah , i crawled into my bed . Should i accompony her ? or should i not ? i could not make up my mind . After toss and turns , I took my phone from my bag and dialled Khadijah's number . I then put the phone against my ear . "Trutt Trutt . Trutt Trutt . " the phone rang .

          Khadijah answered my call . " Assalamu 'Alaikum ( Peace be upon you ) ! " she shrieked her first hello . " Will you be there ? the concert ? "

             " I'm not sure , Khadijah . Islam does not advice Muslims to attend these types of events ... "

                " That i know , Alyshia . But cousin , It's not like I will be partying there ! "

             " Oh Allah , Khadijah ! think of Allah , Ya Bint ( Oh girl ) ! Religion comes first ! Islam ! "

             " But ... " I heard her disappointed voice through the phone . " I really want to go there ... I really do . I've been a fan of thiers since my first day here in Egypt , Alyshia . It's been years and you know that , " she continued .

                     " Please , Alyshia .  "
