The outing goes amazingly (Alt)

The outing was a small gathering for Muslim men and woman to come and mingle. While once something that would never happen in Cerulean City, these had become quite a popular gathering.

"My children are so cute." Maha thought as she watched Dima, Lina and Ghaliya interact with these wonderful men and women. While a part of the gym leader was expecting to need to **** her daughters into relationship. Thankfully, it was looking like such a worry was unfounded here.

"As-Salam-U-Alaikum."

Spinning around, Maha was treated to the presence of a Muslim woman. Doing her best to meet his gaze, a feeling of serenity came over the mother. Dressed in a similar fashion to her, there was something oddly charming about them. While she hadn't considered a woman before, there was always a chance... right?

"As-Salam-U-Alaikum." Maha greeted and met this possible suitor's gaze. A breeze with the small slit of her niqab. "Who do I have the pleasure of meeting?"

The woman chuckled.

"Abhar." the woman greeted and Maha nodded. Such a beautiful name. "I heard that you're the gym leader currently?"

Maha nodded.

"Yes. I am the acting gym leader in the wake of losing my husband and the current gym leader being gone." Maha answered, quite confident in her lie here. "What do you do?"

Abhar chuckled and brought a pokeball. Watching it open up, out came a Dewgong.

"Dewgong!" the seal pokemon announced, only to be returned to its ball right after. Then it's back over to Maha. Gazing directly into the gym leader's eyes, Maha felt her heart skip a beat.
