Dear Natalie

Oh I get it, Natty: that boy is madly in love with you.  It's so obvious!  He's not the only one, I'm afraid.  There are countless more hiding out of your sight who have the same feelings for you.  I warned you about this.  What I want you to do is put a ring on the ring finger of your left hand (I will repay you inshaAllah), and tell him (and others) that you are engaged to be married.  Since this is true, there should be no guilt or deception in your heart about this.  Show them this letter if you must.  For heaven's sake, hide your beauty!  When you are around boys, wear loose jeans and T-shirt/sweatshirt.

But the real issue is that you are sexually aroused.  Can you hold your lust in until we are married?  Marriage is serious business, Natty.  If you make just ONE mistake in the matter of chastity, then I cannot marry you.  Since this is a marriage in the Public Eye, you won't be able to hide the mistake.  Everyone will know.  People reading this will laugh, but it's not a joke.  Lust is blood.  Lust creates children, so lust is blood.  What you need is to be married.  Talk to your Mom about this matter, whether you should keep my commitment to you (and yours to me), or go ahead and give in to your lust ASAP.  She would probably tell you that you have earned enough money by yourself and will earn more money by yourself and that you don't need me.  If this is true, then you have nothing to worry about.  But if it is not true, then I cannot endorse you if you are not my wife.

What I want you to do is stay away from boys!  Hold your lust in, keep your chastity, and wait until we are married.  We will marry, inshaAllah.  Have faith in us.  Pray.


Hi Honey

How are you feeling today?  Is everything going nice and easy for you?  I hope it is so.  Nothing special to report today, just keeping the same routine, and doing my best to be good at it.  I don't normally do crime busting analyses like yesterday.  I'm just trying to master the Qur'an, that's all.  I did harvest some mangoes today.  So many army ants!  I made an extra long noose on a bamboo pole to pull the fruit down from the high branches.  A wire noose is much lighter than a hook, so I can use the pole with one hand.  I can't let the fruit hit the stone, though.  It will smash or split, and become useless.  I will be breaking fast with ramen noodles today.  Oh, I miss my daily bowl of ramen so much!  I'll be having that, and ripe mangoes.  Yum!  Alhamdulillah.

Hi Natty Honey!  How's it going in your world today?  Please have tons of fun.  Take care of your precious body, and don't forget to pray.  I know you don't like people gossiping about you, but nowadays they are simply talking about how beautiful you are.  And you are!  Just be cool, stay humble.
