fight for your right

on thursday evening, we all went over to mona’s house for dinner and just to chill out. she’s like the mama who feeds you delicious home cooked desi meals. plus, she’s like the nicest person on the planet, masha’Allah. for example, she will take time off of class to take care of friends who are sick and cook for them and take them places and pick others up from the airport and host huge eid parties, etc. the list goes one. plus, she makes the best chocolate chocolate chip muffins. mmmm! i’m starting to salivate just thinking about them.

mona’s husband is into marial arts and has boxing gloves and shields and all that stuff. nadiya wanted to learn some self defense moves so mona said she would show her some. out came the gloves. as nadiya started to put them on, i felt inspired to let out some long repressed aggression. i put on the other pair of gloves and told nadiya i wanted to box her. but poor girl...she was so frightened by me and ran off hiding behind the sofas. i chased after her and started pounding her. i thought to myself, ‘hey! it’s a lot of fun beating the crap out of people!’ after i knocked out a few of her teeth, she managed to get away from me just in time to tag naveed. you see, i was a one man band and nadiya, naveed and asmah were a tag team. so naveed prepared to fight me. i was kinda nervous ‘cause she likes to bully me around. but that didn’t stop me! i gave her some upper cuts and jabs and she ended up with a black eye and bloodied nose. it felt so good to beat her up and to finally get my revenge. she started crawling towards asmah to tag her. by this time, i was on an adrenaline high. i was bouncing around punching jabs into the air waiting for asmah to fight me. she proved to be the most aggressive one from her team and put up a strong fight. a couple of hooks here and jabs there didn’t do the trick. so i added some kicks and she flew to the wall matrix style. that ended my fight with her. once again, tharwa, warrior princess emerged as the champion!
