As soon as Aysha left, Zynah walked back into the house, her heart heavy. She picked up her phone, her fingers hovering over Ramlah's number. As if sending her intention, Ramlah's call came through. Zynah heaved a sigh of relief before answering. "Hello, Ramlah, how are you doing? I was just about to call you."

"Really? That is to say we're thinking about each other. I'm fine. How about you? How are the kids?"

"They are both fine, Alhamdulillah. How's my little princess doing? I'm sure she's as impatient as we all are to see our little prince."

Ramlah chuckled. "I also can't wait to hold him in my arms, ya Zynah. It's taking too long."

"Three more weeks and your wish will come true," Zynah said, a smile spreading across her face.

"You're right. Thank you for always lifting my spirit with your words. I want to visit Mom and Dad soon. How about we go together, with the kids?"

"That's a good idea. The kids haven't seen one another for a while now," Zynah reasoned. "It'd be fun."
