------------ Los Angeles, California.
------------------------A month and two weeks later( UCLA, Department of Business Administration)
I took a deep breath as I walked down the stairs to the front stage of the class. A lot had happened that made me reach here today. A month passed by so quickly with me living my life gracefully. I never thought my life was ever going to be this great. Each day was filled with amazing memories, all thanks to my husband and his family and friends that became my friends. Even though I didn't really get a clue or a lead on my real parents, I bore in mind that Allah's timing was always the best.
Khalid and I were doing pretty much great and I managed to make him watch some sermons by Mufti Menk and Bilal Philips on YouTube. I was glad that he wasn't pushing my efforts away and was making an effort to see the right path and fully accept it. That was my goal. Forcing him to convert was just going to be a plain waste of tim
--------------- Los Angeles, California.--------------------------- Night before Convocation and oath taking( Faryah and Khalid's new home).I giggled as he blindfolded me as we stopped on the road. " I really don't understand why you have to do this Khalid" I said with a giggle and inhaled the pleasant scent of the blind fold. " Don't worry, I'll take it off soon, it's just for a little while" he answered as he placed a kiss on my cheek and I felt the car move again.GrandPa and Ummi couldn't make it to my convocation. But they planned on coming the day after the grand launch. I missed them so much. Firdaus was coming along too. I really couldn't wait to see her change. Raihanna was in Indonesia, she couldn't make it too, she was graduating a week after me." Where are you taking me to?" I asked as he continued driving. " Somewhere special. You'll like it, don't worry. Just be p
-------------Los Angeles, California.------------------------- Graduation and Oath taking afternoon( Olyster residence)4:30pmI was so tired from all the picture taking and the lunch Mama Zainab prepared for all us. I met Khalifa's sister Aneesah and his mother, Arafah. His mother was Raihannah's maternal aunt. Ethan, Sandra and some other friends of mama Zainab, Papa Brandon and GrandPa joined us for the family lunch earlier. I ate to my fullest and here I was tired. Khalid had to go over to the office and the event centre to make sure everything was set for the Grand launch tomorrow.I threw myself on my bed after I helped Mama Zainab and the maids clear and wash the dishes. I changed out of my palazzo and looked at my first class degree award. I was happy at the way my name was boldly written in calligraphy. I was going to make a photocopy of this and frame it. I kept the original certific
--------------Los Angeles, California.--------------------------Ritz-Carlton hotel." Sophia Olyster"She announced and the crowd applauded. Yayy, the attention wasn't going to be on me anymore. The crowd's applause grew louder and screams too. She deserved the award. But I really didn't see the need of doing this, no one needs a reward for being beautiful. The tiara and sash were placed on Sophia as she smiled widely. She wanted this. She was given a plaque too as the lady in pink put tiny tiara's on my head and a sash round my body." Ohh...I don't know what to say, I am really grateful for this award and I really do appreciate it. This was really unexpected and I honestly thought that my sister-in-law was going to be the one to get the award, but I am sincerely grateful to everyone here, I am glad to call UCLA my home, it was my home for five years, and UCLA is a school to be in
---------------Los Angeles, California.-------------------- Olyster Residence ( Morning of Grand Launch and Zainab's Birthday)" Happy Birthday to youHappy Birthday to youHappy BirthdayHappy BirthdayHappy Birthday to you" We all sang as we walked into Mother's room with birthday hats and a small cheese cake with tiny candles on top. Brandon was carrying her breakfast tray, with oatmeal, eggs and sausages, waffles, pancakes and syrup and coffee. " Happy Birthday Mother" Sophia said as she hugged her. " Blow out your candle now, I really want to taste this cheese cake. Khalid made it for you" GrandPa said and I blushed a little. No one could deny that I was a great chef. " oh really, bring it here" Mother said as I came closer to her. " Make a wish Mother" I said as she closed her eyes for some seconds and finally blew off the candles. " Yayy, Happy
-------------Los Angeles, California---------------------Taglyan Complex." Faryah, excuse me, I want to use the restroom" I really needed to ease my self. The chilli caused it. " Okay" She answered as I got up from our table. Sophia and Ethan were eating too. But GrandPa, Mother and Brandon were still moving around, making sure their guests were okay. The event was going to end very soon.I walked out of the hall and found my way to the restroom. I washed my hands and dried them up after I was done and walked out of the rest room. " it's been a while, Khalid" I could recognise that soothing voice anywhere. I turned my back to find the tall pretty blonde figure I was once crazy for. She was wearing a red short off- shouldered ball gown and golden heels. And her makeup and all, as usual perfect, she curled her hair to her right and she looked so beautiful." Pamela Hutchkins, how are you?
---------------Los Angeles, California.------------------------Lily's Specialist hospital ( 11:00am)" Faryah are you okay?" I heard Sophia ask as I slowly opened my eyes and saw her beautiful dark eyes looking into mine. " I am fine" I answered as I sat up right on the bed I was lying down on. I was in a hospital again. The ER. I watched as a female doctor walked into our cubicle with a wide smile. " You're awake now, that's nice miss, How are you feeling?" She asked as she came closer to touch my forehead. " I feel okay" apart from the heart ache. I still couldn't bring myself to accept that he cheated on me. He stabbed me right in the back. All the love he claimed to have for me, all of them, shattered in one single second. " Miss?" The doctor called and I snapped out of my zoning. " Sorry, I had something on my mind" I said and gave her a small smile. " Well I have good news for you Faryah, we ran some tests on you and we found th
-------------Los Angeles, California.--------------------------Olyster Residence(4:00pm)I really couldn't believe the anger in me made me hit a woman. It was so wrong. A part of me wanted to rush to her and protect her from Mother but she had to pay for lying to us. I really wanted to believe her explanations, I really wanted to, but I couldn't. I couldn't get the idea of she sleeping with another man out of my head. I loved her too much, I needed to find it in my heart to forget about her.I heard Grandpa’s car drive into the mansion. They were here. I really didn't mean for our argument to cause Faryah's grandfather a heart attack. I didn't know what I was going to do if she lost him. I walked out of my room and found GrandPa and Sophia walking into the living room. Mother and Brandon were still there. " How is he?" Mother asked as she got up from the couch. I knew she felt guilty as well. " Oh so y
----------------Los Angeles, California.--------------------------- Firdaus's new apartment." Thanks for coming Sophia" I said as I gave her a warm hug. I felt better after the shower and a little nap. She had brought my things, clothes and all, my certificates too. " You're welcome, I'm glad to be of help to you, to all of you, are you guys doing okay?" she asked as she sat on the blue couch. " We're okay, Firdaus and Mother are resting now" I said as I sat beside. " You know all of you are strong, you got over your grandfather's death pretty quickly"" We didn't get over it, we just accepted the facts and crying won't bring him back to us right?, all we have to do is pray" I said and smiled at her. " I really admire you guys, so are you going back to Indonesia?" She asked and I shook my head. " Well No, we're going to Malaysia instead, Firdaus has a two-year modelling project there, in Kuala Lumpur, we're
" okay now I think I made a huge mistake in marrying you Tyler. Why the hell did you bring a dog in here?, you know how much I dislike dogs and you brought one here and it popped all over my favourite carpet" lately all I did was throw tantrums at Tyler for no reason in particular.It was probably the baby in me that caused it." But you love dogs!, I thought it was going to cheer you up" My poor husband was trying to defend himself. Pregnancy wasn't easy honestly. One minute I was so mad and the next, I was crying." why don't you just let me complain?" I whined and threw myself on the comfy bed in our room. I was three weeks pregnant and it's been approximately seven months since we luckily put Pa Alejo and Miss Hae Soo in prison. Faryah and Khalid were in Rabat now and here I was, travelling the world during holidays with my husband Tyler. The asshole reverted for my sake. I remember clearly how I helped him say the Shahadah, he kept on stam
----------------Rabat, Morocco.------------------------------Three Months Later, Khayah Farms, 5:00pm." Mother used to tell me, if I ever find a good girl, I should never let her go. I'll never let you go Faryah" I heard Khalid whisper in my ear and I responded to him with a big radiant smile. He was holding Najmah in his right arm and our hands were intertwined with his left as we walked together round our huge apple farm in the heart of Rabat while letting the cool spring evening breeze soothe ourselves.Alhamdulillah.Khalid invested a lot of money in farms around the world, even in Kuala Lumpur. He said he bought a farm for an old man he met when he first came to Malay with Zarah. The man couldn't accept it just like that so they decided to split the ownership. The man owned half and Khalid owned the rest of the half.Najmah could walk now and as always, she was smiling. She was learning how to talk now, no more baby jibbe
-----------------Los Angeles, California.----------------------------Masjid Umar Ibn Al Khattab, two weeks later, 2:00pm" I, Faryah Edwards Mustapha have given myself away in Nikkah to you, Khalid Myles Olyster on the agreed Maher " My heart was literally dancing inside me as I let those words escape my lips." I have accepted the Nikkah" Khalid answered and I could hear Raihannah's tiny squeal from beside me.I have never been happier. I could finally hug him and cling to him always like before. Alhamdulillah.My heart was at ease and I was alive Alhamdulillah. If a minute had passed that faithful day and I wasn't given proper CPR, I would've either returned to Allah or had severe brain damage but here I was now. I was fine Alhamdulillah. I was happy and everything was right again in my life.Miss Hae Soo and Alejandro Martinez were gone and Najmah was back to us again with Zarah's help. I could finally sleep well
----------------Los Angeles, California.--------------------------Lily's hospital, 8:00pm, same day." I swear I'm going to kill that woman if anything happens to my wife, daughter and sister" I couldn't stand not doing anything. I felt so useless.Goodness.Miss Hae Soo struck again. This time she hurt Sophia and took Faryah away from me just like she took Najmah. I was literally just going insane by waiting for the police and knowing nothing about where my daughter and wife were.Well fiancée. But to me she's still very much my wife and In Sha’a Allah it was going to be finalized soon.I was going to keep on praying but I was longing for answers. No one even saw the person who came in to take Faryah and hurt Sophia, even the body guards.What was their use then?" We're lucky Sophia's fine" Ethan said as we looked at her lying peacefully on the hospital bed. Her he
---------------Medellin, Colombia.----------------------------Next day, 5:00pm. Martinez's Villa.Miss Ji Hae SooI was running out of time. Shim Seon Ah was out there and I was a fugitive. Everything I owned, all the properties, the connections, the hitmen, the weapons and the power I had. They were all gone. All because of some ordinary family. I had nothing left. The only person that was giving me a little bit of hope now was Uncle Alejo but he himself was broken because of the words his adopted daughter spat at him.The girl broke his heart and the old man was sulking.Yes, Alejandro Martinez was sulking because his daughter failed his test and now he had to kill her.The same man who had a heart of stone was heartbroken.It was true that everyone has his weak point. Alexandra Martinez was his.I was going to make sure I got my revenge on that Faryah Edwards Mustapha before the police got to me. I h
----------------------Medellin, Colombia.-----------------------------Present day, 11:15am, Martinez's Villa.All I want to do right now is to take a shower, get myself comfy in my pyjamas and cuddle myself in my queen sized bed and hopefully fall asleep.We successfully got the Korean lady on the train to Cartagena. I made sure I lectured her on not trying to contact anyone and she understood. Things were easy. I explained why I did everything I did to Tyler.I just hoped he wasn't going do something stupid to ruin my plans.I really couldn't wait for all this to be over. I missed my camera and the beautiful nature, to think I got a new photography job and here I was, shooting people.What a waste!The hot water trickled down my body from the shower as I scrubbed the sweat out of my body. I didn't want to get out of it but I just had to.Getting dressed after drying my hair and gellin
-----------------Medellin, Columbia.---------------------------- next morning, 5:00am, Martinez Cartel." Por qué llevas esa bufanda fea? Quítatela y déjame ver tu hermoso cabello oscuro. Oh, te he extrañado mucho mi querida hija (Why're you wearing that ugly scarf?, take it off and let me see your beautiful dark hair. Oh I've missed you a lot my dear daughter)" I wasn't in the mood for all his crap.He was still disgusting as always, still drinking and smoking his cigars at the same time." Pa Alejo, no estoy de humor para tus juegos. Me querías de vuelta, verdad? Ahora estoy aquí y estoy muy seguro de que tenemos un trato. Te daré un último servicio y eso es todo, así que puedes dejar de jugar y ser serio (Pa Alejo, I am not in the mood for your games. You wanted me back right?. Now I'm here and I am very sure we have a deal. I'll be of one last service to you and that's it so c
--------------Los Angeles, California.-------------------------- Valentine's residence. Same day, 12:45pm." I got this for you when we newly got married back then remember?. I couldn't give it to you early because you were attacked and you went into a deep coma" Khalid said as he sat beside me with a little space in between us on my comfy bed with velvet bed sheets. Super amazing. He was holding the diary he got for me back then.The one with the password " My Voice"." of course I remember my diary Khalid" I answered and he handed it over to me. " Well it's no longer your diary, it's now our journal of happy memories, nothing sad. I want you to read the first entry" He replied as he stared at me. " Just type in my voice and start reading" He looked excited. " you look happy" I typed in the alphabets and the lock opened." I'm always happy when I'm around you" I heard him say as I flipped the cover of the diary over and lo
-----------------Los Angeles, California.---------------------------------Two days later, Freehand hotel, Los Angeles, 11:00am.Maybe I should just turn back and leave. I wasn't exactly the person he wanted to see or even talk to in his life so why bother?. He opened the door and I scowled at the sight in front of me. I was once in his shoes." Why are you here?" He asked with a growl as I played with my hands in my pockets. " I came to check up on you" I tried my best to stay cool but all I could feel was pity for the guy. No wonder Faryah was sad that they didn't get to talk to properly. " so you came to mock me?"" Oh no, not at all. I just came to talk to you, man to man" he frowned and tried to slam the door at my face but I was quick to stop him. " Look. I know I am someone you don't want to ever talk to in your life but please hear me out. I really need to talk to you" He squashing me between the door and the wall.This was all
