" Remember I took a leave yesterday ammie, please just send what you need me to look over, I'll get back to you, I'm going to the hospital today with Raihannah, I can't check them out now please, I'm sorry, I'll do it later" I said into the phone as I gelled my body. " Fine, Make sure our baby is okay, please call me when you're done okay, I really need your review on all what has happened in the industry this month" Miriam said into the phone as I powdered my face a little. " Sure Ammie, I have to go okay, she's waiting for me downstairs, I'll see you soon" I said as I was about to end the call. " Alright, my regards to Raihanna, Ma'assalam" She greeted. " Bis'salam" I answered and fi
——————- Al Muta'akhir Specialist hospital.——————————Same dayFaroukOnly one person called me Farouky.Fauziyyah.It's been approximately 19 years since we last saw or heard from my twin sister since she was taken away from us.I felt a familiar feeling when I saw Faryah. 18 years of searching for her and she came to us. I really hoped she was the one. I was never going to forget how Ummah went through mental crisis for a year plus when we lost her. The investigators had to conclude that she was dead but Ummah kept on believing that she was alive, she almost ran mad cause of our loss. But Alhamdulillah we sought psychological help and she came back. My Ummah came back to us. But she still kept on believing that Fauziyyah was alive and she was going to
-------Los Angeles, California.----------Olyster Textiles."Khalid can we go for lunch later today?, you always decline, why don't you just agree for once" Pamela asked into the phone as I got into my car. " Pamela I'm busy" I answered as I connected my phone to the Bluetooth of my car. " You're always busy Khalid, you don't even have time for me anymore, this isn't how it's supposed to be"" Pamela, leave me alone, let me be, what are we supposed to be?"" You can't just get rid of me like that Khalid, you and I are expecting children, twins for that matter Khalid" I sighed as those words tore my heart into pieces over and over. " I'll see you later" I said bluntly and hung up the call.Pamela seduced me into sleeping with her. Approximately five and a half months ago. She found me drunk in a bar, something that was so unusual of me. She helped me out of there
——————Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur——————————Edwards Residence ( Three Months Later)Living with my family made me realize more that family meant more than anything in the whole world. We were so very happy.Firdaus and Naim got married last month and are currently on the their honeymoon in Qatar.I got to find out about my real family since they convinced me to move in with them and Ummi got an apartment for herself. I wasn't comfortable leaving her all by herself but she was the one who insisted I joined my real family.So I didAnd we bonded.I found out that I had cousins and a maternal aunt and uncle, Uncle Haneef and Aunty Haneefah and my cute cousins and their partners also. They were all so nice and friendly and not to
——————— Nigeria, Kaduna———————————Kaduna Airport(8 Months Later)" Well the surrounding's different and why's everyone looking at us Khalifa" I pouted as I looked at Najmah in front of me. " Well you hardly see many foreigners in Nigeria, so they stare when they get an opportunity, and besides most of the foreigners that come here are usually ugly, so you and Najmah are a different case" He said and it made me laugh a little.We were in Nigeria, Kaduna State to be precise. I came along with my daughter, Khalifa, Farouk and my parents, along side Ummah, Naim and Firdaus. One big happy family.Najmah was already 8 Months old, she grew up to look more like Khalid but still had some of my features. She always reminded me of Khalid and the perfect and happy family we would've made. But Khalif
——————Kaduna State, Nigeria————————11:00pm, Gwamna Road.I got along more with his Father than any of his family members. They were quite a model family, rich, beautiful and happy. MashaAllah.Khalifa's Father, Muhammad Kassim Danesi, was from Edo state, Nigeria. He was from, and I quote "Etsako West" part of the state. He also told me how popular his family was. They were a royal family. He also told us the story behind him and Mama Arafah's marriage. It was chaotic.I had to think Khalifa lied when he told me that his father was strict and reserved. He seemed free and very okay with me. I liked that fact, he was funny, like Khalifa.Khalifa sat by me, holding my hand in his throughout the night.Najmah was playing with Aneesah, Ruqayyah and Mama Arafah.
———————Valentine's Residence——————————Los Angeles, California." She's getting married to the man she cheated on me with" I snapped as Ethan collected Kim from me. " You see that is your problem, how can you say you want her back when you still think she cheated, Khalid stop confusing yourself" Sophia answered." look Khalid let me ask you something, if you see Faryah what's the first thing that's going to come to your mind?" She asked. " the video" I answered almost instantly. " you see, it's not supposed to be like that, you love her, accept that she didn't do that, deep inside you I know you know the truth, Khalid think about it, even if you want to talk to her and sort things out, you won't know what to say, you need to find it in your heart to genuinely trust her and forget about what happened, even if it's n
-----Marafa Estate------------10:00am, Morning of The Wedding Day.The evening I spent with Khalifa last night made me forget all about my worries. We went to Havilah ice cream and we spent about two hours there. We talked a lot and bonded more.Raihannah's Mother found us a makeup artist and a woman that ties amazing headscarves for us for the event. But she was to come later after the nikkah.I was going to wear an Ankara material that was sewn into a real beautiful gown. It was simple but something I could wear, Raihannah's tailor made it for us here, for I, Firdaus, Ummah, Ummi and ammie. The men were going to wear something called gezner.White in colour.I couldn't wait to see how my parents were going to look.We were definitely going to take a family picture and we were definitely going to rock the Nigerian look.Najmah's dress was just like mine, I couldn't wait to see how my baby was going to look also. Miriam
—————Marafa Estate, Kaduna.————————— 4:00pm.Luckily here again, the prayer time for Salatul Asr here was 3:34pm. Khalifa took I and Najmah to a restaurant to get lunch and I gave Miriam my keys to take my car home.We had already done our makeup and headscarves and I have to commend how creative Nigerians were in head-tie tying.The others had lunch at Raihannah’s place, they were now husband and wife. I was so happy for them. Alhamdulillah.My Brother and My Best friend made the perfect couple, I was so happy and proud of them.They were blessed Ya Allah.And Insha’Allah their marriage was going to be a peaceful one. They understood each other and they didn't keep secrets from one another. They trusted each other no matter and they wer
" 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
