The two lovers slept peacefully in each other's arms. These was the scene Humeyra witnessed. Looking at the two, she couldn't help but shake her head. The temptations were too great even for her little sister.
She recalled how she had tied Hamdan up and did unthinkable things to him . She was not perfect. No one was. What makes a difference however is that, if we must learn from our mistakes, then it would hurt more than learning from others mistakes.
She was no difference from Muntaha. She was stealthy in her moves and could easily move about without shifting the direction of air to alert anyone. Humeyra found all the weapons Muntaha brought along and placed them in her leather jacket. She then left a little note behind for Muntaha to find.
Two hours after Humeyra's visit, Rumeysa woke up. She had over slept and missed her morning prayers for the first time in ages. She sighed out loud before stretching her ha
Humeyra and Hamdan sat in the car as they were driven back to their home country. They opted to travel by road due to Humeyra's early pregnancy.It was quiet unsafe to board a plane in her state.Unfortunately,her morning sickness opted to start on the same day they had started their journey. Hamdan felt pained watching his wife throw up almost everything she consumed. She appeared more frail that she normally was which he didnt like.As she laid on her husband's shoulder to rest, he would caress her cheeks lovingly from time to time to remind her that he was there for her. Her head would shift from his shoulder to laying on his lap from time to time.The journey that should normally take two days on the roadtook two extra days. They would stop to find a hotel to rest at night and start their journey the next day. Hamdan would massage Humeyra's entire body before bed every night and help ma
The three men sat together trying to come up with a solution. This was the first time that they had excluded Hamdan in talking out things. Who could blame them though?It was in deed a very sensitive issue.Bilal sat facing his younger brothers. Among all the siblings , he was the second eldest after Hamdan andwas only a year younger than him. Hamdan had his mother's facial features but his father's character. He got the best of the two.On the other hand, Bilal was the complete opposite.He got his father's looks and his mother's cruel nature. Though he was older thanBoth Zuneir and Abdirahman, he was a sadist.Currently,he was wondering and imagining how he would have finished what zuneir had started if he was in his shoes.Just thinking of their sister- in - law, one word dominated his mind. Covet! He lusted after everything in a skirt. The perfect playboy. His look
Wahid has been in Jayda Rabia for three days now and true to his initial assumption he would not be able to rest even for a second. Looking at all the legal documents in his possession, he didn’t know where to start from.The copies of the original wills, affidavits, and witness signed documents felt as heavy as wet clay soil in his hand. Wahid was Humeyra’s legal advisors and head of legal dealings in all of her ventures.The call he had declined in the presence of Farhana was from one of his junior advocates who handled legal issues that had no major impact. What he had in his hands, however, felt like a time bomb that would cause havoc once it fell in the wrong hands.He momentarily ignored the papers lying on his desk and went to stand by the widow. Looking outside the transparent glass of the window, he watched the rain fall gently from the heavens greeting the earth that welcomed its cooling effect.The soil outside greedil
The room that was once clean enough to be used as a huge plate was now in shambles. Debris of rocks scattered everywhere as dust filled the once pure air and polluted it.Near the humongous window, laid a man with no signs of breathing. Blood flowed out of the open wound at the back of his head. His once debonair crispy suit was now half torn. The parts that were not torn were full of dirt .If one could get closer , one could smell charred clothes from the still body on the cold floor.The surprising and weird thing about the whole situation, however,was that the door was still intact. A few minutes passed when peace and an eerie silence fell over the ruined room.Heavy footsteps could be heard coming towards the room. From the sound emitted by the steps, one could easily deduce that the people approaching were many.Soon, military boots approached the door which was still intact. The w
The handsome soldier was in a trace for a few minutes until the beeping of his phone alerted him. He used his hand to reach out for his phone as his gaze lingered on wahid's sleeping form a little longer.He retrieved his phone and turned it on. It was only then that his penetrating gaze moved from wahid's face to the phone screen. Looking at the content of the message he had just received, his features contorted in irritation.He let out a heavy sigh as he stood up. It was only then that he realised how much of his weight was on wahid's lap. He had forgotten about straddling him. This made his ears turn a bright shade of pinkHe stoodtall between wahid's legs and gave him one last long lingering gaze filled with longing before he turned his head and walked towards the open dent in the wall.His fellow comrades were already on stand by ready to vacate the premises.Befo
Three days passed by quickly and finally Wahid was released from the hospital.He dreaded what was to come but he had no option. He braced himself and boarded a plane back to the heart of Country A, the city of Marjaan.This was the capital city of Country A where Hamdan and Humeyra lived. Though Hamdan was born and raisedin Wadia , his whole family basically leavedin the capital since Wadia was a few minutes drive on the outskirts of the city.Humeyra was currently three months pregnant and her hormones were playing games with her. She would be happy often but her mood swings were coming on and off like that of a teenager.She was getting extra clingy towards Hamdan as days passed by to a point where she would make Hamdan miss work some times. Even so, Hamdan never complained.Though he was irritated from time to time by her mood swings, his heart would soften every time he saw tears
The family slept well with anticipation and excitement evident in the atmosphere. Hamdan and Humeyra cuddled into each other’s body. Hamdan was fast asleep but Humeyra was wide awake. This was not because she had a choice but her body never cooperates with her.It was a habit. Whenever she changed her location, then it would be hard for her to fall asleep until she gets used to the environment. This also happened to be the first time she would stay in her husband’s family home.She stayed snuggled into Hamdan’s arms enjoying the steady beating of his heart. She loved this husband of hers more than anything and any person that was alive. He was her home, her family and her safety net.He had given her a family, cherished and loved her. She was fully aware the kind of torment her mood swings have brought to him but he neither complained nor showed any signs of being reluctant. He had bee
Hamdan, Wahid, Abdi Rahman, Bilal , Zuneir and the head of the family Umar sat on one side of the dining room eating from one big plate while Humeyra, Juweyriya, Yusra, Yalina and the house female boss Hafsa sat together to eat from the other plate.“Sister-in-law, do you plan to eat with your veil on? Do not fret. We all are a family. Feel at home, “come Bilal’s voice. He liked making jokes the most but his jokes were not always amusing.Hamdan, Wahid and Umar sent him a warning look simultaneously. Hamdan then looked at his wife who didn’t respond. Coincidentally she was also looking at him and silently asking for his permission to unveil her face.He nodded subtly as a silent understanding passed through their eyes. Though the rest didn’t comment, everyone was eagerly waiting to see the girl’s face including a certain someone who had been feeling guilty ever since Humeyra and Hamdan showed up at
