Their First Ramadhan
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

HER SECRETS, HIS LOVE When Hearts Soften
The Ramadan effect finally set in. Every empty stomach remembered the less privileged and gave more either in terms of money or food staffs. Fasting was compulsory for every individual who had taken an oath that they believe in one and only One God, Allah and that Muhammad is His messenger provided that the said individual has reached the age of puberty.The fasting period entailed half of the day running from dawn to dusk. It reminded those that always had whatever they wanted and even wasted food that there were others who had almost no food for the whole day or those who survived on one meal a day.Every one's heart was softened during this time. No one was born evil. The only difference was that other people could easily be tempted while others had a good self control. Such was the case with every individual.The residents of Umar'smansionwoke up and continued with new routines specific to the holy

HER SECRETS, HIS LOVE Juweyriya's Confession 1
Juweyriya looked up at the handsome man sitting across her. It was the first time anyone had cared enough to ask about her feelings regarding Hamdan’s marriage. Hafsa who had been feeding her all sort of false information all this time, didn’t bother to ask how she felt. She, in fact was selfish enough to invite her to her home, just to create a rift between the couple who were very much in love.She neither took her son’s discomfort in her consideration nor did she care about her feelings. She made sure that juweyriya was at their mansion as always. Although Hafsa was not completely bad, she was selfish most of the time and didn’t put others into considerations.This was her major flaw. She always thought about her comfort before others. She didn’t care if in the process someone else was uncomfortable or hurt even if the person was her son. Juweyriya felt genuine concern from Wahid’s questio
HER SECRETS, HIS LOVE Juweyriya's Confession 2
Wahid’s eyes filled with hatred and darkness as he thought of the kind of damage the video had almost done to his and Humeyra’s relationship. He had almost betrayed her and hurt her something he regrets to date. He had hated his actions but they were not reversible.Thinking of the relationship he had started with Farhana out of a whim, he felt as if he was betraying Humeyra’s trust once more. He should have not made some decisions while he was high on testosterone. He should have taken his time to know with whom he was getting involved in.He didn’t want to listen to more but he would have to anyways. Juweyriya looked at the man whose initial empty orbs were now filled with animosity. For a moment she was scared by his looks. His eyes were like a mirror that conveyed his deepest feelings when he let loose. She was use to Hamdan’s coldness but it never scared her like Wahid’s gaze did.
