I watched as she was wheeled into the room, maybe she was never going to come out of the room, I sat on the cold hospital bench with my whole family.

Rafah was in my hands clutching so tightly to me that will leave my cloths squeeze, to hell with it been ruined.

It all started with akhtar coughing blood, I which was because of cancer, cancer patients coughing blood but the case was never with akthar.

She was all responding to her treatment so that I think the doctors who said she was going to spend just few days where so wrong, she spent a whole month.

We where all in the middle of a little family get together when her cough started and got so much out of control leading to her been so numb and Cold.

I was always terrified at the site of blood but i seemed to over come this seeing blood coming out from her mouth, no akthar was vomiting blood profusely untill she took her last Breath before turning off.

The rear light went off which meant they where done with the I couldn't sat exertly what for she was just rushed into it.

All my other family members stood we rushed to the door where a dark skin doctor stopped took off his gloves then instructed us to come to his office for better explaining.

I was running out of patience and Leo could sense that he placed his hands on my shoulder giving me a reassuring squeeze which actually calm me down and stopped me from snapping at the doctor.

We where all allowed to see her after she regained conscience, I was the last to get into the room when all left.

She has a week smile on her face, the doctor talked on her proceeding with the radio therapy which will hopefully kill the cancer cells in her brain but has 20% of her surviving.

I pushed a chair next to her, took her hands in mine just noticing how fragile it was.

"How are you feeling" I asked not sure if she was going to be able to speak with the oxygen yet she squeezed my hands gently just to reassure me she was going to be fine.

Tears wailed up in eyes as I was quick to whip it away, "I love you" I stated I wasn't sure if what I felt for akhtar was love,it was nothing compared to what I felt for Rafah but my heart always beat at the mention of her name.

"Please don't leave me" I pleaded again breaking into sob I don't care if I may sound so selfish but heck I couldn't let her leave me like Rafah does.

"What will I tell Rafah when she's all grown up Asking for her mother" I asked again afraid I couldn't never let any female into my life again I couldn't stand it.

Mommy was who pushed the door open, akhtar smile at her, she whipped my tears with her weak hands which I was sure will be soar after that.

"You shouldn't make her worried Deen" came my mother's voice with Rafah tight securely behind her back as the girl who looked so much like her mother slept peaceful.

All attributes of Rafah was same as her mother's athkar, the only difference was the hazel eyes color she took from me.

"Deen you should go rest for the night" mother urged but I shook my head in negativity adamant on sleeping over till we where discharged tomorrow.

"I know you don't want to leave her side but you need rest son to take proper care of her" my mind there paused again.

With me not having enough strength to argue with my mother more, I stood to my feet placing a soft kiss on my wife's pale forehead we made way out of the room.

The drive back home went in silent with my mind all around how can I cope without akhtar in my life her.

Just after she let herself get into my life, she got me so much attached to her the pain was something similar to what I felt when I lost Rafah, it was as though I have already let go of Rafah I had come to time that she was never going to come back never in this lifetime.

May we meet one day in jannah, may Allah forgive all her sins may Allah forgive all her shortcomings and Grant her jannatul firdausi.

May he light up her gave, may her sallah be her companions always,may her give be enlarged ameeenn.

I prayed as the driver pulled in the driveway, I offer to talk Rafah to bed which mother agreed after so much persuasion.

"You Know she supposed to get a bath before tucking her to bed" mummy yelled after me maybe remanding me to just let her nanny do her work.

No way I was never going to let a nanny do all those stuffs to my daughter as long as am fine, akthar was never allowing to a nanny taking care of her daughter even when she started falling sick.

The next day was soon to arrive, I wheeled akhtar to the lots of the hospital on the wheelchair which I got for her to be moving when her limps got too soar and aching much.

"Babbyyyyy you shouldn't Know that Allah loves you to have throw so many trials your way, just look at the prophet Yusuf As...
